My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our favorite author is back with a third installment to their series, and it is just purely amazing. While you could read this book as a stand alone I highly recommend reading first two not only because their amazing, but also to really get a feel for our characters and the world they live in. The characters are relatable, connectable, and so fascinating that they really make the story pop. Once again the author gives us a lot of action, and intricate woven plot, but they did an amazing job giving us smooth transitions that kept the story moving perfectly. So if your looking for a great new series to read this week then pick up this book and the previous two and follow Van on her many adventurous and action packed missions.

At first I really didn’t like Vanessa the main character in the story. She was your a-typical teenager who thinks she’s all that. She does have a spoiled point of view and sometimes has a few redeeming qualities. But, as the story progresses Vanessa loses her dad and she goes on a self discovery journey that makes her look within herself and changes her perspective. I enjoyed reading this as I got further along. he writing was phenomenal and I could follow along fairly easy through the flashbacks. I cant wait to see what book two brings!

Our favorite author is back with a second installment to this series!! Once again our author brings us magic, tension, adventure, drama, action and more. Van and Paley are back but they aren’t the same immature kids they were back then, especially Van. While Van went through a lot in the first book she now has to deal with so much more including a new mission. While I would recommend reading the first book in this series the author does an amazing job of pulling in all the little tin bits from the previous book. So if your looking for a new series pick this one up today.

Apocalypse (Guardians Book II)Apocalypse by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This second book takes off from where the first one left at. Seth we know is working for the Joneses as all of their previous attempts to infiltrate the town have been foiled by guardians. Yet Seth made the deal before he met Miriam and now his world has changed and his outlook is different. Will he really be able to take vengeance on Edenia while Miriam is on the line? When Seth finally feels connected to someone else!

Miriam has placed all her trust in Seth and the path he chooses to take. Seth means a lot to Miriam, she has finally started finding her voice in a town that shunned her because of her unnatural talent. However, if she loses Seth in this battle for the tree of life she might just lose herself in the process and her faith in her master’s plan! Meanwhile Peter has yet to discover how his specific nature plays a role in his guardian status.The constant turmoil he is in is inhibiting him from discovering the full power of his nature. In order to discover the role he plays he must come to peace with his nemesis but is that a battle he can win? With the apocalypse upon the world our characters all have an inner turmoil they must battle where each decision could impact the fate of Edenia and the guardians beliefs. Who will win in this age old battle over good vs. evil?

This book is full of the characters’ own stories that the author has intermingled flawlessly into one page turner book. If you haven’t read the first you definitely should as it will make everything that much easier to understand, especially the interactions between the characters. This book I literally could not put down and ended up reading it from cover to cover in one afternoon. I’ll be recommending this book to everyone looking for a recommendation of a fantasy book.

Guardians of the Garden (Guardians Book I)Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book drew me in from the get go. The characters are wonderfully developed and their abilities are believable as to guard the tree of life. It is easy to imagine as you are reading what the town of Edenia might look like, what the characters might wear, and how they behave.

We start out meeting Miriam, who has a new power that is super invasive thus making her a pariah in a town that should be used to supernatural powers. Her family of course doesn’t let her live it down as her power must be used to protect the tree of life at all costs. Being the only one with this power Miriam experiences so much dissent in Edenia. Will she ever feel like she belongs?

Just when it seems Miriam’s dissent is reaching peak level in walks Zeke with his family, the only man to leave on sabbatical and not return. Now he has a summons from the master and a daughter dying of cancer to think about. As their father leads them to this town seemingly stuck in the past Seth realizes his fathers has been deceiving him for his whole life and now with no cancer treatment place in sight Seth doesn’t know what his dad thinks will save his sister. Seth chooses to do whatever it takes to save his sister, after all his father has lied about everything. How far will Seth go to save his sister’s life? Can the guardians protect the tree of life from enemies outside the town and those within? If you like fantasy novels filled with mystery and intrigue then this book is for you. It was super hard to put down because I just had to know what happened next!

A Spider in the GardenA Spider in the Garden by Courtney Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s a light read that has very intriguing aspects. The story follows Aranha who is a webmaker, or an immortal that can shift into a spider. Her collection of abilities as a webmaker are interesting and fun to read about such as her webbing and how she can collect memories. Aranha meetsthe handsome Dag who is an interesting creature himself; a vampire that can tolerate the sun. The two embark on a quest to discover what secrets lye within the vampire and werewolf system, and see how they can help or stop whatever they may be plotting. Overall, this is a nice read, that moves along quite quickly. I recommend this story for anyone that like’s low-fantasy as it takes place in the modern world, so there is not much world building needed apart from the types of species introduced and their governing system. This book also deals with growth and development as Aranha is discovering things about herself that she hadn’t known prior to meeting Dag.

I was drawn to this book by the cover. Although spiders creep me out, Aranha is just as fierce as portrayed on the cover of this book. As the last of her kind, she lives a secluded life but that all changes when she meets Dag, a daywalking-vampire. Although sparks quickly fly between the two characters, I appreciated the realness of Aranha’s hesitation to change the life she has known.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love reading and like to keep an open mind about books I pick up. This book was some of those that intrigued me when I read the synopsis. I really liked the idea of a witch who could manipulate mechanical things. The story is well written and it’s easy to imagine the world where magic can help with technology. I connected with the main character in terms of not feeling like one belongs even when she always had. I totally got the trials for the new witches, it’s something I’ve read in books before. The ending of the book saddened me to find out that those who failed the trials were killed. Seemed a bit too much but maybe there’s something I missed that will be revealed in the next book.

This is the first time I am reading this author and boy what a journey she has taken me on. I loved the historical fantasy world that was created. I really love historical romances and the drama added into this fantasy world just added to the excitement. I just couldn’t put this book down. I really didn’t want it to end but I still wanted to see how all would turn out.

I love how there are mythical creatures along with the real world. I like how there is a back story and how all is relient on the main character. I like how the author has chosen to go back in history in Japan. I also love that my interest was peaked and kept as the drama unfolded. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series Book 3)
By D L Armillei

4-stars

This was such an incredible read, it’s the third book in the Anchoress series, a series that would probably be better read in order. I had not read the previous books and was able to jump in with only a few questions along the way (they were answered in due time) but I feel like I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the first two.

This is my first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect but once I got started, I quickly realized that I was in for a heck of a ride. This storyline was nothing like I’ve ever read, it was so detailed, intense, deep, full of many different levels of character storylines and just so captivating.

I will absolutely be going back to read the first two books of the series!

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two books as well as they are just as great. This is a well written story about Van and her charmed life. She is a great character as well as the other characters in this book. They are connectable, engaging and truly made the story pop. This is a fast paced story that was hard to put down and full of action. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story which made the story easy to read. There is much going on in this story but the author did a great job of not getting me lost. Great transitions to keep the story flowing. This is a great pick up and I highly recommend it.

This is the third book in this YA Fantasy genre series. Just as with the previous books the author has done a wonderful job with her writing keeping me on the edge of my seat. Now, I don’t think you would have to read the books in order, but I personally would recommend that you do so just to get acquainted with the characters and the story. This story touches on so many feelings. I found myself laughing, crying, angry, but was very deeply satisfied with the ending. As with the first two books this was hard for me to put down. I highly recommend this story, especially if you or your teens love reading the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. It is great.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 of the series and just like the previous two, intense adventures and danger lie ahead. (Read books 1: Shock of Fate and Book 2: Plague of Death first). Vanessa finds herself thrown into the Jaychund Games fighting for her life. Twists and turns everywhere you look. Fast-paced thrills that will have your emotions riding up and down like a roller coaster. If you loved Hunger Games, I believe you’re going to love this series. Van and her troop of friends take you on the adventure of your life from the first page to the end. Another 5 star, I’d give it more if I could, winner for me. I highly recommend it.

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first one. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enhancement of this series as well as the author’s writing style. This is a well written story that has characters that are creative and made the story entertaining to read. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is full of fantasy. A story of protecting secrets in the midst of chaos. I enjoyed what the characters brought to this story. They made the story easy to read and kept me turning pages. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story. This is a great fantasy story that is worth the pick up. I highly recommend this book.

Plague of Death (Anchoress, #2)Plague of Death by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, book 2 of the series ups the excitement factor. Van, as she is now called, is the anchoress and has to protect the border of the two worlds. She has demons trying to get in, a basically wicked stepmother and a few other issues to deal with. Holy moses, talk about adolescent pressure. Oh, and she loves Brux but can’t have him. Dang, I have all the teen emotions just from reading it. Again, I loved book 2 just as much as Book 2. The action was intense and picked up right from where they left off in Book 1 (read the first book). The characters are so intense, relatable and POW! You just want to kick the bad one’s butt. The plot is wonderful. It has twists and turns. I love how it’s set out just right for the story. Again, I would give it more than a 5 if I could. I’m looking forward to book 3. I highly recommend it.

This book is one of my favorite types. The action begins right at chapter 1 and you are sucked right in. I couldn’t put it down but life and my family just kept needing me. Lol. The plot progresses quickly and keeps going. Those are the best kind of books. Vanessa is a teen who takes a large risk to find her father. Who does every teen take with her on a journey? Even if there are risks to life and limb? Her bestie, of course? These two have some wild adventures in an alternate world looking for an important relic. They meet some incredible characters along the way. Strong main characters and a fast plot line make for an 5 star rating in my book. I’d give it more if I could. I can’t wait to read it to my grandchildren. I highly recommend it.

This was a wonderful read from start to finish. I was amazed, and sucked right in from the start. I had not read the previous one before this amazing novel, but I was able to follow it perfectly well, and really loved the character development in this one.

This one drew me in rather quick. The history and story behind the tree and the life it gave, was intriguing in more than one way. The visual effects of that scene were one for the eyes. I loved how the story built and how things were progressing and such. The characters, that would be a full length description from me haha. The characters, every one of them, was ideal in a shape or form. They all had something in them that had to be told and heard. To me that was beautiful and captivating. I found the pace kept up, and as I had questions answered, more came to light. It was perfect in every which way. i really loved the writing, the characters, the story, I was left wanting more at the end. I am for sure am going to be going back to read the previous book. Wonderful and amazing book! Loved it so much!

I do very much highly recommend this book, and defiantly recommend this author (who was a first time read for me.) The book was compelling and full moments where you could not stop reading, even for a second. I fell in love so easily with the book and characters. Highly recommend, for sure, a must read!

Journeys Through All Creation is the third book in the Journeys Through Series and is a Fantasy/Sci-Fi Adventure that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you’ve finished. I’ve read this series since the beginning and this one is my favorite yet. I love his style of writing and attention to detail and the characters are fun, fully developed and make the story flow. This is a standalone series but I do however recommend reading this series in order as it will give you a better understanding of what is going on and you get to know the characters. This story will take you on quite the adventure with plenty of action with a slice of drama and a battle for the future. I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author and im hoping we see more from this series.

A Spider in the garden is definitely a story filled with fantastical creatures I have never heard of. I’ve read many stories about vampires and werewolves but this was the first with day walkers and web makers. I actually heard of day walkers but this story made them more than just vampires that walked in the sun.I absolutely love that the author gave these creatures such a beautiful beginning in the garden of Eden.
The relationships that were created in the story were so beautiful. Unexpected but so beautiful. The chemistry between the main characters was hot and steamy made you want to keep reading to find out where it would end up.

Julia is the daughter of a wealthy family living in 16th-century London. She falls in love with Adam, a servant’s son, and is heartbroken when her family forces her into an arranged marriage. Her husband is neither kind nor merciful, and Julia struggles to keep safe those she cares about. When tragedy strikes, a stranger arrives and offers her a deal that could forever alter her destiny.

Accepting would also mean joining the Vampire Resistance to fight the King.

Miriam hopes she will not regret the trust she’s put in Seth because if she loses him, she might just lose her faith.

Cover Designer – Moonstruck Cover Designs/Emma Ryder
At seventeen, Van knows her life is somewhat charmed, rarely feeling the deep bite of injustice, but this is ridiculous. The Jaychund Games—a vital part of senior exams—should’ve been an effortless victory. Instead, the last-minute addition of an off-islander tripped her up. So, losing her temper? Completely justifiable.
Her ex-boyfriend and her best friend are flirting right under her nose, while she hasn’t heard from her crush, Ferox, the Balish crown prince, in ages.
And now Van’s leading her team on a mission deep into Balish-occupied territory—enemy territory—to check the third seal with her powers on the fritz.
Then she breaks one tiny Balish rule, and as punishment, she’s tossed headlong into another round of games. See? Totally unfair.
Old enemies, a deadly virus, royal intrigues, cloaked assassins—and the sudden realization that someone has sent her there for an entirely different reason—
threaten to send her life plan up in flames. If she fails, only the Creator knows if Van and her team will get out of this mess alive.

Reverence of a Ronin by Bree M. Lewandowski – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Reverence of a RoninReverence of a Ronin by Bree M. Lewandowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beautifully written with luscious imagery, Reverence of a Ronin is a gorgeous story. Aia is a geisha-in-training, learning the ways of beauty, poise, and companionship. She desires nothing more than to obtain the knowledge and skill necessary to be the epitome of geisha, even if it pains her to do so. Then she meets tall, dark and mysterious Nen, who fights enemies she didn’t know existed and sets her heart to fluttering. When he saves her and her sister from a sudden threat, her heart opens to him and she is surprised by the depth of her feelings for him. Is a future with him possible, and is she willing to give up on her dream to find out?

The story flows well, and the plot is interesting. I would have liked to see a bit more character development to flesh out the cast and what makes them unique. All in all though, a good historical romance with spirit and heart.

This book was so so very good! I made the mistake of reading book two first, but I came back to book one and I was not upset about that. This isn’t my strongest genre to read, but I was so drawn in to the worlds and characters is was really hard not to enjoy it. Would absolutely recommend.

I feel that I can read almost any genre, except the space time travel type. But, this book was fantastic. I haven’t read the first book yet, forgive me it’s on my list, but these characters are great. I would love to see where they started and how they’ve grown. I hope there will be more stories to this series as I’m definitely interested to see where it will take me.

I couldn’t stop. This book could not be put down. I needed to consume it with every free moment I had, which aren’t many lately. This was maybe my favorite book of the series, if you haven’t read one and two, go find them. Very much a different style of story and writing than my “go to books” but dang I couldn’t say a bad thing if I wanted. Good work sir. I’m excited to see what comes next.

This book was amazing. I wasn’t expecting the way the book was going to go. It really kept me guessing on what was going to happen next. Things just seemed like they weren’t going the right way for Adrijana and just when you think it starts to get better, something else happens to her. A girl learning about what happened to her in the past and then trying to figure it all out on her own. I couldn’t put it down and really enjoyed reading about Adrijana learning everything she is and what she can do. I really hope there is going to be more to her story.

What an amazing book! Just as much as the first book. Reading about Harry’s adventure with the cavepeople while he was “sleeping” was intriguing. I enjoyed the sociological touch to the story. Reading about Tristan waiting for Harry to wake and the time that passed (with it being so different) was cool because it is so different. The emotions can catch you just in the feels, like a roller coaster. The plot ran fairly smooth for being a time twist. It was easy to follow. The characters were interesting. Not really relatable but connectable, Harry was very easy to connect because he would help but try to stay invisible and not interfere. So worth reading. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend.

This series is something you will not want to put down and want to figure out how it is going to play out in the end!! The world-building and character development that the author produced for this series was top-notch. The author tackled the multiverse with multiple characters, who were pretty diverse in their personalities, with great skill! I truly enjoyed myself with this Science Fiction/Fantasy novel! Even though the author was well thought out and very enjoyable, I struggled a little with the back and forth reading of the multiverse groups. Then trying to remember what happened in the previous chapter/subsection when the change occurs to another point of view. I love the worlds he creates and his characters in these awesome universes! My favorites were the Isonian Empire and The United Commons of Eurotopia, as these particular universes caught my fancy! I love the Utopian feel of the United Commons of Eurotopia, and how the exploration into the new chapter unravels! I enjoy and yearn for a relationship like Rashella and Cysoro have!! The trouble that always seems to find the protagonists keep you on edge and hopeful that they will do what it takes to live up to the expectations placed on them. There is more to the story than what is on the surface and hopefully, you as the reader can find the hidden gems!
