Luke Chase is a modern day hero who managed to escape when he was
held hostage by utilizing several survival tactics. When he was sent to
St. Benedict's prep school, he was hoping to leave that all behind him
and have a normal life, including hooking up with hot girls. He,
however, didn't expect to get caught up in a murder investigation
especially when his roommate is accused of murder. Luke will have to
use his famous survival skills to outwit the murderer and bring him/her
to justice. Who is behind the murder? Why would they try to kill someone
from the school? Is someone from Luke's past trying to hurt him?
At
first, I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I must
say, I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed this book. The
plot was perfect and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time
along with being surprised by the ending. I liked how well developed the
characters were even though I felt some of the characters were a bit
too trusting. If I was in Luke's position, I would consider everyone a
murderer and stay very far from them! I definitely can't wait to read
more books from these amazing series!

Could you sleep
next to a murderer?
Luke Chase—yes, that Luke Chase, a modern hero ripped from the headlines—didn’t mean to get caught up in Mrs. Heckler’s murder. He just wanted to hook up with the hot new British girl at St. Benedict’s, and if that meant sneaking out to the woods after hours, then so be it. But little did he know someone would end up dead right next to their rendezvous spot, and his best friend and roommate Oscar Weymouth would go down for it. With suspects aplenty and a past that’s anything but innocent, Luke Chase reluctantly calls on his famous survival skills to find the true killer.
For fans of “A Study in Charlotte” and boarding school lit, “Sneaking Out” (book one in the “Chased” series) immerses readers in the privileged prep school world, with a mystery that exposes the dark side of life on a residential high school campus.

Book Review - A Flute in the Willows by Carole Brown
 |
| Photo Credit - Amazon |
Jerry Patterson has a mission to protect his country regardless of what he has to do. When task to infiltrate a high ranking German household by wooing the sister, it seemed like a piece of cake. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem for Jerry but being that he's married and madly in love with his wife, it poses a few guilt fueled problems for him. However, after completing his mission he is injured and fears that his wife deserves someone who isn't "broken". While trying to acclimate to being back home, he notices someone from his mission who has a malicious grudge against him following his family. Why is this person after Jerry? Will Jerry be able to work on his marriage with Josie?
I enjoyed the first half of the novel but towards the middle of the novel, I felt that the story dragged on. I wasn't sure why someone who is plotting revenge against someone was taking so long to do so, especially since his hatred seemed so deep seeded. There were a few parts of the story that felt convoluted and out of place. For example, one character was told a secret in front of two characters who wanted to hurt the first character but it didn't make sense why they would do it that way since it seemed very childish and gimmicky. It was an interesting story line which was a bit slow moving but I would read future works by the author.
