Review: Silent Night/Holy Night - Christmas Novellas - Colleen Coble - October 2014

Colleen Coble delivers a festive treat of mystery and romance in Silent Night, Holy Night, a heartwarming duo of Christmas novellas featuring beloved characters from two of her most popular series. This collection is a perfect seasonal read for fans of inspirational fiction, combining suspenseful plots with messages of faith, love, and resilience.

In Silent Night, we return to Rock Harbor with Bree Matthews and her loyal search-and-rescue dog, Samson. As Bree and her husband Kade prepare for a cozy holiday, a call comes in about a missing parachuter near the icy shores of Lake Superior. Bree and Samson head into the snow-covered woods, racing against time and the elements to uncover the truth especially since it looks like it involves Kade's sister Laurie. The wintry atmosphere adds an extra layer of tension and beauty to this fast-paced mystery, and fans of the Rock Harbor series will appreciate catching up with familiar faces during the festive season.

The second story, Holy Night, follows Leia and Bane, who are on the verge of celebrating their long-awaited Christmas wedding. However, a sinister phone call claiming Leia’s sister who has a disability has been kidnapped sends their plans into a tailspin. Under the weight of a devastating ultimatum—cancel the wedding or risk her sister’s life—Leia must choose between secrecy and trust. The emotional turmoil, combined with the backdrop of a romantic beachside Christmas, creates a gripping story of faith, sacrifice, and enduring love.

Both novellas are tightly written, with Coble’s signature blend of suspense and heartfelt romance. The Christian themes are gently woven throughout, enhancing the emotional stakes without overpowering the storylines. While the brevity of each tale means character development is somewhat limited, readers already familiar with these series will find comfort and depth in returning to these well-loved protagonists.

Silent Night, Holy Night is a perfect addition to any holiday reading list, offering just the right mix of cozy charm and edge-of-your-seat thrills.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: The Hoodie Girl - Yuen Wright - August 2021 Now and again, I will come across a book that I have never heard of and the author is also unknown to me and I will give them a go.
