Rocky Mountain Revenge by Rhonda Starnes is a fast-paced, suspense-filled story! I loved how Rhonda jumped right into the mystery from the first chapter, it caught and my interest right away and I enjoyed her writing style. The suspense was believable and very engaging (in an edge of your seat kind of way), and the circumstances the characters found themselves in were something I could see happening. I thought that Rhonda Starnes did a good job with the character's personalities and I liked the tensions and understories that she created with them. I liked Grace’s dedication toward her family, and I thought Even’s character was well developed in a short time!
From someone who has read almost every Love Inspired Suspense book I will tell you that it is one of my favorites

"Once you put aside the matter of OH MY GOD THE SLAVERY JESUS LOOK AT ALL THE FREAKING SLAVERY STOP WITH THE SLAVERY, MAN, the core conceit of this book is amazing. It the most famous teen literature ever-Scarlett is 16 when the Civil War kicks off, and what keeps her going through the complete destruction of her family, status and life is her unrequited love for Ashley Wilkes. The idea of that kind of demented fantasy-let's face it, Ashley's a drip-keeping you going through awful years is such a key Teenage Girl Thing. The fuel is mad unrequited love, keeping you going. It inspired both the "Fantasy Love Affairs" chapter in How To Be A Woman, and most of the plot of How To Build A Girl, hahaha."

I'm not sure how I feel about this book it seems rather rushed if I'm honest.


It's written extremely well from the Creena's point of view but it seems like it's lacking elsewhere, fair enough she gets shipwrecked but then next thing you know it's 2 years on from the accident and she knows all this stuff you don't find out how she's made her discoveries. It would have made for a more interesting read I personally think to know how she came about being able to do the things she did.


The ending is also very sudden it's almost like you're running and then smack into a wall that kind of feeling. I was ready for another chapter or an epilogue or something, not just that's it, we're done.


It's an okay read.

Review taken from my blog <a href="http://themisadventuresofatwentysomething.blogspot.co.uk/">The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl</a>


You know when you read a book and you don't want it to end because it feels as if it's become a part of you? End of Faith:A Novel by Rena Willemin was definitely one of those books! From page one, I was hooked!

This book is a apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic thriller. We mostly hear the story from Valentina's perspective although every now and then, we get to hear what the Prophet is thinking. Valentina is one of the few people to survive a major pandemic. One day she sees a pregnant woman in trouble, so she does what most people do. She helps her. Little does she know how important the woman was and how that action will change her life for the worse. We follow Valentina as she struggles to survive in a fight for her life.

The character of Valentina was amazing! She really felt like someone I (and probably a lot of women) could relate to. She's a very strong character, but not too strong that she doesn't seem real. Val goes from being just a normal loving wife to a hard core woman determined to fight to stay alive. I definitely felt what she was feeling at all stages throughout the book. It didn't take me long to love Val.

I loved the world building in this book. This is another element which made the book seem more real. The description of an post-apocalyptic world seemed to be bang on, well, I've never been in an post-apocalyptic world or even an apocalyptic world for that matter, but the setting in the book is what I'd imagine it to be.

The pacing of the book was done really well as well. It read brilliantly! It definitely held my attention throughout the whole book.

There wasn't one chapter where the pacing was off.

The cover definitely suits the book. A woman (I assume to be Valentina) running through a tunnel of some sort, looking behind her shoulder like she's really afraid. The colouring of the cover also has a post-apocalyptic feel to it as it gives a feeling of despair.

The title definitely suits this book especially as there is a prophet involved and what feels like a religious cult.

End of Faith:A Novel definitely made me realise just how something like this could happen especially after the scare with Bird Flu. It paints a very realistic portrait of what life could possibly be like if a pandemic of epic proportions were to happen. In fact, this book probably will have me thinking about "what if" long after this review. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone regardless of if their a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction or not.

I was so happy to see that this book is part of a series. This means that I'll be able to feed my addiction of Valentina again!!!
