I love finding new to me authors and being able to read a good Christian fiction book. Recently I found an author I haven’t read before and she was looking for influencers for a new book in a new series she was launching (which is today February 6). One word ~ Wow! I am so glad to have found Connilyn Cossette and read her latest novel, A Light On The Hill.
I love reading Christian fiction and have read from several authors over the years, but have never found an author that could hook me from the first page, but Connilyn has managed to do just that.
About the book: Moriyah, who had been taken captive in Jericho seven years ago and was branded with the mark of the Canaanites gods, is trying to find peace with God in her life. The mark causes her to hide behind veils, Moriyah hides and doesn’t socialize. Because of this, she has not had any thoughts about marriage…until now. Her father has found someone who is willing to marry her. She will cook and be a mother to the motherless sons of this man. But when things go horribly wrong, Moriyah is forced to leave her home and head to a city of refuge. It is not an easy journey fleeing to the city of refuge. She encounters many dangers along the way.
My thoughts: This was the first book I have read that is written by Connilyn Cossette and it is not my last (I've already ordered the 1st book in her 1st series). This book is a Biblical fiction and you can tell from reading the book that much research was done. Connilyn has actually visited the Biblical cities that she is writing about. Although there may be some parts that are not true to what would have happened during that time (I don't want to give anything away), I realized that this is a fictional story and the details are added to help tell the story.
If Moriyah was a real person, I would have wanted her for a friend. She is a great woman of character and finds out how to trust in God again after being through so much. I really loved everything about this book, the people, the places, and just everything. This is a great book if you are looking for a clean romance Biblical Christian fiction book.
I cannot wait for the second book in this new series to be released. Connilyn has me hooked!
