Courtney Ranger has loved reading for longer than she can remember. She won her first national writing competition as a first grader and has been writing ever since, although she much prefers writing fantasy and historical fiction to essays about career aspirations. When she's not preoccupied with a book of some form or another, you can find her masquerading as her alter ego at the local hospital. She has a weakness for dark chocolate and has declared liquid glue her arch-nemesis.

Book Review: Falling for the Huntsman by Leialoha Humpherys

He’s the evil queen’s huntsman. She’s the witch from Hansel and Gretel.

Blurb

Two villains. One shipwreck. A queen’s betrayal that could ruin them all.

Alaric, the infamous huntsman who once saved Princess Sereth, has built a brutal whaling empire without her crown or favor. Feared, powerful, and as untouchable as the sea, he’s the kind of man no one crosses. But when a mysterious ambush leaves h

This was such a sweet, uplifting story. I loved the themes Sienna wove throughout. The characters were SO SWEET, and those little children needed some hugs.

Quotes by Courtney Ranger  (?)

“Yes, we want Christmas to be a happy time, a celebration, even, but that’s not how it works. We don’t have Christmas for the happy times. We have Christmas—we were given Christmas—because we need Someone to wipe away our tears.”
Courtney Ranger, In Thy Tender Care

“Normally, I avoided baking like it was… well, influenza, but for Christmas cookies, I’d sacrifice”
Courtney Ranger, In Thy Tender Care

“If He could weave the tapestry of time, if He could predetermine each person’s path, He could hold her safe and fast in the storm.

Tears burned Zinnia’s eyes. In the breaking, in the pain, in the questions, He never left her.”
Madisyn Carlin, Shattered Reaction

“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“And if doing what’s right makes someone angry with me, then may I cause rage and fury wherever I go.”
Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Captive Kingdom

“The Beginning was always with her, no matter how alone she felt.”
Madisyn Carlin, Crown

“That reaction is totally uncalled for. When have I ever had a bad idea?”

“Would you prefer the list in writing or verbally?”
Madisyn Carlin, Crown
