Review: Indivisible - Travis Thrasher - October 2018
Based on a true story of a couple finding themselves and coming back to a place of love and compassion and happiness after a tragic moment in their relationship. There is also a movie based on this story. Indivisible starts with a Christian family named the Turners. Darren Turner is a minister and the family is all for serving God before Heather got pregnant and had her family she had wanted to become a missionary and serve. A news report features President George Bush talking about the war and terrorism in Iraq and the beginning of Osama Bin Laden and the Al-Qaeda. They are asking Americans to sign up and join the army and the fight to save the regular people from danger. Darren sees this as his calling and so the Turner family moved to an Army base where Darren signs up as an Army Chaplain. Within the next few months, Darren learns that he is being sent overseas with a troop for fifteen months. The family prepare and tears are shed. For the first three-six months Darren and Heather keep in good spirits and contact but then things start to get strained as overseas Darren is being hit every day by death of both American troops and innocent civilians - children and adults. He is losing friends and having to preside over the funerals of them all is getting to him. His communication with his family begins to slack and become short and sharp when he does get a chance. When Darren returns home from the war, he is a different person and not the same loving and caring husband and father he used to be. Even his children are afraid of him. Can Darren and Heather repair their marriage and their family? Will Darren be able to move on from what he experienced and let Heather into his heart again or was is the man he was before the war disappeared for good?
Find out in this emotional, inspiring and powerful read by Travis Thrasher "Indivisible". After finishing this book and feeling like I did afterward, I am now interested in watching the movie.

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...

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.

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...
