Healing and Hope in the Midst of Stife

December 14, 2015 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Do you ever feel like life has beaten you down to the point you just want to hide from the world? Do you want to run away from your past and forget everything?

In Reviving Jules by Peggy Trotter, one woman does exactly that.

Reviving Jules by Peggy Trotter 300

Jules Summers has fled from everything and everyone familiar. Determined not to be found and to just survive, she settles in a small town in Indiana. Needing something to keep her mind busy, she searches for ways to fill her free time. And then one day, a little girl shows up in her yard to look at the fish.

Andi Carsen and her father, Rhett strike up an unlikely friendship with Julie. As Rhett continues to come to the rescue, Jules fights for her independence. Why, oh why, can’t she do anything on her own? And will she ever wake up without tears?

reviving jules quote

Can two people, with the help of an entertaining, energetic, and observant little girl, heal and obtain a life full of hope?

Trotter creates a world that draws the reader in. One where you will want to hug Jules one minute and shake her to tell her to wake up and look around her the next. The addition of Andi Carsen brings many laughs and smiles to a story that is sometimes filled with the hard truths of life.

This one is definitely one to add to your TBR pile!!

Available online.

Beast of Stratton by Renee Blare

Determined to find out what happened to her father, Aimee Hart accepts a secretarial position at Stratton Industrial, the large engineering firm where she last knew her father to be. In her attempt to discover the truth, she is thrust into the company of Miles Stratton, the head of the company and a man who is trying to overcome both Post Traumatic Stress from his recent return from the war and the betrayal of the man he considered his best friend. As the two work together to discover the truth of what happened to Aimee’s father and who is trying to destroy Stratton Industries.

Fast paced with enough mystery to keep you up until the end, the mysteries inside Stratton Industries are many and keep the story moving along. Miles Stratton is mystery in himself as is what is going on with the company and who Miles can trust within his own company. I had my doubts about a few people throughout the book. Because the majority of the book takes place over a one-night time span, there it moves along nicely. There were a couple of things brought up in the book that I would have liked to see explored a little more, but it doesn’t take away from the story. In fact, it made me keep thinking about what those things meant.

If you’re looking for a quick suspense read with an element of intrigue and romance, consider Renee Blare’s debut novel. The Kindle edition is even on sale right now at Amazon (be sure to double check the price).
