Avengers of Light: The Curse of Asmodeus
The vivid details and realistic characters immediately drew me into the story, making it impossible to put down. Despite the frustrating family dynamic, I found myself sympathizing with the siblings Elsha, Micah, Emma, Killian and Galahad due to their constant disastrous situations. The main characters were diverse, entertaining, and occasionally maddening, but once I entered their world, I couldn't stop reading.
What intrigued me the most about the book was its unique concept: blending Christian themes with fantastical elements. The presence of monsters from popular lore gave it an occasional horror or supernatural feel. The dark twist on the antagonists added intensity and a touch of fear to the action sequences, setting it apart from other books of the genre, which I appreciated.
The journey of the female lead, from a timid individual to an empowered young girl, was well-paced and relatable. Her relationships with her family and other characters in the book felt genuine and resonated with me. Along the way, the twists and turns kept me guessing, wondering how the characters would escape the crazy scenarios they found themselves in. Yet, the author always provided clever solutions to these problems. With a school for children who have special abilities, plenty of action, comedy, and a family journey grounded in faith, this book has something for everyone. Once I became invested in the Dyer family, I couldn't help but stay with them till the end. I'm eagerly anticipating their next adventures.

Check out what we’re working on down below!
Christians, sisters, Marvel & DC fans and book nerds—we graduated from a local college, grew up on books and stories, now we want to write some of our own. And we want to help you craft yours. Everyone says “write the book you want to read,” and we aim to.
Create what Matters
We all know what we like and enjoy to watch or read, but most of us don’t take the time to dissect the stories we love. On this site we’ll break down some of the best classics, the common tropes, and the worst pitfalls or failed attempts to making a great story.
I look for God everywhere and for the teachings of the Bible in any and all fiction. If there’s no good moral or Christian theme to be found….then we have a story built on sand. You might not think that matters, but break down your favorite (and your not so favorite) stories, I promise you it does. So the bottom line, everyone has a story—the only difference between most people and writers is we take the chance of putting our thoughts and feelings on paper so the world can question, scrutinize, or be inspired by our journey and the way we view the world. We run the risk of having people publicly hate or love our work (which hey, words of encouragement: the greatest works of art are often also the most hated by someone so don’t let it bother you).
If you have something to say (and I know you do), then write it. I promise you, if it’s your story no one else is capable of telling it but you.
