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 raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. 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!

Strands of Truth - Colleen Coble


Harper is working with mollusks when someone tries to abduct her.  Her mentor is also attacked, and his life is hanging by a thread.  She’s got other things on her mind, but Ridge seems to be around a lot, and she’s not sure she can ignore the attraction she feels for him.

Ridge resents Harper’s relationship with his father, but now that she’s in danger, he wonders if he’s misjudged her.  Finding out the truth of the abductions/attacks will take them down a road of DNA tests, half siblings, mermaids and flashbacks.  But will they learn the truth before it’s too late?

I liked the characters in this book.  Mostly Ridge, but Harper was interesting as well.  The one issue I had was the flashbacks.  They annoyed me.  Unnecessary flashbacks are a pet peeve of mine, and I truly believe this book would’ve been better without them.  They interrupt the flow of an engaging story and are jarring.  They also didn’t really add anything to the plot.

Overall, I still enjoyed this book and give it four stars.

I received a complimentary copy of this book.  Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
