This week I am waiting for:
Book 6 in the Graham Saga - Revenge & Retribution by Anna Belfrage
(I started this series at book 3, you can read them as a stand alone. But if you are like me and become attached to this family, well you'll just want to start from the beginning).
I think my mouth was left hanging open with that last little sentence of book 5 (Serpents in the Garden) and I did a 'high 5' to myself when I found out about this book. Be sure to come back on Aug 15th when I review it.
Paperback, 390 pages

'Revenge
& Retribution' is the sixth book in Anna Belfrage's time slip
series featuring time traveller Alexandra Lind and her seventeenth
century husband, Matthew Graham.
Life in the Colony of Maryland is no
sinecure - as Alex and Matthew Graham well know. But nothing in their
previous life has prepared them for the mayhem that is about to be
unleashed upon them.
Being labelled a witch is not a good thing in 1684,
so it is no wonder Alex Graham is aghast at having such insinuations
thrown at her.
Even worse, it's Matthew's brother-in-law, Simon
Melville, who points finger at her. Not that the ensuing hearing is her
main concern, because nowadays Alex's entire life is tainted by the fear
of what Philip Burley will do to them once he gets hold of them.
On a
sunny May afternoon, Philip finally achieves his aim and over the course
of the coming days Alex sees her whole life unravelling, leaving her
family permanently maimed. As if all this wasn't enough, Alex also has
to cope with the loss of one of her sons.
Forcibly adopted by the former
Susquehannock, Samuel is dragged from Alex's arms to begin a new life
in the wilderness. How is Alex to survive all this?
And will she be able
to put her damaged family back together?
What are you waiting for?
I've seen this series mentioned in a few places but I've never read any of the books. I'm intrigued by the time-slip idea so am going to have to pick up the first book soon to try. Thanks for sharing :)
