Heaven Falls

I loved the romance novel conventions, which you handle so deftly: spunky, independent woman who still needs to be rescued just a bit; hero with chiseled jaw, who seems cold, hard and reticent, but reveals hidden tenderness and passion; the hero’s fabulously rich family in its big dark house replete with skeletons in the closets — and all the gothic DuMaurier-esque suspense. The book is wonderfully structured in that way, with chapter endings that lead you on, secrets and revelations at every turn. Loved the characters. Loved the new age and anthroposophic (and especially the Waldorf school) references. Loved the tarot reading. LOVED the discourses on the magical properties of herbs that begin every chapter. Loved the weather. Loved the reference to Wind Boy, one of my favorite childhood books. Loved the ending of chapter 22, especially.

Can’t wait to read the next one.

Heaven Falls was a wonderful leap into the lives and intrigue of many generations of
characters.  I was engrossed!  I loved the locations that you went
and your fluid descriptions of the places as well as the people, and then the weaving
together of their story.  And of course, the tension of the romance! So fun.

An excerpt from a review by Melanie Vatour:

The suspense was great. I just had to keep reading to find out what was going on and why the family was acting strange. I found myself saying “just one more chapter” but ended up reading for hours. You definitely need to start this book when you actually have time to read because you won’t be able to put it down. I could never have guessed how the story was going to unfold. I was truly left surprised.

I can honestly say that reading this book was one thrilling ride. A page-turner that kept me reading for hours at a time! I finished this 372 page book in less than two days, that’s how amazing it was.

This is my first time reading a book by the lovely Winslow and it sure won’t be my last. This one might even go in my pile of books to re-read.

An excerpt from a review by Bob Moats:

“I’m not overly excited about reading romance stories, but this book took so many twists and turns it became more of a mystery novel to me. Who is the mysterious Ari, and what are his reasons for hovering over Freya and Tess? What is the story behind Philip, the scarred, wheelchair-confined brother who wants to marry Tess? Mystery abounds, and doesn’t give an inch till later after murder attempts, kidnapping across the globe and deceitful goings on in the family.  I give this book a resounding endorsement, definitely a wild ride.”

Just finished reading Heaven Falls by Winslow Eliot – a brilliant book, couldn’t put it down … suspense, intrigue, fast pace, what more could you want! The little stories and facts about the essential oils were fab too, although I was so involved in the story that at times I didn’t read them till I’d finished the whole book.

Fans of Winslow Eliot (Bright Face of Danger) will be thrilled to know she has published another sensational novel, Heaven Falls. This dramatic story features single mom heroine Tess Duncan, who takes a trip to the world’s most exclusive spa and finds her entire life changed forever. This is the type of book that will have your family members shouting, “Can’t you put that book down for five minutes?” –And of course the answer is no, you can’t. I don’t review many books. But this one is definitely 5 Stars! –I’d give it 6 if they had a place for it.
