Thief of Corinth by Tessa AfsharMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I will do a full review a little closer to the release date, but I will say that I loved this story and its characters. Tessa Afshar has written yet another winner! She has become an author that I just pre-order the book when I know she has one coming out because I just know it will be good!

The short review: I loved it! Buy it! :)
The more detailed review:
I have thoroughly loved all the books by Tessa Afshar that I’ve read, and I plan on going back and reading older ones I didn’t find out about until I had read the newer ones. Matter of fact, I’ve already purchased the other ones to read instead of just borrowing them from the library.
Thief of Corinth is a great story. Although it is set in the 1st century, it will feel very relatable to those in the 21st century. Have you ever sought approval from a parent or grandparent, felt you needed to prove yourself, wanted to fit in? Are you a child of divorce? If you can answer yes to any of those questions, then you’ll be to relate to Ariadne, the main character.
This story has it all...adventure, romance, betrayal, redemption, plot twists, and a timeless message of hope. I particularly liked that actions had consequences and that Ariadne’s struggle to come to faith was realistic.
Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction (especially those set in Biblical times), books with redeeming themes, or books with a strong female lead.
I received a complimentary copy of Thief of Corinth from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. This review is my honest opinion of the book.
