Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Suspense, Christian Fiction, Historical, Dual-timeline

My Review:

I have caught up with all of Jaime Jo Wright's books!! (for about 5 minutes anyway, until her next one releases 😂). The Vanishing at Castle Moreau is a bit more creepy than her other novels.

If Jaime Jo Wright's name is on it, I want to read it. I have almost caught up on her books. The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater is a dual-time book set in Wisconsin. We alternate between 1915 and the present day.

The Legacy of Longdale Manor

Title: The Legacy of Longdale Manor

Author: Carrie Turansky

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical Fiction, dual-time line, Christian Fiction, Romance,

Source: Bethany House

My Review:

The Legacy of Londgale Manor is the first book I have read by Carrie Turansky. The author stated on Goodreads that this is her first dual-time book. I found it well-written and would not have known it was the first time the author had written a dual-time novel.

My review:

It's been a while since I read a novel by Terrie Todd. I had forgotten how she has a gift of grabbing your attention from the opening scene. Lilly's Promise begins at a funeral that sets the course of the novel.

Can't Wait Wednesday-High-Wire Heartbreak

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing High-Wire Heartbreak by Anna Schmidt. It is book 6 in the Doors to the Past series, where each book features a dual-timeline period romantic suspense story set against a historic American landmark. They all stand alone and do not need to be read in order. As I was writing this post I realized it published 1.1.22, but since I have not been able to get my hands on it, I can't wait to read it 😉 I have really enjoyed the other books I have read from this series and have high expectations for this one!
