The Chase was a gripping thriller, blurring the lines of the law to get justice. Even though Kate O'Hara and Nicholas Fox were once on opposite sides of the law, they don't let that get in the way of their relationship. They work well together, picking up traits from each other along their journey. I didn't read the first book of the series, but the good thing about The Chase was there was enough background information that didn't leave me confused as to how an FBI agent and a career criminal ended up working together. Evanovich and Goldberg did a nice job of recapping their history without making it feel bogged down.

I recently started writing for Books and Pals , a popular site dedicated to reading indie books. I’m excited about the opportunity for several reasons. 1.         I love to read : This gives me a chance to read as many books as I want while finding great new voices. 2.        It makes me a better writer : By reading more books, I will find great techniques that I may want to employ or even things I don’t like. Reading and writing more will only help in the long run. 3.         A better sense of community : I’ve noticed over the last couple of years that self-publishers are a close group. So many of them are willing to help with design, formatting, and pass along great ideas. I look forward to meeting more of those people. I’d like to give a special shout out to Al for bringing me on board. My first review is up and I am reading my second book now. This is about three times the size of the last book so it’s taking me a bit longer to get through.
