My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of the most fascinating stories I have read this year. The premise of the magnetic pole shift causing hidden powers to come out in some people and not others is excellent. I’m a huge X-men fan and I have to say that this story felt a little like I was meeting a new branch. All the powers coming out and the characters made this story fascinating and uniquely entertaining for me. I found that I was sucked in at page 1 and couldn’t put it down until I was done. It had a terrific flow. The plot twists were great and unexpected. I have to say that I’m excited and eagerly awaiting book 2. You need to read this. One of my favorites for this year. New author and now a favorite for me. Loved this book!

This book was not at all what I expected it to be when I read the synopsis but it did not disappoint. There is a percentage of humans who have manifested powers which people are calling them the “Unhidden”. Since there is a higher percentage of the Unhidden manifesting in Ireland, that country is self dubbed as a safe haven for those who have powers.

The author writes from the point of view of each Unhidden who is staying in the same place on a farm. Though we do see the point of views of Anna and Max more often.

Anna is a quiet gym teacher who lives alone and keeps to herself. She has manifested water powers. A student discovered her powers by accident one day so the town ran Anna out. She saw a pamphlet of a place for her kind in Ireland and didn’t think twice about going. She is extremely anxious but with the help of others she starts getting more comfortable in her own skin.

Max, who is a war vet and functioning alcoholic can control the wind. He is a bitter old man who is used to being alone and it shows in how he talks to the others.

The group of Unhidden staying at the farm barely had time to even unpack when they are called to war. Normal humans want to eradicate the Unhidden.

What surprised me was the amount of racism and politics in this book, making this a unique point of view of magical beings. I was intrigued from the beginning of the book to the end and then some. I NEED to read the next installment when available!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cat has returned in this sequel to Bake Off. It’s a fun read. Cat and her family along with her cousin, Robyn, have come down to the family baker in New Mexico. She gets to me Aunt JoJo and GG. She learns more about the family history of her baking, the ethics of using her gift and get to help with a bakery bake-off between the 3 bakeries in town. She and Robyn find trouble to get into. There is some baking mishaps and adventures. I’m not sure these girls could find any more trouble (eh, maybe they could). It’s a hilarious and family friendly romp through the New Mexico town. The plot is so entertaining. You can’t help but smile. It makes you think the author infuses smiles into her writing. The characters are familiar, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them and yelling at the book when they go the wrong direction. I love the fact that Mom finally admits here mistake and shows that she’s human too. It’s a really good theme with the book. I can’t wait for book 3. An entertaining read for all ages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fascinating. It’s all about what happens when you have wishes that haven’t been realized and the lengths that a person will go to have them come true. There are so many fascinating characters that drew me right into this story from the very first page. Elodie and Sebastian are craving a better life and they think they have finally found the perfect way to get it. They embark on a journey to find a mythical creature to bring their wishes to life. Will they get what they are searching for or will they find out the meaning behind the saying be careful what you wish for because you just might get it and it might not turn out the way that you hoped and expected that it would. I really enjoyed the way that this story incorporates fantasy, romance, and monsters all in one incredible book.

Fantasy at its best
This was a brilliant first book in the Guardians of PHAE series. Based in the wonderful setting of Ireland I was taken on an epic journey filled with magical talents and gripping action. The author weaves a tale based in fantasy but still has everyday issues such as prejudice, racism and mental health. I connected quickly with the characters and I thoroughly enjoyed the multiple POV. I eagerly await book two. Highly recommend.

How do I sum this book up simply without raving on for days! I haven’t read a fantasy book for quite some time and this book was a fantastic way to get back into the genre. The author created such unique characters and coupled that with a really creative storyline that you simply wanted, no make that needed, to keep reading no matter what! I was hooked from start to finish and this author definitely has a new fan in me. What a fantastic start to the series! I sure can’t wait for more.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was engaging and kept me gripped from the beginning. The author does an amazing job with the characters making them all unique in their own way. This story is set at a time of protest and upheaval but instead of it being about race its about people having powers. These people are known as the Unhidden and as the days and weeks progress more and more people are realising they have these gifts but no idea how to use them.

We join the Byrne family who have set up their home as a school to help all these new people learn and master their gifts but as the protests and uprising of people wanting rid of the Unhidden community they are forced into hiding.
Now they all have to work together to stand against the humans otherwise the Unhiddens could be destroyed forever.

The story finds the characters in a world of chaos. Suddenly some people are discovering that they have hidden powers and the rest of humanity feels threatened. The group PEM- Pure Earther Movement-has formed and they oppose the PHAE- Protectorate for unHidden Advancement and Education- and want to see all the people with powers killed or imprisoned. The people with powers are the minority and are feeling the pressure to protect themselves against attacks. The story revolves around a core of 6 people with major powers, the leadership, and a host family. Can they all band together to overcome hatred and curb violent attacks against them? Or will they be crushed under the onslaught of the hatred that others have toward them?

This was an interesting first book. There is a lot of history provided over each of the core characters and multiple points of view given. I liked learning about the characters but could have had a little less, or maybe fewer characters of whom I got in depth knowledge of. However, I do feel like it was a great set up for book 2. I would think that I will be able to pick up the second book and continue with their journey.

I did enjoy the Ireland aspect to the book. Having been there, I was able to easily envision where the characters were and the countryside!

This is for sure a book to put in small words, is a must read! This very early on in my reading became one of my favorite books hands down! The writing was amazing and the flow was perfect, and the story and the characters? Spot on! This was a book everyone should read and enjoy! Not one to be missed!

The story had a god flow, and characters I enjoy very much. Whether I liked the characters or new they were not ones I would not root for, I still liked them for who they were and for some, who they became to be. The story was very creative and visual effects on my mind as I read was more amazing that I could have imagine. The author really put it all in when writing this book and brought it to life with excitement and beyond amazing work! This is a new book in a series, and I for sure can not wait for the next one to see what is to happen next! It was sooooo good! Loved it truly! Honestly couldn’t put it down!

Amazing read and I highly do recommend this author with no doubt. The book is a first ins a series so great time to start reading it! I highly recommend the book/series! A must read for sure! Don’t pass it up!

This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. I have enjoyed this author from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her writing skills and attention to details that make her stories come to life. This book is no different. This is a fantasy story that is hard to put down. It is an engaging story that made me laugh in parts and certainly had me coming back for more. I had no problems connecting with the character as they are creative and unique. They are supportive of each other which made the story easy to read. This is a story that has a little bit of everything in it as well as had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the growth of the plot as well as the characters that made the story entertaining to read. This is a great well rounded story that I can’t wait to see what the next book of this series brings. I highly recommend this book.

This book is so beautifully written! The descriptions were so vibrantly authored that it made me think of Tolkien’s illustrative language. I really enjoyed the way the point of view alternated which let me as reader understand more characters. I also adored the realistic and genuine relationships and the way the characters interacted with each other. Learning the backstory of characters is so interesting to me, seeing why they react to different situations the way they do, because I have an understanding of who they are. This book is just fabulous and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys some modern fantasy!

Taylor is barely holding her anxiety at bay. With scales growing on her body and shocking magic now at her command, the teacher flees after being outed by a student and attacked by an angry mob. And after arriving at a safehouse on a farm in Ireland for training and protection, she feels unprepared for her first mission to neutralize an explosive threat.

Vietnam vet Maximilian Hurley subdues his demons with drink. So when the troubled pilot loses his play to a mysterious fire, and an Unhidden agent comes to Australia to recruit him, he doesn’t have much to lose. Teaming up with Anna, the tough-talking Aussie battles through his PTSD as they save Cork from a devastating bombing.

As the group of talents grows to a core crew of six, Anna and Max discover there’s little peace as a coalition of xenophobic extremists rises against those with Unhidden Blood. And now their combined superpowers might be the only thing standing in the way of their total extermination…

Can Anna, Max, and the squad stem a tsunami of chaos and death?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This fantasy romance had a fairytale feel to it, which held me captivated from start to finish. I liked the added folklore elements to the storyline, and I felt immersed in the world the author has created, due to the descriptive narrative. The suspense really built as the story went on, and the journey to find the mythical, wish-granting creature, which is shrouded in myth continued. I liked the main characters, Elodie and Sebastian, and really felt for them, especially Elodie and her wish to have a child and become a mother. Elodie’s desperation for a baby really came across in the story, and I felt as though I was there with her and Sebastian when they embarked on their dangerous quest to find the ‘Wish-Eater’. This was a heartwarming and at times heartbreaking story which dealt with a sensitive issue, in Elodie’s wish for a baby. An engaging read, which I recommend.

This book was so good. It was a fitting end for the series. Rowena’s journey had so many different paths it could have taken but I really like the path the author chose. I love the fact that at the end the reader finds that Rowena and Vincenzo do get a happy ending, although not in the way the reader might have anticipated. This author developed a dynamic world and story, I look forward to reading more from her.

Wow what an ending! I have really enjoyed this series and I am a bit sad to see it end but what an end. I like how the author was able to keep the action up and keep the reader’s attention. I really love vampire books and this was just what the doctor ordered. I really like how this book flowed from the previous and kept up the drama and story going. I just could not put this book down.

I love how the characters enhance one another and the chemistry keeps up from book 1 to book 5. I really like how it is character driven and how the ending really is an ending not really any loose ends or what ifs. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I really enjoyed this fantasy romance story. The author does a great job of mixing romance with fantasy. I really related to the part of the story of Elodie’s struggle to become a mother after going through this myself. The author handled this situation in a delicate moving way and Elodie’s story really connected with me.

Everyone wants things in their life that they can’t have. All Elodie wants is to become a mother, her marriage is an unlovable one and she feels a baby will help reconnect her and her husband but every year the baby doesn’t appear.

Sebastian also has a wish he wants and thats the love of Elodie. Obviously due to her circumstances that wish can’t be fulfilled.
However, when Elodie hears a story about a mythical creature called a Wish Eater Sebastian decides to join her on the quest to find it so that her wish to be a mother can come true.

As the pair go on their adventure of a creature that may not even exist they realise that the love they were trying to find could have been in front of them all along.

Manipulators War by Elise Carlson is book one in the ruarnon trilogy.
this book is the first book I have read with a non-binary main character. I really appreciated the LGBTQIA+ representation within this book. I felt that the author dealt with the representation in a realistic and compassionate way.
This is a realistic fantasy world with a slow start as we build up the background, politics and are introduced to this new world running alongside ours. This was captivating, immersive and thrilling. I loved the echoes to other great fantasy reads and I am fascinated as to where this series will lead to and I will definitely be continuing on within this series.

This Night Has Ended by Alexander Chardambides is book 5 in the Vampire State. In my opinion the best way to read this series is in the numerical order of release so you get the most enjoyment out of the series. The series in my opinion is YA and aimed at 14-18 year olds.
“As Rowena’s dread transformation continues, the empire is plunged into chaos. Can Rowena retain her humanity even when her body betrays her.”
Rowena is a strong character and you cannot help but admire her strength and tenacity. the characters and worldbuilding throughout the whole series has been breathtaking. I really enjoyed this alternative look at vampires and how it shakes up the stereotypes. I would highly recommend this series for fantasy and dystopian lovers.

First thing first, this is the 5th book in the series and if you haven’t read the others in the series; you will be a little lost. I am not saying that you can’t read this one and figure things out but it would be easier to understand if you read the whole series. This book reads beautifully. The words that are written seem to jump off the pages. This book has a little something for everyone. It has action, vampires, humans, danger, adventure, a huge political tone, tension, romance, and dystopia. You will be hooked after the first chapter. This book will take you on so many twists and turns that you won’t want to stop reading. This book is not your typical vampire book either, which was a huge surprise to me. I felt while reading this that I haven’t read anything quite like it before. It was a rush to be able to not know what was going to happen. After having read certain genres of books, I almost feel like at times I can somewhat predict what is going to happen or I have a few ideas as to what might happen. Well, whatever I thought was going to happen didn’t. It was amazing and such a fresh look into a concept that I hadn’t even dreamed of with paranormal writing. The growth of the characters throughout the book is sensational. Rowena one of the main characters goes through some difficult revelations but comes out better on the other side. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Especially, if you are looking for a different perspective in paranormal stories.

Whoa! Although this author’s ability to have his words jump off the page so that you feel that you are living and breathing this crazy ride through Sanguinia, I would adore a cinematic version of this tale. The descriptiveness, the world in which they reside, and not to mention the tension that is built throughout this epic finale, is nothing to scoff at. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into, as I hadn’t read the series when I picked this novel up, but I did read the first installment to get a feel for the author’s writing and the characters, and was blown away. Even having missed a lot between the first and fifth novels, I couldn’t put it down, and will certainly be reading the remainder of the series so that I can be fully immersed in the struggles that Rowena, Vincenzo, Luka, and all the supporting characters. I very much look forward to connecting more with Rowena, along with the others, and experiencing her ups and downs throughout the series very soon.

I, as I’m sure is the case with many readers, always figure that things will be end amicably between vampires and humans within the written world adventures that we choose to embark on, but that’s only because we’ve been led to believe as much. This author has taken that idea away completely and allowed for us to see the struggles between different species, so to speak, and wove an intricate tale that hasn’t been done before. This was a whirlwind read, that will make you dizzy by the end, but so worth it. I can’t wait to read and review the rest of his novels and will recommend to others for sure!

This book was amazing in in every which way! In my honesty, that is an understatement . The author wrote a story that not only captivated me, but wrote a story that flowed ever so nicely, as well as there were no gaps in the writing, everything made sense, and the words fit perfectly with every scene!

I loved the compelling intrigue that this book gave to me as I read. It was as if a essence of its own nature surrounded me as I read through. Maybe eerie in its own way. It was as if at times I knew something unexpected or eye opening could end up happening. The fantasy aspect of this book was not only appealing, but beautiful and mysterious in its own way. Let me not forget to add in the action that mixed with the characters in the world they resided in was beyond amazing. I loved this book so much. Also enjoyed reading and watching Elodie and Sebastian start off as the characters they were, and become by the end the characters that they became! Wonderful character growth! Loved that and this book!

Again, amazing book that truly sucks you in and holds you close to the point where you can feel its own heart beat. Wonderful writing by a truly talented author, and the story line was spot on in truth. It was a wonderful read that exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend this must read book/author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Wish-Eater is a fantasy fairy tale romance with messages hidden within. Claire has created a unique world that is not always light hearted. It is a world of pain and suffering for Elodie as she yearns for a better life and finding a mythical, wish-granting creature she has only heard rumours about. It is also a story about hope and heart’s desires but beware because just like a genie in a bottle not every wish may turn out how you expect it. The cast of many characters are a mixture of funny, crazy and loveable, quirky and grumpy, and some you will love and some you will not.

Does such a create exist? Where does one even start to look for one such creature? Will Elodie learn is that the true power for change is within her?

This is the second book that I have read by this author and she is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! The Wish-Eater is a story about wanting what you don’t or can’t have, and I think that theme is relatable to a lot of readers. The author’s writing style sucks you into the story with vivid, descriptive language and beautiful world-building. I thought this story had fairytale vibes and I absolutely loved that. I was so excited to see a new release from Claire Luana, although I still want to go back and read some of her older books as well. I highly recommend this book and it is one of my favorites this year so far.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. I enjoy being pulled into the story by her writing style and her attention to details. This is a fantasy story that comes to life on each page. The characters are creative and pop off the pages. They are strong, supportive characters that truly made the story for me. This is a story where wishes are taken and the characters take you on an adventure where we see something worse than eaten wishes. It is a great engaging story that is not only fast paced but hard to put down. This is a story that is full of fantasy creatives and action. I enjoyed the growth of the plot which made the story easy to read. This is an entertaining story that I highly recommend.

This author has this writing thing mastered, over and over again I am blown away by the descriptiveness of the story, no matter whether you’re reading about the world in which we are residing during the duration of the novel, or the characters that we have befriended along the way. This is the third novel that I have read by her and I really don’t think I will be able to ever get enough. Though I’m upset this is a stand-alone novel, it may very well be my favourite one thus far. I myself, have been struggling with secondary infertility for the last few years, and understand the doubt and insecurities that can cause. This really allowed me to connect with Elodie, who was an amazing character all on her own.

This Wish-Eater idea, is one that exists among all walks of life, perhaps not exactly, but we all want to believe that there’s an ‘easy’ way to make our wishes come true and hang on to that belief in hopes that one day we will stumble or work towards it. The adventure that Sebastian and Elodie embark on is one for the books (literally and figuratively,) and allow for them both to discover more of themselves than they even thought possible. The connections made within these pages and the relationships, along with the hardships are relatable, goose bump worthy, and put simply, addictive. I applaud this author and look forward to future adventures. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! P.S. The ‘From the Author’ section had me spilling tears all over the place. Thank goodness I read on a Kindle.

This Night Has Ended (Vampire State Book 5) by Alexander Charalambides. This is an amazing Paranormal/Supernatural read. This is the 5th installment in the Vampire State series and its amazing. I really think you should read each book to totally understand this book. Its the story of Rowena who is in the for a major fight. There is a war going on and Rowena is trying to bring peace to both. When some people don’t want peace its hard to help it along! Where vampires and humans are thrown together all kinds of craziness will happen. Rowena is fighting an infection as well that is making her a Pale vampire. She is terrified that her boyfriend Vincenzo will not approve and she will lose him forever. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you up until you are finished!

Once again this author made me stay up way to late to finish one of her books! The story was amazing and can hit close to home for some people. It’s a story of struggle and wanting something so bad, you will do just about anything to get it. Eliode made me want to shake her sometimes but she is a strong main character. This book is one of my tops so far of 2022.
