Christmas novella by Terri Blackstock
Catching Christmas
by Terri Blackstock
Terri Blackstock writes a light-hearted, feel -good
Christmas story that is a distinct change from her If I Run series. She does include her trademark character development,
her tongue-in-cheek humor and a plot twist, too. It was a quick, enjoyable read and will
delight her regular readers if they want to take a break and curl up with a cup
of cocoa and this book during a hectic Christmas season. I received a free copy from the publisher for
this, my honest opinion.

More great Biblical Fiction from Connilyn Cossette
Shelter of the
Most High by Connilyn Cossette
This is the author’s second in the Cities of Refuge
series. Main characters include Moriyeh,
Darek, Eitan and Raviv from the previous book.
New characters include Sofea and Prezi.
The story resumes from the first book some years later as Eitan is a
grown man. He meets and (spoiler alert!)
falls in love with Sofea. Of course, any
love story has complications, as does this one, including some plot twists that
I did not see coming.
I liked everything about this book: the characters, the plot, the setting, and
the writing style! The author did not
disappoint. The characters were
interesting and multi-faceted. I grew to
love them. The plot definitely kept me
reading and had some surprises. The
setting was fascinating—I had never thought of a biblical city of refuge as a
prison. The writing style was clear and
fluid, carrying the reader along deeper into the story.
In short, I heartily recommend this book. Although the reader will have a deeper
understanding of Moriyeh, Darek and Eitan by reading the previous book, the
author gives enough background that a reader can jump in to this book and still
enjoy it. But I do think that once this
book is read, the reader will definitely want to put the next book in this
series on their TBR pile.
I received this book as a gift from the author and publisher
and was not required to write a positive review. The thoughts and opinions are my own.
