A Time to Seek (Time Travel Journals of Sahara Aldridge, #1) by Tracy Higley


 





Wow! Just Wow! That's my first reaction. This book is very difficult to put down so I suggest anyone who reads it makes a block of time for it ahead of diving in. The research that was done on this was extensive and in depth. The characters were wonderful. The sense of ancient Egypt history is unbelievable. But the story itself is riveting. Time travel is always a fun concept and it is interesting to see different author's thought processes on how this would work.

Sahara was the daughter of two archeologists whose specialty was Egypt. They disappeared on a trip to Venice when Sharah was 15. Sahara became an archaeologist as well who specialized in Ancient Egypt and became part of digs of the Pharoahs' tombs. She had always wondered what happened to her parents and about the clues she had found in their belongings. She also wondered about unexplainable things that had happened to her. She was about to get some more clues.

If you are a fan of time travel novels, historical fiction, Christian fiction, or just want to try a new and exciting reading experience, this book is for you! Grab a copy as soon as they release it and jump into some personal gratification.

Let It Be Me (A Misty River Romance #2) by Becky Wade


 



Sebastian and Leah meet in an unexpected incident and Sebastian is instantly attracted.  Sebastian is a former foster child who grew up to be a pediatric cardiac surgeon.  Leah is a mathematical genius who gave up on her PhD to raise a younger sibling.  She now teaches High School math.  Add to the picture Leah’ recent discovery about her genealogy and the fact that Sebastian’s best friend has long had a thing for Leah.  And both of them distrust relationships and are conflicted about that stance and their budding attraction. This is a fun story.  I hope there is another story coming into this series.

Three Missing Days (Pelican Harbor #3) by Colleen Coble


 


This is another installment in the Pelican Harbor series.  Sheriff Jane Hardy is still trying to unravel the mysteries of her childhood with little help from her parents who are both holding back information.  Meanwhile, her son Will is being threatened and she and Reid, her ex- who is Will’s father, are frantically working to solve the situation and help Will.  The story answers a lot of questions from the first two books and I really enjoyed it.  There was a lot of suspense and “who done it,” involved which always make for a great story.

Aftermath by Terri Blackstock


 


Jamie Powell, a criminal defense attorney, is called by a childhood friend, Dustin who has been arrested for stolen bomb parts in his car on the same day that a bomb went off in a political rally in a large venue in town.  The bomb was made with other components that were stolen at the same time.  Dustin and his partner have a successful security business and the components were stolen from a business they had set up security for.  He is obviously being framed, and Jamie is determined to help him through this process and find the real criminals.  This was full of suspense and action.  It was well written and a great read.

The Jam and Jelly Nook (Amish Marketplace #4) by Amy Clipston





This is another installment of the Marketplace series where four cousins begin by having their own market stands in the Bird-in-Hand Marketplace in Pennsylvania.  In this story, Leanna, the oldest cousin finds love.  She is a widow with a teenaged son and she meets a widower with a teenaged daughter and neither of the teens wants their parents to have a relationship with anyone but eventually they all come to an understanding and everyone benefits.  There are fun characters, including the other cousins and their spouses and various other family members and neighbors.  Amy Clipston always tells a good story and I recommend this entire series to anyone who enjoys Amish fiction.

A Patchwork Past (Plain Patterns #2) by Leslie Gould


 


This was another great book by Leslie Gould but a little more involved than usual and very interesting.  The narrative switched back and forth between Sophie, a young adult who has not joined the church and who has lived away from home for a few years and an ancestor who had lived in the same area in the 1800s.  The Chicago fire is showcased in the historical part and modern issues such as Lupus, immigration and other problems.  The books is well researched and very informative as well as just fun to read.  I highly recommend this book.  It’s a cut above the run of the mill Amish book.  If you love Historical novels, this book is for you.
