The Wish-Eater by Claire Luana – Review by Allyson Ware

The Wish-EaterThe Wish-Eater by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first novel I have read that was written by this author, and I can confidently say I was not disappointed. The detail is immaculate, although I will say I struggled with that at the beginning. The story is realistic, which is both good and bad. Good because it is relatable and gives an important outlook on certain situations for those who may have never experienced them or those who have yet to have the opportunity to experience them. And yet bad because it can be triggering for those who have experienced these situations. It is important for readers to understand that this is a fictional book, even though it may be relatable.

The Wish-Eater is so fast paced once you delve into Elodie and Sebastian’s world. I would recommend this novel to any fantasy and fairy-tale lovers out there! To be completely honest with myself, I typically skip the author’s note at the end of a book, but just like the rest of the novel I was drawn in. Bring tissues when you get to that point!

This Night Has Ended (Vampire State Book 5) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had my attention from the start. I honestly say that I am not normally into Vampire Books but this one has me on my toes. I really wish that I could have read Book 1 first, but alas I started on book 5 again. Either way, I will be reading and getting caught with the other books from this series. I feel like I could relate to Rowena more than anything, but I also understand Vincenzo’s character as well and can relate to him as well.

This book was nothing like I had imagined. It truly took me on a magical adventure from start to finish, and made it difficult to even put down! Elodie was the sweetest and most selfless character you could dream of!! The entire cast of characters helped bring this amazing book to life, and while the ending was not what I expected I truly enjoyed the story as a whole

This book was written so beautifully. Each character is loveable on their own way, and the author makes sure you are well acquainted with them. I love that the story has stop many levels and prayers to it. It’s a fantasy book without taking your mind off of the reality that we live in. I am such a visual person that while reading this I could see every scene. I’ve read another book by the author and I was looking forward to this read! It did not disappoint! I could barely put it down and I read it in a day!

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy (Book 5) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Lisa Helmick

Exit Strategy (Nite Fire #5)Exit Strategy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed this series, meeting the characters and the world building has been phenomenal. This one though frustrated me more than once. The excess in descriptive words irritated me. Sure there was a lot of action but also a lot of thinking, pondering and descriptive words. Every little thing described in detail is too much making the book overlong. I did get bored and started skipping to dialogue and felt I could still follow the story. I did make it to the last page and was thrilled I finished. The last chapter is written in what I am used to from previous stories and it made me smile fondly. Then that epilogue?? That made everything better. I loved it! What a perfect way to round out the story.

Overall the story picks up speed as it moves along. It is a must read if you have read the rest of the series. This is a nice ending rounding out the series. I will miss Dahlia, Evans and Creed and all their adventures.

Great Cover BTW!

Taming of the Few (Guardians of the PHAE Book 1) by Rowan Dillon – Review by Shai Flores

Taming of the FewTaming of the Few by Christy Nicholas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was intrigued by this book because of the beautiful cover, as well as the fact that it takes place partly in Ireland which made it seem unique. I love the paranormal/fantasy genre and this book was full of interesting and original world-building. It was a lot of information to grasp, and I did have to go back and reread some things so I didn’t get confused on the characters or background information. I know that there is going to be another book (or more) so I am hoping that it will be a little easier to follow now that the characters have been explained.

I loved the idea of the individuals with special abilities having a place where they could be with other unique individuals in a place where they were safe and could learn about themselves. I thought a lot of the issues the characters had that came from being different could be connected to our world today, especially recently. I also am a teacher with anxiety about not always fitting in, so I connected with the main female character Anna a lot. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series.

Dahlia’s back and she is bringing it all to stop the veil between the mortal world and the supernatural world from disintegrating. This is book five and while you could read these separately I think you miss a little bit when you do not read them in order. The characters in this whole series are amazingly detailed, relatable and intriguing. I have had so much fun with this series and I am sad to see it ending. I hope maybe Dahlia will show up again one day in another of this authors novels!! Thanks for a wild ride I will never forget!

Nite Fire: Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox

This book was so different from the last three books, and I could argue it is one of my favorites so far. Dahlia has grown so much since we first met her three books ago, all of the challenges she has faced, the people she has saved and the dragon queen she has continually outran.
This book has heartache, lack of trust, broken relationships and more monsters than can take over the city. After they discover a sink hole, missing pets and more blight, can they come up with a solution before the blight become uncontrollable and destroy everything in their path?
Her former partner Alex has come to her for help after not speaking, the deaths could only have been from more monsters. Can he trust Dahlia again? Can they work together and find the solution?

Dahlia Nite is back in book 3 with even more mystery, murders and secrets.
Dahlia starts searching for answers as multiple species have been left exposed on Sentinel City’s riverbank. A discovery this big is going to be hard to hide or cover up and Dahlia is caught between hiding the evidence and telling the truth. She starts to distant herself more and more from Alex to try and keep her secrets hidden all while, she helps her sidekick Casey try and find his sister, are the crimes connected?
As Dahlias perfectly crafted lies and secrets start to fall apart and the line between new and old life start to become blurry. Can and will these secrets have deadly consequences? Can she keep everyone safe?
I love how much the characters grow and evolve in every book, C.L. Schneider does an amazing job at merging, action, drama, suspense, murder, mystery, supernatural, urban fantasy into these books and the plot twists, character growth has me reading these books into the late AM. I am 100% here for it and will continue reading this series.

Nite Fire: Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox

Dahlia Nite and Detective Creed are back, and I could not be more impressed with the second installment of this series. Just like in the last book more and more people are turning up dead in Sentinel City and Dahlia is trying to figure out why?
Not only is Dahlia and Creed following leads on the mysterious deaths going on it town, they now have to worry about this new drug that just hit the street. Whoever is behind this new drug is using this town as a guinea pig with no care to the growing bodies piling up. It doesn’t cause the highs and the lows of most street drugs, Chrysalis is causing behavioral, and physical changes to the human body. Dahlia is fierce, strong and persistent and will not back down to a fight.

This book had so much action, twist and turns and I absolutely love a good murder mystery, this series has easily grown to be one of my favorites and I cannot wait to see what book three has in store for us.

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox

This is the first time I have ever read anything by this author, and I have to say I am quite impressed. The characters have a lot of depth the writing of this book is amazing, has me coming back for more.
The books start off with Dahlia and her past, she had grown up with heavy influencers in her life that manipulated her and made her believe she had to follow The Guild of Dragon’s orders and directions at any cost. She was exiled from her home almost a hundred years ago and now has found solace in the human would, as a half human, half dragon Dahlia has gotten good at hiding her dragon side from the humans and has dedicated her life to protect the human world.
As more mysterious and gruesome murders continue in her new hometown and more bodies are found she realizes these are the shape-shifters doing. Why after all this time is her past catching up to her? After all this time and swearing to never return to her old life again, what choice will she make?
This book is the perfect mix of supernatural and murder mystery, can’t wait to read book two!

C.L. Schneider has done such an amazing job on this series and I cannot wait to read more from this author.
The apocalypse has finally come and this action packed book begins! Dahlia has so many things going wrong, old enemies are returning, she has missing team members all while she is trying to save the world. Her dragon and her powers continue to grow, but even still is seems like she is fighting a losing battle. Although there is some losses in this book, there is also some wins. This is a very fast paced book that doesn’t let up until the end.

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns Book 1) by Kay L. Moody – Review by Helen Dawkins

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

Flames and Crystal Thorns is a wonderful, adventurous read. The main characters are so easy to fall in love with. Chloe is not your normal badass heroin that you normally see, she actually is the complete opposite. While she is badass in her own way, she is very timid and freezes in the moment of any dangerous situation. She currently is living in the mortal realm as an apothecary, and a very talented one at that, with the help of a Faerie book. That is until her past shows up and tells her that she is the only one who can save Faerie. She has sworn to never return, but now her sister is in danger, as well as both the Farie Realm and the Mortal Realm, what is she to do? Quintus, a Fae, is adamant she is the only one who can help. Mortals are trying to take over Faerie and have captured her older sister. I absolutely love the way the author went in a different direction than most magical storylines go. Children born from a mortal and a fae are born either fully mortal or fully fae. I admire that Chloe does not want to try and fit into the fae livelihood, but instead completely embraces the fact she is human and wants to be with her own kind. The lessons that Chloe learns through are both relatable and realistic.

There is a tension between Chloe and Quintus, but you do not know exactly what the history between them is, which I think is a missed opportunity. It does not affect the story in a significant way, but I believe that if the author went into detail early on, what their past held, it would be easier to understand why they interacted with each other the way they do.

I highly recommend this book to all fans of YA fantasy. I am very excited to read the next book in the series!

Flame and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns, #1)Flame and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love reading fantasy stories. The author has created a wonderful world to let me slip in to discover. This is a classic story of fae vs mortals told with flair and history. The characters are diverse and plentiful. They made me smile and root for them to win.

I do have a few issues with the storytelling and time frame. There were numerous times it mentioned eventful things that had happened in the past between the characters. After a but I had to look and yes there are other stories in this realm. So it will either make you want to read them or irritate you. I felt it was confusing since I have not read them and made me feel like it was a continuation. Past histories/tragedies, past relationships and how the faerie was then. Gar! That is not for me. Secondly is the time frame. This is a LONG book, which is normal for fantasy, that moved forward very little. There are too many pages of “in her head thinking/doubts”. It became tedious after a while and led to me skipping ahead. It also slowed the storyline down.

Overall the story is cute and interesting. The author does a good job with the various characters. While I love fantasy stories this one I became frustrated with the slowness.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chloe has returned to the mortal world and sworn to stay away from Faerie. It has been a number of years since she left it behind, however she still uses protection against them. She full well knows the dangers of the Fae. With a stolen book she became the town apothecary to occupy her time until a face from her past shows up. Quintus, a Fae, has come to the mortal world to bring Chloe back to Faerie. He is adamant that she is the only one who can save his world. A mortal that is familiar with their ways. Humans are attacking with iron and her sister is in danger. Can she save her sister and the whole of Faerie?

A new story to dive into that sends the reader into the realm of the Fae. Unlike other stories it reveals that children born of mortal and fae are born as either full fae or full human. It was an interesting difference that I enjoyed while reading this story. I also enjoyed our main character’s attitude about wanting to remain in the mortal world with her own kind. The complex desire to be in a magical world yet knowing you don’t belong there is admirable in Chloe.

I am fully invested in this cast of characters and cannot wait to continue the series.

This is not the first book by this author I have read but is the first book in this series. I love her writing style and description and she is one of my favorite young adult authors to read. I always pick her books up the day they are released. This was no different. I loved how she intertwined the betrayals and the friendships into the storyline. It made it absolutely fit together with the rest of the storyline. As usual, I was unable to put this down to go to sleep until I had read the entire story. I highly recommend this story if you or your young adult are into fantasy folklore tales. Once you read one of her books you will be wanting to read them all.

With action, suspense, Fae, magic and a touch of romance this book is an absolute winning read. Really need book 2 now!

Ancient Reflections: A Mythic TrilogyAncient Reflections: A Mythic Trilogy by Tamara Agha-Jaffar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fantasy mythical Trilogy of retellings with twists. A book of three engaging historical stories. Each tale is different and Tamara’s spin is interesting and intriguing.

A Pomegranate and the Maiden – is the story of Demeter and Persephone.

Unsung Odysseys – is the story of Odysseus’ return from Troy.

Gilgamesh of Uruk – is the story of Gilgamesh a Mesopotamian hero.

Tamara’s passion for mythology shines through her words and takes you to other worlds, times and places. Each story is unique because of the narrative being from a woman’s POV and Tamara’s fresh interpretation of their trials and tribulations, odds stacked against them and struggles that they faced.

It is a journey of monsters, gods and goddesses, immortality and abduction, survival and courage and sheer will.

Ancient Reflections: A Mythic TrilogyAncient Reflections: A Mythic Trilogy by Tamara Agha-Jaffar

I found this book to be an interesting take on the myths from the female viewpoint. The author felt that the woman’s POV has been stifled and she is correct on that point. I very much enjoyed reading this fiction novel witch 3 stories based on the myths: Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the Odyssey, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. It was different to read them with a feminine view. I had never quite realized it had ever been the other way. The stories were written in such a way that the classic of the myth was still there but it felt modern enough to keep you reading. I’m glad that the cast of characters was included for each story. I had forgotten most of my mythology. The stories were easy-to-read. It’s a book I would definitely make sure to have my teen read or young adult read when they hit this in school. This other perspective will be nice to just have. It will also be a nice read to sneak in amongst all the boring dry. An enjoyable read that everyone may like.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thorfinn is a 10-year-old boy that gets caught up in his older cousin and brothers’ shenanigans and pays the price by becoming cursed. As he goes throughout his daily life, people start picking up on the strangeness that surrounds him at times. It doesn’t go unnoticed or ignored by others in surrounding towns either. As his clan is preparing for his sister’s wedding, he uncovers a plot to harm his family. Can he figure out how to use this curse to his advantage in time to save his family?

I enjoyed this first book in the series! It was lovely to meet the Agneson clan and get to know them. The author did a phenomenal job describing the landscape, the characters, the history of Vikings, and their lore. I truly felt ensconced in their world as I was reading!

If you like history mixed with fantasy, you will enjoy this book!

So I am starting this series a bit lost because I am starting at book 5. This was truly a great story and a fun read, but I need the back story as well. The concept of vampires and humans is quite common but this story takes it to a fun and new level.
Rowena is an amazing character who I found to be a bit complex but she really sticks with you. The story as a whole has danger, romance, action, twists and turns, and a plot that kept you going until the end. I will for surely be going back to book 1, but I still recommend book 5 as well.

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy (Book 5) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Exit Strategy (Nite Fire #5)Exit Strategy by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Exit Strategy is the fifth book in the Nite Fire series. If you haven’t read the others, you definitely should before you read this one! They’re fantastic, and you will enjoy Exit Strategy a lot more if you’ve gotten to know and love the characters over the course of the previous books.
Dahlia Nite has been trained to focus on the immediate situation, and saving the people she can in the moment. But when the immediate situation is an apocalypse, she needs to work on the bigger picture and figure out how to save humanity. As well as protecting those around her the best she can. And dealing with the metamorphosis she is currently going through. So it would be an understatement to say she’s got a lot on her plate.
At this stage in the apocalypse, pretty much everyone is well aware of the existence of a myriad of paranormal creatures. I really like the moments where Nite sees that people care a lot more about what she does than who she is. There’s a lot of great character stuff in amongst the action-packed fight scenes and intriguing detective work.
This book gets five stars from me! I’ve loved this series – I’m sad that it’s come to an end, but looking forward to reading more by this excellent author!

Wow, wow, wow! What an exciting finale to an amazing series! This is an action packed, fast paced book that doesn’t let up until the end. Dahlia is a strong, no- nonsense character that has grown and evolved throughout this series. As strong as she is, she had her hands full in this book. Between dealing with the apocalypse, her inner dragon and her growing powers, I’m surprised that she didn’t go crazy. In a race against time, Dahlia seems to be fighting a losing battle. Although there are losses in this book, Dahlia gains many things as well. The author introduced some interesting characters which added some comedic relief amidst all the drama. This was such an interesting series that I’m sad to see it end. I highly recommend reading it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Flame & Crystal Thorns is the first book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series by Kay L. Moody. This is an exciting spin off from her ‘Fae of Bitter Thorn’ series, as we follow Chloe, who is Elora’s (from FoBT series) sister.
Chloe is a healer in the mortal world, and is happy to stay as far away as she can from the world of the fae. She loves her sister, but doesn’t feel as adventurous as her sister, and Chloe definitely prefers her simple life as an apothecary. But when she discovers that humans are threatening the fae realms by using iron to hold the magical kingdoms hostage, Chloe (somewhat reluctantly) sets off to try to help. And so the adventure begins.
This is a fabulous YA fantasy adventure, with danger, humans/fae, magic, a journey of discovery/self-discovery, romance, action, trials, and more. It ends on a cliffhanger, which means waiting for the next book to pick up where we’ve left off. This book sets the series off to a great start and I am excited to continue the adventure in “Shadow & Crystal Thorns” (Book #2), to find out what happens next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kay L. Moody!

First reading this book was interesting. Being the first book by this author was new to me. I’m glad I took a chance on it! Chloe is an apothecary for her little town, recently coming back from the Faerie world she’s ready to be done with it and contempt to say in the human world. Then out of no where a Fae shows up on her doorstep and she much to her dismay has to go back to help this sickness from spreading into the human world. The writing was done beautifully, and I felt like that the book just drew me in. Seeing as this was a spin off, I didn’t realize what it was. You don’t need to read the other series to read this one. Will Chloe let love back into her heart? Will she be able to save her sister? Read to find out! Fair warning it does end in a cliffhanger and a excellent one that begs you wanting for more!
