Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

3 Solid Reasons I Hate Saying Goodbye to a Great Series

by Chautona Havig · 5 Comments

At Lighthouse Point is the final book in the Three Sisters Series by Suzanne Woods Fisher, & with rich storytelling, it does not disappoint. via @chautonahavig

Time to read At Lighthouse Point. I remember the night I read the first book in the Three Sisters Island series. I was in a rush to get it done (like tonight) and expected that I’d have to reread later because of that rush.  Instead, I read it and reread it, finishing pretty late in the morning for me picture staying up hours past your bedtime and it was that equivalent).

Somehow, I missed the second book in the series, but last night I finally pulled out At Lighthouse Point and reminded myself that there was no way I’d be able to miss a single word.

3 Solid Reasons I Hate Saying Goodbye to a Great Series

  1. It’s like moving away from dear friends. You’d rather stay put and remain a part of their daily lives.
  2. You don’t always know where your next “fix” will come from. (Anyone have another series for me?)
  3. I don’t have time for as many rereads as I used to. It could be YEARS before I get to do a full reread again.

What isn’t there to love about the ocean, friends, and family?  Throw in a lighthouse, some family drama, stir in faith and a guy who knows just when to dish out the best nuggets of wisdom, and you’ve got yourself a killer book idea.

Put Suzanne Woods Fisher at the keyboard, and you’ve got yourself a wonderful book.

Look, when I requested a review copy of At Lighthouse Point, I expected to love it. Ms. Fisher has not disappointed me yet.  I’ve loved everything of hers I’ve read.  In fact, I seriously loved this book despite a few things that annoyed me. That takes some seriously amazing writing to pull off.

But I wasn’t prepared for the depth and the richness of this story. I can tell the book was written with an eye to being perfect for a stand-alone read. However, I personally wouldn’t advise it.  First, you’d miss out on so much.  Having read the first fabulous book (review HERE) and having missed the second, I know I’d love this even more if I’d read that middle book.  Guess what I’m ordering today!

The series is THAT good.

With her usual gentleness and strength, Ms. Fisher tackles some difficult topics in At Lighthouse Point, but not all of them are explored in great depth. That’s a good thing. Instead of showing the exact way to handle tough situations, Ms. Fisher shows us that we should handle the situations period. How we do that is left up to us. I think that’s rather brilliant.

In the end, you’re left with a wonderful, feel-good “beach read” that has depth and grit, too.

So what didn’t I like about At Lighthouse Point?

Mostly two small things. Jean-Paul is a fun addition to the story, but like most stories with phonetic spellings of accents, it gets old.  Fast. It’s always so difficult to know just how much of that to put into a book, and I applaud Ms. Fisher for tackling a difficult accent to portray. It just pulled me out of the story quite a bit.

And probably the most important was how the end wrapped up. This I also totally get.  When you have three books to tie up finally, it’s really difficult not to drag things out in an attempt not to rush things.  So, you work hard to ensure you don’t drag it out and… well, I feel like the ending, particularly the resolution of the relationship between Artie and Blaine, was definitely rushed. It feels weird to say that since the romance is lowest on my importance scale, but there you have it.  Am I sorry I requested and received that free review copy?  Nope. Not at all.

Is that going to keep me from buying the second book to find out what I missed? Not on your life. I’ll be rereading all three so I can have the “binge” experience. Because I love this series enough to want that.

Recommended for lovers of Suzanne Woods Fisher’s writing, lovers of family stories, and lovers of fiction with substance. Not recommended if you want only fluff.

    This was an awesome series. I just loved that she included all the characters in all three books. No one was left behind! One of my favorite contemporary series! I bunged them. #1 was on my kindle, #2 was from the library and #3 was for review.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 429: A Chat with J. A. Webb
byChautona Havig

Christian dystopian thrillers are too few and far between, but author J. A. Webb has a great one for us. Listen in while we chat about his Seekers Series and the second book, Inheritance.

Mix a corrupt secret society along with a priest on the run, and you’ve got a great mix. This series promises to be full of amazing twists and turns. 

  Inheritance by J. A. Webb

 A Dystopian Thriller of Deception, Faith, and the Fight for Truth

The Order has been betrayed. The hunters have been loosed.

Father Curtis has forsaken his vows. He has left the Order and joined the Seekers, a hidden rebellion dedicated to uncovering the truth long buried by the global church. But walking away from the Order does not mean escaping its reach.

When word spreads that a copy of the True Text — the original thirty-nine books of the Creator — has surfaced on the far side of the world, Curtis, Professor Reuel, and Phillip embark on a desperate mission. If they can retrieve the artifact, it could change everything. If they fail, the truth will be lost forever.

But the Eye of the Eternal, the secret police of the Order, has already mobilized. Their assassins are relentless. Their power is absolute. And they will stop at nothing to silence the truth.

Outnumbered and hunted, Curtis and his allies must risk everything to defy an empire built on deception. But against such overwhelming darkness, is faith enough? Or will their inheritance — humanity’s true past — be erased from history once and for all?

The war for truth has begun. And the Order will not suffer heretics to live.

A Gripping Tale of Power, Deception, and the Courage to Seek Truth

🔥 Perfect for fans of dystopian thrillers like 1984, Brave New World, and The Da Vinci Code—but with a Christian twist!

⚡ A suspense-filled journey into a world where illusion is law and questioning it means death.

📖 If you love stories of faith, defiance, and the battle against unseen tyranny, this is the book for you.

The Order has ruled from the shadows long enough. Are you ready to see the truth?
