The House at the End of the Moor

Author Michelle Griep has created some memorable characters and some intriguing events for The House at the End of the Moor, a book filled with adventure, danger, mystery, and intrigue. There is also the suggestion of a romance that left me hoping for so much more! In one instance, Maggie tells Oliver that "You are a very kind man for a convict." Later, as she continues to help him, Oliver asks her "Tell me, when this is over, when I am a free man, would you do me the honor of allowing me to call on you?" Griep vividly describes the initial feelings of fear and desperation and her description of the dark and dreary moor certainly magnifies these feelings. And then, a mutual respect develops between Maggie and Oliver and their emotions change to hope, faith, and trust. The key elements in this story are forgiveness and redemption and The House at the End of the Moor proves once again that no one does historical Christian romance any better than Michelle Griep! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
