A wonderful review, for Through a Glass. Fantastical Creatures.

Fantasy lovers, here’s a novel with fantastical creatures as well as real ones; eerie settings and true-to-life ones; frightening scenes and comforting ones. Irene and Stagman walk a frightening journey to rescue the prince. Lee tells her tale with a smooth flow of words and detailed descriptions. Some of her creatures are helpful and some oppose them and their quest. I hope you enjoy meeting Ezekiel, the white rat, as much as I did.

Even forest trees intrude into the lives of her characters, Irene and Stagman. Will they help or hinder? Will Irene and Stagman be able to rescue the prince in time? Will Irene and Stagman’s growing affection for one another turn into true love?

Enjoy a good read! Sylvia Stewart

'Beginning Anew.' A new book, by the wonderful author Paula Rose Michelson.

Paula Rose Michelson is the wife of Lutheran Pastor, and Chosen People Ministries field Missionary, Ron Michelson. This Messianic author of faith books founded LAMB Ministries, which helps women recover from trauma and abuse through the effective use of Scripture and prayer. She asked God to give her a unique work, and while praying about the lost tribes of Israel, she believed the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) called her to write about the hidden Jews. She wrote the Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing and The Naomi Chronicles Books because of her heart response to that commission.

Beginning Anew

Naomi and Chaz know that miracles really do happen, for at a friend’s wedding they reaffirmed their love and are Beginning Anew! Yet there are consequences that the couple must face. Will Chaz love and protect his wife? Will Naomi learn to trust Chaz? Find out in the first novel of Paula Rose Michelson’s four-book saga, The Naomi Chronicles.

 

                                        Here is a short taster from this wonderful book.

 

                                                                      Chapter 1

                                                                   Coming Home.

 

Chaz carried Naomi over the threshold and into the vestibule. His gaze caressed her every feature, resting at last on her eyes. They were a striking couple.

She a petit woman with olive skin, azure blue eyes, and curly hair, that when let loose, fell to her waist; he a lanky man with close cut dark brown hair and strong features who had once again married the woman his heart yearned for.

Here is the link to this wonderful series of books.

I've given, Beginning Anew, five stars...A beautiful story.

“This book covers the first week of the newlyweds’ story who have now recommitted to each other after their fall out in the Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book Two. As with the author’s other books this story is well written with a poetic quality that draws the reader in. I enjoyed the book very much. The author gives great depth to all the characters, especially Chaz who in the last book discovered he was a Jew and is now shocked at the change of attitude towards him by those who were once his friends. Although I didn’t like her in the other books, Lola is there again and what happens to her in this book comes as quite a shock, and made me feel more sympathetic towards her. I certainly understood Naomi’s anger when Chaz informed her that Lola was coming back to stay with them, as no one else would take her in. But without giving away a spoiler…Lola becomes good!” — Vonnee Lee (author Y.I Lee)

Five stars for Scribbles 11 : Escape. A Thrilling Thriller.

I loved Scribbles by Tommie Lyn, and have waited eagerly for the next book. And I have to say Scribbles 11: Escape, has not disappointed. What a thriller!
It was great to catch again with Meg MacAllister, and a character I loved in the first book, Granny Mac. However, it’s important to state that Scribbles 11 stands alone, as the author ties things up nicely. But I would certainly suggest reading both the books, as they are great!
Scribbles 11 takes you on a heck of a ride. Meg and Johnny have recently married, and are off on their honeymoon, which quickly turns into a nightmare, as a black SUV is following them. They have no idea why, and so begins a race to escape it.
To make matters worse, whenever they stop for food or gas they see Johnny’s face splashed across the TV’s, proclaiming him to be a murderer.
Now they are forced to keep a low profile, and when they stop on the roadside and briefly leave their car, it is stolen by a couple of thieves. Their only choice is to take the old truck the thieves have abandoned, which without giving the story away, proves to work in their favour.
The story quickly hots up, culminating in a pretty shocking scenario. Frighteningly, it is something that God forbid, could so easily happen in this day and age.
It is hard to say more without giving away spoilers. Suffice to say Scribbles 11: Escape, was everything I’d hoped, and kept me reading late into the night…I’m not complaining. It’s a great thriller, and I highly recommend it.

The Shadowed Valley: A book born out of pain.

 

 

 http://www.amazon.com/Shadowed-Valley-Y-I-Lee-ebook/dp/B005XN8HOU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390603345&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Shadowed+Valley

 

 

I guess all authors love their books, we wouldn't write them if we didn't. But of the three books I've written, so far; The Shadowed Valley is special.
I wrote it in some small way to honour my sister, even naming the heroin, Celia, after her.
My sister was six years younger than me...a gentle, sensitive girl. I loved her to bits, we were very close.
In March 2005, we received the most awful news. My lovely sister was dead, murdered by her husband. He shot her in the head while she slept.
I will never forget that day, and I suppose in a way, The shadowed Valley is a constant reminder.
But writing the book helped me so much. I buried my grief within its pages. In a strange way, it kept Celia alive; even if only in my heart and imagination. I travelled with her through the shadowed valley...through the darkness and fear. She adored horses, so I gave her a horse, Sunrise to travel with.
I know in reality, she would never have coped in such a place, any more than I would. But my darkness and anger had to go somewhere. I had to find relief from my pain.
I'm so glad I wrote it, so glad for the God given idea. It took my mind off my grief, and channelled it into something worthwhile, something that honours my sister...keeps her memory alive.
Writing and publishing The Shadowed Valley, stirred my imagination, and the desire to write more.
But I know, that no matter how many books I write, or how much I improve in the years to come. The Shadowed Valley will always hold a special place in my heart...always remind me of my sister Celia.    

I loved this book. Gave it Five Stars.

Descended ~ Sebastian by Dana Pratola is wonderful.

Having read and loved the first book Descended ~ Jet, I wondered how I would feel about the authors second book in the series…I loved it!

Mind you, I am still loyal to Jet. Something about his particular character struck a chord with me.

Sebastian is wonderfully witty, gifted, and gorgeous; but for me he didn’t have Jet’s mystique and authority.

Now, this is not a criticism. It is simply, the author writes so well, that I find myself totally involved with these two fascinating characters. And I couldn’t help comparing them.

In this book, Sebastian teams up with Jet to save two young women trapped by evil men in the sex trade. Sebastian falls in love with one of the woman, Natalie, a beautiful redhead. I really liked her character. She is the perfect foil for Sebastian.

I loved the sarcastic humour between Sebastian and Jet, and often found myself laughing.

If you enjoy a clean Christian romance, that is gritty and edgy, you will love, Descended ~ Sebastian.

I do hope there is more of the same to follow…please!
