Danger in the Shadows, by Dee Henderson
This book is a prequel to The O’Malley Series - some of the best books I have ever read. Ever. Now that I have read the prequel, I’m going to have to read the series again…

Halos, by Kristen Heitzmann

Overall, this was an enjoyable book to read. For me, Christian Fiction is the best kind of brain candy. It’s guilt-free entertainment.
Content - One of the things I like about some Christian Fiction writers (Francine Rivers, Dee Henderson) is their ability to weave examples of real [...]

Book Review - The Witness - Rating: 4 1/2 out of 5

The Witness, by Dee Henderson
Gosh, I love this author! My absolute favorites were her “O’Malley series” books. They each told the individual yet intertwined stories of a group of orphans who adopted each other and all took the O’Malley name to make themselves a family. Her books are part mystery, part romance, and [...]

Secrets, by Kristen Heitzmann
Ok, so these reviews are getting shorter and less helpful, I know. It’s what I get for trying to “catch up” with all the books I’ve read so far.
This was another good book. It’s the first of two, the second is Unforgotten, in the series. You do not have [...]

Unforgotten, by Kristen Heitzmann
This is the second of two books (Secrets is the prequel) that tell a great story that spans two generations. I really enjoy stories that are like puzzles, telling you bits and pieces. There’s spiritual development, romance, and mystery all in one story.
I enjoyed both of these books.
There are a [...]

Book Review - The Atonement Child - Rating: 4 out of 5

The Atonement Child, by Francine Rivers
This book was very, very good. Perhaps recently having a baby made me more sensitive to the storyline. Probably. I’d say this book is almost a 4 1/2 out of 5. I won’t read it again and again, but I will definitely read it at [...]

Book Review - The Scarlet Thread - Rating: 3 out of 5

The Scarlet Thread, by Francine Rivers
This book was pretty good. I like Francine’s style of writing, and the way she develops her characters, but in this book, I just didn’t like the characters. I have a hard time reading fiction where the main characters make really stupid choices.
Women who allow themselves to be [...]

Book Review - The Still of Night - Rating: 4 out of 5

The Still of Night, by Kristen Heitzmann
Though I didn’t realize it at the time I started reading it, The Still of Night is actually a sequel or sister-book to A Rush of Wings. I recommend reading that book first, if you intend to read this one.
I like Kristen Heitzmann’s style of writing. She [...]
