The Lightkeeper's Bride (#02 in A Mercy Falls Novel Series)

3. 5 Stars\\r\\n\\r\\nThis book is the second in the Mercy Falls collection, it has been written well. However, I found that it was quite predictable. With the few little surprises that this book has, I still found it fairly enjoyable to read. Will Katie follow her heart or her head? Will she let go of her control and allow God to lead? Will Katie finally find the peace she has been searching for and finally let go of the fear that is dictating her life? Well I am not going to answer that, if you want to find out you are just going to have to read the book.

When Central Operator Katie Russell answers the call of duty, she not only awakens the call of her heart, but also the dangers that are destined to follow. Overhearing a conversation between her friend Eliza and a familiar male voice, Katie is reluctant to just let the matter past; especially since it is connected to Eliza's disappearance and she might just have the clue needed to figure the whole mystery out. However, a small pox epidemic breaks out, leaving Katie in the care of the new lighthouse keeper Will Jasperson. Together they form an alliance to figure the whole situation out. However it is not as it seems. \\r\\n\\r\\nColleen Coble does a fantastic job at introducing various twists, ones that I personally would never have come up with, which makes this book one to really enjoy because they realy highlight the suspense. Also, the romantic character development between Katie and Will is one I truly enjoyed. Romance is one of the main genres I love to read, and this book hits the mark, especially based on the fact that she is expected to marry Bartholomew Foster, but has feelings for Will, making their moments together ones to treasure. \\r\\n\\r\\nOn a more spiritual note, Katie learns that God is the answer to peace, one that she has been longing so have. Personally, I believe this aspect is important to be continuously reminded of, especially with our busy lives. \\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, this is one book that can't be missed.
