That’s it for announcements. Let’s jump into this week’s book discussion. We had a few technical difficulties when we recorded the episodes for this series, so please excuse any audio blips. Enjoy our discussion of Necessary Peril by Lynn Shannon.

Episode Notes

In this episode Jessica, Jamie, Tiffanie, and Melissa discuss Necessary Peril by Lynn Shannon. This is the third book in her Triumph Over Adversity series and is a contemporary Christian suspense romance story.

A verse that is highlighted in this story is Joshua 1:9. Given the miracles and devastation surrounding hurricane Helene it is such a sweet reminder that God is with us always.

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We gave the following ratings to each of the story elements listed below.

(Espresso = an expression, Mocha = Medium amount, Latte = A lot)

Mystery – Mocha/Latte

Drama – Latte

Suspense - Latte

Romance – Espresso

Inspiration – Mocha/Latte

This whole series is a must read and we know you will be hooked and hog-tied which is why LiteraryScape gave Necessary Peril by Lynn Shannon 2.75 lassos! The just under 3 lassos comes from Tiffanie’s rating. She is not a fan of suspense but agreed that Lynn wrote the book so well she couldn’t put it down.

(1 lasso – throw and a miss, 2 lassos – hooked, 3 lassos – hooked and hog tied)
