My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a lot of fun to read, and I felt like I learned a ton. I loved getting the author’s perspective of her tarot cards. As a person who doesn’t know a lot about tarot it was a refreshing read. I enjoyed each poem she wrote, and who knows maybe they’ll come in handy in the future. If you have any interest in learning anything about tarot, I highly recommend this book and this author!

I really enjoyed this series, and I am sad it has come to an end. I loved this one as much as the first two. The fun “banter” between everyone was my favorite part, it made the book relatable to me. There was lots of chemistry jumping off the pages and just enough romance to keep me wanting more. This author has a new fan, and I can’t wait to see what comes next from her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite series to read to my kids! They love the adventures with Jophiel and even love pretending they have a Jophiel of their own. I personally enjoy getting to “visit” different places while reading the books, this time to Japan. The author paints such vivid picture that it makes you feel like you’re in Japan with Tally and Jophiel. We love this series and can’t wait to see what comes next!

This book was a lot of fun and lead to a lot of conversations about bee’s and what they do for us. Those conversations lead to more research and learning about bees. Since I am allergic to bee’s we wont get a chance to make a beehive for our backyard, that this book provided instructions for, but it was great to learn how to do! I love how this author’s books always lead to better conversations for us. I would recommend!
