A Harmony for Steve by Hallee Bridgeman

While reading this book the first thing that came to mind was a scripture. That scripture, in my opinion, sums up this whole entire book. That scripture is Ephesians 6: 12 " For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."(KJV). Hallee manifests spiritual warfare into flesh. We see Harmony and Steve have to battle against the spiritual wickedness which is a battle for the ages. Harmony is a Christian artist who crosses over into the Pop. Her family worries that the world will influence her but she stands firm in her belief that God is leading her to sing the songs she sings in the venues she sings them. Steve is a rockstar and the lead singer of a group whose name literally means Hell. You would think they would never cross paths, however, at a benefit concert in California they literally bump into each other backstage. This starts a j...

A Carol for Kent by Hallee Bridgeman

Where do I begin? This 3rd book in the Song of Suspense series has taken me on a whirlwind of emotions almost like I am on a never ending roller coaster ride with all the twist and turns! I thought I knew what was happening and then at the end I was like "What?! Oh my gosh I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!" The shock of it all!! I have to say I enjoyed this book tremendously and here is why: **Possible Spoilers** In the beginning we learn about Carol and how she has a daughter named Lisa whose father we later find out is a singer. Carol has an interesting relationship with her child's grandparents, who told her years ago that their son did not want anything to do with the child. This is interesting because later on in the book we discover that they lied, and the reason they lied will make you shed a little tear. Carol is an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney for the state of Virginia who tries murder cases. She works closely with the police in order to put criminals away. She...

An Aria For Nick by Hallee Bridgeman

I love how the Author created flashbacks within the story giving you the background of both the main characters in a way that you never got lost. Most Authors set up flashbacks within their storyline that makes it so that you never know when you are back in the present or still in the past. It was great to see some of the characters from A Melody For James make cameos throughout the storyline. You see the relationship not just between nick and Aria but also between nick and his own father begin to heal after years of hurt that went deeper than even the physical pains. Aria a pianist turned nuclear engineer was suppose to be "handled" by Nick but in turn he helps her in away that it could have only been orchestrated by God. So the Question is will past hurts get in the way of doing God's will? Will Aria be able to cope with seeing a man she thought she buried years ago suddenly appearing in her life? All I know is Aria showed her strength even back in High School and...

A Melody For James written by Hallee Bridgeman

A Melody for James, what can I say except I truly LOVED this book! After I started reading this book  I could not put it down until the very end.  At first I was like what is going on in the beginning with James wife being killed because like normal people I always read the back cover for a synopsis of what to expect. Then as I was reading I saw how things tied together and how this invisible man was really someone really close to Melody. I also love how she overcame a domestic violence situation and in doing so she used that  to catapult herself into using her God-given gift, which was to sing. Then I admired how even in tragedy James decided to minister to the man that kidnapped his wife.  This particular scene emulates how we are suppose to forgive someone, not for their peace of mind but for our own salvation. Also, this taught me how the true and living God, by using tough situations and events, can use us as a beacon of light to minist...
