First of all let me start by saying, Wow, what a concept and what a tale. The story was interesting, sure it could have been longer, I wouldn’t have minded that at all. The characters were creepy, that’s for sure. The intrigue and mystery were certainly abundant. I really enjoyed this book. I just wished for more depth in the characters, more meat on their bones. After reading it, I gave a quick look over at Amazon to see about this author and his other works, and then I saw that this is a writer that is still in high school. A young high school student. Not a senior, but really young. I immediately forgave the lack of fleshing out that had flummoxed me. What a gifted young man he is and what a wonderful future he is going to have. His story was engaging, confusing and very intense.
I liked the pace of the story, it kept me engaged and wondering what the heck was going to happen next. I would love to see more in-depth work from this author. If he had fleshed this out more, it would have been a solid five.
David Duane Kummer is a name you need to watch for in the book world. After I posted my first review on Goodreads I stayed on his page and watched an interview with him and I was just amazed at his humor and his ability to answer questions that might have made me stammer to answer. I am happy to say I read his work when he was just starting. If he stays focused on producing quality stories like this one, he really will be a force to be reckoned with later. Imagine how good he will be when he has learned all the grammar and editing rules.
This was a sweet story with the kind of characters that just pull me in. Characters that were broken and needed something, something they didn’t know they needed.
When I began this book, I was saddened by the trauma that befell Catherine. To have a young boy stand beside her and offer her hope was so sweet. As the book progressed and I found Catherine and Benjamin as adults and being reintroduced, it was such a difficult time for Cat. I admit I had tears on occasion as they attempted to become friends and perhaps even more. Both were set on their own course and it did not seem promising. The writing of such pain and memories was so endearing.
When I was reading I was so struck by the kindness and generous heart of Ben. He was coming into his own and he was becoming such a decent human being. My heart broke with the tragedies of life that they both faced. although sometimes I felt the urge to just growl and groan I continued because such lovely scenes filled the pages.
I am so glad I was given this ARC to read and review. Lovely book, with so much heart.
My Recommendation:
If you enjoy historical romances with heart and an engaging plot, then this book will be perfect for you. I personally hope Charlotte Stone writes more about these families. They are worthy of their own stories too. I seriously enjoyed all the characters and hated to see the book end. I wanted more.

I love Diana Hunter and this book did not disappoint. This was my third book featuring that genius and delightful Diana Hunter. That she was once again in contact with Peter was good news for me. Not so much for Diana. They have their issues. They are, however, willing to work together to solve this intriguing mystery. The mysterious theft was really ingeniously told. I loved the story, the mystery, and the hint of romance.
I was so happy to receive this copy for review. It is such a good series and I can easily give my honest review. This book deserves the 5 hearts I gave it. I can not wait for another book about Diana Hunter to come out. Alison golden has brought this character so much life and such a wonderful back story. She is totally likable and yet she is no pushover.
My Recommendation:
I have enjoyed her through Hunted, Snatched and now Stolen. They can each be read as standalone, but why not get to know her better by reading them all.
Where to Find Stolen:
This mystery and suspenseful book is available in Kindle and paperback. You can purchase by clicking the links below.
Shaefer helps people fight their enemies, with the assistance of the police a medical team and a one man war. This thriller, a suspenseful book was compelling and intense and only 19 pages long. The exercise was masterfully written.
This was not what I expected when I was asked to review this book. It is a short story, but a short story that packs a wallop. Great unique plot with the intensity that many books never reach. Great Story Elias.

This review is from: The Path of the Child (Paperback)
Young Melanie Easton got no love from her mother who is fighting her own demons. But Melanie’s life changes dramatically when her classmate Rob gets her a job at a pizza place where he is employed part-time. Melanie had been so lonely that she finds her workplace home. The author is a skillful writer who takes us effortlessly through the many turns and twists in Melanie’s life. What happens to her friendship with the ever-helpful Rob? Well, this is the question that made me finish the book in two days, my other engagements notwithstanding. From the depiction of lifelike characters, one would suspect an autobiographical element in the theme. Five stars as this is the first book by the author.
I am so thankful for this unknown person’s review. I am not sure who aarem is but thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is reviews like this that keeps me writing the sequel to The Path of the Child. I am telling what happened to Melanie and Robert and their amazing friendship. I look forward to announcing that the book is ready for publication in January.
Thank you again, aarem. You have made my day!
