Review: Through Rushing Water - Catherine Richmond - July 2012

Set in 1876 , Through Rushing Water is a Historical Christian novel and tells the story of the quote "when one door closes, another one will open". 
Sophia has been working as a teacher and courting the upcoming Senator and believes that he will propose to her and she will become the new Mrs. Montgomery and be the Lady of the House. All this comes crashing down around her as he proposes to her friend Annabelle instead. Heartbroken , Sophia attends a lecture on missionary work in China and helping save the Christians who are at this stage getting persecuted for their beliefs. What scares me though as I was reading this was that in some parts of the world in the year 2013 the persecution of Christians is still happening.  Sophia believing she is to be sent to China hops aboard the missionary team only to eventually discover she is being sent a little bit closer to home to the Pocona territory - American Indian central where stories of brutality from the indians has been spreading like wildfire. As the story moves on Sophia comes to realise , all is not what it seems and soon her heart falls for the community and she begins to find herself at home and even with a love interest or two heading her way.  When tragedy strikes , will Sophia be able to put her beliefs in God completely as she comes to realise that the only way to fulfill the plan that God has created for her is to ignore everything around her and focus on his ways as when the time is correct , he will provide everything her heart desires.
Through Rushing Water is a nice read for those who love Historical Christian Fiction and Missionary Work around the Wild Wild West territories.

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...
