My Review:

I'm pretty sure Connilyn Cossette is my favourite biblical fiction author. She has a gift for bringing this time period to life, delving deep into culture and customs and I come away from reading one of her books feeling like I have a better understanding of this era. And her storytelling skills are exceptional -- so beautifully lyrical that I find myself reading bits out loud just because it deserves that kind of recognition.

Love the theme of cities of refuge that carries through this series. Shelter of the Most High is the second book but I think it can be read as a standalone. The author does a great job of picking up the pieces from the last book and making sure new readers won't be lost as they delve into this one.

This story is both brutally harsh and achingly tender. My emotions ran the full gamut as I followed Sofea and Eitan on their quest to find the true meaning of refuge. Action, adventure, intrigue and plot twists galore make this book hard to put down. But it's the sweet testimony of mercy and grace which is at the heart of their story that I will carry away with me. If you love biblical fiction, add this book to your wish list. If you don't like biblical fiction, give Connilyn Cossette a try and I bet she might just change your mind. :-)
