I'll be honest. I don't generally care for Christian fiction because a lot of what I read seemed really preachy and judgmental to me (although to be fair back in the day I was over the moon about Lurlene McDaniel) so a friend gave a rec for Melanie Dickerson and three days or something later, this book popped up on Netgalley. I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. So Kat and Steffan both obviously have PTSD and Stef is a recovering alcoholic. They are far from perfect in terms of mental health and they join together to figure out what the deal is with the Beast, a malevolent entity that has lured the children away from Hamlin. They have to put up with Kat's dastardly (is there a word stronger than dastardly? Diabolical, maybe?) stepfather Hennek and his gross henchman. I really liked the way this one ended and am very interested in checking out the other books in this series.

Wow, I really loved this book. It starts of on an ordinary day on an alien mind controlled Earth when Ava Johnson's clone dies in front of her. Ava discovers that she's a genetically engineered alien/human hybrid designed to fight the invading aliens. Klarion is an Arcon who wants to move up in the ranks and tries to trick Ava into spilling secrets about the resistance. The more time he spends with Ava the deeper his feelings grow. This was such a great sci-fi romp! This book was provided to me by BookSirens in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a Netgalley wish and I loved this book so much! I can't wait to read the first one, Sky in the Deep! I really loved this one! It's got family drama with a bit of a mystery! Alaine is a wonderful character! Say, what if what's his face had actually had the authority to crown George Washington? This book deals with the idea of a modern royal family. Good stuff!
