I absolutely loved this book and could not get enough!! EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT
The author was knowledgeable about the time period which really helped to pull readers in and keep their attention! The attention to detail really makes a difference! The characters are so well developed and each play such a significant role in the story! I cannot wait to find more by this author.

Chicago, 1887 – Events start suddenly for Emma. She and Jeremy are chasing bank robbers who hope to stay hidden in a train wreck. Injuries and death permeate the environment as she struggles to get help from a nearby town. Will the robbers evade capture? Will Emma and Jeremy emergency unscathed?
Home again, there’s time for things to settle down to normal though Emma never wants to settle for normal. She looks to the newspaper for new cases. When one of these starts to take up all of her time, she asked Jeremy to step-in on a second case.
Both become entangled in the two cases with both of them offering the other support as needed. Emma’s case involves a murder and a missing husband. Jeremy’s case involves child labor and possible sabotage. Things aren’t as they seem in either case. Tough decisions are made and they made Emma and Jeremy reevaluate those around them.
A time hopping whodunit that will keep you reading all night. I was hooked after the first chapter, was it Clancy that scarred his brother? Did Joel really kill his own father? And is Garrison really Clancy’s grandson? Going back between the 1940s to uncover Clancy and Joel’s life and to the 1990s while Garrison learns bits and pieces about who he thinks might be his grandfather. This story will keep you turning the pages. Will Molly and Garrison discover the truth tracking down what little information they can? Is Clancy still out there while Joel is in prison? Possibly for a crime he didn’t actually commit? But seriously, you won’t be able to put it down!

I love a good historical romance set in medieval times and Love in the Roses definitely delivers. This book is well-written and gives a realistic depiction of a medieval romance. There is a nice slow-burn romance between Isabel and Sir William. They are a wonderfully written couple and I really enjoy watching them grow. The author pays great attention to detail and you can really get into the story. This story is steamy and sweet. I really enjoyed this book.

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm is easily my favorite read of the year thus far! Even when I was not reading, I was thinking about the story and wondering where it was going to lead to. I would sneak in a page or two while cooking, while I ate lunch on my work break, anywhere or time I could until I finished! The main characters were very well developed and I adored and sympathized with each of them in different ways. I was hooked by this story on both timelines- enjoying reading of Lori, Joel and Clancy and then going forward to Garrison and Molly. Their stories spanned between the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1991. Each jump was a smooth transition between the timeframes that wove together this addicting mystery. I never once got lost. It worked so well for this book! The story had so many twists and turns. I loved that just when I thought for sure I had the ending cracked, another curve ball was tossed in and proved my theories to be wrong. By the end of the book, I was completely satisfied. I didn’t feel like the author left any loose ends. I highly recommend if you like the mystery genre. I’ll be looking forward to more from Shanessa Gluhm!

As a fan of historical fiction and thrillers, this book did not disappoint. The cover is beautiful to start. I am a teacher so I like to support other teachers. I was hooked quickly by the vivid language the author uses. The story is told using an alternate timeline floating between modern times and WWII era, which doesn’t bother me as a reader. I thought the characters were interesting and felt the author did a great job capturing both settings and the relationship between the characters. I found myself not wanting to put it down. Mystery books often are easy to figure out the twists, but this one kept me guessing much longer than usual. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

It has been a while since I have read a Mystery and I have to say I am so happy that I decided to read this fantastic book snuggled up on a cold winters day. I was completely hooked from start to finish! I loved the very creatively written story that takes us back in time so vividly you really can imagine everything as if you are right there with the characters. Speaking of characters I really liked Cora, as the lead character. She is smart and intriguing. The author added in some fabulous twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting at all. If you like YA mystery then this is definitely the book for you!

Celia Buchanan lives her life in a social whirl. And she’s hiding a secret that could ruin her. She needs a suitable husband who is either blissfully unaware of the devastating truth or adores her so much it won’t matter. She doubts such a man exists until she discovers Gabriel Rose watches her from the shadows. He may be a rogue, but his kisses set Celia on fire and the things he whispers in her ear are utterly scandalous.
Gabriel Rose straddles the border between nobility and London’s murky shadows. He is content there—until he discovers an obsession with the one woman he can never claim as his.

Destiny is a fickle creature. A bastard is abruptly elevated to the rank of marquess, and a lady is caught in a compromising situation.

Beautiful historical fiction with so much research done that you can clearly tell this author put their entire being into this piece. The story and world-building reach heights that most series hope to accomplish without being too overdone and lengthy. This series, the first installment in itself holds the reader well, the plot twisting and winding as we follow Thorfinn’s adventures without the slightest hint of hesitation. The ability to fully immerse the reader is an admirable quality, one that was done well here, and there was just the perfect blend of historical fiction and fantasy.
A great mix of characters’ ages and depictions along with a fast-paced plot has the reader hoping and wishing for more – one that I was excited to see granted! Overall, a very good read, and without throwing any additional spoilers in this review, a very great series.

Onto the next! Having read this series without any wait between books is a relish in itself, but the attention to detail and dedication to research while adding a twist on history is another thing entirely. We once again follow the adventures of our beloved characters that leave us wanting more. The precision and tone of the entire piece are beautiful, and the craftsmanship that goes into creating it doesn’t go without notice. The touches of fantasy that litter just adds the perfect amount of twist that draws readers of all genres in.
Truly a good installment into the series that touches on more than just one solid character and helps to give multiple facets to the created world. Overall, a good read. I recommend!

Arguably the best yet, Batista does it yet again. An incredibly immersive story that draws in, captivates and leaves the reader wanting that much more. Having read the two before this, they seem to keep getting better and better. This is no loss of detail or rushing through the storyline. It picks up directly from the last book and doesn’t leave anything out. I continuously feel immersed in the story, and it’s hard to put down! Absolutely worth a re-read!
This author was utterly new to me, but after reading this series, it’s awesome to have experienced their work and to be hopeful for more in the future!

Thirteen years after Joel Fitchett wanders into a diner in East Texas carrying his younger brother Clancy, both badly beaten, they both suffer from the aftershocks. They have made a promise to each other to hide the truth of what went on. Later, in 1991 Garrison Stark finds his way to Texas, chasing a rumor that Clancy is his biological grandfather. He is looking for a family but stumbles into a web of 60 years of lies that involve both Joel and Clancy along with a woman named Lorraine whom they both loved. The author masterfully weaves a story with alternating timelines that manage to hook you in from the first page. The characters are all complex and wonderfully written. The plot is intriguing. There are a lot of twists and turns and the story has you in tears. You cannot help but feel for these characters. This is a very well-written, page-turner of a story.

Enemies of Doves is set in changing timelines between WWII and 1992 and includes some very heavy topics and trigger warnings for PTSD, child abuse, and addiction. The story follows a few different people. Tom Fitchett is a dentist in a small town in 1941 with two sons. He is also an awful father, and expects perfection from them. He is often verbally and physically abusive, and this leaves for a tough life for the boys. His sons, Joel and Clancy, only two years apart, learn to look out for each other, while both try to figure out their paths. Garrison stark, in 1991, loses his parents and goes his own journey for answers, with the help of his grandmother and her dementia. Then you have Lorraine, who both of the aforementioned brothers, are in love with. She also loves both of them. How or where will the love triangle go? Will Garrison get his answers? How are the two timelines relevant to each other? All of this and so much more is answered. The ending was both unexpected and heartbreaking, and worth every minute it took to get there. Definitely deserving of 5 stars.

Joel Fitchett is found badly beaten and carrying his brother, Clancy in 1932. The theory is that the police know who did it, but with neither boys talking there is a mystery that surrounds what happened that fateful day.
This story vacillates from 1991 back to the 40’s with a college student Garrison Stark trying to uncover the history of Joel Fitchett as well as finding out if Clancy is his grandfather. Clancy disappeared in 1946, will Garrison figure out what really happened and if Clancy is who he thinks he is.
This pulled me right in, I thought the pacing of the story was well done. I definitely was intrigued by what happened to Joel and as you delve into the story and see how it all unfolds. New to me author and I will definitely like to see future books from her.

Told in alternating timelines from World War II to 1992, Enemies of Doves is a tale of family secrets, jealousy and deception.
It wasn’t how we were born or raised that made us the men we are today. It was what happened that day that set the rest of our lives in motion
****
Shanessa Gluhm delivers a powerhouse of a novel! Spanning over the course of 60 years and divided into two timelines you follow the story of two brothers, Clancy and Joel, harboring a deep secret. One that changes the course of their lives forever.
This book is packed with action, family drama, and lots of unexpected twists. With fleshed out characters and a plot line that will leave you flipping pages (and ignoring life until it’s done) this book easily gets 4/5 stars from me.
It was a quick paced read and the way the characters were developed made the story that much more interesting to read. I really enjoyed the many twists and the alternate timelines it added such depth to the story and kept me interested in knowing what happens.
If you’re a fan of historical fiction, thrillers and drama this will be your kind of book. I highly recommend giving this author a try!

Cora Croft is a high school senior that gets the chance to be Nikola Tesla’s assistant. This is a wonderful chance for Cora; especially at a time that saw it as unusual for women to pursue such things. This assignment leads her into a world of murder and intrigue. I always enjoy reading this author. They really have a knack for a grand retelling of historical situations. As always a great plot and well-written characters lead the way. The plot sucks you in and the characters are relatable. Murder in the Lightning Room is a definite page-turner.

‘Enemies of Doves’ is one of the best debut mystery/suspense that I have read. You can feel the power coming off of it. Told between two timelines, the plot so perfectly intertwines itself that the twists and turns just flow with it. This is an emotional story that will take your breath away. The story of two brothers and the girl they loved as told by the possible grandson of one of the brothers many years later. I was glued right from the start. The story is so well-developed that the author just naturally engages you with the characters. Joel and Clancy grab you from the start. You can’t put the book down because, like Garrison and Molly, you have to know what happened. This is a book so well-written that I hope there will be more from this author. I will be eagerly awaiting more. I am a new fan of hers. If you love suspense and mystery, you should read this one.

What an incredibly well written novel! I was tangled in the mystery this story held. I couldn’t have put this book down even if I wanted to. This book flowed easily and held the perfect amount of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat until the end! I got completely and utterly lost to this book and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from it! Family secrets, deception, envy, and jealousy all wrapped into a young mans search for a place to belong and a family seemingly lost in the wind. I couldn’t recommend enough!!

I’m not sure how I felt about this story. I enjoy period pieces while watching movies, so I figured I would give a book a try. Love in the Roses was a sweet romance. One that you can tell by reading that the author put a lot of thought and research into. Getting the language and the dialect of the time, to setting a premise taking the reader back to that time. As if they were living during that time. Isabel, is now of age to be married off. Her family is well off but in those times it was about strengthening your place in society. Picking the right husband and family is the best way to complete that task. Sir William, a knight, who has been given that right to prove himself worthy. Not only to himself and his new betrothed but to family as well. Raised to become a night since he was 7, he knows what it takes to defend one’s honor and country. But does he know how to love and run a home? This story is about their adventure together learning and growing together and showing the community who they are. It’s a well written period piece and though this particular one wasn’t my thing it’s definitely worth the read. Especially if you enjoy period pieces.

The Letter Carrier is a historical fiction novel about a young lady named Michelle Naget that lives in France during World War II while their country and home are invaded by Nazi’s. This is a touching and informative coming-of-age story. Reading about Michelle’s unwavering hope for better times and strong faith in God is inspirational. The faith of the Naget family was definitely rewarded. Reading about the hardships of living in an occupied country during World War II was heartbreaking. There was a lot to be learned regarding the experiences of these people.

The anticipation the author leaves is similar to chasing a high. You read each page as if it will hold the answer you are searching for. The author had my attention from the first sentence to the last. It was difficult getting anything done because I wanted to know what happened to the Fitchett brothers. The only way I was going to get my answer was if I kept reading.
The characters are brought to life in such a way that you almost feel like you are reading a nonfiction book. I do not think I can describe the Fitchett brothers as anything other than relatable without giving anything away. Then you have Garrison and Molly who you are rooting for the entire time. And of course you cannot forget Lorraine, who is loveable but frustrating. You also have characters who play a smaller role in the novel, but the author writes about them giving them as much personality as the main characters. This book is truly a work of art. If you enjoy a good mystery novel, this is the perfect one for you. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

“The Nazi’s took her country, her village, and her home, but Michelle Naget discovers that freedom begins in one’s heart.”
The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis is a superb coming of age story set in France during WWII. What sets this story apart from others is not only Ms. Lewis’s wonderful writing and storytelling talent, but also the fact that this is a true story. This historical story tells of a young girls experience to survive and also trying to keep her family safe- with all the dramatic details we read of family, war, faith, courage, heartache, friendship, culture, challenges, and struggles- all while giving us a window into life in those times. Happy Reading!
