PRAISE FOR HARMON GENERAL:
"The war that changed the world brought the world to East Texas through Harmon General, a significant US Army hospital that treated thousands of wounded soldiers in Longview. In Harmon General, we meet again Lane Mercer, a World War II heroine, and we enjoy again how the drama of her secret service to the nation and her complicated personal relationships pull us into the vast impact of the world war." -- Dale Lunsford, Ph.D., President, LeTourneau University
“Harmon General is a brilliant story for historical fiction readers! Set in World War II, the female spies, Army hospital setting, and drama amongst the Longview townsfolk kept me riveted and engaged until the very end.” - Jody T. Morse

WAYS REVIEW: OH MY GOSH. I never do this, but I must start
this review by saying the epilogue at the end is magnificent and I CRIED Y’ALL.
There, I said it. To say I really
enjoyed reading Harmon General, book
two in the Misfits and Millionaires series by the always awesome Kimberly Fish,
is a gross understatement. The mark of a
great book is when I get so caught up in the story that I forget I am supposed
to be reading it critically. What wonderfully unexpected twists there are –
right to the very end. This is a five-star story, all the way.
Harmon
General begins with a prologue that does a great job of setting
Emmie Tescoe’s state of mind and the numerous conflicts she’s battling (internally
and externally). Where in The
Big Inch, (side note: free eBook download today!) she was
tough-as-nails and somewhat cold, in HG, she’s
human and readers will enjoy watching more of her complicated story unfold. The
epilogue that concluded the book, also about Emmie, (did I mention it MADE ME
CRY, Y’ALL), was the perfect bookend to the story. I may have hugged my
gorgeous print copy when I closed the cover.
In addition to the perfect
bookends, Fish includes some cool features that truly help readers get a feel
for the setting. There are maps included that show both actual historical locations
and fictitious ones that are included in the story line. Plus, there’s a “Cast
of Characters” section that helps readers reacquaint/acquaint themselves with
who is who and from where each character hails. These touches are what make the book
top-notch.
“You
have so much energy that you make people believe that danger is just a passing
ghost.
This is the third book I’ve
ready by Kimberly Fish, and her writing shines in Harmon General by painting vibrant pictures of people and places
that bring the story alive. The world-building puts readers in the midst of a
bustling and exciting Longview, Texas at the height of the war. The characters are real, really flawed, and
really memorable – from the quirky clothier to the jazz club diva, the book is
filled with personality.
One of my favorite aspects
of the plot is that in the midst of all the spy action and the romance and the friend
and family drama, main character Lane Mercer is a businesswoman running a book
store! (Ka-ching: librarian points scored). Between the Lines Bookstore is a
hub of activity (both during and after business hours) and adds several extra
dimensions to the plot.
Of course, Harmon General ends with a little hook
that assures us there are more dangers and adventures ahead for Lane and Emmie.
The author has said that there’s another book in the works, and readers can look
forward to Lane and Zeke’s East Texas wedding (and certainly more of Aunt Edith’s
shenanigans). I love Lane Mercer and can hardly wait for the next Misfits and
Millionaires book… and how about a companion book about Emmie??
Thank you to Lone Star Book
Blog Tours and the author for sharing her amazing story with me in exchange for
my honest opinion – the only kind I give.
