litfuse blog tour and review “Firefly Island” by Lisa Wingate

February 27, 2013 Amy Fowler

At the age of 34, congressional staffer Mallory Hale is about to embark on an off-the-map journey. After she finds herself swept up in a whirlwind romance, she is hopelessly in love with two men… but fortunately, they are father and son, a package deal and she cannot imagine her future without either of them.

Mallory was shocked when Daniel asked her to marry him, move to Texas, and form a family with him and his son. The idea was exciting and terrifying all at the very same time.

But Mallory does take that leap of faith and begins a sweet and mishap-filled journey to Moses Lake, Texas. Despite the wild adventure that is her life, she has a lot of questions about the town and the situation they are in. Can she find all the answers on Firefly Island, a chunk of property off the lakeshore where the mysterious lights glisten at night?

Not being a stranger to Lisa Wingate, it was super exciting to get to read and review this anticipated new novel of hers. I was first introduced to Lisa’s writing while browsing through the library and looking for Christian publishers in various sections. I was looking for a specific author that day and happened upon Lisa’s Talk of the Town series, and after that I was hooked! Her writing is amazing, though I haven’t kept up with every work she’s created since then. But she is still one of my favorites. “Firefly Island” certainly did not disappoint at all. I was expecting this to just be a regular, light-hearted novel, but it surprised me with an incredible element of suspense. I couldn’t put this down cause the constant surprises made it all the more appealing. I’m sure others will enjoy that aspect as well. It looks at first as if it will just be a nice beachy type of novel, but it really takes off with all of the mystery and suspense! I loved it! Great read, and you should definitely check it out now, especially if you haven’t read any of Lisa’s work before. Now go read this great novel!
