Critic reviews

"Full of high emotional moments and unexpected twists and turns, these Color of Heaven books are impossible to put down." (Emily March, New York Times best-selling author)

Kept me wondering

Perhaps the best so far in this series. I was glad when Josh finally found a lady, but I kept guessing g at the conclusion of this mystery until the very end. I enjoy the way Leah is involved in the story, and the way Trudy relays messages. The series is very skillfully connecting the books. Good read.

THE COLOR OF JOY

It is hard to believe that I am enjoying this series as much as I am. I t is very well written and very entertaining, This author knows how to tell a story

Fabulous series

I have been listening to this series from the beginning. It has been thoughtful and wonderful. I have really liked them all. And I have enjoyed the narrators all along.

Hopeful, Blessed and Joyful

I feel full to overflowing with love and joy after listening to book 8 in the "Color of Heaven" series and fully intend to keep listening to the next book in this fantastic series.

Sweet

Nice story. Got a little confused at first because I didn’t realize that there were 2 different couples, I thought it was going back it time. But caught on. The author must be involved with a 12 step program because there’s a lot of principals in the story that come from the program but also based on forgiveness which if God can forgive us we should be able to forgive others. I liked the females voice but starting out with the male voice threw me. I didn’t care for his voice to begin off with. During the story it was ok. But there must be other smoother rhythmic better sounding out there. I noticed there’s lots of good female voices but not to many men’s.
Overall I liked it. I’m just not used to nice happy endings. We need more of these!

Beautiful

The novel is great! Loved the twists and turns throughout the whole book! But, the narrators were not that great. Narrator for the previous books in the series was great! Shouldn’t have changed!

Love this series!

I have been thrilled with each of these books. The characters are so real, the subject enthralling and I can't get enough. What a talented writer to be able to have this many books in a series and keep the readers grabbing the next one. Which is exactly where I am headed.

What did I just listened to?

I loved the first book in this series. I was focused on Riley’s story and was confused after the other characters that was not of the beginning thrown in. I kept waiting for Riley’s story but it didn’t come. I was confused and distracted with the thrown in characters that I got lost, thus I lost interest. I couldn’t finish Riley’s and won’t be continuing with this series. As a reader, confusing plot is a disaster and too bad for this author because the writing was well written. It’s too bad that the story sucks!

So darn depressing

Tried to read this book because Julianne Maclean is an AWESOME WRITER but I just cannot go on because it’s so depressing,
