Review: The Christmas Cabin - Flight to Freedom #4

The Christmas Cabin book cover on blue background

It's been wonderful reading more Christmas books from some favourite suspense authors. The Christmas Cabin by Laura Thomas serves as the fourth book in the Flight to Freedom series and is the perfect bite-sized story to accompany the other thrilling adventures that have been re-released.

Book Synopsis

The chilling truth…

When Carla James flies home for the holidays at her family’s cozy Canadian cabin, she has no idea what—or who—awaits. But after five years serving at her beloved Mexican orphanage, it’s time to work through forgiveness, face her fears, and reclaim Christmas.

Up-and-coming chef, Rhys Templeton, still regrets leaving a heartbroken Carla in the past and is desperate to confess his truth and make amends. But her own shocking revelation has the potential to either send him spiraling back to his destructive lifestyle or into Carla’s arms.

However, someone else is privy to Carla’s chilling secret and they’re out there watching. Waiting. Wanting. Time is running out like melting snowflakes. And now, if Carla ever wants to see another Christmas, she needs all the grace and grit she can muster to trust the one who deserted her and the One who promised never to leave.

Book Thoughts

This Christmas novella in the Flight to Freedom series allows readers to meet up again with Madison from The Glass Bottom Boat. It's a blessing to continue hearing about the orphanage in Mexico where Madison and Carla first meet. In this story, Carla is back home in British Columbia, Canada after she has been away serving children as a missionary. Little does she realize that this Christmas trip will not only dredge up past nightmares, but that it could also affect her future. I appreciate that this book tackles difficult topics and doesn't gloss over its harsh realities. As characters repeatedly turn to the Lord for help with personal battles, it adds realism to what believers may continue to struggle with.

As always, Laura Thomas delivers a suspenseful read in this novella that keeps readers waiting with bated breath for what's next. While the scenes are action-packed, there is also an element of spiritual reflection that makes each story sparkle even more. Seeing Carla and Rhys grow in their walks with God is satisfying, and I love that they don't rush into things until they have much time is spent in prayer. If you are looking for a Christmas story that delivers chills and culinary treats in multiple ways, The Christmas Cabin shows us what second chances can look like and how God can bring redemption from pain.
