Okay this is the second O'Malley book. Marcus, the sibling that is the main character of this book, is my favorite of the O'Malley brothers. He is that strong male character that we all wish was a brother of ours! The suspense, drama, and romance of book one are again shown in this book. One thing I think I forgot to mention about this series is as you go through them you learn about their pasts and how each child ended up at the group home. You can see the patterns that made them who they ...more

I'm really liking this series. The author either knows a lot about some interesting careers, she does a lot of research in order to write these books, or she know just enough to make it all sound believable. I appreciate being able to read a clean book with romance but not sex. The characters so far have been interesting and enjoyable to read about and I like how this series is connected with the rest.

I read this series because it was by a Christian author, and I figured I'd had enough of the books with questionable themes in them. I just wanted some good-fluff type reading last summer, and decided that this was a fabulous way to get that. I ended up really enjoying the series and getting more books by the same author, though I think this series was her best yet.

Christians
In book one of the series, the religion was held off until near the end. In this follow-up, Jesus makes his literary appearance in the first chapter. The story is reasonably good, but if I want to read about Jesus, I'll pick up the New Testament.
(upon completion) As expected. Predictable story, decent action, and lots and lots of Jesus.

Volume 2 in the O'Malley Series
U.S. Marshall Marcus O'Malley has a case to solve, an assasin to stop, and a beautiful witness to protect. He thought he knew all the risks of his assignment--until he fell in love. Now he's come face-to-face with his past. Will he learn to trust God again?

I love all of these books! There are seven or eight books in this series and I never get tired of reading them! Dee Henderson is a very talented writer and keeps you on the edge of your seat. All of her books have unique plots, and characters...I can't think of anything else to say.

A political speech writer is a witness to the shooting of a judge. She is put in protective custody and of course the adventure begins. While not a lot, there is enjoyable humor here. I also appreciate that this author is not afraid to have both men and women be strong.

If you like high suspense, this whole series is it! Each book covers another sibling in the family and the title has something to do with what they do in live. Though a christian author she is not "in your face" with it. I couldn't put these down until they were all finished!

I can't put these books down. It's a 'Christian action' book (for want of better label), and admittedly there's not much depth in it, but it's a good page-turner, and sometimes that's enough for me :)

I think this was the other book I read in the O'Malley series. I am just going to have to read them all from the beginning. It's been long enough, where I'll still be surprised by the ending.

Anyone who loves mystery, suspense, and good christian romance.
This book was very suspensful. I loved it! This book really taught me how to trust God and let Him be in control of my life. I need to remember to pray and let God answer it in his perfect way.

This was the second book inthe O'Malley series and IMHO this isn't as good as Danger in the Shadows or The Negotiator, but still good enough to keep your attention ;)

I started out thinking this series was just ok. After reading this book, I am completely linked to it! I can't wait to see what happens to the other O'Malleys.

I love how each of the characters in the O'Malley family is individual strong but still incomplete without the rest of the family. This book did not disappoint me.

This series was good, but very unrealistic at times which bothers me some, a good read though! I truly fell in love with the characters.

This was really cool because it was different from the first one is the respect that it was written from a male's point of view.
