I enjoyed this historical fantasy story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well written story that has some suspense situations and twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed what the characters brought to the story. How they brought life to the story and gave it a realistic feel. It is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. The characters are creative, unique and I found them to be connectable. There is great growth of the plot which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a great story that filled my afternoon with shifter fantasy and a fast page turner.

Towne – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Grave Digger Academy year 2 is the continuation of this fun new series by C.A King. The story follows Makayla as she begins her second year at her new school, after the drama of the previous term she is hoping for a quiet year however that is not to be. The Inter Academy Games are about to start, and Makayla and her friends become reluctant participants but there is a gate crasher that is determined to change the rules. I liked this book, it is a fun concept and I really liked finding out more about the other characters such as Frankie and Makayla’s brothers, you also learn a little more about some of the other academies which was a good way of expanding this new magical world. I just wish this book had been longer, I got so engrossed in it, I wasn’t prepared for it to end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

This is a cute story about the true feelings of a hurt kid. I loved how honest it was. To know where we come from, and to know where we are is one of the best things in order to keep going. Great story!

This was an interesting and enjoyable novel. I like the combination of fantasy elements with real-life historical characters. It was easy to follow even though it involves time travel to Elizabethan England. I am familiar with Christopher Marlowe, but mostly in name so I find it interesting to know him from this aspect.. The descriptions were clear and the elements of danger at every turn were realistic. I do wish I had read the other three books (not realizing this was book 4) as I feel it would more fully explain the relationship between characters and their backgrounds in general, but the summaries provided throughout the story are enough to keep me hooked to this one!

Towne – Review by Jana Lewis
This was a really interesting read. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the whole time travel element to the story made it really unique. I didn’t realise this book was part of a series but I will definately be going back to read them from the beginning. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone and is still really enjoyable.
There is lots of intrigue and mystery in this story and it is definately a story that keeps you gripped and guessing what will happen. I love the attention the author made to the relationship between the characters and how being from different times has effect on the relationships.
The playwright Christopher Marlowe is set on the path to meet his end surrounded by criminals and spies. However that doesn’t happen and because of that it changes the course and flow of time. Now it’s down to his love Tam, who lives in the present day to figure out what went wrong. Now begins the adventure of Tam travelling back to 1593, to rescue Tam and help him escape, however even with facing all the odds and a shifter who will play a part in Christopher’s death, Tam has a difficult choice to make. Does she succeed in helping Christopher to escape his path and demise to save the man she loves ag the risk of changing the future. Her present life? Or does she allow the course of time to run as it should, taking away the man she loves but saving everyone and her life in the future. This story is really good and really gripping. The mix of time travel, mystery, Romance and paranormal was an amazing combination that makes this story a must read.

Towne – Review by Kerry Carr
When Tam Paradiso learns that the man she loves, Christopher Marlowe, has been sentenced to death she decides to risk everything to save him. There are only a few snags in her plan which she must work around to save him. The first hurdle is that Tam is in present day Philadelphia and Christopher is back in the year 1593. Not only must Tam time travel back to 1593 but she must find a way to rescue Christopher from the White Tower after he has been wrongly imprisoned there. It seems that Christopher has gotten himself wrapped up in the middle of a political conspiracy and the result has been his conviction of a crime he did not commit. His impending death has completely altered the timeline of the future, so it is imperative that he be rescued, and the timeline be corrected.
Tam is a strong woman who is used to fighting her own battles, but this time has no choice but to take someone with her to help. Tam has recently learned that she is pregnant which complicates time travel and risks the life of her unborn child. With few choices on who she can ask to help, Tam is forced to choose her ex-boyfriend Theo, a banished Fae warrior. Will Tam and Theo be able to save Christopher and correct the timeline of the future?
The author did a great job with the dual timelines in this book, and I felt as though I was there in 1593 with the characters experiencing the conditions as they were in that time. I could smell and almost taste the foods they ate. I could hear the sounds of the busy streets and see the decrepit conditions many lived in. Each scene was so vividly described that I felt as though I was right there in that time experiencing everything that Tam, Theo, and Christopher were doing. I loved the character of Tam and admired the lengths that she would go to so that she could save the man she loved. Even if that involved enlisting the help of an ex-lover that she wanted nothing to do with. Theo was also to be admired for stepping up to help his ex-girlfriend save her new lover. Christopher was someone that you could not help but feel bad for after being imprisoned in such horrific conditions. I highly recommend this book!

I didn’t expect to love the second book just as much as I loved the first! Following Makayla and her friends as they navigate through second year kept me glued to each page. I loved the plot and how it all played out. I look forward to picking up the next book!

King – Review by Kassandra
When I saw the title, I was drawn to this book- mainly for the reason that the nearby town near me is also Deptford. Silly as this sounds, immediately realizing this book is the fourth in a series by E L Towne, I read the synopsis and decided to give it a go. Christopher Marlowe, a playwright awaits his fate in 1593. Can his love, Tam Paradiso rescue him in time? Oh, by the way she lives in current day Philadelphia. This story was captivating from beginning to end. I’m glad I stumbled upon this book, because like I said this is fourth in a series, but it read well as a stand-alone book. The characters come alive on the pages and I felt as if I was transported through time with them on their journey. I would recommend reading this book!

Towne – Review by Diane Sennett
What a fantastic historical fantasy adventure! River Witch was captivating, intriguing and full of incredibly written content. The characters were enchanting and the overall plot was incredible.
Who could not relate to characters living in one manner but yearning for something more meaningful. It’s a coming of age type scenario that plays out beautifully throughout this book.
The author describes the forest, river, vivid dreams and characters, Hester & Aaron so well that you feel like you are truly inside of the story surrounded by their lives. I was highly impressed.
I believe most readers will thoroughly enjoy this read thanks to the author’s extraordinary gift. I can’t wait to see what else the author creates.
This is the 2nd book in a series which I’m truly loving right now. I jumped into this right after reading the first book in the series and I can say that I enjoyed this just as much, if not even more than the first one. Set around 4 best friends who are all in authority positions in the Freemasons in Australia, each book can be read as a standalone. But, as I loved the first book I would recommend you read them all and in order so you don’t give yourself spoilers. In this book we get the story of Dominic Cacciari, the top dog in the lodge, The Right Worshipful Master and Gemma Hughes, entertainment journalist. We are given a brief interlude to Dominic and Gemma in the first book which made me really eager to read their story and it certainly lived up to my expectations and more. Dominic and Gemma’s story is an enemies-to-lovers story that is full of drama, intrigue and secrets. Lots of secrets. Will they both be willing to give up their secrets in order to make a life together? This is a great book which I definitely recommend.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Huntress is a great book. Either it was a fast paced book or I was reading fast. I didn’t want this to end. The author sure knows how to keep a reader happy. This book has a bit of everything that you would normally need a couple books for.
Dior is the nickname of someone who is going to get revenge on the Wolves. Not a smart move, but she’s doing it for her family. For the brother she never got to meet. For the uncle that was killed. She doesn’t need a knife or gun to get her revenge. Writing is her weapon and she’s going to make them pay. The quote I chose for Dior is: “Nah, I don’t feel good singing with anyone else. It’s not the same; I miss Todd and the others.”
I like finding new authors. This is the first book by this author I have read and although not my usual genre I was not let down. It is a book for mature audiences so be warned. I found that the author had created a very unique world and really brought the characters to life. I really felt as though I was right in the midst of the drama.
I did find some of the subject matter a little hard to read but I give credit where credit is due as even with the subject matter it was not off putting. I am more than willing to read more from this author as well as the series. I just also want to just remind every one once again that it is a mature audience book.

A great addition to the previous 3 books. A keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end book, complete with romance, time travel and lots of suspense. The characters are well written, and you feel as if you are a part of the story from beginning to end. At times I felt as if I was Tam and I was the one trying to rescue Marlowe. A must read!

This book certainly had the wow factor going strong. The book mesmerized me as I read, and I could not put it down. I was intrigued all the way through. The book gave so much! Amazing read!
I loved the take on the story that this book held. I always loved contents of magic and witches. The issue with the witches in the book, was very intriguing and something I have never had the pleasure to read on. The author wrote and created good and strong characters, that were all different, but greatly added to the story I was intrigued and held with my own suspense all the way through! Loved it!
Great and amazing read. It was different, which made it more awesome. I was pulled in and kept in suspense as I read! Greatly enjoyed it! Highly recommend this author and book without a doubt!

I’ve really enjoyed the Antipodes series and the author has maintained the high standards of the entire series in this concluding finale. As with the other books, there’s plenty of sci-fi/dystopian, environmental and mythological themes, which I really enjoyed. But most of all, I was so keen to see where the characters would end up and the ending was satisfying. I’ve really enjoyed going on this journey with these characters and I will miss them. Highly recommend this whole series.

I loved this book. The time travel factor, the romances that didn’t quite work due to age factors and the drama had me on the edge of my seat. I was pulled in and engaged from page 1. Coming in at book 4 of the series, it really has you wanting to know more. The suspense, the romance, the intensity just keep you so very curious as to what is around the corner. I love the writing. The characters are all very well-written and developed. This is a terrific book. I am going to go back and start with book 1 so I can see what happened before.

What a cute and sad story! Mama Warbler ended up with a cuckoo egg in her nest. She could have kicked it out but kept it. What was one more? She just accepted it. Because she accepted the cuckoo bird, her nest was safe from the cat. Neighbor bird, however, wasn’t. She lost an egg to the cat. We shouldn’t judge by the looks, smells, etc. Everyone has a role in our lives. I did find it interesting that the eggs aren’t that much bigger and even though the bird is larger, the momma still takes on the baby cuckoo. Even an old lady can learn new facts. Cute children book that makes a great story time book

I really liked this book! The chemistry between The main characters was HOT! Stuck in what seems like an impossible situation, will it bring them closer than ever? The main guy can be quite mean, which was a bit of a turn off for me. Once everything is out in the air, it makes total sense. Great sexual tension and emotional drama!

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.
Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays.
She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.
Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children, four grandchildren and a dog.

Murder and mayhem are old hat to Tam Paradiso. Time travel? That’s a new one.
On May 30, 1593, playwright and monster hunter Christopher Marlowe is destined to meet his demise amid a nest of spies and criminals. No one can change that, not even his love, Tam Paradiso, a homicide detective in present-day Philadelphia.
But something has gone wrong. The final days of Marlowe’s life have deviated from their destined course, corrupting the proper flow of time. Aided by visions from her sister, Isabelle, Tam travels back to 1593 to rescue Marlowe from the infamous Tower of London. She takes banished fae warrior Theo North, her former lover, as supernatural back-up.
To fix the timeline, they must plot Marlowe’s escape from the impenetrable White Tower, unravel the political conspiracy against him, and battle a vicious shifter with a role to play in his death. But even should they succeed, Tam will have no choice but to abandon Marlowe to his predestined tragic end, or risk destroying the future.

Ashley Pagano has always dreamed of being an artist both figuratively and literally. Her love of art was instilled by her mother who always inspired her to be creative either with a paintbrush or with a pen and paper. As far back as she can remember her life was always centered around introspection, storytelling, and imagination. Because she is so artistic, she took to the idea of creative writing very passionately. Her ability to describe a scene, person, or place, she compares to painting a picture, where she can describe every detail vividly in order to make the reader feel like they’re truly living in the story. Her works of writing usually center around a powerhouse female protagonist (which reflect her own personality), who progresses through many wild and extreme obstacles. Ashley loves to write stories that end with a cliffhanger, that have the reader begging for more and questioning what happens next. Her most recent novel sets the stage for the supernatural romance of the century and includes fairies, vampires, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters who just love to get in the way of true love. Ashley has won awards for her design, art, and writing.
Ashley doesn’t believe in down time whatsoever and actually loves having a full “To-Do”list. Ashley is a wife to her wonderful husband, Eric and a mother to two beautiful girls named Dakota and Ember. She is also a Graphic Designer and a health and fitness coach. Her husband and daughters inspire her to be the best person she can be and encourage her to pursue any of her dreams (no matter how extravagant they may be).

Such an intense story and it had a hold on me from the very beginning. I didn’t realize this was a series so I didn’t read the first book, but I will be ASAP. I loved this book and the characters are lovable and the plot is just as good! Both of the main characters have been through some difficult times in their lives but that didn’t stop them! I went into this book blind and I think you should too! I always say going in blind is the best way to start a book, keeps it interesting and more surprising! I will be reading book 1..because I loved the thrill, drama and suspense of this book! I need more!
