"Mesu writes biblical fiction from a teacher’s heart. I’ve learned a lot about Jewish culture and tradition, Promised Land geography, and Old Testament history based on her works of fiction. What’s more, Mesu’s books tend to focus on characters from the Bible other author’s overlook; like Job, Solomon, Hosea & Gomer, Jehosheba (In the Shadow of Jezebel), and Annipe (Pharaoh’s Daughter).

"I’ve been following Kristy closely since the release of her debut novel. She won my heart with The Butterfly and the Violin. Then held me captive with her sophomore novel A Sparrow in Terezin. These first two titles were dual-time period books rooted in WWII. I’m super excited for her new book because it takes place in the Roaring 20’s under big-top world of the Ringlings’.

Kristy is incredibly friendly and social media savvy! Visit her blog to read a prologue excerpt of her 3rd novel and to see some of her research footage. For even more fun, check out the gorgeous storyboard she has created on Pinterest for this The Ringmaster’s Wife."

"Varina’s book Justified was the one title from last year that really caught me off guard. There are plenty of well written and emotionally stirring books, but this one has that little something extra — a bold statement of Christian faith paired with a remarkably “real” storyline."

"Tessa Afshar is another author I’ve followed from her debut. In 2016, she will be making the jump from Old Testament to New Testament era biblical fiction. If anyone can make the transition well, I know that it’s Tessa!"

"A flight of Arrows is the 2nd book in The Pathfinder’s Series by Lori Benton. I borrowed an audiobook copy of The Wood’s Edge from my local library. While I didn’t post a review here on the blog, I did share my thoughts about book #1 on Goodreads. It was so good that I have to know what happens next.

"I finished Vendetta, the first book in The Nikki Boyd Files, at the end of November. Nikki Boyd is a strong, multi-layered character who I believe will carry the entire series well. Romance has to be done right (believable) in order for me to buy-in to the story. That being said, I really liked how the author gave only a hint of something brewing between the lead characters in book #1. Lisa Harris has drawn me in to this series and I’m looking forward to reading Missing."

"I’ve read four of Pettrey’s books and have reviewed Sabotaged and Silenced here on this blog. In her Alaskan Courage Series, I fell in love with the McKenna family. Really, I wanted them to adopt me. With this book readers will begin a new series, in a new location with new characters…I can’t wait!"

"First Esther, followed by Bathsheba, and now Delilah — I have a cover crush on this entire series. Thankfully, each pretty cover has been equally matched by beautiful stories on the inside."

"Shadow Mountain: Exodus was a book that I read in one sitting. Granted I was on my way back from my mission trip to Bulgaria, but I couldn’t sleep or even catnap after I started that book. Cliff Graham set the bar high, so I’m expecting him to deliver another title that possesses both action and vivid imagery."
