"Waiting on Hope"
By T.M. Souders

Ten years ago, Lexie Dodson fled her home in rural Ohio, leaving behind a heartbroken brother and abandoning a devastated fiancĂ©. While chasing her desire of a fast-paced life in the city, and the obscurity of urban life, she is shaken to her very core by an act of violence that leaves her betrayed, broken, and pregnant—and with nowhere to go but home.

Seeking refuge and facing gut-wrenching decisions, she is confronted not only with the past she left behind, but also with a love that never died—a love waiting for something to stoke the flames.

Told from the perspective of four characters, Waiting on Hope will stay with you well after the last page has been turned.

I read Toby Neal's "Blood Orchids" in four thriller filled days. She is an amazing author and her book grips you from page one until the end. Her twists and turns keep you entralled. Don't miss it.

I added a review of "Blood Orchids." to my blog "Musings Under the Willow Tree." It is the first review I have added to my blog or written on another's blog. Simply put, I loved this book and can't wait for the next.
