Series: Elite Guardians #2

Author: Lynette Eason

Genre: Suspense, Christian Fiction, Romance

Publisher: Revell

Source: Library

My review:

The second in the Elite Guardian series, Without Warning, focuses on Katie, one of the bodyguards. The books in this series could be read as stand-alone novels, but I recommend reading them in order since all four of bodyguards appear in each book.

My review:

Hi. It's me again, Cindy. Coming to you with a book that I have no idea how to review. 

I have found that Katie Powner's books have emotional depth, the "wow" factor, and they tend to stick with you long after you read them. I loved Where the Blue Sky Begins

Can't Wait Wednesday-Where the Blue Sky Begins

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Where the Blue Sky Begins by Katie Powner. I read A Flicker of Light by her last year and it blew me out of the water, so I can't wait to read this one!!! It comes out October 11, 2022.
