More Then Meets the Eye Book Review

I got this on my reserve shelf and I was able to start this new series after finding the second book in the series first.  More Than Meets the Eye by Karen Witemeyer was the first book in the new series.  I can't wait to find out what it is all about.

Many consider Evangeline Hamilton cursed. Orphaned at a young age and possessing a pair of mismatched eyes--one bright blue, the other dark brown--Eva has fought to find her way in a world that constantly rejects her. Yet the support of even one person can help overcome the world's judgments, and Eva has two--Seth and Zach, two former orphans she now counts as brothers.

Seeking justice against the man who stole his birthright and destroyed his family, Logan Fowler arrives in 1880s Pecan Gap, Texas, to confront Zach Hamilton, the hardened criminal responsible for his father's death. Only instead of finding a solitary ruthless gambler, he discovers a man not much older than himself with an unusual family. When Zach's sister, Evangeline, insists on dousing Logan with sunshine every time their paths cross, Logan finds his quest completely derailed. Who is truly responsible for his lost legacy, and will restoring the past satisfy if it means forfeiting a future with Evangeline?

This was an amazing book that drew me in straight from the beginning.  Evangeline is a cute young girl who was traveling across the country with her brother Hamilton.  They were on the orphan train after they lost their parents.  Evie has two different color eyes and in 1879, that was considered a sign of the devil by many.  Hamilton did not want to be adopted without his sister so he was trying to figure out what to do and he asked another orphan on the train for some help.  Zach was the angry boy on the train that scared away everyone who was trying to adopting them so Hamilton went to him for help.  He had amazing advice that worked and Evie, Hamilton, Zach and Seth weren't adopted so they were headed back on the train when tragity strikes.  The train derails and Hamilton is hurt saving Zach's life.  In the process, Zach promises to watch out for Evie and Seth which he takes to heart and the whole book is how Zach starts supporting tow kids when he was 13 years old.  You have to pick up the book to find out what happens when Zach takes on this challenge but I promise you won't be disappointed.  I hope that you check out this book and stay turned for the next book review!  I hope that you enjoy this wonderful series for yourself.
