The Blue Cloak

By

Shannon McNear

Intrigue, shocking and the unknown is how I would describe "The Blue Cloak". "The Blue Cloak" is a great addition to the " True Colors - Historical Stories of American Crime.

My thoughts - The thought that this actually happened is hard to believe. I feel Shannon McNear did a well written book with a lot of  research. It helped for me to understand the content in this book by the information at the beginning.The author did give a note at the beginning to let people know that this might be a trigger for some.

I would recommend a 4 out of 5 because it was very hard to read, but it is true.

I will recommend this book to family and friends.

Connolly Cossette has become one of my favorite authors of historical fiction. Her ability  to create vivid, historically authentic world with a wonderful memorable cast of characters.

My thoughts -" Like Flames in the Night" is the last book in the "Cities of Refuge" series. It's a stand alone book, but I would recommend reading all of the book's. It is a very enjoyable read from the very first book to the very last one.  In "Like Flames in the Night", we get to see some of our old friends from previous book's. It was so hard to say goodbye to these amazing friend I've come to love. There is intrigue, adventure and love for family, friend's, new relationships and most importantly God.

The Star of Persia

By

Jill Eileen Smith

A must read! A fabulous book you will not be able to put down! The Star of Persia is a book that draws you in from the very first page. This is the second book I have read of Jill Eileen Smith and it defiantly won't be the last. She know how to pull you in from the very first page and I couldn't put it down.

Synopsis - In Xerxes world, he was wanting to complete a task that his father started.  This task was finish his plans to win a war.  While he was planning this war, there was trouble brewing between his two wives.  Vashti and Amestris were by no mean friends.  Vashti was the love of the kings life and Amestris and the kings mother couldn't stand that.  Then there was a time that Hadassah was brought into the picture.  Her name was changed to save herself and her people.  Esther was born and a new queen was born in Persia.  This story is filled with courage, love and duty to fulfill the past.

My thoughts - I could tell that a lot of research went into this book.  Jill Eileen stayed to the story of Esther.  I have to say that I don't remember a story that touched me more that this story of Esther.  Esther showed real courage in a difficult time in the bible.  One woman stood up and helped to save the Jews from destruction.  It is through her love and faith of God that helped her and protected her.

I will give this book a 5 out of 5 stars

I will be recommending this book to friends and family

Isaiah's Legacy

 

By

 

Mesu Andrews

 

 

I have to admit that Mesu Andrews is a great storyteller!  She knows how to bring a historical story to life.  I sometimes struggle when I read stories in the bible and she was able to show me what the time was like and just made me feel like I was there. Isaiah's legacy drew me into the story from the first page.  You can tell that the author spent a lot of time researching the history during the time of King Manasseh.

 

This story is about a young girl Shullie and her relationship with Judea's future king Manasseh.  She was brought into the picture to tutor Manasseh.  It was during this time the Shullie was forced to learn the art of worshipping pagan god's.  Some sections of Shullie story was hard for me to read, but it was necessary to understand how Manasseh became one of the worse kings in Judea. 

 

I am giving this book a 4 star's out of 5.

 

I will be recommending this book to my family and friends

 "Hopes Highest Mountain"

 By

Misty Beller

Hopes Highest Mountain written by Misty Beller is one of my favorite.  I love Misty Beller books and I'm not disappointed by this book.  This book is about a outbreak of small pox and getting their much needed medicine.  It's a book of faith and love, which is always a great combination. I just love the characters, because they are so likeable.  Misty made you think you are back in this time where outbreaks of any kind was ten fold. The one amazing thing is I couldn't put it down.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes a great book!
