Today's Christian Fiction is one of those stories that will definitely tug at your heartstrings.


Long Time Coming
Review: Long Time Coming - Vanessa Miller - November 2010
Are you wanting a book that will tug at your heartstrings ? If so, then prepare to read this book with a box of tissues next to you as once I finished , all I felt like doing was having a weep. I'm not normally the type of girl who tears up with books , movies is a different story but it takes alot for a book to make me tear up.  In Long Time Coming , we meet two women who are from two different worlds - one nice and wealthy, married and a school principal and yearning for one thing in her life - children and the other is a twenty-three year old mother of three children under the age of seven , it's just her , she does what she can to get by. The twenty-three year old Kenisha has just been diagnosed with cervical cancer and is told that she has six months to live , all alone trying to care for her family and juggling doctors appointments is a mission and a half, so when one day Kenisha's sister Aisha forgets to pick up Kenisha's son Jamal , she meets Principal Deidre Clark. As the story goes on , it seems that the two create an on/off friendship and soon it seems as what is happening as a god-thing as Deidre turns out to be Kenisha's rock and angel. So when Kenisha's time is up , it's up to Deidre to make the decision of a lifetime - whether to adopt Kenisha's children or for them to be put into foster care ? Which path will she choose ?
As I said, above this is one of the best Urban Christian Fiction novels I have read.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
