Book Review: Lady in the Mist

Because I work at a bookstore, I have access to a lot of books. I'm also part of the NetGalley.com site which provides me with advanced copies of books I'm interested in reading, in exchange for a review. Many of these books I've read one way or another.

I got this ebook for free from the Nook store. 



Lady in the Mist by Laurie Alice Eakes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Genre: Christian Fiction

I've always liked the historical period of the early United States. I was obsessed with it in middle school. I really liked the notion that this woman lived by the sea, and also let her hair down and walked bare feet at times! It made her real to me. The love story was sweet, and I liked seeing their love develop.

What I didn't like: I often got confused as to Dominick's age. Without the author stating how old he was, I couldn't decide if he was 20 or 30. He just didn't seem super mature to me most of the time, even in his love life. I couldn't get a good grasp of his character. I found Tabitha a good character and was anxious to see who she chose. I wanted to Gibbs-slap Raleigh on the back of the head. Many times. I also didn't care for all the Bible-thumping of the story. It wasn't as bad as some of the others I've read, but I always skipped over all of it. I prefer all the morals sans preaching in this type of novel. I don't mind mentioning going to church, or a short description of that sermon topic, but leave it at that. All the breaking down because of turning away from God makes me roll my eyes.

Overall though, it was a fairly good book.
