BIBLES AND BONES IN THE FOREST - 5-STAR REVIEW!!
 Heart, Faith and Tension Done Well

Bibles and Bones in the Forest surprised me—in a good way. I went in expecting a calm, faith-centered story about friendship, and the book that, but it also shifted into real suspense faster than I expected. The mystery element feels sharp and unsettling without losing the warmth of the characters’ relationships.

I liked how grounded the three friends felt. Their dreams, their routines, their Bible study—it all felt believable and easy to settle into. That’s why the moment the mysterious woman appears, the tension hits harder. The story moves quickly from there, and I found myself wanting to know what exactly she was running from and how it would impact the group.

The blend of faith and thriller isn’t something I usually read, but it worked here. It’s uplifting without being preachy and suspenseful without feeling overdone. If you want a clean, faith-based mystery with likable characters and a steady pace, this is a solid pick.
