Recollection by Tom Pawlik [4 stars]

Recollection by Tom Pawlik
Book info from Tyndale
New York City cabdriver Adrian Colfax awakens one night muttering a mysterious string of numbers and with the fragments of a bizarre dream in his head. He can’t shake the feeling there’s something he’s supposed to do. Something very important. He just can’t remember what it is.

Through a series of haunting visions, Adrian comes to believe he's been transported back in time to prevent the violent murder of the girl he loved. But he also learns that saving Kate could result in something even more catastrophic.

The clock is ticking. What will you do with the time you have left?


I read and reviewed another book from the 7 Hours series (Whole Pieces by Ronie Kendig) and thought I'd try another book from the series. I enjoyed this book as well.
I really liked the characters. The dialogue was very good, thoughtful at times and interesting.

I was very suprised by the ending. This book really puts into perspective the difference this characters choice makes about changing his past and how it effects those around him. It really makes you see the whole picture and understand even through bad times, God does see the bigger picture and He does know what he's doing! And even going back and changing one event can effect so many people. This is a great book for a Christian to read. While it won't answer why God lets bad things happen, it definitely makes you ask yourself some questions and make you look at your own past.

Whole Pieces (7 Hours Series) By Ronie Kendig [4.5 Stars]

Whole Pieces by Ronie Kendig
(info of book from Tyndale)
After a brutal attack left him without a limb and his team dead, former Green Beret Haytham "Hawk" Wilson is angry at life and God. Bitter, he pushes everyone out of his life. Every day he relives his decision to send teh Afgan boy home rather than following orders to kill any who came upon his hidden team. So when on his deathbed at age 36, eaten alive by grief and regret, he's offered the chance to relive any seven hours. Hawk is determined to go back, kill the boy, and save his team. The decision is simple...until he gets there.

The clock is ticking. What will he do with the time left?

There are 7 books in the 7 hours series. (I've only read this book.) The whole concept of choosing 7 hours to relive is kind of a neat. I'm not really a fan of supernatural/fantasy type stuff; but this was good. It adds a whole new level of emotional turmoil to the character since he knows the outcome of his decision. He has to weigh every decision he makes, agonizing over what could happen.
I love Ronie Kendig's writing, and I think she could write just about anything. She has a way of writing and making you feel like you're right there (which is kind of scary in some situations!) But I really enjoyed this story, it's short, won't take too long to read, and definitely worth the $2.99!

On another note, isn't the cover awesome?!?!

This book is $2.99 and available for Kindle only. Or PDF version HERE
