The Judgment

By: Beverly Lewis

The Judgment is about two sisters, Rose or Rosie and Hannah or Hen. The two sisters have a rough life in Amish county; Rose engaged to one yet loves another. Hen, trying to deal with her outsider husband and his divorce threats and the possibility of losing her daughter while living with her Amish parents while trying to sort everything out. Will these two Amish sisters ever find peace in their worlds or will everything going on win the battle?

Find out what happens in The Judgment the second book in the rose trilogy. I love how you can’t guess what is going on in till you get to it and what happens is usually a surprise, not at all like you thought it would.  Beverly Lewis is a great author and I have always loved her books and have enjoyed reading her books over the years. All her books have always had a great message.  I can’t wait to read the next book in the series; I am dying to find out what happens with the sisters. I know it will be good, just as good as all of her other books, maybe even the best one yet! I would recommend this book and series to any Amish fiction reader.

The Thorn

By: Beverly Lewis
 The thorn is about two old Amish sisters; one married to an outsider the other unsure of the feelings of her heart.  Hen, married to an outsider but longs for the old ways of which she was raised, but torn between her husband and daughter and the ways of her family she has to make hard decisions that will change her and her family’s future forever.  Rose, unsure of her feelings for two different men, being courted by one yet devoted to another, the bishop’s rebellious foster son, Nick.  Many things happen to the two sisters that change them and those around them, for the better and the worse.

 The thorn, the first book in the rose trilogy, is a powerful book that after you have start you never want to put down until the very end. When you reach the end you want to read the next book to find out what happens. Beverly did a great job on this book, like all of her books it was a great read and it held a powerful message behind the story.  I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more books by Beverly Lewis in the years to come.  I would recommend this series to an fan of Amish fiction.

I was not made to write a good review, this is my opinion alone. I got this book for review thru backer publishing group.

She does not want to be under his authority anymore but he holds secrets to her past that she has been hiding for years. After an accident on the cliffs on her property Jack, the half uncle and half brother in law to Miranda comes to live and help take care of the children while Miranda recovers from her injuries. But will him being there be a problem more than a help.

   I did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would at the beginning, but I slowly warmed up to it. I had a hard time figuring out this book at the beginning but about half way through I had started to put the pieces together and truly understand the book and what was going on. I could not truly understand what was all going on until the very end of this book. That is the only negative thing I have about the book. I did enjoy this book after I started to piece everything together and understanding it. I got this book for review thru Multnomah  and was not made to write a positive review.

The Final Hour By: Andrew Klavan

 In The Final Hour Charlie West is in prison with his growing despair of his situation. He knows that there is hope, there is still people on his side but his doubts are growing.  Promised by his lawyer that freedom can be in the near future but after Charlie remembers something, something vital to the United States, he finds that he has to take matters into his own hands. After making a new “friend” Charlie finds a way out himself. Will Charlie be able to stop the great death before it is too late, or will fear take center stage in The Final Hour.

 I have loved reading this series, I have enjoyed reading about Charlie and all he went thru and still had faith that God was going to get him out of anything and everything.  It is a series you can’t lay down. I have read them in a single day not being able to set them down. I have received this book for review thru Thomas Nelson and the third book also and am  sad to see this amazing series end. I was not made to write a good review.

Freedom’s Stand

  By: J.M. Windle 

Freedom’s Stand is about the problems women face in Afghanistan, how they can be sold by their wali -a male that is in charge of them- to pay their debts, into marriage. Sometimes they get into a good marriage with love but more often than not they are beaten and abused by the husband and they are powerless to stop it. This work of fiction does not shy away from the hard issue that the women that live there and how the foreigners are treated and looked upon.  They all so talk some about ho corrupt their government is, they will kill an innocent man to cover their tracks, as the book talks about. All the characters in the story face different situations and different problems than the others so it gives you a wide range of problems and how they handled them.

This book is very informational about all the different subjects she talks about in the whole book. I really enjoyed reading this book, even though it was really long for a novel but worth ever page.  I received this book through Tyndale’s book review program and even though this is only the second thing I have received from them I am impressed in what they publish. But all in all I enjoyed this read.

I was not made to write a positive review, only to voice my opinion. This book was written by J.M.Windle published by Tyndale press.

Romancing Hollywood Nobody

By: Lisa Samson

  I truly love this series and constantly reading them long into the night because I can’t put them down until they are finished. Unfortunately I did‘t get this book through a book review program, I ended up getting this book from my library and reading it from there. Anyhow, romancing Hollywood nobody is the third book in the HOLLYWOOD series. Scotty and Charley find love on a new set where Charley works as the food stylist. How will the ones who had their hearts react to their turned heads? Who will Charley chose? Jeremy, the constantly travelling director? Or the romantic, Scottish actor? Will Seth get his act together before he ruins his inter life? Or will he join the party life of Hollywood? Find out when you read Romancing Hollywood nobody!

 If you are a young teenage girl you will love this series. It shows people doing right and wrong things and shows you the consequences of your actions weather they are good or bad ones. It is a great book for any teenage girl to have on her summer reading list along with the other three books in the series. All in all an amazing read.
