Cities of Refuge: A Light on the Hill (Series #1) (Hardcover)

If I could give more than 5 stars for A Light on the Hill by Connilyn Cossette - I would. From the opening paragraph, til the end - I was hooked on Moriyah and her story. Connilyn Cossette has a way with words and putting them in a way that just captivates her readers. This story, although Biblical Fiction, is not like what I thought Biblical Fiction would be - dry reading or read more like a non-fiction book. This story has it all in a fast pace - fast page turning read, One you won't be able to put down, and if you do, it is only because you either fell asleep or your eyes said no more! Moriyah's journey is one you won't want to miss and a story that will remain in your heart!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G really doesn't describe this beautiful, touching book. I was so anxious to read Moriyah's story since she appeared in a previous book. It didn't fail to keep me turning pages and staying up to finish. The history of biblical times is so interesting, well researched, and told in such a way that it is never boring. It brings it to life and you can visualize the places and even the foods. I loved Dareck and how he reacted to Moriyah in different situations, but no spoilers so can't say what. Moriyah's strength of character, faith, and kind heart were so inspirational after what she had endured. It is interwoven like a tapestry that you can't absorb in one sitting, so you revisit it again and again. This is the first book in the new Cities of Refuge series. I look forward to the next one. I highly recommend this, but make sure you have tissues. I received a complimentary copy from Bethany House. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
