Review of Gone South by Meg Moseley

Tish McComb, 35, and unmarried, is living in an apartment in Michigan. She loves vintage clothing and family history and is interested in the old house her great, great, great grandparents lived in. She travels to Noble, Alabama just to see the house. It is for sale and now is the best opportunity to see the inside even if she is not interested in buying it. But, when she walks through the door she makes a decision that changes her entire life. 

She moves to Noble with great expectations to find that she is not welcome because she is a McComb. Why are the McCombs hated in the town? Why are the towns people shunning her for something she had nothing to do with and knew nothing about?

Then Mel enters the picture. A young woman who is homeless even though her parents live in Noble. Thrown out of her parents house, cold , and hungry she happens to run into Tish who offers her a place to stay. Then Tish finds out that Mel is not trusted by anyone in town. Why? Has Tish made a huge mistake in offering Mel shelter? 

George Zorbas and his uncle Calv are the only ones who befriends Tish and doesn’t hold her ancestry against her. He also tries to help Mel hoping he hasn’t made bad decision. 

And then we have the other player in this story. The Corvette, or as Mel calls it the “vette”

I never like to say anything negative about a book but I had a problem with the ending. 

 In my opinion, there should have been one more chapter to bring closure to all the antics Mel is into and the towns hatred of the McComb name. The Epilogue would then have made more sense to me.  

Other than that, it was a good read and I enjoyed the book.

Review of Nightshade by Ronie Kendig

Ronie Kendig is one of my favorite authors. I hope you enjoy the review.



Nightshade

Ronie Kendig

Nightshade is the first book in the Discarded Heroes series by Ronie Kendig.

A former Navy Seal, fighting PTSD, Max Jacobs and his wife Sidney are struggling in their marriage. Running from the anger and the demons that are ruining his marriage and his life he takes on  secret Black Ops assignments.

In the meantime, Sidney is a reporter and a story has surfaced about terrorists killing villagers and a mysterious group that shows up to save them. She is following the leads to find out who is saving the villagers. Suddenly she finds someone wants her to stop looking into this story or else,  but she persists in going ahead. This is where I, as a reader, want to reach out and shake some sense into her. Why does she keep going? Where will it lead her? Doesn’t she realize she could be killed? And, as always I have to keep reading to see what happens because Ronie keeps dangling the carrot in front of me. (Which is why I enjoy her books. J)

Will Max and Sidney work out all the problems of their marriage? Will she get the biggest story of her life and get a boost in her career? Will Max learn to trust God?

 Well, I know all the answers now, but if you want to know you will have to read the book. My lips are sealed!
