That's because, today I am taking part in a cover reveal for Never Let Go by Angie Brasheer!
So, I have a guest post from Angie and at the very end I will show you the cover. Here's Angie:
Christian Fantasy: A Life-Saving Genre
Definitions of literary genres can be…well, complex. Even tricky. Attempts to define Christian
fantasy vary, though I’ve spent little time fretting over an official definition. I mean, Christian
fiction typically illustrates a Christian world view within its plot, characters, or both. And the
fantasy genre commonly uses myths and legends as a primary plot element, theme, or setting. So,
in my opinion, Christian fantasy embodies fantastical elements in an internally consistent setting
all the while reflecting aspects of the Christian world view.
But the debate (at least for some) surrounds who writes Christian fantasy. Writers who are
Christians, writers who claim to be Christians, or writers who believe Christianity is a fantasy to

wrath of drunken addicts, or the torment of abandonment.
I continued to speculate. Each time God placed believers in my path—a high school teacher,
a college friend, and a college coach—my fascination with the possibility grew stronger until
the truth stunned me like a slap to the face. God indeed lives in the form of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. He rescues. He saves. And He waited for me. Then He embraced me. It all
started with a little seed, planted in the empty heart of the girl I once was. A love for reading
expanded to a love for writing. A desire to know God became a desire to serve Him, to reach
And Never Let Go was born.
In all things, I’m grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for embracing a lost, lonely girl.
That He died for me…there is no greater gift. My prayer is that I’ll never let go of His truth.
Captured by the Rendow Clan, who seek to slaughter those with faith in the Maker, Laila

Lars guides Laila on a harrowing race across The Woodlands to Tuveil, where the Faithful are
