Special FBI agent Samantha ‘Sam’ Wright had barely processed the sudden death of her revered mentor, Dr. Sampson, when she learned that she was inheriting the case he had been working on. Dr. Sampson’s case, dubbed The Reservations Case, involved a perpetrator who tortured and murdered victims of Native American descent, specifically targeting boys aged twelve from the native American reservations across the southwest. The existing leads hinted that the perpetrator had a pattern of striking, and it was clear he was about to strike again. Still grieving, Sam and her team fly to Ashland, Montana, to piece together clues from the latest crime scene and prevent yet another looming disaster in waiting. As ex-marine Will Little Bear, now a native tracker, joins the FBI in the investigation, he instantly falls head over heels for Sam. And so does Sam for him. Bound for an operation that might get both of them killed, will they survive to explore their love? Find out in Theresa Janson’s Reservations: A Samantha Wright Crime Series.

Lovers of mystery sleuth and murder novels blended with romantic intrigue, adventure, suspense, and thrill will find Theresa Janson’s Reservations an enthralling read. Using a first-person perspective voice and introspective commentary, Janson unfolds the storyline with evocative depictions. The emotional depth of the storyline gave the prose an intimate touch. It felt like I was in every scene next to the dynamic cast, experiencing every moment. I could feel the electric sparks and adrenaline rush that comes with the magic of new love. I found myself caught in a storm of rescue operations, gunfights, drama, betrayal, healing, vengeance, and more. Janson juxtaposes the cast’s complex traits, anchoring the story in reality. The conversations were raw and unfiltered, constantly shifting from playful to urgent and tense. This is the type of story that reminds you of the beauty and power of true love. It makes you want to experience it.

Dr. Sampson of the FBI died while presiding over the Reservations Case. His heartbroken protégée, Special Agent Samantha Wright, took over the case to make her mentor proud. There were serial killings of boys around their twelfth birthdays on Indian reservations in the US. Following investigations, the next victims were at the Cheyenne Reservation, around Ashland. Samantha and her part-time lover and boss, Agent Charlie, set off for Montana to save the boys. But there, the dynamics changed as an emotional triangle formed in the heat of planning. The local guide and owner of their lodge, Will, fell for Samantha at first sight. Will Charlie concede the loss of Sam on another man’s turf? Will personal issues impede their collective goal? Reservations by Theresa Janson holds the juicy details.

Reservations by Theresa Janson is the perfect novel for anyone who loves a blend of murder, romance, and spirituality. This book was fast-paced, had a megaton of action, and had heavy sprinkles of humor. I loved the storyline, plot, and character development, for they had depth and evoked emotions in me. Reservations was unpredictable because I never saw Michelle coming. I also couldn’t fathom how premeditated persons could be to live without fingerprints and erase their existence. Charlie’s concept of love was another thing that I couldn’t understand. However, I so loved Sam, her mental and physical strength, heart, and essence. She was a heroine, and Will was all man! The duo showed that honest communication and trust are essential. Lastly, Dr. Sampson was always right about looking up. What is the deal with Scotty and Charlie? I want more, Theresa!
