I've got something for y'all I like to call a double whammy. That's right. Not just one cover reveal...TWO! No, neither of them are of Bound and Determined (yet!), but they are for two fantastical fairytale retellings releasing this year! I'm a part of the Feathers and Roses: All Things Fairy Tale Dual Cover Reveal, hosted by Jen’s Author Assistance, which means I get to share about Jenavieve's own debut novel, Roses, Thorns, and Curses, AND Iron by Madisyn Carlin (which are

Warning: So, in light of the catastrophe that is my latest review, I have decided to restructure my reviews again to make my views clearer, rants calmer, and feedback more constructive. Please bear with me as I get all this sorted out—thank you! (Thanks to Kristianne Hassman for the idea!) Stars: 4 Synopsis: The best days of Lai Duyên’s life have just begun...or have they? Only days after becoming a member of her local calligraphy guild, Duyên’s guild is visited by the guardi

A Wolf's Rose, M.C. Kennedy's Christian YA fantasy novel, is officially out in the world! In honor of its release, I've joined M.C.'s blog tour (which I'll be sharing all about in just a moment)... In fact, I get to have her on for an exclusive (I love that word) author interview! Without further ado, please welcome the lovely Miss Kennedy! What first inspired you to write? I’m the second of four kids, and I always had to do what my older brother was doing. When we were in el

*Warnings* #1 This is a long review, so pull up a chair and grab a bowl of popcorn. You’ll be here awhile. #2 When I read a review, I want substantial information. So I will not skimp on the details. Which may mean some spoilers, so watch out. Stars: 5 Synopsis: When criminal charges are brought against her father, mob boss’s daughter Sabina Mancari sees the world of the Mafia for what it truly is: dark, deceptive, cruel, and self-serving. She also begins to see her fiancé—th

I am SUPER excited to share with y'all an upcoming release by M.C. Kennedy, a young, up-and-coming Christian fantasy author!

I dunno about y'all, but I am STOKED for Madisyn Carlin's debut novel, Deceived, which is a new adult Christian allegorical fantasy!

Stars: 3.5 Synopsis: Even though Tony Dorence has returned home from prison, alive only by the grace of God, he, his sister, and his friends are plagued by many more trials that threaten their lives and their faith. Will they stand strong in the face of doubt and persecution? Ooh, boy. This...this long-awaited (I waited a day...still too long) sequel to Fled for Refuge (one word: cliffhanger) was both everything I wanted and nothing like I’d hoped. If that’s confusing, don’t

Y'all...the sequel to Fled for Refuge by Kristina Hall is HERE!!!

Stars: 4 Synopsis: In a world that hates Christianity and everything it stands for, the lives of Tony Dorence and his sister Merri begin to crumple amid the persecution of the government and the betrayal of those they know and love.

She’s jumped into a new genre, new world, and new cast o

Stars: 4 Synopsis: The day Em Gades received the summons letter that she, of all the nine thousand people left on earth, had been chosen to compete in The Reflections, she had no idea what she’d be up against. When she arrives a few days later, she’s met with a corrupt government, danger on all sides, willful murder, betrayal, and more questions than there are answers. Y’all, it seems like just yesterday that I was signed up to beta-read The Reflections, and yet it’s been a y

Stars: 4.5 Synopsis: Returning to his childhood home of Russia should’ve been a time of joy, reunion, and happy memories for Gabriel Kelly. Should’ve been...but for the fact that he’d returned to bury his parents. As the days pass, the shadowy circumstances surrounding the deaths of his missionary parents pull Gabe in along with all those around him, drawing them into a world of danger they’re wholly unprepared for. Man, I am ashamed of myself. I finished this back in August
