The Secrets of the Cross Trilogy

review 1: Full of adventure, intrigue, mystery, drama and incredibly profound plotlines, Two Testaments picks up where the first book, Two Crosses, ended. Without even room for a breath, Musser takes us back into this detailed historical setting and leaves us overwhelmed once again. Powerful moments of introspection are partnered with hearts longing for the truth. It would be easy to take scenes of such raw emotion and play them heavy handed, yet Musser gives them a deft touch with masterful detail and beauty.I completely enjoyed this book. As with the first one, I was transported to this little known bit of history and found myself completely enraptured. I didn’t know much about Algeria and how everything ended up playing out in that country. Musser’s books ring with a fabulous... more sense of detail and proportion. Rather than giving us so much history it feels like a lesson, she gives us the characters and through their struggles, we are able to anchor the story in reality.People who love history, romance, adventure and intrigue will adore this series. I cannot wait to get into Two Destinies and see where Musser takes us next.Provided by David C. Cook – thank you Karen!
review 2: Gabriella and David are still in France, working to save as many orphans as possible while coming to grips with their discovery of David’s daughter. Gabriella goes to class and works at the orphanage, while David teaches classes until David goes to Algeria to bring back his former lover, the mother of his child. As more orphans come to the orphanage, the town turns against it out of racism and the parents of the students in the exchange program begin to grumble. David and Gabriella’s love is tested as they continue their efforts to save children from the Algerian war and an evil Algerian seeking retribution. Gabriella takes a larger role at the orphanage and David goes to Algeria to help Anne-Marie get to France, but he stays behind to help Mustapha. As with the first book, I loved Two Testaments. Musser does an excellent job with all the characters, but especially Mother Griolet as she deals with the racism of the town, overcrowding, and her successor. The story is interesting, exciting, and heart rending. This is definitely one of the best I have read this year. I would recommend it to anyone enjoying history, romance, and suspense.Provided by Netgalley.com. less
