My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story had its own sense of a mystery as well as suspense. I really enjoyed this one. I was guessing all the way through as I read. The writing was gripping and had a strong sense of realism. I was impacted with realism as I read. This was a book that was impossible to be put down for any means.

The book really made me feel a lot of things. The questions I had just seemed to lead to more answers. I was constantly wondering where this book would lead to next. The story was gripping and from reading of the present and the past with the stories, I was very much intrigued and constantly on the edge of my seat, for the truth was at times far from reach, but a lot closer than I had thought! The book was a sensational read, and I could not put it down! Loved it! Truly a masterpiece of expert writing!

So amazing! I really enjoyed this book and all it had brought to the table. I highly recommend this must-read book. It is a book that was dear as well something we all should read! Do not miss out!

On a summer night in 1932, twelve-year-old Joel Fitchett wanders into an East Texas diner badly beaten and carrying his unconscious brother, Clancy. Though both boys claim they have no memory of what happened, the horrific details are etched into their minds as deep as the scar left across Joel’s face. Thirteen years later, both men still struggle with the aftershocks of that long-ago night and the pact they made to hide the truth. When they find themselves at the center of a murder investigation, they make a decision that will change everything. A second lie, a second pact and for a time, a second chance. 

In 1991 college student, Garrison Stark, travels to Texas chasing a rumor that Clancy Fitchett is his biological grandfather. Clancy has been missing since 1946 and Garrison hopes to find him and in doing so, find a family. What he doesn’t expect to discover is a tangle of secrets spanning sixty years involving Clancy, Joel and the woman they both loved, Lorraine.

Told in alternating timelines from World War II to 1992, Enemies of Doves is a tale of family secrets, jealousy and deception.
