Then go back and read Out of Egypt series.
Read To Dwell Among Cedars first if you want the full scope of Shoshana and Lukio’s story. I understood a new level of the stories I’d grown up hearing through these characters’ eyes, I witnessed them myself. I saw God work in His miraculous true stories through the eyes of fictional commonors and saw His goodness for how good it was, leaving me longing for him, yearning for him. It was like as I read I was gathering information in in bucketloads about this time period of the Bible-giving a whole new life to stories I thought I knew. Not to mention in the process, I learned more about the Babylonian period of Bible times than I ever knew before. Before I knew it, I was falling in love with Shoshana and Lukio as I agonized over their plights. And by chapter five, I found myself up past midnight on accident because that exact “how” was pulsing through my head and I could not find rest until I knew. While I may have been right about my ability to predict the end result, but what I entirely forgot to factor in was the how.
I met Lukio and Shoshanna and said, “Well, of course they’re going to fall in love and get married.”īut. But when I picked up Wild Branches, I had the sneaking, discouraging suspicion that I was going to be able to predict the entirety of the book from the beginning. Make no mistake, it was a plot line I enjoyed. I have to admit I was a little skeptical going in, not because I don’t like Cossette, but because after finishing her last few novels I was beginning to suspect they all were following a very similar plot line. (Synopsis from Goodreads.)Īre you looking for a book that will leave you incapable of being productive until it is finished and a book that will draw you closer to God? Well, look no further, because do I have the novel for you: Connilyn Cossette’s Between the Wild Branches. When their renewed connection threatens to expose Shoshana’s dangerous secrets, Lukio must decide how far he’ll go to face his past and keep her protected. But when she is captured in a Philistine raid and enslaved in Ashdod, she is surprised to recognize the brutal fighter known as Demon Eyes. Now, just as the champion of Ashdod is set to claim the biggest prize of all-the daughter of the king-his past collides with his present.Īfter a heartbreaking end to her friendship with Lukio, Shoshana thought she’d never again see the boy with the dual-colored eyes and the troubled soul. He’s also spent the time burying painful memories of betrayal that he associates with the Levite family that guards the Ark of the Covenant and once adopted him. Lukio has spent the past decade as a famous Philistine fighter, achieving every material goal with the help of his ruthless cousin. Finding a way to freedom might cost them everything.
