I loved this book. It was humorous and very enjoyable. I was really rooting for Adam and Emma through the book. The author lost me in the final chapter. It ruined the whole book for me. I would have accepted the last chapter if there was some follow-thru in the epilogue, but none. It reminded me of the "I'm still baking cookie" line. Some of you will know what I'm talking about.

I could not wait for this book to arrive and was very disappointed once it did. The author brings in more characters than is necessary and describes their entire personal history. Though the description of the book states that it is about a flooding of a town in 1889, this vital event does not occur until page 240 (there are only 258 pages in the book). In fact, the flood is only described for seven pages before the narration is projected into 1917. Therefore, there is little room for any resolution to these characters that the author has so painstakingly described. In addition, the introduction of the characters seemed contrived and almost appeared as character sketches as opposed to three dimensional people. Possibly more upsetting, is the fact that there is potential in this novel to be an epic in historical fiction. However, in its current state, it falls short. www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com

It's great-written book, even if that's only a half-fact story. I enjoy it very much, but it's not very well for someone who is not fond of history.

This was an unusual book. I started reading Lloyd C Douglas because I used to hear my uncle and dad discuss it so much in our house. I was curious to find out what fascinated them. So I started with Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal and got to this one.

So, i read the book. it was a quick and easy read. i'm giving it 3 stars because it's not a great piece of literature, and doesn't fit into my 'normal' type of reading. However, for what it is, a simple horror/ghost novel, it's pretty good. Two sections (each about 10 pages) had some major gore, so I only read the first line of each paragraph, since I'm not a fan of gore and it really didn't add anything to the book.

What I liked: 1) Simon. I adore geeky, studious guys. 2) The location - imagining myself in Maine, where the summer weather is maybe 70 degrees was quite a change from the 110 degrees we're having here in Texas. I loved how vivid and lively the scenery was in the story. 3) Sirens. I'm enjoying branching out on my paranormal creatures. It's not all vampires and wizards anymore. I don't know much folklore about sirens, mostly what you get from The Odyssey, so I found this very enjoyable. 4) Light and easy to read. The book was 344 pages, and I read it in a matter of hours. It was interesting enough that one I dove in, I didn't look up again until I'd finished. What I didn't like: 1) The plot felt a little choppy. There could have been more flow to the overall story. Sometimes I felt like there were just little holes, or skips, and it interrupted the plot. 2) I understood what was going on, but it just seemed like the main characters, Vanessa, Simon and Caleb weren't fully understanding what they were learning at some points. Like in a B movie, you know who the killer is, but the "hero" just walks right into a trap? Overall thoughts: If you love paranormal stories, but want something new, this is the book for you. It's not the general wizards, vampires, faeries, but has thrown a new breed into the mix with the Sirens. There are some fun characters, and it's definitely an intriguing plotline. I have book 2, Undercurrent in my TBR pile, and I'm excited to dig into it. See this and other reviews at Fuzzy.Coffee.Books

Wow...I heard great things about this book, and have read it twice. You will laugh so hard you'll cry during the first page. This book is my #2 favorite of all time. You get sucked into the characters and their surroundings, which alternates between modern Ukraine, WWII-era Ukraine and a third time period that I can only describe as fantastical, magical and sad, sad, sad. Remember the first time you read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and you wished you could slow down your reading in order to make it last as long as possible? That's what I felt in this book too.

Beautifully written, but not for elementary school, like the cover indicates.

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set in Rome and Britain in 64 AD, and continues the story of Decimus, one of the main characters from a previous book by the author, "The Eagle and the Lamb." It's been five years since Decimus was freed from slavery, and he has made his way from Ephesus to Rome. He still searches for a way to leave Rome, which is dangerous for Christians such as himself, and make his way to Britannia to see if his family survived the attack 12 years ago when he was captured, made a slave, and sent to Rome. One day in the city, he comes across a slave auction where a young woman is being sold. For some strange reason, he is desperate to save her from her fate, and uses the money his former master gave him to buy her. The young woman, Chara, is also a Christian, and so Decimus brings her along as he meets a man who can help him leave Rome and return to his homeland. They arrange to go to Britannia as slaves of Galla, a Roman centurion who has converted to Christianity. To protect Chara from unwanted attention, Galla convinces Decimus to marry her. Chara always longed to marry for love but goes along with the plan because Galla convinces her that Decimus will come to love her. The journey to Britannia is long and dangerous with storms and a pirate attack but along the way Chara and Decimus begin to fall in love, but neither knows the other's feelings. They arrive in Britannia and now must contend with harsh winter weather as Decimus searches for his tribe and family. This is a good historical romance and I really enjoyed the setting in ancient Rome and Britain, which is a unique setting in historical romances. The love story between the two main characters was very sweet and believable, and I learned some interesting historical facts from the book as well.

not a bad book - but very anti-climatic. they build up this massive upcoming fight against rasputin - but the fight doesn't live up to the hype... the author was too caught up in the "erotica" portion to focus on the battle
