veronica329 's review for:
The Shunning
by Beverly Lewis
To be honest, I judge books by their covers. This one screamed to me. It said pick me up, learn the juicy secrets of Katie the Amish girl, and indulge like an English woman reading about the horrible betrayal that led to the Shunning.
That all said, the writing was fine- not great, not bad. There was some annoyingly long focus on parts that could have been summed up quickly and parts that were summed up quickly that needed more explanation. The story line was... well it was lacking. It was super predictable and did not leave me wondering. A book this size I could normally digest in a day or two, but this was just entertaining enough.
There are 2 more in the series- The Reckoning and The Confession. I have no plans to find those or read those.
