Thomas Nelson (May 10, 2011) Elliot has penned an entrancing first novel that draws readers into the lives of characters they are hesitant to part with as the last page is closed. The language and writing describes events and emotions so that I have experienced them as if I were the one in the story [...]

Thomas Nelson (Jun 14, 2011) While I am fascinated with different takes on the story of Esther and as such was excited about this book I also wondered whether it would be another of the “same” books with a different name because so many books based on this Biblical narrative have been published in recent [...]

Thomas Nelson (Jun 14, 2011) Richmond has presented readers with a historical saga reminiscent of Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie with a more mature tone to it. Before I find you all knocking down my email with protests, mature, is used in this case to indicate a book that adults will enjoy for its [...]

Thomas Nelson (May 31, 2011) Though I’m still about 80 pages from the end, I often write reviews from the first two-thirds or so of a book which makes it easier to avoid giving away important pieces of the story like twists near the end that affect the conclusion and of course the ending itself. [...]

Thomas Nelson (April 19, 2011) After reading The Lightkeeper’s Daughter I was in love with both the residents of Mercy Falls and the town itself (for the most part anyway). Coble’s villains in all three books did their job well and the red herrings planted along the way were so enticing and believable that I [...]

Thomas Nelson (March 16, 2010) I love a great nail-biting mystery every now and then, however being a bit squeamish I prefer the details to be selective and set the tone and atmosphere of the plot rather than irrelevant gore and such. Though this is my first book by Giorello, she has garnered a devoted [...]

The couple who took her in raised her as their own though her adoptive mother lacked the love her father lavished onto [...]
