Island Peoples ReviewStrong central character development and rich dialog. Follow a young prince as he encounters various races of his civilization. His encounters bring personal 'transformations' to the prince and equip him to accomplish a great deed for his father's honor.
Similar in style and pace to the Chronicles of Narnia, yet unique in its plot. Recommended for middle school ages through adult.Island Peoples OverviewThey say that coming of age is a difficult time--even for princes.Perhaps especially for princes. Sixteen year old Seth was already worried about suddenly becoming the heir apparent in a country torn by war, learning the language of every race on the planet, getting betrothed to some girl he didn't even know, the daughter of his father's greatest enemy. But to be kidnapped too? And why was he so dizzy all the time?

The Keepers of Elenath ReviewSoon after I started this book, I could easily tell it was Bradburn's first novel. The beginning of the plot was confusing: it revealed something awfully quickly, and I couldn't discern the direction of the storyline at all. These starting events were necessary, but could have been written better. About 100 pages in, the story took a solid form and I began to enjoy it. I was a little disappointed when there wasn't too much of the training-in-secret-practices scene that I always enjoy, but it looks as if that will come in the second book. I noticed that many terms were used a few times too many ("former princess," for example) in a short space of time. Overall, the plot and characters steadily improved as the book progressed.
What this means to a Christian: There are many people in the world who call themselves Christians. Many actually are, but some may not have a true understanding. It is the job of those who do to give them, and everyone else, the truth, and an opportunity to know Christ.The Keepers of Elenath OverviewEvil is stirring in Elenath. A rapid chain of events: a righteous king's murder, a dark queen's seizure of the throne, and the stirring of ancient peoples opens a new chapter in Elenath's history. Dark powers seek to control all and a bare few stand against the sinister forces. At the center of the tempest lies Gwaeron, princess of Anirum. Secrets surround her true identity, and the strange gifts she is capable of are sought after by both sides of the silent war. Another evil haunting the land of Elenath; sweeping from the northwestern wasteland to Anirum's eastern coast is the dreaded eves fornost. Hearts of human, elf, etel, and gnome will turnfor good or evil. And the worst is yet to come.

He slips on the ice, and six-year-old twin waifs swoop down and help him up. In the process, they relieve him of his wallet. He goes to the orphanage where they live, to leave money for their care, and ends up adopting them.
So Zack, along with Curly and his sister, Charley, arrive in Kahlerville by rail. They settle in the local boarding house, where Zack stays busy taking over the newspaper and keeping the twins out of trouble.

This she remembers, as well as her feelings for him. She has loved him ever since.
The children are endearing and they interact with Zack and Chloe, as well as others, including Mrs. Scott, schoolteacher, and Simeon, the cook. The owner of the boarding house plies Chloe with unwanted attention, and she begins to wonder if romance with him is all she can expect. But she hopes for the love of her heart.
A Christmas miracle is what they all need. And that's what this story is all about.A Texas Legacy Christmas (Texas Legacy Series #4) OverviewZack Kahler heads back to Texas with a homeless eight-year-old pickpocket named Curly in tow.

The Winter of Candy Canes (Sweet Seasons Novel, A) ReviewThis is the third book in the Sweet Seasons series and it's written for the teen audience (but you don't have to be a teen to enjoy it!).
I haven't read the first two books in the series but I really felt like this could be read as a stand alone and I didn't feel weird jumping in without reading the other two first.
Candace gets hired to work at The Zone once again as a seasonal employee. This time she is given the dangerous job of being Santa's elf. What's so dangerous about that? Plenty.
But in the midst of the usual teen concerns of earning extra spending money and what to get her boyfriend (and other friends) for Christmas, Candace learns how to look beyond herself and what she sees is quite eye-opening.
Working at The Zone has broadened her friendships and in looking for just the right gifts for them she finds out what life is really like for one friend in particular. Candace has a big heart and she's more than willing to do what it takes to make a difference for her friend.
Also, Candace is the leader for a bible study group and is extremely nervous about it, especially when Joy, the holier-than-thou girl, tests her limits.
Candace will probably remember this Christmas season for a long time.
I enjoyed The Winter of Candy Canes and will gladly let my daughter read it and the rest of the series. It was a light, fun read full of action, age-appropriate romance, and spiritual growth. I like that Candace was her own person and didn't form herself around her boyfriend. She's a down-to-earth kind of girl, not a drama queen (although her best friend is one...they make a great pair!).
I also appreciated the various roles Candace played. From home life, to student, to bible study leader, to employee, to friend, to girlfriend. She handled them all very well and showed that teens don't have to have 'tudes. She didn't come across as some perfect, unattainable character. She's the kind of girl you want your daughter to be...and to be friends with.
The Winter of Candy Canes (Sweet Seasons Novel, A) OverviewThey're fun!They're quirky!They're Sweet Seasons---unlike any other girls' books you've ever read. You could call them alternative, God-honoring chick lit.Join Candace Thompson on a sweet, lighthearted, and honest romp through the friendships, romances, family, school, faith, and values that make a girl's life as full as it can be.Seasons change and so will life for at least one park employee.Christmas is coming! And an elf outfit and the minty scent of what seem like a gatrillion candy canes aren't the only adjustments for Candace. Her biggest worry what to get her boyfriend for Christmas turns into a much larger project after Candace is reminded that real needs can be hiding right around the corner. Can this elf capture the true meaning of Christmas in time to make a difference?

The Mark: The Beast Rules the World (Left Behind #8) ReviewI've enjoyed these books and yet I have one REAL BIG problem with them so far. Everyone knows that when you read fiction you have to be prepared to suspend disbelief and tell yourself: "Okay, it's just a book. Everything doesn't have to make sense."
That's fine to a point.
But the LEFT BEHIND series is about events described in the Bible, and it seems to me should be held to a little bit higher standard. I don't expect perfection: the Bible is perfect, everything else is just a book. But I do expect a Christian novel to be thought out well enough by the author(s) that it's not shot full of holes by anyone with a high school education.
I have struggled with this since I read the first book in the series, but have not wanted to criticize the books when there was nothing better on the subject out there to recommend. Well, now I've found something, THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY by James BeauSeigneur. BeauSeigneur has done so much to insure credibility and accuracy in all the broad range of areas he covers in his series, that you'll find yourself believing it could all be true. And the way the story depicts the fulfillment of end-times prophecy will have you convinced that the author's got that nailed too.
I suppose I should say that some Christians get upset because the characters sometimes use a four letter word here and there. But, guess what, folks, non-Christians do that from time to time! (Confidentially, I've heard that even Christians have been know to utter a four-letter word.) Still the profanity is very limited. If you get disgusted with a PG-rated movie, you may not want to read these books. But even this is all just part of the accuracy. Does anyone who's read LEFT BEHIND really believe that Leon Fortunado NEVER cusses???
I could go on, but suffice it to say that if you want to read an end-times series that doesn't strain your ability to believe what you're reading, THE CHRIST CLONE is for you.The Mark: The Beast Rules the World (Left Behind #8) Overview

Forbidden Temptation of a Vampire (Sídhí Summer Camp) ReviewThis book was a surprise! I didn't really know what to expect but the story grabbed me and pulled me in right from the very first page. The writing was very smooth and flowed well throughout the entire book. Although there are a ton of books out there with vampires, fairies, werewolves, elves etc..., the author presents a unique viewpoint with lots of little twists and surprises and the story never slows down.I also enjoyed the way the author handled the relationship between the two main characters. She allows it to grow and doesn't rush it and the minor intimacy between them is appropriate and honest. The secondary characters are well developed and I'm looking forward to reading more about them in future books. Forbidden Temptation of a Vampire is definately an interesting and fun read!
I think this book would be a great read for teens and adults alike. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!Forbidden Temptation of a Vampire (Sídhí Summer Camp) OverviewDragon Council Proclamation:In order to remain undetected by mundane humans on Earth, The Dragon High Council has decided peace between the Sídhí races is critical. Therefore, all Sídhí Valleys will participate in a summer camp hosted by Dragon Valley. It is believed the unique blending of races within the summer camp will achieve the first step toward peace. Participants shall include the eldest two teenage children (or direct descendants) of each council member.Participation in the Peace Camp is not optional.If any Sídhí Valley refuses to participate, all known gateways within that valley will be shut down immediately.A copy of this proclamation has been dispatched to the governmental bodies of all known valleys. ~ ~ ~ Seventeen-year-old, Katie McQuillen is a halfling (vampire/elf mix) in a world where halflings are not acceptable members of polite society. Unfortunately, her grandpa is chairman of the Vampire High Council and she is forced into attending a summer camp meant to create peace between the Sídhí races. She is in the middle of Sídhí puberty - going from scrawny to beach bunny in less than three weeks - when she and her twin brother arrive at camp.Camp starts off with a bang when vampire hottie, Jared Andrews, becomes one of her new seven cabinmates, especially when he can't keep his eyes off her. But is he interested in her, her family's money, or her blood?She might actually enjoy summer camp, if she can stop finding dead bodies and if people stop trying to kill her. ~ ~ ~ 76,000 word count.~ ~ ~ Excerpt“I saw you snitching that last slice of coconut cream pie mom made. You should be ashamed of yourself for not sharing with your beloved brother."She grinned as her twin walked toward her. He was so busy teasing her he didn't notice the slowly rotating ceiling fan. He had a bad case of tunnel vision, or maybe she should say, once he got something stuck in his thick head, he chewed it to death, it rattled around in his hard head and would not go away.For all his teasing, she should let him walk into the fan, but his head would break her ceiling fan.“Mitch," she said, pointing up at the fan in warning.He ignored her, chattering on about how much she was eating during puberty. He was almost there. “Mitch!" She waved her hand to stop him, waiting for the inevitable ker-chunk.“Aargh!" He bellowed and his eyes bugged out. Ducking at the last minute, he neatly avoided the thin wooden blade of the fan. Looking up, he glared at the fan.Katie's laughter filled the room. Talk about priceless. Though, she was glad his cement-hard head hadn't broken her ceiling fan. “Very funny, Katie. Ha. Ha," he grumbled, turning his good-humored glare on her; his lips twitched, trying not to laugh with her.“I tried to stop you."“Just wait until you start your growth spurt. Next week you'll be whining and complaining that nothing fits anymore."“I think it might be sooner than next week. I'd guess a couple of days max." Her clothes were loose, but they irritated her skin. Every time she moved, she felt the brush of her shorts and soft cotton halter-top slide against her sensitive skin. Her skin had started tingling yesterday afternoon. She sighed in resignation, being tender was normal a few days before she started the final growth spurt. “Honestly," Katie said. “I can't wait. To think, I'll actually have'" “Laa! Laa! Laa! Laa!" He loudly bellowed with a sick look on his face and fingers stuck in his ears.“I was just going to say hips," she said, planting her hands on her hips. She grinned at his pained expression. He gave a long-suffering sigh and removed his fingers. She couldn't resist the urge to tease him. “Oh, and I'll finally have boobs." Her giggles turned to laughter as his mortified expression turned beet red. He tried to say something, but only a gurgle came out, while the tips of his pointed ears turned rosy red.Thank you for considering Forbidden Temptation!
