My Thoughts: Could Not Put It Down
The minute I started reading I knew I would not be putting the book down until I reached the end. The mystery factor and intrigue hit me right off the bat and that is all it took to keep me glued to the pages.
One of the things I loved is how author, Mindy Steele, gives just enough clues to make me think I know where the story is going and then it completely goes in an unexpected direction, which of course, spurred me on all the more.
I also loved the way the story moved from past to present at just the right moments and with just the right amount of clues to keep me guessing and keep me connected to see where it was going and what the characters were going through. I could not put it down.
As if the mystery wasn’t enough to catch my attention, the romance, faith messages and humor sealed the deal. Josie was something else with the burden she carried, making me feel extreme compassion for her. Reed was just plain awesome, and his caring and compassionate nature won me over from the start and completely touched my heart. Their blossoming relationship was a joy to watch. That along with the twists and turns of the mystery and the wonderful descriptions of Mammoth Caves the surroundings definitely made this a winner of a story that I could not put down, and it is definitely one that I highly recommend.
