 4 stars This book was a quick and easy book to read. I enjoyed that the premise to the story was different from many that I read. I particularly enjoyed the character of Cassie. She is a young lady who is working for the Keim family when their 5 grandchildren move in. Cassie also moves in to help with all of the added responsibilities. She works hard for the family and loves deeply. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

5 stars!! Usually I do not post reviews unless it is a book that I have read through netgalley but I can not be silent on this one! :) The authors ability to tell a story continues to amaze me. Her ability to weave the details in such a way puts a smile on my face. T.I. Lowe is able to put all of the pieces together in such a way that makes the story such an intricate tapestry. The story of the Foster family is one that everyone should read about and is not unique. Each family has something that they may want to keep hidden but as Christians it is so much better to share our story so that others come carry some of that burden. The lessons that I learned Under the Magnolias will stick with me for quite some time! This book is being published by Tyndale House and will release on May 4, 2021 and can be found on Amazon here:   Amazon.com: Under the Magnolias (9781496453617): Lowe, T.I.: Books

 5 stars The SUSPENSE! This book had me turning the pages as quickly AA I could to find out what would happen in the end. It had just the right amount of suspense, relationships and family dynamics in it to make it a great read. At first I thought the cat, Mac, was quirky but by the end I found it quite endearing. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

The quirky detail of his will is that the girls need to work and live together for a year after his death in order to receive their inheritance. But can they do this when the bodies start accumulating all around them? It appears that anyone Charlotte loves could be a target. I particularly enjoyed the character of Mac Taylor.

 4 stars Publication date of April 6, 2021 This book is set in Hope harbor, Oregon. Zach is the owner of The Perfect Blend coffee house. He is intrigued when a female customer comes in who is very evasive. As Kat begins to share more of her story with Zach, she begins to trust him as a friend. This was a sweet story of forgiveness and making difficult career choices. My favorite character was Charley who owned the fish taco stand. He was a wise friend in his many conversations.

 3 Stars Publication date of April 6, 2021 This book had me guessing until the very end on who was involved in the murders! I really enjoyed this aspect of the book, that kept me in suspense until the very end. I became a little tangled up near the end about how everything fit together, there was a little bit too much there for me. I enjoyed the characters of Terra and Jack. There was a lot of history between these two and lots of emotions involved. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.
