Light to my Path by Erica Vetsch Book Review

I flew through reading this book! Light to my Path by Erica Vetsch is one of my favorite authors! This book had a unique plot- Sam Mackenzie (brother of David in book one) does a favor to his aunt to watch over Ellie and the orphans she is traveling with. The children were my absolute favorite!! I think Phin has his own book or novella in one of the other books in this series. Vetsch’s plots are always well written, characters are dynamic, and the romance is super sweet and focuses on the friendship. I loved that we go to see Sam’s brother, David and Karen in this book as well. I liked Sam’s character in book one, so it was so fun to see his story!

YA Book Review Feature: The Broken Crown by Amory Cannon

My Review: This book is going on my top reads of 2026! I loved this story so much! It is part of a series, so it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, but enough was resolved by the end of this book to be satisfying! I LOVED the strong faith woven deep into the characters, who faced a lot of persecution and the challenges of their various stations, along with the risk of losing their lives and risking others by sharing their faith. The writing is beautiful and engaging, and the author builds a beautiful world with some themes similar to Esther’s story in the Bible. She dives into many questions surrounding what to do when your faith is challenged and sharing the truth with others when (the characters’) world is under heavy persecution. It’s very low fantasy with an easily grasped fantasy world, which I liked as someone who gets easily confused.

YA Book Featured Review: The Space Between Our Hearts by Hannah Stone

This is a clean YA story written by a Christian author. (Featured image from author’s website.)

I enjoyed this poignant and sweet YA story! The themes of belonging and definition of true family and friends were super touching. Also loved how the characters learn to handle life when things don’t go according to their plans- something everyone deals with, and this book shows the consequences/blessings that come from it! The characters were so deep and dynamic! I do wish that the theme of finding home and belonging was not so banked on the romantic relationship. I would have loved to see more of that sense of belonging found in the other characters just a little more! I would also have loved to see some biblical faith themes connected to the characters’ struggles. But overall, a lovely YA story that may be extremely relatable to older teens and new adults.
