Great Book !!!

Forbidden by Eve Bunting was good. I recommend other people to read the book. It's is one of my favorite ones. What I like about the book is the Eve Bunting put a lot of details in the book and you can imagine the settings in your head, if it was a peaceful or scary place. What I dislike about that book is that the ending was so good and wished there was more. Hope Eve Bunting makes a second part. It's is fine to leave as the first book. I chose this rating because it was just a good book. The ending got me like 😱😱. My friends have read it and they were like that to. Really good book to read !!

An Atmospheric Must Read

Okay, so I happened upon this book as part of dive into books by authors from Northern Ireland. Now, Eve Bunting has made residence in Southern California similar to myself, so this was the appeal to start with this one.
Unlike other Northern Ireland authors, this book is set in Scotland. It was historical fiction and created an atmosphere of suspense. Really enjoyed this book, even though it is very short. It didn't stray from the storyline and had a romantic twist to the tale at the conclusion.
