Cry in the Night

Cry in the Night (Book 4 in the Rock Harbor Series) by Colleen Coble

The conclusion of the Rock Harbor Series (Abomination has these characters in it too but is not part of the series), is another wonderful mystery by Coble. I am sad to see the series end as you become quite fond of the characters. I have to say I was a little disappointed that a few loose ends were not tied up at the end but low and behold I went to the author’s website and she has the epilogue on her site!!! Click Here
It wrapped it up nicely! However, there are some characters I would love to see her go back and do a story on! 4 Stars

Into the Deep

Into the Deep (Book 3 in the Rock Harbor Series) by Colleen Coble

Step back into Rock Harbor with Bree, Davy, Samson, Kade, and all the characters you have grown fond of … another tale of murder, deception, love, forgiveness, family and faith. A wonderful read… 4 ½ Stars.

The Christmas Secret

The Christmas Secret (Book 5) by Donna VanLiere

This is the most recent book in the Christmas series by VanLiere and it is absolutely wonderful! VanLiere has the ability to write characters that are real and draw you in. This book reflects life with all the trials and triumphs that come our way. We are given insight and fresh eyes to look at circumstances through faith, hope and love. We are encouraged to believe, to dream, to hope, to love others and to give of ourselves… That our bad choices of the past do not mean we cannot make good choices in our present and future… 5 Stars.

Sweetwater Gap

Sweetwater Gap by Denise Hunter

This is a wonderful, touching story about grace, love and family. A coming home story, that shows you that as much as you run from truth, love & ultimately from God, He is always there waiting with open arms for you to come running to Him. No matter the circumstances God purposes things for our good… He loves us and wants us to draw near to Him. 4 ½ Stars

Beyond a Doubt

Beyond a Doubt (Book 2 in the Rock Harbor Series) by Colleen Coble

This story has it all… mystery involving arson, theft and murder… not to mention love. It will leave you with your hands itching to get a hold of book 3 in the series! 4 stars

Without A Trace

Without a Trace (Book 1 in the Rock Harbor series) by Colleen Coble

I have previously read Coble’s book Abomination and even though it isn’t part of this series it is linked to it. This series is a precursor for that book. Without a Trace is about Bree Nicholls’ and her search for her missing husband and son, while solving a murder mystery that is linked to their disappearance.  She also learns to have faith along the way. An enjoyable mystery read. 4 Stars

The Christmas Promise

The Christmas Promise (Book 4) by Donna VanLiere

It took me longer to get into this book … The first 3 books hooked me in pretty quickly. However, I did enjoy reading it. A wonderful reminder of the Prodigal story and of God’s love for us.

I thought it ranked some where between "it's ok" (3 stars) and "I liked it" (4 stars)... closer to four stars.
