Generous Lies
Generous Lies by Robin Patchen My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is book three in Robin Patchen’s “Hidden Truth” series. They are all good!

The Angel of Forest Hill
The Angel of Forest Hill by Cindy Woodsmall My rating: 4 of 5 stars This story hits some hard life issues, like the death of a loved one and emotional abuse by family members.

The Princess Spy
The Princess Spy by Melanie Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another medieval story with that fairytale feel, but I have to admit that I’ve no idea what fairytale sparked this story. A fun read with some returning characters from previous stories by Melanie Dickerson. It’s best to read the Hagenheim books in order.Continue reading “The Princess Spy”
The Captive Maiden
The Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another delightful medieval fairytale from Melanie Dickerson. This is a retelling of Cinderella and it’s beautifully done. I especially love how she did this without the mystical element to it. It’s entirely plausible and will keep you reading if for no other reasonContinue reading “The Captive Maiden”
