Slow Moon Rising

My Thoughts:
What a great book.  It is really one of those kind of books where you say, hmm I wonder if everyone has secrets like this family had.  A family who doesn't really talk through their issues, the Claybourne women are all hurting, but they just do not know how to move forward.
Secrets, affairs, alcoholism, are just many of the things that are hurting this family.  I was drawn into this story from page one.  Anise, the stepmother of the family, has a personality that makes me wish she was my best friend.  She is a nurturer and a peace maker.  I enjoyed this story great and am happy I was given the chance to review it.  4 stars.
Available June 2013 from your favorite seller of Revell Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

Review for Waiting for Sunrise
Cedar Key has long been a place of rest, healing, and release in the
Claybourne family. But it might also be the birthplace of a lie that is
poisoning the family from within. Join the strong Claybourne women—Anise,
Kimberly, Jayme-Leigh, Heather, and Ami—as they each confront the truth.
Their unique paths will lead them through heartbreak, misunderstandings,
and pain. But their journeys will also bring reconciliation with each other and
renewed love in their own lives.
In her lyrical, evocative fashion, Eva Marie Everson weaves a tapestry of
complicated relationships that, when complete, reveals the most beautiful
work of art there is—family.

Book Info

My Thoughts: You just know when you pick up a book and put it down many times it is going to be a hard book to review.  You plug along determined,  to read the story because after all, you have have enjoyed this author before. (Loved The Baker's Wife) There was too many "toos" in this story.  Too many characters, too many incidents happening in one day, too many coincidences. All of these many things, just made the book hard to read.  The paranormal aspect of the story, had an interesting premise, but it just didn't deliver for me. Over all I have to rate this at a 3 star book.   This book was provided for review purposes only, no payment was received for this review.   About Afloat:  Who will you trust when dark waters rise? Eagle's Talon is an architectural marvel-shining residential units afloat in a protected cove of the gorgeous Rondeau River. The project is nearly complete, partially occupied, and ready to make investors rich when a sinkhole gives way. Then torrential rains and a flood leave a ragged collection of builders, investors, and residents stranded in one floating building, cut off from the rest of the world. They're bitterly divided over what to do next. Architect Vance Nolan insists they should sit tight and wait for rescue. Developer Tony Dean wants to strike out into the darkness. And single mom Danielle Clement, desperate to protect her young son, Simeon, struggles to hold their motley band together. Power failure, a pall of unnatural daytime darkness, explosions in the distance, then a murder ratchet tensions to a boiling point. But Danielle's young son, Simeon, has spotted something strange underwater-beautiful, shifting lights in the dark water below. In this watery world where everyone's secrets will eventually come to light, salvation may mean more than just getting out alive. Another stunning exploration of the human spirit and supernatural possibilities from best-selling author Erin Healy.
