Published by: Bethany House

By: Dani Pettrey

I enjoy reading suspenseful fiction every now and then, so I was happy to have the chance to read and review Still Life.

This book mixes the story of a couple falling in love with a mystery surrounding the disappearance of the woman's best friend.

Who the book is for:

This book is something that any lovers of suspense will enjoy. It is also something that fans of romances will like.

What I liked:

The story of this book is unique.

The story is written in a way that kept me wanting to read more.

There is a subtle message of healing from the past and moving on in the book.

The characters are really interesting and likable once you get into the book, but...

What I didn’t like:

...it took me quite some time to get into the book and understand who was who and what was going on. Don't give up without getting past the first few chapters.

I felt like the book didn't fully finish up at the end. It kind of left me wanting a little more.

My conclusion:

Overall, I thought this was a pretty good read.

I give Still Life 4 out of 5 stars.

Published by: Waterbrook
Written by: Katie Ganshert

I love those works of fiction that are full of heart and have a story that touches the reader. I was excited to receive an "uncorrected proof" of Life After to read and review in advance of the book's release.

This book tells the story of a young woman who survives a horrible attack. She is left to face her ghosts, and while doing that she discovers others who are also dealing with the repercussions of that attack.



What I liked:

The characters in this book are likable. I enjoyed getting to know them.

The story is touching and beautiful.

The emotion in the story was real, and there are also a few funny parts.

My attention was focused on the book the whole time I was reading it.

What I didn’t like:

I don't want to give away a spoiler, but there is one thing that I disagree with the author on when it comes to the views that are shared in the book.

My conclusion:

Overall, I really liked this book.

I give Life After 5 out of 5 stars.

This book talks about the way that God and dads show their love for children.

I like padded covered boardbooks.

The pictures in this book are really colorful and cute.

This is a fun little book to read.

I love reading children's books, and I was happy to have the chance to check out yet another children's book author. I was happy to have the chance to read and review God Loves Mommy and Me.

Who the book is for:

This is the kind of book that moms will love to read to their children. I think it would make a great gift for a new baby or a baby shower. I think this book is appropriate for babies through about age four.

What I liked:

This book talks about all of the things that God has done for us.

The pictures in this book are sweet and cute.

This book has a positive message focused on love.

I like the padded cover.

What I didn’t like:

One thing that I found weird was more a messup by the author than anything. The books says that when we make mistakes, we say "I forgive you". I thought that it was weird that it said that instead of we say "I'm sorry".

My conclusion:

Overall, I think this is a cute book.

I give God Loves Mommy and Me 4 out of 5 stars.
