review	Keeper of Reign by Emma Right is a young adult fantasy novel which is full of action and adventure.  I enjoyed the book and found it hard to put down. The author did a good job of developing a storyline which was easy to follow and believable. The story had a lot of similarity with human history and a lot of Judeo Christian beliefs woven within the story. Emma Right did an excellent job with the character development. I like the way she had the characters mature and grow as the story progress.  I found the characters both believable and easy to identify with. I really enjoyed Keeper of the Reign by Emma Right and recommend it to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Click Here to order your copy of Keeper of Reign from Amazon.com       Click Here to order your version from Smashword.com

review	Michael R Hicks has done it again with Empire – Book one of the In Her Name series. This is science fiction at it’s’ best. If you love sci-fi space opera you will love this book. Throughout his different trilogies dealing with the human and Kreelan empires Michael R Hicks has created a universe full action and adventure. This novel Empire is no different. In addition to all the action he has begun to develop and explain the warlike Kreelan culture and mentality. He has made it so real and believable it is easy to put yourself into the story and be consumed by it. The author has done an excellent job of developing the lead characters, making it easy to identify and follow them throughout the story. Through his story telling style and word usage I could feel the raw emotion of the heroes of the story. I have read several of Michael R Hicks' books and all I can say is that they are great. I really enjoyed reading Empire by Michael R Hicks and I highly recommend this book to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Click Here to order your copy of Empire from Amazon.com     Click Here to order your version from Smashwords.com

review	The Cuckoos of Batch Magna by Peter Maughan is a great read about life in a quaint little Welch/English village as the outside world tries to move in. The author style of writing has developed a beautiful picturesque setting which you can easily put yourself into. By his story telling ability I found myself smelling the flowers and visualizing the birds in flight. I love when an author causes me to get so caught up in the story I feel I am there. Peter Maughan has developed a cast of characters that are warm, funny, and believable. I grew up in an isolate rural community and I found it easy to identify with the characters. The Cuckoos of Batch Magna by Peter Maughan is an excellent read, both entertaining and enjoyable. I recommend it to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of The Cuckoos of Batch Magna from Amazon.com

review	A Psalm for the Battle by Martin Roth is a short devotional on Psalm 18. It reflects on the verses and how they apply to the role of Christians in the military. It is an excellent study using both cross references in the Bible and commentary from other authors and sources. I especially like the reflections from actual soldiers and leaders as they discuss their life and experiences in the military. The commentary is well thought out and the presentation is easy to read and understand. I have read several works by Martin Roth and this book, like those, are both well written and clearly presented. I really enjoyed A Psalm for the Battle by Martin Roth and I highly recommend it to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]       Click Here to order your copy of A Psalm for the Battle from Amazon.com

review	The Valley of Darkness, Part 1 by A.B Whelan is the second book in the Fields of Elysium Series. (See my review of Fields of Elysium on January 21, 2013.) This is an exciting continuation of the story began in book one. As a sci-fi YA novel you will not be able to stop reading. The author did an excellent job of tying the storylines and continuing to build on the relationship between our two heroes. With each new twist we see the story build and our heroes mature and grow. The story is easy to follow making it hard to put down once you start reading. A.B. Whelan, as in the first book, does a great job of character development. By writing with feeling and emotion you quickly become attached to the characters and the story. One recommendation to all readers is to read the first book in the series first. It lays the much needed groundwork for this story. I really enjoyed reading The Valley of Darkness, Part 1 by A.B. Whelan. I highly recommend this book and series to all readers.     [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]     Click Here to order your copy of Valley of Darkness from Amazon.com     Click Here to order all other versions from Smashwords.com
