This is a different kind of book review for me. There are ten books by ten different authors in this e-book collection. I was asked by two of the authors to review their books, the two authors I am most familiar with. There are a few of them I am not familiar with at all.
The two I am reviewing are Haunting of the High One by Kimberley Woodhouse, and The Hidden Legacy by June Foster.
Haunting of the High One
By bestselling and award-winning author Kimberley Woodhouse
Twelve years have passed since Charity Waldrep’s attempt to ascend Denali ended in tragedy. It’s different this time…or is history doomed to repeat itself?
If I understand correctly, this may be the start of a new series by Woodhouse. It was a great suspenseful read, and the author did not hesitate to share the Gospel in it. The main character, Charity, is not a Christian. She is angry, bitter, and unforgiving. Her best friend had been a Christian, and Ranger Andrew, was a Christian...and the aim of her anger.
Something different about this story is the ages of the two main characters. Charity is 42 for the main part of the story, and I think Andrew is 45. There is eventually a romance - these ARE romantic suspense stories after all. :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Very suspenseful and a great message also. It is a great addition to this collection.
The Hidden Legacy (Book two in the Ford Family Ranch series)
By June Foster, bestselling author of the Cranberry Cove series
Rancher Austin Ford and veterinarian Willow Lawson confront buried family secrets and unexpected danger, testing their growing bond amid mysterious threats to their future.
This is book two in a series. I read the first book, The Novice Ranch Hand, earlier this year. The series is about the fictional Ford family and their sheep ranch. It centers on Erika Ford. This book is about her brother, Austin, who has taken over running the Ford ranch.
Foster has written several books, and is still a bit new to the Christian suspense genre', but she does it very well. The Hidden Legacy is more suspense than the Novice Ranch Hand, and it was also an enjoyable read. I loved the angle of Austin and Willow's dead husband - you'll have to read it to find out - and Foster played that angle out very well, adding to the suspense of the book. I really liked both characters, and the author wove the suspense, mystery, and romance all together to come up with a great suspense novel. And add to that the hunt for buried treasure....who doesn't enjoy that?
There are a lot of great novels in this collection, and I highly recommend these two I was asked to review.
