In the world of Christianity, the Star of Bethlehem is a miraculous sign of the fulfillment of a prophecythe birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its significance for many centuries not only amazed the believers but it also piqued scientific curiosity that many are still trying to find out if it is a momentous astronomical event or just borne out of a fictitious story.

The Star led the Magi to Jerusalem first and then to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, journeying a thousand miles to see whom they believed was the new king of Judea. Those who study this event are also baffled at the exact date when Jesus was born. And that date is important if they want to prove that the Star was a natural phenomenon seen by the Magi in the heavens.

After viewing the 2007 Stephen McEveety-produced video, The Star of Bethlehem, Ken Elchert, a retired aerospace engineer, became intrigued that he started his own investigation about one the worlds most reveled event. Using his knowledge in astronomy, history, and the Bible, he gathered a myriad of evidenceincluding details of all the important astronomical events of 3 BC and 2 BC as well as a new candidate for the date of the Nativityto support his assumption that the Christmas Star may be a natural object, a planetmay be Jupiter.

The Staran Investigative Journey in Search of the Star of Bethlehem may be the answer to the question that still hangs in the air or a further catalyst towards the truth.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.
