Rosemary Cottage By: Colleen Coble

I loved this book by Colleen Coble! Rosemary Cottage is the second in a series. Tidewater Inn is the first; you do not need to read the first one to enjoy this one. If you love mystery, suspense, and romance you will love this book! How well do you know your friends, your family? What you don’t know, may surprise you. Amy Lange and Curtis Ireland are trying to figure out why someone killed Amy’s brother Ben and Curtis’ sister Gina. As they dig deeper, they get closer to getting themselves killed. Who resorted to murder to keep Ben and Gina from talking? What are they afraid Curtis and Amy will find out? No matter what is in your past, God will forgive you. There’s always a way of redemption. This is a key theme that runs through this book. We must forgive others as God forgives us. Can Curtis and Amy let the past go, regardless of what they find out? Or will they let it hold them back from a future together? You’ll have to read the book to find out! The characters in this book are memorable characters that you can relate to, even the secondary ones. Rosemary Cottage becomes a place you’ll want to go visit, maybe even move to. The people and place become real as you read. The mystery and suspense will keep you turning the pages. I now want to go back and read Tidewater Inn and I can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out!! I received this book free from Thomas Nelson publishers in exchange for a review.

Redemption Legends of Graham Mansion Book One By: Rose Lee Jude and Mary Lin Brewer

Redemption Legends of Graham Mansion Book One By: Rose Lee Jude and Mary Lin Brewer Redemption by Rosa Lee Jude and Mary Lin Brewer is an amazing book! If you like mystery, suspense, with a touch of the unexplained, you will love this book. Grae White, a senior in high school, moves to Virginia with her mom and brother after her father is put in prison for “creative accounting.” They move in with her grandfather in the Graham Mansion. Grae soon meets one of the local ghosts that resides there and that encounter starts her on her journey for discovering the truth. Her grandfather tells her the story of how Joseph Baker, the first white owner of the property, was killed by his two slaves in 1786. At the time, there was a lot of speculation about how he really died. Can Grae solve the mystery 200 years later? By the time I finished reading Redemption, I had laughed, cried, and cheered for Grae. Pick up this book today to follow Grae on her adventure back to 1786 and find out how Joseph Baker may have really died. How did Grae’s grandmother know what to give her for her 18th birthday, even though she had died the previous year? You won’t want to miss that extraordinary present, nor miss out on the family secrets that have a way of uncontrollably coming to light. Once you finish this book, you will not want to wait to read the next installment in the series; I know I can’t. What an amazing way to tell the story of the Legends of Graham Mansion.
