The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

๐Ÿ‘‘The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen ๐Ÿ‘‘


Book #1 in the Ascendance series. 



Blurb: 


In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point-he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.

As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.

AHHH MY MIND!! 

WHAT WAS THAT?!! 


 I think my mind is still trying to wrap around that whole plot twist called an ending.. like it’s been weeks and my brain is still processing ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

This book just proved how good of a writer Jennifer Nielsen is! 

Like.. that plot twist that I did NOT see coming?! 

Yeah you heard right.. I didn’t even think about that being a possibility! 

And I feel like listening to the audiobook for the first time ever reading it made it SO MUCH better and I also give the narrator an A+ because I thought his voice was perfect for Sage. 


And just so I heard right.. [Major Spoiler] 

Sage is Prince Jaron and Princess Jaron is Sage??!!

~ Sage ~

Honestly he’s my favorite. Smart, Clever, Sarcastic, Humble but had confidence, Brave but yet not scared to be afraid, Kind… 

Great Qualities right?  He would make a great king one day, just sayin. I loved how we got to know him but I have a feeling that there’s a LOT more to know about him as we continue the series. 

Also, Team Sage and Imogen ALL THE WAY! 


~ Conner ~

Ugghhh.. I loathed him, really. 


~ Rodin ~ 

Too full of himself.. no thank you!! 

He deserved what he got by the end. 


~ Tobias ~

Didn’t like him at first BUT ☝️ he grew on me by the middle-ish part of the book and I started thinking “no no don’t kill him! He actually was starting to do some good!!” 


~ Imogen ~

We didn’t get to see a lot of her.. but we got to see enough of her to see her compassion ,and sweet and quiet nature. 

I can already see me loving her in the near future! 


I could not recommend this book enough!! I need the second book ASAP ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜…

A fantastic book full of action, fantasy, a 15th century feel, and politics!! That being said, IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS YET.. PLEASE GO READ IT!!

Sexual Content:

 2 cheek kisses, a couple of embraces, and very light touches. Some slight noticing, and thinking someone is pretty. A mention of marriage, an arranged marriage, and the crowned prince having to marry the girl Jaron was promised to. A tiny bit of dancing but mostly practicing with older women. A girl nurses Sage’s wounds on his back. A tiny bit of emotions and feelings but it’s very vague and  only hints at it. 


Profanity: 

No cussing. 

Stupid was said i think. 


Violence: 

Some blood, killing, murder, fighting, sword fighting,  threatening, getting cut by a knife, seeing someone die, Sage used to steal. 

Pain. Getting whipped and beaten. 

All of this is pretty moderate and definitely normal for a fantasy book. (PG)

Killer in the Margins by Eliza Floretta

๐Ÿ“œKiller in the Margins by Eliza Floretta๐Ÿ“œ

 Book One in The Red Pen Mysteries series.

๐Ÿ“ข ARC READ!! ๐Ÿ“ข

๐Ÿ“– Expected Publication Date: September 10, 2025 ๐Ÿ“–

Blurb:

I’m Jessica Larsen. My mom’s a powerhouse entrepreneur, my sister’s a doctor, and I’m… an author with a normal 9-to-5 that I can’t seem to keep. After getting fired (again) and dumped by my boyfriend of two years (again), I have no choice but to take a job as a caretaker for my eccentric grandfather in a tiny town with nothing to do.

At least I’ll have time to write—unless, of course, I get roped into something ridiculous. Like bonding with my grandfather over his secret past as a detective. Or stumbling onto a murder way too close to home.

Now, with my grandfather’s old case files and a town full of quirky suspects, I have to solve this mystery-because surely, it can’t be that different from writing crime novels… right?

My thoughts:

Tropes and things you’ll like: 

๐Ÿ“Œ Small-town Charm 

๐Ÿ“Œ Sweet Romance

๐Ÿ“Œ Indie Author FMC 

๐Ÿ“Œ Neurodivergent amateur sleuth 

๐Ÿ“Œ Cold-case with a recent murder 

๐Ÿ“Œ Cat as companion 

๐Ÿ“Œ MMC is a Cop

๐Ÿ“Œ Fall vibes 

๐Ÿ“Œ Suspenseful moments 

“You only think your mind’s frazzled because that’s what everyone keeps telling you. You can’t keep up in this society, because this society wasn’t built for your mind—just theirs.”

Wow.. I cannot believe how suspenseful and thrilling that was! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ It seemed like after the first few chapters we’re thrown headfirst into a mystery that’ll make you wonder and turn pages furiously until you find out what happens next. 

~ Plot ~

It was like something happened, one after the other, and I couldn’t stop having my own theories of “who did what” and “who I think is bad”. I would’ve never guessed who did it if not for the minor clues and suspicous activity coming from that man…(no spoilers from me!) I also loved how this book gave Fall vibes! ๐Ÿ 

“He breathed a chuckle. ‘You’re a ten out of ten normally, but with a gun in your hand, you’re an eleven, so yeah, I’m willing to take the risk.’”

 

—> Jessica 

To put it simply, I loved her! 

(1) She was an Indie Fantasy Author [loved that!] (2) She was a quiet yet sweet soul who just needed somebody to love her for who she was. I wanted to give her a big hug! (3) Because she didn’t realize she was beautiful inside and OUT (and 4) In the end, she didn’t let people get the best of her. Although she made a terrible mistake of trying to change HERSELF for a man… she finally realized that she didn’t have to and that the right man would lover her for who she is. I practically was screaming MICHAEL, MICHAEL, MICHAEL!!! 

“I’m a man. I know how a guy’s mind works. And you, Jessica Larsen, you’re a catch worth taking a bullet for.”

—> Thomas 

Don’t get me started on him!!! He made my blood boil. Like who does this guy think he is to literally give up the BEST girl he could have and all because she was too dependent on him?!! All he was, was manipulative and toxic to Jessica (poor girl and her emotions). 

“You are the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time, Jessica Larsen. You’re funny and beautiful and smart as a whip. And I’d love for you to be my girlfriend. So, will you be my girlfriend?”

—> Michael 

swoons. Is there hope for man like him in my future?? I hope so… cuz he was the sweetest! So protective and kind, plus he was a Cop too ๐Ÿ˜. I loved how he kept saying he’d wait and let Jessica think about having a relationship with him. It was adorable how he would constantly flirt giving her compliment after compliment ๐Ÿ’ž

In conclusion, I very much enjoyed this cozy mystery! There wasn’t a boring moment and I hope to continue this cozy series and see what mysteries and trouble Jessica gets into!

The Rules of Falling for You by Mollie Rushmeyer

๐Ÿ“–Expected Publication Date: September 2, 2025๐Ÿ“–

Blurb:

The perfect match can’t be far–certainly not at a Regency-themed singles retreat–or so podcaster Zoe Dufour believes. After years of creating content for her relationship podcast inspired by Regency etiquette and era-appropriate rules for romance, she knows her listeners have anticipated this retreat. But she also attends with expectations of her finding the ideal modern-day gentleman who can meet every one of the nonnegotiables on her checklist.

Harrison Lundquist, Zoe’s podcast producer and best friend’s brother, reluctantly agrees to attend the retreat to capture footage while seeking a career-advancing promotion. He views the retreat as ridiculous. And Zoe’s methods for finding her real-life Mr. Darcy? Downright absurd! But as he films her whirlwind dates, his growing feelings for her are sidelined by suitors vying for her attention. When Zoe realizes her ideal checklist might be holding her back, she must decide if she’s willing to rewrite her rules and take a chance on the person who has been there all along.

~ Narrators ~

I listened to the audiobook and I may (at first) disliked the narrators but, soon enough it started clicking with the characters and I started imagining them to sound like the narrators. 

~ Plot ~

This book had me rolling!!! So much humor and hilarious moments, and yet Rushmeyer puts the serious trials and faith into a greater perspective in how to live our lives to the fullest but still trusting in God, for He knows our future and does what is best for us. 

—> Miss Zoe Dufour 

The “Love advice by Regency rules” Podcaster. The Pride and Prejudice Enthusiast. The love of Harrison’s life…

She was great! A little stubborn at times (those times being a little more than frustrating with her choices regarding “suitors”) but she came through. I also felt like her having a chronic illness made her more real in a way for me.. I want to point out, as well, that she was a Plant Mama!! I literally kicked my feet and giggled ๐Ÿ˜‚ (I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where the FMC is a plant lover.) ๐ŸคซIt’s because my mom is one, haha๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ˜‚ Zoe had a sweet clumsiness about her and such a loving and shy spirit that made her so lovable. 

—> Mr. Harrison Lundquist

The best friend’s brother. The podcast producer. The sweet guy who’s got it bad for his sister’s friend…

He was so hilarious and yet SO SWOONY! He was the reason I would burst out laughing while I was listening to the audiobook. And that library scene… and in his room.. *cough cough* [Blushes and giggles giddily] I’ll leave that to you in whether or not you want to find out what happens, and not just in those parts… every single one. 

I just adored this book! A great lovely book with faith, love, and a whole lot of Regency vibes! Would totally recommend! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

Where We Went Wrong by Anastasia Layne

*Mini Review*

๐ŸŒŠWhere We Went Wrong by Anastasia Layne๐ŸŒŠ

Tropes and things you’ll love:

๐ŸŒŠ Best Friend’s Older Brother 

๐ŸŒŠ Second Chance 

๐ŸŒŠ Summer Romance 

๐ŸŒŠ First Kiss 

๐ŸŒŠ Flashbacks 

๐ŸŒŠ Mutual Pining 

๐ŸŒŠ Dual POV 



When I had first seen this book as a recommendation on a website for clean books.. I immediately saw this one and wanted to read it. I don’t often read second chance romances so I decided to try it out! It definitely was a cutsie read, it just wasn’t entirely my favorite. There’s always this factor in second chance romances, of that miscommunication vibe and the hurt you see in them.. they never fail to make me feel frustrated in that sort of way when you it want the characters to ‘fess up already lol. Well, I felt a lot of that in this book. It did make you anxious for the ending though! Although, the way the author wrote their confessions and their very sweet moment after forgiving one another was SO ADORABLE. I liked the characters, the romance was sweet, and the beach vibes definitely gave it a good flavor for summer! 

—> Melody

She wasn’t my favorite but she wasn’t bad either. She was hurt, heartbroken, and trying but not succeeding to forget all about the MMC. I loved how she was loyal to her best friend and that her best friend was oblivious, OBLIVIOUS I TELL YOU, to all the tension going on between her and Axel. It was kinda funny when Melody had finally told her about her crush on her big brother lol. 

—> Axel

He was a cutie! Even though he had this sort of attitude towards Melody and stuff it made me get a little mad at him but just like Melody.. I fell for his charm, wit, and lovableness (is that a word?) He was also hurt.. and yeah I felt bad for him but I was still like “you could’ve told her about what happened ages ago and you waited all this time”. 

The flashbacks were a plus too! I liked how the author didn’t leave us in the dark about what happened, then finding out later.. this was much more efficient, but it made you crazy for them to make it up to each other lol. Their flashback to their first kiss was.. something. It definitely had that sizzling, swooning effect on you.. and had a bit more details than I was okay with but it didn’t cross that line. And the kisses after their flashback were not near so detailed as their first kiss in the past so I was thankful for that. 

—> Conclusion

I enjoyed this quick YA Summer Romance and I would definitely recommend reading on vacation, at the beach, or anywhere lately. If you’re looking for a clean summer read then this might be one to look into! This book will have you wishing to be on the beach while watching a sunset! 

⚠️ Age Suggestion: 16+ because of that first kiss (but if you’re okay with more detailed kissing scenes than 14-15+ ⚠️

A Quest for Deliverance by Cara E. Ruegg

๐Ÿ•ฏ️A Quest for Deliverance by Cara E. Ruegg๐Ÿ•ฏ️

Book #4 in the Multi Author standalone series, Lives of Legends. [Books can be read in any order]

ARC Review! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ“– Expected Publication Date: August 29, 2025 ๐Ÿ“–

Blurb: 

Ariadne has never believed in the gods her father worships, the ones who demand blood sacrifices and rule with fear. She knows that they’re not gods, just people with strange powers—like her. But in a court where power is everything, revealing her secret could make her a pawn in her father’s ruthless game.

When a stranger arrives, immune to her abilities and shrouded in mystery, Ariadne is drawn to him. But falling for him could be her undoing, especially when her father condemns him to the Labyrinth, a maze that no one escapes alive. Determined to save him, Ariadne ventures into the maze herself, guided by her hidden abilities and an unlikely ally.

A Quest for Deliverance, a retelling of Theseus and Ariadne, is a standalone no-spice novella, complete with tropes like forbidden romance, enemies to lovers vibes, and self-discovery. It is part of the “Lives of Legend” series, a collection of twelve retellings of Greek myths where the tragedies become happily ever afters. Each book is written by a different author so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the Human Coalition to provide for mothers facing crisis pregnancies.

My thoughts:

Another great book written by Cara Ruegg! 

I didn’t even realize this was part of a multi author series, until like last night… yeah, we don’t talk about that. It’s actually a pretty quick and sweet little book that I would almost call it a novella?? ๐Ÿค”

I thought the Greek Mythology woven in this book was pretty cool and interesting! I had never heard of Ariadne and Theseus’s story before so it was something new. There were these little curveballs in the story that kept my mind tossing and turning.. asking myself questions furiously like, “who is she gonna end up with?” or “she better not end up with him!”. Not gonna say who though! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Ariadne —> was such a humble person and I loved that about her. She was that princess ‘god’ that visited and had compassion on the poor. She was bit naive and fell in love with this “faker” that didn’t even love her and was just messing with her emotions. But all things went well by the end! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜„ 

Theseus —> didn’t really like him ๐Ÿ˜’ He really didn’t have any depth until the end. 

Dionysus —> the “god”… he grew on meeee [swoon] I think that’s all I’ll say.. I don’t wanna give anything else away ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜…

“I wish to kiss you now, believe me, but I want it to be at the moment I can fully say, ‘You’re mine.’”

In conclusion, this was a cute and squeaky clean little book with hardly any details in the romance, had no language, and not a lot of details on the Greek Mythology (my opinion). 

I received this ARC (Advanced Readers Copy) from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review! Thank you to Cara E. Ruegg for the opportunity!

Mark of Orion by S. L. Richardson

๐ŸชฝMark of Orion by S. L. Richardson๐Ÿชฝ

Book One in the Guardians of Orion trilogy.

Blurb:

If you like sinister demons, warrior angels, supernatural powers, ancient lineages, with a twist of deception and ruthless revenge… then you don’t want to miss this new exciting page-turning series!

Three Teens…

Three Fallen…

Humanity’s future is at stake.

Seventeen-year-old Olivia has seen some wild things living in Las Vegas—but never a demon—until one attacks but fails to kidnap her. Left with a celestial mark on her chest, Olivia sets out on a treacherous journey with two friends who share in her mystical lineage, only to find herself blindsided by the unwelcomed return of her absent father. Now, she must unravel her parent’s deceit and grapple with her painful past all the while unlocking the powerful secrets that will forever change her world. Except she’s also fighting her growing attraction to one of her friends while thrust into the unending war between the Fallen and Archangels.

When the Fallen maliciously strike against her and plot revenge upon those she loves, Olivia finds herself faced with an impossible mission.

Can she leave her life behind and enhance her powers to master the supernatural skills needed to slay the Fallen while guarding the secrets of Orion?

Of course. Not a problem. Except if she fails, the balance between Heaven and Hell will shift—leaving mankind at the mercy of the ultimate evil and his bloodthirsty horde.

My thoughts:

Wow… I really wasn’t expecting this. I got so much more than I was expecting. It was different than my usual read, but a good different! I would say that’s it’s either a hit or miss. I know some people have a problem with Angels and Demons being in books, but then some don’t, so it really depends on you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The plot was pretty crazy! I really liked how the author mixed both the story in the beginning of Genesis and Fiction together. The moment when they became Guardians??? So cool! There was so much action and suspense to keep me going. 

I really liked all the characters! There was a lot of character development in our trio. ๐Ÿ™‚ I liked Olivia.. she was alright! She was going through some hard things but still managed to be strong. Although I really wished she could’ve forgave her dad. Sergio was a good best friend! Loyal and supportive.. I kind of got worried for him by the end ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿซ  Zach… ahh he was my favorite! The cute guy who Olivia had a crush on.. the sweetest guy Liv could ask for! So reliable too! 

(NOTE!)

There were some parts that were just… kinda dark, mostly where the demons and Lucifer were involved. I liked how it didn’t go over semi-detailed in those parts, though. We also see the perspective of an angel who has “sinned” and turns evil. 

Overall, Mark of Orion was a great start to this trio’s journey! I really enjoyed it although I would caution for younger readers.

 I would recommend to those who enjoy and are okay with:
