This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger

This was a powerful, Huckleberry Finn like tale, Set in the midst of the depression, Odie and his crew of vagabonds escape life at Lincoln School and start on an adventure like no other. The story of these 4 runaway orphans will take you on an adventure you are not likely to soon forget. This story is over 400 pages but ended up being a quick read. It is well researched and seeping with history and yet give the reader a great tale to hold on to. Overall this is a great read!

The Warsaw Protocol by Steve Berry

As a Steve Berry fan, I enjoyed this next book in the Cotton Malone series.  For those who read the last book, I enjoyed the fact that this narrative was written in 3rd person unlike the last book in this series.  Overall this is a four star read, great for readers who are in to history and are looking for a fast pace thriller.  Even if readers haven't read the other Cotton Malone novels, this one is can be read independently.

I received a free advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
