CFBA Review ~ Sworn To Protect

This week, the

Christian Fiction Blog Alliance

is introducing

Sworn To Protect
Tyndale House (April 2010)

by
DiAnn Mills

My Thoughts:
I have read several of DiAnn Mills' books and I've really enjoyed them all. Sworn To Protect was no exception. It's one of those books that lets you piece together little bits of information that not all of the characters know. So I found myself trying to piece everything together while staying a step ahead of all the characters. That definitely adds to the thrill of any book.

Also, I appreciated the border patrol and immigration story lines. Sad to admit, but I am largely ignorant of what the border patrol faces on a day-to-day basis and this was a great look inside.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

ABOUT THE BOOK
Border Patrol Agent Danika Morales sends illegal immigrants back to Mexico; a job she's paid dearly for. Her husband, Toby, was murdered two years ago trying to help and his murder's never been solved. Now a string of attacks and arrests leads her to believe that someone from McAllen profits from sneaking undocumented immigrants into the country and somehow this illegal activity is tied to her husband, Toby's death.

A Grammatical Disclaimer

I freely admit to consistently using improper grammar in the following areas:
1. I like run-on sentences.
2. I have a tendency to end sentences with a pronoun. (I really do. I can't help it.)
3. I always seem to use passive voice in my sentences. (See?)

I've been trying to break this habit, unsuccessfully, for years, so now I just accept that as my writing style, and since I'm not writing for grades anymore, I embrace it. (Again, see?)

Hence, I invoke Blogger Artistic License for this blog!
