Cast the First Stone by David James Warren Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've mentioned quite a few times on my blog just how much I adore time travel books. However, there aren't a lot of time travel books within the Christian fiction genre. Anytime I discover a new one, I'm always excited to dive right in. When I found out that Susan May Warren was writing a time travel police detective novel under a pen name with two other authors, I was instantly intrigued. I couldn't wait to give it a try, and I was thankful there was a copy within the provincial library that I could request. I'm going to preface this one by saying it ended up not being at all what I was expecting, and you can keep reading down below for my full review to find out why that was.

Nine by Rachelle Dekker Review

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Are you someone who enjoys scary stories? I kind of go back and forth on this depending on my reading mood. Somedays I really enjoy them. Somedays I'm not really in the mood for picking one up. For the last few months, I'd had a very interesting sounding Christian thriller on my tbr, and I finally decided to pick it up and give it a go. Keep reading below for my full review, and to find out what I ended up thinking about it. Nine by Rachelle Dekker: Source: Library Publisher: Revell Publication Date: September 1st, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Suspense/Thriller Synopsis: Zoe Johnson spent most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself, never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes. Now, agains...

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

  Good Morning Bookish Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've mentioned quite a few times on my blog in the last couple of years that I don't read too much secular fiction anymore. Young Adult Fiction used to be my absolute favorite, but over the last while I've grown really disheartened with the amount of unnecessary content being included in so many of the titles. However, every once in a while I'll find a title that intrigues me, and decide to give it a go. Usually, however, I end up getting these titles from either the library or the online library app, as that was if the book isn't what I'm expecting, I don't end up having to regret spending the money on it. I'd heard a lot lately about Jennifer Lynn Barnes' The Inheritance Games. It sounded unlike anything I'd ever read before, and honestly, I'd heard quite a few other Ch...

Stalking Jack The Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco Review WITH SPOILERS

Good Evening Everyone :) Do you ever have the situation where you feel an over hyped book isn't going to be your type of thing, but then you have it recommended to you by so many people, including a bunch who have similar reading tastes to yourself, that you go ahead and read it anyways? Well, that's what happened to me recently when I decided to pick up Stalking Jack The Ripper.  I didn't really think I'd enjoy it, as forensic science is not my cup of tea, but I had so many people recommend it to me that were saying they didn't expect to like it either, but it ended up blowing them away. I honestly didn't even have it on my October TBR list, but I just had an urge to give it a try, so I picked it up from the library, and decided to give it an honest try and see what I thought about it. Unfortunately, I didn't really end up enjoying it, but it actually wasn't for the reasons I'd expected going into it. Stalking Jack The Ripper by Kerri Manisc...

September 2018 Wrap Up!

Good Morning Guys! I can' honestly say that September was one of the best reading months I've had in a very long time. I finished so.many.books! Now I will say this was mainly because I ended up sick with a nasty cold for a few days, and didn't do much besides read, but still. I ended up reading some really amazing books, and only had a few duds this month which is always a bonus. Plus I ended up crossing off every single book I had on my original TBR, and read quite a few additional ones besides.  As this is going to be a loooong post today, I'll be keeping my thoughts on each of the books fairly brief. The books will be listed in the order of the ones I finished first to last. Stealing The Preacher by Karen Witemeyer: This was such a great choice for my first book of the month. I loved Crockett and Joanna, and the strange circumstances by which they first come into each other's company. Five out of five stars! It Had To Be You by Susan May Wa...

Dead Drift by Dani Pettrey Review

Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was kind of crazy as I ended up working extra hours because of being short staffed and whatnot, but it was still okay. Thankfully before all the craziness of the weekend happened, my hubby and I were able to go to the beach for the day, and I had such a pleasant time sitting and reading in the sun. I finished Dani Pettrey's Dead Drift while at the beach that day, and I couldn't wait to share what I thought about it with all of you guys. Dead Drift by Dani Pettrey: Source: Publisher (Bethany House) Via NetGalley Publisher: Bethany House Publication Date: July 3rd, 2018 Genre: Inspirational Fiction/Inspirational Suspense Series: Chesapeake Valor Synopsis: Private Investigator Kate Maxwell never stopped loving Luke Gallagher after he disappeared.
