I’d once likened love to a crippling disease, but in truth, it was a cure. A haven for healing. With God’s love within me and Warren holding me tight, my heart could soar to the highest heights.

Wow! Rachel has knocked my socks off with this one. This book had it all: mystery, suspense, danger, action, betrayal, faith and so much swoony romance!

Set during the roaring 20s, Rachel fills our minds with the opulent lifestyle of the upper class, the excitement of thrill seeking by way of the barnstorming craze that swept the countrysides, and dawning of a new age where women began to find their voice, their strength, and the courage to pursue dreams that literally let their hopes fly. What an exciting time period to explore!

I loved everything about this story. Geneva was an amazing character. She was extremely protective of her sister and sought every way to ensure her happiness and safety. She was the dutiful daughter. Acknowledged, but never feeling love, until the day a handsome stranger walks into her life. Their unexpected meeting quickly leads to a whirlwind romance that crashes and burns before it ever truly soars. When her world starts to crumble, Geneva sets off to find the truth. With gusto and guts, she takes to the skies to search high and low for answers.

What a spectacular story! I love happily ever afters, but it’s even more special when you get the story after the couple says I do. The moments that make or break a marriage, the times when love is put through the crucible, the trials that further deepen the bond and put to test the vows exchanged. It makes for a more meaningful and tender romance that you just want to bask in. Get ready for your pulse to race and your heart to soar, all while you melt into a big ol’ puddle.

First, this story was really different from most historical novels I’ve read over the last year. I loved the addition of a female pilot and planes. It made this story really stand out from my normal read. Second. I also loved the plot of a historical murder-mystery. You really felt the emotions Geneva was going through at each turn. Her grief, sadness, and righteous anger came through each page. This book had me questioning every character and motive. Several times, I thought I found who the murderer was, only to be surprised in the end! The writing was very well done and it definitely kept me engaged. Very unique story that I had a lot of fun reading.

Rachel Scott McDaniel brilliantly transports her readers to the 1920s in this novel full of secrets, faith, and romance. Twists and turns abound throughout this intriguing mystery as we walk alongside the heroine who leaves her glittering life behind to disguise herself as an aviatrix in order to search for clues behind her husband’s murder. Impossible to put down, this book left me in awe, inspired, and wanting to read the story again.

Walking on Hidden Wings was a delightful and thoroughly intriguing read. It is a blend of history and Agatha Christie style mystery with a dash of sweet romance. I enjoyed reading a story set in a slice of history not often put to page, and the twists and turns kept me going - never a dull moment. What a fun introduction to author Rachel Scott McDaniel.

There is a reason Rachel Scott McDaniel is an auto-buy author for me, and that's because she writes some of the best historical romance fiction. Walking on Hidden Wings is no exception. You are immediately captivated from the first page and enchanted until the end. McDaniels' storytelling flows so beautifully it plays like a movie in my mind.

The relationship between the two main characters, Warren and Geneva, shows that some things are worth fighting for.

We follow Geneva who takes to the skies as "Stella" doing Barnstorming shows in small towns to try and find clues as to who killed her husband, but rather finds something even more surprising. The shocking twists will surprise you and take you to an ending you won't see coming.

From start to finish, this book is wonderful. I couldn't put it down. Rachel Scott McDaniel has done it again and made my heart sigh with this thrilling, romantic historical fiction set in the 1920s.
