In the shadows of World War II, trust becomes the greatest risk of all for two strangers.

I read this one in a day and really enjoyed it. Its short but so well told.

A girl, Franka who lost everything in life, find a new purpose as she finds an injured soldier amidst forest.With haunting past,untrustworthy present, & unpredictable future she struggles to rediscover her path. Crisp story with twist & turn makes it hard to put it down. A must read for WWII historical fiction lovers.

A young woman rescues a supposed Luftwaffe officer in the mountains. As their individual histories are revealed its apparent that their colliding paths couldn't be more serendipitous.
I couldn't put this down! I'm always a fan of WWII historical fiction. easy to read in terms of weight of subject matter as it focused mostly on the current plight of our protagonists as opposed to heavy, emotional WWII material. Nonetheless, well written!

Yep. Did the job! If you like WWll historical fiction. This is a straightforward story yet fast passed. Nice writing. And historically accurate.

Review || White Rose, Black Forest | Eoin Dempsey

White Rose, Black Forest was a tough one for me. The historical premise and backdrop was interesting, but as a thriller, it left a lot to be desired. It was a tense subject matter that deserved more action, mystery, and suspense.

#JazzyJune #BAndWBooks This one was on the #NewYearWhoDis list I received, and it's on my July TBR stack. I just read the first chapter and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it.

This wasn't a bad book. But it wasn't great. It was very flat for lack of a better word. Just didn't work for me.

We went to a library book sale today. Everything was half price, which meant that most books were under $1. I, however, just had to pick out four of their higher priced books ($8), which meant we paid $4 a piece for those.

Louisiana‘s Way Home, White Rose Black Forest, The Sun Does Shine, and Two Girls Down were all wish list books. I‘ve already read Defending Jacob but it was a library copy so I was happy to take this one home to own for .50.

I love these photo challenges bc they always cause me to stumble upon fantastic sounding books that I‘ve never heard of! This one is a WWII story about a German dissenter who finds the body of an unconscious Nazi airman in the woods and takes him back to her cabin to care for him. Possibly based on a true story? Add it to the list!

Good

The happenings in this book made me very nervous and anxious. (It would make a fabulous film.)

Franka‘s, the MC‘s, state of mind about the world is interesting and heartbreaking. What is the future worth when you lose people you love and you‘re ruled by a tyrant that seems unstoppable?

I enjoy World War II fiction and this book did not disappoint! It reads more like a thriller than historical fiction, with a fast pace and heart stopping suspense. I found that I was so nervous for the characters that I had to breathe deep and brace myself several times while reading this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Starting this one tonight. It was a Kindle First pick from earlier this year. Going to get one more book in before I start the 1,000 page book club book waiting for me. 😃📚 That 1,000 pager is going to make it tough to meet my goal for the number of books read for this year. 🤷‍♀️

It always amazes me how many stories are set during WWII, still I learn something new from each of them. This book is about a German woman, an ex-nurse, living in the wilderness of the Black Forest. She has lost her entire family through either illness or war and is wandering away from her cabin intending to commit suicide. Suddenly, she sees a half-frozen man unconscious on a snowy hillside. The drama begins there and grabs you to the end.

Next up!

This was such a heart racing book it was so hard to put it down. Another historical fiction I really enjoyed. A must pick this year... #whiteroseblackforest #eoindempsey

Man what a page turner! Had me going till the last second😫☺️ these are the books I live for! #suspense #tillthelastpage #wwii

The writing in this book is incredible😍

I somehow forgot until now to check the kindle first picks for the month. This book looks amazing.

Another very good get from Amazon First. I‘ve read a lot of WWII era historical fiction in the last few months, and this one is one of my favorites.

I just discovered amazon first reads and downloaded this. Historical fiction isn‘t my typical genre but it sounded good so I hope I love it!

My February Amazon First choice. Had a tough time choosing this month. Silent Victim looked good, too. 📚

I chose this from the Amazon first or kindle first or whatever it‘s called now. Yet another WWII novel....I can‘t seem to stop reading them 😊

I've been struggling. DNFed 3 books in the last couple of days. Downloaded this one through Amazon first reads. I woke up sick so maybe I can really get into it if I need to relax later.
