Mindfire was a captivating superhero book. It's uniqueness lay in the way Allen Steadham was able to portray the human nature of each person. Superhero, supervillain...each had vices and virtues.

As the second novel of the Algoran series, I was totally held captive by Jordan and her tribe. To watch as Ericka grows into adulthood and the difficulties faced by Jordan kept me engrossed in the story until the very end.
This is probably my favorite book to date. Beroan was the most endearing character, the epitome of selfless sacrifice. Nsi--I could feel her pain and hope. This is definitely new take on the world of shape-shifting.
Heart-pounding, page-turning....this book took me from one pulse-racing scene to another. The characters were complex and the world building so detailed it felt I was there by their side as I read their story.
As a short story, this book packed a wallop. It was eye-opening to see how Jared became a Hunter and what was stripped from him, only to be regained later on by Radon.
This is one book that bridges YA and adult fantasy. More of a high fantasy novel that deals with characters and worldbuilding, I enjoyed this novel immensely. It is one that I would read over and over because it reminds me so much of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, sans magic.
With an unique perspective on the life of Nicodemus, I believe David Harder did an excellent job with this novel. It was easy to immerse myself into the Biblical timeline and feel as though I was walking alongside them.
Written with a nostalgic flair and with endearing characters, I found Final Grains of Sand one of the more poignant and surprising novels that I've ever read.
Alabama Days (A Southern Saga)

Suspense, Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense, Romance, Christian Fiction
So far, this is my favorite book that I have written. Scott really endeared himself to my heart and I grew to love how the character Angela became more self assured.
