Fairy Keeper by Amy Bearce

 🦋Fairy Keeper by Amy Bearce🦋

Book one in the World of Aluvia series. 

This was a cute read! A fantasy fiction of fairies, merfolk, and all sorts of creatures you could imagine. The wide-variety of creatures in this book was fun! This particular setting, is one of my favorites! Sierra and Micah though!.. SO MUCH CUTENESS. Her feisty-ness and his sweet and kind character just fit together like a puzzle. Sometimes a really clean teen book could become a little annoying because of a younger vibe from the characters and such…but this one just had a certain something to it that made it sweet. The parts about how cruel Sierra’s father could be to her and her sister was very sad… and it had Sierra growing up faster just so she could take care of her sister. But thankfully it worked out well. Which reminds me, the sibling content in this book was amazing! I don’t have a sister, but this book had me wanting an older sister like Sierra.

Overall, it was a fun read with a hint of romance and a whole load of adventure!

⚠️I would recommend this book for ages 13+. 

Important content ⬇️

•For the romance part, there was a very lightly detailed kiss and an accidental brush of lips with Sierra and another guy. (It was more awkward than romantic. She sees him as a brother and best friend, nothing more) There are light caresses, holding hands, a hand kiss, and embraces.

There is also attraction, blushing, and nearness… wanting someone to cherish them, trying not to have feelings for someone, and falling in love (very light) 

•There are some harsh moments with her father and some fighting, but personally, I didn’t have a problem with it. It had good balance!🙂

Other than those details, everything was clean and spotless!

The rating that I would give this book would be 4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to thank the author for personally recommending her books to me at the library.💛 It was really cool to meet her!

Can’t wait to review the rest of this series soon!💖

Legacy of Longdale Manor by Carrie Turansky

A historical fiction. 

“Two women—a century apart—embark on a journey to healing, faith, forgiveness, and romance.”

Two words, So SWEET. ☺️

Between the two, I’m going to have to say that I LOVED Ian and Charlotte’s story better, but it doesn’t mean that I didn’t like Gwen and David’s either. They were both equally well done✨ I never got confused with the character switch every chapter, so well done to the author! Every single time there was a part in either story, that needed answers; I literally would tense up because the next chapter would switch to the story. It got a little frustrating.😅 But it never lessened my liking of this book.. if anything, the suspense in switching the stories every chapter, made me want to read it faster to find out what would happen next.😁 I loved the character build up, the character’s faith, and the romance was really sweet and clean! 

⚠️ The age recommendation that I’ll give for this book would be 14+. There are some reasons to why I gave this recommendation so I will list them. 

•In Charlotte’s story, there are constant mentions of her father having a love affair with another woman for a couple of years. There’s some light details of some found love letters and such, but no other other mentions of anything else. 

•Gwen’s father was a drunkard and because of that, her mother divorced him shortly after they were married. 

•For the romance side, there were a couple of mildly detailed kisses and only one or two very light kisses. Some forehead and top of the head kisses, holding hands, embraces, and light touches. Falling in love, attraction, and blushing because of nearness. 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS!

Overall, this was such a delightful read! 💖

Nova by Chuck Black

✨Nova by Chuck Black✨

Book One in the Starlore Legacy.

If you like Sci-fi, allegories, and a very light romance… then, this is your book.💗

This is a story of Moses through an allegory about a cadet named Daeson, who doesn’t actually know who he really is or how important he’ll become to the one they call Sovereign Ell Yon’s plans

I loved the immediate story of Moses through the allegory and the fact that you could clearly see it.

When I read Nova, for the first time a couple years ago, I got sucked into the story pretty fast; and rereading and remembering it now, it didn’t ever have a boring moment.😄 The facts, details, and pictures for the vehicles and weaponry was an extra plus also! As a whole, I adored the characters and their banter; and especially Rivet, it was so fun to read about the funny and loyal robot! I also loved how Raviel tried not to love or care about Daeson in a romantic way because he didn’t believe in everything that she did. Points to the author!🎖️🎖️

Overall, this is an awesome book!!😍

⚠️ I would recommend this book for ages 13+; just because of the fact of there being a brush of romance and older characters. But this all depends on the parent and what they allow.

•For the romance part of it, there are two cheek kisses and a forehead kiss, holding hands, some very light detailed embraces, and the character’s feelings for each other (we mostly see Daeson’s POV, so its mostly his feelings for her).

The rating that I would give is 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an awesome book and I hope to review the second book soon! 🥰🥰

Pearl in the Sand by Tessa Afshar

 

One of my favorite Tessa Afshar books so far! A Biblical Historical novel about Rahab. It was very well done by Miss Tessa Afshar; and the biblical facts and history were just phenomenal. We don't read much of Rahab's love story or struggles in the Bible, but we definitely get the fictional story in this book. I just loved the banter between Rahab and Salmone; it had me giggling at times.😊 I also loved seeing the growth of their marriage at the end and seeing them work through the problems they faced, with the grace of God, of course! Overall, such a good book! 😍😍 ✨The age of recommendation for this book would be 15-16+ because of certain content that I will make known. •Throughout the whole book there are constant mentions of Rahab being a harlot, her past, and her experiences in what she did for a living. There are no details to what she did…only that she entertained men. •There’s no “detailed” mentions about the marriage bed. Though we have an idea of what they’re about to do after their wedding, I love how Tessa keeps it clean. •Quite a few kisses (some detailed and some not so much) though most of those kisses were when they were married; and I personally think that there is a difference when the couple is married and when they’re not married; Some touches, nearness, and mentions of desiring intimacy. On a good note, •There is no foul language or profanity 🙌🏼and very little violence.. I would say that there are some intense moments during a battle and it does get a little detailed with a certain moment seeing dead people. This also depends if you’re a little sensitive with blood and the topic of death. Overall, my rating for this book would be 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was not the only book I’ve read by Tessa Afshar and so far all the books I’ve read by her are AMAZING; and I’m excited on what she’ll write next!
