Daybreak by Vannetta Chapman

Good Day!  I hope everyone is enjoying their "vacation" at home.  Here are a couple of upcoming releases that I am looking forward to reading.  On a Coastal Breeze by Suzanne Woods Fisher releases May 5.  It is the second tale in Three Sisters Island series.  A Study in Murder by Callie Hutton is the debut of A Victorian Book Club Mystery series and will be out on May 12.  To Kill a Mocking Girl by Harper Kincaid is also out on May 12.  It is the start of A Book Binder Mystery series.  Is there an upcoming release you cannot wait to read?

Daybreak by Vannetta Chapman has Nora Brooks and Randall Goodwin of the Cyber Division Squad in Seattle, Washington.  Unfortunately, they are not there to enjoy the beautiful April weather or Pike Place Market.  Nora believes the murder of Miguel Garcia is linked to some suspicious activity.  Cruise ships by the dozens are docked in Seattle and have been for the last week.  Nora has Randall do a little online sleuthing while she tracks down some leads.  They soon find themselves on the trail of a criminal who has a deadly agenda.  Daybreak by Vannetta Chapman is the third novel in the Cyber Division series.  It can be read as a standalone, but I like how this series of books works together (a complete picture).   I dived into Daybreak and quickly finished it.   I like the strong characters in this story.  Nora is the serious one in the partnership and dedicated to her job.  Randall loves computer code, is a snappy dresser, and loves his work as well.  I enjoy Nora’s thoughts on Randall’s expensive wardrobe.  They add a lightness to the story.  Nora and Randall immediately dive into the investigation and follow the various leads.  I found the story to be fast paced and intense.  I found Daybreak to be well-written and engaging. The story was realistic and suspenseful.  I look forward to reading the next Cyber Division novel.   Daybreak is a dynamic story with cyber criminals, a smirking suspect, curious code, boat bedlam, and a mysterious murder.

Daybreak is out today and available from Amazon*.  The first two novels in the Cyber Division series are Fading into the Night and Midnight Strike.  Thank you for joining me today.  I will be back tomorrow with my review of Dead on the Vine by Elle Brooke White.  It is the debut of A Finn Family Farm Mystery series. I hope you have a pleasant day.  Take care, stay safe and Happy Reading!

Fading Into the Night by Vannetta Chapman

Welcome!  Vannetta Chapman is the author of thirty published books which includes Dead Wrong, The Amish Christmas Matchmaker, and Plain and Simple Miracles series.  Vannetta currently writes for Harper Collins Christian Publishing and Harlequin/Love Inspired.  She recently signed a contract with Harlequin/Love Inspired for six additional books.  Vannetta has a BA and MA in English Literature from University of Texas at Arlington.  She currently teaches English at Central Texas College as well as writes. Vannetta Chapman has a blog plus readers can find her on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.  

Fading into the Night by Vannetta Chapman has Nora Brooks heading off to Shipshewana, Indiana to thwart a cyber-attack by elusive Dash.  Nora has been chasing this terrorist for some time, but he always manages to disappear without a trace.  They were able to track him to the tourist town of Shipshewana where Nora encounters Benjamin Lapp.  Ben was surprised on his way to barn to find a woman all in black with a gun pointed at him.  Dash is a chameleon and a charming one at that, but he would have no clue how to milk a cow which eliminates Ben as the threat.  Nora was shot hunting for Dash, so Ben cleans up her wound while she explains her mission.  Ben wants to help stop the threat to his community and Nora could use the assistance.  They join forces to catch the elusive Dash and stop his threats once and for all.

Fading into the Night by Vannetta Chapman is the first book in the new Cyber Division series.  It first appeared in Summer of Suspense.  Fading into the Night is a short story at only fifty-five pages, but it is a captivating.  I was instantly drawn into this suspenseful book.  It is short but packed with action.  I liked Nora who is a strong female agent who does not let a bullet wound stop her from completing her mission.  Ben Lapp was the perfect counterpart for Nora.  Shipshewana was the ideal spot for Dash to pick because the area does not have camera and most of the community lives without electricity.  He can blend while he plots his latest attack.  I appreciated the epilogue which nicely completed the story.  Fading into the Night has suspense, mystery and action.  I enjoyed this riveting tale and cannot wait to read Midnight Strike. 

Fading into the Night is available through Amazon* (Amazon UK).  Midnight Strike is the second novel in the Cyber Division series and it releases on January 3.  I hope I have helped you to find a new book to read today.  Tomorrow I will return to feature Verse and Vengeance by Amanda Flower.  It is the fourth tale in A Magical Bookshop Mystery series.  I hope that you have an inspiring day.  Take care and Happy Reading!
