Review of The Lady with the Dark Hair by Erin Bartels

This is Erin's sixth book, and while it was a bit different than her previous ones, it did not disappoint! To begin, it has a soft spot in my heart as it's set in Lansing, Michigan and even mentions the name of the restaurant where my now husband and I went after we got engaged! Recognizing landmarks makes this book come to life even more than a regular fiction book. Erin did a great job toggling back and forth between two different time periods weaving the story across the years and countries to bring about a book that was intriguing and light, yet thoughtful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good book to settle in to on a rainy day.

Review of Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn

Blackburn has started a new series called Gossamer Falls and this is the first book in the series. This romantic suspense mystery brings the reader into the lives of Landry Hutton, resident artist at The Haven and Callum Shaw, former Marine and local architect. Blackburn spins a tale of these two needing to depend on each other to keep Landry alive. With thrilling suspense around every corner, the reader is thrust in to a mystery that keeps you guessing throughout the book until the very end. With sweet, tender moments as well as tense, can't-turn-the-pages-fast-enough moments, this novel comes together as a great read that any suspense mystery reader will enjoy.

Review of Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley

Bradley has written yet another mystery suspense that keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages until the very end. With a unique plot, characters who were well developed and twists and turns along the way, Bradley did an outstanding job with this book. This storyline had a splash of romance that wasn’t overly heavy mixed with some crime and mystery. Bradley also did a great job weaving in God throughout the story as well that left a good overarching balance of story. This is the 2nd book in the Pearl River Series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Review of Shadows at Dusk by Elizabeth Goddard

Shadows at Dusk is the second book in the Missing In Alaska series. Goddard spins a story that keeps the reader engaged and flipping the pages right up to the end! If you read her first book in this series, you won't be disappointed in the second book! This suspense mystery is very well written and there's not a dull moment throughout the story. Even though it's the 2nd book in a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel as well as the main character is in the first book, but as a very minor character. You'll enjoy this book in to the wee hours of the morning until you turn that last page!

On Moonberry Lake by Holly Varni

This is the first book I've read by Holly Varni and what a sweet book it was! The whole book took on the pace of the little town it was set in. Holly did a great job transforming an eclectic community in to a family. The story moved along like the waves lapping the shore in a steady rhythm that kept the reader engaged. With bits of humor and a touch of romance, the reader is taken on a journey of what family can look like when someone with deep hurt lets people in. I look forward to reading the 2nd book by Vanri!

Review of He Should Have Told The Bees by Amanda Cox

Amanda did yet another fantastic job creating a story which flows smoothly and tells a sweet narrative following two young women from opposite upbringings. Not a fast paced moving novel but a story to read curled up in a chair that just brings comfort and contentment while turning the pages. Even woven with sorrow, this novel has just the right amount of humor, and a splash of tension that keeps the reader moving along to the end. If you are looking for a book to read while relaxing, this one would be a great choice!

Review of The All American by Susie Finkbeiner

This is one of those books that you just can't put down. Not mysterious. Not suspenseful. Solid. Real. Emotional. A book that is worth reading until the very last page. Soaking in each chapter. Walking alongside two sisters and how life in their family affects each of them. Finkbeiner hits it out of the park again with a gripping story where you feel all the feels. If you think it's only about women's baseball, think again. It's about so much more than that.
