Synopsis
Mary Catherine has spent her whole life waiting for this moment. For the day that she’d walk down the aisle and marry the most important man she’ll ever know (other than God, of course). Father Osborne has had his eye on Mary Catherine since she was a young girl, and she’s always said that she’s more than ready to do her duty to her home and become his bride. But when the mysterious Jane comes to town, Mary Catherine’s world is turned upside down and back again as she tumbles head over heels into a fascination for this dangerous stranger.
Jane, however, is on a mission. She knows her place in the world, and she knows what it’ll take to get the revenge she deserves. But when the loving and sweet Mary Catherine makes her way into Jane’s life, will Jane be able to maintain the focus she needs to when it matters most? Will she be able to make the sacrifices she knows she must, or will it all be for naught?
Someone Else’s Blood, Someone Else’s Love is a tale of revenge, love, and recognizing who you are in someone else’s life, whether that’s just a passing blip, or a force that will change everything.
Will you follow the Tenants of the Prophet? Or will you be lost to the outside, forgotten to the world within?
Review
I received this early to possibly provide a blurb, and that’s just wild to me that someone would allow me to do that?? Huge thanks!
This is compulsively readable. Concise writing that’s straight to the point and easy to read. I suggest not picking this up unless you know you have time to finish it, because you won’t be able to put it down.
A little girl prays for the return of her father, meanwhile their prophet knows better than to bother. A young woman prepares for her wedding, though her mind often wanders, thinking back to the strange woman she met by the stream. Her marriage should be heaven sent, but something is off.
Each section is led by one of the community’s tenets, which brings life to this very small feeling world, and helps to further illustrate just how controlled they all are by their prophet. Jane, the strange woman from the woods, has been biding her time—will the outcome be worth the wait?
The author managed so much in so few words! I’m impressed and I thoroughly enjoyed reading through this on my lunch break. I really enjoyed how this could be set during any time period. It’s a struggle of womanhood and religion, and it could be set in a cult-like setting like the movie the Village, modern, but cut off. Or it could be a period piece. Hell, it could even take place in its own world, the story being so secluded.
While feeling so down to earth and real, this was bloody bloody revenge.
