When Justice Comes by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker Review

 

Oh wow! This third and final book of the Tupelo Grove series by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker was just awesome. A very satisfying conclusion. Though I am sad that it is at the end. I admit, I do hope we see a little bit of Hez and Savannah in the next Sanctuary book that's releasing later this year. I did love how the characters from the three series set in and around Pelican Harbor have been interacting. I loved seeing Paradise and Blake and also getting to see Jane Dixon and Will. 

Now, back to When Justice Comes specifically. Hez and Savannah are on the cusp of getting remarried and adopting Savannah's nephew whose mother recently died. They've gone through so much to get here, and yet, they are now up against even more. They suddenly find themselves in a custody battle while at the same time dealing with more danger. Who exactly is behind the attacks and the blackmail and the kidnapping? Will they be able to retain custody of Simon as his mother wished, or will those who are after him for nefarious purposes get their way? Will there ever be an end to the feud between the Willard and Legare families?

So many new truths come out in this story. Some were quite a surprise. 

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I did not want to have to put it down. Even when I was trying to get other things done, my mind was on this book, and I was telling my family about what was going on. That's always going to be a five-star book for me. It is filled with danger and suspense and deception. In addition to the child custody battle (which really grabbed my attention because of things in my personal life) they were dealing with someone trying to frame one of our main characters. 

But there was hope. There was faith and trust. The characters believed in God and prayed to Him, continuing to trust in Him and leave things in His hands. We also see a life changed and characters learning to forgive, not just others, but themselves. 

It was just an awesome book and one I highly recommend. But make sure to read this series in order as each book does lead into the next one. You may even want to read the Pelican Harbor books to get to know Jane. We see quite a bit of her in this book. And you can get to know Paradise and Blake by reading the Sanctuary series.  Though each series can be read and enjoyed without the other. 

I received an e-copy of this book through NetGalley and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
