Rescuing Casey by Susan Stoker
4.0
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Casey Shea has taken some of her students on a research trip. Troy “Beatle” Lennon is on a mission where his best needs to be good enough. I have two words for you, “grown men”. Casey had me laughing and shaking my head. Sh…don’t tell anyone but I would feel the same. Because of Casey’s profession this author must have a love or has done a fair amount of research. I’ve always heard that a good comedian has perfect timing.
Our author has perfect timing. She knows exactly when to have us on the edge of our seats and she knows exactly the right time to get us to laugh. She may write about a serious subject but even the characters need a chance to laugh in order to let go of some of the tension that may be building. What’s also nice is that she interweaves updates on some of her characters – they are a team after all.
One character I loved getting reacquainted with is Annie. If you didn’t read her story, oh excuse me, her mom’s story you’ll soon realize what a gem and scene-stealer she still is. She doesn’t say an awful lot but she’s a whirlwind that you need to acquaint yourself with. This is a group that cares deeply about every member and that includes extended family. As Casey and Beatle’s story starts to wind down, the author seems to have the time to interweave in one more story. Her ending made me very happy because she gives us a very pleasant surprise.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
