It was really kinda rough for me to get into this book at the beginning, so if you don't think you will like this book keep reading. So like I said rough start, then whew I couldn't stop. I had no idea who the killer was. I thought I did, but I didn't, I wasn't even close. I have already started the second book in the series. I like the police detectives, their families and the way they work together. This is only a 3 book series but it could be more as Ryan and Manziuk could have a long partnership.… (mehr)

More Than a Friend (Circle of Friends Book 4) von N. J. Lindquist

This is the final book in the series. It could be a stand-alone book but would be much more interesting if read in order. The story flows well and continues the life of Glen and his friends. The characters are well developed and interesting. The editing, which can be a deal breaker for me, is good, though not perfect. There were both word and punctuation errors. Even though the story is about teenagers and growing up, even a senior citizen like me enjoyed the book. It is a good, clean read.

A Friend In Need (Circle of Friends) (Volume 3) von N. J. Lindquist

I am always excited when I find a new author. I have read several books from this author and each one gets better than the one before it. The story is about Glen and his friends at school. It may be geared toward teens, but I believe it is really for anyone . We all struggle with self-esteem issues even as adults. It is really hard trying to fit in as you get older. I loved how Glen has continued to grow in his relationship with God. He has become really versed in scripture and I love how he uses sharing it with his friends. I also loved how prayer played a vital part in the story.

There is a love triangle between Glen, Nicole and Charlie. I really felt sorry for Charlie. Here is this very popular guy that all the girls like, but his jealousy really eats away at his confidence. It made me think of all the times I wanted to be pretty so I would be liked. After reading this story it has shown me that once again beauty is only skin deep. When we allow jealousy, revenge and lies to take over we find ourselves getting further away from God. Glen is a great character and I have enjoyed watching him mature and find his voice to pray for others. He is a great example of a teen that desires to do the right thing. His ability to forgive is a sure sign of maturing .

I did like how the author gave us a bit of intrigue in the story by having mysterious letters sent to someone. Who is sending letters that are filled with hate? Could it be a girl that feels rejected or is it a boy that doesn't feel confident in himself? I loved this storyline because it deals with everyday issues teens face. The author kept my interest throughout the story and I enjoyed getting to know the characters better. The overall theme for me was how important it is to be a friend that can be trusted and to forgive others quickly. I look forward to more books from this gifted author.

I received a copy of this book from The BookClub Network. The review is my own opinion.… (mehr)

A Friend In Need (Circle of Friends) (Volume 3) von N. J. Lindquist

This is the 3rd book in the series. It is just as good as the others. It continues the story of Glen and his friends. It shows how God is working in his life. The characters are well developed and believable. The story flows well and keeps your interest. Though probably aimed more for the Jr High and High School ages, it is still enjoyable for this grammy. The book was very well edited. This can make or break a book for me. I would recommend this book to those interested in a glimpse into the lives of typical teens in today's world… (mehr)
