The King of Hearts

Called on the tarts,

And beat the Queen full sore;

The Queen of Hearts

Nearly fell apart

But vowed she’d be beaten no more. 

The Queen of Hearts,

She played her cards,

While poisoning the wine away;

And fed it to every King of Hearts

Who enjoyed chasing

Their queens like prey. 

Losing the game of Stolen Hearts is how she gets them to play: the cads, the wife-beaters, the white-slavers. Predators turned into easy prey. It’s no accident that she’s known as the Queen of Hearts by most males in town and she won’t rest until they all pay for their crimes.

Welcome to Nursery Crimes, where tales are twisted and happily ever afters are not always guaranteed….

Queen of Hearts is the story of a victim turned avenger of all women suffering under the rule of a cruel and unfair patriarchic society–and the unexpected love that finds her.

The success of her mission and her own safety now rides on her new partner, but while she trusts him in her quest for justice, trusting him with her heart is a whole other story.

Bound by a common goal and their love for each other, they will either put an end to the crimes against women in town or die trying.

Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse (The Forerunner Saga Book 1) by Jay Veloso Batista – Review By Angela Hayes

Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse (The Forerunner Series #1)Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse is the first book in the Forerunner Saga series by Jay Veloso Batista. This is epic fantasy done well- with action, adventure, ghosts, Norse mythology, Vikings, curses, history, the supernatural, agendas, danger, paranormal elements, drama, challenges, mystery, fight scenes, detailed and descriptive storytelling, creative worldbuilding, and is told from multiple POV’s (which gives a great perspective of what is happening).
I came into this series a little backwards, having started on book three by accident, which proved to be a bit of a challenge for me. But I really was intrigued by the premise and after discovering that I was reading the third book, I went back to the beginning to read the first two books just to see if they would help me better appreciate the story. And I am glad that I did, as I did enjoy the story more, and felt that it helped ground me in the series better. There were still a lot of characters remember, and some interesting, if not difficult to pronounce names- but I didn’t have as much of an issue with it this time around.
As with the rest of the series, it is apparent that the author is very passionate about the subject matter and his story-telling- it’s evident that he put a lot of blood, sweat, heart, soul, and research into his work- which resulted in the rich, vibrant, and dynamic tale.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Jay Veloso Batista.

Taming of the Few (Guardians of the PHAE Book 1) by Rowan Dillon – Review by La Toya Lewis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! That’s all I can say about this book: fantastic world-building, well-written plot, and great characters. While there are a lot of characters it is not difficult to keep track. The plot has a lot of relevance to our real world and it’s easy to see where the author drew references. I absolutely adored the Byrne family. They were a soothing balm for every character; especially little Fiona. I was amazed at how Ms. Dillon pulled off such an intricate yet easy-to-understand plot. I found myself to be very unwilling to put this book down. I can’t wait to read book 2 for a continuation of the cliffhanger that we were left on.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flame and Crystal Thorns is the first book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series. This is an off-shoot series based on an earlier series by the author. I had not read that series but had no issues following and enjoying this book. The story is a young adult series but with a new type of hero. Chloe is not a warrior but a healer and does not live in her homeland of Faerie. She goes back against her will when her sister is in danger. I enjoyed the story and liked Chloe. She is intelligent and caring. I like that she isn’t your typical hero but still succeeds at helping others. I look forward to reading more from this series and seeing where Chloe’s story leads.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chloe is an apothecary in the mortal realm. She is the one the townspeople come to for help. However, when a fae from her past shows up unexpectedly, telling her she must return to Faerie to help save it, her instinct is to deny his request. Her last time there she was forced into a war and betrayed….so she does not want to be put in that situation again. When he tells her that her sister is in danger, she knows that she must return to keep her safe.

From the moment they arrive in Faerie, Chloe and Quintus are finding danger every turn they make. Chloe’s selflessness, and need to protect others before herself, just might be her downfall. Can she save her sister, and the rest of the fae, before it’s too late? What does her newfound magic, and bond to Quintus, really mean?

This book leaves on quite a cliffhanger…so I will be looking forward to the next book to see what happens. I enjoyed the characters and the action just never seems to stop. Chloe never gets a moment of peace…it seems as though she is always in danger (sometimes from herself). I was engaged with the story from beginning to end.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows the story of Chloe, a strong headed and strong even stronger opinionated apothecary who quite literally runs herself ragged trying to place the needs of others before herself. As her mysterious background is revealed, the reader is shown that although she has direct relation to the fae, her thoughts and desires regarding Faerie are quite the opposite. Having quite literally vowed to never return, it is not until a mysterious illness begin sparking up in mortal realm that threatens more than just the people,that Her past comes barging in. Quite literally.

Que Quinton, a brooding fae male who is more mysterious and closed off than Chloe herself. The reader follows along as Chloe desperately grasps for a cure and finds herself back in the one place she never wish to be, doing something she never thought that she’d be doing. The witty banter, storyline, and overall flow of this book makes it very difficult for the reader to put it down. Having finished it in a day, and then being struck by a cliffhanger, it makes for a wicked anticipation lying in wait for the next installment of the series.

As a lover of both fantasy and the fae, this is an easy read that leans toward more traditional lore, and it is lovely seeing the side of apothecary as well and the strain that being a caretaker can have on an individual. Very well written indeed.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was another fun fae read! The main character, Chloe, is a mortal and town apothecary and is asked to return to the faerie realm so that she can help save the fae who are being attacked by the mortals. She doesn’t want to leave all of the people that she helps, but since her sister became a fae and is living in the other realm she goes back to help save her. Quintus is the fae who comes to ask for help and there is tension from the moment he arrives. The relationship between Chloe and Quintus is interesting throughout the book and I want to know more about their past. I really liked the world building and the descriptions of the faerie realm. Chloe freezes when in danger and she has to work through many things to be able to help anyone. I didn’t know that this was a spinoff from another series so I will need to go back and read them. I felt like there was so much history about the sister and the backstory between Chloe and Quintus that I needed to know more about!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading about this female lead. Typically, the heroine is there kicking down doors ad sprigging into action when there’s a conflict – or at least that’s been my experience – but Chloe is a healer at heart and not one to go running towards danger. The premise of the story felt very well-rounded to me and I was able to picture things in a more realistic way – even if the time the book is set in doesn’t reflect the current period. I’m not normally one for books about the fae, sometimes it just gets too complicated and convoluted for me, but the way this story was written made it easier for me to read through without feeling like I was drowning in information. I was able to read this book without having read the series that originally introduced the characters, but now I kind of want to go back and read Chole and Quintus’s back story for more information. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series and see where the author takes the story from here!

Great beginning for this series! Very good writing and character building. Chloe isn’t your typical strong, go get em type of main character but I really felt a connection with her. She was very relatable. I’m definitely loving Quintus and his whole being. Books about fae are my favorite and this one didn’t disappoint. Great YA book if you love all things fae! It does end with quite the cliffhanger so be prepared to purchase the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this Trilogy of stories. The author does an amazing job of taking mythical stories and retelling them in a way that makes them more relatable. Each story is unique it’s it own way but it what I really loved is that the stories are seen and told from a female perspective. This really brings the stories to life as you get to feel every emotion felt. I understood the feelings of Demeter as a mother myself. I felt her need to protect her daughter and her grief at her loss. But at the same time i understood Persephone’s need to grow and make her own way.

These books are mythical story’s full of angst, gods, emotions, adventure and a insight into the relationships from a deeper point of view.
Amazingly written I was captivated with them all and I know have a new love for Greek Mythology.

I really enjoyed this trilogy of stories based on timeless tales from Mythology, but retold with a new perspective. Each story is told from the females point of view, giving a voice to the women who made the stories, such as, “Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the Odyssey, and the Epic of Gilgamesh”, so memorable. By retelling these tales of myth and adventure, both the ancient world and the world of gods, monsters, and the otherworldly, are made relevant to todays readers. I was hooked from start to finish and I felt completely immersed in the stories, due to the wonderful descriptive narrative, the fascinating historical details, and the relatable characters. An enjoyable and engaging read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A lovely retelling of three well-known installments, but from the feminine point of view. These retellings are a fresh new perspectives on stories that have been twisted and turned many times throughout their lifetime. It is lovely to see the different thoughts from a new perspective that had been caged and stifled for far too long. The majority of retellings require a basic knowledge of what the actual story is beforehand, but with the reads like these, you don’t need to have a decent foundation built to understand it. The character list was greatly helpful in identifying characters and added to the help of refreshing the reader’s mind beforehand.

It would be amazing to see work such as these included in the literature regimen that has their source material mandated to allow readers and students to have numerous perspectives that aren’t just from the masculine point of view.

Overall, a good read and a refresher from most retellings. It was easy to love the characters in these new lights and offer even more insight into already well-known and loved stories. I would read again.

Ancient Reflections: A Mythic Trilogy by Tamara Agha-Jaffar. This trilogy was amazing. Its the stories of ancient myths but told in a woman’s view. Its such a beautifully written story that it will capture you and not let you go until its over. I was up flipping pages late in the night. Its a modern take on old tales. The first story is A Pomegranate and the Maiden the story of Persephone and Demeter. The second is Unsung Odysseys the retelling of the “Odyssey’ whish tells the tale of Odysseus’ adventures on his journey home from Troy. And last but not least is the third story “Gilgamesh of Uruk”- is the retelling of the “Epic of Gilgamesh” an epic tale of the legendary Mesopotamian. They are all so wonderfully told that you can see exactly where these characters are and how beautiful the places are. If you enjoyed the originals of these stories then do yourself a favor and read this modern uptake of them. You won’t be disappointed!

Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse (The Forerunner Series #1)Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse by Jay Veloso Batista
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a huge fan of anything related to Vikings, so I was thrilled to start this book, which is the start of The Forerunner Saga. Finn, the main character is very young, but is quickly thrown into a different way of life once the Witch’s Curse is revealed. Honestly I’m not sure how he managed to grasp the idea of what was changing in his life, let alone live through it. He is a strong young man, full of courage, curiosity and obviously resilient.

This book engages the reader and I think young adults will enjoy it. You will find a lot of historical details mixed with a bit of fantasy. The author did a fantastic job with the writing and apparent research into Viking/Norse mythology. I cannot wait to read book number 2.

Taming of the FewTaming of the Few by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Something has changed and magical powers are being given to people who before didn’t have any. With these powers and changes come great fear and a desire to stay unnoticed, but the Unhidden can’t be kept from the public view.

Suddenly, a group of six Unhidden is the only thing standing between peace and death with total destruction and elimination. Can they save themselves and all of the Unhidden?

Taming of the Few was a fun and suspenseful read with great world building. With sass and attitude from the characters, this story really feels like something you can relate to (minus the magic). It is told from a variety of viewpoints, so if that’s not something you enjoy, this may not be a read for you. I’m excited to read more from the Guardians of PHAE series! And the title is definitely fun!

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good read. I enjoyed it a lot. The story follows Chloe as she reluctantly goes back to Faerie to save her sister from mortals who are set on taking over the courts of Faerie. Chloe so far has been content with living a normal life in the mortal realm, but puts her personal feelings aside to save her sister. I really appreciated Chloe’s fierce intelligence and drive even in the midst of danger. Also I’m such a sucker for hard headed romance. You know the kind where the main characters get on each other’s nerves, and yet they can’t stay away from one another. Each swears the other one is the most stubborn person they have ever met and yet when their eyes meet they both have to fight not to blush. Yup that’s kind of the vibe this romance gives. And I loved evert bit of it. I can’t wait to see what comes after this.
There was an underlying message that I hope every woman who reads this pays attention to. I won’t spoil it, read it yourself! But all in all if your a fan of Sarah J Maas or Jennifer L. Armentrout then you will like this a lot.
Flame and Crystal Thorns is the first book in this series. It’s a spin off of The Fae of Bitter Thorn series by Kay L. Moody. Although it has a few minor spoilers from The Fae of Bitter Thorn, it can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone series. It honestly is motivating me to check out the other series.

The author has written an interesting world of fantasy that has aspects we recognize but at the same time gives us differences. The characters are well written regarding their individual powers and are fairly easy to connect with. From the start we can feel the danger and hostility the characters face for being different from the rest of the human race.
Many of the people with powers are finding it hard to stay safe. Those with powers are finding safe haven in Ireland at a school where they can learn more about their abilities and learn to work together. The ones who found sanctuary in Ireland must now work together to keep the school and others who helped them.
I enjoyed reading this first book in the series and I’m looking forward to see how the team continues to work together.

I really love stories about the Fae realm and this book was no exception. All the little details make it a super fun read. Chloe is a healer and a bit insecure in her daily life although she does has a quick tongue and a bit of bite in her I found her a delightful character. Quintus is a charming Fae character that is your quintessential hero. Strong, pensive with a bent towards protective. Set in sometime period around possibly Victorian times Chloe is making her own way in a world where women don’t work. Quintus comes to the mortal world to get Chloe’s help. Chloe balks at returning to Faerie but Quintus tells her she is the only one who can save her sister. The shocking end made me a bit miffed but hey I am only human! Cliffhangers make me crazy!!! Great read you won’t regret!!

This is my first book that I have read written by this author. I always love to read paranormal fantasy and this was a great book. The characters are amazing and well written. The story line was different and great. The description and background made it feel like I was there. This book also leaves you with a cliffhanger. I cant wait to see what happens.
Chloe is a young woman and vowed to never return to Faerie again after the dangerous, frightening, and life-threatening events of the past, not to mention the betrayal of someone close to her. She is quite happy in the mortal realm that she even becomes the town apothecary.
When Quintus a frustrating and annoyingly handsome fae from her past shows up she learns that a group of mortals threatens her sister and the other fae, and she may be the only one who can save them. Reluctantly, Chloe packs a bag for what is supposed to be a short trip to Faerie.
When she gets there she realizes these mortals are not ordinary they are fueled by revenge and have weapons.
Can Chloe save Faerie? Will she get the help she needs to overcome the mortals? Will Chloe stay in Faerie and return to the mortal realm?
You need to read this great story….

I definitely felt some connections with the main character and how her life went down a different path than she expected. I am excited to see where the second book leads!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Non-Binary representation in a fantasy story that doesn’t feel like it’s forced. It’s rare to find that so major kudos to Elise Carlson.

Fans of Narnia will enjoy this fast paced story that shows the power of strength & community. A story that is full of action, betrayal, survival of life, abductions and you don’t want to miss the assassins. This is a fast paced, engaging story that was hard to put down. The plot had great growth which made the story easy to read as well as entertaining.

I’m looking forward to the sequel coming out! I would recommend this to teenagers and even adults like myself who have always hoped for a great representation of us in print.

The storyline and the way that the author wrote the story help me captive and I finished this book in a few hours! Reading about the trials and tribulations that Coyote went through in his story was something that I had not anticipated. Reading this story genre is something not normally my first choice but I am glad that I read this because I am now a fan of this authors writing style and cannot wait to buy more books by her! This was a quick read, and I cannot wait to reread this book and relearn to love the story then as much as I have now.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bake Off is book 2 of the Bake Believe series, and should be read in order. There is a lot of background information and ground work laid in the first book that would be needed to fully understand and enjoy Bake Off. While the book is written for children, I am an adult and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the writing style, it was very realistic. There is a lot of sarcasm and phrases used, that makes it really seem like it is written by a 14 year old. The great Grandma, GG, is very well written. Her phrases are written in broken English, realistic of the fact that she is from France. The characters are all well written and I grew to love them all. Upon writing this review, I see that this is going to be a trilogy- yay! I cant wait to read another in the series. I plan to pass this book to my pre-teen daughter to read.
