Fatal Tide
Lis Wiehl’s book number three in the East Salem Trilogy,
Fatal Tide, does a great job wrapping up the series. “In East Salem, the Elite
St. Adrian’s Academy is at the nexus of the satanic apocalypse – and the fatal
tide is rising.’ Fatal Tide continues with Tommy and Dani trying to solve the
spiritual mystery that has invaded the town. Everything seems to be centered
around the school. There are evil entities lurking everywhere. Can they get to
the bottom of this mystery before it is too late?
This trilogy brings forward a spiritual warfare that exists
around us daily and we may not even be aware of it. I highly recommend reading
these books in order or you may be lost. As I posted in my first review of Lis
Wiehl’s first book in this series last year, her books are written kind of like
Frank Peretti or Ted Dekker. The demons take on physical forms that can be seen
as do the angels. There are battles between the two all through the story. She
did a good job holding my interest and at times I found it hard to put the book
down. I’m not sure it is a good book to read right before bedtime if you are
prone to have sleeping problems or nightmares, but I read it anyway. I love
this style of writing but if you have a problem trying to visualize the spirit
world in a realistic, tangible way you may not enjoy it. If you have never read
one of her books I suggest you start to see if you like her writing style. Her
style may not be for everyone but I personally love the difference from other
authors. I read a lot of different genres of books and the predictable gets
old. I thing this series isn’t completely predictable although there are some
parts of it that are. There is a little romance going on mixed with mystery and
spiritual warfare.
I would recommend this book to others and have done so with
my husband. Sometimes (at least in my brain) I feel like men will shy away from
female authors I would shout out please don’t take that attitude with Lis
Wiehl. Her books are by no means “girlie” books and can be enjoyed by both
genders equally.
I received this book from booksneeze.com in exchange for an
honest review.
My Hope is Found
I really liked My Hope is
Found the third book in the Cadence of Grace Series by Joanne Bischof. I’ve
read all three books in this series and the third one didn’t disappoint.
“Gideon O’Riley has been
given another chance a life with Lonnie. But will the fight for her heart risk
it all over again?” In the earlier books
Gideon and Lonnie faced a series of events that separated them. In book three
things are changing. Lonnie is moving on with her life trying to get Gideon out
of her head. Gideon is gone on with his new life. Events happen that change
everything but is it too late for Lonnie and Gideon? Love is in the air but is
it love for Gideon or Lonnie’s new beau Toby.
I would suggest that you
start from the beginning with these books or you may not connect with the
characters and it may not be as enjoyable. This book is a light, easy read. It
shows that God has a plan for our lives, and that He works even when we don’t
think He is. I wouldn’t say there is any great mystery with this story but I
found myself wanting to see what happens next. I hope there is a continuation
with some of the characters maybe in another series. I can’t say who because I
don’t want to give any of the storyline away.
If you like historical,
romance novels then this is a good series for you to read. I would recommend it
to others.
I received this book from
Waterbrook/Multenomah at no charge in exchange for an honest review.
