The house on Foster hill


Jaime Jo Wright is a new author to me, and while I love a good suspense book, murder mystery types usually leave me a bit bored and Unentertained. However I was very pleasantly surprised to find myself immensely enjoying this book! It was so well written and well thought out! In my reading experience Christian mysteries tend to be fairly subdued and tedious, but this book has me struggling to stop reading, I was absolutely captivated until the very end! I will absolutely be looking for more from this author!!
Struggling to get past the unexpected death of her husband Kaine decides she needs a new start in a new place and chooses to buy a home in same town that her grandfather resided in. As she arrives and finds the home (that she purchased sight unseen!) in disrepair and dishevellment she questions the choices she’s made in moving, and as she learns about the house’s past she begins to find herself in a state of danger as well. 
This book was an absolute page turner, I would definitely recommend it!!

A dangerous legacy





I’ve read a number of Elizabeth Camden’s books and immensely enjoyed them so I was thrilled to be able to review “A dangerous legacy” I knew a great read would be coming my way!!
And true to form Camden wrote an intelligent and strong book with a formidable female character that not only showed tenacity but also grace. I love reading about strong women and found this book to be a really fantastic read!
Lucy Drake is a valuable asset to the associated press news agency with her strong skills and talents in Morse code, along with working a job she loves she is also facing immense struggles and troubles with her familial situation. Fighting in court against some scrupulously dishonest  and dangerous relatives while at the same time developing a friendship with her biggest rival in the news business we are whipped through a story of suspense, danger, and through it all faith and grace.
I truly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!!

Where we belong



I absolutely loved this book, I found the characters extremely easy to relate to, I enjoyed their adventures and witty antics, and in all, struggled to put this book down! I enjoyed it so much that I was sad to have finished it, I wish the story could have kept going on!!
In “Where we belong” we meet Flora and Rebecca, sisters who both have a strong moral compass and sense of adventure! As they struggle to figure out where God would lead them with both their blessings and their talents, we the readers are treated to witty banter and a slew of knowledge! I loved reading of both their willingness to seek out God, and right the wrongs of their city. I loves the format of the book that we got to experience the story through every characters eyes, it really made for a well rounded story!!

I loved and would highly recommend this book!

A Plain Leaving



It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Amish fiction, I love reading the differences and similarities that these women have compared to my life! And since I’ve read a few of Leslie Gould’s books and loved them, I knew I would be enjoying this book as well!!
In “a plain leaving” we meet Jessica Bachmann, after having faced struggles and opposition from both her bishop and family Jessica makes the choice to leave for the English world. While living away, Jessic finds out that her father has died, as she heads home to bury him, she also walks head on into both heartache and hope. As  she learns about her history and the struggles of her ancestors, she starts to find the answers to her own struggles.

I really enjoyed this book, it was well written and easy to read, there was a great flow to it that really kept me hooked throughout the entire story!!
