MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Moonstone Secrets” is the second book in a series but can easily stand on its own. DeeDee McCreary has traveled to Victoria, BC to meet her boyfriend Nick’s family and is hoping for a proposal but there are problems from the very beginning. When Nick disappears, DeeDee sets out on her own to find him and discovers some disturbing answers. Nick has been arrested for a serious crime and DeeDee must decide if she believes he is guilty or if she should help prove his innocence.<\/p>\n

This book is a riveting suspense filled with mystery and danger as well as the expected romantic angle. Character development is excellent and the plot moves at a fast pace. DeeDee and Nick are both worldly people living without faith and are living their lives as would be expected. It is satisfying to watch as they discover a need for God in the midst of their critical circumstances.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed “Moonstone Secrets” as well as the first book of the series, “Sapphire Secrets”.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Christmas season sparkles around her, DeeDee McCreary eagerly anticipates visiting magical Victoria, BC, with her boyfriend, Nick, and meeting his family. But the trip proves disastrous. First, Nick finds his bank account cleaned out. Then he disappears. Frantic, she determines to uncover what happened. When she discovers something far worse than she anticipated, she questions everything she believes to be true about him.<\/p>\n

With the man she loves in jail for an unspeakable crime, DeeDee knows the truth lies somewhere in Nick and his ex-wife\u2019s past. But if she pursues their secrets, will she put herself in danger, too?<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Author Dawn V. Cahill<\/strong> pens \u201cStories of Victorious Faith for the 21st Century,\u201d nearly always with\u00a0a crossword puzzle,\u00a0sudoku, or\u00a0dark chocolate nearby.\u00a0\u201cThe characters in my stories face situations that would have been unthinkable even 20 years ago. We live in a vastly different world than our parents did, and that\u2019s the world I write about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing an unfilled niche in the Christian fiction market, Ms Cahill created\u00a0Hot Topic Fiction<\/strong> at an intensive four-day writers conference. HTF<\/strong> isn\u2019t afraid to explore the question, how does God want us to live out our faith in this not-so-brave new world? Without insulting the reader by offering pat or easy answers\u2013because there aren\u2019t any\u2013HTF tells stories of\u00a0ordinary Christians following hard after Christ\u00a0in an upside-down world.<\/p>\n

Ms. Cahill also blogs about puppies, substance abuse, and single parenting\u2026sometimes all in the same day.\u00a0She\u2019s going\u00a0to finish that novel she started at age 11 called Mitch and the Martians\u2026someday. She has written\u00a0several newspaper articles, three Christian contemporary novels, and more\u00a0limericks than she can\u00a0count. Email her at dawn@dawnvcahill.com, or find her on Facebook. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW).<\/p>\n
