<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 3 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText4137265814113393455">One woman with a deep
desire to serve and help. One brave who will stop at nothing to save his
people. Each willing to die for their beliefs and love for one another.
Will their sacrifice be enough?<br /><br />As a female medical doctor in
1864, Sadie Hoppner is no stranger to tragedy and loss. While she
grapples with the difficulties of practicing medicine at a Colorado
outpost, she learns that finding acceptance and respect proves
especially difficult at Fort Lyon.<br /><br />Cheyenne brave Five Kills
wants peace between his people and the American Army. But a chance
encounter with their female doctor ignites memories from his upbringing
among the whites … along with a growing fondness for the one person who
seems to understand him and his people. As two cultures collide with
differing beliefs of right and wrong, of what constitutes justice and
savagery, blood spills on the Great Plains. When the inevitable war
reaches Fort Lyon, the young couple's fledgling love is put to the test.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: The Massacre at Sand Creek is one of the most upsetting massacres I can remember ever learning about. The details are horrifying and the subject dark, so I was genuinely interested in how Uhlarik would depict it. And I believe that she did the event justice in her telling without making the story graphic or needlessly upsetting.<br />
<br />
However, I did not connect as well with the characters. Sadie, in particular, frustrated me with the way she handled most of the conversations she had with her brother and his friend. Instead of truly sticking up for herself and making her own decisions, she tended to lock herself in her room or give them the silent treatment for a while before capitulating.<br />
<br />
And the end of the story is something that I am torn on. It makes sense with the element of supernatural dreams that is woven throughout, and gives Five Kills a miracle that would have fit naturally into his outlook on the world. Yet I didn't find it as satisfactory as the ending which I had anticipated.<br />
<br />
Overall, this is a well told story. The writing is wonderful and the historical and religious threads woven in naturally. But there are things that I wish had been slightly different.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText6307750173602687379">Strong-willed Tirzah
wants to join her people in driving the enemy from the land of Israel
and undergoes training for a secret mission inside the stronghold of
Shechem. But soon after she has infiltrated the ruthless Aramean
commander's kitchen, she makes a reckless decision that puts her and her
allies in grave danger.<br /><br />Fresh off the battlefield, Liyam returns
home to discover his beloved daughter is dead. After his vow to hunt
down her killer leads to months of fruitless pursuit, his last hope is
in a family connection that comes with strings attached. Strings that
force him to pose as a mercenary and rescue an infuriating woman who
refuses to leave her mission uncompleted.<br /><br />When an opportunity to
pave a path to a Hebrew victory arises, can Tirzah convince Liyam to
fight alongside her in the refuge city of her birth? Or will Liyam's
thirst for vengeance outweigh his duty to his people, his God, and the
woman he's come to love?</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: I absolutely love Connilyn's books. Each story is more and more interesting, telling the stories of people who are not in the Bible, but lived through the events that took place in scripture. This series in particular has stood out, as Connilyn has presented many different reasons that someone might be a Blood Avenger or else be fleeing from one.<br />
<br />
Tirzah's story is a strong one. Unlike many novels with characters who decide to spy on their enemies, Tirzah's subterfuge is made believable by her having trained to actually preform the task she has set herself to. Though it does take some time for the two main characters to meet up, the story is engaging even without the main focus being on their relationship at the beginning.<br />
<br />
I am sad to see this series end, but excited for what comes next from Connilyn. So far, everything she has written has placed her firmly on my 'have to read' list, as well as my recommend to friends one. Whether you have read anything else by this author or not, I highly recommend this book.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 3 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText4376908238442572040">Young CIA officer Talia
Inger has reconciled with the man who assassinated her father, but that
doesn't mean she wants him hovering over her every move and unearthing
the painful past she's trying to put behind her. Still, she'll need
him--and the help of his star grifter, Valkyrie--if she hopes to
infiltrate the Jungle, the first ever crowdsourced crime syndicate, to
rescue a group of kidnapped refugee children.<br /><br />But as Talia and
her elite team of thieves con their way into the heart of the Jungle,
inching ever closer to syndicate boss the White Lion, she'll run right
up against the ragged edge of her family's dark past. In this game of
cat and mouse, it's win . . . or die. And in times like that, it's
always good to have someone watching your back.<br /><br />Former tactical
deception officer and stealth pilot James Hannibal takes you deep
undercover into the criminal underworld where everyone has an angle and
no one escapes unscathed.</span>
<br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: I didn't find this installment to be quite as easy to get into as the last one. It doesn't seem like all that long ago since I read the previous book, but already I had forgotten who most of the main characters were and how they had all come together. So when this story picked up, I wasn't as invested in the character's or their dynamics as I remember being previously.<br />
<br />
Whereas the previous book built up to some of the greater feats these characters could pull off, <i>Chasing the White Lion</i> opens with that, as do many other action and adventure sequels. This story seeks to discover more of Talia's past as she seeks out who ultimately was responsible for ordering her father's death.<br />
<br />
As with the previous book, I still was not a huge fan of Talia. She comes off as rather bland, while the others around her are witty and interesting. Still, Tyler is determined to look after her in order to make up for the wrongs in his past. And Talia is still trying to work through hers.<br />
<br />
This is still a good action story, though not as charming as the first book. I think that the discovery of the characters had been what caught my attention most before, and here they have already been introduced. But if what you liked from the first book was the action, then this one will still deliver it for you.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Learn a
little about Isaiah’s Legacy and enter multiple giveaways while picking
up CLUES at each stop. Compile all the clues, submit the final PHRASE at
the last stop, and you’ll be entered to win one of 3 Grand Prizes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are the prizes? They’re completely unique to the winners! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mesu
will contact each winner personally to chat about what they would most
like to see in Israel, and then she’ll SHOP for just the right gift
while touring Israel, March 6-19! She’ll then purchase a personal and
memorable gift specifically chosen for each of those three winners and
ship them to each one when she returns. How fun is that?! </div>

Thank you for coming to my stop. I've been a member of Mesu's BFFs for a number of years now and I am glad to take part in this tour. One of the things that struck me most while reading Isaiah's Legacy was how similar worshipers of foreign gods might have treated followers of Yahweh, compared to the way many people look at Christians today. Doing what God asks of us isn't always popular or easy. Often it puts us at conflict with those around us. But that doesn't mean that we can back down.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy reading Isaiah's Legacy as much as I did, and that it helps give you a new perspective on a story you have likely already heard. And if you want to learn more about the scriptures that inspired this novel, you can download Mesu's free bible study.<br />

Can you see her in the picture? She’s there. A short, chubby
mama standing behind her strapping young son—an Assyrian king. Yep, this mama, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Naqi'a-Zakutu,</i> was important enough to
etch into a relief found in the temple of Marduk. The bronze (originally
gold-plated) relief commemorates the restoration of Babylon by Esarhaddon, ca.
681-669 BC, and some scholars believe his mama was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Hebrew</u></i></b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Take a moment to contemplate the legendary brutality of the
ancient Assyrians. They <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">invented</i>
psychological warfare through torture tactics, and no king was more vicious
than King Sennacherib, the man thought to have married <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Naqi'a-Zakutu. </i>Would he have married a Hebrew? A woman brought to
or born in his empire as a captive?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A Hebrew Queen of Assyria?</i></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s first look at the name, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Naqi'a. </i>It’s thought to be Aramean or Hebrew, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zakutu </i>is the Akkadian (Assyrian)
translation of it. If you’re looking for an interesting and succinct online
resource about her, you can find good information <a href="https://www.ancient.eu/Zakutu/">HERE</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As with most historical characters, I read all the
information I can find and try to pick out a golden thread woven through it
that makes sense with the plot formed by Scripture. Naqia is never mentioned in
the Bible, but her husband (Sennacherib), son (Esarhaddon), and grandson
(Ashurbanipal) are.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I read the bits and pieces of her life found in ancient
records, an incredibly strong and shrewd woman formed in my imagination. And
when I wrote the first scene in which she appears, hosting Shulle at a banquet
in Nineveh (the capital of Assyria), Naqia absolutely came alive on the page! A
woman who I meant to be a momentary “prop” for that scene took over and became
a key player in the book.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">When Characters Speak for Themselves</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re a writer, you may know what I mean when I say
Naqia “took over.” It sounds a bit melodramatic, but sometimes—as we write a
new character—the thoughts and emotions that flow through our fingers take on a
mind of their own. That character truly comes alive as we write more and more
about them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was Naqia. The more I wrote, the more I liked her. The
more I liked her, the sassier and more interesting she became. And the more
insight she gave us into the heart and soul of Sennacherib—Assyria’s most
ruthless king.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through Naqia’s eyes, we see Sennacherib as a human being,
this man who threatened our dear Hezi in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Isaiah’s
Daughter. </i>We get a glimpse of the woman who loved him, and we see Zibah
struggle with this Hebrew Assyrian queen, thinking: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How could anyone love the monster, Sennacherib?</i> When her son Manasseh’s
brutality comes to mind, she’s faced with the realization—she, too, adores a
monster.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Impact of Irony</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know, in the last post, Ebos asked what I wanted y’all
to know about me. I supposed one important thing for you to know is that I’m
not a literary expert. I just write. I don’t have a degree or formal training
or know all the correct terminology. But I recognize irony when I see it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naqia was God’s irony forged into judgment on both Israel
and Judah. I believe she was one of the exiles from the northern tribes of
Israel, a beautiful captive taken into the Sennacherib’s harem who eventually
ruled her Assyrian captors as queen. She was an incredible woman in the hands
of a mighty God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Truth or Fiction?</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I delve into research, I become immersed in the stories
of these people—real people who lived . . . and died. I’m reminded that I’ll
spend eternity with some of them, so I’d better be careful about what I write!

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 4 Stars<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText6450049150345906617"><b>
</b><i>The drama of the Old Testament comes to life as Judah's most
notorious king ascends to the throne in this gripping novel from the
award-winning author of
<u>
Isaiah's Daughter</u>
. </i><b>
</b><br /><br />At eight years old, Shulle has known only life in a small
village with her loving but peculiar father. When Uncle Shebna offers
shelter in Jerusalem in exchange for Shulle's help tutoring King
Manasseh, Judah's five-year-old co-regent who displays the same
peculiarities as her father, she's eager to experience the royal court.
But Shulle soon realizes the limits of her father's strict adherence to
Yahweh's Law when Uncle Shebna teaches her of the starry hosts and their
power.<br /><br />Convinced Judah must be freed from Yahweh's chains, she
begins the subtle swaying of young Manasseh, using her charm and skills
on the boy no one else understands. When King Hezekiah dies,
twelve-year-old Manasseh is thrust onto Judah's throne, bitter at Yahweh
and eager to marry the girl he adores. Assyria's crown prince favors
Manasseh and twists his brilliant mind toward cruelty, beginning
Shulle's long and harrowing journey to discover the Yahweh she'd never
known, guided with loving wisdom by Manasseh's mother: Isaiah's
daughter, the heartbroken Hephzibah. Amid Judah's dark days, a desperate
remnant emerges, claiming the Lord's promise, "Though we're helpless
now, we're never hopeless--because we serve El Shaddai." Shulle is among
them, a girl who becomes a queen through Isaiah's legacy.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: Though I had read about the king's of Israel in the Bible, I'll be honest and say that I never really thought much on how one of Israel's most righteous kings could father the wickedest king of them all. Yet this book brought up a question I hadn't thought to ask, making it applicable to relationships that we all have.<br />
<br />
Most everyone has suffered through the pain of watching friends and family turn down the wrong path. I empathized strongly with Shulle, who not only was losing her husband, but had to watch her son turn from God based on the influence of those around him. He let lies lead him instead of trusting the wisdom of the prophets and the scriptures.<br />
<br />
If I had anything to complain about with this story, it would be the leaps in time between many of the scenes, mentioned only in the small header before each chapter. As the story follows these characters from the time that Manasseh was five and then on throughout his reign, it makes sense that there would be a lot that is left out, with short scenes taking place days, months, and even years apart.<br />
<br />
I think this is a great ending to the series, and especially the part Isaiah plays. It is hard to imagine his life and what he and his family would have experienced due to his prophecies, particularly the ones that the ruling kings didn't like. I loved this glimpse into those experiences and am excited to share this story with friends.<br />
<br />
I have provided an honest review after having received an ARC of this book through the publisher and author.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText8733391862538882357"><i>There is more than one way to drown.</i><b><br /></b><br />Coral
has always been different, standing out from her mermaid sisters in a
society where blending in is key. Worse yet, she fears she has been
afflicted with the dreaded Disease, said to be carried by
humans—emotions. Can she face the darkness long enough to surface in the
light?<br /><br />Above the sea, Brooke has nothing left to give.
Depression and anxiety have left her feeling isolated. Forgotten. The
only thing she can rely on is the numbness she finds within the cool and
comforting ocean waves. If only she weren’t stuck at Fathoms—a new
group therapy home that promises a second chance at life. But what’s the
point of living if her soul is destined to bleed?<br /><br />Merrick may be
San Francisco’s golden boy, but he wants nothing more than to escape
his controlling father. When his younger sister’s suicide attempt sends
Merrick to his breaking point, escape becomes the only option. If he can
find their mom, everything will be made right again—right?<br /><br />When
their worlds collide, all three will do whatever it takes to survive,
and Coral might even catch a prince in the process. But what—and
who—must they leave behind for life to finally begin?<br /><br />Taking a new twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved—yet tragic—fairy tale, <i>Coral</i>
explores mental health from multiple perspectives, questioning what it
means to be human in a world where humanity often seems lost.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: This story follows the plot lines of Coral, Brooke, and Merrick, and how their lives have intersected with suicide and depression. Like the cover, the tone throughout was very... blue. Sad and focused on inward emotions.<br />
<br />
Normally, I am not a fan of books that follow this tone. For me, they are not the escapes that I most often look for nor a place to hide from my own blue emotions. So I will admit that some of that played into my thoughts on this story. Still, I really applaud Sara's choice of message and her desire to show that those of us with depression are not alone in the world. We are not the only ones "diseased".<br />
<br />
However, the focus on these emotions made it difficult for me to read and the fairy tale aspect of this seemed a little lacking. Fairy tale retellings are one of my favorite subgenres because of the enchantment they bring to a story. While Coral is a mermaid who comes on land, her world lacked a lot of the vibrancy I was anticipating, especially considering the fact that she has synesthesia.<br />
<br />
For those who like poetic writing with darker narratives, this would be a good choice. However, if you are looking for something like other fairy tales, I can't say that this is it.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 4 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <i>Rogue code. A double agent.</i><br />
<br />
<i>He's the
commander of Tarim Territory's air defense. She's the daughter of an
empire bent on destroying them. Can love unite these star-crossed
lovers, and save their world?</i><br />
<br />
Lee is haunted by
nightmares and guilt. As a brilliant young teen, her father manipulated
her to create an invasive new computer virus. She hadn't known his
monstrous plan. ...Not until he launched a thermonuclear attack against
their enemies. Now her uncle wants her to finish the job. Lee would
rather die than be used as a pawn again by her bloodthirsty family. <br />
<br />
Michael's
top-secret project is almost ready for launch, and the only one he
trusts with it is Lee, his new research assistant. Lee is brilliant; a
mystery wrapped up inside an enigma. Pain lies behind her lovely eyes,
and he wonders what secrets she is hiding. When a saboteur strikes, his
gut tells him Lee is innocent. But is his heart blinding him to the
truth? <br />
<br />
<i>"Ice Master is the second book in the Ice Chronicles, a
series of imaginative romance novels set in a post-apocalyptic world.
If you like smart, courageous heroines, nail-biting action, and
heartwarming stories of love and redemption, then you'll love Jennette
Green's futuristic romance."</i><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: Ice Master is a good sci-fi story. It's described as post-apocalyptic, and it is in the sense that war has forced humanity to build underground. However, the rest of this story reads far more like a sci-fi, with civilization thriving in communities built in underground caverns. There is advanced tech, lasers, and a man with the scientific ability to manipulate ice into weapons.<br />
<br />
The main narrative on this story is one of espionage. Lee a spy and double agent, the second of which she believes is known only to her. There is some romance between her and Michael, but the heart of the story is her redemption for actions in the previous book. While Lee never meant for her virus to kill, it already has and she doesn't believe that she deserves forgiveness from anyone— not even God.<br />
<br />
In the end, I would have liked there to have been more romance between Lee and Michael, but the amount there was set up a relationship for them to continue with after the story ended. I would recommend this to anyone who likes sci-fi centered stories with themes of redemption.<br />

<b>Series</b>: The Codebreakers #2<br />
<b>Author: </b>Roseanna M. White<br />
<b>Genre</b>: Historical Romance<br />
<b>Publisher: </b>Bethany House<br />
<b>Release Date</b>: January 7, 2020<br />
<br />
<b>Against Every Warning, She's Drawn Ever Closer to the Man Known as "Black Heart" </b><br />
<br />
All of England thinks Major Phillip Camden a monster--a manwho deliberately caused the deaths of his squadron. But he would have preferred to die that day with his men rather than be recruited to the Admiralty's codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved.<br />
<br />
As nurse Arabelle Denler observes the so-dubbed "Black Heart," she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their families and paths twist together unexpectedly, she realizes she has a role to play in his healing--and some of her own to do as well.<br />
<br />
With Camden's court-martial looming, an old acquaintance shows up, intent on using him in a plot that sends the codebreakers of Room 40 into a frenzy. With their fragile hopes for the future in the cross hairs, Arabelle and Camden must hold on to hope--and to each other--if they want to survive.<br />

<b><br /></b><b>Roseanna M. White</b> is a bestselling, Christy Award-nominated author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #528987;"><b> </b></span></h3>
Roseanna White continues to surprise me with the quality of her stories. I honestly cannot think of another book which I felt showed the transformation from absolute sinner, oblivious to their need for salvation, to transformed hero by the grace of God as well as this book did. Camden was a rogue, his past made perfectly clear while still not forcing the reader to live through it with him.<br />
<br />
I loved this story and its message of grace. Arabelle, though at times she might have seemed a little too forgiving, was a great example in Camden's life that God forgives. Yet she also didn't shy away from calling him out when he did something wrong. I think what I liked most about her character though was that she was always willing to forgive the woman who wronged her rather than become petty. So often in affairs, the women are held to a double standard while the men mostly get away with it.<br />
<br />
This story also did a great job with its villain. While I didn't care for Diellza at first, instead wanting more of Camden and Arabelle, Diellza steadily grew on me. Though she is clearly the villain of the story, Roseanna refrained from vilifying her, instead showing her as human like everyone else, in need of grace.<br />
<br />
This book has me really excited for the next in the series and I can't wait to see who it will be about.<br />

ark. Joseph’s dreams. Jesus’s miracles. The Bible is rich with stories
for our children to hear and enjoy, but when those stories uncover the
thread of God’s promises, our children learn much more than individual
Bible stories. They discover how God has demonstrated His love for us,
from the first promise in the garden to the promise of the new heavens
and earth.<br /><br />A conversational, whimsical, biblically faithful retelling of more than fifty key Bible stories, <i>The Promises of God Storybook Bible</i> lets
your child hear favorite stories with new ears, repeatedly assuring
them that each word is proof of God’s unstoppable love and unbreakable
promises to His people.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: What I like about this storybook Bible is the interactiveness. Each chapter ends with four questions which prod children to remember and think on what was just read. And the narratives themselves are peppered with questions that prompt a verbal response. The way these stories are told lead to genuine conversation between the children and whomever is reading.<br />
<br />
The theme of this book is also a great one, teaching children that God always keeps his promises and showing stories from the Bible that prove it. Unlike many storybooks, this one does not have as much of a narrative flow, instead treating every story as a lesson. Sometimes, this style leaves the story feeling a little choppy, but overall I think it works well. It also helps to remind the reader (adult) that this is not the actual Bible and shouldn't be used as a substitute.<br />
<br />
I think this is a great addition to a family or church's library and will be using it as a resource myself.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 3 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>:<b> </b><span id="freeText879123186187617691"><i>Can one develop
feelings for the man you swore to see hanged? That’s just what Rebecca
fears she has done in this Gothic Regency romance. </i><br /><br />After
her brother’s mysterious death, Rebecca Hunter vows to expose the man
she believes responsible: Mr. Lewis Browning—known by the locals as the
Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian.<br /><br />Summoned to
his reclusive country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans
her own secret investigation among the darkened corridors of the
mysterious Greybourne Hall. Yet Lewis Browning is not as she once
imagined, and his motivation is horribly unclear. Recurrent nightmares
and Rebecca’s restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of
her mother’s prior descent into madness and wondering if she, too, will
follow the same heartbreaking path.<br /><br />Even as midnight rides,
strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Mr. Browning, Rebecca
can’t ignore the subtle turn of her heart. Has she fallen for the man
she swore would pay for her brother’s death? And moreover, can she trust
him with her uncertain future? </span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: I wasn't sure what to make of this story when I first started reading it. From the start, Rebecca seemed determined to blame Mr. Browning for her brother's murder despite there not being much reason to. It made Rebecca sort of flat in that she was determined to find guilt because of her own emotions on the matter of her brother's death.<br />
<br />
As the story progressed, Rebecca's trust in Mr. Browning grows, and with that the story improves. The relationship between the two is a sweet one and Rebecca's motivation for discovering what had happened the night her brother died took on new shape in that the answers could improve Mr. Browning's standing in the community or else destroy him entirely. And I enjoyed the twist at the end, when Rebecca discovers what really happened. The true villain's identity is a well done reveal that sets up a good climax for the ending.<br />
<br />
Throughout the narrative, I found that there were certain lines and phrase that read awkwardly. I believe that was done to imitate dialogue from the period and that for many readers, this may be more immersive. For myself, I found that it pulled me from the story, though less so nearing the end. As to my final opinion on the story, I found that I did enjoy it and would recommend it to those who love regency era works of fiction.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText4476532714561118333">A waterborne disease has
sprung up in every corner of the globe, decimating the human race.
Seventeen-year-old Eli McShane and his friends flee the chaos and
violence in Phoenix and journey north toward the rumored location of a
safe water source. They add several to their number, including a
mysterious girl named Hannah, who, unknown to Eli, is being hunted by a
dangerous man. Desperation brings out the worst in many of the
travelers, infecting even those closest to Eli. When division comes,
will he be able to hold his group together or will each fall victim to
their own thirst for survival?</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: What a great prequel. I had loved <i>The Safe Lands</i> trilogy, but admittedly never cared about what happened before that. However, once I saw that Jill was going to finish and publish <i>Thirst</i>, I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad that I did!<br />
<br />
When the world as they know it starts to end, Eli and his friends are oblivious for two full weeks. By the time they realize what is happening, the fight for survival is already in full swing. I loved this concept and enjoyed seeing Eli react in the moment, while still unsure if he should believe what he's seeing.<br />
<br />
Eli steps up pretty quickly and cobbles together a way to take care of everyone with him, even when those people argue at every turn. I related a lot with Eli's planning methods and his frustration at having to be the leader, especially when no one wanted to listen to him.<br />
<br />
Despite my irritation with a certain character at the end, <spoiler> Jaylee needs to leave Eli alone! </spoiler>, I'm super excited for the next book and wish that it wasn't going end after just one more.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText5593268689493034197">Krista Galloway is not a
fan of Christmas. After her rough childhood in multiple foster homes,
the holiday season just brings too many bad memories to the surface. But
when she accepts a job as a city manager in the mountain town of Winter
Hill, Washington, Christmas is part of the deal. The small town is
famous for its Christmasville celebration, something that the city
manager . . . well, manages.<br /><br />As she tries to make her tiny new
apartment feel like home for her and her eight-year-old daughter, Emily,
Krista begins to wonder if this move was a mistake. She doesn't always
feel welcomed in the close-knit town, and Emily continually wonders,
"Where's the snow?" Can a friendly stranger and his family help restore
Krista's Christmas spirit before the big day?<br /><br />Bestselling author
Melody Carlson invites you to spend this holiday season in a town you'll
never forget--and never want to leave.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: Sometimes you are just in the mood for a short, sweet Christmas story. <i>Christmas in Winter Hill</i> is that sort of story, closely resembling a Hallmark movie. Though it doesn't have as much romance, there is still a cute couple of dates between Krista and the story's eligible bachelor.<br />
<br />
Initially, the story does take a little while to get into. There are a couple chapters of set up in which Krista goes from meeting to meeting, discussing budgets and job requirements. The book is relatively short, so it is close to the midpoint when the plot begins to pick up. That is when Krista starts to see the good bits of Christmas and learns to live one day at a time rather than dreading the future.<br />
<br />
While I can't say that this will be a reread for next year, it was a cute one for this season. I enjoyed Emily's excitement over the Christmas House and related to Krista's decision to pull away before getting hurt. I would recommend this for those who enjoy Christmas stories and would like a Hallmark like read.<br />

<b>By Melissa Ferguson</b><br />
Contemporary Romance, Christian<br />
Paperback, Audiobook & ebook, 336 Pages<br />
December 3rd 2019 by Thomas Nelson<br />
<br />
<b>Just when you think you've met your match . . . the charade begins.</b><br />
<br />
Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband and children altogether.<br />
<br />
But fate has other plans, and Cassie's online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett's memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game.<br />
<br />
No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps each they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong?<br />
<br />
Melissa Ferguson's hilarious and warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small package and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren't nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I loved this! Getting to see these characters interact, both adults and children, made this a great read. Cassie and Jett are two amazing people who really step up to the plate when it comes to taking care of the three children they have each suddenly found in their care. Taking care of children is never easy, and these two were thrust into that with three kids!<br />
<br />
I am torn about who was my favorite. Jett's scenes were hilarious, with the toddlers running amuck in his house, while Cassie's scenes had so much heart and delved into the dynamics of foster families. I was cheering for both of them and glad that they were able to brave parenthood.<br />
<br />
One thing I will say is that this is touted as a romance, and while the relationship between the two leads is the driving conflict of the story, it did take a backseat to the relationships they had with the children in their care. Jett and Cassie only ever get to go on a handful of dates throughout, and most of those are abandoned part way through due to something going on at home. It is still an awesome story, but probably less romance than many readers would be expecting.<br />

<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText11813743431752060768"><i>The task is simple: don a disguise. Survive the Labyrinth. Best the boys.</i><br /><br />In
a thrilling new fantasy from the bestselling author of the Storm Siren
Trilogy, one girl makes a stand against society and enters a world made
exclusively for boys.<br /><br />Every year for the past fifty-four years,
the residents of Pinsbury Port have received a mysterious letter
inviting all eligible-aged boys to compete for an esteemed scholarship
to the all-male Stemwick University. The poorer residents look to see if
their names are on the list. The wealthier look to see how likely their
sons are to survive. And Rhen Tellur opens it to see if she can derive
which substances the ink and parchment are created from, using her
father’s microscope.<br /><br />In the province of Caldon, where women train
in wifely duties and men pursue collegiate education, sixteen-year-old
Rhen Tellur wants nothing more than to become a scientist. As the poor
of her seaside town fall prey to a deadly disease, she and her father
work desperately to find a cure. But when her mum succumbs to it as
well? Rhen decides to take the future into her own hands—through the
annual all-male scholarship competition.<br /><br />With her cousin, Seleni,
by her side, the girls don disguises and enter Mr. Holm’s labyrinth, to
best the boys and claim the scholarship prize. Except not everyone is
ready for a girl who doesn’t know her place. And not everyone survives
the deadly maze.<br /><br /><i>Welcome to the Labyrinth.</i></span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: This is definitely my favorite book of Weber's so far. The mix of science and magic is just what I love in this sort of story and I could have read a book that just focused on Rhen curing diseases while running away from ghouls and sirens. These mythical beings brought the story to life in a way that would have been sorely missed had the world building leaned in more of a steampunk direction.<br />
<br />
Yet the main purpose of the story was for Rhen to beat the boys in the labyrinth rather than find a cure. While the competition is mentioned from the beginning, it doesn't come into play until around the halfway point and then ends with nearly a quarter of the story left. And since this aspect of the story was so important, I would have liked for it to take up more of the actual plot.<br />
<br />
The story is fun, even with Rhen experiencing realistic hostility to her interests in science. I liked the variety of friends she was able to have and that most of them were males who treated her as an equal. While Rhen's goal was to "best the boys", it was never to prove herself as better, only equal and deserving of the same opportunities. And she wasn't the only one competing for that.<br />
<br />
Overall, I do think there are portions of the story that could have been stronger. The Labyrinth could have been more of the story, as could the history of relationships between most of the characters. However, most of the interactions between characters within the story were strong and I appreciated Rhen's goals and motivations. I loved the story world's atmosphere and wouldn't mind another story where Rhen goes to university and then returns to be with Lute and help the people she grew up with.<br />

<b>By Patrick W. Carr</b><br />
Christian Historical Fiction<br />
Hardcover, Paperback, Audiobook & ebook, 384 Pages<br />
November 5th 2019 by Bethany House Publishers<br />
<br />
<b>Centuries before the magi arrived in Bethlehem,</b><br />
<b>a prophecy sets a young magus on his path . . .</b><br />
<br />
Following his vision of the coming Messiah, the prophet Daniel calls forth a select group of men who will count down the calendar until the arrival of Israel's promised king. Centuries later, as the day draws near, Myrad, a young magi acolyte, flees for his life when his adoptive father and others are slain by a ruthless Parthian queen.<br />
<br />
Equipped with very little, in haste Myrad escapes the city and, searching for a way to hide from the soldiers scouring the trade routes, tries to join the caravan of the merchant Walagash. The merchant senses that Myrad is keeping secrets, but when the young man proves himself a valuable asset, an epic journey filled with peril, near captures, and dangerous battles begins.<br />
<br />
With every day that passes, the calendar creeps closer to the coming Messiah. And over everything shines the dream of a star that Myrad can't forget, and the promise that the world will never be the same.<br />
<br />
<b>Praise for the Book</b><br />
<br />
"Carr retells the story of the Magi in this bustling biblical adventure . . . . Myrad's divine vision of the star and his arduous trek battling his own physical problems to pay homage to the Messiah capture the majesty of biblical narratives and will appeal to Christians well versed in scripture."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br />
<br />
"Patrick Carr brings us a captivating tale in <i>The End of the Magi</i>. Based on the Holy Bible, he weaves a fictional tale of the adventures of a group of magi from the east looking for the Messiah. Myrad is a strong main character even though he doesn't see himself as strong. He has great character traits and these help him find triumph over tragedy. . . . <i>The End of the Magi</i> is a great holiday read and gives us much to think about in our journey to know God better."--<b><i>Fresh Fiction</i></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">My Review</span></b><br />
<br />
I've been a fan of Patrick's writing for a number of years now, and so was surprised when I discovered he had written a Biblical Fiction novel when all of his past published works have been fantasy. However, I read and love Biblical Fiction just as much. As with his other works, Patrick was able to pull me into Myrad's story. I enjoyed following along on his adventures and wondered how it would all tie into the story of the Magi visiting Christ in the end.<br />
<br />
What surprised me was the path the story took. Whereas I had expected the narrative to be far more focused on following the star, the journey Myrad takes is far more complicated and he has other motivations beyond single-mindedly following a prophecy. At times, this meant that the story seemed to wander in other directions, though it did all lead Myrad to the right place in the end.<br />
<br />
For those who love Biblical Fiction, I will say that this does not read as many others in the genre. The narrative focuses more on the adventures Myrad has on his way to Christ than it does on his personal transformation. For that reason, it might appeal to different readers. However, it is still an engaging story that is perfect for this Christmas season.<br />

<h3>
<u>About the Book</u></h3>
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Don’t you know? Animals like you have no soul."</i><br />
<br />
Could God ever love a half-blood all of society looks upon with such fear and disdain? Jace once believed so, but when a tragic loss shatters the only peace he’s ever known, his faith crumbles as the nagging doubts he’s tried to put behind him descend on his grieving heart. With them come the haunting memories of the bloodstained past he longs to forget, but can never escape.<br />
<br />
Taken from home at a young age and raised to serve the emperor, Kyrin Altair lives every day under a dangerous pretense of loyalty. After her unique observation skills and perfect memory place her into direct service to the emperor, Kyrin finds herself in further jeopardy as it becomes increasingly difficult to hide her belief in Elôm, the one true God.<br />
<br />
Following the emperor’s declaration to enforce the worship of false gods under the penalty of death, many lives are endangered. But there are those willing to risk everything to take a stand and offer aid to the persecuted. With their lives traveling paths they never could have imagined, Jace and Kyrin must fight to overcome their own fears and conflicts with society as they become part of the resistance.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 3 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText18167771038554632321">Becoming a Christian is
the best and worst thing that has ever happened to Sarah Hollenbeck.
Best because, well, that's obvious. Worst because, up to this point,
she's made her very comfortable living as a well-known, bestselling
author of steamy romance novels that would leave the members of her new
church blushing. Now Sarah is trying to reconcile her past with the
future she's chosen. She's still under contract with her publisher and
on the hook with her enormous fan base for the kind of book she's not
sure she can write anymore. She's beginning to think that the church
might frown on her tithing on royalties from a "scandalous" book. And
the fact that she's falling in love with her pastor doesn't make things
any easier.<br /><br />With a powerful voice, penetrating insight, and
plenty of wit, Bethany Turner explodes onto the scene with a debut that
isn't afraid to deal with the thorny realities of living the Christian
life.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: As with the last book of Bethany's which I read, this book tackles the issue of sexual tension between a couple before marriage. However, this one starts with a woman who wrote adult romance (with sex) before becoming a Christian as a means of fulfillment and attention. And afterward, she had to find a way to live out her Christian principles when most everyone judged her for either her past or her present.<br />
<br />
That first part, before her conversion, plays out rather rapidly with most of it being a direct address from Sarah to the audience. She starts with her divorce, runs down how she got into writing romances, the life she had doing that, and then quickly ties the backstory up with her conversion. The narrative slows down quickly after this point, letting the reader in on her relationship with Ben, her friendship with Piper, and the tumult of convincing her agent (and her audience) to let her write clean romance.<br />
<br />
However, it was that first portion of that book which made it difficult for me to dive in. I didn't like the summary of years of her life or the suddenness in which she decided become a Christian after getting in a fight with her Christian friend about the kind of books she wrote.<br />
<br />
I like that Bethany portrays real life situations that Christians can find themselves in. She doesn't shy away from topics that we wouldn't have seen years ago, and I know that there are many authors who have gone through just the kind of experience which she described. I just wish the story had been told a little differently.<br />
<br />

<u><b>Description: </b></u><span id="freeText1180210633127762850">Ebenezer Krow is a
relentless man who charges through life, holding himself and everyone
else to the letter of the law. Krow’s nephew, his employees, his
business associates—even mankind in general—all feel the castigating
burn of Krow’s glare. One night, on Christmas Eve, Krow is visited by
his long-dead business partner, Marley Chastain. The ghost warns Krow
that three spirits, one of them a devil, will assail him throughout the
night. But will the harrowing experience be enough to tear the scab from
his sin-scarred soul? Or will the lessons of Christmas and Krow himself
be lost forever? <br /> <br />In this faithful but modern retelling of
Dickens’ classic tale, Batson offers readers a thought-provoking “ghost
of an idea” to haunt our homes and churches pleasantly for many years to

<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: Listening to this was a delight. I've never read the original <i>A Christmas Carol</i>, but I have seen numerous adaptations. The voice actor chosen for this fit the story perfectly, and I was hooked into the narrative the moment I heard him imitate Marley Chastain's voice.<br />
<br />
The story beats of this novel follow closely to those of the original, though with a modern twist and a few obvious differences. Those differences make this story far more of a challenge for modern readers. One plot point in particular gave me pause, though at the end I'll say that I agreed with the outcome, at least so far as it played out in this story.<br />
<br />
If you love A Christmas Carol, and are looking for a version of it with a few twists, I do recommend this. I especially recommend listening to it. The author's prose is spot on and the narrator really brings it to life, both combining to give the haunted Christimasy tone of the story.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 2.5 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText16637367340627126631">Ten years ago, Grace
saw something that would forever change the course of history. When evil
in its purest form is unleashed on the world, she and others from their
religious community are already hidden deep in the hills of Tennessee,
abiding by every rule that will keep them safe, pure--and alive. As long
as they stay there, behind the red perimeter.<br /><br />Her older
brother's questions and the arrival of the first outsiders she's seen in
a decade set in motion events that will question everything Grace has
built her life on. Enemies rise on all sides--but who is the real enemy?
And what will it cost her to uncover the truth?<br /><br />For the first
time, bestselling authors Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker team up and
deliver an intense, tightly focused ride through the most treacherous
world of all.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: For me, its been a while since I have read one of Ted Dekker's books and the first time reading one by Rachelle. I've heard glowing reports of both authors' works and thought upon hearing that this was a mystery/suspense, that it would be just like<i> Boneman's Daughter</i> and <i>The Bride Collector</i>. Both of which had been some of my favorites of Ted's books. Instead, this had reminded me more of <i>Forbidden </i>or<i> The Angel's Share </i>(the latter of which is by a different author).<br />
<br />
Both of those books I enjoyed, even though the allegorical styles were not my favorite compared to others. However, this one didn't capture my attention as well as those had. I hadn't felt drawn into the mystery, instead feeling like I had a pretty good grasp of everyone's roles and the story's outcome from the start.<br />
<br />
The fear that is supposed to be prevalent in this book is more of an anxiety; a fear of messing up and doing the wrong thing, of being caught, of being judged and punished. And the story does a good job of showing that in this setting, and the red rope was a great picture of what the story was getting at. However, even though I also deal with anxiety issues, I didn't connect with this story or most of its characters.<br />
<br />
Part of this could have been due to what felt like holes in the world building. The Fury are purposefully left vague, in my mind a little too vague so that I didn't see enough information to personally find them intimidating. And then there was the in-business general store for a small, completely cut off from the world community, as well as a long abandoned gas station with still running water. Those details, and others like them, might have had explanations, but the story world wasn't developed to a point that it did so.<br />
<br />
This book had its strengths, but overall I felt that the weaknesses out weighed the rest. The novel is a fairly easy read, one that could still be enjoyed by the Dekkers' fans as well as those looking for stories like the two I named above. However, with the confusion I have seen over what genre this book truly falls into, it will not be for everyone.<br />

<u><b>My Rating</b></u>: 4 Stars<br />
<br />
<u><b>Description</b></u>: <span id="freeText16783221930750278022"><i>The history books say I died.<br /><br />They don’t know the half of it.</i><b>
</b><br /><br />Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to
smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in
Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the
Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before.<br /><br />Nastya’s
only chances of saving herself and her family are to either release the
spell and deal with the consequences, or enlist help from Zash, the
handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has
only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her
growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like
her.<br /><br />That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts</b></u>: When I had looked at my shelves the other week, I had been in the mood for something fun and easy to read. Romanov stood out, and I quickly devoured it in a couple of late nights. Nadine's writing is smooth and gripping, bringing about an engrossing story.<br />
<br />
Being familiar with the story of Anastasia, I was prepared for certain aspects of this story which I know have taken other readers by surprise. However, there were still a few twists for those who think they might already know how this story plays out. And that's always a nice surprise when it comes to historical retellings.<br />
<br />
The main draw back to this novel was that there perhaps could have been more too it. Compared to many other books in the genre, this is rather short and that affected the story in some regard. I felt that there was much more I wanted to know about the magic system, as well as how this story ending would have affected this version of history beyond what occurs in this book.<br />
<br />
However, rather than causing me to dislike this story, it just created a hope that maybe Nadine will decide to write a sequel. One that perhaps is from the perspective of another character who might have a story to tell and can build upon what this book started.<br />

<br />
Death, whether real or metaphorical, comes for
us all. Yet it is not always the end. And in the depths of grieving can be the
promise of hope and redemption.<br />
<br />
The tales and poems in this anthology explore
the depths of love, loss, and transformation. Whether in a reimagined folktale
or a modern urban fantasy, <i>A Kind of Death</i> features a fine balance of tragedy
and comedy, but always with a hint of wonder and hope.*</span></span></span></div>

<b><u>My Thoughts </u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%;">I've only just started reading this anthology, but already I have been struck by the tone and the authors' analysis of death and lose. The read has come at an interesting moment in my life, both in fall which is one of the first images of this anthology, but in my first trip back to my childhood home</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%;"> on my own. In past years, after my family and I moved part way across the country, we had all come back to visit friends and family occasionally. However, this time I made the drive on my own, choosing for myself where I would go and what memories I wanted to relive.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%;">I had not expected that through this trip I would begin to reflect on all of the themes of this book— the absence of loved ones who have passed from this life, love of family who I have come to see, loss of the life I would have had had I finished growing up here, and the wonderful things I have gained by leaving the good things of this place behind.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%;">Though the losses in my life are far from recent, there are still echoes of them that will always remain. So far, this anthology expresses those ideas beautifully.</span></span><br />
