Review: Keep Holding On by Melissa Tagg

5 Stars! 

If you know me at all then you probably know that I have been a huge fan of Melissa Tagg's since I read her first published book, Made to Last! There is just something about the Walker family, I have loved them ever since the prequel novella, and they are on my list of all time favorite fictional families! 

I have been so looking forward to reading Beckett's story and discovering why he hadn't been home in six years, so I loved finally finding out about his past! 

Beckett and Kit were both great characters and their story was so totally awesome! I found myself relating to Kit quite a lot. I knew that Melissa Tagg's books are always both tons of fun to read as well as incredibly inspiring and soul stirring, so I bought the Kindle version of this book because of how easy it is to highlight passages I want to re-read, and let me tell you, it was the right choice. I can't even begin to count how many moments of awesomeness I highlighted! I love this cover though so I definitely plan to include a paperback copy of this book on my Christmas wish list! 

The message in this book touched my heart so deeply that I plan to re-read several passages probably daily as a reminder to keep holding on to God and that He will never let go of me! Yet again God spoke to me through a work of fiction just when I needed it! 

Overall, I loved everything about this book and cannot wait to read Raegan and Bear's story, which I have been not so patiently waiting for ever since I first "met" them! 

All of Melissa's books are amazing, I can't recommend them highly enough, in my opinion everyone should read them!

Review: The Raven by Mike Nappa

3.5 Stars.

I read and loved Annabel Lee earlier this year and so needless to say I was really looking forward to The Raven, and while it was good it unfortunately didn't quite meet my expectations, I realize that this was probably largely my fault because my expectations were probably unrealistically high. I just never really connected with and "got into" this story the way I did Annabel Lee, I'm not really sure why. It could be because I was in a bit of a reading slump when I started this book and the pace seemed slow to me, also for most of this book it didn't seem to me like there was as much action as I had expected. I did like that the story line really kept me guessing about what was going to happen. I also liked that this book progressed Trudi and Samuel's relationship, I look forward to seeing what happens in their lives next. 

Overall, this was a good read that I liked but I don't know that I will read it again, I do however plan to read the next book in the series! 

While this book wasn't really my cup of tea, please don't just take my word for it. If this book sounds interesting to you, I recommend that you give it a try.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell publishers in exchange for my honest review, my review was not required to be positive just my honest opinion.

The above is my honest review, all thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own.
