About the Book Forged
Book: Forged
Author: Sara Davison
Genre: Action/Suspense
Release date: October 5, 2022
The one missing person he can’t find is the one who matters the most.
Private Investigator Jax Rodriguez has been searching for his brother, Diego, for twenty years. When he stumbles upon another lead, he makes an agonizing decision—he will follow this last trail until it grows cold, and then he will marry the woman he loves and abandon his quest once and for all.
Artist Mikayla Grant is terrified of losing another person close to her, but she has to let Jax go after his brother. Given the secrecy surrounding Diego’s disappearance, clearly, Jax is heading into danger. When all contact with him is abruptly cut off, can Mikayla trust that God’s promise to never leave or forsake Jax will be enough to bring him safely home, or does she need to take matters into her own hands?
As Jax attempts to survive the dangerous streets of Caracus, Venezuela and then face the myriad of unknown threats in the El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico, he is not the only one following his brother’s trail.
A ruthless drug lord bent on revenge is using all his resources to hunt them down. If they can’t stay one step ahead of their pursuer, then, like his brother, he and Mikayla could disappear and never be heard from again.

My Thoughts on Forged
I loved this book. I’ve actually been a massive fan of this series which I didn’t expect. It’s outside of what I normally read but it is so good! You’re going to love this series! What happens when you’re technically doing something bad but for good reasons? Can you still get into trouble? And how do you explain it?
If you’ve read my reviews you’re going to know I’m a huge advocate of reading a series in its entirety. So this is book four of this series and therefore I’m going to say read the whole series! But if you’re not so inclined this book can be read as a stand-alone book as well. However, I greatly advocate reading all four books. I mean, who doesn’t want to add four books to your TBR pile instead of just one! You won’t get a leaning tower of books if you only add one at a time.
Jax wants to find his brother. He finds missing persons all the time so why can’t he find his brother who went missing 20 years ago? Find yourself off on an adventure as you go along with Jax to track down his brother after he receives a mysterious postcard. Plus find out how Jax and Mikayla are doing and what’s going on in their lives.
This book is a solid Christian novel. You’re going to encounter God and faith throughout.

It’s never easy writing a book during a global pandemic. Writing one that is set in three different countries when travelling is either prohibited or, at best, extremely complicated, is an even greater challenge.
Thankfully, the digital world is still very much accessible.
Through the wonders of modern technology, while writing Forged I was able to travel virtually to two places I had never been—Caracas, Venezuela and the El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico. I did a search for “driving down the street in Caracas” and suddenly found myself behind the wheel of a car, experiencing the sights and sounds of that city. The only things missing were the feel of the warm breezes against my skin and the smells of the food trucks lining the sidewalk.
Which was unfortunate, since the research I did on Venezuelan food definitely had my mouth watering.
Next, I looked up “hiking in the El Yunque rainforest” and was able to share the experience of that lush, beautiful place with people who actually had their boots on the ground there. I could hear the singing of the tree frogs, or coqui, the soundtrack of Puerto Rican-Canadian private investigator Jax Rodriguez’s flight through the forest with a drug dealer in hot pursuit. I was treated to the sight and sound of La Mina Falls as well as the countless plants and trees growing there.
Virtual travelling might never offer the full experience that going somewhere in person can, but in times like these, I am thankful for those who have gone somewhere I would love to see and who were willing to offer me a glimpse into their experiences from the safety and comfort of my home.
Although, smelling one of the more than fifty kinds of orchids in the Puerto Rican rainforest or trying the cachapa Jax bought—pork, spices, and cheese wrapped in a corn pancake—from a street vendor in Caracas are now both high on my bucket list of things to do in person.
Hopefully someday.
Until then, I will continue to explore the planet through the eyes of others and at least attempt to capture the experience in my stories as effectively as they did through the lens of a camera.
