My Review:

The Burning of Rosemont Abbey was my first introduction to Naomi Stephen's, but it won't be the last.

Of Gold and Shadows

Title: Of Gold and Shadows

Author: Michelle Griep

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical Fiction, Christian Fiction, Mystery, Romance

70 North

70 North JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for 70 North by Kimberley Woodhouse hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: 70 North
Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 15, 2024
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

My Review:

70 North is the final book in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters series by Kimberley Woodhouse. While it could stand alone, reading this series in order is best, as the final mastermind is revealed, and you will miss some of the connections.

My Review:

A Penny for Your Thoughts

Title: A Penny For Your Thoughts

Series: The Million Dollar Mysteries

Author: Mindy Starns Clark

Publisher: Harvest House Publishers

Genre: Christian Fiction, Mystery

My Review:

As one who does not enjoy cozy mysteries, take my review of A Penny for Your Thoughts with a grain of salt. I keep trying cozy mysteries and hoping for a better result. I did finish this one, so there is that.

Night Falls on Predicament Avenue

My Review:

I am a huge Jaime Jo Wright fan. I know if I want a story that will keep me guessing until the very end to read her books. I don't know another author who keeps me invested in both timelines like she does! Night Falls on Predicament Avenue checked every box.

Hidden in the Night

Series: Missing in Alaska #3

Author: Elizabeth Goddard

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense,

My Review:

Hidden in the Night is the third book in the Missing in Alaska series by Elizabeth Goddard. While threading them in order is most enjoyable, they can easily stand alone.

My Review:

The Elusive Truth by Joanna Davidson Politano is wildly creative and draws you in from the opening scene. I have wanted to read this book since I first saw the beautiful cover.

Series: Agatha's Amish B & B #1

Author: Vanetta Chapman

Author: Christina Suzann Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Mystery,

My review:

Despite having several of Christina Suzann Nelson's books on my TBR, What Happens Next is the first book I have read by her. I wish I had started reading her books when I first heard about her.
