Some secrets can only stay buried for so long. . . .
Anna Lakeman has spent her life working
alongside her paleontologist father, drawing intricate sketches at every dig.
When they find dinosaur bones near their home in Wyoming Territory, they're
given the opportunity of a lifetime and are swiftly caught up in the
competitive era of the Bone Wars. But after her father becomes sick and Joshua
Ziegler, an old beau, returns for the summer, Anna's world is upended, and the
practical, orderly life she has made for herself shatters.
Medical student Joshua Ziegler left his hometown to forget Anna, the one woman
he truly loved and deeply hurt. But when he returns, time hasn't erased the
feelings they've always had for each other. After Joshua's nephew goes
missing--just like his sister did years ago--and Anna's job is threatened,
tensions mount and dangerous secrets are unearthed.
My Thoughts:
The Secrets Beneath
by Kimberly Woodhouse is a unique story. With Paleontology as the main story
thread, I have never seen this is a story. At least, not in the Christian
fiction market. The story was well-written with plenty of intrigue, romance,
and action to keep the story alive. The one character that I really felt bad
for was Julian. I kept wanting to see what would happen to him. Since I read a
lot of suspense novels, I had a pretty good idea where his part of the story
would end up. I would have liked to have seen what the end result of the
archaeological dig that Joshua and Anna worked on through the whole story would
have shown. Unless Woodhouse plans to keep working on this same dig site in the
second novel, it would have been nice to see the final discovery or the article
with Anna’s pictures and names on them in a magazine. Overall, The Secrets
Beneath by Kimberly Woodhouse was different, thrilling, and had hints of
romance to round out a nicely handled story.
I received a complimentary copy of The
Secrets Beneath by Kimberley Woodhouse from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions
stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
Purchase The Secrets Beneath
