This was quite an enjoyable book that had me reading long into the night.
One of my favorite parts of this one was Eliza's personality. She was so feisty and always knew what she wanted to do, even if it wasn't well-thought-out. Eliza also grew a lot as a character just as those around her did.
I also really noticed the language of the book. It used a lot of words that are somewhat uncommon and I really liked how it flowed.
As for the adventure, it was perfectly woven throughout the whole novel, making it difficult to put down. Just when I'd think that the characters were out of danger, a new situation would arise.
All in all, I give this a solid 4/5 stars and recommend it to fans of adventure and history.
Thank you Kathleen for sending me this book.

Was I surprised when I first read this book? Yes. I was so pleased with how Kathleen handled the difficult subjects brought up and was able to show that there is hope and love to be found no matter how dark it looks. This book also shows quite well that we can't judge by the exterior, but to look in instead.
As for the plot, it took an unexpected turn that made it quite unlike many of the books I've read (in a good way). I also really appreciated how this book involves the many groups of people that lived in California during the time period.
I believe this one will be enjoyed by many older teens and adults looking for a thought-provoking Christian historical novel with a unique twist.
Also just to note: while this is the second of a series, it can be read as a standalone

Although this is book 4 in the Chaparral Hearts series it can be read as a stand-alone. I found it interesting to read about the mud caves in San Diego county in 1873, as I knew nothing about their existence. This book contains some strong, spunky women who make the best of situations and get the job done while relying on their Faith and God’s Word to see them through. Life is hard and survival in the wilderness takes dedication and a strong work ethic. I found this book refreshing and inspiring as the women and Gideon were fighters to not let their afflictions cripple them but to find inner strength to survive. The characters are raw and real and the story is engaging and easy to read. Even in the midst of the storms of life God still has a plan and it shines through the pages and gives us hope. I look forward to reading more in this series as I found it interesting and enjoyable.
I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

Murmur in the Mudcaves by Kathleen Denly is a Christian Historical romance. A visually impaired veteran comes to California to become a cook for a ranch. Bridget “Biddie” Davidson comes to California to find her long-lost older sister. She comes west with her adopted father and her best friend. When the two meet, their lives become a little complicated. I loved the interactions and storyline development.

From the moment I picked up this book, I found myself unable to put it down. With stubborn tenacity and determination, Biddie and her long-lost sister kept this book interesting. Gideon adds an interesting dimension to this story as well. The author illustrates how people often can overcome huge obstacles and, in the process, find the faith God intended for us along with the person God intended for us as well.

So if you enjoy Christian Historical Romances, check out Murmur in the Mudcaves by Kathleen Denly for yourself. I definitely recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.
