Missing by Adiva Geffen



First, I want to thank Adiva Geffen for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Adiva Geffen started out her novel Missing right away by grasping the readers attention with the first few lines of the story. New to her writing and story lines I was unsure of what to expect. I knew it was going to be a mystery about a missing girl. I enjoy reading these types of stories. This one did not disappoint.
Advia made you question throughout the book who Davita was and what kind of person she was. Why would she go missing? Why would so many people be so secretive about it? It was the edge of your seat kind of book.

Another's Child by Einat Danon


First, I would like to thank Einat Danan for providing me with this book so I may bring this review.

Another’s Child was written by Einat Danan and translated from the Hebrew by Tali Shilon. This was my first time reading any of her work and was not sure what to expect. However, I knew I loved the write up and the concept of the book. I ended up loving the book.

Einat’s character Noa touched my heart in so many ways though out the book. Such a young girl to go through such a tragedy at such a young age. Plus, she had a hard time coming to terms with it. There were many times in the book I wanted to reach out to her and hug her. Plus, I admit I cried as well many times throughout the book.


In His Love by T.K. Chapin


First, I want to thank TK Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

In His Love by TK Chapin is part of the Diamond Lake Series in where in can be read as a standalone or as part of a series. However, you do see past characters such as Serenah and Charlie. Whom are two of my fave characters. This book is unlike any of his other books TK has written as the focus of the book is not one he has ever addressed before. This time he tackled homosexuality and how it plays a part in today’s society in Christianity. Tackling many of the views (some positive and some negative) that some in society have on the issue. Then also how faith and god play a role into it as well.

This book definitely had a lot of ups and downs to it. You thought you knew where the book was heading but the ending was not at all what you thought it would be. The book in me brought out a lot of emotions in me from sadness there are people in this world who cant accept homosexuality, anger for how the LGBT community treated Billy, peace knowing that Billy found Jesus at the end, upset at the events that took place at his birthday party years ago, thankful for Johns budding friendship with Kate, and John being more understanding of his own gay brother.

One thing I liked most about the book is that Billy’s Mom Jenna never gave up hope that he never committed suicide. She knew in her heart that he could not have taken his own life. She with the help of John was determined to find out what really happened to him. John learned a lot about himself throughout this journey. It made him a better man overall.
