For a girl who has complained WAY more than she should have about the "burdens" brought on by beautiful luxuries lately, this post was both a needed reminder and a HUGE conviction.

So what are your thoughts on this topic? Do you want to inherit the stuff from your parents or grandparents? Or are you so over stuff?

One of my friends sent me this blog this week. And since I know some of you love finding new blogs as much as I do, I have to share it. The blog began as a way for this couple to share their home renovation projects {which is a really cool story in and of itself} but less than a month ago, the husband was in a motorcycle accident and now the blog is about their journey to healing. Read it, people.

It's been a while since I did a capsule wardrobe post, but for those of you who might still be working your way that direction and are still in need of guidance, this is a great post that has not only good principles in it, but also some printables that can help you plan a bit more constructively!

Last fall, I read the first novel in the Nikki Boyd Files: Vendetta by Lisa Harris. {My review on that book is here.} I read the book in one night flat and forgot to breathe for most of that night. So when I saw that book two, Missing, had been released, I had to read it. And in similar fashion, I wiped it out in one day - finishing it on my Fourth of July date with Ryan {while we waited for fireworks to begin. I paid attention for dinner and our car ride!}. Lisa has done it again. Suspenseful, heart-stopping, touches of romance - everything that makes for the perfect book you can't put down.

This book picks up just over a month after book one ended. Nikki Boyd, a member of the Tennessee Missing Persons Special Task Force is back at work after nearly dying in a hostage situation just five weeks prior. She's been called in on a new assignment: to find a missing couple, Mac and Lucy Hudson. By all appearances, Mac and Lucy are a perfect couple living a perfect life, but they wind up missing and two alleged intruders are dead in their home.

Nikki is shocked when the first clue in the case leads her straight to a boat owned by her friend Tyler, and she finds him standing over a third body. Tyler's late wife was Nikki's best friend, and she knows Tyler cannot possibly be involved in this mess. But the question is - who is involved and how does Tyler fit into the equation?

Nikki and her team stumble through a maze of clues that leads them further into a world of deception, lying, counterfeit drugs, and a mysterious killer who seems all too willing to remove anyone who gets in the way of his {or her?} mission. Nikki wants to get to the bottom of the reason for the madness, but more than that, she wants to bring the missing home before it's too late.

And in the middle of it all, she tries in vain to tell herself she cannot be in love with Tyler. He's just a friend. Just a friend. But then her heart skips a beat and she has to start all over again.

As with the first book, I loved that this novel kept up a suspenseful pace and storyline that would rival any TV show you could want to see, but it brought in a faith element, and kept out unnecessary garbage. So looking forward to book number three!

Thanks, Lisa, for writing great suspense fiction, and thank you, Revell, for sending a copy my way in exchange for an honest review!
