Book Review: The Staircase of Fire (Shakertown Adventure #3) by Ben Woodard
Intense and evocative…
Deeply engrossing and poignant, Woodard’s third in Shakertown Adventure series is designed to take the reader on a though-provoking journey through a time in a small southern town in America when personal dreams and misfortunes were determined by the color of a person’s skin. Set in the 1920s America, Woodard blends fiction and history to fashion a marvelous coming-of-age story. Struggling with his inner demons, fourteen-year-old Tom Wallace hates everything about his life in Kentucky, a quiet southern town, but a brutal racial killing makes things utterly unbearable for him. Getting his hands on a lost gold treasure hidden somewhere in the town becomes more than a necessity after he finds himself completely alienated from others. But the escape doesn’t bring him much desired peace. After leaving everything behind, Tom realizes that he is unable to evade his inner demons. To make peace with his own conscience, Tom must make a difficult decision. Woodard’s narrative buzzes with authoritative confidence and an inviting tone as he brilliantly mingles the mundane with the thought-provoking. There are a multitude of characters that Woodard ....full review on website.

.Book Review: Bitterwood Commons by Marieke Mitchell
A gripping tale…
Mitchell interweaves tangled history of people and places and explores the way lives of real people can evolve into the stuff of legends over time in her engrossing time-travel historical debut. Tragic death of Emma Barker’s young son leaves her depressed and completely dependent on antidepressants. While sorting through antiques purchased by the auction company she jointly owns with her ex-husband, Emma comes across a sapphire necklace and a box of love letters dating back to the turn of the century. As Emma reads the letters, she becomes obsessed with the sender of the letter. Her fascination with letters takes her first to a small town in rural Indiana and later to more than a century back in time. As Emma’s life becomes entangled with Natalia Kappan, a beautiful, troubled woman, painful memories and horrendous secrets come to surface that threaten to destroy the sanity of both Emma and Natalia and leave lives of many innocent people in peril. The story’s central mystery focuses on the tragic secrets associated with the troubled condition of Natalia in the past century, Emma’s part in the haunted love story, the identity of the murderer who committed the vicious murder in the town, and final shocking revelations. But lives united by a shared experience of trauma and loss stay at the central core of the novel. Mitchell also explores “love” in its purest form—both a romantic love and love between parents and children. Mitchell’s plotting is excellent, and her finely sketched characters are easy to connect to and highly believable. Emma as a distraught mother is as convincing as Natalia with all her sufferings and her past...full review on website.
