This book had a slow start in my opinion but the rest of the book really made up for this. A beautiful story of love, hope and friendship with twists and drama embedded in.

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am a sucker for a WWII historical fiction, and this one ticked all the boxes. There was emotion, drama, love, courage, lossand even a little fantasy. The stories were compelling and I really developed an emotional connection to the characters.

The ending, after the build up of the main story, did feel a little rushed and wrapped up more perfectly than realistically, but

sometimes you just really need a happy ending; This book delivered entirely on that front.

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring sad

A little cheesy and unrealistic. My cynical and realist brain considered docking stars for just how unbelievable some of it was but honestly I ate up every page. I laughed and I cried and would definitely recommend when you need a hallmark vibed book.

I am consistently captivated by Barbara Davis's books, and "The Keeper of Happy Endings" is no exception. Davis masterfully teases at the intrigue of the supernatural while weaving a rich tapestry of human emotions—hope, anger, fear, and love. Her storytelling is both complex and poignant, touching on the deepest facets of the human experience.

The unexpected connections between the characters add layers of depth and interest, creating a compelling circle that enriches the storyline. Each interaction is thoughtfully crafted, pulling the reader further into the intricate web of their lives.

Barbara Davis has a unique talent for blending the mystical with the mundane, and this book is a testament to her skill. It's a beautiful exploration of how the past and present intertwine, leading to surprising and meaningful resolutions.

This book started sooo sllllowwwwlllly. It would pick up a little and then slow down again. I'm glad I kept reading though. The different POVs and timelines were never clunky and worked well together. Most of the twists were predictable in one way or another but not always in the way I was thinking. All-in-all, I'm glad I kept reading.

Absolutely lovely story. The first part is like any other WWII story: loss, separation, sacrifice. Then the ending is just so joyful and full of hope. Not what I was expecting. Included in Kindle Unlimited…I’ve had a lot of luck with Kindle Unlimited books the last couple months.
