Book Spotlight: Grey by Christi J. Whitney
A little while ago, Christi Whitney asked me if I would please review her book, Grey. Christi is a great friend and I love everything she does (we’re Whovian friends and you know that means a special sort of friendship, right?) so I agreed. Though I really enjoyed the story, I was honest with Christi about not being a fan of supernatural books/romance. Vampires, werewolves, zombies…just not my thing. So I didn’t feel like I could do a review of the book since I’ve made a pretty public stand against those sorts of books. (Confusing eh? Because I did like this book – the writing is excellent and the storyline…

Review: Hook’s Revenge by Heidi Schulz
Hook’s Revenge by Heidi Schulz Genre: Children’s Publisher: Disney Hyperion Date: September 15, 2015 Jocelyn Hook isn’t an adventurer. She’s a pirate and anyone within her general radius knows it. Her father, the famed Captain Hook, left behind a map to his treasure and she’s not about to let anyone else get it. Not her father’s enemies or the enemies she’s managed to gather throughout her short lifespan. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always give you exactly what you’d like, so Jocelyn’s trek manages to get off her preferred course pretty quickly. In fact, at one point, she even manages to meet her long dead mother when she’s a teenager. It’s Neverland after…

Review: The Sword and the Song by C.E. Laureano
The Sword and the Song by C.E. Laureano Genre: Fantasy Publisher: NavPress Date: August 20, 2015 The end is coming. It’s going to be big, dramatic and there is no way that the Brotherhood or the villages are going to come out of it unscathed. Connor knows this. Eoghan knows this, and so does Aine. But what are they supposed to do about it? That’s the question. Pregnant, worried for her husband and aware of all the pain around her, Aine is doing her best to hold everything together. She knows that Eoghan has feelings for her and she can’t help but wonder if it’s her power that is making it happen…

Review: A.D. 33 by Ted Dekker
A.D. 33 by Ted Dekker Genre: Historical Fiction Publisher: Center Street Date: October 6, 2015 Maviah is in trouble. Like big trouble. We left her secure in the knowledge of Christ and his love, but as anyone knows, that can change for humans in a heartbeat. So that said, Maviah’s world is about to have a dangerous shift. She is a long distance away from where we started in A.D. 30. Now known as the Queen of the Desert, she has tens of thousands following her now. From wizened old Bedu warriors to young untried men, Maviah stands over them all. The woman who also lost a child brutally now has…

Review: A.D. 30 by Ted Dekker
A.D. 30 by Ted Dekker Genre: Historical Publisher: Center Street Date: August 4, 2015 Maviah is a woman scorned. Barely acknowledged by a father who wishes that she didn’t exist, her world is turned upside down when an enemy overtakes her father’s camp. Moments after watching her child be thrown to his death by the invading enemy, she embarks on a dangerous and, many would believe ludicrous, journey to try and salvage what’s left of her father’s estate. Even his life lies in her hands. Once an outcast child, now Maviah must comport herself as Queen of the Desert. It’s a new role for her and one she’s definitely not…

Review: The Sunken Realm by Serena Chase
The Sunken Realm by Serena Chase Genre: Fantasy Publisher: Candent Gate Date: September 28, 2015 I have a confession to make. I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. I could excuse it away with a busy schedule or laziness, but the reality is much different. See, this is the last book in a series. One of my favorite series. And the truth is, that I just don’t want this story to end. As brilliant and beautiful as this book is, it’s still the end and I’m not ready for it. I’m the person who refused to watch the last episode of Hart of Dixie for months and months…
