Firefly Diaries by C.C. Warrens

 

About the Book:

"The world whipped around her in a dizzying funnel of lights and shouts, people in uniforms pressing in from all directions. Noelle sat motionless in the street, barely able to breathe. His little body was too still. Too broken."

Noelle's world shattered that night, like the pieces of headlights scattered across the dark street. There was no rebuilding her life around the grave of her child.

Adrift in her grief, Noelle finds herself drawn to an old house as rundown and weary as her spirit. She might not be able to mend her own brokenness, but maybe she can restore this abandoned structure to its former beauty. Determined, she throws herself into a renovation project with the unexpected help of a local. But she soon learns that her new home comes with a blood-stained history and a chilling reputation.

When she stumbles across a diary written by a child with a disturbing life, and a teenage girl vanishes from the village, clues leave Noelle wondering if her house might somehow be connected. Someone -- or something -- wants her gone, but she has no intention of leaving without discovering the truth.

My Review: 

C.C. Warrens does not write a bad book--all of her books are GREAT works of writing! Her characters are dynamic and warm, the dialogue is realistic, and the Christian faith element is so very present. While this book hits on a hard topic, Mrs. Warrens addresses it with tact and realism. I highly recommend this book--it is a hard-to-put down story!
