My Review
The Hidden Prince by Tessa Afshar.
Such a sweet and delightful book. I finished it few minutes after 3 AM. I couldn’t help flipping page after page reading through the lives of amazing loveable characters.
Tessa as usual blew my mind with her great imagination. Cyrus, Jared and Keren were indeed characters I could relate to realistically.
There are major themes to glean from this book and I will leave that for you to figure out.
The title and the book cover are worthy of your attention. I am rating this book five golden stars because this is so good to read. I really enjoy biblical fiction and I am pleased Tessa Afshar did not disappoint.
I voluntarily reviewed this book. Opinions expressed in this review are mine.
