A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Torrent (River of Time #3) - Lisa T. Bergren

I was totally hooked to this series so I paid for not one, but two of them, $7.99 each.  First time in a long time that I have done that, so I'm proud of myself for that.

Book 3 of the River of Time series (see Waterfall and Cascade for books 1 and 2), this can be a wrap-up to the story OR not.  I noticed in the author's notes at the end that people were asking her for more, and she has been considering exploring Lia and Luca's love story, but it is still undecided at this time.  I personally would be happy to see that happen.

In this installment, Gabi's father comes back with the others and gets to adjust to medieval life.  Marcello's brother is still being held captive by the Firenze and will only be exchanged for Gabi and Lia, the She-Wolves of Siena.  When the "neutral" exchange doesn't go quite as planned, Gabi has to search her heart and her strength to follow the right path.

I really liked the series.  There were a few times that the language in it pointed to the "young adult" classification for this book.  "Dude.  I. Am. There."  That kind of colorful language that you can tell a teenager would be using.  I thought the author did an awesome job with the interactions of the characters and the action.  I finished it in a little over a day, because I HAD to know what happened.  Great series!
