There are times I read a book, put it down and basically forget the story. This was not the case with Life Support! My heart strings were being pulled from one side to the other like a rope during a rousing game of tug of war.
The medical drama present is riveting. At a certain point, I thought the author was going to take the story to a place I did not want it to go but instead she gave voice to one of the characters that lifted my heart and brought about happy tears. I was left with no doubt that the situations portrayed could be true.
Life Support is a beautiful story of the love between two brothers, the love between two sisters, and the love between two people who have devoted their lives to watching over their siblings. The story is quite satisfying with just the right touch of faith, suspense and romance. Fans of medical fiction will enjoy this fast-paced, arresting read.
I want to thank Tyndale House for providing me with an advanced reader electronic copy for review purposes through Netgalley. My honest opinion is all that is required. No other compensation is received.

Joy, I know you will love it! Do you have an e-reader? It's on NetGalley, if you do.
DeleteHi Anne! What a great book! And I love that Candace is a nurse, because I have a soft spot for them, of course. I think it's always a good sign when you remember the story after you've read it.

Hi Ceil! Yes, I do believe you have a fondness for nurses, as do we. We've had some great ones over the years and so appreciate y'all's dedication :) See you at the exchange!
DeleteThanks for this excellent review, Anne! I was looking at this one to read and now I have more incentive :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHey! Have you read any of Candace's books? This is the third in the series. I would start with the first, or even her VERY first book and work from there because they. are. awesome.
