Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated The Resurrection in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Ruby Case touches a young man and brings him back to life. As her little town reacts, she and her pastor uncover a very troubled history for the area. What does it all mean?
While not my normal genre, and I was captivated by this story and the characters. It was a well written debut novel, and I can't wait to see where the author goes next.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated Nightmare (Dangerous Times, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Maia is at the newest amusement park in the country - Ghost Town - when she sees a friend as one of the ghosts. Then she finds out this friend is missing. What is going on? This is a Christian novel with heavy ghost elements. Yet it treats the ghosts are real, or at least potentially real. Very well done with some creepy scenes. Perfect Halloween read.

Rachel Howser Roberts (96 KP) rated The Rules of Magic in Books
Jun 21, 2018
Better than the original
I love backstories, and this one didn’t disappoint! This was an excellent prequel that explored the heartbreak that shaped the aunts from Practical Magic. It was an excellent stand-alone novel, even if you haven’t read Practical Magic. I felt like the ending was a little rushed, and I couldn’t figure out the timeline. Regina was born in 1961, but her daughters were adults in the 1990s (assuming Practical Magic takes place when it was written).

Disclaimer: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Just whatever happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? They died in Bolivia, right? Are you sure that's what happened?
This novel gives us the story of Butch and Sundance: how they met, what happened during their time together, and, more importantly, the story of Bolivia. If you're like me and think they couldn't possibly have gone out like that, then this is a book you definitely need to read. =)
4 stars

Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Sister of Mine in Books
Jul 18, 2018
This novel, which has fire as a central theme, is a slow burn (pun very much intended). At times it seemed to be infused with drudgery and despair, not only due to the depressing topics of domestic abuse and betrayal, but also because of the main characters’ inability to really understand their feelings and emotions. That being said, the climax does not disappoint as it brings about truths and twists long taken for granted since the first few pages.
CKD (37 KP) rated Home to Big Stone Gap (Big Stone Gap, Book 4) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
The Big Stone Gap book series was a wonderful read. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters....Ave Maria, Jack Mac, Iva Lou, Fleeta, Pearl...and all the others. Great stories, made all the more real because the author is from Big Stone Gap, VA. I've heard that they are making the first novel into a movie. Should be interesting. I feel that most books turned into movies do not usually turn out well, with a few exceptions. I highly recommend this series.
David McK (3623 KP) rated That's Me in the Middle (The Bandy Papers, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The second book in Donald Jack's Bandy papers series, this is the novel that convinced me to read more of his works.
Set during the last year of the First World War (1914 - 1918), I have to say I found this book to be funnier than both the later installments in the series, and than the previous entry ("Three Cheers For Me"): indeed, this book was the cause of me getting some funny looks when I burst out laughing in work one lunch-time ...
