I received a copy of DEATH BE NOT PROUD by C. F.
Dunn from Lion Fiction via Kregel. It is
the second book, following MORTAL FIRE, in the
Secret of the Journal series. I was
excited to receive it, since I had really enjoyed that first book. The main character, Emma D’Eresby, is still a
professor, which I love, because of my past working at a college. Even though I don’t work there anymore, it
brought back the happier memories.
Not to say the book is super
happy-go-lucky. Oh no, Emma’s found out
her lover, Matthew, isn’t at all what she thought. Emma leaves Maine to go home to England. My mind kept saying, “Okay, what’s going to
happen next?” as I turned the pages.
There’s plenty of history for history buffs out there (ahem, me). Matthew’s still in the story too, and you get
to his mind in regards to Emma.
I loved the history (my favorite part), the
dialogue, the tension, the action, and the description. There was really no part of the story I
didn’t like. It may not be my favorite,
but it is one I’ll pass on to friends and recommend to others as a fast, powerful
read.
