Review of 'Rules of Murder' by Julianna Deering

I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.


Rules of Murder definitely reminded me of an Agatha Christie novel - it had me on the edge of my seat.

There is mystery, murder, romance, and even a bit of humor in the pages of this book. I could have sworn from the beginning that I knew what had happened and even the characters slowly got to what I thought I had figured out in the first third of the book.

However, I was wrong! The real murderer was one I never expected! Stumping me is not all that easy to do and I am very pleased to say that Julianna managed to do it!

The only complaint I have is that the romance seemed to almost take over the book 3/4 of the way through - it felt like the mystery slipped back a bit. However, this was quickly fixed for the ending was a crazy burst of mystery!

All in all, I loved it! Drew is very charming and I liked the parts about God that was thrown into the mix. If this is going to be a series, I am definitely reading the rest! Keep the mystery coming Julianna and never stop trying to stump the readers!

5 out of 5 stars!

Review of 'Aquifer' by Jonathan Friesen

I tried, truly I did. I got to the third chapter before I quit. It was just too odd for my tastes. I am not going to give it a real review since I didn't finish it - sorry. I passed it on to my sister in hopes that she will like it more.
