MY THOUGHTS.....

Bitter Betrayal is the perfect choice for someone looking for a quick read with an interesting plot. Luke Wilkins, his little boy Adam, and the Alaskan Environmental Research Team take readers on a trip of adventure and suspense, after a plane crash in Canada. There's a discovery of a Viking castle, secret messages on the walls of caves, and a special ring that someone is desperate to find and keep. There's also an intense rivalry between Luke and Chin Si Lee that isn't resolved when this story ends, so it's apparent that author Rebecca Hemlock plans more books for the future.

If you enjoy mystery, history, and a clean, fast read, you will like Bitter Betrayal. I am rating it 3.5 stars.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a favorable review.

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

More from Rebecca

This book was so much fun to write. There are so many places in this world that have been barely touched by man. I took an interest in Northern Canadian culture after watching a documentary about how the Vikings first settled there.

After reading through the different artifacts that have been found there, Bitter Betrayal was born. I knew this would make a tremendous mystery-suspense story. Whenever I start a Mystery Suspense book, I usually like to add a dash of romance with a historical twist.

Luke Wilkins is someone that most single dads can relate to. He has a difficult time trusting other people. Especially when it comes to his son, Adam. He must trust those around him if he’s going to stay alive.

Bitter Betrayal teeters on the concept of how far someone would go for what they want. If you love Clive Cussler as much as I do, then this Novella is for you.
