Woah... With the title of 'Silly Feeling', this detail-rich story was anything but silly. When I read words like 'church camp' and 'crush', I was expecting a light-hearted story about a couple teenagers.
But I was wrong.
This story was deep and heartfelt, moving and fast-paced. Although it's great as a short-story, I think this could've also been a fabulous novel. :) All the characters were fun and felt realistic. Nick and Morgan were my favorites – Nick's story *almost* made me cry. :') Hannah was a great character too, and I'm dying to know if she was right in her thoughts on her 'rescuer'... ;)
The storyline of the arson did creep me out, to be perfectly honest. But I also found it interesting. I applaud Miss Willowy for tackling that difficult subject and I think she pulled it off really well. Also, I felt like the storyline of Marti and Taylor was a bit unnecessary. But since it didn't conflict with my enjoyment of the rest, I was able to deal with it. ;)
All in all, this was an exciting story! :D
**I received a free e-copy of this story from the author in exchange for my honest review.**
This sounds like a good book!
ReplyDeleteI've never read any books by this author before. Are her books usually pretty good?
It was! :D
DeleteYes, they really are. I've now read all but one or two of her books/short-stories and enjoyed them all. :) This was probably my least favorite so far, actually. Willowy's 'Hills of Innocence trilogy' (so far only "The Innocent" and "The Letter" are available) is really good western-y mysteries with some romance too. ^_^ They do have some violence, and "The Letter" was pretty graphic and dark in some parts, but they're strongly Christian books as well. :) And then I also liked "This Hostile Land" which I reviewed a few months ago. ;)
