Escape. Murder. Secrets.

Scientist Luke Wilkins has always been one step ahead of Lee, his longtime rival. Luke and his best friend Josh start off on an expedition to Nunavut’s territory for an environmental study. All seems well until their plane crashes in the middle of nowhere. As Luke regains consciousness, he discovers that he’s being held prisoner by Lee and his men.

Luke has something that Lee wants. A ring that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries and Lee will do whatever it takes to get it. Luke fears that he will never see his family or friends again unless he hands it over.

Lee will stop at nothing until the ring is his, but would he go as far as murder?

My Thoughts:

Bitter Betrayal takes the reader on an adventure throughout the homelands of the Vikings.  Luke Wilkins is a scientist who loves history, especially Viking history. He comes to have a special Viking ring in his possession that causes him a great deal of concern and problems. He and his team, including his little boy, are just trying to find history and truth along with the legends surrounding this ring.

Unfortunately, he is impeded at every turn by his worst enemy and his henchmen. I say henchmen because they really were the classic bad guys out to get Luke and his team, solely it seems, due to Lee's hatred of Luke.

This is a novella split into two parts in this collection, and it does leave off on a cliff hanger. I am intrigued by this mystery, especially the ancient Viking part. This was an interesting tale and my interest is piqued for the next installment. I just hope Luke and his team can get ahead of those trying to stop them no matter the cost.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

About the Author

 

Rebecca Hemlock has written stories her entire life. She always knew she wanted to be a writer. That dream became a reality for her in 2016 when she landed her first job writing for her local newspaper. That same year, she was able to publish a children’s book under the pen name R.C. Burch.  With a little help from some wonderful people, Rebecca  was able to move forward in her writing career.

Rebecca published two more children’s books the following year, but children’s fiction was only the beginning. She self-published a novella in 2019, titled Bitter Betrayal, Arctic mysteries,  and completed her first novel in 2020. When she is not writing, Rebecca enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with family.

Aside from being a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, she is also a member of Sister in Crime. Rebecca has a degree in English and a certificate in Creative Writing and is also pursuing a degree in Creative Writing.

 

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.
