"I enjoyed some parts of the book but at times I got bored and couldn't figure out where the story line was going... I finished the book because I don't like to start and not finish.. Overall it was ok.."
— Nakia (4 out of 5 stars)
I absolutely love Vanessa’s unique writing style. She is one of a kind.
— Mary Monroe, New York Times best-selling author“Griggs’s newest (after Redeeming Waters), exploring her common themes of fidelity and spiritual faith, is also a lesson in emotional infidelity.”
— Publishers Weekly“Griggs is truly a master at writing characters who feel real and dealing with issues of the heart that readers can identify with. From the very first page, the reader will be drawn into the first-person account of “the woman caught in the very act of adultery” and be held spellbound until the end. When the final showdown involving all of the characters occurs, the outcome is surprising.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)" This story contained a unique story line. I enjoyed it, although the story moved slowly until the end. Overall, I was impressed! "
— Brandis, 11/20/2013" I just couldn't get into the storyline of this book. I've read another of Vanessa Griggs books and enjoyed it, but the characters and their inability to really deal with their relationships in this book just plain annoyed me. "
— Kathleen, 8/3/2013" It was a little long winded probably because the writer sounded like she was giving sermons throughout the book. The back cover gives the impression that the two characters commit adultery. In actuality they deal with the emotional connection or emotional cheating that can occur. "
— Angela, 4/24/2013" I have recently ventured into the Christian fiction genre. While I was impressed by the delivery, the subject matter of this particular novel was lost on me. I did sympathize with the heroine, but still found her actions improper. Had a hard time getting pass that. "
— Kara, 10/8/2012" Way too many bible quotes for my taste. "
— Carol, 6/3/2012" I love the way that Ms. Griggs writes about real-life issues. "Forever Soul Ties" wasn't spectacular, but it was decent and satisfying at the end. "
— Anino, 5/1/2012" too much non-factors...didn't really get good to the last pages.. enjoyed it but expected more "
