Review:

Amy Knackstedt arrives in Weaverly, Kansas in the hope of starting a new life for her three children, Adrianna, Bekah, and Parker. Sadly, her husband, Gabe, had passed away about three ago in a mysterious accident. When the authorities began asking strange questions about Gabe, Amy couldn't handle it and decided that the best thing to do was to move.

The Knackstedt's neighbor is Tim Roper, who just happens to be an ex-Old Order Mennonite himself, but he disliked the Mennonite's beliefs and he is not very thrilled about his new neighbors either. Adriana, Bekah, and Parker try to befriend their new neighbor, but Tim is determined to have nothing to do with anything that reminds him of his childhood.

Review:

In this debut novel by Dani Pettrey, Bailey Craig finds herself returning to her hometown of Yancey, Alaska to attend her aunt's funeral, who died in a plane crash. Coming back home is not easy thing to do as she had a bad reputation of being "easy" when she left. She turned her life around after leaving Yancey and now is a devoted Christian, but forgetting her past mistakes is a difficult thing to do.

While she is grieving for her sudden loss, she runs into an old flame, Cole McKenna. She broke the guy's heart years ago. Cole is now a devoted Christian himself, but he can't come to forgive Bailey for the way she treated him. He owns a successful business with his siblings and he also helps out with the local Search & Rescue crew as a diver.

Two more bizarre deaths occur and Cole suspects that the deaths are related to her aunt's murder. The police then determined that her aunt's plane was tampered with. Bailey and Cole work together to unravel the mystery that is behind the murders, but in order to this they must resolve their feelings for each other.

The Crescent Chronicles is a college age paranormal romance series. Flight takes place the summer before Allie starts her Freshman year, and Focus picks up with her first semester. I love writing about college age characters and I also love to watch movies and TV shows about them.

Here are a few of my favorites.

1) Felicity- I absolutely loved this show when I was in high school. I was so excited about college, and it just hit the spot.

2) Greek- I was out of college already when this one came on, but it was a guilty pleasure. I especially loved the brother-sister dynamic.
