The O'Malley series - by Dee Henderson - 10 star

The O'Malley series is a fantastic series written about a "family" who met in an orphanage and "adpoted" each other, legally changing their last names to "O'Malley". Because of their diverse but tragic backgrounds, they all have chosen diverse careers that define them, yet mostly allow them to stay in touch and often work together. There's Kate O'Malley - hostage negotiater, Jennifer O'Malley - a pediatrician, Rachel O'Malley - a crisis psychologist, Stephen O'Malley - a paramedic, Lisa O'Malley - a forensic pathologist, Marcus O'Malley - a US Marshal, and Jack O'Malley - a firefighter.

The stories follow the individual O'Malleys in their career, in their relationships and on their road to finding Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Dee Henderson blends faith, family and excitement so beautifully in this series. She has created strong characters with individual personalities and each has a unique reason why accepting Christ is so difficult for them.

When you read this series, be sure you start with the prequel: "Danger in the Shadows" which doesn't deal with the O'Malleys so much, but with individuals who will soon be important in the O'Malley series.

This is one of my favorite series'! Definitely a 10 star. **********

Introduction

Hello. My name is Tina and I'm a bookaholic. I LOVE books! And I've decided to share my thoughts on some of the books here. If you don't like what I say, that's fine! You don't have to read this blog. If you do like what I say, that's better ;-)

In some cases (like my first book review here) I'll review an entire series instead of a single book in it. The books in a series are so often tied together that to review a single book is nearly impossible. It will be obvious whether I'm reviewing a single book or a series.
