My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So freaking good! I am some one who loves anything to do with ancient things, especially artifacts, so this book really called out to me. Once I started, I was invested to the point where I could not put this book down as it was just so intense at times, with its own intrigue!

Loved the mysterious surrounding this book. I loved how the author kept us as the reader interested with interesting events, a strange different world, that made me questions lot of things. And of course, wonderful characters that brought the story to life, along with the author’s sensational writing!

Loved this book with a passion. I will continuously recommend this book for a long time to come, it was perfectly done, and a must read for sure! Definitely do very much highly recommend! Loved it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The intriguing story and adventure continues! I never tire of this series, its just so fantastically written! Its so easy to get hooked on the characters and the story, this author does not disappoint!

I found this book didn’t hold back. We all had a good base from the previous two books, this one packed on the adventure and mystified me in its own special way. The visual affects the author creates were stunning as usual. I was pulled in, and felt I was there with all the characters. Wonderful character development and the outside factors were an amazing contribute to the story as well!

Again, love this series, and can not get enough at all. I love this series, and always very much enjoy it. I recommend this series if you have not got your hands on it yet. Highly recommend!

On Viking Seas (The Forerunner Saga Series Book 3) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review by Kerry Carr

On Viking Seas (Forerunner Series)On Viking Seas by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in The ForeRunner series and all I can say is wow. This is one series that keeps getting better and better with each installment. The author has done a great job with mixing history and mythology to create a story that is unique and full of action and adventure, as well as mythical beings and secrets left to reveal. This story also covers what it was like to be a slave and how they suffered which was a moving retelling of past events and shines a light on just how awful those times were.

This story is basically several stories in one as we find the Agneson family separated and each member going through their own struggles.
You have Thorfinn who is still at sea battles the elements, storms and dangers as they cross the seas. His sister Kara is now of marrying age and fighting her uncle against the planned marriage which she doesn’t want. You have family members travelling to other parents to recover and come to terms with some devastating news and finally there is Cub who has been captured and taken as a slave to work in the tin mines.
Can this family defeat all the odds against them and be reunited? Or are the odds to high against them as they struggle on their own?

Cover Designer – J Caleb Design
From Cornish pit mines to Jorvik back alleys, from the Mercian Court to beyond the North Sea, the Agneson clan continues their adventures across Midgard and the 9 realms: Scheming aldermen, duplicitous monks, slave drivers, dark elves, trolls, ghosts, shapeshifting witches, the legendary Norse Wild Hunt, and… a dragon!
With the fall of the Danish army at the battle of Ethandun, historical events scatter the Agneson family: Cub is enslaved in the Devonshire tin mines while Sorven stalks retribution in Jorvik; Kara is unwillingly propelled toward a convenient Saxon marriage while Karl and his crew are castaway on a mythic floating island. Separated and marooned, each is forced to tackle their challenges alone while the forerunner Thorfinn faces supernatural revenge, a battle to lift a Jarl’s curse and the release of his Jotenheim wyrm in Midgard!
Can Cub escape his overseers in the tin pits of Devon? Can Kara evade her Saxon uncle’s plans for her marriage? Will Sorven succeed in his bloody revenge? Can Finn save a Jarl’s daughter and break a mysterious curse? Can the forerunner find and help his scattered family overcome their trials? And what can Finn do with… a pet dragon?!?
Based on actual historical events and authentic legends, this epic fantasy follows the paths of the sons and daughters of Agne, Son of Ironfist in the Viking Era circa the year 880. Like history and legends? Enjoy the gritty realism of TV’s Vikings or the multi-character fantasy of The Song of Ice and Fire? Want Viking Age drama and adventures like The Last Kingdom, then this is a series you’ll love!

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Mikaela Insinger

The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass (Mermaid Science, #3)The Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another wonderful addition to the ‘Mermaid Science’ series from the author! The story is sweet and has a trust that is illuminated through friendships. The science incorporated through the narration led to another experiment with my niece who loves these stories. We were able to have a great discussion about magnification and fossils because of this book. I will always recommend books from this author and this instalment is no exception- a great read for children!

Twilight's SpyTwilight’s Spy by K.M. Wray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 1.5 in The Twilight Realm Trilogy. This is a young adult story however it was thrilling enough to keep me entertained and captivated. The author’s world building is amazing and our main character I loved. She is so fiesty and determined that nothing will stop her from completing her assignment.
Yarissa didn’t want to be a spy. She was completing her training and wanted to join the Elites to protect her Realm. However fate and the king had other plans for her.

Now she finds herself sent on a mission to find the whereabouts of the missing princess. She starts her journey with 3 other people but ends up on her own. Now she needs to find a way to complete this assignment on her own.
However things don’t go sailing and when she finds herself captured she needs to use all her skills as a fighter and a spy to save herself.

This story is full of magic and adventure. It’s a story about learning to trust and also trusting yourself and your own ability. I can’t wait to see how the story progresses

When Elle is presented with every orphan’s dream, finding out she’s actually a princess, she isn’t sure if she should join the hulking sexy man, Locan, on a spaceship ride, or run screaming from the room because he’s obviously nuts. If it weren’t for the strange things she’d recently encountered, like suddenly gaining star shaped birthmarks and a bracelet that once belonged to her mother lighting up with an eerie green light, she would be out of there already. She has enough questions she wants answered to stay and find out, taking his hand and embarking on a journey across the darkness of space. He says she needs to save their people from her evil uncle. She wants to know where she comes from, who her mother was, and why she never fit in on earth. The path to their home planet isn’t without its bumps. Saving aliens, and earthlings while evading her uncle’s men and dodging the pushy goddesses who want to tell them all what to do. Elle has to learn who she really wants to be and to help Locan become the warrior he was meant to be. 

Can she be what the rebels need? Can Locan trust the beast that lives inside of him? Will the people of Prias once again have a princess on the throne to rule their utopian society?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass is the third book in the Mermaid Science series by Lois Wickstrom. It is a bright, interesting, entertaining, and educational children’s story that takes them on a cute adventure while also teaching and inspiring them to learn about science.
We follow the cute characters, Maia, Fig, and Trezzie (whom we know from the previous books) on a new science adventure, where they make a magnifying glass out of a drop of water. We readers are shown the steps to the ‘science experiments’, which are simple to understand and duplicate easily at home.
The characters are cute, quirky, and endearing…. And along with the bright and colourful illustrations, they bring the whole story to life.
The use of fantasy teamed with science, engages both imagination and inspires learning.
Another cute addition to the series!
Happy reading!

This is another cute story in the continuing Mermaid Science Story. I love how once again the author has managed to introduce a new scientific experiment into the story while also making it interesting as well. While this one isn’t my favorite of the series, I did thoroughly enjoy it. I love the use of the mermaid but just hate that both characters can’t see her. That’s the reason one of the characters believes it is made up. I feel that it would be a nice inclusion for all the characters to be able to see her. Once again the illustrations are beautiful and eye catching. I am sure that your kids will love this. And not to mention, it’s a great way to include another science experiment into your home.

Maia, Fig, and Trezzie are teaching science again! This trio does a great job in such a simple way. However, Fig isn’t able to see Trezzie so things just seem to happen in front of her. Trezzie brings them a treasure that has a pattern on it but they can’t see it. With the help of a plastic box, they finally discovered that they had a trilobite, which is a fossil. The plastic box, along with some water, acted as a magnifying glass to help them see what they were holding.

I love this series and how it’s teaching simple lessons about science!! These are great books to share with your kids and grandkids. They would be great in a homeschooling environment as well.

Maia, Fig and Trizzie the mermaid, are once again found at the water’s edge. Exploring the wonderful world of Science. I love reading books to children that are more than just a story. In this story the children will read and go hands on with this project. There is a big difference between hearing and seeing something done. This author has once again impressed me with her writing skills. Including the breakdown to make the project. The story is fast paced and intriguing. It will keep your little reader reading. I highly recommend this children’s book, and hope you work along with your child.

This is the second book that I have read from this series, and my favorite part are the cartoon like cute illustrations! At an extremely close second, my favorite part is at the end with the explanation of the science experiment. This is a great book to read to little ones, and have them absorb this type of learning. Then one day they grow up and read it for themselves! I love these books.

Maia and Fig are looking for stones to build a tower. Their friend Trezzie, who is a mermaid, gave them a special stone – a stone with a design on it. Trezzie, Maia and Fig build a magnifying glass using water droplets to see what the design is. They find that it is a creature – a trilobite fossil, a creature from long ago. It is amazing what we can find in nature, and how we can use nature to study the world around us.
This a great book addition to any children’s or classroom library.

Mermaid and the Water Magnifying Glass is another story in this educational series. Lois always makes her stories fun. They are adventurous whilst at the same time a learning tool. The writing encourages children to participate in the adventure along with learning about a magnifying glass and fossils. It is aimed for children between 4 – 8 years. The illustrations are bright and colourful, and bring life to a story that is easily imagined and entertaining.

Fig, Maia and Trezzie are back in this new adventure where they learn a new trick with the help of one of the treasures from the treasure box.

Another cute story about the relationship between Fig, Maia and her mermaid friend Trezzie and how they can learn different scientific skills from each other. I think it is adorable that Fig just can’t see Trezzie and still seems on the fence as to if Maia is actually talking to a mermaid or if she is just making it up. I enjoy that there is a mermaid involved in the story to help engage kids in learning about science. This particular story deals with how to make a magnifying glass using a clear container and water droplets. I love the easy to read story line and the artwork is well done. The author does a great job of clearly explaining the science at the end of the story in a way that young children will be able to understand. I absolutely recommend this story to anyone looking for a cute children’s story.

This is a short book that is a nice way to get younger children interested in science. Maia and Fig enjoy a visit from the mermaid Tezzie as they are playing by the waterside. Fig shows Maia how easy it is to use water and a transparent plastic container like a microscope. They learn that a simple rock can be something much more interesting. I like that at the end of the story there is a short section that explains the science behind the story and shows it in easy terms for children to understand.

Trezzie, Mia and Fig are back again. This time, we get to learn about magnifying glass. Trezzie found a rock with a pattern. They needed to look at it closer. One of the reasons I love the mermaid books is that they give ideas of hands-on science. The ideas in this book for magnifying glass are cool and things that kids can do a home. The story is fun and engaging. The information is relevant. The pictures are bright and colorful. My favorite science stories to read to my grandchildren. I recommend highly for all younger children.

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 the 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 for children.

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 and four grandchildren, and a dog. She gardens, rides her bike, and tries to save the planet.

Twilight's SpyTwilight’s Spy by K.M. Wray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Twilight’s Spy is book #1.5 in The Twilight Realm Trilogy by K.M. Wray. It is a YA fantasy adventure story with elves, dragons, magic, action, adventure, emotion, a quest, great world creation, and drama.
In this instalment we follow Yarissa on a spy mission, but things don’t quite go according to plan and get more complicated when she finds herself trapped in the Night Realm, fighting to survive… things seem quite dire. What happens makes for an exciting read.
Again, the world building is really original, and Ms. Wray has done a good job of bringing her ‘world’, characters, and story to life. It was a fun story to read- and I look forward to more.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, K.M Wray!

This book certainly brought on its own level of intrigue and wonder! The author wrote a wonderful story, with a very good visual aspect as well. I loved reading of the Realm and its inhabitants of the creature that resided there. The story had its own magic, and great character depth and development as well!

What I loved most was the flow of the story. It was at a good pace where you got to know the characters that you met and came across. Yarissa was a wonderful character. Her sense of determination was very admirable, but when she goes on the quest that is assigned to her, though it was against her preference, she grows so much, and finds things deep from within her. I found that remarkable and realistic at the same time. I really valued the author put that character growth such as that in there. I was hooked all the way through, the book certainly kept me interested. I need the next book right now, as per how it ended, I must seriously learn rather quick how things turned out! The writing was magical! Loved this book!

Truly a wonderful book, that is full of magic and adventure. I highly am recommending this book to be read with no doubt at all! The author is very highly recommended as well. Both are a must read!

I really liked the first book in this series and was excited to see a new book come out! This book was written to bridge the gap between the first and second book and give us insight and the backstory for a character in the second book. The main character is smart and stubborn and really easy to like. Yarissa has just finished her training and can’t wait to become part of the Elites, but first she is sent as a spy into the Night Realm. She doesn’t want to be a spy and really just wants to help keep her people safe, but she learns a lot about herself, the fighters, and her training during the mission. She makes friends and tries to fit in while in the Night Realm, which is hard with her blond hair and sun kissed darker skin. The description of the realms is detailed and I am so excited for the next book in the series!

Reece had a thirst for the adrenaline rush that came with taking risks. He’d avoided paying the price for most of his push of the envelope until he met one person that used his lust for fast cars, wicked weapons, ditching school, and beautiful girls to trap him in the most seductive ways. Someone he least expected put her life in danger to save him from himself, and he wouldn’t waste her sacrifice. Reece would use the anger fueled by the strikes to an innocent to start the beginning of the turn of justice that would change the course of his life. He hoped his family could forgive him for the deal that put a target on their heads.
