Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows Book Two by K.H. Jones – Review by Katie Matthews

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two 2)Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows by Kimm Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Again another really enjoyable book from this author, I really enjoyed the first book so I was looking forward to seeing what the author had to offer in his second instalment and again I was transported to a fantasy land where the writing was richly and vividly detailed. This book picks up where book 1 ended so I definitely recommend they are read in order. I really enjoyed the pace of this story it was quite fast but not too fast that I got lost; my attention was kept from beginning to end. Again the character development was a huge strength for this book, they are well thought out and planned. There were some good plot twists and I liked the story didn’t really go as I thought it would – definitely kept me on my toes!
A fantastic 4 star read that I highly recommend!

Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Denial (Hero High Book 1)Denial by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I haven’t read her work before, but I enjoyed this book. At first I thought it was going to be cheesy because of the names of the city and characters. They were not very original, using names like Super Structure, Hero High, and Captain Fantastic. Despite that, I am glad I stuck out the story because I ended up loving it. Its a great start to a series that I think will be awesome. The writing style is very descriptive and you feel like you’re right there alongside the characters. It seems like The Incredibles meets XMen, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
The book follows 17 year old Friday, who has powers. She is shipped off to Hero High, which is a school for those with powers, but doubles as a reality show. They are followed by cameras, and merchandise is made to look like them and sold in the malls. These super kids are assigned a team and a mentor, have their wardrobes picked for them, the whole nine yards. Friday is trying to stay in the shadows, but keeps finding herself in the spotlight.

Read Between The Lines (Freshwater Book 1) by Belinda Williams – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Read Between The Lines (Freshwater, #1)Read Between The Lines by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read Between the Lines is one of those books that will pull you in from the beginning and take you on a wonderful ride. Kat and Matt are amazing characters that I found myself falling in love with. They are both strong characters that are faced with real-life problems that must be addressed before they can become something more than friends. Also, the secondary characters in this book are awesome, too!
Kat is successful in the media world and Matt is building his own medical career. They are both ambitious in their public lives while battling secrets in their personal lives. However, when these secrets come to light, can they worth through them or is that the end of whatever they have been building? (You’re going to have to read it to find out!)
I really enjoyed the way this author dealt with real-life issues and in a way that didn’t make light of them nor pass over them as if they aren’t a big deal. These topics are relevant in today’s world and I really enjoyed the way they were handled. This is the first book that I have read by Belinda Williams, but I know it won’t be the last.

Anger (Hero High Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Anger (Hero High, #2)Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows right where Denial (book 1) leaves off. Friday is trying to figure out what is going on and who has her back (and who doesn’t). She is under constant scrutiny because people are watching her every move. She also knows some people are probably acting for the cameras and not being honest. She doesn’t know if anyone can be trusted!
I enjoyed this book. I am not much of a superhero story reader…but I have found myself pulled into both books in this series. I want to know what’s really going on as much as the main character does! There is a lot…but it isn’t overwhelming. I will continue to read the series to get my answers!

Black Blade. By Alexander Charalambides.

When Fate Calls, Should You Answer? A modern day Excalibur story, i love old tales told in the modern day, I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like this book. The writing style was different, I loved how we saw it from each characters point of view. Hats of to Alexander on his great writing style. When on a unexpected school trip to the uk, Lance and Megan run into trouble at a museum. The big question is Will Lance rule the sword? I urge anyone to read this book, if you love magic, knights and fantasy you are in for a treat.

Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara
4 out of 5 stars

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series written by Mina Chara and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. This is a fast-paced story that takes you to a school where powered people live and train. The main character Friday seems to follow her own drum and is finding out that strange things are happening around her. The secondary characters and the main character are interesting, and I enjoyed the interactions and their quirks.

Friday’s father finds out she has powers, so he sends her to the most famous school for powered people in the world, Hero High. Now she has to live at the Super Structure, and let cameras follow her round every day. She never knew how many expectations they had for powered people. Does she fit in? Dos she wants to be a superhero. Can she live with the cameras following her daily?
You will need to read this story to find out.

Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Jonell Collins

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started reading Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides, I was a bit put off with the short clipped dialogue of our hero and heroine. But as I continued to read, I realized how normal that was. That is exactly how a great many of us speak and communicate. It was worth sticking with it because as you progress through the story the other characters in the story have dialogue that is a thing of beauty. I love language and how it flows together, and this author brings it to the fore. The characters are very unique, well described and memorable. The world he builds is diverse and you can almost smell it. There is plenty of action, twists and turns and quite unpredictable. Then, of course, there is always the story within the story. Just a little head up here the story goes at a nice little pace until you near the end. It’s a page turning roller coaster after that. Be prepared.

Age of Secrets: Druid’s Brooch Series: #8 by Christy Nicholas, is a delightful book. Reading this book was pure enjoyment. It’s a slowed motion kind of book and you really get to know Fingin. It’s like he becomes a really good friend because you know about his past and you know how he’s living now. The story develops at a slow pace so that you become familiar with all the other characters and their places of importance in Fingin’s life. A story so well-written you feel like you’re right there with him on his journey. Through his quest he finds purpose in life and I especially like this quote from the book…”Friends who make one forget self-loathing are treasures beyond that of gold or silver.” If you need a breath of fresh air this is a book you’re really going to love…

The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie was such a delightful story. I loved this book. This book had me sucked in at the very first few pages. And then it was just a terrific read all the way through. It was exciting, it was adventurous, it was action packed. Go with Rune on this amazing adventure and discover who this mysterious man, St. Benedict is. What is his place in this story. It’s a well written story, it has wonderful characters, and the world that Maggie has built is easily visualized. Plenty of twists and turns here. It’s just a romping good story. If you like fantasy with a little mystery mixed in, you will really like this book. It’s left a little bit open ended which makes me think we will be seeing more of Rune and St. Benedict and I can’t wait.

License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Angela Hayes

License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

License to Bite is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. It is a superb Paranormal Romantic Comedy, and definitely sets this series off to a fun start. I have read all Ms. Pulkinen’s books now and have loved them all. This book is a little less spicy and intense than some of her other work, as this has a cuter, sweeter, fun, and humorous look at the New Orleans paranormal world. That’s not to say that there wasn’t any excitement or some dramatic moments that added a little extra ‘zing’ to the story- because there was. Just the overall storyline felt a lot more light-hearted than her other books.
As I said, this is a paranormal romantic comedy- with vampires, witches, magic, vampire politics, and other supernatural elements- all set in mystical New Orleans.
Jane is a travel blogger who has come to New Orleans for her latest article. But things get a little complicated when she wakes up in an attic, a newly turned vampire- after a “selfie” moment goes horribly wrong.
Ethan is a broody, tortured soul- a vampire who has lost his ‘zest’ for ‘life’. When he sees Jane, he is convinced she is his lost fiancée, now reincarnated. He turns her, and soon discovers that there is no way Jane is the person he thought she was. She’s feisty, loud, and oh so frustrating.
But according to the vampire law, Ethan must help her learn to be a vampire. Teaching her their ways and helping her gain her ‘License to Bite”. Without it, she will be staked. They have three weeks to get her into shape. One small problem- Jane faints at the sight of blood- and blood is the very thing that vampires need to survive. MMMM, what will she do?
This is a quick and easy read full of humorous quips, banter, and antics. The romance is sweet, with just enough excitement to keep things interesting. I am definitely looking forward to book two- “Shift Happens”, which is Sophie’s story (Jane’s best friend).

Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

Black Blade is the first book I have read by Alexander Charalambides. This book brings the story of Excalibur to modern times. Although this book started out slow for me, it really came on strong a couple of chapters in. It is full of action and adventure, and the characters really grew as the story progressed. Lance and Megan, American teenagers, take a special trip for college to the UK to tour a museum, and that is where the story begins. I really like that the story is told in multiple POV. You really learn what each of the characters are thinking that way. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by Alexander Charalambides.

Anger (Hero High Book w) by Mina Chara picks up where the first book left off. It is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story where a lot happens as the students learn more about themselves and what they can do and adjusting to life as a hero and being in a television reality show. Friday seems to always find herself in situations not of her making and getting herself out of them, but she is also drawn to finding out just what is going on and who is involved. If you love adventure heroes, a little mystery and an evil Dr D then this series is an intriguing read.

Endless Night (Dylan Hart Book 2) by RM Gilmore is a fast-paced paranormal mystery and better than the first. This book sees Dylan once again the centre of attention as it appears, she has been set upon by magic older than time and the reason why is unsure but this sassy loudmouth cannot keep her anger under control once her goat is up. This thrilling read is set in NOLA and is ripe with vampires and voodoo, mystery and danger, drama and suspense. My only complaint is that RM always leaves me hanging when the going gets good so now I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

This is the story for Kally and Max, both characters were so well built, I felt like their friend :). Everyone in this book has their time to show personality and I couldn’t put it down. Kally is a pastry chef who wants nothing more in life than her dog Emma and her cafe. Max is a police man who just wants to start over in his hometown.
Will these two learn that they need each other, or ruin it with their pasts blocking their future? Read to find out what happens, I promise you won’t be disappointed. If I could give 10 stars this would have gotten them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by TK Lawyer, I knew I wanted to read it as soon as I saw there was a witch involved. I’m a sucker for a witch, and I’m not ashamed about it. This romantic book had me from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down. Eva is by far one of my favorite characters and was wonderfully developed. Kingsley had me wishing I was more of a dog person, (haha) and I love how these two interact. Absolutely a must read for my paranormal readers out there and even those that don’t read this genre much. I can’t wait to read the next book and see where TK Lawyer goes with it. Will it be more Eva and Kingsley or other fantastic characters in this book? I’ll be ready!
