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

I know I can always depend on a book by Colleen Coble to keep me reading well into the night and Strands of Truth<\/strong> was no exception. Her unique approach to DNA and family ancestry testing made me rethink my desire to have mine tested. I always thought it would be interesting to find out more about my ancestry but this novel offers a whole new twist of what could happen if the wrong relatives learned of your existence.<\/p>\n

The heroine, Harper Taylor never knew her mother or father and grew up in foster homes where she always longed for a family. When she discovers a half-sister through DNA testing, both of them beyond excited to get to know each other. However a number of attempts to abduct both women as well as attacks on a man close to Harper send them on a mission to discover the truth behind them.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed every minute of this suspense packed novel that contained one unexpected twist after another. I had a pretty good idea of the person behind everything before the end but the motives came as a total surprise. Strands of Truth<\/strong> is a riveting novel featuring complicated relationships as well as great suspense. It also didn’t hurt that the development of a romance was included.<\/p>\n
