I thoroughly enjoyed this well written novella. Although I am a huge fan of mysteries, I wasn't sure what to expect from this book until I started reading. The author is very gifted. She has a wonderful way of painting a detailed picture with words. I was able to imagine each scene in my head as if I was actually there. This book had its share of suspense, a heartwarming romance, and a bit of religion - just the right amount so that it wasn't overbearing. Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. I was very wrapped up in Trent and Nadia's love story and all of the obstacles they had to overcome from Nadia's past. I was glad when justice prevailed in the end and the young couple's love was able to grow, in spite of all the hurdles they encountered along the way. I can't wait to read more about them in the upcoming sequel.
