Looking for a new Teen Christian Fiction to read ? One that falls into the category of Edgy Christian Fiction?
Review: Most Likely- Craig Hansen- May 2011
Ever thought that being a christian is easy and a nice joyful road to take ? Not nessecarily , for many of us growing up as Christians we learn a whole lot of values, morals and sometimes compared to the worldly view - our sights can be seen as living in an idealistic world rather than reality. Growing up a Christian for any teenager can be a difficult and bumpy ride, especially when obstacles fall in our way that cause us to be jaded about God and his way. We think - How Could God let this happen ? What is happening in the world that is allowing God to do or let awful things happen to others and those we love and care for ? In Most Likely, we discover a storyline that many if not all can relate in one way or another too . Craig Hansen introduces us to High School student Becky  , she is on the track team , has a great boyfriend, friends and a firm believer in Christ but she will find in the next few months that everything she ever knew or thought was the way is going to come crashing down around her. For years her best friend Tammy Jo has been recieving beatings and since the two became close friends in Eigth Grade- Becky has kept her secret , we read as it may be time for Becky to give up that secret as tragedy strike Tammy Jo and Beckyis left with the voice of "If Only she had told somebody earlier". The second big revelation is Becky's life is that her sister Geena is pregnant and is getting a divorce from her husband Peter. Though the bible preaches against Divorce , is this the right decision for Geena and her unborn child ?
This year with Most Likely Becky will face her biggest challenge and a decision that could affect her life as a Christian - Can she summon up enough of God's Faith and Grace to move forth as a Christian or will she find herself disillusioned and backsliding.
A Great read for any Teen/YA that has ever found themselves questioning God's motives in life.

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...
