My Rating: 4.4
On North Carolina's stormy Outer Banks. Sunday is raised on the Pea Island Life-Saving Station by the influence of the Station's heroic all-black crewmen. Under their loving protection, she blossoms into a strong and beautiful young woman with a spirit to match. But Sunday's secluded paradise cannot last. Her calm, simple days by the sea must inevitably give way to the fast-approaching storms of life. Unexpectedly, those darkening skies bring with them an unlikely mix of forbidden love, murder, and revenge along with a Nazi submarine carrying millions of dollars in gold stolen from Hitler's Third Reich. First in a trilogy, Sunday's Child begins the saga of three unique families from across the world, flung fatally together by three of mankind s most basic traits: war, love, and greed.
I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of this book with it's well developed characters and interesting story-line. As other reviewers have mentioned, the last 1/4 felt so far fetched and written with an forced sequel in mind that it was very off putting. As much as I enjoyed this book, I won't be reading any more from this series.
