About the Book

Title: Like Honey for the Bones
Author: Brandy Heineman
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: July 24, 2023
Genre: Christian Split-time Romantic Mystery

TWO HEARTS BROKEN ALONG THE SAME JAGGED EDGE MAKE A GRISLY DISCOVERY DEEP IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY 

Present Day. Solveig Borja fled Virginia to escape the guilt of one reckless night, and once she settles the family estate, she’s Norway-bound and never looking back. Meanwhile, Kyle Benton has come seeking asylum from past sins—which Solveig shatters even as their hopeless romance blooms. But when they discover a skeleton at Rice Caverns, its century-old mystery holds startling links to the here-and-now.  

1919. The Great War is won. Gussie Rice longs for her beau's return from France, until she learns he’s confined at a stateside hospital and her closest confidant is part of the secret. Her bid for love sparks a confrontation that ricochets through time... 

Bad blood and escalating threats swirl around Solveig, and Kyle’s new life proves no haven from the old with his brother's killer trolling the shadows. As the past rears up, the cavern’s hidden places beckon with power to light their hope or to swallow them in utter darkness.

Review: A split time line novel of love and loss, full of secrets and rich Norwegian heritage. 

The story starts in the present day with Solveig Borja, and it took awhile to get into because of the way that it begins by plunging the reader right into the thick of things in a way that made me feel like I was missing some context for a while. The historical story was done in a similar fashion, but I really admired Harvey and how he held out hope for Gussie, being loyal and true throughout, he was probably my favorite part of the book. 

There is a lot going on in both timelines, plenty of mystery, secrets, and turning points. I liked that it had a solid message of God's faithfulness and salvation. A novel that encapsulates a lot of ground, secrets and heartache as it follows two women separated by time. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
