Whispers in the Reading Room ~ Shelley Gray

This is book #3 in the Chicago's World Fair Mystery Series.  It is set after the World's fair ends and  Chicago's bad area during the 1800's.  This is a romance/mystery story of Lydia and Sebastian and how two people come together because of their passion for books.  The mystery part of the book is predictable and non-suspenseful.  The romance part of the book is one of drama, relationships and the characters similar likes of the library.  This is the first in the series that I read and was able to understand this story as a stand alone. 

I have mixed feelings of recommending this to friends as I prefer Christian fiction and this book does not cover faith, God or religion as much as I am used to reading.  I was not that impressed with the storyline and how the characters react to situations.  Not my favorite read, but I was able to get through it and finish the book.  I do not plan to read book 1 or 2 as this book was really not my type of story I like reading.

An Endless Christmas ~ Cynthia Ruchti


This is a very short novella story that is great read for the Christmas season.  This story really gets you to realize what the Season is all about, it shows forgiveness in every chapter.   This is a story about love, family and JESUS.

A Reason to Stay ~ Kellie Coates Gilbert

As the third book in the Texas Gold series from Kellie Coates Gilbert.  The story is about romance, life, faith, love and adventure all wrapped up in one.  It is about Faith and Geary dealing with life's journey, and how GOD tests your faith with one another.  It is a book that deals with today's world situations and how your deep your faith is.  It gives us a look at how you would handle a tragedy that happens in your life?  It is all about what can happen in a split second that will change your life forever.  What will be your "new normal" when you have to make choices in life? 

I would recommend this read for any one that likes to read a story that touches your heart and makes you think about your own life situations.  This is the type of book that makes you not stop reading until you are at the end.  You will keep asking yourself  "what would I do if that happened in my life"?

Vendetta ~ Lisa Harris

This is the first book in the Nikki Boyd files series.  It is a great mystery/drama and suspense story.  The main character is Nikki Boyd a member of the Tennessee Missing Persons Task Force and gets called on a case of a missing teen girl.  As she goes about solving the case the story has many twist and turns that keep you reading.  The story takes place in Smoky mountains and Appalachian trail many similar circumstances come into play with the mystery of Nikki's sisters disappearance many years ago.
 
I would recommend this book to those that love and enjoy a good suspense, mystery,  great page turner read.  It is a great book if you want to have a read that keeps you wondering and hanging on for the ending.  The bad part is the ending is left to the imagination (or keeps you on a cliff) until book 2 comes out in the summer of 2016.  The author does give you a preview of book 2 at the end of this book.... but be warned it does leave you wanting more.
