This week’s book giveaway will run for three weeks and is for the Finding Sanctuary series by Nancy Mehl.
What are these books about?
Gathering Shadows
Wynter Evans is a promising young reporter for a television station in St. Louis, but even a bright future doesn’t take away her pain over the disappearance of her brother nine years ago. So when she stumbles across a photograph of a boy with an eerie resemblance to him, she can’t pass up the chance to track him down. With research for work as her cover, she sets out with one of the station’s photogs for the place where the picture was taken: the town of Sanctuary.
Almost as soon as she arrives, she meets the town’s handsome young mayor, Rueben King, and together they begin to uncover long held secrets that could tear the small town apart and change everything Wynter thought she knew about her life. As the truth of her family’s past hides in the shadows, it’s clear someone will stop at nothing to keep the answers she’s searching for hidden forever–even if the cost is Wynter’s very life.
Deadly Echoes
After a youth filled with tragedy and upheaval, Sarah Miller’s life is finally settled with all echoes of the past silent at last. She happily calls Sanctuary her home and spends her days teaching at the local school.
Sarah’s joy at her recent reunion with her sister, Hannah, and meeting the niece she didn’t know she had is too soon interrupted when Deputy Sheriff Paul Gleason informs Sarah her sister has been killed.
As she learns more about Hannah’s death, the circumstances are eerily similar to their parents’ murder. Sarah enlists Paul’s help in digging deeper into the murders the police are dismissing as burglaries gone wrong. Paul’s concern encourages Sarah’s growing feelings for him, but as their investigation peels back the layers of lies almost twenty years old, they get close to uncovering the truth one person will do anything to hide–even if that means coming after the last remaining members of the Miller family.
Rising Darkness
Sophie Wittenbauer left her strict Mennonite hometown under a cloud of shame and regret. After a rough childhood, her teenage poor choices harmed others, leaving her with no choice but to change her life. Her entry-level writing job at a newspaper puts her in the right place at the right time to overhear office gossip about a prisoner who has information on a decades-old unsolved crime. While the other reporters write off the tip as the ravings of an angry criminal, Sophie can’t ignore it because she knows the name of this prisoner from her old life.
Upon learning from the man that one of the other suspects is hiding out in the Missouri town of Sanctuary, she takes on a false identity to investigate and meets the young pastor of a local church–the very man she’d loved as a troubled teenager. As she gets closer to finding the suspect, will the truth of her own past come out before she discovers the identity of the criminal–or the very person she’s seeking puts a fatal stop to her investigation?

Thank you Lucy and thanks for commenting. 🙂
Super healing power. Yes, that will could handy during these times.
Yes it would. Thanks for commenting Mindy. 🙂
If I could have one super power, it would two fold. I would love to be able to see and feel the things and people as they really are before cherishing them after they pass on and it’s too late to embrace them and those feelings at the time it would have done us both the most good. The second part would be to be able to truthful without hurting anyone unnecessarily. Some times I think I’m too blunt and though what I said needed to be said, I feel I need to find another way to say it.
I love all of that Kay. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 🙂
Healing Power would come in handy. So would Invisibility – so I can read without being disturbed every five minutes.
Oooo invisibility to read? I can totally relate to that Emily. 😉 Thanks for commenting.
I would like to have the superpower to be anywhere geographically in a matter of minutes so I could see my mom & all my siblings, children and grandchildren who live spread all across the USA.

Welcome to my website Diana. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Healing powers would be so amazing!
Thanks for commenting Sarah. 🙂
Definitely healing powers to help others.
Something that would help others. Maybe be able to read what was bothering them by their body language. Have the means to help them understand Christ, so they would be saved.
Thanks for commenting Paula. 🙂
After reading the synopsis for each book in the series, I cannot imagine why the town is called Sanctuary. That place has such deep, horrible secrets that characters are in peril. This series sounds like the kind where I would have to have all the volumes before starting because I would marathon read. Thank you for the great review and giveaway.
You’re very welcome Roxanne. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
My superpower would be house cleaning! I hate it and it’s never neat and orderly.
I like that one Perrianne. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
I would say Telekinesis.
