Beyond the Ashes

I received this book from the author/publisher for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

My very favorite book has a setting much like this one, where the town (Chicago) was completely burned to the ground and the characters worked together to bring restoration back to their home, so I thought that I would give this book a try in hopes that it would be as good as my favorite. I was not disappointed at all with Beyond the Ashes and in fact I have a new favorite book as well as a favorite author! Karen Barnett has a beautiful writing style that holds you in place as you read her carefully researched work of art. I absolutely loved her characters and the fact that there is no promise of a “happily-ever-after” just made it that much better. I am going to be (hopefully) buying the first book and can't wait until the next book in this series comes out!

Thank you for reading my review and have a blessed day.
