Escape from Amsterdam by Lauralee Bliss

This was part of the Heroines of WWII Series and I have read most of the books and really enjoyed them.  I loved that this story was set in Netherlands as that is where our family originally came from.  I also thought that the story of helping children escape from the Nazis sounded so interesting.  


Helen and Erik are drawn together and seek to understand the world as it is changing so much with the Nazis invading the Netherlands.  They each have a very strong faith and depend on that and each other.  I wish that the story would have moved a little faster in the beginning and moved more to the heart of the story.  The Vissers were a very sweet couple and I enjoyed the descriptions of them.  


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

No Romancing the Passengers by Lee Wimmer

 I enjoyed the mystery and suspense in this book.  I also enjoyed the idea behind the cruise and how the passengers all enjoyed each other.   The stuff about dream walking was different for me and gave me something to think about.  There is another book after this one so everything is not tied up neatly at the end.  I enjoyed the characters Miguel, Mike and Willie. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
