Hello friends- Welcome to my Goodreads Story World. I hope you’ll have a stroll around at all the sweet, inspirational stories on my shelves. One never knows what new adventure awaits them around the next corner.
I am the author of over 35 books in various genres: fantasy, romance, children’s & non-fiction. I write as Jackie Castle & J.R. Castle.
I love exploring my story worlds and, even more, I love God. We’ve had such an interesting journey and there is still so much ahead. I’m always looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary and believe this life is full of unlimited possibilities.
I love to interact with readers! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter and check out my blog page. You can find out more about my shenanigans over at: www.jackiecastle.com. While you're snooping around, take a moment to sign up for my monthly newsletter. =)
This series just keeps getting better and better! Like Luminosity this book starts at a “slower” pace then really ramps up once you hit the halfway point and didn’t let up until the end, and boy was that an ending! I think my jaw was on the floor throughout this book in more ways then one!
These poor characters go through so so much and fall down again and again, but they get back up each time even when it seems hard or hopeless and keep going despite the odds and hardships—they are all so inspiring and relatable and I can’t help but love each and every one of them, even when they’re being difficult or stubborn and I just want to shake them, lol.
We finally got Tarek’s POV, which I wasn’t sure we’d get since Alyra still doesn’t remember much and he knows a lot about her missing memories, so I figured we’d be left in the dark a bit longer but nope! He actually revealed a lot that I didn’t think we’d get until at least the next book and I was honestly shocked! I was like, “okay, wow, this is really happening!” and it was honestly refreshing in a way because this series isn’t following the regular “script” of a Christian fantasy and I am SOOOO here for it! It certainly has kept me on my toes of what will happen next and I love it!
The way it ends has me eager to dive into the next book, and while I’m kicking myself for waiting soooo long to continue this series with how much I’m loving it, I’m also thankful I’m reading it for the first time now as this is truly a series the Lord wants me to read at this moment in my life right now and I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for how much it’s helping me AND for how much these characters and this story are growing to mean to me. I love it and can’t wait to continue!

I am completely enamored with this series! I don't like giving spoilers so I will say I knew it! And serious that really happened?! Our committed little "ally" Aly has set her course to follow the will of the King and receives the reward of her hearts desire. A truly excellent read!
Book three in the "White Road Chronicles", "Emanate" is my favorite so far. I loved it. Great Christian fantasy, an allegory actually. Good storyline, characters are well rounded, several types of creatures and "beasts" are found in this story of the battle between good and evil and how even the seemingly most messed up person can make a difference. I give it five stars. No swearing or sexual content. The main character is a teenager, but most others are adults. There is violence and fighting, though nothing really graphic. I can recommend for teens and up. Though it has a Christian message and a story that follows the spirit of Christianity, it never mentions the familiar terms we use for God or Jesus. I think non-Christian fantasy readers would also love the book, just not see the true story.
This third book in the series is really a continuation of the second. Like that one, the story is engaging, the characters are interesting, and the book is forward-moving. The allegorical parallels continue to be well done -- integral to the story and not preachy. For storytelling alone, I would give the book 4 stars. However, like the first two books, the editing is awful to the point of frustration. In some places, it's even difficult to decipher the message.
This was the third book in the series and I couldn't wait to finish book two. Now that I've finished it I Am on to the next book in the series! Can't give it away but it has me in its grip and won't let. Go !!!!!,
