I always eagerly anticipate the newest release by Jaime Jo Wright, simply because she is a masterful writer with stories of suspense and surprise that are truly unmatched, especially in the Christian genre. “The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theatre” contains all of her signature trademarks that her fans know and love, yet is still a unique and page-turning story that I couldn’t put down.

The Talent Of This Author – Amazing!
I truly don’t know how Jaime Jo Wright manages to bring forth so many new titles so quickly – but believe me, they never show even the slightest decline in content, quality, or imagination, I promise! To the contrary, “The Vanishing at Castle Moreau” is actually one of my favorites of her novels to date. Continue reading
A High-Stakes Alaskan Adventure
“Cold Light of Day” is an action-packed new novel by Elizabeth Goddard that had me flipping pages as quickly as I could, even late into the night, in order to discover how this secret web of Alaskan intrigue would be unraveled. As the first book in the “Missing in Alaska” series, this novel takes off with a flying start. It is action-packed but features a strong and compelling storyline as well – plus characters who leap off the pages and into our mind’s eye. Continue reading
What A Ride!
Deep sigh…. We can all move on with our lives now, since at long last Susan May Warren’s “Sky King Ranch” trilogy has been completed! Each of the Kingston brothers has told their stories, and all of the loose ends have been tied up. “Sundown” was a nail-biting page-turner that kept me wondering at the outcome right until the end, and surprised me in ways I was not anticipating. Continue reading
An Un-Relaxing Hawaiian Vacation!
Are you ready for a peaceful, relaxing vacation to the quiet beaches of idyllic Hawaii? Well, if so, you’d better look elsewhere – this is definitely not the book for you, lol! “Elysium Tide” does take place in Hawaii, but it is also a fast-paced, twisting and turning, thrilling and unpredictable suspense novel from start to finish. There is no relaxing to be found within these pages! I have never before read a story by James R. Hannibal, but this talented author is definitely added to my reading list now for any future releases. Continue reading
The Sky King Ranch Adventure Continues!
You know how some series of books have plots that are so closely connected in time, the wait between their publications seems interminable? Susan May Warren’s “Sky King Ranch” series is very much written this way – after reading “Sunrise” several months ago, the countdown was on until “Sunburst” finally released from Revell. Now that I’ve devoured this one, I’m waiting (im)patiently for “Sundown” to be released later this fall! Continue reading
Not Your Typical Amish Story
I don’t know about you, but I don’t often think of the terms Amish and Murder Mystery as being simultaneous descriptions for the same novel – am I right? And yet that is exactly what “Among the Innocent” is! While technically in the romantic suspense genre, this new novel written by Mary Alford and published by Revell is a thrilling, unexpected, and deeply riveting tale that rocks a quiet Amish community to its core when a series of murders takes the lives of their near and dear. It is up to Leah Miller, herself a former Amish member and now a police officer, to solve this deadly mystery before others end up hurt. Continue reading
A Rich, Thoughtful, and Intriguing Tale
Kate Breslin’s sweeping new wartime novel will whisk you away to Scotland, 1918. Here the shocking drama of one young woman’s desperate attempt at a new beginning collides with a murderous plot to destroy the lives of many, and alter the course of the war. “As Dawn Breaks” was published by Bethany House late in 2021, and is a not-to-be-missed release by any fans of Ms. Breslin’ previous work, or readers who love masterfully-crafted historical novels. Continue reading
Jaime Jo Wright’s Best Story Yet (and that’s saying a LOT!)
“On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor” is my new favourite novel by Jaime Jo Wright! Published by Bethany House in the summer of 2021, this book has just the right mixture of dark mystery, hopeful healing, and dual-time back-and-forth sequences to keep me turning pages long into the night – I simply couldn’t wait to see how it was all resolved! I also love how it was deliciously creepy and haunting, but it all turned out reasonably explained in the end. Continue reading
Amara Alvarez Is Back!
After reading Tom Threadgill’s novel entitled “Collision of Lies” last year, I was hooked by this author’s talent for creating vivid characters and combining them with a fast-paced, intricate web of secrets and lies – all of which add up to a can’t-put-down mystery novel. Published by Revell earlier this year, “Network of Deceit” continues the story of Detective Amara Alvarez as she tackles her newest investigation. It appears to be a case of overdose and heatstroke by a teenager at a local waterpark – until a tiny detail comes to light that shows perhaps something more sinister is afoot… something like murder.
