Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble, a Heart-stopping Mystery Thriller
Fragile Designs is the second Christian thriller/mystery I’ve read, and I was hooked! Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble is an enjoyable read! It follows a twenty-something Carly Harris as she juggles raising her baby, quarrels with her sisters, and the ghosts of her past as she faces the danger that her husband’s killer could now…

The Peasant Queen, A Beautiful Esther Retelling
I would give this 6 starts if I could. The Peasant Queen is the first book I’ve read since Provenance that absolutely stunned me to tears. For context, The Peasant Queen is a medieval retelling of Esther and it is spectacular. I knew the story would have some kind of “God placed you here for…

Prince of Vengeance (Dragon Prince Chronicles #2) by Phillips
Prince of Vengeance is a wonderful addition to the Dragon Prince Chronicles. I picked this one up about a month after reading Unfortunate Events because I needed to see what was going to happen. If you haven’t read the first book, watch out for spoilers below! Following the attack on the army, Kahtan is slowly…

The Juliet Code by Pepper Basham (Freddie and Grace #3)
This is book 3, The Juliet Code, of the Freddie and Grace mystery series by Pepper Basham. I’ve read the other two (and see my earlier post why I don’t recommend The Mistletoe Countess). I was really torn on the review because there are some things I liked and some things that just went backwards.…

This Life of Mine by Victoria Lynn (Elira Chronicles #2)
I dug into this book so fast after finishing the first in the series, and I don’t regret it at all. For those of us new to the series, This Life of Mine is Book 2 in the Elira Chronicles. It actually breaks the mold of following the same main characters from book 1, as…

Once I Knew by Lynn (Elira Chronicles #1), Spectacular
Once I Knew was spectacular. We follow Violet as she takes in and helps an injured Kingman at the threat of her and her Granny’s lives. This book was such a beautiful reflection of Christ that I was left in tears. I ordered the series (book 1 and 2) in the Eliran Royalty Book Box,…

The Guild of Thieves by Jaiden Phillips Stole My Heart
I was not prepared to cry, but The Guild of Thieves touched my heart. If you haven’t heard of this book, it is a book by Jaiden Phillips (part of Sisters Three) that follows a young thief is forced to make a decision between stealing the kingdom’s prized jewel or letting his friends die. “Being…

Unfortunate Events (Dragon Prince #1) by Phillips sisters
Unfortunate Events is the first book in the Dragon Prince series, and it’s a pretty good start. We follow Kahtan Faber as he’s ripped from his family to serve in a war he knows nothing about. I loved how the authors really made the inciting incident such a jarring moment for the readers. The sibling…

The Sacred Search by Gary Thomas
Even though you may think you’re looking for your knight-in-shining-armor of a husband, what detriment is that fantasy having on finding a godly man?

Daughter of the Sun, Children of the Earth by Auler
Story: 5/5Worldview: 2.5/5 I spotted this novel on Instagram when I joined looking for Christian fantasy, and though Daughter of the Sun and Children of the Earth were somewhat marketed as Christian themes, I was left surprised and a bit disappointed. The Surprise (no spoilers) From the beginning, I liked the characters and their powers…
