Now tell me how one story can wrap you in from the very beginning? Well, Sarah Monzon has clearly raise the rankings on my internal authors list. Finders Keepers being her sophomore novel, it's so different from The Isaac Project, which by the way, I loved (click on the title to see my review); that I was not expecting it to be. OK. I am at a lost of words.  Like The Isaac Project, I was invested from the beginning with Isabella in 1689. Yes, 1689. And you thought this was a contemporary story. Well, it is.  We then meet Summer in the present, and the "epitome of a Norse god incarnate" better known as "Thor's twin."  The initial scene between Summer and Trent was definitely smile-worthy.  Really? So early on? What am I going to do when I have to, say work.  Unfortunately for me, I had to put Finders Keepers down for a few hours before picking it back up, but needless to say, I was hooked.

Sarah has a way with her writing that makes it witty and comical, yet still manage to get down to the nitty gritty profundity of relationships with each other and God. She's able to draw out such wisdom in her characters' dialogues, that as readers, are more than benefited by it, but to be able to show such intricacy of emotions as well. Well, that solidify her name on my must read list for sure.  The storyline of Finders Keepers is fresh as we delve into the lives of these characters from different periods in time, and still find commonality that ties them all together. Refreshing and delightful. I would highly recommend, and even consider asking Sarah to try her hand on a full historical novel!
