Shadow Hunter

My Rating:

Shadow Hunter is the perfect book for men who like to read fiction. It has suspense, a military setting, and no mushy "roll the eyes romance". Now, even though I just said that it's the perfect novel for men, I read it and still enjoyed it, even without the romance. The focus of the story is solely on catching this particular terrorist. What’s so cool is that you get to see the story unfold from both the government's side and the terrorist’s side. It was very interesting and if you have a military background I think you'd really enjoy it.

Traitor and Tribunal

My Rating:

This is a great read for those who enjoy a little history woven into a fictitious story. Now my brain is only about 10% history driven and 90% romance driven, but Sandra Grey did a great job intermingling fact and fiction in keeping me engrossed through out the whole book. I learned a lot about the war in France, the resistance, and the Gestapo without ever realizing I had diverted from the story and was actually reading history. (And just as a side note, there’s definitely a romance worthy of reading in this story along with a few shockers that I didn’t see coming!)
For those of you who are real history buffs, check out the historical notes for each chapter at the back of the book where Grey provides even more information about World War II.
In summary, when there’s gallantry, conflict, romance, and espionage all woven into one story…who wouldn’t love Traitor? And no worries guys, the romance is very low key. Both men and women would enjoy reading this novel.


Tribunal (Sequel to Traitor)
My Rating:

Yes, It’s true! The sequel to Traitor is here and it picks up right where Traitor left off…but the plot thickens!!! We now have a couple of new characters who bring unexpected twists and havoc into the lives of Marie, Rolf, and Hans. And certain decisions must be made that could mean life or death for some. But I don’t want to be a plot spoiler so, if you’ve read Traitor and want to know more, you’ll just have to read Tribunal. Believe me, it’ll be worth it.

Royal Target

My Rating:

You know the famous line “If you build it they will come” from the movie Field of Dreams? Well, “If Traci Abramson writes it, I’ll read it!” I was so excited when I found out Royal Target was coming out and what it was about, I mean come on! Janessa works for the CIA and is given the assignment to help protect the royal family after they’ve received numerous death threats. In order to do this she must become engaged to the prince! This has romance and action written all over it. How could I not get excited!? There’s a handsome prince, royal jewels, beautiful dresses, girls with guns… It’s every girls dream! (well except the part where people are trying to kill you) Anyway, I read it and loved it. No surprise there. I love Traci’s writing style. The romance is there, but so is the suspense! And come on, we all know those are the two things that can make or break a book. If you read Royal Target and like it, be on the lookout for another book Traci’s writing called Lockdown. It’s due out sometime in March of 2009!
