The wait is over! Happy birthday to Shadows of the White City, book 2 in The Windy City Saga! (Veiled in Smoke was Book 1.)
Over the last few months, I know I've talked a lot about this novel.
- I've created four short videos giving you glimpses into the World's Fair of 1893.
- I've shared the book description gobs of times. (But if you missed it, find it here.)
- I completed a short Q&A about the book which you can read here if you like.
- I've shared the endorsements from talented authors Kristy Cambron, Tamera Alexander, Michelle Griep, and Roseanna M. White.
But now it's the moment of truth. What do readers like you have to say about it?
Readers Report
Early reviews are coming in, along with some snapshots like the fun one to the right, courtesy of Kerry Keane Thatcher. Here are just a few snippets from Goodreads:
"A spellbinding story of faith, love, and family from Jocelyn Green! Shadows of the White City drew me in from the beginning and never let me go. Green’s impeccable writing combined with a riveting depiction of the Chicago World’s Fair will utterly enchant readers." ~Sylvia
"[This book] is a thoughtful, probing look into motivations of our own hearts, shines the gospel on them, and gives us the tools to love with a more selfless, pure, faith-based love. . . Shadows of the White City reminded me of everything I love about Jocelyn Green's writing. I love the thoughtfulness of it, I love her characters, I love the theology and the way she writes. I wouldn't have changed anything about this book." ~Heather Wood
"I highly recommend this book. The hope that sprung out of the first book, Veiled in Smoke, continues here, even when things don’t always go as expected. The characters are so real I want to be friends with them and, even though I know that they are fictional and it is not possible, I walked away feeling like I am." ~Linda
Shadows of the White City is full of heart and history, dazzle and danger. I'm so glad to share it with you.
