Bella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan's BeginningsBella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan’s Beginnings by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I am always excited when I pick up one of her books. I know that I am in for a great story that is hard to put down. I enjoy how she pulls me into her stories from the beginning. This book is no different. These are well written stories that have characters that are not only connectable but make their stories pop. They kept the story engaging and made it entertaining to read. This is a book that has two prequel stories for my favorite character Logan. She is a strong character that just makes the stories for me. They are fast paced and kept me coming back for more. In the first story we get to see Logan’s great grandmother and a violin that gets passed down from generation to generation. The second book takes us to the place days before Logan’s life is shattered. I really enjoyed each story and seeing a little bit more about Logan. This is a great pick up and so worth it. I highly recommend this book and this author.
