The village of Elta is under the rule of the White Citadel. The villagers must do what they're told or face the serious consequences of their actions, including who they worship. They are forbidden to use magic unless they have permission from the overseer, there are however certain people in the village that are gifted with magic and still believe in the old ways.
I found I liked this book from the start the opening chapter 1 is supposed to ease you in and let you get settled, but I found that straight away it was pulling me in and I wanted to find out more about the characters and the village itself. There are so many avenues this book could go! The way it's finished could leave it open for a series, it's one I would continue to read if the author were to go down that route.
I like the support that the villagers give each other in the hard times they suffer.
It's a book I recommend

Jory and her friends are a company called the Badlands Paranormal Society. She receives a frantic call from a woman about her missing husband and there is a mention of Bigfoot! Jory takes on the job to go searching for both the husband and to see if Bigfoot is responsible for the peculiar goings-on on the property involved. Will the Badlands paranormal society teamed with Jory's grandfather be able to discover the source of the mysterious happenings or is it just a wild goose chase?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book I didn't realise it was part of a series and I will be reading the other stories involved.
It's a very insightful plot with a lot of interesting things that the Ojibwe follow and believe in. I don't want to say too much and give away the story as it is much more fun to go on the journey first-hand.
Christy is very captivating with his writing and leaves you wanting more, I wasn't ready for the book to finish I turned the page over and was disappointed that there was no more to read!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
A recommendation from me.

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, just like the book.
I liked the tale, for the most part. Given the page count, a lot is packed in, but thought so much more could have been made of Dee's parents and how they are. A longer book could have lend itself to a much deeper insight into them and what they would do to Dee.
I didn't feel much of a connection to either Dee or Sara. And I didn't think it at all explicit. Might have even enjoyed it more had it come out clean, to be honest.
But the thing that I struggled the most with was the changing point of view. There is no gap in some places. You are literally reading from Dee's point of view and the next sentence, it's Sara's, often in the same paragraph. I'm all for everyone having a say, but a clear indication of change is needed, even if it's JUST a paragraph break.
A short and sweet read, but not one that pushed any of my buttons.
3 stars, cos I did finish it.

When it's time for Philla and Deminious to move on, they must choose their successors. Their daughter will be queen and they have 3 sons to choose from whom all have good qualities and would rule well. It's a hard choice but they make it. After the wedding, they ascend to the celestial plain. All is well; they are happy. What could possibly go wrong?
This is a good story and I did enjoy it. There just seemed to be a lot going on. There were sections where it was one part of the story, then the next paragraph was with somebody and something completely different, and it took a couple of sentences to catch up with what was happening. It was a bit of a shame as it did take away from the story as the flow that should have been there wasn't.
I did enjoy the story when I was able to decipher what was what and I would recommend it. You may just need some patience.
