I have always loved the way Melanie Dickerson can take a fairy tale and weave in scripture and faith seamlessly. Our leading characters in The Noble Servant are faced with so many trials. But through the hard things they face, they allow God to change their hearts. To mold them into a better person. And if it wasn't for their worlds falling to pieces around them. It is possible that their paths would not have led them to each other.

In the midst of chaos it can be hard to see God's blessings. To put your trust in God when your world falls apart can be easier said than done. Yet time after time (at least for me personally) He always has a way of making something beautiful blossom from the ashes of what once was.

This book has adventure, deceit, romance, betrayal, and a twist on The Goose Girl that is sure to captivate you. I love the friendship that Steffan and Magdalen build. Trust, honor, truth, "Chivalrous to the core." As they both undergo a transformation set in motion by their circumstances, their relationship grows and their trust in God's plan does too.

I received a complimentary copy of The Noble Servant through NetGalley.I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Better than the critics would have you believe
Kyra Sedgwick plays a workaholic mum who is working the night her daughter goes missing. Her performance is one of the high spots as her life unravels around her and she doesn't know who to trust reminds me a bit of Claire Danes performance in the first season of Homeland.

There are some plot holes but not enough to ruin the series and the twists and turns in the story keep you wanting to watch the next episode.

Who can she trust, who is helping her and who is against her are all things that crop up in this series where every episode is a different day with some parts told in flashback.

Recommended, even if the critics didn't particularly like it

This was a pretty tense, heart in your mouth, read on The Pigeonhole.

Heather is released from prison after serving half of her sentence for murdering her MP husband. The thing is, she’s adamant she didn’t do it. She wants to find the real murderer, so that she can get her sons back and clear her name.

I had a lot of trust issues whilst reading this. Honestly, I didn’t trust a single person, whether they were being helpful or not. In fact, I was guessing who could really be responsible for Heather’s husband’s death right up to the end.

I loved Heather’s determination even (or especially) when she was in great danger - which was quite often.

I seem to be one of the last people to discover T.M. Logan, which is both ridiculous and fortunate. At least I have a decent back list to read!

Badass sci-fi and the power of friendship

"It’s about the life of a race car driver, told from the perspective of his dog, Enzo! Trust me, you’re gonna love this story — even those who are skeptical about talking canines. Your family will love it. Your friends will love it. And call me a gambler, but I’d put money on the fact that even your cats will want you to read it to them again and again."
