Man, Tessa has done it again!! Not that I ever had any doubt whether I’d love this book, as I’ve loved everything of hers (there’s only one I haven’t read yet). Tessa’s signature wit, charm, and masterful character development is laced through every page. From the prologue, I was hooked! Then that early twist that …
Book Review: A Time to Love by Tracy Higley
Whew! Give me sec to catch my breath 😮💨 What an exciting, roller coaster of a series ending this was! Each book has ratcheted up the tension and action more and more. This one took off quicker than the other two books, throwing you straight back into Sahara’s search for her family. Nothing came easy …
Book Review: When the Day Comes
Wow. What a story!!!! After finishing this book, I had to just close it, sit there, and take it in. This is one of the most unique and intriguing books I’ve ever read, and it shall not be soon forgotten! I started reading When the Day Comes a while back, and then, after getting about …
Book Review: The Coronation by Livy Lynn Jarmusch
Oh, this was such a fun read! The Coronation is book 1 in the Tales of Tarsurella–a YA series about the large royal family of a contemporary European kingdom. This first book is pretty hefty at over 400 pages, so I was wondering how the pacing would feel. While it wasn’t super fast moving at …
Book Review: What Remains When Flowers Fade by B. R. Goodwin
Eeeekkkk!!! I have been waiting and waiting for this sequel! After that cliffhanger in book 1, I have been positively dying to know what would happen next to Vala and her friends. Luckily, the waiting was worth it!! Book 2 opens a bit differently than expected, giving you insight into previously unknown scenes leading up …

The Cast of The Love of a Princess
One of my very favorite parts of the writing process is naming characters and picking out what they look like. The process of this varies depending on the character–sometimes I have a clear image of what they should look like, and have to find the perfect name. Other times I know their name and personality, …
Book Review: Bring Her Home by Hannah Currie
Wow, you guys… This book really surprised me. I liked Hannah’s previous series (still gotta read book 3, though!) so I felt sure I’d enjoy this book. But I loved it even more than I expected to! The depth and power of this story is just beautiful! With it being a prodigal son retelling (a …

Pirates. A hidden journal. Arthurian legends. A lost island kingdom. High stakes treasure hunting. A handsome lord that loves chocolate. All these ingredients and more go into making Worthy of Legend an epic conclusion to Roseanna M. White’s Secrets of the Isles series! I’ve enjoyed each of these treasure hunting, island adventures, but this third book ended …
Book Review: Awaken by Carrie Cotten
Whew! This book in a word: EXPLOSIVE! Each installment of the Dreamwalker Saga has been a twisting, turning, suspenseful ride, but Carrie really took things to the next level in the epic conclusion to this equally epic series! From page one, we find Andy and Will facing their biggest battle yet. Not only are they …
