"Grave Mercy" by Robin Lafevers

Wow, oh wow!!!  Grave Mercy by Robin Lafevers is just awesome!  I loved it and had a hard time putting it down; finished it in two days.  There are lots of plots and Ismae is a great character.  This is just the first book of three so can't wait for the next one. 

Ismae is able to escape from a planned marriage.  Her next stop is the sanctuary at the convent of St. Mortain, the saint of death.  She learns well and then is given a big assignment!

I think this will be my favorite read of this month--it does not get much better than this.

"The Crown" by Nancy Bilyeau

The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau tells the story of a nun, Joanna, who must find a relic crown to save her father who is being held captive.  I thought the first part of this book was really good with lots of action and was into it.  From part two on is when I had a problem with it.  This book is far from bad, don't get the wrong idea.  I just enjoyed the first part much more.

"The Convent" by Panos Karnezis

The Convent by Panos Karnezis is an excellent read that I really enjoyed!  It is about an order of Nuns in a remote convent whose lives are dedicated to prayer and our Lord.  Then one day, a baby is left on their doorstep and everything changes.  The thing I liked most about this book is how the reader finds out about all the Nuns’ past lives a little at a time.  It is only 212 pages but once you are into it, it’s almost impossible to put down!  Give it a shot--I’m really glad I did!
