Suspense, Faith, and Romance Hold you in a Grip, October 5, 2010
This review is from: Fear No Evil (Paperback)
What a Story! It starts out about Lincoln's Dad having Alheminer's, a disease I truly can relate to. My Mom died this past January after 3 years of dealing with the disease so I could relate to Lincoln's feelings.
Then Jade is run off the road and hits a tree. I've not been run off the road but I know first hand what it is to hit a tree. I felt myself experiencing this part of story.
I grew up during the gang era and know what Robin wrote so well as it was a major thing in the big cities. But I did learn a lot I did not know.
This book will grip you from page 1 to the end. You won't be able to put it down. Each chapter makes you want to keep reading.
Your faith will be uplifted as you read about Jade and the flash bomb that goes off and her recovery. Lincoln dealing with his Dad's Alheminers and kidnapping andmore. I found a revival myself through this book.
If you think your situations are hard to handle, I encourage you to read this.
I truly loved the scripture at beginning of each chapter. Read it as it goes with chapter well.

fast-paced and exciting, October 28, 2010
This review is from: Fear No Evil (Paperback)
Officer Lincoln Vailes came to the small town of Eternal Springs, Louisiana, to help take care of his ailing father. What he never expected was to be dealing with flooding in the aftermath of a hurricane or for dead bodies to start showing up left and right.
Social worker Jade Laurent has secrets in her past that make her even more passionate about helping the battered women and kids that her job brings into her life. Because of her past, she doesn't have room for a man in her life, not even the handsome officer who keeps showing up in the nick of time.
When the violence surrounding Jade escalates, she and Lincoln are thrown together in the fight of their lives. Will they survive? Will they fall in love?
Robin really brings the reader into this book by using really strong descriptives about the setting. One of my favorites was when she describes the humidity as making the hero feel as if his dress suit is a wetsuit. Yikes! She does a great job of making you feel you are *there*, right in the story.
The author also keeps the pace of the story fast - but not too fast - so that the reader is drawn into the action. I really had a hard time putting this book down. The mystery/gang storyline is woven in throughout the small-town storylines in a way that keeps the reader guessing and interested.
The love story in this romantic suspense was deftly handled and draws the reader in to that part of the book. Overall, this is a quality read. Recommended.

Excellent Christian Thriller, October 19, 2010
This review is from: Fear No Evil (Paperback)
Fear No Evil by Robin Caroll grabbed me from the very first page and I found the book very hard to put down. Every time I walked by the computer I had to stop to read another page or two. This being the first book I have read of Ms. Carolls I know it will not be the last. I have not had the pleasure as of yet to read the first book Deliver Us From Evil but I feel this newest book can be read as a standalone.
Lincoln Vailes a police officer has moved from Tennessee to Louisiana to be closer to his parents. His father due to being diagnosed with Alzheimer's has been placed in a nursing home. While on an assignment he meets Jade Laurent, a Child Welfare worker with a past of her own. As the story continues someone is out to kill her and now Jade is trying to protect her. As his feelings grow deeper , the accidents are getting more violent. Now they both learn that her long lost brother is about to show up at the hospital. Where has he been for the past 15-20 years. As gang related incidents start to happen are they related to the threat on Jades life. Now with her brother on the scene, will they discover whoever it is that is trying to kill Jade .Which gang are they from. Will this now lead to Jade's death or will she survive the threats and attempts that have been placed on her life?
If you are looking for a high thriller book with more twist and turns than a Louisiana country road without all the sexual content and coarse language then I highly recommend Robin Caroll's newest Christian Suspense book Fear No Evil. I thoroughly enjoyed the book from cover to cover. The characters are quite absorbing and one feels as if they are right in the middle of all the happenings that are going on. This is a edge of your seat thriller that I highly recommend.
I would like to thank the author and B&H Publishing through Net Galley for providing this ARC copy for my review.
