A Shelter in the Storm

I love Debra White Smith's "Seven Sisters" series. This book has a good mix of romance and suspense. The story of Sonsee & Taylor was compelling and kept my interest all the way through. The killer was not easily identified, it was a surprise to me.I enthusiastically recommend this whole series. You won't be disappointed.

I read Shelter in the Storm, not knowing it was one of a series, but enjoyed it immensely. Unlike some other series books by other authors, Ms. Smith has made this story stand alone. We meet the other people in the series, whom I am sure have their own books, but this story is totally about Sonsee and Taylor. I loved the suspense, the mystery, and the romance woven into the mix. Ms. Smith juggles all these parts with skill and an entertaining manner. You'll keep turning pages to find out how it all ends. Warning though, if you read this one, you'll want to read ALL the others! Thanks you, Ms. Smith, for an entertaining (but sleepless night as I had to find out the ending) book.

Having already read books 1 and 2 of Debra White Smith's Seven Sister series and loved them, I came to A Shelter in the Storm with high expectations and wasn't disappointed. As she has done with the first two books of the series, Debra has shown how imperfect Christians deal with the uncertainties of life and how their faith helps them to become overcomers. Sonsee struggles with her growing feelings of love for her life-long friend, Taylor, because he cannot allow himself to love her. The story is not only a romance, but also a tale of suspense that leaves the reader hanging on every word, not knowing who done it until the very end. God's redeeming love is shown as both Sonsee and Taylor comes to terms with their faith and the misconceptions about it that threaten to keep them apart. The Seven Sisters series is wonderful...each a unique story unto itself. I find myself wishing it were more than seven sisters. There are only two left :-).

I found the first book in this series by accident. I love how Debra White Smith has taken seven unlikely women and intertwined there lives together. They are always there for each no matter what happens. I have enjoyed this series so much that I check weekly to see when the next one will be coming. Keep up the good writing.
