Happy Friday Friends :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.
Are you doing anything exciting for the weekend? I was supposed to be attending a Christmas service with my family, but our area is predicted to get a big snowstorm tomorrow, and I'm not sure if that will still be happening or not.
Even if it doesn't, I'm still looking forward to enjoying many festive things like baking, wrapping, and watching Christmas movies, and I hope to curl up with at least one Christmas themed read this weekend as well.
Today's post is an exciting one for me, because today I get to share with all of you my review for Kristina Hall's newest release that just so happens to be the third and final book in her Moretti Trilogy.
You can check out my reviews for the first two books below and then keep on reading for my review of the newest book:
Truth Unshaken by Kristina Hall:

Genre: Christian Fiction/Christian Suspense/Historical Fiction

Synopsis:
Whom can they trust?
After losing her parents, Carla Belardi discovers her life was a lie. Now, she must flee unless she wants her parents’ fate to be her own.
Frank Ashton lost the use of his legs—and his desire to live—in the Great War. When Carla is brought to his home injured, he gains a friend. But despite the attraction growing between them, he can never burden her with a cripple.
Alberto Moretti thought he could do good working for the Prohibition Unit—until he finds out his new employer isn’t much better than the criminals he once served. Now, he has to fight both sides—the Prohibition Unit and the crooked Belardis.
When danger surrounds Carla, Frank, and Alberto from too many angles, will they put their trust in the Truth that will never be shaken?

My Review:
Truth Unshaken is the third installment in Kristina Hall's Moretti Trilogy, and this book has honestly left me still thinking about it days after finishing it. This entire trilogy has been a wild ride from start to finish, and I've enjoyed each and every moment. Set in the prohibition era, this trilogy focuses around the devastation and challenges one family has been forced to face at the hands of mobsters and gangsters, and heavily emphasizes the need for our Savior Jesus amidst any struggle we may find ourselves facing.
In this particular title, we get Frank's story, and I've been (im)patiently waiting on this one! Frank's injuries from the war have left him bitter, resentful and unforgiving towards some of his family members, and he starts to realize that he's not really living the Christian life he claims to be. When an injured woman is brought to his family's home, the mobster life hits closer than he could have expected, and he soon realizes that he'll go to any length to see Carla protected, even if it means having to join forces with the brother in law that he's never been able to bring himself to accept.
I loved Frank and Carla's story, and just how much the redemptive message comes to mean to both of them throughout their journey. I always appreciate how authentically and flawlessly Kristina Hall manages to incorporate the faith message in each and every one of her stories, and this one may just be my favorite yet.
However, I have to say my absolute favorite part of this entire story was Moretti's journey. He's come so far from the first book, and even though this book opens up another dangerous escapade that he never could have expected, he learns to trust his Heavenly Father no matter what, and the reader sees such growth in his character over the course of the story.
I'm so sad to see this trilogy come to an end, but it definitely got the conclusion it deserved, and I can't wait to see what Kristina Hall has in store for her reader's next!
Final Rating: 5/5.
Thanks so much to Kristina Hall for allowing me to read and review this one!
