Who’s the real target this Christmas?
Attacked in her barn just before Christmas, Amish quilter Elizabeth Walton doesn’t know why someone wants to harm her. But when gunfire narrowly misses Elizabeth and furniture maker David McKay, the Englischer fears his past has put them both in the crosshairs. David’s determined to protect the pretty widow…but is his presence the real danger? Or is there another motive behind the deadly threats?
Amish Holiday Vendetta by Laura Scott is a page turner. I was quickly
drawn into the story. I liked the main
characters, Elizabeth Walton and David McKay.
They are characters that you will root for. There is mystery and suspense. I enjoyed all the action (you never knew what
would happen next) which kept the story lively.
There is romance (naturally).
Elizabeth and David grow close during this challenging time in their
lives. Elizabeth is a widow who did not
have a happy marriage. The last thing
Elizabeth wants is to marry again.
Elizabeth works hard making and selling her beautiful quilts as well as
doing the chores around the house and taking care of her deceased husband’s
mother (who likes to be waited on).
David is a woodworker who lives like the Amish (without modern
amenities), but he is an Englisher. I
like that we get to catch up with the characters (Shauna and Liam) from Hiding
in Plain Sight. Amish Holiday Vendetta
can be read as a standalone, but you are missing out on a captivating
tale. Elizabeth’s faith is strong while
David’s faith is new. They both trust
God to get them through the difficulty.
I like that they turned to God for assistance in their time of need
(instead of taking matters into their own hands). I loved the ending which left me
smiling. The author combined mystery,
suspense, and romance into one fetching tale.
Amish Holiday Vendetta is an engaging story with a demanding
mother-in-law, a barn break in, perilous shots, a strongminded suitor, a caring
community, and a dreadful discovery.
