Review by Rebekah Bobb
Girl in Blue is a historical fiction that takes
place during the Civil War. It follows Sarah who
escapes a horrible family situation and runs away to
join the army disguised as a boy. Throughout the story she must navigate the army life and keep her identity a secret. After an unexpected encounter with a detective she is drawn into mystery, spies, and intrique. This novel is an engaging and fast paced historical adventure! I would give it 7/10 starts and suggest this read to anyone who enjoys
a good adventure!
Vienna Prelude is the
first book in the Zion Covenant
series. It is a historical fiction novel that
takes place before and during WWII. It follows
Elisa Lindheim, a Jewish/German violinist with the Vienna
Philharmonic orchestra. When Nazi darkness descends on her homeland
she must seek the help of an American journalist John Murphey when her father, Theo gets arrested by the gestapo. There are those who stay to fight the madness on this adventures novel the underground workings of the underground that work to save Jewsish families and take them to safety.
Will Elisa stay and help or will she flee under a false identity? If you
enjoy mystery, adventure, and romance you are sure to enjoy this
first book in a series of nine. I rate this book 9/10 and highly
suggest reading not only this book but each
one after as it builds the characters and
adds new relatable characters.
