2) Color. I'm calling this one emerald. Child of the Mist

Hi Lisa!To me, it was pretty bad. I was told that the next book is much better and that the author fixed a lot of issues. I left a review and hid the spoilers. There were a lot of things I couldn't quite wrap my head around. Insta-love and weak characters were my biggest issue.
One of the other reviewers told me she likes to think this book doesn't exist. LOL! Apparently, the rest of the series she gave 4 or 5 stars. Writers grow over time, so who knows. I wish I had started with book 2 myself!

Hey Michelle!If you're looking for a read to fill the Mother's day category, you might try Lily Graison's "A Willow Creek Christmas". Yes, it's Christmas, but it is about a single mother of 3 who is taken in by a former confederate soldier. It is sooo good. Its part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone.
Fyi...If you have a nook account, it's eligible for a 2 week loan. I have it. Just send me a pm if your interested.
Thank you Becky for the recommendation... I think I'm just going to finished it, I'm already 38% in it... I'll check out the one you are recommending... thanks again... :)

Great job Nikki. Love these reading challenges but it's like the satisfaction you get when finishing a school assignment early, LOL.

I never, ever finished an assignment early. I needed that adrenaline rush by finishing everything just-in-time. LOL
