This book is a dark and intense romance story. It comes with a few trigger warnings but, if you are OK with them, the story is fantastic. I was pulled straight into this book and was consumed by Ava and King. Whether they love or have one another, their chemistry and connection is undeniable. The more I read about them, the more I wanted to read. I loved everything about the story line as well. It didn’t shy away from the dark themes and handle them with ease. This is a brilliant story and a great start to this duet.

Ava is in a predicament due to no fault of her own. As luck will have it her brother owes King a lot of money. So King has her kidnapped to do with her whatever he pleases. Her brother is no saint so she knows she has to use her own wits to get herself out of this mess. I highly recommend this book. And can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is a fantastic story. I realize that the author is new to this genre. I think she has done a great job with this dark mafia story. Ava finds herself stuck with King because her brother is a jerk and left her with his debts. I enjoyed the chemistry and verbal foreplay as they grew into this relationship. It did have its dark moments but those sparks flew. I found the story had just the right amount of suspense. The romance, steamy and not, was off the charts. I was in it from the beginning all the way to the end. This is a book that I definitely recommend if you are a mafia romance lover.

The money is just an excuse. Her brother’s debt? A convenient justification for my obsession. She’s been mine since the day I laid eyes on her.
Taking her captive stirs up a storm. Her depraved brother wants her back. My own half-brother is determined to snatch my kingdom from me, and my men lust after the woman I’ve stolen. And she looks at me with reluctant, angry desire every time I touch her.
And I touch her every chance I get. She’s so bright and shiny—a pretty toy I can break and put back together again and again. She may be my prisoner, but she’s got my black heart locked up tight.
Well, I won’t need that useless lump of muscle and tissue if I lose her. I won’t need anything except the blood of our enemies dripping from my hands. I’ll rip the heart out of any man who dares hurt her and place it at her feet.
Crush~Conquer~Protect
When it comes to my wicked little lamb, my personal motto means everything.
April enjoys writing both historical and new adult romance with a generous splash of heat. When not penning tales of passion, she enjoys traveling with her husband, attending rock concerts with friends, and time spent with family. Brainstorming new storylines is best done while riding her horse or during long walks with her German Shepherd. A tumbler of good whiskey helps tie all the details together and brings her characters to life.

The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams is a great dark fantasy book
Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she’s capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to her village, she’s shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in the goddesses of the moon, she’s forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she’s determined to help them.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Breathtaking introductory novel. This is only her first book and I feel she will have a wonderful career ahead. The talent Cambria Williams brings into the imagination was inspiring, and original. Dual perspectives Sloane and Tolvar. Sloane is like every kid growing up that helps their father, looking forward to the day they are “old” enough to do it on their own. We meet Sloane on that day, she is to walk to the next village, Asana, to the market to sell her father’s leatherwork and return home for the Prodigal Moon Celebration. Enjoying a night in the next town filling her belly before the fasting for the moon goddess, she waits to return the next morning. Sloane is not just any girl but one with physical limitations, a nine-mile walk requires a great deal more time than the average person. She’s never dissuaded and happily allows herself time for safe travels only when she reaches her village, Mohn, it is only remnants of people she knew. The Befallen had attacked in the night while she was away sucking the life out of everyone in the village. The next day she settles to return to the neighboring village to start a life for herself only to be robbed on the way and then find Asana had been devoid of life as well while she was gone. Tolvar is from Capella Realm and only on the island of Deogol in search of the “mythical” savoir from the Befallen, The Unsung. Only his scars run deep, and he is happier at the bottom of a barrel of ale than keeping faith in his “redemption”. Many in the land have forgotten the words of Edan Lore, Sloane, being from a very devoted village has not wavered in her faith but struggles with being seen only for her physical appearance and truly being seen. She has something powerful within her, waiting to be seen. What will happen when Sloane and Tolvar come face to face? Will her faith be enough to save her island from darkness and ruin? Everything about this world the author creates pulls you deeper into its realm. The language, the descriptions, the emotions. The characters are everyday people, at least to a point, Tolvar is a knight, but I digress. Sloane is a common girl from a tiny mostly unknown village, with a disability, and the faith to keep her fighting with all that she has even after she has lost everything she ever known. Tolvar has suffered the loss of everything he once held as important and now struggles with his own guilt and hunger for redemption that he no longer holds faith in until he finds Sloane. I truly cannot wait to see what this incredible new author has in store next.

I was captivated by this story. It is a fantasy adventure where the battle between good and evil rages on. But what makes this story so magical for me was Sloane. Despite her disability, despite everyone’s opinions of what she can and can’t do, despite her own self doubts and fears she constantly pushes herself forward to find a way to save the people around her. Her strength and faith shine so bright through this story it was beautiful.
When she returns to her village she finds that it has been destroyed by the Befallen. Now she finds herself alone and in need to find a way of stopping the Befallen before they can strike again. But her journey won’t be a easy one, there are dangers in the outside world she never knew existed and then she has to convince people that what she is telling them is true and not just a myth and a story. When she meets Sir Tolvar he is reluctant to believe her story. He has his own demons to deal with and believing this story could lead him even more down the wrong path. BUT what if what Sloane says is true, this could he his chance to redeem himself. So together they set out to find the secrets of the Befallen and find a way to destroy them but what happens when some obstacles have both of our hero’s doubting themselves and their abilities. Will good win over evil this time or are the odds just stacked to high against them.
This book was captivating and the character growth throughout the story was great. The author’s writing was so good that I felt like i was actually there going on this quest with Sloane and Sir Tolvar. It is a great fantasy adventure.

The Befallen is the debut novel by Cambria Williams. Anyone can be a hero given the right circumstances (and attitude) and anyone can find redemption if they seek it. Here Ms. Williams shows us how a disabled young woman and a banished knight come together to save the kingdom, becoming heroes, finding redemption, and finding themselves along the way. It’s a bit of a dark fantasy adventure with magic, challenges, a curse, emotion, good vs evil, an epic quest, high stakes, friendship, redemption, courage, and hope. A great introduction to this author’s writing and I am intrigued by what she might do next. Happy reading…

The Befallen by Cambria Williams- 5 out of 5 stars
This was such a great read! Sloan’s journey was both captivating and deeply emotional, making it impossible for me to want to put this book down. A mythical land that was cursed and is suffering a plague that kills people as they stand. The magic of the moon is so captivating, that, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at our moon the same. The second half of the book half really picked up pace and swept me up away in the whirl wind of adventure. It was all so fantastic! I highly recommend!

WOW! This beautifully dark fantasy is absolutely stunning! I cannot believe this is the author’s debut because it is phenomenal. It was like diving into another realm from the very first page and experiencing everything firsthand. Sloane, Alvie, and Tolvar are exceptionally well-developed, and they will have you fully invested within a few pages. This experience pulled on every heartstring I have as the author expertly draws every emotion out of you. We get a well-built world with plenty of background in the beginning, and then I promise it picks up like nobody’s business. I couldn’t put it down once I started because I was obsessed with finding out what happened next. If you enjoy anything slightly related to the fantasy genre, this book is absolutely your next read!

This is the first book that I have read by author Cambria Williams, as this is her debut dark fantasy novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and her writing style.
The Befallen is a strong debut novel, in all honesty, I would not have guessed this to be her first book. Her writing style is so smooth and lyrical. I devoured it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, and definitely to those who enjoy dark fantasy. The thing I loved most about this book though is how it is a representation of disability but still being able to make such a big impact and change in the world.
The characters in The Befallen are well developed and easy to love, as well as relate to. You can tell Cambria Williams put a lot of thought into her world building as well, and it is absolutely spectacular. Even though there technically are “slow” parts where you are learning in depth about the characters, it did not feel slow. The author engages you on a deeper level and it just feels natural. The story is a wonderful mix of “info” and plot.
This is a story that will take you on a journey, that has a strong message of faith and hope. It is such a beautiful experience to see, and feel how the MC’s, Sloane and Sir Tolvar, crave to find their self-worth and place in the world. Sir Tolvar is looking for redemption and Sloane is wanting to be seen more than a “cripple”. As some who struggles with a disability, there were an insane number of parts where I just sat and cried. I felt Sloanes pain and longing as it is mine.
Sir Tolvar and Sloane set out to find a cure for the curse that has caused Sloane so much pain, and in the process Sir Tolvar also strives to become a better man. The journey is a waterfall of emotions, so get ready to be on a rollercoaster. The characters have so many obstacles they must overcome, and I held my breath at every single one. There are times where I was angry and frustrated at what they were being put through, and at other times I was jumping for joy cheering them on.
The ending is so beautiful, and I look forward to reading more from this author!

Sloane is on her own for selling at Market Day to return home and find the Befallen has killed her small town, including her family. Sloane gathers the courage to travel on her own, only to find life is harder and cruelty has a large place in the world. Along the way she meets Sir Tolvar, a knight with a drunken exterior and a past he has a hard time facing. With a few friends picked up along the way, Sloane finds herself surrounded by unlikely allies who are wanting to take down the Befallen.
This was a very unique story. You are pulled in right away and you think the story is going one way to only take you on a different path. Full of surprises, I really enjoyed this one very different then the books of the genres I have read.

The Befallen is a poignant story and is Cambria Williams charming debut dark fantasy tale. It is a unique and engaging tale that is cleverly crafted together. It is a story with all the feels, a story of faith and longing. Where ones worth and place in the world is what our MC’s are longing to find. One a reluctant drunk and moody/grumpy Knight Sir Tolvar needs redemption from past. The other a young woman Sloane has had to overcome so much in her life. She has a disability and just wants to be seen as something more than a cripple, to mean something. When Sir grumpy meets Sloane, he is inspired to become a better man and decides to help her on finding a cure for the curse that has stolen her whole world from her. These wonderful characters are well written and will make your heart melt and I was rooting for them against their fight to stop the Befallen before it destroys more. Other characters were just as good. I look forward to more from Cambria.

Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she’s capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to her village, she’s shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in the goddesses of the moon, she’s forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.
Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she’s determined to help them as she alone was taught that a weapon will be gifted from the seldom-seen goddess of the Azure Moon.
Sir Tolvar, a banished, famed knight, wrestling with the demons of his past, is skeptical. He’s reluctant to let Sloane join their cause until she convinces him that faith carries its own power.
As the two uncover the mysteries surrounding the Befallen—growing steadily stronger—an impossible task is thrust upon Sloane that makes her question everything …

I’ve read Magic-Scars and the entire Crown of Stones Trilogy before but wanted to enjoy the book again; this time in audiobook format.
The narrator, Jonathan Ricardo, brings the voice of Ian Troy to life. The intensity of the book increases from listening versus reading it ten fold. I loved the pacing and cadence of his voice, he portrays Ian perfectly.
Magic-Scars starts two and a half year after Magic-Price (the first book) ends. Ian Troy gets rescued from the mines and has no memory due to Draken drugging him. He has been tortured and forced to do heinous acts. As he slowly gets his terrible memories back bit by bit, he must forgive himself again for the death and loss of those around him. He doesn’t know who to trust or how he acted before and is going solely by instinct. Join Ian on his journey to rediscover his past and to right the present.
This audiobook is only meant for adults due to the graphic scenes, including sex. I loved this book even more than the first book due to feeling a great connection to Troy from the loss of his memories. He keeps trying to do what he believes is right and protect those around him while trying to break the mold he was shoved in. I was shocked towards the end of the book when I believed all hope was lost, I was crushed and cried only to be saved a little towards the end.
C.L. Schneider is by far one of my favorite authors! Any book she writes I want to read and/or listen to. I can’t wait to enjoy the rest of The Crown of Stones series in audiobook format.

L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
This story was fantastic!! Magic, mayhem, drama and darkness… this fast paced story has it all. I very highly recommend listening to Book 1 as this is Book 2 in the series and picks up a couple of years later where Ian Troy wakes after being imprisoned for 2 years….
Drugged and beaten… Ian is tortured and comes around unbeknownst to him…a prisoner after 2 years….not remembering what happened. Of course King Draken is at his full rule and cruel and dark as ever. Ian Troy is rescued and trying to put the pieces back together especially trying to find the truth still in the Crown of Stones….
If you love a gripping fantasy story I very highly recommend this audiobook. I cannot wait until I listen to book 3 in the series.

This book is one heck of an adventure. I found that the adventure just grabs you from the beginning. Troy is still my favorite character. He’s trying to adjust from being out of prison and finds himself fighting a war. Non-stop action, great dialogue, intriguing characters all make for a winner. The narrator does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are right there listening to the story, right in the middle of the action. This is one of my favorite authors. She writes in such a way that you feel like you’ve been on an adventure also.

First I highly recommend you start this series at the beginning with Book 1. This story has so much more than I expected. I enjoy reading the series from this author. This is a fantasy that will take you places in your mind. Ian Troy was trapped in a prison set by the King. Everything he knows has been taken from him. He endured beating, drugs and even his memories were taken. They also took his magic. So sad and yet so worth reading, and listening to. After getting rescued he now has to find himself. What will he remember? Can he take his life back? This story is well written and a page turner for sure. Hop onto this rollercoaster of emotions and enjoy the ride. I refuse to give you spoilers. This is one story you will have read to believe. I am excited to dive into book 3.

Magic, despair, tragedy and war are just some of the intricacies of this story.
The narrator brings you head first into the story and grabs your attention with both hands. I didn’t read the first book but will be doing so now to see how the story progresses from the beginning.
My heart went out to Ian at the beginning of this story as he was freed from a prison where he was drugged and robbed of the magic and his memories. He couldn’t trust anyone. He was ready for battle at each step.
As he slowly began to gain his memories back and his magic not all decisions were correct. He needs to find The Crown of Stones and the Oracle spell. Will he be able to find it without destroying everything in his path? Will he survive or be captured again?

Struggling to reconcile the man he once was, with the man prison made him, Ian Troy emerges from captivity to an unfamiliar world gripped with fear. In the wake of his fall, those he cares for suffered their own grim fates, leaving friends endangered and scattered. His old enemy, Draken of Langor, seized control of Mirra’kelan and named himself High King. Draken’s brutal reign sparked a desperate rebellion that Ian now finds himself a part of. His one task: recover and repair the Crown of Stones, in hopes it will tip the balance in their brewing revolution.
As Ian strives to regain what was lost, the magic-scars streaking his body multiply faster. Searching for a cause, and the truth behind his link to the Crown of Stones, leads him to uncover shocking secrets buried for generations beneath the sand. To become the weapon the resistance needs, Ian must claim his magical inheritance. But can he curb the destructive appetite that comes with it? Magic-Scars is the exciting second installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy.

Earl – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh
I think this is my favorite of this series but can’t figure out how this one hit me the way it did.
Vixen has dealt with some serious problems in her life and still has a lot of baggage due to her past which after learning all she has been thought I don’t know how she is going on.
Ironside won me over pretty quick after being introduced. He based his decisions on how it would effect Vixen and her new life. They weren’t always the right decisions but they seemed to be at that time.
I am love with all of these woman, they’re strong, independent and not afraid doing anything necessary to save and protect others who aren’t as strong or in dire need of help.
Though they can standalone I highly recommend reading from the beginning and you should get started soon.
Yet another good book in another motorcycle series by this author. I really enjoy how the author is able to bring the characters to life and draw the reader in. I felt as though I was right in the midst of all the drama unfolding. I like how the author is able to create the world and make the characters jump right off of the page. The chemistry between the main characters is explosive and I like how the author draws from their pasts to form them. The book has a very good balance of drama, along with romance so that it is not overly one way or the other. The adventure unfolds and brings the reader onto the edge of their seats and unable to put this book down wanting to know how it would all enfold. I really cannot wait to read more from this author as well as this series. This was a good book and I am eager for more.
This is the 4th book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana chapter. This is such a great series. Vixen thought that she had left her past behind her, until she got a phone call that pulled her back in. It also brings Lucas back into her life. She learns even more about what happened in the past and now she doesn’t know who to trust. This story is dark and twisty but full of emotions.
This book was awesome! It’s the 4th book of the series. It just keeps getting better. Vixen escaped from her past which included human trafficking. She has to go back into that world to get her friend out.
This is book 1 of the series. It’s great! Tink is the club president of an all female club. She feels as something is missing until one of her club sister’s brothers “Noodles” comes to town. Of course nothing good last when her past comes back to haunt her.
This is book 3 of the series. It’s was fantastic! Taz keeps to herself and has a bit of a nerdy side. Her son is her life and when her ex comes back to cause trouble. Taz learns who she can rely on.
This book was really good. It is book 2 of the series. Shadow has a lot of skeletons in her closet. Didn’t really let anyone close to her heart until she met Panther. He is sweet and is there for her when most are not.
