Children of the WildChildren of the Wild by Krysta Tawlks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An absolutely wonderful historical fantasy for young readers that can be enjoyed by older readers just as much. The writing captured my interest from page one and kept me hooked to the end. Elbert was relatable and easy to connect with. It was like you were along for the ride right next to him while he discovered a magic spark within him. His family connection during this time was heartwarming. This story had family, growth, loss, discovery, and many emotions. 

I highly recommend this book and author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another amazing continuation of the series with book 4! The old and new characters in the story bring to life the Academy. The writing sucks you into the story as if you were there watching and not reading it. I can’t wait to read the next book to continue this bookish adventure!

Back for another year with our main Grave Digger Makayla. This year, there is a new headmistress running the show. The education path for all students has changed from previous years and in a major way. The Crones are watching her closely. And once more, Makayla doesn’t know who she can trust. This year is shaping out to be another difficult road.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had not read the first in series but I wish I had. The book is well written and will captivate all audiences though it is aimed towards 9-12 year olds. This story has so much imagination and the words will bring you so much imagery that you feel like you are in the story. I plan to go back and read the first one and then this one again. Great story!

Mis-Spelled (The Stellaluna Chronicles Book 1) by TH Leatherman

Mis-Spelled is the first book in The Stellaluna Chronicles and is a YA Fantasy that is packed with action, adventure, drama , magic, humor and much , much more. I found myself caught up in the pages and couldn’t put it down. This is aimed for ages twelve to eighteen but I think all ages can truly enjoy this book. This is a new to me author but I definitely look forward to reading more from him. This authors style of writing along with pretty amazing characters make for a fun quest. This is about Evan and the obstacles he faces while on a quest. There’s a bit of humor and self realizations along the way. I highly recommend reading this fun book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this series.

This wonderful author really gives it all, some fighting, great character development, a mystery and more made it impossible to put this book down. While the first installment to this series is a small novella, this installment was a very detailed novel that I just simply couldn’t put down. Full of other worlds, all kinds of characters, humor and more trust me when I say that you need to run and pick this one up today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A few years have passed since someone tried to kill her. EmVee and her dad have been on the run ever since, trying to run from their problems but now it is catching up.

When her father disappears, she finds out about his debt and favor being collected.

A glance of Kayden can’t be good either. With nowhere to run and unsure who to trust, EmVee goes to find out who is after her and her father.

I noticed that the author has more books in this series. There were so many twists and turns as well as emotional parts of the story that surprised me but I enjoyed the novel.

I’m not sure where the story is going next but I can’t wait to find out,

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Right away we meet Chloe and learn what a kind and dedicated healer she is. My inner feminist was quickly applauding a female apothecary in a male role.
Enter Quintus, with whom Chloe has a history. He needs her help in faery. She doesn’t want to go, but finds herself with little choice if she wants to save her loved ones.
This was a very well written faery tale that makes you fall in love with the characters as you share their journey.
There is a cliff hanger ending that will have to anxiously awaiting the next book in what promises to be a great series.

Ember's Secret (Solstice Quartet #1)Ember’s Secret by Catherine Peace
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Honestly, I looked at this book a few times before I decided to commit. It is right up my alley, what with the main character being far from normal, though the synopsis certainly didn’t do it justice. This author weaves a story full of colourful notes, flavors, personalities, life goals and dreams.

Austin and Ember are two halves made whole from the moment they laid eyes on each other. It’s a tale as old as time, the zing that made the air sizzle. I loved the way the reader feels so connected to Ember, anticipating thoughts and hardships, and rooting for her along the way. Austin has this winning personality and just wants to help, and won’t take no for an answer. Truly, I loved the way their story blooms, and the way Austin, Ray, and Joel are there, becoming more like her family, every step of the way! I felt like I was in Kai watching this story unfold, and I cannot wait to continue on this beautiful adventure with the next installment. Read it, you won’t be disappointed!

Ember’s Secret (Solstice Quartet Book 1) by Catherine Peace

Ember’s Secrets is the first book in the Solstice Quartet Series . This is a Paranormal/Fantasy/ Shifter story that once you start reading you won’t want to put it down until you’ve finished. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what other books she has. Her style of writing and attention to detail is honestly not what I expected but it far better. I loved the characters. This is a story about Ember ,she wants two things in life to be reunited with her sisters and to see people return to her café. She’s also one of the last Whakamanu a descendant of Maori bird-god tane and holds the secrets of the tribe. Austin is the host of the a popular show called Back Road Eats but he needs more than the boring safe foods his network wants him to do. What will happen when his RV breaks down and he comes across Kai a Maori style restaurant? These two have great chemistry but will he still accept her after he learns about her secret? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author .

5/5 stars!
Ready to fall in love with a character? Rowan is a feisty, witty, no nonsense princess who cannot stay out of trouble and feels rules are made to be broken, but one reckless adventure leads her and her cousin in enemy territory.
Rowan will question everything she knows as she tries to get out of the mess she’s in. her inner sparky dialog is delightful as she wades through emotions, realization, smoldering affection she didn’t expect with the enemy.

the cliffhanger leaves you breathless and ready for more. fans of fantasy adventure and strong female story leads will love this book!

When I first saw the cover for The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson I knew I had to read it. Personally I love fantasy and this cover alone drew me right in, and the synopsis just added to the thrill of wanting to read it. While I have read a lot of fantasy novels in my lifetime but this one was one of my personal favorites, there was so much adventure, great characters, and a fantastic plot line. I was so captivated by the fine details, the journey that the main character goes on and just the overall plot of the story that I just couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a great adventure/fantasy book this weekend then I highly recommend The Forsaken: Wraith.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Age of Druids: Druid’s Brooch Series: #9 by Christy Nicholas, 5 stars.

Every time I pick up one of these books, I am reminded just how good they are. You are immediately immersed into this magical tale that the author has woven. Clíodhna has many struggles in her life, and while this was set such a long time ago, the main issues she struggles with are still relevant today. I loved her as a main character, she be may favorite in the series. She is strong, independent, and does what she needs to for her family. But she is not the only character in this book. There are many others and they are all written so well — they feel so real.

Then there is the story itself. Such a rich story, full of detail and imagination although at the same time rooted in history of what really happened. The author has obviously done her research while adding her on spin on this tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as the whole series, and I highly recommend it to those who like strong characters and historical fiction with fantastic mixed in.

I read these as individual stories and waiting for the next story to drop was painful at times (I can be a little Veruca Salti-sh at times.

These stories are full of all the things that make a good YA fantasy series live up to its expectations. There are wonderful friendships, adventure, intrigue, baked goods, action, and a fast paced narrative. This is a very engaging tale and i would recommend it to old and young alike.

Eve of the Exceptionals: A YA Epic Fantasy by Parker Sinclair – Review by Erica Fish

Eve of the Exceptionals: A YA Epic FantasyEve of the Exceptionals: A YA Epic Fantasy by Parker Sinclair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eve of the Exceptionals by Parker Sinclair is my first book by this author. It is a quick read, but on the other hand if you do not pay attention you may miss a lot of symbolisms in the book.

From the beginning of the story, Gem and Prince Ryzyn were special to one another. They just did not know it at the time. Gem was sent after the Heart of Cyan and she did not realize that is what she was supposed to get from the castle. Gem had her hands on it but to make her escape she left it behind with Prince Ryzyn. She knew that she would be seeing the Prince and the Heart of Cyan again.

This story takes you on a roller coaster ride. There are magical beasts, good magic and evil magic. There is a love story in the background between Gem and Prince Ryzyn. If you miss one line the story will not have the same meaning. Magical forces keep moving towards the Heart of Cyan but only one can master the power, and so they thought.

The phrase “Be Swift Be True” will have a new meaning after you finish this story. I cannot wait to read more by Parker Sinclair.
