Christian Fiction – Page 37 – Thoughts of a Reader

Review of “A Future to Fight For” by Mindy Obenhaus

This is my first book by this author. It is not however my first love inspired book so I had a good feeling about it. The cover of this book along with the plot summary really drew me in and caused me to want to read it. I really like how the author had the kids of Crockett Devereaux in my opinion be a sort of bridge between him and Paisley Wainwright. Even though when I started reading the book, I felt like it would be a happily ever after I still enjoy the journey to get there. I thought the author did a great job with how Paisley and Crockett seemed to have that love/hate relationship going between them. I also like noticing what the characters have in common that they do not realize.

Review of “Christmas on Ocracoke” by Christina Sinisi

This is a brand new author for me. I was excited that it is set in North Carolina at Christmas. When I first started reading it, I felt like I missed reading a book before this one because it seemed to me there was some back story for Annie that I was missing. However, the more I read the more I realized that part of the story was being slowly revealed. I thought the author did an excellent job with the interactions between the two main characters. Overall, I really enjoyed this novella.

Review of “An Unexpected Love Story” by Ellie Hall

This is an author that is brand new to me. This book is the first in the series called “Falling into Happily Ever After Sweet Romantic Comedy”. Though I enjoyed parts of this book, some of it was just not my type of book. For example, I am not big on shortening words and making them sound cutesy like where the author uses the word ship for relationship. I did like some of the parts where Catherine and Kellan interacted but not so much where it was Catherine and Hazel. I also definitely didn’t really get or love the nickname, catnip, that Kellan had for Catherine. With all that being said, this book is somebody’s cup of tea. That somebody would not mind the shortening of words and other similar cutesy things.

Review of “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Tari Faris

This is the third and last book in the Restoring Heritage series. The series also included two novellas. This is one series that you will definitely want to read in order and in its entirety. It is so good that when you get to this book you will find yourself sad that it is ending. Tari Faris does a great job making her characters and the world they live in come to life. I find myself imagining that I am there in Heritage sitting on Otis the hippo for a bit reading a book that I got from the really cool sounding town library. Then I’ll go visit the local diner for coffee and breakfast. Even though the blurb on the back only mentions two characters, there are also two other characters that I would say are main characters as well. One of those was in one of the previous books in this series. Oh and do not worry Otis the hippo definitely makes an appearance.

Review of “Lethal Cover-up” by Darlene L. Turner

This is book three in the Border Portal series. You do not have to read them in order to enjoy each one. It is the second book I have read by Darlene L. Turner. She definitely does suspense well. Unlike some suspense novels, you do not have to wait one page before the suspense starts which may be because these books are short. And the puzzle draws you in and holds you there until the very end. I definitely recommend this book.
