Convicted (The Paradigm Shift Trilogy Book 1) by Raven Price 

Convicted is a story about an abused woman, Hope, who sought support within the church she grew up with; desperate for peace and comfort. Hope is inspired by a female television evangelist, and she begins a spiritual and supernatural journey, one that unfolds in ways no one could ever imagine. This story is well written, and the pace is solid. I give this story five stars! Hope has ‘hope’ and a whole lot more!!!

“Not Really Gone” by Blair Sharpe, is a memoir. I was able to relate so well with the chaos that Blair grew up with, all the sorrows and triumphs. This story touched me in a manner, that, in some ways, I didn’t suffer as I grew up. Sharpe’s book relates to teenagers, and adults in so many ways. Thank you Blair!

#MaxBear and Kristina Ball are rising stars. Awesome book teaches children about bullies and what to do if you are being bullied!

“The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York. I bought this book to read and review as a member of RRBC. This genre was my favorite as a teenager until I found romances. “The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York, is a nice YA read, especially for girls, since the two main characters are girls, Christi and Lily. Joy brings out the scenes nicely and both girls characters are brought forth nicely as well. The story was bumpy throughout, and really didn’t start to fly until almost one third of the way into the book but the girls really shined. The suspense and the little bit of romance helped in rounding out the story line. Joy York certainly has the appeal for understanding teenagers and the ability to write about them in a manner that truly to speak to teenagers. Nicely done.
