What a ride! Like many second books, this one left me battered and depressed. I do get tired of that. In Christian fiction, I don’t feel like I need to feel I just watched the evening news—but really it wasn’t … Continue reading →
Excellent entertainment with a smidgeon of Truth It’s actually an urban fantasy of sorts, taking place in England. As an Anglophile, I enjoyed that. We have fairies and magic, inter-racial romance, a power-hungry Queen attempting to throttle the Truth, violence, … Continue reading →
