The Brewer: Salem Village-Book 3

This has been a series with lots of historical information from which I have gleaned lots of interesting historical knowledge, that I found  to be quite a fascinating backdrop. As with the earlier books in the series, this one easily held my attention. The trials that the people of this time period faced, although different than what our lives are today, showed faith of those in the community as they faced the witch trialsl surrounded by fear and suspicion.  It was a captivating storyline and I recommend it to those who love some fiction intertwined with actual historical events.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the author.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Carpenter by Pegg Thomas Salem Village Book 1

This book is a real attention grabbing story.  It takes place in Salem, Massachucetts in the 1600's where we have history of the Salem Witch Trials, a very tragic historical time and place.  At this time the Quakers and the Puritans were having serious strife and as Caleb and his wife, who are Quakers, adopt a Puritan child, the stress becomes extremely worrisome for them and their safety.

I love history and this book really held my attention.  The story line is well developed and the characters were also believable and the historical aspect was very fascinating and the story was exciting and tragic to read about.  Although fiction, it was clearly a good depiction of life and times then.

I recommend this book and look forward to the next in the series. I received a copy of this book from the author.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
