The Sound of Light // Book Review

 

About the Book:

When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden.

American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to leave Copenhagen and abandon her research--her life's dream. While printing resistance newspapers, she hears stories of the movement's legendary Havmand--the merman--and wonders if the mysterious and silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse has something to hide.

When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes, these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in silence. Bestselling author of more than a dozen WWII novels, Sarah Sundin offers pens another story of ordinary people responding to extraordinary circumstances with faith, fortitude, and hope for a brighter future.

My Review:

The Sound of Light was another good World War II book by Sarah Sundin. 

It did take me a little bit to get into the story but after a while things started making more sense and I was following along better, though at times I found it hard to stay engaged. 

There were some mentions of torture towards the end that made me not enjoy it as much as I had been up until that point. 

At the end we did get to briefly see some of the characters from Sarah Sundin’s last two books, so that was fun!

Cold Light of Day // Book Review

 

About the Book:

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.

As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

My Review:

Unfortunately Cold Light of Day was a miss for me. I thought the book sounded good and the setting of Alaska was great, but this one just wasn’t for me. 

I had a hard time staying engaged in the story even though it’s a suspense book. 

So while I definitely think some people would enjoy this book, it just wasn’t for me. 

This was my first book by Elizabeth Goddard but I will probably still give some of her other books a try.
