The Two of Us

Today I am reviewing The Two of Us by Victoria Bylin. This is a brand new book that actually comes out tomorrow. I feel that this book would fit in the category of Christian fiction or Christian romance. With that said, this is a bit of a different genre for me but I was pleasantly surprised.

The story centers around the stories of Mia and Jake. The two of them meet unexpectedly in Las Vegas only to find that they are both there for the same wedding. They work together in the best interest of the bride and the groom and try to help them set up their life together. In the process, Mia is trying to decide what her true calling in life is and Jake is trying to figure out his next step in life after an explosion knocked him out of the police force. Mia and Jake form a slow building relationship amongst themselves and the rest of their families.

The character that is Mia was a bit wishy washy at times and honestly I really wanted to scream at her to make a decision. I however really loved the rest of the characters and the relationships that developed in this novel. I also have to say that I could not put the book down and finished it in one day. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for an uplifting story that is a bit of a tear jerker.



I received a copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for a review.

A List of Cages

I was inspired by the February Bookish Box to read A List Of Cages by Robin Roe. There is an option to receive a book with the box and this was the book that was chosen for the month of February. While I did not receive a book with my box, the title was included with everything else that I received. I have not cried this much over a book in a long time. It is so heartbreaking. I think this story fit very well with the theme of friendship. Julian lost his parents when he was 8 or 9 and was put into foster care with Adam and his mother for 8 months. After that he was taken to a long lost uncle by marriage who was very abusive. Adam and Julian reconnect after Adam is asked by the school psychologist to hang out with him and find out why he is missing class. They end up building a beautiful friendship. Julian who does not feel worthy of anything finds a place among Adam's group. I feel like there were still a lot of loose ends at the ending but it ends on a hopeful note. The story end...

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Raven Cycle

I finally finished the Raven Cycle series! I really loved these books but just didn't have that much time to read in the last week so it took a long time for me to get these up. Even Goodreads was telling me that I was 1 book behind on my reading goal. Guess I need to get on that! These last two, Blue Lily, Lily Blue and The Raven King both by Maggie Stiefvater, were my favorites of the four. I really liked how the story developed for the entire group so they all had a chance to really find their own strengths. It felt like the magical component of the book seemed to grown with each one as well and that just made that even more fascinating. If you are looking for a book about friendships, love and magic then I highly recommend this series!
