    Jul 3 2026

    Series Review for The Provenance Chronicles, by Katelyn Pfeiffer.

    Book 1: City of End | Book 2: City of Truth

    Three more forthcoming!

    The Provenance Chronicles is a Christian dystopian series aimed at YA readers. It takes place more than 2,000 years in Earth's future, 1,000 years after a worldwide nuclear holocaust that forced survivors to flee underground. But the radiation didn't only strip Earth's surface bare; it created a new breed of demons whose sole purpose is to root out all humans until every last one is dead.

    Book review for Assassin in the Alehouse, by Z.S. Diamanti.

    The third installment of the Fables of Finlestia cozy fantasy series is here!

    Assassin in the Alehouse is a realistic and relatable representation of PTSD and healing.

    You don't need to read these in order, since they act as standalones in the same universe, but why would you skip a good cozy fantasy?

  • Book Review: Two in the Bush
    Jun 5 2026

    Book review for Two in the Bush, by Judith Hale Everett.

    The first book in her Branwell Chronicles, Two in the Bush is a delightful regency romance written in the style of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, and perfect for readers who feel as though they've exhausted the classics but still crave that literary experience.

    It's clean, witty, and hits all the right romantic feels. From dangerous Gothic fantasies to stubbornly resisting clear attraction, this book was a fun escape into the regency era.

  • Book Review: Son of Osivirius
    Apr 3 2026

    Book review for Son of Osivirius, by Cathryn deVries.

    Three words: giant flying cats.

    A clean dystopian romantic science fantasy action adventure, Son of Osivirius shows the clash between control and harmony on a planet where continued "upward growth and prosperity" comes at the cost of balance with nature.

  • Is it Okay for Christians to Read Harry Potter?
    Mar 6 2026

    Harry Potter has caused controversy in the Christian community for almost three decades, but why?

    This deep dive is based on my own experience as a reader and accompanied by research done by Marian A. Jacobs in On Magic & Miracles: A Theological Guide to Discerning Fictional Magic, reviewed in episode 14.

    This episode is for anyone who has worried that the Harry Potter series might lead them or their children into occult practices.
