Ransomed-Cover-JPEG-with-eyes-and-final-blurb-225x300

I was recently contacted by a friend on Facebook who is an author. She asked me if I was interested in reading and reviewing her newest book “Ransomed”.  Because I had already read “Forsaken” also written by her, I quickly responded that I would love to review “Ransomed” for her. I must admit I stayed up a bit late twice while reading Ransomed. While the writing voice is the same as in Forsaken, the story lines couldn’t be more different. [...]

Casa de Naomi book 2

casa de naomi

Some time last year I had the privilege of “meeting” a wonderful author (Paula) and reviewing her book Casa de Naomi. You can read that review here. So, imagine how thrilled I was when she contacted me a month ago and asked if I would be willing to review a second book in the Casa de Naomi series! In the last book, Naomi has kept hidden her true heritage. She is a Jew, and because of persecution in Spain (Spanish [...]

Catching Raindrops, by Crystal Hoblit

A Review of Catching Raindrops. Before I start telling you about the book, I would like to introduce you to the author! Her name is Crystal and she is my cousin! So yes, I am going to brag a little.

Presumed Dead

Presumed Dead

Do you remember when I reviewed a book titled Vanished? It was written by Barbara Ann Derksen, a talented author and one of my new faves as well. If you remember, I said I couldn’t wait to read the second book in the series. Well guess what? I was contacted by the review crew I belong to, and asked to review the second book as well! Like Vanished, Presumed Dead starts out by jumping right into the mystery. Hooking me [...]

Book Review: Vanished. By Barbara Derksen

Capture

Vanished by Barbara Derksen  has been my latest read and I was very sorry to see the last page. “Vanished” is definitely a suspense novel in my book. From the very first page, where a young family is forced to leave their little home and go with kidnappers at gun point, I was hooked. Brian Strait and Andrea Wilton both arrive at their friend’s house around the same time, and are very concerned at the disheveled look of the ordinarily [...]
