This is the second book in the Star- Crossed Celestials Duet series. I personally would highly recommend reading these books in order, so you get the true feel for the story and the character arcs within them. This particular story is a MM twist on Romeo and Juliet. It is filled with the forbidden romance we know well, the parts that hit me were the emotions and inner torment for the characters.
In this wonderful story we meet Alex an inspiring inventor wanting to show anyone can be an inventor. Lois Wickstrom always amazes me with her well-written, exciting stories with great illustrations and a STEM focus. At the end of the story was a few pages all about magnets for children to learn more.

The Traveler series has been amazing from the start. So much depth and thought-provoking circumstance. Book 3 answers so many questions, and allows us to see the strength and growth of Harry. As he embraces his new abilities and works to control them we also see the difficulty that continues to follow him. I had many moments this book took me on an emotional ride, but kept me so excited.

I adore Lois Wickstrom and the lessons her stories provide. Her take on Red Riding hood was fun and inspired the curiosity in us all. My daughters loved the scientific aspect and the different flowers. Importance of knowing your surroundings, and things around you were a big lesson wrapped in a fun package!

Such a fun read with a touch of everything within it. Drama, mystery, magic, offbeat humor, paranormal, and friendship. You will fall in love with Gwen and appreciate her spirit and sassy attitude. This book was a great surprise that will capture your attention from start to finish.

A fast paced, dark, mystery book with twists and turns throughout. I never knew what was going to happen, and what I thought would, never was the truth. I stayed on the edge of my seat for this one. Lies, secrets, family issues, mental issues, murder, kidnapping, questions; all of it is just slammed into one book. I loved it.

I was hooked from the very first paragraph. Each chapter is a different place and time in the novel. The damaged, complex characters with secrets keep you turning the pages. This psychological thriller makes me wonder how Sloan will piece her life back together from the betrayal, murder, kidnapping, and lies. This wonderful novel digs into family dynamics, loyalty, and forgiveness. I have read other work by this author and she has quickly become a favorite!

The title of this book grabbed my attention right away. Also I’m a huge fan of all things paranormal, so I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that I quickly became hooked with this story. This book has everything: snarky wit, vampires, witches, inheritance drama, a haunted mansion, werewolves, and a good old mystery.
Gwen Carter is the main character and I gotta say I love her sass. She returns to her hometown much to her chagrin, due to a mysterious inheritance matter. While trying to minimize her stay, she has another run of bad luck, as she witnesses a horrific murder. To make matters worse, she is a possible suspect. She deals with obstacles, sarcasm, ghosts, a handsome ex, and all things paranormal in this book.
This is my first time reading a book from this author and I enjoyed it. I think the main character is easily relatable to most readers and who doesn’t love a strong leading lady? You definitely get the feeling that if you knew her in real life, she would tell you how it is, straight forward, no BS but would never lie and act like she knows everything.
I enjoyed reading a fantastic story with a diverse set of characters and a beautiful atmosphere. I can’t wait to read something, anything else from the author.

This was a thrilling 5 star read. Madeline is worried when she gets a call to go to her fathers assisted living residence. She is surprised to find out that she is needed for a case. I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next and who the mystery person was. As Madeline works through the case will she solve it before anyone gets hurt? I felt like there were several stories going on, it was great. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more from her and this series. 1- click and get started today.

What an exciting conclusion to The Crown of Stones Series! Magic Borne is just as mesmerizing as the first two books in the series. C. L. Schneider pulls the reader in with amazing world-building, realistically flawed characters, and endless emotions and twists and turns. From the beginning of his journey, Ian Troy has intrigued me, infuriated me, and ensnared me in his web of magic. All of the books in this series are not for the faint of heart or for those looking for a short fantasy story. They are lengthy, but grab your attention and hold on tight until the very end! C. L. Schneider creates a world of emotion that is difficult to escape. The characters are unique in that I often found myself upset at something or “hero” did and found myself sympathizing with the “enemy.” That is a truly new perspective for me and any of the books I have read in my life. Often, books are more black and white, while real life rarely is. However, Schneider has created such realism in her writing that it mimics real life’s shades of darkness and light.

REIGN: The Rise of the Lich is the second book in The Silver Blood Knight Series by Carol McKibben. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to discover this author, because after reading this book I now realise that I have seriously been missing out. But I do wish that I had paid more attention when I purchased this and realised that it is the second book in the series. Because I think if I had read the first book before embarking on this adventure, it would have elevated my reading experience even more. So, I will definitely be going back to read ‘REIGN: The Assault of Lucifer Morningstar’ before continuing on with the rest of the series. This is an engrossing urban fantasy, with plenty of action, adventure, danger, dramatic developments, shifter hybrids, wizards, magic, Lycans, paranormal beings, high stakes, sinister agendas, politics, corruption, good vs evil, and the very fate of humanity and the world hanging in the balance. Let’s be honest though, Ms. McKibben already had me at ‘God’s own appointed knight’ and ‘hybrid vampire wolf’…… everything else was just a bonus from there. Can’t wait to explore the rest of the series. Happy Reading….

I love this series! Book 3 did not disappoint! The Innovator made me intrigued of what’s to come. There’s been drama, action, and romance in all the books so far, but it’s starting to peak in book 3. The author wrote a wonderful story about the romance of 2 people, but also the collective danger lurking in the wings for all the characters throughout these books. Book 3 is Grayson and Natalie’s story. Which definitely didn’t start off on the best foot. They argued and got under each other’s skin, at the same time those arguments made them more interested in the other. Natalie is in Providence trying to find out why her father died and why he left her a building. Under an alias she gets a job at the Department of Public Works and Parks to see if she can dig up any info she can on The Prism. Not that it led her to anything but Grayson. Grayson is trying to get his Three Point Park Project off the ground. One problem he needs to get his hands on The Prism building. The other problem is a beautiful blonde(Natalie) who just gets under his skin but he loves to argue with. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between these two. Until a bet is placed between them. That bet goes hand and hand with their attraction to one another. But what happens when they end up at The Fortress together. A getaway retreat where they are the only two occupying the space. Do they succumb to their desires? What happens when Natalie is threatened by her ex? Does Grayson come to the rescue? What about the never ending threats to Grayson and his friends? They saw something when they were teenagers that could threaten their lives and of those they love even now. Can Natalie and Grayson weather that storm? So much going on and so many questions that come to mind. I’ll reiterate that the author wrote a wonderful story. A story that could be read as a standalone novel because of the romance, however it’s not recommended due to the drama and action. These books are all connected. Each one may focus on a different set of characters but it also focuses on the group of guys as a whole. You will have so many more questions if you don’t start at the beginning. So it’s time. You need to either start this series, trust me you won’t regret it. Or it’s time to jump into book 3 because you read books 1 & 2. The decision is yours!

C. L. Schneider delivers again with Magic Scars, the second book in The Crown of Stones Series! The same memorable, imaginative, wonderfully flawed characters are present in this book. If possible, this book had me more emotionally invested, but also more exhausted. The intensity of the feelings in this book are stronger, the need to triumph more urgent. The vividly detailed world-building is built upon in this second book, and expanded upon. I found myself picturing the countryside, the mountains, the battles. This is such a great book and I cannot wait for the next one!

Schneider – Review by Mandy Ott
This was an amazing way to spend my 33rd birthday. This is the was the first book I have read by the incredible Carol McKibben. Before this book I had never heard of her and was amazed by the amount of emotion I felt for the characters from the first page. Yes, this is the second book in this series, but it does not take away from the story. I didn’t read the first book before this one and didn’t feel that I was missing any information or details that would lessen the impact of the overall plot of this book. The book starts with Reign having a vision, watching as the ritual that turned the president of Italy into a Lich. With his kindred Reign, James, Adam, and the Moretti brothers have been anointed by God as his warriors, to protect the Earth from evil. After a run in with several creatures from Greek mythology, the group begin to form a plan on how to rid Rome of the terror that is the Lich. The way the author combines so many different elements together to make one cohesive world is inspiring. Flowing nature like water from one instant to the next, the book has a seamless forward movement that doesn’t keep you waiting too long for answers. While also incorporating the main plot for the third book into the middle of the second book that keeps circling in the current goal as a mystery to handle next, after the lich is gone. Will the group succeed in ending the Lich’s reign over Rome? Can they all make it out of the battle alive? What will happen to Zander? The author truly knows how to entrance the reader, you start the book and before you realize it you finish it craving more. I am beyond excited for the next book in The Silver Blood Series, Reign and the Evil Plagues. In the meantime, I will be going back and reading book one in the series. Also, as this was my first experience with this author, I didn’t know that she was known as the author who writes from a dog’s eyes. With that said the entire book I loved reading the little unconscious actions of Reign, such as randomly standing and spinning in circles mid conversation before returning to his place, never missing a moment.

C. L. Schneider delivers with this dark fantasy! What an amazing beginning to a series. Magic Price, the first installment in The Crown of Stones Series, is full of vivid detail, gloriously flawed characters, and such an imaginative, contradictory (to popular lore) take on magical beings. This complex, well-written story introduces the reader to Ian Troy, a Shinree witch, and his traveling companions. Twists and turns abound, but the story isn’t difficult to follow. There is so much information about each of the warring nations, Magic Price almost reads like a history book rather than a fantasy novel. Of the previous books I’ve read by C. L. Schneider, Magic Price tops the list! I cannot wait to read the next book.

” Wilf’s pulse blocked all other sounds, and his mouth felt drier the closer he moved toward the crystal. He held his hand over it. “What are you waiting for?” Ermentrude knocked his elbow. He swallowed and let his hand touch the crystal’s solid, cool surface. He turned his head to look at the others. “Press harder,” Ermentrude said. Wilf spread his fingers and thrust down on the crystal. A ripple ran over its surface clouding the scene inside. The tips of his fingers plunged below the surface. He yelped and withdrew his hand. “Bat’s blood! Get on with it.” Ermentrude squeezed his hand. He let out the breath he’d been holding and spread his hand over the crystal’s surface once more. Again, his fingers sank through the surface, but this time he refused to pull them back. There was a viscous-like feeling in his fingers, hand, and wrist. His arm was being sucked in. He imagined being dragged under by quicksand or the black mud of some marshland. He looked over his shoulder at Ermentrude. Her eyes were wide, focused on his arm and the crystal. Every part of Wilf screamed to back away, his mind yelling at him to withdraw his arm as his entire arm was pulled into the crystal. His neck and head were going to be next. What would stop him from drowning if he went in any further? He tried to pull out, but it was too late. He screamed just before his body was sucked into the crystal’s depths…. ”
The Vassal of Magic is the third instalment in The Virus of Beauty series by C.B. Lyall. It continues the adventure we began back in book one, so I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, as knowing what has happened in the previous books will definitely enrich your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole. This fabulous YA urban fantasy series has such a unique, original, and intriguing storyline and wonderful, quirky characters who really make this story come to life. I can see it making a great TV series too, as there is plenty here to love. Woven with lots of action, adventure, magic, witches, wizards, drama, danger, mystery, suspense, tension, friendship, family, politics, and agendas- this story really grabs the imagination. We follow on from the previous two books and Wilf is still grappling with his feelings towards magic. He really just wants to be ‘normal’ and free- but he can’t even manage to utilize the full potential of his magical powers, so he’s feeling stuck. Then there’s the overwhelming sense of responsibility that’s really weighing heavily in his shoulders. Doubts and fear are definitely holding him back. What happens when he discovers a piece of shattered Mages Crystal- you really should read all the intriguing developments for yourself, because Wilf is about to be challenged like never before and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Adventure awaits….. Again, Ms. Lyall’s wonderful world-building and attention to detail created a fully immersive reading experience that held me rapt right from the get-go. I have enjoyed this series immensely, and without giving away any spoilers, with the way this ended it made me hope that there might be many more magical adventures for Wilf (& Co) to come… If you love a richly woven YA fantasy with superb world-building, engrossing storylines, plenty of originality, action, adventure, emotion, and wonderful quirky characters- then this is definitely the book/series for you. Happy Reading…

Obedience gripped me from the first page and never let go! I absolutely loved every bit of this adventure, and I’m planning on listening to the audiobook for an immersive experience. Trust me, after you read it, you will want all the different variations you can get. There is plenty of tension, especially in the first half of the book, but there is plenty of suspense and steam as well. Cassandra grew up watching and wanting a master aerialist named Chandler. What she didn’t know was that she would get the chance to fly with him…among other things. Chandler was always looking for someone he could relate to and teach his passion of performing acrobatics in the circus. When he finds exactly that in Cassandra, it takes him by surprise when he falls so deeply for her. Will they bend with the pressure, or will they break from their dark history? I can’t believe I have to wait another 6 months for book two because I am fiending for it already! I highly recommend picking this up and reading (or listening!) because it is absolutely amazing!

OMG!! I thought the first two books had me hooked but damn this one REALLY kept me turning page after page and ignoring everything else around me! Sorry family LOL. I had to see how it would all turn out. I really went on a far more emotional rollercoaster then I would have initially expected from a Fantasy series. This author truly is AMAZING, creating characters, storylines and worlds that weave into your heart in totally unexpected ways. This should not be read as a standalone. You MUST start from the beginning of the series to fully enjoy this captivating, action packed world. You wont be disappointed in any way! Ian you will always hold a small piece of my heart.

I was so excited to get to finish this amazing series! The journey that Wilf has traveled, mostly against his will, is thrilling and will keep you turning until the final page. The author did a great job of creating realistic characters and relationships within a fantasy novel about magic. This is definitely a series you want to start at the beginning with, and you definitely won’t be disappointed when you get to this conclusion. This is an action packed adventure series full of magic, love, friendships, and family. Seeing Wilf grow into the strong person he becomes, as well as the rest of the characters as they learn to work together to save magic. I absolutely adored this series and I highly recommend it.

Lyall – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
The Crown of Stones: Magic-borne by C.L Schneider is a book about The thrilling conclusion reveals Ian Troy’s destiny as well as the universe of Mirra’kelan.
The resistance was crushed all at once. There were deaths. Hope had vanished. Peace seeped through his fingers like sand grains. The Crown of Stones did likewise. Now that he has been driven into hiding, Ian Troy searches for a method to save the realm and its inhabitants from the cruel rule of Mirra’kelan’s new self-proclaimed ruler. He struggles to change things and protect the people he loves about because he is plagued by the knowledge of a horrible future. But fate has other ideas, and his power has betrayed him.
Each cast moves Ian one step closer to turning more into a beast than a man because he is marked by the crown and constrained by the transformation spell it contains. Every action draws the unfathomably close to death and destruction predicted in his vision. With Langor on the verge of war and King Malaq’s peace proposal in jeopardy, Ian travels back in time in search of a cure for the eldring spell and a way to stop the emperor’s expanding dominance. What he discovers there starts a series of revelations that take Ian in directions he never would have imagined.
Ian, who is given responsibility for his race’s destiny, emerges as the key to long-lasting reform. Just how much weight can a single man bear? And how much of himself is he prepared to give up for peace?
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. I have binge read the series at this point and I absolutely love it.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L Schneider is a book about continuing the journey through the war-torn planet of Mirra’kelan once more. Explore the historic Shinree Empire to learn the truth about its tragic past and watch how Ian Troy’s struggles to save the world.
After being imprisoned, Ian Troy struggles to reconcile the person he previously was with the person the jail forced him into. He is terrified as he enters this new world. After his fall, those he looked for met their own sad ends, leaving friends in danger and dispersed. Draken of Langor, an old foe, has taken over Mirra’kelan and proclaimed himself High King. Ian is now a part of the desperate uprising that has been ignited by Draken’s cruel rule. His sole assignment was to locate and fix the Crown of Stones in the hopes that it would tip the scales in their ongoing revolution.
The magic-scars all over Ian’s body grow more quickly as he tries to reclaim what was lost. He discovers horrifying mysteries that have been hidden for many generations beneath the sand as a result of his search for a reason and the truth about his connection to the Crown of Stones. Ian needs to claim his magical inheritance in order to become the weapon the resistance needs. Can he, however, control the destructive need that comes with it?
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. I have binge read the series at this point and will continue on book three.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L Schneider is a book about A war-torn continent, a fallen race, and an epic narrative of a flawed hero.
Ian Troy has only ever experienced the ugliness of battle. What he ever desired was peace. When fate gave his battle-weary hands the ancient item with untold power known as the Crown of Stones, it had other ideas. He put an end to a battle that had been tearing the realms apart since before he was even born with one rash wish. and paid an extremely high cost.
Ian is still troubled by that horrible day ten years later. He tries to forget what he has done and whom he is while running from the blood on his hands and in his veins. Denial, however, is no longer an option when his past crashes into the present due to a fateful encounter with an attractive assassin.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. As the story progressed, it made me glad I got the second one to get started on it right away.

Schneider – Review by Shadel Ayerbe
I said it with the first Book and I will say it again I was completely hooked from start to finish! In fact I think this book had me even more hooked because i literally could not put it down. Again I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away but I will say we see Ian again after 2 years of being drugged, tortured and imprisoned. How quickly and completely this author gets me so fully immersed in this world is truly amazing. I could so easily imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I am not wasting a single minute before moving on to book 3.

Schneider – Review by Jules Herbert
This was a wonderful conclusion to a fantastic series. The author continues to do a great job of writing characters that feel so relatable, even in a world of magic. The author continues with a roller coaster of action and adventure. I loved how detailed and descriptive the story was, you really feel like you are there with the characters. I loved Ian and how he persevered through all of his trials and the strength he showed. This story will absolutely tug at your heart and keep you enthralled until the last page. Wonderful series for anyone who is a lover of fantasy novels.

Schneider – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
This book has so much action and suspense and kept me turning the pages late into the night. There is so much history written in such vivid detail that it makes you think it is real and not fantasy. After three books I love the characters, Ian, Jarryd, and Malaq are the main trio and they fight and love and tease each other. Ian has to fight to stop his father, has to fight to figure out the Crown of Stones, has to fight to keep all the people around him safe. He often makes the wrong choice and bad decisions, but he overall wants to do good so you find yourself cheering for him. I love the magic in the series too, using stones to have powers. Ian is an erudite so he can do all, most people only have one magical ability. The description and thought that goes into the magical part of these books are amazing. This book is suspense, danger, steamy romance, and so much more. It was an epic ending to an epic series. As the third and final book in the series, I didn’t want it to end, so I was excited to see there are more books set in the same world!

This is the first book in this series by this truly talented author and I am telling you now I can’t wait for more. I was completely hooked from start to finish! I don’t want to go into too much detail about storyline as I don’t want to give too much away so I will just say that it is such an intricately woven and creative storyline, so packed full of action that you will not be able to resist turning page after page! I felt so fully immersed in this world. I truly could imagine everything that was happening and envision it so clearly thanks to the fantastic writing of this author. I can’t explain how or why it happened so quickly but Ian weaved his way into my heart right from the start and I know he will stay there for a very long time which is definitely not something I expected when starting a Fantasy series! If magic, adventure, intense drama and suspense are your thing then this series is for you!
