Author Review : Dani Petry Chesapeake Valor 4 Book Series


Up all Night Fiction by Dani Pettry  

Chesapeake Valor is a 4 part series by award-winning Dani Pettry.

Still Shot  is the first one I read of the series and can be read as a stand-alone story (but why would you not read the others? I mean it is Dani Pettry. Suspense is what she does best)  Especially since it was such a great book I needed to see more of what was going so I went back to read the rest of the series, Blind Spot,  Dead Drift and Cold Shot (which is the first).
“In college, Griffin McCray and his three best friends had their lives planned out. Griffin and Luke Gallagher would join the Baltimore PD. Declan Gray would head to the FBI and Parker Mitchell would go on to graduate school as a crime scene analyst. But then Luke vanished before graduation and their world--and friendships--crumbled.” (Description from Amazon)

One of my favorite things about the books is they are a team   A terrorist attack is coming and each person is using their gifts to solve the plot and save the world from terrorists . Another thing really makes the books over the top Is that the book is written from more than one point of view. You get to hear the reasoning behind the good, the bad, and the ugly. Secrets are revealed and relationships are restored.

Each book in the series focuses on one of the friends. The storytelling is fabulous and there is great attention to detail from the science of crime scene investigation to the protocols.  The details to gun descriptions are spot on, as well as the processes of photography of the crime scenes.

The women in the book are strong and struggle with letting the men trying to protect them from the the terroist  plot to destroy our country I love how the struggles of our relationship with Christ are explored and dealt with, leaving you with a bigger understanding of who God is.  I love the zeal the characters have for God, even after experiencing some terrible things. Zeal for God is what Dani’s books are all about. The zeal for truth found in Jesus.

Did the bad guy get away? Are they going to find the bomb in time? Who is going to get shot next? Each time a new one comes out I reread the others first to make sure I remember all the character development.  I see something new to love every time.

I received these books complimentary from the publisher in return for my honest review. I love them so much I bought all four. Dani calls her books “up all night” and this is spot on as well because once you get started you stay up all night to read them. I mean what else are you going to do?  You opened it, right? It is like turning the movie off in the middle if you have to sleep.
