THE BIBLE BOYS | Dan Skinner | @DanSkinnerArt

Growing up in a very religious family with a high school “best friend” (who was in a much more intense religion at the time) connected the story to my past, and I caught myself smiling several times. While I’m grateful I didn’t have Caleb and Matthew’s super-strict religious families or …

DARK SPACE | Lisa Henry | @LisaHenryOnline

The last place you want to be stranded is on a space station, where the only thing keeping oxygen in your lungs is metal and glass. That’s pretty much what Recruit Brady Garrett thought about the black –space. Except it’s not really glass.  In this storyline, sixteen-year-olds boys are conscripted to military …

Book two of the Leeches series, Jack, picks up where book one ends but switches to Jack. Like a good story, book one leaves you hanging and wanting more.

LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE | Jay Bell

What a cute story! Like and Subscribe brought back memories of my creative writing classes in high school – and what a fun time those were. The author’s style, use of fun words, and his ability to give the reader direct access to the characters — their thoughts and feelings — is …

THE RACE FOR SECOND | Chase Potter

“Chase Potter!” I yell. Frustration make my voice gruff. “What the hell? Who’s that?” Tim asks. He looks up from the book he reads next to me. “Ugh,” I say. “He’s the author of this book. His characters, this story, it’s… Daniel, he won’t, ugh, well, so far he hasn’t…” …

SOMETHING LIKE AUTUMN | Jay Bell | @JayBellBooks

I’m so glad Jay Bell wrote a book that let us into the mind and character of Jace Holden – one of the key characters in the Something Like predecessor books Summer and Winter. Finally, us fans could learn about the calm, caring, and wonderful man who gently captured Ben’s heart. I thoroughly …
