Plain Missing by Emma  Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although Rachel Mast is no longer Amish she is not fully English either. She still has her roots in the Amish faith and still loves the Amish people. She would do anything for her family she loves. She takes care of a mother going through chemo treatment even though her mother treats her like an outsider making her sit at a separate table to eat. None of her other family treat her this way. Like in the previous three novels she becomes involved in a mystery. This time it involves someone close to home. A young woman and her boyfriend turn up missing after an Amish social. The girl never made it home. What happened to her. To disappear is so unlike her. I love how Rachel and her still Amish younger cousin Mary Aaron work together to solve the mystery but will they endanger their own lives in the process?

I love how the author develops her characters. After already reading four books the characters begin to feel like old friend. They become real. I loved the suspense in the story. It kept me guessing. I did not know who the evil characters were until the end. There were a couple of loose end that were not finished up in this book such as her younger sister's interest in a local boy and Mary Aaron's future. I hope that there will be more books by this author in the future.

True to You by BeckyWade

True to you is book one in the Bradford Sisters. They are are close knit group of sisters who lovingly always get in each other's business. Willow is the oldest and the pretty one, Nora is the middle and the smart one and Brit is the youngest and considered the creative one. This book focuses on Nora, the smart one. This book had a good balance of humor and things that are considered serious matters. Nora was the librarian and ran a museum. I felt like I could identify with her. She like books as I do and she even managed to update her Goodreads progress daily like I try to do. She is immediately attracted to John. But one of the problems is that John has a very sweet girlfriend.Since she knows a little about genealogy she helps John in the search for his birth mother. He has reasons to search for the mother but does not reveal to her quite yet. The more time they spent together the closer they got.

I loved all the characters in the book and am looking forward to reading the other two sister's stories. This book is due to be released on May 2, 2017. Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House for providing me a digital copy of the book to read and review.

Haven of Swans by Colleen Coble

When I requested to review this book I did not realize that I had read it before because it was under a different title. The previous title was Abomination, book four in the Rock Harbor series. I still enjoyed reading it because it had been 10 years and I had forgotten much of the plot. I only remembered bits and pieces and did not even know the outcome.

A young woman and a small child is found on the side of the road by Bree Matthews. The woman has lost all of her memory. She doesn't even know her name. All she knows is that she is in danger. She does not know if it is an angry ex-husband or a stalker. All she knows is that someone is after her.

A killer is on the loose waiting for his next prey. This book is not for the faint of heart. I highly suspect that the author is a fan of Stephen King fiction.  This story kept me engaged and I stayed up late. I grew weary so I finished it the first thing the next morning.  The book under this new title is due to be released on May 2, 2017. Thanks to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for providing me an e-copy of this book to read and review.
