The Return ( Destine Academy book 2)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reeling from the revelation that her father is still alive, Caroline is forced to question EVERYTHING she thought she knew about her family and her former life in this thrilling second volume of the intriguing new series Destine Academy.
Caroline Destine’s world hasn’t been the same since her 16th birthday...
As if it wasn’t enough to find her mother and brother missing without a trace, now Caroline must find her place among the magically gifted students at Destine Academy. She quickly discovers not only has her family hidden many important secrets from her, but now her mother and brother might not be the only ones in danger.
These are really quick reads but pack a punch! The author manages to get enough into the few chapters for to get the story and the drama but also leaves you wanting more! I’m really enjoying them. This starts with Caroline discovering her dad is still alive to finding her key power.

An Ember in the Ashes (Book 1)
By Sabaa Tahir
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death.
When Laia’s grandparents are brutally murdered and her brother arrested for treason by the empire, the only people she has left to turn are the rebels.
But in exchange for their help in saving her brother, they demand that Laia spy on the ruthless Commandant of Blackcliff, the Empire’s greatest military academy. Should she fail it’s more than her brother’s freedom at risk…Laia’s very life is at stake.
There, she meets Elias, the academy’s finest soldier. But Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined – and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
This was a really good read. I really enjoyed it. A fantasy with decent characters and a good plot line. I’m interested to see where it’s going.

After the initial chapter where Ivy’s brother dies and she decides to marry a much older friend of the family, time jumps forward in decades to begin with, and longer periods of time nearer the end. Ivy joins a religious order as a nun, but I think this is largely because of the unresolved feelings she has for her friend, Frances.
There is a very spiritual feel to this novel: from the first chapter and the light that Ivy sees that distracts her from her brother drowning, her religious awakening, and the light she sees at the end of her life.
This was a lovely, gentle and thoughtful novel. It was an absolute pleasure to read.

Young children can see the pictures while the parent, older brother or sister read the book. I like the fact that it easy poem and meaningful. The story has a moral and explains that God or our Lord created it. It has faith in it and explains it in the best way.
