About the Book

Newport, Rhode Island

July 1, 1888

I love Jesus, my husband, and my daughter. I love reading and reviewing Christian and Clean fiction. And, I am a high school English teacher trying to get kids to fall in love with reading every day!

  1. Very humorous first line! “Phame fingered the White pawn and opened the Tor browser from a USB drive. It took a minute to scroll through the sites before finding the right one on the dark web.” ~From Counter Attack by Patricia Bradley (I got an ARC from Netgalley!) 😊

  4. Love Jen, that was a super book!
    My book this week is The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright
    Chapter One Daisy Francois April 1870

    The castle cast its hypnotic pull over any passerby who happened along to find it, tucked derp in the woods in a place where no one would build a castle, let alone live in one.

    1. Paula! You will be so proud of me. I purchased Jaime Jo’s book so I can read it. Her genre terrifies me, but I love her so I am going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing the first line. I am really excited to read it! Oh, and happy Easter weekend, my friend!
