It is Time for the Grand Finale!

Have I got a beach read for you today! The Alaskan Quest series by Tracie Peterson is full of suspense, romance, and action. Today I am featuring Whispers ofWinter. Book three of the series. You can find the review for Summer of the Midnight Sun which is book one of the series here.

Synopsis:

Leah Kincaid and Helaina are waiting to hear back from Jayce Kincaid and Jacob Barringer.   Jayce is Leah’s husband and Jacob her brother.  Helaina wants a relationship with Jacob but does he?  At the end of book two Jayce and Jacob finally got a chance to go to the Arctic. One problem this trip has become rife with problems and it left them stranded on an island out in the Arctic Ocean. Leah prays for their safe return to their family. Karen and Adrik (Leah and Jacob’s adoptive parents) come to visit.   While they are visiting, Leah finally gets new about the safe return of Jayce and Jacob. Adrik suggests that they return to Last Chance Creek  to work for the railroad. This move comes with a tragedy. How will this affect Karen and Adrik’s family? How will Leah and Jacob’s families be impacted?

My Thoughts:

I enjoyed Whispers of Winter. Tracie Peterson has a way of keeping readers interested in her characters by challenging them throughout the book.  Leah and Helaina waiting for word of whether Jayce and Jacob survived a number of incidents.  My only disappointment was the tragedy that happened early in the story.  The loose ends were tied up, but I felt that the story should have ended sooner. The story did have lots of action and suspense.

I have always enjoyed Tracie’s books and will highly recommend them. This series was full of themes of family, love, patience, and hope.

Rating:

4/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
