Inspiration Through Fiction:
This is a wonderful continuation of the life of Isa and Jacob! Worth the read for sure. Laurie is a creative author full of suspense and indirect reflections of the truths of God in her writings. – Amazon 5-star Review
“The Author has done it again. Do not start the book unless you have free time to finish. Another page turner. Another wonderful adventure and Isa continues to go to great lengths to solve another case. However we are never quite sure who is on the right side. Her usual sarcasm is still endearing and she shows so much heart and what is really important in this world. Love the way God’s word is weaved throughout. Cannot wait for her next adventure. I would like Isa and Awena to take on a case. What a hoot that would be.” – Amazon 5-star review
“I have not sat and read a book cover to cover in two days in 25 years. From the opening paragraph you get engaged in the character development and an immediate twist. Just when you begin to figure it out the author shifts from one twist in the plot to another. Good writing style, humor, a bit of sarcasm scattered with God’s truth all in one. Will be waiting anxiously for a possible sequel.” – Amazon 5-star review
What a great story. It hooked me fast and was a very fast read. I get distracted when a book takes to long to get into them. Not this one is was really good!! ❤️ I would definitely recommend this book if you love suspense.” – Amazon 5-star review
More Reviews for the Calculated Series:
“Isa is quirky, fallible and determined to fulfill her purpose against all odds and oddities she encounters on her wild ride into the underworld….a well crafted story, and a very enjoyable read… looking forward to the next wild ride with Isa!” – R. Schumacher
“An exciting read and page turner!” – Anne
“The author did a great job weaving a plot of corruption, drugs, faith, and romance. It was difficult to tell who were corrupt and who were playing both sides. The villain was also well crafted as a person who had ‘some’ humanity, though misguided. I had serious belly laughs when Isa tried to determine ‘what level of crazy’ Awena landed on. Overall very entertaining. Read this in one day and pretty much ignored everything else. Great work!” – Patricia
“Fans of Rachel Dekker are in for a treat with Calculated Risk. L.G. Westlake’s heart-pounding debut is a suspense ride you won’t soon forget!” – Lori Bates Wright, Author

“L.G.’s unique gift of creating fearless, compelling characters and weaving a suspenseful story escorts the reader on this thrill ride.” – C. B.
