Hear the Falling Snow by Storm Shultz
Hear the Falling Snow is a cozy contemporary romance full of heart and hope in the midst of waiting. I really enjoyed meeting this cast of characters and seeing God’s hand in their lives, but I was also disappointed in a few aspects. Here’s the Goodreads blurb: Accepting God’s timing has never been so hard.…

A Realm of Rebels by Tiana Ibrahim
You’ll enjoy A Realm of Rebels if you like fantasy with political tension, solid world building, and strong emphasis on family. It was a great read, and I really loved the characters and complex dynamics, but I did hit a snag in the worldview. Here’s the blurb from Goodreads for more information: A rebellion is…

Trouble in Dry Springs by Kristina Hall
I’ve been reading so much fantasy, Trouble in Dry Springs by Kristina Hall was a great change of pace–and I loved it! This historical western is full of heart, tension, and hope. This is book 1 in the Dry Springs Chronicles, and here’s the blurb from Goodreads: Even the peaceful town of Dry Springs is…

A Change of Heart (Hearts of Avarin #1) by Madisyn Carlin
A Change of Heart by Madisyn Carlin is such an encouraging, cozy read. There are so many threads of mystery, romance, and intrigue that had me hooked until the end! I really loved the Cinderella vibes of the book, almost like we were looking at Cinderella from a tangental perspective. Here’s more information on the…

Paper Castles (#1) by Ellie Ember
Paper Castles is the first book in the Paper Castles trilogy, and it does a fantastic job. I’m tired of trilogies at this point, since more and more of them use book 1 for setting the stage and neglect a standalone plot. But Paper Castles does everything a first book in a trilogy should do…

The Dancer and the Dragon Speaker by Laurie Lucking
The Dancer and the Dragon Speaker is a fun, fantasy retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and a lesser-known tale. While it is a short read, it makes up for it in adventure and intrigue. This book releases on December 6th, and I had the pleasure of an early copy. All thoughts expressed are my own. Here…

A Noble Princess by Saraina Whitney (Cornerstone #5)
If you’re looking for sweet, Christian fiction with deep themes, you’ll love A Noble Princess. I read this book in 2 days, but this is one of those books that I’m going to have to read again. It’s full of struggles faced by real characters, and yet there’s so much humor and hope throughout! Ratings…

Deadly Revenge by Patricia Bradley (#3)
I forgot I had read book 2 in this series until I picked up Deadly Revenge last week. Unfortunately, I much prefer Fatal Witness, for its characters if nothing else. Ratings for Deadly Revenge Story: 4/5 Worldview: 3/5 The story had a really interesting premise, with a great start in the first few chapters. The…

Crown of the Stag (#2) by Ella Walker Henderson
Crown of the Stag picks up right where Fang of the Wolf leaves off, and it raises the stakes and tension even higher! Valaria is home from searching for her father, the Varg, but the world is changing and her place in it, whether she likes it or not. Here’s a brief blurb of the…

Fang of the Wolf ( #1) by Ella Walker Henderson
Fang of the Wolf stands out among fantasy I’ve read over the past few years. Even though it is fantasy (as in, set in another world), it really reads like historical fiction (no magic). I really enjoyed this book from start to finish and I can’t wait to dig into book 2! Here’s some background…
