Excerpt from Blog This:

 

 

His gaze locked on hers. His eyes were so cold. A chill wind swept over her, but the branches on the trees didn’t move.

 

“Can I help you?” She clutched her gloved fingers to stop the trembling.

 

His eyes darkened. His lips stayed in a tight line.

 

“Did you, um, get lost?” Natasha forced an unsteady laugh and arched her eyebrows. “Easy to do in a town of less than three thousand people.” He didn’t crack a smile so she released her own, pointed toward the front yard, and stiffly recited driving directions. “Highway 89 is less than a mile east of here. The fastest route is to drive straight out of the neighborhood and then take two-hundred s-s…”

 

His right arm rose—a black pistol molded to his palm. Heart thudding, Natasha’s voice sputtered and died. She raised her hands and backed up a few steps. Her gaze darted to Jace and Lily.

 

“Mom!” Jace pulled Lily against his side.

 

Natasha felt colder than the snow clinging to her boots. The only lucid thought she had was the overwhelming need to protect Jace and Lily. I have to say something, do something. “Please, please don’t hurt us.”

 

The lines in his face hardened, anger seeping from his dark gaze. The hand holding the gun remained steady.

 

Natasha’s mind raced, trying to comprehend a man pointing a gun at her with Jace and Lily feet away. Was there any way to keep them safe?

 

“Look,” she began, her voice trembling on each word, “I-I’ve got some cash in the house. I can give you my credit card and the pin numbers for my debit card. The credit card has a hundred-thousand dollar limit.” It was a lie, but might buy her children’s safety.

 

He shook his head. “I’m not after your money.” His voice was barely above a rough whisper.

 

Then why are you here? She cast a nervous glance at her children. Jace clung to Lily, watching his mother bargain for their lives. What else could she do to protect them? Why was this guy pointing a gun at her?

 

Suddenly, the latest e-mail threats played through her mind.

 

Stop your blog or I will send someone to stop it.

 

Is any cause worth dying for?

 

The corner of the man’s lip quivered. His voice dropped. “I am sorry.”

 

Blinking to clear her vision, Natasha wondered if she’d heard him correctly. “Sorry?”

 

No. She shook her head. Oh, no. Realization came like a moldy dishrag snapped in her face. He was here to fulfill the threats. His apology. That brief flicker of regret in his eyes. This man had been sent by Matthew Chrysler to kill her.

 

“I’ll stop the blog.”

 

He shook his head once. “It’s too late.”

 

 

 My Review:
Blog This doesn’t mess around when it comes to the action from the get-go. I wasn’t quite expecting that, but what a way to start with a bang…literally! When single Mom, Natasha Senecot, is playing with her two children, her fun afternoon is interrupted by an assassin. With her strong views about violent video games on her blog, she has made a ruthless enemy of a video game maker tycoon. Now he wants Natasha stopped. You actually feel the same level of panic as Natasha does while she is being stalked in her own home by Alex, the assassin.There are so many creepy things that happen, that it’s better to read this book during the day than at night.

I could relate so well to the feelings of Natasha, as a mother who would do anything to protect her children. Poor Natasha is also dealing with her feelings for her handsome ex-husband and the rugged and charming detective investigating the case.

 Blog This is so suspenseful that you will be questioning every person who comes in contact with Natasha, except her kids and her father. You will go back and forth throughout the book until the end. This has to be one of my favorite books that Cami Checketts has ever written. You will want to put this one down on your to-read list today. 

 Go check out the great price on Blog This for your Kindle that you can get right now at Amazon.

 Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Have read all of Cami’s books but Blog This is on the top of my list. Read it twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. Just when you think you know what is going to happen you’re led into a different direction. Had a hard time putting the book down and was anxious to see how it was going to end.
