Rebel Book Reviews

Joanie Bruce & her debut novel Alana Candler, Marked for Murder Joanie Bruce has written a fast paced, page turning romantic suspense novel. This book captured my interested and held it throughout, despite the technical writing flaws which were few in number. Normally, the first instance of "head-hopping" or "backstory dump" I would put the book aside and lose interest. BUT NOT this book...her writing style surpassed the flaws. The faith of the main character Alana was evident and the growth seen in Jadyn was a smooth transition into a faithful believer. Her twists and turns in the plot kept me guessing. Although I found myself correct in my assumption of the mastermind behind the crimes, throughout the book she had me second guessing myself. Hints and foreshadowing made me turn the page and read as fast as I could to see if my conclusions were correct. For a good suspense with a beautiful romantic subplot, this book is highly recommended . It

Prized! Your Journey as His Daughter by Noelle Toscano Noelle Toscano shares her emotional testimony of trials and discoveries in Prized! . Uplifting and honest about mistakes and consequences, the author candidly talks about finding that loving relationship with Jesus Christ and how to find security, belonging, and personal identity through Him. Short and concise chapters discuss the variations in a girl's life, from child to young adult. While the reader may skip to any chapter that speaks to her, I encourage the reader to start from beginning and never skip. A rewarding and thought provoking book, Noelle Toscano has written a devotional type book to encourage young girls to Be Not of This World. ***I received this book through BookCrash in exchange for an honest review***
