Blind Spot by Dani Pettrey is book three in her Chesapeake Valor series. It was the first of her books that I have read. Without having read books 1 and 2 there were times I felt a bit lost, but not so much as to make the book unenjoyable or hard to follow. I just felt like I would have understood the characters a bit better if I had read the other books. I also felt like I might have had a bit more information on the case that Declan and Tanner were working on.
I found it different and interesting that there were at least two different cases going on through out the book. While Declan and Tanner worked on their case as the main characters of this book; Griffin, Parker, Finley, Avery, and Kate worked another case. There was also Luke, who was a member of their group, before he disappeared, who is working on something that may tie into someone's case. This book definitely falls into the Mystery and Drama categories, but I wouldn't call it a thriller.
Now, while this book wasn't bad, and I don't regret reading it, I must say it ended up falling outside my comfort zone. Before I selected this book to read I read the back of the book and thought it sounded great. That's how you're supposed to choose books, right!?! I wasn't prepared for what I found inside. I will admit that I believe in God, however, I am far from the devoted Christian my mom and sister wish I was. I most definitely am not a fan of Christian Fiction. I did make it through this book, and for the most part I enjoyed it. I did frequently find myself skipping the parts where there characters were praying, either by themselves or as a group. This happened I would say at least once per chapter. So, if you like Christian Fiction I think you will like this book, if Christian Fiction isn't your thing, it's probably not for you. While I find myself wanting to know more about the characters and how things turn out in the end of this series, I don't want to know bad enough to read any of the other books myself.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
