Jack of Hearts by Ricardo Bare

Jack of Hearts by Ricardo Bare

The book starts with the main character Jack, Jack is a boy with a horrible past. He willingly gave up his heart due to the guilt he felt; the person who now has his heart sends him on a quest to kill a wizard. Jack has no idea who the wizard is, but what this person says goes. 

This book is full of twists and turns as well as a bit of romance. Jack feels confused when he has access to all of the feelings he thought he would lose due since he had no heart. Why does Jack give up his heart? Some things are painful to remember and Jack is trying his best to not remember or feel anything. As Jack faces dwarfs, giants, and being locked up he finds himself liking a girl who is imprisoned in a magic mirror. I really enjoyed this book because it was well written,  I loved the emotions it made me feel, and all the characters. I can’t wait to read the next one. 

Emaline's Gift by Brad Francis

Emaline's Gift by Brad Francis

Emaline’s gift is a Christian YA book that I really enjoyed. The book taught me that no matter how much you sin you can always be accepted by God. Sometimes we can’t see the wonderful gifts that God gives us, and when we do it is wonderful. The book really helped me understand that we do make mistakes however the Lord is willing to forgive us and bring us back on the good side. Even though someone may seem really bad you just need to be there for them. Get them to understand that God is there no matter what. I’m getting off track aren’t I? On with the review!

This book was amazing I definitely want to re-read it, my favorite character has to be Anthony. He was sweet, and really cared for Emaline. I don’t know why but the story reminded me of how sometimes I do things against the rules and end up building a wall between me and Christ, it hurts that I do. Anthony did something similar after a while he confessed it was nice to know that even after all that God still loved him, it gives me hope that he will still love me no matter what.

I encourage you to read this book it helps open your mind to things you haven’t thought of before and while some things aren’t true (having powers) it’s still nice to read about Christ and the things he does for us.

Deep River High Series: Perfect Forgiveness by Shaina Cilimberg

Perfect Forgiveness by Shaina Cilimberg

This Christian book follows a boy named Kirk who has been bullied and abused since he was a kid. Bullying is a tough subject and it affects a lot of teens, even those who are Christians. In Kirk’s case, his teachers don’t do anything to help him. In the story, he struggles trying to decide who his real friends are. When some of these friends begin talking about a plan to get revenge on the bullies and on the teachers that ignore the problem, Kirk begins to believe they will actually do something horrible. Kirk wants to back out but these ‘friends’ threaten him. Does God want him to do this? How should he deal with bullies? Is violence the right answer?

Another book by Shaina Cilimberg that takes very difficult issues and real problems faced by teenagers today. I liked that the book dealt with the issue in a real way because it is a tough one, I have to say that I enjoyed reading the book, but I did not like the way it ended. I can’t explain why without giving spoilers and I don’t want to do that, but I still think it is an important story to tell. Like the other book in the Deep River High Series, you might want to have your parents read it first or with you as this is one book that will force you to ask serious questions about bullying, revenge and what God has to say on the subject.

Deep River High Series: Crowded

Crowded by Shaina Cilimberg

Cole used to be a player, trying to stay faithful to his girlfriend, Emily, but for some reason ended up sexting another girl. Josh is a person with a past; he is struggling to be a good Christian but he is slowly losing his mind to the guilt he feels for a decision he made with his last girlfriend. Then he meets Emily. She is upset at the betrayal she feels with her boyfriend Cole and helps Josh deal with his guilt in a very real way and ends up falling for him. This book deals with very real issues that face today’s teenagers and it does so from a Christian point of view.

That’s a tough thing to do for a Christian book to deal with issues like sexting, sex, and abortion. This is a great book for a teen to read with their parents and discuss these real life issues without kid gloves on. A lot of Christian books would gloss over the guilt, the sins of these teens, Crowded deals with it in a real way.  

Glass Heart By C.J. Sellers

Glass Heart By  C.J. Sellers

This short story was about the last person on Earth. The story begins with an unnamed, genderless, fifteen year old person who is the last person on earth. This person remembers their kind mother and their brother before the plague took their lives. The survivor sets out to hopefully find a cure and to help the scientists. Only for a shock to come when he does. I found I liked the person although I pitied them because they were the last one left, I really did enjoy the story and hope the author will write more! This is a great story for those who enjoy horror books.
