Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges (Notebook Mysteries Book 3) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and ChallengesNotebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is amazing to say the least! I love the sleuth Emma and her adventures she goes on I love the atmosphere the books take place on as well! I love how the mystery takes time to unravel and you have to use your own sleuth skills to figure out what the “culprit is”

Something I do love about this author, is they have created a wonderful heroine you can not help but love! I love Emma and her mind. She is bright as they come I would say. What I love about Emma is she never leaves her mind far from the truth. I also love how descriptive the author is when they are writing. I feel as if I am transported to a different time. The book was nothing short of amazing. Loved it, and I was just left wanting more. I loved the book, the characters, and how things led up to the end!

Amazing book, that truly is a ride of enjoyment! Love the author as well! I love their writing skill truly. I highly recommend this book, this author and this series! A must read!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Anyone who knows me knows that I love paranormal books, but I have a soft spot for werewolf ones This one book in particular was beyond amazing. I loved the characters, how things unfolded, the growth of the characters, and of course , those steamy romantic moments! There was so much to love in this read!

As I said this read was different, the world of the werewolves were among being royal. The human Lilly, serves the werewolves to keep them happy and content. She does not fit in the best. Jason is a royal, and the two of them are mates, like it or not. I loved their chemistry and I loved seeing the story told from their perspectives rather than just one or the other. Something I really loved, was the between the royals and those who protected them was that none of them were what they appeared to be The book had a lot going on, and a lot of awesome stuff that intrigued me came to light as I read, I was very surprised and on the edge of my seat. It was a ride and I freaking loved this book! A must read!

I honestly can not wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, to see what develops and what is to happen. I loved this book and the writing skill of the author so very much. Highly recommend this gifted author, and for sure, this book and series! It is a must read and not one you you should pass up!

An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo Book 4) by Calla Zae – Review by Lorrene Huisman

An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo, #4)An Alien Storm by Calla Zae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story and this wonderful author. I had not read the previous books in the series, but I most certainly am going to now. It was a quick read, with a lot of emotions and action for me. The characters were impossible to love. I found there was never a dull moment.

I personally enjoyed the tender moments between Arkon and Vanessa. Both had something hidden within that needed some healing. Their moments together really brought the story to a different perspective than what I expected. I did find there was more to them than met the eyes at first glance, and I really loved that. I loved the outside factors that made this story take flight as well. I found one ting led to another and it was a good paced book. Really enjoyed it and will be reading the others as well.

Wonderful read with a engaging story line and great characters. I highly recommend this author and this book for sure. it was beyond amazing. I highly recommend! It is well worth a read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a delightful read. i t had tender moments, and wonderful characters development. I smiled a lot as as I read on through. I really enjoyed the story and the wonderful characters. I was very lucky to come across this book and enjoy reading it. I do say it is a quick but fun read.

They say opposites attract, do they not? I found this was the case with this story. Two very different souls, basically night and day, that might have something so good and real, that pure luck could be doing its spell, but at the same time, sometimes the heart just knows! I loved reading this sweet story, The character development as well as opening hearts was defiantly three. It did not take me long before I finished the book I had a fun time, and it is one that made me feel happy as I read. Loved it!

Quick and fun read, with diverse moments of happiness and cuteness as well. I found the characters had their own sense of quirkiness as well. It was a cute read and I do highly recommend this book!

Bottom of the Chains (Grimm Wolves MC #2)Bottom of the Chains by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I fell in love with the writing style of this author in the first novel, and my love continues in the second book for sure! I love their writing style and how they bring the story’s they write to life. Love how the first two I have read can be stand alone, but reading in order, makes you understand key things more!

This story was the same key elements of the first book. It brought on that emotion that I felt when reading the previous novel in the story. Different characters and perspectives. I felt so much. It is so realistic on everything this books brings to the table. The characters bring the story to life and I really love the development in everyone. Connections are made, and some connections may not seem like an impact, but they are! Loved how the author keeps the writing engaging and suspenseful.

As said, I am loving this series. I can not read more in the series as well as more by this author. I really am enjoying their work of their writing. I highly recommend this series if you have not picked it up already, and most defiantly recommend this book and author! A must read for sure!

I do love books about survival and especially on zombies. This one really takes the cake though! I loved the action and the suspense that arose with each moment. The characters were amazing as well. It was more than just a good read, this is a must read with out any doubts!

The world was set up in a way in the book that it was a visual trip for the reader. I loved the writers creative skills to make the lay out of the story as real as possible. It was more than well done. I really enjoyed it. The characters made the setting really come together as well. There were tins of suspense, I loved how the author kept me guessing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I could not get enough of this series. I loved it. It had a good story concept and characters that really delivered. This box set was impossible not to devour. I am so happy I got to enjoy iy. It was one I could not put down and would say everyone would find something they liked about it.

For me I loved the aspect of the use of fantasy and magic used within this series. The characters were really connectable and brought everything to life. I loved how each book it developed into something full of wonder. I love fantasy to begin with, but really loved the writing style of this one as well. The characters each had their own personality and I loved that. I found in the end they all really connected in one way or another with one another. Really had fun reading this one box set!

Wonderful series and creative author! I can not get enough of the story and world the author has created. I highly recommend this box set as well as the author! Well worth a read! Loved it!

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I always love anything this gifted author creates and writes. This one follows in the author’s past footsteps. This one brought a new story to light and characters that you can dream about truly. I loved how the characters come to life and bring the story to be what it was meant to be.

I loved Rhyann! She was a strong characters that had dreams and goals, and most of all rules. Mason is someone who is strong and powerful as well. The two of them in the same room could literally make my kindle melt. I loved watching them interreacting together. What I loved was Rhyann and her dreams, but when you get the taste of something different, will it over power what you really thought you wanted? The book was full of suspense and very heated moments. Temptation was strong and a sweeter fruit when it came to more than one thing. Loved it. Really amazing read. Would expect nothing less!

Loved this author’s amazing writing skills. Anything that they write, I never am left disappointed. I am always on the edge of my seat with every book they write. Highly recommend this amazing author and defiantly highly recommend this amazing read. Its an adventure you do not want to miss out on!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! I love my vampire novels, but this one really takes the cake! i found this one delightful in every which way, it had everything I was looking for, and that suspense! Holy moly! It was such a good read and I can not wait to read more in this series!

The story took off very well, and certainly held my attention. It was really good to say the least. It was one of those books that when you finish you are left wanting more. A super hot vampire that was easy for the visual mind certainly did not hurt either. From the romantic side of the story to the suspense to the action parts, this book had everything as I said. I really enjoyed it and was HOOKED!

I loved this book and this new author I got to enjoy. I can not wait to read more by them as well as books in this series. I highly recommend both. Seriously do not pass this book or author up!

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love my scares as much as the next person, the one thing that really scares well anything out of me, it is clowns. This book was crafted so well together, I was intrigued and amazed and scarred at certain points all at the same time. I really had a fun ride with this one!

The scares the story brought as well as unforgettable characters were unlike any other. Every turn Abby faced was a to do with clowns, and to save those she loves most she will have to face her greatest fears. I loved how real Abby was. She was generally afraid, that was made known. She had to find courage to beat the evil that was stalking her. She was remarkably written. I really enjoyed reading of her. I loved how the story went about, it was crafted well with suspense. When it ended I think I had the same feelings as Abby did,! I loved the book and the thrill it gave me. Highly recommend.

Wonderful writing and a story that developed from a gifted author. There was no way I could get enough from this book, it was well done and a thrill ride all the way through. Highly recommend this book!

This was a remarkable read in every way possible. I could not get enough of it. It was beautiful and I as well enjoyed the journey of self discovery within one self, and a fresh start for one self. It was well put together and one I would gladly read again to enjoy. Wonderful read.

I loved reading the triumphs of Julia. It really showed me how some hope and belief really can go a long way . Even when the going gets tough, if you truly believe the best can truly be yet to come. i felt a lot of emotions reading this surrounding Julia, as well as around other characters. I really felt everything the book was a self discovery for myself to read as well. The book itself was a journey for me. I enjoyed this book very much, and am so glad that I came across it and was able to enjoy reading it.

Wonderful read. It was beautiful and uplifting in every which way. I could not get enough of it. It was a quick read for me. Highly recommend this book and this wonderful author. A must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this read, it was impacting in its own way, and I found it beautiful to read and watch the story and characters develop and connect on different levels as I read. I found the writing very easy flowing, and was easy to fall in love with this book. Really loved it on so many levels!

This book was beautiful and eye opening. I loved reading about Kayden and Liam. Their past still weighed heavily on them. But, I am as a firm believer if something is meant to be, it will find it way back to you. Kayden had a lot of happiness towards Kayden. They had to work thru together a lot of stuff that was far from easy. In the end they found ground that was more beautiful then the most prettiest garden. As I said I loved reading about their second chance, and falling in love all over again, and both realizing their mistakes of the past, and realizing what they had was real, and still is!

Loved this book on so many levels. I could not get enough of the flow of the story. It was moving with all the right emotions. I really enjoyed this author as well. highly recommend this author and their book. Both are a must read and a very high recommendation from me!

This story was literally impossible not be sucked into, and love every second of it. The author crafted a story that gave very remarkable characters and a writing that was different, but in a good way. I was hooked and entranced. I could not let go. I really enjoyed this one.

The way the characters were created and their interactions with one another were for sure my favorite concept of this wonderful story. Plus I love the start of this series, and can not wait to see where this is to go next. Francis and Grace and her so, were characters that really impacted me. I loved how this was not just a story of finding yourself. There was so much more associated with it. A lot is going on and happens, and in all honesty, a lot more WILL happen as time goes on. It was a quick read for me, and one I truly enjoyed and could not put down. Can not wait for to read the next installment!

Thank you to this wonderful author that created such a impacting book and wonderful start to a new series. I loved it and I highly recommend this book, series and this amazing author! A must read!

I really enjoyed this book, from a personal perspective. I loved the way the story flowed and came together. It was different! I was not sure what to expect when I first engaged in it. I loved the science fiction part of the story, the more I read, the more the book called to me, and made me want to read more!

The book was full of stories to say the least. I found the book brought on a lot of emotion for me. I was quite impacted by the words that I was reading. It had its realistic side, and you truly felt what the words being spoke were Truly felt by myself as the reader. The story was hard to put down, I was very much wondering what would happen next as I read, my mind wanted to satisfy its wonder. I really enjoyed this book and getting to enjoy a new author, They crafted a story of a universe that was unlike any other. I would say this is for sure a must read, and one that would be enjoyed on every level by all.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author is amazing in every which way. They created a story that gave that true wow factor, and gave that passion and spice you long for. And quite frankly, most of us only dream about. I was amazed and on the edge of my seat as I read. I could not get enough, constantly wanted more!

I loved Dr. Stella Magi! She was exceptional in every which way. She had spunk passion, and had not one, but 3 men she was sleeping with! She made the balance with all 3 work so well. She is a good hearted doctor, who enjoys fun. After some time she realizes she wants something serious. Which man would be best suited for her? Something unexpected does come up which could really impact her decision and where tings are to go from there! I was on the edge of my seat, making my kindle swear with various scenes through out my reading. That ending, holy cow! I need to know what is going to happen, I know I have to find out what happens next! And I certainly can not wait! Amazing book!

If your looking for a book, that will touch every good feeling part on your body as well as give that spice you long for, then read this book! It is a must read for so many reasons. And certainly not one to be passed up. And for sure its a high recommendation from me as well as this author!

This story was a wonderful and pleasant read. I really enjoyed it. I loved how things progressed at a rate that was not too slow, and not too fast. Everything fit into together well. I loved the writing style of this beloved author as well. This author created a wonderful story that was very realistic and I really enjoyed it!

Loved the romance side of the story. I loved the growing relationship between Grace and Ian. The heart knows what it wants, especially if everything you have been looking for is right there in front of you. Ian is more than he appears. Grace suspects underneath that smile, there is something more, but what? I could not put this one down. I had to keep reading to see what surface from Ian’s side and how it would affect his relationship with Grace and how it would affect her entirely. The story was appealing in more than one way, the suspense was defiantly there. Was defiantly a must read! I freaking loved this book!

Everything about this book, was amazing. I had trouble putting it down to do routine things. It really was a sensation of a read. I highly recommend this must read as well as this must read author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a first time author for me, and certainly shall not be my last. I loved this author’s way of engaging the reader and writing. I found the book itself light and funny. And it certainly had a lot of heart that was for sure enjoyable. It was a fun read that made me smile, well, a lot!

As I have said I loved how the story flowed, and the way one thing led to the next. The characters were adorable as well. Both Sophie and Gil had their own cuteness within them. I enjoyed watching them interreact together. The characters outside their relationship greatly contributed as well! Love when you got a good strong team outside the book’s main center of the couple. I enjoyed seeing what would happen next after something occurred. The book was a fast read for me, things led to another rather quickly, and I could not put this down as wondering really where Sophie and Gil would end up! Enjoyed this story very much, and I felt happy feelings as I read. Loved it!

Wonderful book, and I officially have a new author that I need and can stalk haha. I loved how the story came together and the author’s writing really made this story come to life I really highly recommend reading this cute and fun story! As well as highly recommending this wonderful author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had not yet had the pleasure to read anything by this wonderful author, but that has officially changed. I must say I am very much hooked. I fell in love with the writing of this author, and their use of fine details and how they used words, I really felt like I time jumped. It was amazing and a beautiful read.

I loved the book and as I said the use of fine details. The use of the words really made me feel like I was in that era of time. I loved that feeling, and the book was realistic when I read as one could get truly! I really felt a connection with both Faith and Nico. They were two souls that were not out to get anyone. They have to face things, that were not easy. Something I enjoyed on this book on the realism it held, was that not everyone in the town had best interests at stake I found. I loved how the book kept you guessing and how one thing led to another. I honestly was not sure how things would turn out. Loved this!

Amazing book and I do very much highly recommend you picking this one up, it is for sure one that is worth the read. I will be for sure enjoying more by this gifted author. They crafted a book that was perfect in every which way, and I really enjoyed reading it, and I would say that you would too!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I simply loved this book and the story that it held! I have been a fan of this author for quite some time, but every time they write a book, my heart is full and happy. I loved the quirkiness of the characters in this one, it was a cute read, and had the prefect amount of sweetness.

Personally I loved how the setting of the town was made up. A town that loves Valentines Day and the love it brings. Now that is my kind of town! Graham and Lara were adorable together. Both came from different sides of the fence. Both in a bakery competition, I loved how competitive they were with one another. Those moments when they were not fighting for the win, they really had common ground that was well more than just common, a ground that held something they both really wanted, but were afraid to go after. I loved the town and the happy feelings it gave off to myself as the reader for the joy of Valentines Day. As I said the book had a good humor, and happy feeling as you read. And before I knew it, I had finished the book, I loved the story of Lara and Graham and wanted more! Loved this book!

The book had its own level of sweetness and brought on different levels of joy as you read. it was a quick and fun read. Highly recommend this book, no matter what time of year it is. If you have not have had the joy of checking out this author yet either, I highly recommend you do so as well! Both are must reads!

Kiss of the SwanKiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A story about True love that is Fairy Tale as well? That is right up my alley! This was a wonderful and beautiful read. i really fell in love with the concept of the story and the characters over and over again. The story had its own enrichment, but truly shows how we can prove how deep a love for someone goes.

I loved how Cathal and Eala were truly a symbol for what true love is suppose to be. Everything seems against them, literally constantly, but they want to again and again define those odds. And not give up. They want to be together, and get what they both want, and that is to be by one another’s side. To me, it would have been easier to give up than to fight to be together. They didn’t care about dangers they faced. I loved that aspect of this story, and it really moved me. I loved the fine details as well of this story, it was very visual and beautiful to me. I loved how each character was different than the rest, the side characters had their own definitions of themselves as well. I really had a great time reading this book, and enjoyed this book, I really loved it for all it was. Amazing read!

Highly recommend this book to everyone. I was really moved and touched by this boo. It was powerful and beautiful, and I could not get enough. I am a first time reader for this author as well, but this certainly will not be my last adventure. High recommendation from me for this book and author!

Until there was youUntil there was you by G. Colgrove
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a first time reader for this author, this book was so darn addictive. I could not let this book be put down for even a second. I loved how addictive the story was, and how connectable the characters were. I was amazed, intrigued, and of course head over heels in love with the story this book held!

This book was a romance story that was completely different from past books that I have read. I loved how good the story was even when it was first developing. It was a deep and passionate and had the right amount of hot sauce that kept my senses tingling, and my emotions up to par when ever needed. It had everything. I loved how things went with this book and the story of Jeremy and Regan. they had that whirl wind romance, but with every strong wind, it is going to calm down. I loved how these two souls were faced with challenges, and literally, was at risk at losing everything, and it for sure seemed easier to walk away. My emotions were all over the place when reading, from happiness to anything less than joy. I could not put this book down, it held me good, and kept me interested, there was a lot turns here and there, and I had to keep reading to see what would develop next. Amazing hot read. Loved it so much!

This was such a good book. I loved how the story went, and the characters were so realistic, I felt this was all happening in real life. The book did not take me long to finish, before I knew it, I reached the final page and the final words. Just wow! Amazing read and very highly recommendation from me! A must read!

So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance (Love Grows Series Book 5)So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a loyal fan to this author as well as this series for quite some time. I LOVE truly how each story is different, and upholds itself in a special way. The characters in this one were relatable, and wonderful all at the same time. The story was a beautiful read, and it was very realistic, and the story was connectable!

As with the other books in the series, the story is worthy with the turns the stories can and do take. I love that personally. This one was good in so many ways. Amara and Petro were hard not to love! Both career driven to get what they want in the world of business, but is that really what they want, when they agree to do a “pretending act” together, to help seal and sweeten the deal? I loved how their connections were felt, but ignored. And neither noticed what they had going on at first glance. What they had was real yes, but they had to work for it, and I mean really work for it! With all great things, sacrifices are not far behind. When it comes down t getting what you want, how can you be sure what that really is? There was a lot of character growth as well. And as the plot thickened, the walls between Amara and Petro seemed to decrease more and more. It was a wonderful read, that you get caught up in, and simply can not let go of once you begin reading! Highly recommend the book and series! Loved it!

Highly recommend the author and this series if you have not have had the wonderful moments to read this series or wonderful author as of yet! This story alone is a must read for sure. I felt a lot of emotions while reading, all good things. A high recommendation from me and for sure, a must read!

Lost Soul (War of Destiny Book 1) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Lost Soul (War of Destiny # 1)Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a first time author for me, but this book was a powerful read for me, and one I could not simply get enough from. I loved the lay out of the story, the characters, the plot twists and turns, and was simply on the edge of my seat swept away in all things that happened through out this delightful book!

I loved the fantasy and paranormal mix that crafted this story. It was different, but certainly in a good way. It made me think, at what dues would we pay to have a life we want? That was something the character Julia was faced with. Basically live the truest form of her life at a cost, or lost it all to something that was no even close to what she would define as happy. I loved the plot twists that developed after her decision. key the thoughts of all magic come with a price, and this story made that to be true. The story was very visual for the reader as well, very easy to get lost into the details and envision you are in the world in which the book takes place. The book was amazing, and so was this author! I can not wait for the next in the series, I need more, kind of right now sort of thing! Amazing read!

Amazing and really good read. It was a book I could not put down. This author is a must read as well. I will very much enjoy reading more by them. I can not wait for the next in the series, as I have said. The book was a powerful read that developed oh so well! Perfect read! Highly recommend!

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection Book 4) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Lingering Spirits (Soul Connection, #4)Lingering Spirits by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am huge fan of this author, so of course I picked up this one with excitement! I truly do love how this author writes, and creates a story that captures you and holds you there until the final second possible. I found this one as amazing as the rest of the books written by this author. Truly engaging!

I loved the feels I got when reading this one. The story had more to it than I first thought at my first few pages in. The characters were full of intrigue, the mystery around them really captivated me. They defiantly change from the first few pages to the end. I loved their change as I would call it from beginning to end. The paranormal factors as usual was very well done with the writing! The book was not predictable at all, there were things that happened that I did not expect, and kept me interested in anticipation to what would happen next! Could not put down this wonderful read!

Love this author so much. If you have not checked out their books before I highly say you do so. This book alone, is a high recommendation and a must read. I also suggest you read the other books in the series, they are as spell casting on the reader as this one is! Wonderful read and wonderful series!

Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series Book 3) by D.L. Armillei – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series #3)Helm of Awe by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing read! I really bonded well with these characters! I fell in love over and over again, the characters were easy to love. As well, the plot was beyond anything I would have expected. I had not read the previous books in the series, but was able to follow, but will for sure be reading them now though!

The story was written with very much intelligence. I enjoyed the author and how they wrote and created the story. I was swept into the task at hand. Val was great, you could tell she came a long way it seemed since from the beginning. I loved her courageous side, and she was the one who never gave up, despite anything going on. The other characters surrounding her were just as amazing. i loved how they seemed to all be one another’s rock. I loved how the story progressed , as well as a lot of time I did not know what to expect. The suspense was kept up well. I really enjoyed this book, in fact, I loved it!

Highly recommend this book. It was very well written, and the author knew how to keep the reader interested. I loved the writing style of the author as well. This is a must read!

Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Depending On YouDepending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this author within my heart, with nothing short of passion. This author always creates a story and characters that hold you onto the edge of your seat. And most certainly do not you go. The way the story moves and develops, is so realistic, which I love. The story of this one, was as real as it could get.

This one was a true hearted book for me. The undying friendship between Cate and Patti really took flight. I loved how much they cared about one another. That is what true friendship is, you are there till the bitter end, no matter what that would be. What I have loved about this author’s writing in the past, and especially this one, is how you think you know what’s going to happens and the car totally takes a detour. I loved how the shocking events that led to another from a different event kept happening. It kept things interesting and the story was not full in any shape or form. I was hooked and really loved he characters And the whole plot of the opened case, I should have known things I was not aware of would surface. I was intrigued, and sucked in as I read. A must read for sure! Compelling and fast paced!

Wondaful read, it made me feel a lot of things as I read. I was completely immersed as I read. I highly recommend this author if you have never checked out their amazing books before. This book alone is a must read, defiantly a high recommendation from me! Not one you should miss, its a true must read!

Apocalypse (Guardians of the Garden Book 2) by Theresa Pocock – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Apocalypse (Guardians Book II)Apocalypse by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful read from start to finish. I was amazed, and sucked right in from the start. I had not read the previous one before this amazing novel, but I was able to follow it perfectly well, and really loved the character development in this one.

This one drew me in rather quick. The history and story behind the tree and the life it gave, was intriguing in more than one way. The visual effects of that scene were one for the eyes. I loved how the story built and how things were progressing and such. The characters, that would be a full length description from me haha. The characters, every one of them, was ideal in a shape or form. They all had something in them that had to be told and heard. To me that was beautiful and captivating. I found the pace kept up, and as I had questions answered, more came to light. It was perfect in every which way. i really loved the writing, the characters, the story, I was left wanting more at the end. I am for sure am going to be going back to read the previous book. Wonderful and amazing book! Loved it so much!

I do very much highly recommend this book, and defiantly recommend this author (who was a first time read for me.) The book was compelling and full moments where you could not stop reading, even for a second. I fell in love so easily with the book and characters. Highly recommend, for sure, a must read!

Bella: An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn: Logan’s Beginnings by Valerie Davisson – Review by Lorrene Huisman

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

I had just began tis book today, and I finished both beautiful and moving stories in just one sitting. I was so moved, I was a violin player before, so this one really spoke to me at first glance. I did not expect my heart to feel so much as I read. Both stories impacted me, in more than one way.

For me in the account of both stories, I moved by the overalls story on both. Both involved a hope and a dream, and as well, a love like no other.. I found both came with a lot of love and a lot of sacrifice. I really connected with the characters in both stories. The author had woven a story on both accounts that gives feelings, emotions, and that impact you would only hope to gain from reading a story. I f finished both and I felt so much, I wanted more, I loved the writing technique and how the author drew me in and held me, and played a song on my own heart strings as I read. Beautiful written words, truly flowed throughout my reading. I thank this author for this beautiful gift they created. Loved this book!

The two stories, were both different but yet connected and flowed ever so perfectly. I was moved and felt I was watching a musical act that is best felt from within your heart. Loved this book, and loved the author. Highly recommend this book and author. I will for sure be reading more by this gifted author!
