The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
The Bronze Horseman (The Bronze Horseman, #1)
by Paullina Simons
I have to give it a five, because the book was so passionate, so beautiful, so vivid, that it drew me in and I wasn't able to put it down until I finished.
I couldn't actually write about this book immediately after finishing it because it was such an emotional thing. I felt bereft when I'd finished the last page and actually kept flipping through the end pages because I couldn't believe it was really over!
I'm afraid if I share a true review of the book that it will be a major spoiler, but I will tell you it was a powerful novel that made me laugh, that made me hope, that made me cry, and that made me smile, all the way through. If you read this, you will find yourself emotionally invested in the characters and you will have to live the story through to the end.
As far as I know, this is a very historically solid account of WWII Russia during Hitler's invasion, especially the siege of Leningrad. It was horrific and amazing to live through it with the characters, to know the extent of what the people of Leningrad had gone through.
For my PG readers, there is some "descriptive language" farther on in the book, but if you are a history buff, this will be a great read for you, because it is phenomenal.

Review of Breaking Point by C.J. Box
Breaking Point is the latest release of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series. If you are anything like my family (myself, my husband, my dad), then you have eagerly awaited the next installment, wondering what trouble Joe would find himself in this time!
For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett has great love for his family, passion for his calling, and an integrity and honesty that shine through in the toughest situations. Through each of Wyoming author Box's novels, Joe Pickett, his friends and family have grown in the hearts and minds of his readers, till they've come to life on the page. You probably don't have to start at the beginning as each of his novels is a standout story all on its own, but I would, so you can get to know and love each character the way that I have.
As the manhunt organized itself, Joe heard more of the story—about the tract of land Butch and his wife had bought to build their retirement home on, until the EPA declared it a wetland. About the penalties they charged him when he balked, new ones piling up every day, until the family was torn apart by debt . . . and finally, it seems, the man just cracked.
It was an awful story. But was it the whole story? The more Joe looks into it, the more he begins to wonder—and the more he finds himself in the middle of a war he never expected and never wanted. Powerful forces want Butch not just caught, but dead . . . and the same goes for anyone who stands in their way.
5 of 5 stars
I need 6 stars here. C.J. Box is just phenomenal, and this latest Joe Pickett is the best yet. Loved it!
C.J. Box has also written several novels that are not part of the Joe Pickett series, and they are great as well.

It was always good to
see Butch Roberson, Joe thought—a hard-working, upright local business
owner whose daughter was friends with his own. Little did he know that
when he talked to Butch that day, the man was about to disappear. He was
heading into the mountains to hunt, he said, but instead he was
running. Two EPA employees had just been murdered, and all signs pointed
to him as the killer.As the manhunt organized itself, Joe heard more of the story—about the tract of land Butch and his wife had bought to build their retirement home on, until the EPA declared it a wetland.
