Welcome to my #AmReading feature! I am highlighting an author and their book currently visible in the “Fair Weather” widget celebrating blue skies, following seas, and my Goodreads (currently reading) list.
This week I am presenting Nancy Bush (previously published as Nancy Kelly) and her book No Turning Back. This was a download from the publisher and #NetGalley. The book was released on December 26, 2017 by Zebra as an updated reprint of the original twenty years ago. Amazon classifies the novel as a mystery, thriller & crime, and kidnapping and is only 304 pages.
I will be presenting my review on Tuesday, January 2, 2018, as the last book of 2017. In the meantime (from Amazon), here is the
Book Blurb:
They find the body deep in the woods, lying beneath a carpet of wet leaves, eyes still open in a sightless stare. Three dark stains across his chest, and another bullet hole in his forehead.
Child psychologist Liz Havers made a mistake sixteen years ago, and she’s ready to face it. That means confronting Detective Hawthorne “Hawk” Hart, who’s come back to Woodside, Washington, after a case in LA went tragically wrong. His teenage son, Jesse, is finding it difficult to adjust, and stumbling across a dead man doesn’t help.
Bad things never used to happen in the small town of Woodside. Now no one is safe. And the more Hawk tries to untangle a terrifying web of greed and murder, the more desperate his adversary becomes to hide the truth, even if that means killing again and again . . .

And for you as well. Thinking at my age I may have to stop forcing myself to finish a book I’m not thrilled about and just move on. There are so many…

I know. I keep telling myself that too. So far nothing I forced myself to finish was really that bad. Most of them ended up having some redeeming quality 😊

I just read this, I was really disappointed. I have always liked her books but the lead character- falling in love with a guy who used and left her, treated her horribly thru the whole book and she keeps going back for more. and this person is supposed to be counseling teen girls- she seemed to have the maturity of a teen girl when it came to this jerk. I felt it sent the wrong message. I keep hoping just one time she would let loose on him.

It was my first review in Jan 2018 and looking back on it, see I didn’t fully appreciate it either. It does send the wrong message. Rereading the blurb, it was written over twenty years ago and got a make-over, including the cover, which didn’t do a lot for me either. Some books just don’t click. Thanks for the comment!
