Book Review-The Crossing

Back Of Book

On the way home from a football game, a decade earlier, a masked gunman opened fire on a Texas school bus. Cheerleading coach B.J. Remington was killed, but her murderer was never found. Claudia, who had a close friendship with the young, spirited teacher, constantly relives the anguish of that day, caught in one moment in time. When her husband, the assistant district attorney, becomes determined to uncover the mystery of that tragedy, the secrets buried over the years threaten to tear their family apart.

Officer Casio Hightower will never forget the day his dreams were destroyed. A star quarterback with a promising future, Casio was on top of the world—until one bullet changed everything. He is eager to help Victor Campbell find B.J.’s killer, the man who shot him. Maybe solving the case will help silence the demons driving Casio to hurt the woman he loves.

As the Campbells and Casio teeter on the brink of losing everything, will they be able to discover that what begins at the crossing ends at the cross?

My Review

I loved this book!!!!!!!!!  I can usually figure out the outcome of the books before they are done but I couldn’t figure this one out.  Lets just say that the ending totally shocked me and I didn’t see the end coming.  This book also held my interest and ended up being a book that I didn’t want to put down.  I really want to read more books by this author because her writing is amazing and she does such a great job describing things in her book.  Most of the mysteries/thrillers that I have tend to get gross but this book didn’t.  It still kept me interested even though it wasn’t super gross.

If you like mysteries then you will love this book!

Review-Cherished

FTC:I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

From The Back Of The Book

How can she believe God cherishes her when she can’t forgive herself?

Kelli London once dreamed of being a songwriter. As crazy as it seemed, she hoped that God would use the lyrics that came to her while she slept. She dreamed about Brian too, that the love they shared would be a forever kind of love. But choices she’ll forever regret upended her hope . . . and turned her dreams to dust. When those dreams come knocking once more, she’s forced to deal with the pain of the past.

Heather Anderson’s life has spun out of control—first, an affair with a married man, then a one-night stand with the drummer of a popular Christian band that left her devastated. Broken and alone, she cried out to the only One who can save her. And He did. But that’s just the beginning, because now she must leave behind the only life she’s ever known.

Two women with shame-filled pasts form an unlikely friendship. What does God’s forgiveness look like for them? Will they ever believe that He loves them . . . and can still offer them a life where they are cherished?

My Review

I was not a huge fan of this book.  It has taken me months to finish this book and write the review.  It has a great message but it was boring to me.  I think it is boring to me because I am so used to reading thrills and mystery books so that when I read a book like this it tends to bore me.  I think this book had a great message.  I also love that the book isn’t gross like some of the other books I have read.

This is the first book I have read by her and I know that I won’t ready anymore since her writing isn’t what I like to read.

Has anyone read this book?  How do you feel about the book?

Book Review-The Queensford Family

FTC:I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Queensford Family~The cover and the info from the back of the book came from the website that provided me with the book to review~

by Shelley Hollenbeck

Seven invited tourists and their tour-guide driver are storm-isolated at Queensford Castle, Cock Robin Island, California. In the grand tradition of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” all seven die, one by one. Who killed them – their Native American driver? Their host? The butler? The answer is much more complicated than Christie’s, involving the characters’ past lives and a centuries-old prophecy heralding divine retribution.

My Review

Let me first start by saying that I love everything about this book until the ending.  I was less than impressed with how the author chose to end the book but I have read books that have ended worse.  Right from the start of the book it grabbed my attention and it turned out to be a book that I couldn’t put down.  Most of the book reminded me of the game of clue.  I spend the entire book trying to figure it out and I never would have guessed the ending.  I wouldn’t mind reading more books by this author.  I also think people who like thrillers or mysteries would love this book.

Once you have read it please come back and let me know what you think of it!
