Widow Elizabeth Walton, an Amish quilter is coming home from work and is assaulted when she investigates why the barn door is open. The question is why?!? And why was she and David McKay, Englischer furniture maker fired upon? McKay has a past that might be the reason but then why was Elizabeth assaulted at her home? Who’s the real target this Christmas? Is there a connection? My review … A“Love Inspired Suspense” from Harlequin – Romance promises ” Courage. Danger. Faith. And “Amish Holiday Vendetta” delivers from the very beginning. Make sure to make your hot chocolate or coffee before you start reading or you will be carrying your tablet or book with you. Laura Scott knows how to grab your attention from the get-go. On top of being a target, Mammi Ruth, her mother-in-law, blames her for her son’s death even though Elizabeth wasn’t even with him when he fell to his death. And you won’t feel kindly toward the elders of the community when you find out how they acted after Adam’s death. And I ain’t gonna tell you one more thing. If you like Amish stories, you’ll like it. If you love Amish mysteries, you’ll love it. You like a Christmas, clean romance… The cover really depicts how Elizabeth must have felt in multiple instances. You didn’t think there were just two that involved her? I highly recommend this latest Amish mystery from Laura Scott. It should be no surprise I rate this one a 5-star read. I received a complimentary DRC (digital review copy) of “Amish Holiday Vendetta” via NetGalley from the publisher, HARLEQUIN – Romance (U.S. & Canada), Love Inspired Suspense.

Amish Holiday Vendetta by Laura Scott is a page turner. I was quickly drawn into the story. I liked the main characters, Elizabeth Walton and David McKay. They are characters that you will root for. There is mystery and suspense. I enjoyed all the action (you never knew what would happen next) which kept the story lively. There is romance (naturally). Elizabeth and David grow close during this challenging time in their lives. Elizabeth is a widow who did not have a happy marriage. The last thing Elizabeth wants is to marry again. Elizabeth works hard making and selling her beautiful quilts as well as doing the chores around the house and taking care of her deceased husband’s mother (who likes to be waited on). David is a woodworker who lives like the Amish (without modern amenities), but he is an Englisher. I like that we get to catch up with the characters (Shauna and Liam) from Hiding in Plain Sight. Amish Holiday Vendetta can be read as a standalone, but you are missing out on a captivating tale. Elizabeth’s faith is strong while David’s faith is new. They both trust God to get them through the difficulty. I like that they turned to God for assistance in their time of need (instead of taking matters into their own hands). I loved the ending which left me smiling. The author combined mystery, suspense, and romance into one fetching tale. Amish Holiday Vendetta is an engaging story with a demanding mother-in-law, a barn break in, perilous shots, a strongminded suitor, a caring community, and a dreadful discovery. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book.

This is a Clean Amish Romantic Suspense. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, and I liked the mystery in this book. There was a lot of suspense, and there were a lot of weird things happening that made you keep guessing what was going on. There was a great mix of suspense and romance in this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
