I loved this one! Historical with some mystery is one of my favorite type of reads. Geneva's husband dies in a tragic airplane crash, although the marriage was still quite new and had been arranged, she did have feelings for him and does miss him. So she is shocked and knows something is very wrong when she gets accused of his murder. Bound to find out the truth of how and why, Geneva decides to do some sleuthing herself, but the more she finds the more confused she becomes and when she runs into someone from the past, she is shocked and really now unsure of what or who to believe. Using the guise of barnstorming, she goes from town to town searching for clues as well as anything that will clear her name. Wanted by the police, she does everything she can to stay hidden but when her mother's health takes a turn for the worse, she has no other option than to go home. Home may just be where her answers lie, but someone is determined to let Geneva take the fall and will go to all lengths it takes for this to happen. I really loved the characters, the storyline and the historical sprinkled through out. Thank you to the publisher and author for the complementary novel, this review is of my own opinion and accord.

I enjoyed this book. There is no fewer than 3 major plot twists, banter, suspense, and a less discussed relationship. I’ve already recommended this book to multiple people. Thanks to the author for the ARC. I loved the story. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

This book had me invested within the first few chapters, Rachel is great at mini cliffhangers… on multiple chapters! I loved the past and present timelines and how they were written. I’ve read some books where I lose interest about halfway through but not this book, Rachel did a fantastic job. There were twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting, and I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed the fun mix of history, mystery, and romance. Her writing is beautiful, easy to read, and completely captivates you into the story. I loved Geneva, her personality (funny, smart, quick wit), and her abilities as a wing walker and well Warren is amazing (I will leave it at that). I honestly suggest going into this book a bit blind as the story will pull you in, which makes the mystery and twists that much better and keeps you guessing and wanting to read more. I highly recommend checking this book out! I mean the cover itself is gorgeous but the story… is even better ✨

Thank you to Kregel Publishing and the author for this gifted copy and ARC of Walking on Hidden Wings by Rachel Scott McDaniel. All opinions are my own.
When the author reached out to me and described what this book was about, I was really interested. However, I didn’t know that I would end up loving it as much as I did!
This book is so interesting, romantic, and mysterious. I loved everything about it!
The 1920s New York historical setting was so fascinating to me. I especially enjoyed learning more about flying and how it was to be both a woman and pilot during this time. There were also some other fun historical details throughout the story that I loved, but I won’t spoil anything.
The romance was so well done! I have read very few books with this romance trope, but I really appreciated it. The characters were so sweet, and I love how they grew and learned to communicate.
I really enjoyed the mystery aspect of this story and never could guess what would happen next with the plot. I suspected so many different people, and I was still surprised at the end.
The author did a great job weaving the characters’ Christian faith throughout the story in a natural way, and I appreciated how the characters grew in their faith.
The dialogue between characters was so good, and I laughed out loud quite a few times at the things that Geneva would say.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone! I feel like a lot of people would enjoy this book because it is a great combination of genres.
I don’t know if the author is planning to write a sequel to this book with the way some things were left at the end, but I would be really interested to learn more about Geneva’s sister.

Decided to read a few chapters one day, proceeded to binge this book the entire afternoon. This was incredibly good. I loved that this was set in the 1920’s but had a bit of a different focus than I usually see in this time period. I loved all of the aviation aspects because I love to vicariously live through those who enjoy flying while I keep my feet firmly planted on the ground.
This had a unique take on the romance too. The way Warren and Geneva fought for themselves and each other was incredibly romantic. The whole dang book is romantic. I loved the swoon factor, the passion in reconnecting and the pursuit of truth. I could not get enough of these two and loved how much page time I got of them.
The mystery had me in a chokehold. I was literally making commentary out loud because I was INVESTED. The twists and reveals were perfectly timed and I loved how everything came together. This was a beautiful story woven with great themes and is my new favorite McDaniel book.
Overall audience notes:
- Historical Mystery + Romance
- Language: none
- Romance: closed door
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: attempted murder, arsenic poisoning, miscarriage

I enjoyed the heck out of this book. 🤍 Thank you @uplitreads for the gifted copy of Walking on Hidden Wings!🤍
As soon as I read the synopsis for this book I was SOLD! A female wing-walker, a m*rderer, and a very addictive mystery.
Geneva was such a strong character. I was pulled in by her determination, her fire, and her kind heart!
Don’t even get me started on the romance! I was a puddle of ALL the feels and it was just perfection.
Read if you love:
• 1920s settings
• meet-cutes
• suspense and mystery
• a strong FMC
• wing-walking and pilots
