The Violet Awakening| Book Review

Angela Dawson thought she had left the white walls of The Facility behind her for good, but the combination of a suspicious earthquake and a picture of a familiar face forces her to realize that she was mistaken.

A new darkness within the underground-prison beckons her return, and leads to a decision no person should ever have to make. Weighing the value of revenge against the value of life, Angie has no choice but to accept that she may not be the kind of person she’d thought she was.

An encroaching threat makes the prospect of war all too real, and the sudden urgency to locate the others from her generation leaves Angie with an unnerving realization; The Elementums may have more dangerous things to worry about than The Destructive Ones.

Through secrets, deceit, and loss, Angie is left with only a dream and the words of a fallen friend to guide her; Be wary of the Violets. – Goodreads Description

How is it possible that this book is even better than the first one? I’m impressed with the wit, the snarky jokes, the fast-paced writing, the suspense, and plot twists- all so good! Especially the character development,

Book Review: Hit by Lorie Ann Grover

Sarah, a highschool student, is hit by a car on her way to poetry class. In her pocket is a poem to Mr. Haddings, her poetry teacher, whom she is crushing on.

This book was okay, not amazing though. It’s told from Continue reading

“Tried and True” by Mary Connealy

Kylie Wilde is the youngest sister—and the most civilized. Her older sisters might be happy dressing in trousers and posing as men, but Kylie has grown her hair long and wears skirts every chance she gets. It’s a risk—they are homesteading using the special exemptions they earned serving in the Civil War as “boys”—but Kylie plans to make the most of the years before she can sell her property and return to the luxuries of life back East.

Local land agent Aaron Masterson is fascinated with Kylie from the moment her long hair falls from her cap. But now that he knows her secret, can he in good conscience defraud the U.S. government? And when someone tries to force Kylie off her land, does he have any hope of convincing her that marrying him and settling on the frontier is the better option for her future?

It’s been quite a while since I’ve read any Christian Romance, and this was the perfect book to get me back into loving the genre! I liked this book a lot! The characters are complex and compelling, the plot is packed with action and mystery, and the writing is fun and full of cowboy charm. Continue reading
