And when faced with confrontation, it can lead to situations that create dysfunction within our minds. The Mental Fight of Your Life is a self-help guidebook by Freddie Floyd Jr. that shows you the ways habitual patterns can be disrespectful in relationships and how you can replace them with responsible and mutually satisfying ways of relating.

In Search of Rohan Chang is a work of fiction in the Christian sci-fi and fantasy, adventure, and cross-cultural writing subgenres. It is intended for the young adult reading audience but can be enjoyed by adult readers and mature middle-grade readers too. Penned by author Lincoln Lee, this immersive and accomplished work follows an Asian-American teenager, the titular Rohan Chang, as a series of mysterious murders sends his world into disarray. Rohan begins to hear mysterious voices in his head, a serial killer stalks New York, and high school sweetheart drama rears its head at the most inopportune times in this incredibly magical and spiritual tale of self-discovery.
Author Lincoln Lee has penned an incredible work of young adult fiction that will quickly become a favorite read for so many young people and also adults that appreciate accomplished adventure works with plenty of depth and poignant themes. One of the major highlights of the work for me was the exploration of the immigrant experience and the clashing and melding of cultures that Rohan experiences as an Asian-American. This is penned in an emotive and natural way that makes the experience so accessible to readers and would be a fantastic talking point in any classroom or youth group. Beyond this, the mystery, suspense, and crime elements of the tale blend seamlessly into the magical realism and fantasy plotlines, giving an immersive and entertaining reading experience grounded in a core emotional concept. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend In Search of Rohan Chang to any reader anywhere, as it offers so much to so many different audiences.

She thinks she knows who she is, but situations present themselves that enable her to look deeper within to find what she's really about and what's important to her. She is sixteen and deeply humiliated at school, faced with challenging peer pressure, so she runs to an aunt who lives on an island in South Carolina and plans to stay for the summer. This chance at a new future leads to friendship and romance. A string of thefts presents thrills, but she is blindsided by a terrible incident that leaves her realizing what's most important in life.

When you die and become an angel, you don't expect there to be so much paperwork. David Garcia fell to his death at age seventeen. He spent his first ten years filing papers for dead people, boring in the extreme, until the archdemon of angels threw his uneventful afterlife into chaos. Inexperienced and frozen with terror, David could not prevent the demon Malum from escaping. Blaming himself, he joins a group of demon hunters intent on recapturing Malum before he destroys the world. Armed with ten years of receptionist training, mediocre fighting skills, and non-stop self-deprecating sarcasm, David soon learns he is in way over his head.
Following the brilliant success of her first books in The Aurella Trilogy, Anni Sezate hits the ground running with book one of her new Afterlife Trilogy — I Fail at the Afterlife. Weaving intrigue, world-building, and fast-paced action with humor and a sense of realism through her first-person narratives, Ms. Sezate shows a firm grasp of what it's like being a teenager thrown into serious adult life and "death-like" situations. The first-person narrative is hard to write; trust me. Sezate, however, writes it with ease and a style that demonstrates her talent to the fullest. Another hurdle for many authors writing in the YA genre is actually getting into the heads of the younger characters and here again, the maturity of her writing skills shines through.

Young Adult - Religious Theme
Reviewed by Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite
Branded by Joseph T. Humphrey is a fantasy novel revolving around a high-schooler named Henry Murphy, whose seventeen years of life turn out to be far less normal than they seem. The book begins with a prologue of baby Henry being rushed with his parents into another dimension. The fear is palpable, and they are definitely being chased. The book then moves to Henry as a teen, working for a baseball scholarship and being encouraged by his friend Charlotte. As the truth begins to unfold, Henry, Charley, Dawn, and Thom, who slowly remember the force they fled another realm from, are confronted with an actual battle between the darkness of the Nekura and the safe protection of The Light.
It is extremely rare for me to be at a loss for words, but here I am, gobsmacked and blown away by Branded. Joseph T. Humphrey is an exceptionally gifted storyteller and, paired with a plot and characters he's turned from ink into flesh, this series is a winner. I'll spare you the pun connecting that last sentence to an inkblot but, trust me, you will want to know when you get to chapter 161. There is tension on every single page. There is intrigue, fear, conspiracy, gremlins, war, mashed potatoes in safe houses, and school receptionists with beehive hair. I was most impressed with the personalities given to even the most ancillary characters, and the running dialogue feels organic. As a reader, it takes a great deal of trust to embark on a new fantasy series. Branded is well worth your trust and pays out fantastically. I am so excited to see the direction we are hurtled into next.

Cody Musket Jr. missed his secret contact when he takes a chance to save an infant that was thrown away like trash. The plane he is on is hijacked remotely and then crashes into the ocean. Diamond Casper is a selfish actress that has much to learn about herself when she wakes up on a beach after the crash. Cody's calm demeanor and faith in God throws Diamond as he has to take charge of the few survivors. Why would the island they find themselves on have armed guards? Who is the angel that is supplying them with food? Why is a shipload of children being dropped off at the island?
James Nathaniel Miller II writes with a purpose and passion. Land Without Shame shows through training, faith, and drive a man can make a difference in the lives of others. Cody brings out the best in others while helping them to accept themselves. His integrity and honor credit the way a Christian man should act. Diamond's new views in life when people were no longer fawning over her were humorous. I loved the fullness of the characters as the story unfolds into unseen adventures. Overall, I found this novel very well written. It has a serious message about child slavery but skillfully laced through the story.

Forbidden is the fourth book in the Forlorn Series by Gina Detwiler. Following the events in Forgiven, the Watchers have been freed as the Abyss has been opened. Jared’s Watcher father, Azazel, is among the fugitives from the Abyss and is now bent on making Earth fall under his control. Jared Lorn and Grace Fortune are also among those who have escaped, but they want nothing to do with the sinister schemes of the Watchers. They find themselves facing dark forces as they try to get to the spiritual realm of the Other Side. They will have to join forces with the remaining few known as the Forbidden, who are trying to prevent the spread of evil. And Grace has the gift of Song that will be useful against the Watchers.
Forbidden is a colorful eschatological fable that draws its storyline from Judeo-Christian elements. Its elaborate plot that involves warring angels has a clear premise, and it’s easy to understand what drives them to take sides. As angels are currently proliferating in popular culture, Gina Detwiler skillfully wraps up her tale with a powerful message of faith and hope. The shifting narrative between Grace and Jared gives you a wider view of the plot as you are provided with two perspectives. This may strike you as high fantasy, but the fact that this plot equally proliferates with human characters makes it an attention-grabbing story that puts the fate of mankind at the center of it all. Lovers of Christian fantasy will enjoy this powerful adventure, and you will eagerly await the next installment.

A Christian fantasy science-fiction novel that delves into the riddles of life and death, The Gatekeeper’s Descendants by Johanna Frank is bold and imaginative. Pipiera arrived in the form of a curious young teenager and is still reluctant to enter the gate to the kingdom. This catches the attention of Megalos, the head gatekeeper. Megalos needs a favor as he is all worked up by a situation that requires intervention for a boy named Matthew. Pipiera accepts the task to help Matthew get his life back on track. Interventions are not her thing, and Matthew will not realize what is happening at the beginning. Things will not turn out the way Pipiera intended them to be. Matthew's life will seem to go from bad to worse. Will Pipiera still go the extra lengths to save a fledgling earth-dwelling boy, and will he ever get any assistance from Megalos?
The Gatekeeper’s Descendants will take you to the emotional brink, and it is moving enough to push you over. It ends on a convincing and happy note, but not in a formulaic resolution. Johanna Frank decodes an enticing allegory about the human soul and how good and evil battle to have custody. What happens to Pipiera and Matthew in the story is like nothing you have ever read before. It provides a reflective moment on the mysteries of death and how we fit into the grand scheme of things. I finished reading sensing something that I cannot explain, but I appreciate it. I recommend you to read it because this is a story that has something to impart to even the most cynical among us.
