My Thoughts

I can't sing enough praises for this entire series!

I read the first three books a while back.  They quickly became some of my favorites.  So, then I received the request to read the next three, I certainly jumped at the opportunity!

These books have all been so well-written.  The character building amazes me!  When you read a book that makes you feel like you are in it, like you know the characters, that is a great book!

Thank you again, Roy Griffis, for writing these books and for introducing them to me!  I love them and I highly recommend them!

*Note: I received copies of these books in exchange for honest reviews.
