Christian Futuristic with Mystery is a interesting genre. Rescuing the Remnant by Tanya Sparks Belvin is Book 2 in The Resurrection Project Series. I had an opportunity to read Book 1 and was very interested in continuing to read the series.

WOW, I have to say this book captivated me from the very beginning. I was excited to see that the story picks up where Book 1 left off. The setting of the book is 2034 at Grindland Institute. The main character of the book is Ellen McCarthy. The focus of this book is the Rescuing of the Children from the Medical Lab that is wanting to do evil to the Children in the name of Science. The group of Rescuers know that God's plan is greater then their own and are carrying out his plan. The Faith Message in this book is very strong and I am grateful for the message. The author includes a Discussion Questions at the end of this book, which I absolutely LOVE. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Faith and Science! AMAZING BOOK!

Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department’s wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret.

After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. But sparks fly when Leo accuses Etta of negating the human side of the disaster in her determination to get a good story.

Will Etta go back to her socialite comforts without her story—dragging along a broken heart?

JustRead Tours Blog Tour: SunRise Reef by Irene Hannon

Sunrise Reef JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Sunrise Reef by Irene Hannon hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Sunrise Reef

Series: Hope Harbor #11

Author: Irene Hannon

Publisher: Revell

Release Date: April 1, 2025

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within

After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.

Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage.

But when Noah finds himself sucked into Bren's quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?

Christian Romance Fiction books are a genre that I love. Sunrise Reef by Irene Hannon is Book 10 in the Hope Harbor series. I read Book 10 in this series and I have been awaiting the release of this book.

WOW, there is so much too love about this book. The setting is a return to Hope Harbor, Oregon. The main characters of this book are Bren Ryan and Noah Ward. Bren feels life is good for her in Hope Harbor, the town she has grown to love. She loves her job as a Barista, loves the little place that she just moved to due to a fire at her previous rental and helping others. Noah Ward comes to town to check in on his Dad and to talk him into moving closer to Noah. Noah is a CPA and seems to be "too busy" for others. He unexpectedly meets Bren when he lets himself into his Dad's Guest Cottage. Bren is staying there and he was unaware. Noah and Bren had a rough start, but they begin to learn about each other. I really LOVE who Bren is beginning to help an 18yr old girl, Emma, with getting her life in order. Noah decides to help Emma and her 16yr old brother also. I felt that was really heartwarming as he is always too busy for others. Bren has a strong faith and it really is wonderful to see her live out her faith. The book is one of family, faith, and love. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!

Youth dystopian Christian Fiction genre is not a genre that I normally read. I have begun to enjoy this genre over the last year or so. Reunion Crossings by Terry Overton is Book 7 in the The Underground Book Readers series. I have read a few books in this series and have enjoyed this series greatly.

WOW, this book captivated me from the first chapter. The main characters in this book are Leena, Kahn, Casey, and their Book Readers. The group was very determined to make it to the FREE Land and be reunited with their family. They have a lot of challenges to make it to their destination, but they turn to God to help them. The focus on teaching the young ones about God's Word was encouraging and beautiful. I LOVE how this book is very focused on God's Word and very Biblically sound. I am sad that this is the last book in the series. It has been a fun and interesting series to read. I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone, Middle School on up to Adults! AMAZING BOOK and Series!

Terry’s background in teaching adults and children shine through her stories that often include a character with educational or learning challenges. Her Christmas series, The Oddball Ornaments, features a box of misfit ornaments who first learn the meaning of Christmas and then discover the meaning of forgiveness. In The Underground Book Readers series, one of the main characters is on the autism spectrum yet is one of the leaders of the group of teens. Book one of a new series, The Messiah Brigade, features an awkward middle school nerd who helps his school turn around a bully gang of kids. Adoption and family issues are the focus of her new book, Charlotte McMaster and the Messenger Angel.

More from Terry

This book is book seven of The Underground Book Readers series. The series was inspired by talking with librarians about the concept of book banning and how Christian books are no longer predominantly displayed in school or community libraries. The series is designed to place kids in a different world where many things we take for granted or no longer available: books, schools, churches, freedom, and even parents. The book series stresses Christian family values and weaves Scripture in with the dystopian action-adventure series.

This book is being used in homeschool classrooms and church schools. A learning guide and free worksheets will soon be available to guide parents and teachers through the series.
