Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Cindy Rushin

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novel. I like reading love stories especially when it involves supernatural beings and alternative love. I also loved the fact that the novel was about individuals who are not accepted by society finding acceptance and love. I think a lot of people can relate. All of us who feel we don’t fit or are not accepted in society can read this novel and find hope. No matter how much you feel that you don’t fit, there is someone out there that will accept you warts and all.

Stranded: Cetacea Chronicles Volume 1Stranded: Cetacea Chronicles Volume 1 by Feather Chelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Feather Chelle’s book Stranded was a joy to read. I love reading novels that remind us that other species have feelings and can operate together as family. Stranded told the story of a family that encountered a potential problem and they worked together to solve it and survive. As a reader I could tell that Feather Chelle feels strongly about this topic and I really loved how she took the time to explain everything that helped her readers really enjoy her book and learn at the same time. I enjoyed this book and would definitely read more from Feather Chelle.

Alterations (Alterations #1)Alterations by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book by Jane Suen. Alterations explored the possibility of individuals being able to change aspects of their bodies or minds with technology. The story gave us a glimpse of what the future could be, both the good and the bad should humans try to go down the path of playing god in the attempt to perfect the human body. Jane Suen’s novel provides both hope and caution to humans as we continue to look for easy fixes in a quest to live forever. Jane Suen is a new author for me but based on the book Alterations, I look forward to reading more from her.
