Review: A New Genre Has Been Created! (and with it a fun read)

Traci Tyne Hilton has done something unusual and quite interesting with her novel Eminent Domain: she's combined real estate with mystery. I don't know if this genre exists, (real-estate mystery) but if not, Ms. Tyne Hilton has created it. As a person who is interested in historic homes, renovation and city planning, I was particularly drawn in. But when the novel exploded into an action packed thriller, I was even further rewarded. The author really knows how to draw a character and paint a description. She writes with ease and humor and throws just a little bit of Christian ethic into the romance aspect of the book, staying away from the urge to go sexy. The romance is sweet never-the-less, and adds plenty of extra interest. Finally, as the story takes place in Portland, Oregon, I enjoyed it even more so, because, though I'm not from Portland, I love the city, and enjoyed traveling the streets and visiting the neighborhoods and local spots by proxy. Well done!
