Looking for a new book to read? I recently read and endorsed these three novels, and today I simply want to recommend them to you!
Children of the Shadows by Erica Vetsch
A multilayered Regency-era mystery with unexpected twists, appealing characters, sweetly satisfying romance, and an ending worth waiting for!”
Erica’s new book releases soon (October 10, 2023) but it’s available for pre-order now.
Carrie Turansky’s new split-time novel releases soon as well (September 26, 2023). And what a beautiful cover it has!
Filled with romance, family secrets, and forgiveness, Carrie Turansky’s dual-time novel, The Legacy of Longdale Manor, will stir your faith—and your desire to visit England’s Lake District!”
The Legacy of Longdale Manor by Carrie Turansky
P.S. The lovely pink rose tea cup and spoon were a gift from a member of a favorite book club. 🙂
Friend Michelle Griep’s latest novel released on June 1, 2023, and it would make a fantastic, atmospheric read for misty Autumn evenings. Plus, although part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
Man of Shadow & Mist (Of Monsters and Men #2) by Michelle Griep
Near to the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey, spirited librarian Rosa Edwards meets an unexpected hero—the masculine and mysterious Sir James Morgan—who guards his heart as carefully as the secrets darkening his soul. As the two are drawn together, local superstitions and enemies conspire to keep them apart. Filled with vivid writing, romance, danger, and faith, this novel is not to be missed.”
I hope one of these novels appeals to you. Let me know in the comments if you have (or plan to) read any of these three. And either way, what are you currently reading? I’d love to hear your book recommendations as well!

I have Erica Vetsch’s on my list. That series is great!
I’m currently reading Becca Kinzer’s Dear Henry, Love Edith. My sister finished it the other day and said she hasn’t laughed that hard over a book in forever so I immediately bumped it to the top! I’ve been in the mood for funny books lately and this is proving to be just the ticket.
I read Man of Shadow and Mist and loved it! I am looking forward to reading both of the others!
I look forward to reading all of them!
Hi Julie, thanks for sharing The Legacy of Longdale Manor and for your kind endorsement. I love the cover too!
Thanks for these recommendations!
I have “Man of Shadow & Mist” on my virtual list saved on my account through my local public library. I’ll put it on hold after my reading pile goes down some.
