Back Cover Review & Giveaway: Forget Me Not by Vicki Hinze

No overseas entrants please.

Forget Me Not is a fantastic name for this book about "a woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except her faith..."! I thought that Ben’s struggle to understand God’s purpose in the loss of his wife and daughter was very authentic. I thoroughly enjoyed the verbal sparring between him and the heroine too. I also loved the sound of the plot idea for this suspense novel...

...however, in my opinion, this novel was more of a mystery-genre rather than suspense…it begins like any good roller-coaster with an upward climb, but the tension of it didn’t build intensely for me. Part of the reason for this, I think, was that the characters figure out each other’s motives very accurately and consistently. It didn’t leave me asking questions and guessing about the characters’ next moves…although I still didn’t know the answers to the “big questions” of the plot - and it is an amazing web of a plot! Also, although there was plenty of good writing in this novel, it seems like there was a lot of “telling” for me. But I want to know…what do you think? Comment to win a copy and give me your opinion, please!
