Michelle Bruhn liked Crystal Grant's review of To Slay a Curse:
To Slay a Curse by Rae Graham
"This book was so good! Such a beautiful story of rising above your own feelings of self-worth and trusting a higher power. I loved the main character. She was so relatable and real. A great read for those who enjoy fantasy with Christian themes "

Thanks for giving Songflight a look! If you want to try out my writing before giving the full novel a go,

A few things you can expect from Songflight:
- Introverted Main Character
- Dragons With Personality
- Unlikely Friendships
- Sweet Romantic Subplot
- Music As Magic
- Disability Representation
- Telepaths & Empaths
- Tiny Fairy Dragons (who might be scarier than the big ones)

bookshelves: adult, disability, dragons, fantasy, mental-health, shifters, urban-fantasy
Banschbach has done it again! I’m not huge into military fiction, so while I knew I'd love the characters (duh, it's C.M. Banschbach!), I wasn’t sure how I’d like the plot of this one, but dang! Kept me on the edge of my seat as plot and character arcs collided! Great stakes and fascinating world. I so loved Cieran’s arc as he struggles with the PSTD and stuffing away his grief for his former teammates, and the heartbond had me alternately laughing and melting throughout. I’m so excited to continue this series and get to know the rest of this team better! On to Faultline! ]]> Review7383723743 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:56:39 -0700 <![CDATA[Michelle added 'King of Star–Cast Skies']]> /review/show/7383723743 King of Star–Cast Skies by Kaitlyn Carter Brown Michelle gave 5 stars to King of Star–Cast Skies (Instanolde Chronicles Book 2) by Kaitlyn Carter Brown
bookshelves: read-multiple-times, arranged-marriage, brothers, disability, fantasy, found-family, mental-health, new-adult, romance
A stunning finish to this beautiful duology! Where do I start?!? I adore Razhar and so love that he is a POV character in this one. Finding out the secrets he’s been keeping had me feeling all the feels. So did El and Lystra and their finally (FINALLY) admitting and acting on their feelings. Each character’s arc is solid and so very satisfying, and I cried at least three times as the Jarkins, the curse, the secrets, and grandma’s plotting all came to a head. Do not miss this duology! ]]> Review7486941119 Sun, 13 Apr 2025 21:33:05 -0700 <![CDATA[Michelle added 'Her Fake Superhero Boyfriend']]> /review/show/7486941119 Her Fake Superhero Boyfriend by H.L.
