Reviewer Gives Women's Fiction 10+ Stars

Title:  Flowers in the Snow (Betty's Book)
The Edenville Series Book 1
Author: Danielle Stewart
Genre:  Literature & Fiction, Sagas, Women’s Fiction
ISBN #:   B00SN3EZKW
Reviewer's Rating: 5 star

Reviewed by Tracey Quintin originally for Goodreads


Danielle Stewart remains my #1 and on my pedestal as she ALWAYS delivers an outstanding read and this read is 10+ stars! I could not put this book down, was captured from the cover on. WOW.

Betty's story takes us back to a time where unlikely friendships are born and love exists through courage, strength and determination to stand up for what is right during the turbulent civil rights times when discrimination was rampant. My eyes fill with tears as I write this because NO one should have to endure what the main characters in this story did. I laughed, I cried, I was happy, I was angry, I was sad, I was every emotion possible in reading this amazing story.

Danielle writes in such a skillfully mastered way that she delivers a brilliant historically woven read that captures your heart, breaks your heart and puts your heart back together again. You understand what makes the characters WHO they are. What an eye opener for me of events that truly happened back in those times.

I personally think everyone should read this story. If you lived it, it may help you heal. If you weren't aware, it will open your eyes towards the injustice that was done.

Bravo Danielle for tackling a very difficult subject with such finesse. What an absolute GEM of a read. I can only imagine the emotions that Danielle went through in writing this beautifully crafted work. Outstanding and can't wait for more!

Saga Intrigues Reviewer's First Read of Book by Maeve Christopher

Title:  Killer Cupid (The Redemption Series Book 1)
Author: Maeve Christopher
Genre:  Literature & Fiction, Fiction, Sagas
ISBN #:   B00A3HTO02
Reviewer's Rating: 4 star

Reviewed by Tracey Quintin originally for Goodreads


This was my the first book I read written by Maeve Christopher and one I enjoyed very much!

This story involves around more characters I've ever read in a book before and each unique in their own way. The story contains romance, love, mystery, suspense and even spiritual awareness. First time I've read that in a romance book and I have to say I liked it! It also covers a disease I've not read about in a book before.

Really enjoyed the main characters, Debbie and David. Loved his protectiveness towards her, warmed my heart. The other cast of characters were intriguing as well.

The only thing that would catch me up was my having to refer back a few pages to recall who was "speaking " and being introduced to so many characters, trying to remember who was who.

Definitely worth reading! I know I'll be reading the rest of this series because I'm hoping to get to know them all even more!!
