Whispers from the Shadows

I don't think I've ever read a historical fiction set during the War of 1812, so that was fascinating, especially since both sides were presented. I really enjoyed having Ben and Winter back as key players and the parents now. However, in the last book, we never saw Ben in his laboratory so I never got a feel of him as the mad scientist that he was portrayed as here, and it didn't feel like it was the same person carried over. I liked Thad and Gwyn and their characters arcs okay, but they were far more physical this entire book than Christian romances usually are and that aspect felt too heavy handed, especially for the era.
Also, although I love their faith and the way they listen to the Holy Spirit, I've never known God to give impressions in that particular way, like a person always being able to sense when their loved one was near (not for any spiritual purpose) making a large part of the book feel fantastical. Despite the incredible plot twist, overall, I didn't love this book as much as I wanted to and rounded up from 3.5 stars.
