I've just finished reading Watch Over Me by Christa Parrish. I enjoyed this story, the characters and especially her choice of how the deaf boy communicated throughout the story.
I had one major part I disliked....

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS AND PLAN TO--- STOP reading this NOW!!!

POSSIBLE SPOILER!!!!

Toward the end as the couple Ben and Alli move toward mending their relationship there is no indication of them getting real help... just a scene that takes them to bed together. This bothered me terrible. Enough for me to say this book was a good story instead of a great one.

With the problems that both characters faced and the strain it has caused on their marriage I truly believe that they would need some outside help (counseling; pastoral or professional). I was glad that they we set on working to better their marriage, but I felt that mentioning their decision to get help would have made for a much more happier ending.

(I am not saying that we should have attended marital counseling with them, but I would have like to see that they made more effort than just having sex after a long time of not even speaking to each other.)

Just my opinion as a wife and a women who worked in marriage ministry for a while!

Blessings!

Oooh, I've read at least five books by Jack Cavanaugh (probably more like ten but that was years ago) and he is awesome!

I have not ever read Jack Cavanaugh's book so I will have to look him up.

I just finished reading The Knight by Steven James. Its book Three in his Bower Series but can be read alone though I think I would have rather started out with the first two just because this one was so good....Talk about your edgy Christian Fiction...lol...he goes to the edge with his gruesome descriptions that some people might not like.

Jack Cavanaugh is one of my FAVE authors, you should try and read his "Song in the Night" series, very captivating!

I just read Another Way Home by Christa Parrish. I am so impressed by the edgy realness which actually got published--by a new, fresh author. It gives me hope!

I have to admit I was "ready to be mad" at the end, expecting a neat and tidy and sweet sum up where the girl gets the guy and the issues are all resolved and all is well... but Parrish surprised me with an open ending which had NO FANCY BOW on it, but still was... resolved. And a character who was still edgy after conversion (and not sappified!).

Christa wisely chose FP POV for her lead character--if we hadn't been able to see into Sarah's deviant mind, she would have been completely loathsome. I loved her because she was hard and crass and slutty and rude and real.

I would highly recommend this book--I hope I got the title right because it's at home on the night stand I'm at a coffeeshop! Enjoy!

Now I am trying to read Inkheart, but if it doesn't pick up the pace on it I will probably put it to the side. :(
