The Accidental Spy by David Gardner Blog Tour/Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

Harvey Hudson finds himself unemployed due to the college he taught at closing. As luck would have it, one day he bumped into a long-ago girlfriend of his who co-owned her own company. She hired him to be a technical writer, but what did Harvey know about being a technical writer? Nothing. He knew it was a pity hire, but he took the job anyway. He also found himself delivering candy and balloons until his a-ha moment and sent an order of balloons into the sky. Then, he goes on to pizza delivery, which, he discovered, wasn’t all bad … and it gave him time to think about his What-Ifs. Harvey is also an aspiring author.

Harvey decided to answer a random email one day … since he knew squat about technical writing he decided why not? And … he outsourced his job. Enter Amaya, the lady on the other end of the email. Enter a random happenstance involving the FBI. Enter some really burly dudes … Igor, Boris, and the like. Enter a world Harvey knew nothing about, thus the title “Accidental Spy.” Harvey definitely goes on some adventures through this tale … adventures he never thought a random fellow like himself would be involved in. There is also a bit of romance … some unresolved feelings from years past.

I have to say that I was quite entertained by some of the antics portrayed in this tale. If you’re looking for a light read about an average guy going about his business and stumbling across a world he was less than qualified to be involved in, give this one a read. I’m sure you’ll find yourself chuckling and shaking your head just a bit.

What Meets The Eye by Alex Kenna Blog Tour/Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

Being an avid reader, I enjoy discovering new authors, debut authors, and Ms. Kenna is no exception. If this is only Ms. Kenna’s first/debut novel, I can only imagine what she’ll bring us in the future. If you’re looking for another go-to author to add to your ever-growing list, you may want to give Ms. Kenna a spot.

In What Meets the Eye, Ms. Kenna has created a character by the name of Kate Myles. Kate used to be a police officer and ended up going down another path, that of being a PI. She’s helped solve a few cases, but in What Meets the Eye she is hired by the father of Margot, an artist by trade, whose case the police believed was open and shut. Not so her father. Enter the conflict Kate has with her ex-husband, John, who also used to be a lawyer. John has some harsh feelings toward Kate, especially when it comes to their daughter, Amelia.

The case of Margot leads Kate down some very dangerous paths, but she also reconnects with a former LAPD officer, namely Luke. Against Luke’s better judgment, who also has a story of his own to tell, he decides to give Kate the benefit of the doubt and help her out. There are also numerous other shady characters that we are introduced who help shape this tale of whodunnit. There are avenues that Kate takes that don’t work out and lead her down to a path of destruction until her a-ha moment and she decides to go in another direction.

Again, if you’re looking for a debut/new author, Ms. Kenna is going to be one to follow. It will be interesting to see what she brings us next.
