Search - Beyond Molasses Creek

From the first hundred or so pages of the novel, I wasn’t exactly sure where the plot was going. But the writing and characters were intriguing and I wanted to see what would bring them together in a unique telling. After those first a hundred or so pages, the story that came upon me, kept me turning the pages to the climax.

The novel is a masterful writing creation. It’s a bit slow in the beginning, but once you’ve read through to the end, everything in the start completely falls into place and I could be nothing but in awe of all the little details set in place.

There is poetry to the writing and a style that lends to be more graceful and not as hard-edged or fast paced and more of a literary style. I’m not sure I am completely in love with it, but at the same time, I appreciate it and it fit the story very well.

I hate to say too much in this review for fear of giving away too many details, but I can say that I loved Ally characterization. She started out hard-edged in the beginning, but seemed to be embracing God’s love in the end. I didn’t like a certain action she did in the end, at the same time I can understand it – I just don’t agree with it.

All in all, it’s a good novel. Crafted exceptionally well, written in a style that keeps the reader moving forward and never stale in the motion of the characters or story.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Litfuse for my copy to review.
