The cover of this book is what caught my attention first, I just love it. Keeper of Reign is a delightful book for young people about Elfies (half elves, half fairies) who have shrunk in size due to a curse. Evil has come to the forest of Reign and Jules and his sibling have to find their missing parents, find the Books and free them all from the curse. This is an allegory based on the Bible. There are a few scriptures throughout, but not given as such, they are writings from the ‘Ancient Book.’ Good morals, a good storyline. I did think it was a little drawn out and obviously there is going to be a sequel. The story simply ended. I always prefer some type of cliff hanger, or some closer with each book in a sequel. But it was a good read. I recommend for ages 8-13. The characters range from sixteen to two. I give the book 3.5 stars due to the facts I mentioned above, well worth the .99 cents for the Kindle version on Amazon.

Review for “There Comes a Prophet”
I was offered this book to read for a review and I thoroughly enjoyed it. David Litwack is a new author for me, and he has written a great Dystopian book (I prefer the ones without flesh eating zombies). It wove a story of lies and truth, friendship and family. The characters are believable and likeable. The way the author portrayed articles from the “past” was interesting. I pretty much couldn’t put it down and will continue to read more by this author. I give “There Comes a Prophet” 5 stars. This book is a good read for teens on up.
