Review: Snow Globe Secrets - Flight to Freedom #5

Snow Globe Secrets book cover on blue background

The final book in the Flight to Freedom series, Snow Globe Secrets by Laura Thomas is a suspenseful Christmas mystery that combines the idyllic scenes of snow globes with a romantic story while facing unexplainable threats. Combining a British author with a small town set in British Columbia, Canada, what's not to love (including the very author of this book)?!

Book Synopsis

Shootings. Snow globes. Secrets.

When successful realtor, Alexis James, witnesses a shooting outside the bookstore in her hometown of Hollybrook, she soon realizes the perpetrator has unfinished business, and now she is caught in the crossfire.

Tom Harrington is a British, best-selling author who needs to honor a promise and find some answers in this Canadian winter wonderland—but trouble follows him across the ocean.

As Alexis is swept up in a festive whirlwind of danger and love, Tom attempts to break through her ice queen persona. But when chilling walls close in, they both have to decide: can they share their truth, rekindle their faith, and risk their lives if they have any hope for a Happily Ever After?

Book Thoughts

Getting to read Snow Globe Secrets right after The Christmas Cabin was a treat as I was able to find out Alexis James’ story after being introduced to her sister, Carla, in the previous Christmas book. Known as the Ice Queen, Alexis has quite the story when she has a literal run-in with a man escaping bullets. I enjoyed that beneath her frosty exterior, she had a passion for collecting snow globes, granting us a peek into her complicated life. I could relate to her feeling disconnected and desiring the picturesque scenes of her globes, which was an apt analogy to how Alexis felt before God. Her no-nonsense approach made it even more endearing to see how she responded to Tom, who exuded warmth and genuine interest.

In solving the mystery of why Alexis and Tom were being targeted, I appreciated all of the twists and turns that the author provided as I was keen to see how it all came together. As a result, fans of literature and mysteries will not be disappointed in piecing all of the clues together. Readers looking for a suspenseful Christmas story with a heart that thaws over time toward God and love will enjoy this splendid scene out of a snow globe.

Review: For Us

If you've been following April Barcalow for some time, you'll be just as excited to know that she has recently released a marriage devotional. Newsletter subscribers can receive a free copy, and you can learn more about the background of For Us: Seeking God's Heart for Marriage on her website. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis All throughout Scripture, when God wants us to understand the close, intimate relationship He longs to have with us, He uses the imagery of marriage. That’s no coincidence. Marriage is an echo of the lasting love we share with Him, a framework to help us understand, and a gift. But good marriage, the kind that reflects Him, doesn’t happen without intention. Without building each piece on the solid foundation of Christ. Without choosing one another, even when it’s hard. This 30-day devotional weaves together Scripture, personal experience, and story threads to seek God’s ...
