Kregel: Peril by Jordyn Redwood

Song Stuck on the Brain: F.U.N. from Sponge Bob. My nephew was here last night and we watched the video. He danced and I sang it for the next 24 hours. :)

Peril

Bloodline Trilogy #3

By

 

Jordyn Redwood

MY TAKE:

Jordyn Redwood brings the best of psychological, medical, murder mystery and suspense together in on explosive story that also weaves in faith and true love effortlessly. Her books have been brilliant.

Peril is the third book in the Bloodline Trilogy, and I have to say, I hope it's not the last. The opening scene was enough to have me holding my breath and getting chills. Imagine just what the rest of the book does. It's an electrifying roller coaster ride. ( probably the only rollercoaster I'll willingly ride. ) :)

Be sure to read more about the first two books in the series: Proof and Poison

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Dr. Thomas Reeves is at the pinnacle of his career. The Department of Defense has awarded him a lucrative contract for his new research into superior autobiographical memory, which promises the ability to create combat troops able to quickly learn complex battle plans and enact them perfectly under the most demanding battlefield scenarios.

An elite unit has received neural grafts from fetal cadavers of genetically altered brain cells with enhanced NMDA receptors. The results are remarkable . . . until the recipients begin suffering hallucinations, nightmares, paralysis, . . . and death. Dr. Reeves searches for answers, but DOD insiders want him to stop the search.
The situation becomes public when pediatric ICU nurse Morgan Adams, Dr. Reeves’s daughter, is taken hostage by three research subjects in an attempt to force Dr. Reeves into disclosing why they are sick. If answers aren’t revealed within twenty-four hours, patients in the pediatric ICU will be killed.

This spine-tingling conclusion to the Bloodline Trilogy raises spiritual and ethical dilemmas torn directly out of today’s headlines. When does life begin? How far does commitment to family go? And can the sins of the father ever be forgiven?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

 Jordyn Redwood has served patients and their families for nearly 20 years and currently works as a pediatric ER nurse. As a self professed medical nerd and trauma junkie, she was drawn to the controlled chaotic environments of critical care and emergency nursing. Her love of teaching developed early and she was among the youngest CPR instructors for the American Red Cross at the age of seventeen. Since then, she has continued to teach advanced resuscitation classes to participants ranging from first responders to MD’s.

When she discovered she also had a fondness for answering medical questions for authors, this led to the creation of Redwood’s Medical Edge. This blog is devoted to helping contemporary and historical authors write medically accurate fiction.

Jordyn lives in Colorado with her husband, two daughters and one crazy hound dog. In her spare time she also enjoys reading her favorite authors, quilting and cross stitching.

Kregel: Poison by Jordyn Redwood

Today, on behalf of Kregel, I'm touring:

Poison

Bloodline Trilogy #2 

by

Jordyn Redwood

My Take:

I knew before cracking the spine that I was going to love Jordyn Redwood's latest. I've been anticipating Poison since I closed the cover on Proof, book 1 in the Bloodline Trilogy.

Jordyn has a great feel for tension and pace. The action doesn't flag your attention, it grabs you by the throat. Both past and present, their is evil personified and the journey to safety and justice is just breathtaking. I hate to give anything away, this is the kind of book where you want surprises. So please take my word for it and go pick this one up right away.

Read my review of book 1, Proof.
 

About the Book:

Five years ago, Keelyn Samuels's armed, mentally ill stepfather took her family hostage in their house in rural Colorado. She and her half-sister Raven made it out alive, but others did not. Authorities blamed the father's frequent hallucinations about a being named Lucent, but in the end, even the best of the FBI's hostage negotiators failed to overcome the man's delusions and end the standoff peacefully.

SWAT team member Lee Watson was there that day. He watched it all unfold and was able to pull Keelyn and Raven from the grip of their demon-possessed father. Though partially successful, his team had still failed, and the outcome of that day--and that tortured family--has continued to plague Lee ever since. Though unusual for SWAT to reconnect with survivors, Lee bumped into Keelyn two years after the crisis, and they both found some peace in their budding relationship. But peace is hard to maintain when the memory returns . . . in the flesh.

Lucent is back, and he's no hallucination. In fact, he is a very real person with dangerous motives. He has kidnapped Raven's daughter, and--Keelyn worries--maybe has hurt Raven as well. Though she is estranged from her sister, Keelyn feels the immediate need to find Raven and save what family she has left. But when others who were involved in that fateful day start dying, some by mysterious circumstances, Keelyn wonders if she and Lee can emerge unscathed a second time.

The highly anticipated second installment of the Bloodline Trilogy explores the boundaries of faith and family and what happens when both are put to the test.
