Winter Reads: Always Watching by Lynette Eason

Revell; 336 pages; $14.99; Amazon

While I'm sure many people's New Year's resolution is to lose weigh; however, my only resolution is too quit procrastinating; which basically means I need to get caught up on my reviews on this blog. I have two piles of books that need to be reviewed. Many of the titles were read last year, but I never got around to writing the actual review. Well, this needs to stop. I am determined to get these books read (or reread), reviewed, and published on this blog.

Up first on my list is the Christian thriller Always Watching, book one in the Elite Guardians series, by author Lynette Eason. I'm not for sure if I've read any of her other titles before, but I have read so many books, so maybe I have just forgot it.

Anyhow, you can probably guess by the cover art that this is a action-thriller. The plot involves a bodyguard company called Elite Guardians Agency, which is owned by Olivia Edwards, that is assigned to protect a radio shrink, Wade Savage, who is being stalked.

Final Thoughts: Written in short chapters, Always Watching is fast-paced thriller. I was glued to the story from the get-go. The characters are well-written, and the relationship between Wade and Olivia seemed believable. The only negative aspects I found in the novel is the lack of descriptions; I felt there were scenes that could have been more detailed. Nevertheless, in the end, I though the novel was a decent read; playing out more like a made-for-television movie than an actual book.
