Alaska Twilight

Haley has a tragic past and now hides behind her camera, but she's decided that it's time to face the past and heal.  She comes to Alaska on an assignment (two assignments really) only to end up in the middle of intrigue and mystery and secrets.  What really happened the day her parents' cabin burned down?  Was it set?  These and other questions assail Haley as she ventures into a world she never really wanted to return to because the past was too painful.  Can her grandmother and Tank and God help Haley to see that maybe she doesn't need to hide behind a camera anymore?  That life can and will be different?  This book was another delight from Colleen Coble.  She has proven that the U.P. isn't the only locale full of suspense and maybe a little romance.  Why not see the Alaska Twilight for yourself?

Rock Harbor Series

Without a Trace

This book is really good. I came to know Bree's struggles and questions as my own. I think when I fins myself in a storm that I more easily relate to characters in storms. Bree has lost her family and now something horrible has happened in Rock Harbor. She discovers that maybe there's more than meets the eye to people, situations, and circumstances. What a trooper. Bree and her dog Samson are a precious, dynamic duo. I learned so much about rescue dogs - they are incredible. I have a new appreciation for dogs (but I still never want to own one). Read Bree's story - it's got a murder, a lighthouse, two dogs, mystery, a little romance, and God's divine love and care. Pick it up, and I'm sure you won't want to put it down!

Beyond a Doubt

Wow! This book was great too! I am hooked, and there's only one book left in the series. How sad. Bree has stumbled into another situation full of intrigue and danger in this wonderful contribution from Colleen Coble. There's a body in Bree's basement. Who is it? Why is it there? Was the person murdered? So many questions. Someone is watching Bree and Anu. Who is it and why? Follow Bree on another adventure in the U.P. as she clings to her new faith and discovers what is really happening in Rock Harbor. You won't want to put it down, and you'll hope the next one is nearby when you're finished. Coble has written a book worth reading with unexpected twists and turns (but what life isn't full of those?). Pick up Beyond a Doubt and discover how to trust God in the storms of life.
