Reviews of my books always make my day, and Amazon reviews are especially precious because the more reviews a book has, the more likely it is to sell. Between that and the joy of hearing how God used my work to impact a reader…
Yeah. I just really, really love reviews.
So imagine my delight when I discovered yesterday that I had not one, not two, but THREE new Amazon reviews, one for each of my books. All from the same young lady. This turned a tiring day upside down and made it happy! Thank you, dear reader!
I just had to share one of these reviews, the review of Never, because it is quite possibly my favorite review yet for that particular book.
“A quiet little town in the West suddenly becomes not so quiet when a murder is committed. And you wonder who killed who, and you think you have it figured out, and then that person dies too. And then you aren’t sure of anything and so you just settle down and enjoy the wonderfully well crafted mystery that unfolds before you. Two brothers, the younger one is timid, sweet and bright, the older is strong, determined, and has a fierce protecting love for his little brother. I wondered at the book name and cover when I bought the book, what did “never” and water have to do with a western? Kind of everything. 😛
“My sister was blown away by me as I read this story. Because I kept reading it. Everywhere. Even in the restaurant. But it’s soooo good! The story is very compelling and well written, and it never gets boring, though at times you wonder just how many more people are going to die before the story ends! I normally can figure out who the murder is by the halfway point. Not this book. At the halfway point I was chewing my nails and wondering if they would ever get it figured out. Miss Pennington writes in such a way that you can smell the smells the character smells, taste what he tastes, and see what he sees, so there is never a dull moment to be had.
“The strong Christian moral of “never” that runs through the book is what makes this work truly special. Maybe I don’t read enough Christian novels, or maybe the ones that I do have wimpy or nonexistent values, but I found this book to be a refreshing drought of water in a barren land, or…..in a deep, dark coal mine…..”
Thank you, Heather, for blessing me with this review! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the book so much. And rest assured, it won’t be too very long before the third Firmament book is released!
