Silent Pledge (Er Trilogy)

Rating:
Summary: Like ER, but from a Christian perspective!
Review: I read a lot of Christian books, but most of them are non-fiction. I'm very selective about the fiction I read - there's just not enough time to read all the good stuff out there! I used to enjoy reading Robin Cook's medical suspense books, so I was glad to see this series of three medical/suspense Christian novels.

This is the third of a series - the first two are Sacred Trust and Solemn Oath. Reading them in order is highly recommended!
This wonderful series is centered around a small-town hospital emergency room in Missouri.

The medical parts ring true for a good reason - Hannah Alexander is a pen name for a husband/wife writing team and the husband is an ER physician! These books will appeal to both men and women, and contain suspense, drama, a little romance and a lot of inspiration. I became very attached to the characters of Lukas, Mercy, Clarence, Ivy, and many more. The story also paints a wonderful picture of God's forgiveness and grace in the character of Theodore and others' responses to him.

The only downside to these books is that there are only 3 of them and I've read them all!

Happy reading!

Summary: Likeable characters, well written ....
Review: This book was very enjoyable in that it held my attention and was quite suspenseful. Also, as a nurse with experience in the ER, I have to attest to the authenticity of this writer's work -- yes it really is like that in the ER. This was also very well written and you could picture the characters in your mind, almost as though they were friends you've known all your life. So why just 4 stars? Almost every page has the characters praying. Some of us, including me, do pray often through the day, but to be honest -- I want to escape through reading. All the praying became a bit too much and the end result was a turn off.

Summary: Silent Pledge
Review: This is the third novel in an exciting hospital drama series. The beauty of Silent Pledge, and the others in the series, is that it follows numerous characters in the Knolls, Missouri community, making you feel as though you are actually apart of the town! The novel offers drama, excitement, and comedy. I found myself worrying throughout the day about what was going to happen next, and rushing home so that I could see what happened! If you love reading Christian books, and are looking for something exciting and fun, I would totally recommend Silent Pledge!!
