A Dim Reflection 

Celebrate Lit Book Tour

My thoughts:

I love a good book which I’m sure you’ve noticed if you’ve read my blog long.  Reading is something I enjoy and it brings me great joy and some much needed quiet time.  Because of this, I don’t finish books that I don’t enjoy.  This book was such a good and quick read that it felt like it ended within minutes.

The characters made me fall in love with them.  At times I felt like the main female Charlotte was silly and naive, but then I remembered the author placed her at 16 and that’s probably right for her age.  Within the book, I was pleasantly surprised at the knowledge that was given and the clear picture of salvation that was shown.

I loved meeting characters but do feel that this is a series and it should be read in order.  Personally, I had not read book one and I think it might have made certain things clearer like who Anna is and how she is a part of the story.  Even without this knowledge, it is still a very good read.

Since I am now the mother of teenage girls I filter a lot through the lens of would this be okay for my teen daughter?  I would allow my daughter to read this book.  There are no scenes that make me think this would be a bad read.  It’s a quick read and it has a good message.  I don’t feel it had the depth of other books I’ve read but it was entertaining and I don’t regret reading it.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.  All opinions expressed are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations. 

Back Cover Copy for A Dim Reflection:  

William Caverly can’t seem to understand the unsettling feeling that has been nagging him for far too long. Memories of a baby sister are forever haunting his waking hours, and as he sleeps at night, he is repeatedly awakened by nightmares, confusing ones that he’d rather forget. His baby sister died. He saw her little body laid to rest beside their mother. But that doesn’t explain the dim remembrance he has of an event that happened not too long after that.  

Charlotte Porter’s days are full and busy as she diligently teaches her young art students at her mother’s boarding school, and tries desperately to stay away from an annoying suitor. Painting has been her passion and dream ever since she could hold a brush, but lately, she has begun to question her mission and calling in life. What is her real purpose? And why does she know so little about her father, who supposedly died before she was born? 

William thinks he’s discovered the hidden link that has kept him from his sister for over fifteen years. But then she’s kidnapped, leaving William no choice except to find her and get her back. Once and for all.
