MY THOUGHTS.....
Is it possible to fall in love with a photograph? Do you think that people can be cursed in love? These questions and so many more are a part of this new suspense novel by author Mindy Steele. Breaking McKinley's Curse has a dual timeline, incredible characters, and a fantastic setting. What better place for a Kentucky conservationist and a Virginia game warden to find friendship than a National Park that is also one of the seven wonders of the new world? Yes, Mammoth Cave, in my home state of Kentucky, has star billing and Steele's vivid descriptions made me want to visit there again!
But wait! Another reason to keep turning the pages was to see if the disappearance of Eliza McKinley's husband in 1923 was truly the start of a curse that would continue to plague the future generations of McKinley women. As the plotline alternates between 1923 and 2018, we find Eliza's great-granddaughter Josie McKinley refusing to think of ever trusting, or loving, a man! Famous last words after Reed Montgomery enters her life. Talk about a dream walking! Throw in an adorable canine named Janie, a century-old photograph with a mystery behind it, twists and turns you didn't see coming, and you have a thrilling story that will leave you wanting more. More of the Mountain Protectors series and more of Steele's books. She's known for her Amish fiction books but this story proves that she's mastering the genre of romantic suspense!
I received a complimentary advanced reader copy. There was no obligation or a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
