Children of the Promise

Children of the Promise, Vol. 1: Rumors of War
I don't know if you have had the oppurtunity to read this series or not, but all I can say is WOW!!! I love stories that are fictional but have some truth to them. I feel like i'm learning a little as well as enjoying a really good novel. I love books during WW2 times and this one just hit really close to home with Quinn being in Afganistan right now fighting. I can't believe the things people went through back then, the communication alone would drive me nuts. I'm so thankful I can talk to Quinn so much easier than they had did.

This book not only looks at the aspect from the US but also from Germany, your feelings will change about things that happened and your eyes will be completely opened about issues in the war that happened. So a great series to read, romance, history and war. Gotta love it!

Safe Haven

Safe Haven
If you don't know already, I love Nicholas Sparks! I know some of his books are kind of bittersweet but recently they haven't been that way! This is his newest novel and I have to say it was good but not my favorite.

It was a little more what's the word I'm looking for?? vugal?I don't know how to put it but the overall story line was awesome! I love how he just catches you from the start and then you hooked! There is some sex in it that I wasn't overly happy about but I also felt like it had to be there to get the point of this girls life across!

Let me know what you think!

Eyes of a Stranger and Imprints

Eyes of a Stranger
This is the 1st of the Series! A girl finds secrets about her past after moving to Portland! It has some suspense to it but not enough to keep you up at night. She also adds romance to it of course which you have to love. She is an LDS author so they are super clean, no swear words or in appropriate behavior. This book will catch your eye right from the start!




Imprints
This book I think was better than the 1st. The way she keeps you going, she doesn't want you to ever put this book down until its finished. This also has suspense but like I said I love it because it's not something that will keep you up tons, although I did dream about Cults which was a little interesting. I love the main character personality in this. They way she just lets life happen and she doesn't care about looks or what she's lacking that others have. It does have a similar ending I think to the first which kind of bugs me I think she could go out of the box a little more but overall a must read!
