My Review

I knew that the My Little Bible By Diane Le Feyer was going to be small, but I was surprised by how small. It is the perfect size for a young child as they could hold it in their little hands. I found that the book did a good job with simplifying most of the bible stories, however their were a few that could have done better. Those few lacked the context needed to understand the importance of the story. Sampson and Delilah talks about how Sampson's strength comes from his hair so Delilah cut his hair while he slept and then his enemies captured him. The story lacks the context needed for a child to understand why this is a bible story. However I feel that this book would still be a great book for a young child if they had a parent who knows enough about the bible to offer further explanations if needed. I was sent a copy of this book for free for only my honest and unbiased review of this book.

Twin sisters. A fatal accident. A devastating lie. Which girl survived?

"A girl takes over her twin sister's identity in this emotionally charged page-turner about the complicated bond between sisters."

Ella and Maddy Lawton are identical twins. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy's shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy. In fact, she's chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy's world.

When--after a heated argument--Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves Maddy dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. Feeling responsible for Maddy's death and everyone's grief, Ella makes a split-second decision to pretend to be Maddy. And everyone believes her. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options--confess her deception and risk devastating those who loved Maddy, or give up her own dreams and live her sister's life.

Praise


*"Leaver's brilliant novel is the high school version of What Happened to Janie? The compelling premise will attract readers and the strong characterization will keep them enthralled." -VOYA, STARRED REVIEW

*“Leaver's story is certainly entertaining and intriguing. VERDICT This should be a primary purchase for any library with patrons who love melodramatic mysteries and romance.” SLJ, STARRED AUDIO REVIEW

"Trisha Leaver crafts a powerful and haunting novel that will keep you up long after you read the last page. Full of twists and turns and FEELS, this book questions how far a person will go for her family . . . even if it means losing herself." - Lynne Matson, author of NIL


The Excerpt


I don’t remember her room being so cold. Even snuggled into her sweater the chill seeps in, settling into my bones like a whisper from beyond. That’s where I will sleep tonight...in Maddy’s bed, surround by her scent. Mom wants to change the sheets, but I won’t let her. The hint of vanilla mingled with Alex’s dark cologne brings a little piece of my sister back to me each night.

The only thing I have left of my old life is a few sketches and a poor replica of the friendship bracelet Josh gave me. It took me days to re-create, to weave the strings into the right pattern. It’s not perfect, but it goes with me everywhere, a tiny reminder of who I once was and what Josh still means to me. The real bracelet is gone, cut off and tossed aside just like my life.

I want to make peace with my choice, but Maddy’s secret haunts me. The dark pieces of her life are hid- den in the back of her closet for no one but me to see. She’s not who I thought she was, but that doesn’t matter. Maddy was my sister, my twin sister, and I’ll do anything for her, including losing myself.


The Teasers


There was a fear behind his words, a fear that I would change my mind and reveal a secret I didn't even know.”

“I am already gone. I died that night on the side of the road with my sister.”

LILAE ESCAPED SLAVERY.
LIAM ESCAPED DEATH. 


After their dreamscapes collided, the Flame and the Storm finally meet in the real world. 

An instant connection sparks between them, but their fragile alliance is threatened by the brewing war on Ellowen as a fallen god puts the pieces into place for devastating attacks that will bring him to total supremacy. 

Lilae's bright flame is dimmed by a relentless curse that threatens to bend her to the will of the Shadow Elf who holds her captive and who will use every trick he has to destroy her trust in the man she needs by her side to save the world. 

Lilae and Liam were born to be strong. But, even the power of their love may not be enough to save them.

Review
PRAISE FOR RISE OF THE FLAME:
"Rise of the Flame is epic in every sense of the word! This book has everything--complex characters, a well-developed fantasy world, romance, action, and plot twists. The author certainly knows how to tell a story. I was hooked from the first page... and I guarantee you'll be too! If you enjoyed Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, you'll love this book." Kirstin Pulioff, Author of Escape of Princess Madeline
"BEST fantasy book I read this year!" - The Grammar Babe
"Her story has layers of realms and dimensions and just as many characters. She balances the story with the usual darkness wanting to destroy the light, one race wanting to wipe out the next. But, we have two characters, having had only a glimpse of each other between realms. Both intrigued and yet not quite sure what they experienced, and so we get to see how this unfolds and the tragedies and triumphs they will endure before they find one another. I am a dragon girl and when the dragon first appeared I was like YES!" -Denice Garrou, Author of the Dragonhorse Saga 
"Author K. N. Lee is skilled with the use of what makes fiction come alive for a reader: heroic characters who courageously face harrowing challenges, such as protagonists Lilae and Liam, formidable villains like Wexcyn and Dragnar, dialogue which flows as credibly as any given conversation in daily life, and, of course, enough compelling action sequences to keep the pages turning far into the wee hours of another morning's dawn."Michael Holman. Author of Resolve and Retribution
"This is my first book by this author and I couldn't put it down. It was a thrill ride with interesting characters and a great storyline. I definitely recommend reading this."- Rants and Raves with Yvonne
