I’m not going to lie After the Shadows is my first Amanda Cabot novel, but it won’t be my last. I enjoyed that it while it was a historical fiction it also had a bit of romance and mystery to it.

It was the mystery part of the book that kept me turning pages to find out what happened. I loved that Craig, the new schoolteacher and new to town believed Emily when no one else did. It took me a bit to warm up to Emily but when I did, I loved her. Though I had to say my two favorites were Noah because he was such a toddler. And Beulah and not just because that’s my grandmas name but because she was a sweetheart, and I loved her child like faith.

Though my favorite part was the gift that Beulah’s grandma gave her on page 137 that was technically from Emily’s mother. It was bittersweet because it hit close to home.

With this one I laughed and I cried. And of course, solved a mystery. Can’t wait for book two in the series.
