Review: Right Where I Belong - Krista McGee

-



When it comes to Teen Christian Fiction, I have a couple of favourite authors who I will read all their books e.g Melody Carlson, Brandilyn Collins , Nancy Rue and now added to that list is Krista McGee.
I first fell in love with this author's books when I read First Date - all about a Christian girl's journey on a Reality TV Show and then later she brought out Starring Me - again based on a Christian girl's journey on a Tv show. In Krista's new book , she has steered away from the TV spotlight but has still kept the same -well almost the same cast.
Here I present to you Krista McGee's latest book "Right where I belong".
Review: Right Where I Belong - Krista McGee- December 2012
Right Where I Belong starts in Spain , where we meet Natalia. She is about to make the biggest decision of her life and one that may cause an uproar amongst her friends and family. When her father decides to divorce his third wife Maureen , Natalia is devastated as out of the wives she was the only one Natalia could relate to and learn so much from. Natalia with Maureen's help has been moving forth with the notion of becoming a Christian and understanding the amazing power of God's love.  We read as Natalia accompanies Maureen back to America as well as watch Natalia pray to God that she remains single as she never wants to experience what her father does or be one of those women who have all played the role of her stepmother. Natalia and Maureen settle in Tampa and we meet former characters Addy and Lexi who both attend Tampa Christian School where Natalia will be attending.  Is God testing Natalia's heart and faith as he puts the Pastor's son Brian in her path on more than one occasion and what happens when Natalia starts to attract the attention of the most popular boy in school Spencer - a guy who resembles her father ?  Can Natalia grow with God if she has boys on her mind ?
Right where I belong has taken a different direction and a more serious note than Krista's two previous novels as we read the main character Natalia having to come to terms of what it means to be a Christian and the amazing opportunites like mission trips to Costa Rica , that God can put it in your path if you only believe.
A must read for all , though due to the content in this book - I think if you are not used to reading Christian fiction then my advice is to start with something a bit lighter like First Date or Starring Me.
Right Where I belong is the perfect read for those who have really enjoyed Melody Carlson's Diaries Series and Nancy Rue's Nana Beach High.

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...
