What would you do if your dying father and dying wife both urged you to find a mysterious "Book of Days?" Cameron Vaux didn't pay too much attention until his memory started failing him. His father's warnings that he'd die of the same disease sends him on an odyssey that will change the course of his life.
Meanwhile, his late wife's friend, Anne Bannister, is on her own quest. She's tired of being alone in the world and searches for her biological family. Even though she and Cameron have a history, she's nervous about getting hurt again.
With plenty of antagonists, strange doings, and a healthy dose of romance, Jim Rubart has once again produced a story with multiple layers of truth. I related to the characters on so many levels, including Cameron's agony over the loss of his wife.
If I had a rating system, this baby would be off the charts. Loved it!
Have you read any books lately that "wowed" you? Please share.

Wow - I'll have to read this one. Question - do you have to read Rooms first? I've been meaning to get to that one too!
Hi Katie -
No. Book of Days is not part of a series. Both books are stand-alone novels. I highly recommend them both.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Wow, I keep hearing about Rubart and his books sound SO intriguing! Thanks for another great review!
Thanks for the review Susan! A book that "wowed" me? Hhmm.. you have me thinking again...
Hi Susan .. definitely sounds like a good buy .. your description entices us in ... and the other one too - I'll have to remember James' name .. cheers Hilary
Oh, you did it again! Another book to go on my list!
A book that wowed me was Ann Shorey's The Dawn of a Dream. It's a fantastic read, and Ann writes beautifully. I was jolted back to reality when the next page was the acknowledgements and the story was over. I was sad it was over, but it was a very satisfying ending.
Thanks
Oooh, nice review! This looks like a goodie!! A book that wowed me--Demon by Tosca Lee. It was awesome!
Sounds like a good book. Thanks for the review.

Hi Kristen -
Now, I have another book to add to my Wish List. :)
One of my criteria for a "Wow" book is: does it leave me wanting more?

Hi Jill -
I didn't read that book, but I did read Havah. Tosca Lee is another excellent author.
