The Final Hour by Andrew Klaven

Hey guys (again)- I got ANOTHER new book from booksneeze (don't worry, I didn't cheat the system. This was one of those "special" book things that I got extra:)) So, anyway, I got a new book called "The Final Hour" by Andrew Klaven. It's the fourth in the series, but even if you haven't read the series, it's still a fantastic read (Although, secretly, for me it made more sense if you read the preceding books first and then get to this one. But that's just me, probably.) But, anyway, before I REALLY get started, I should say that I got this book for free from the booksneeze program, and whatever I say about this book is my honest opinion. Anywho, so, "The Final Hour" is a pretty exciting book (if you couldn't already tell from the title). The book is about this boy who goes to bed a normal kid and wakes up a wanted criminal. He's being chased by terrorists and keeps having vision/ memory things that tell him a new terrorist attack is gonna happen before too long. He needs to help prevent this, but he's stuck. Will he be able to save the people from the evil terrorist attack? I'm not going to say. You'll just have to read the book:P

A Reluctant Queen by Joan Wolf

I’ve gotten a new book from booksneeze, and it’s a good one. J Before I get started, however,  I need to say that because of some law thing, I’m under no obligation to give this book a good review and that I received this book for free from the booksneeze program offered by thomas nelson. Okay, now that that’s done, let me tell you about this book. “A Reluctant Queen: The Love Story of Esther” by Joan Wolf is a- you guessed it- retelling of the biblical account of Esther. I’ve always loved the story of Esther in the Bible- parts made me sad, satisfied, and at points I felt slightly guilty for giggling at the circumstances (Like Haman hanging on his own gallows. Now who can say ironic?) But at its core, I believe Esther is a story of one young girl’s obedience to God and in turn causing a great chain of events to occur that would forever shape a nation, a people, and an empire. Now this book, in my own opinoin, focused more on the romantic part. Or maybe, quite honestly, it was just me. But all in all, I would say that this was a good book. Four out of five starsJ
