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

4.5 stars

In the second book of this original YA fantasy series, the Edenians find themselves in the middle of a fight to keep evil from getting to the tree of life and trying to preserve thousands of years of secrets. It is an original premise with multiple layers with myth, folklore, religious overtones and more. The characterisation is once again strong and complex and have real depth to them. It is beautifully written and cleverly crafted where the world building ensnares you as much as the magic we find in the story.
The Joneses it seems have had a long-standing endeavour to get what they want, and they don’t care who they step on to get what they want even if it means taking out their own in the way.

Helm of Awe (Anchoress Series #3)Helm of Awe by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Anchoress series and they just keep getting better and better. The author’s growth of the characters and their relationships is really good and the reader feels like they have grown as the characters develop. The world’s the author creates are magical but also seem so realistic.

We are back with Van and her friends as they go on the missions every summer to find the sacred items of creation. This time Van needs to find the staff with the flame. However her boss has other ideas. She doesn’t want Van to go off searching. She needs her to go and stop the increase in demons and figure out why the shield protecting their World seems to be failing.
After completing in the Jaychund Games and failing Van starts to have doubts about her abilities but when she breaks a rule in the Balish territory she finds herself placed in another round of games. How is that fair?
Add to this Van having to watch her friend and ex boyfriend flirting at every opportunity and her crush on the Balish Prince can Van keep her focus long enough to complete her mission and solve the mystery around the third seal. Or will the distractions prove to much and with the additional worry or a virus and enemies out to get even with her she doesn’t know who she can trust and who only has her back to stab her in it.

Plague of Death (Anchoress, #2)Plague of Death by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Anchoress series and its just as captivating as the first book. I do recommend reading the first book to get a complete understanding of the characters however the author does an amazing job of bring parts of the first book into this one so the reader will still understand and enjoy this read if the first book hasnt been read.

We are back with Van. After her successful mission in the last story and the revelation of her gifts and responsibilities to her people Van is pushing herself harder than ever to become the best warrior. She can’t let anything or anyone be her weakness so she puts a hard shell around her to keep her strong. However by doing that she isn’t facing and dealing with the losses she experienced in the first book.

In this second story she has new challenges to face. Firstly the boy she loves she can’t be with because he’s her protector. Secondly her new mission has her enter a part of the living world full of con men, and pirates and a women who may not be a woman but who is very dangerous. This part of Living world is much rougher and far more dangerous than Van has experienced before.
And those challenges are just the tip of what Van goes through. However with the help of her best friend Paley and her protector Brux she sets out to complete this mission as well keeping her people safe.
But at what cost? Van is aware of darkness that lingers inside her. Will she be able to keep the darkness at bay or will her actions and the curse of her ancestors bring it to the surface?

Shock of Fate (Anchoress #1)Shock of Fate by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Anchoress series. And wow what a ride. This book is action packed from the first page. The author does an amazing job with the characters and bringing their worlds to life. At first I was a little confused with between the living world and earth world but after a while I got used to it.
The twist at the beginning of the story was different. How the story started by focusing on Van’s father and then goes straight on to focusing on Van was different but made for an intriguing story. You just knew there was something special and unique about Van.

When her father goes missing Van is selected to go on a secret project but not knowing what that project is she decides to take her friend Paley along for the ride. Using gemstones to travel via a portal the girls set off with no idea of the consequences of their actions and what it means to have used the stones.
What happens next is an adventure that keeps the reader gripped as the girls try to uncover what happened to Van’s father. Is he dead or has something happened to him? Did he do the things he was accused of? And can Van protect him while trying to complete her own project and keep herself and her friend safe.

Helm of Awe is the third book in the Anchoress Series by D.L. Armillei. I have loved every book in this wonderful series, and this story was no exception. After enjoying the previous two books so much, I had high expectations for this story. I am happy to say that Ms. Armillei didn’t let me down, delivering everything I could have hoped for, and more. That’s not to say there weren’t a few tense moments that had me a bit worried though.
As with the previous two books, this is a young adult fantasy- another adventure full of magic, demons, past enemies, a deadly plague, royal politics/agendas, assassins, set ups, threats, mystical beings/creatures, witches and wizards, dramatic developments, obstacles, good vs evil, mystery, and more.
Van’s quest finds her seemingly up against impossible odds. How can she succeed when fate seems so intent on throwing her one curve ball after another. Making things even more daunting is the fact that her powers are a bit unreliable. What happens makes for another captivating adventure.
I can’t wait to see where we go from here. What does Ms. Armillei have in store for us next? It’s sure to be fantastic!!!
Happy Reading !

Thank You, D.L. Armillei!

All I can say is wow. This novel was so good. I don’t even like spiders and I found myself intrigued and loving Aranha’s story. Who would have thought that I would really like a story about a spider shifter, definitely not me. The story had everything that I love, drama, romance and the supernatural. This author created a really nice world and I look forward to reading more from her.

Van is back in the third book in this YA fantasy series. You should read the first two books before diving into this one. The author does give us enough to know what happened in the first two books, but you really don’t want to miss out on all the danger and action in them. cleverly woven and masterfully created and adventure that you soon get lost in it. It is written so vividly that it is an experience and not just a story. I have said it before, but I will say it again because it still holds true with this author; The storyline is complex and multi-layered, and the author has blended this seamlessly with her brilliant word smithing and world building.
Van is thrown into the fight for her life in this Hunger Gamesesque story. I thought the author her through her paces with the last book, but it is nothing compared to this fast-paced journey.

I absolute loved this book. The unique take on the paranormal world that I have not read anything like before to the different characters themselves. Aranha is a spider shifter, believed to be the last of her kind after being hunted by other paranormal. She sticks to the shadows, moves, and only hunts to feed and even then only those who deserve it. One on one of her hunts, she walked into Dag’s bar. Dag is a daywalker, another paranormal believed hunted to extinction. After a confrontation the two realize that there are things that they can learn from each other and that there may be hope after all. Aranha and Dag work together to try to figure out what the vampires in their community are up to and safe and innocent human girl while they are at it. Will Aranha be able to learn to trust Dag after everything she thought she knew? Will Dag realize the depth of his feelings before he does something he cant take back?
I loved this book!!!! I can’t wait to see what comes next for Arahna and Dag as well as the different paranormal in their world. Hoping to see Jonah get his own story along the way. Wishing the next story was already here!

The saga continues in this action-packed YA fantasy series. This is the second book, and it is better than the first. The author has cleverly woven and masterfully created and adventure that you soon get lost in it. It is written so vividly that it is an experience and not just a story. I strongly recommend you read the first book before you dive into this one, even though the author gives us enough to get a glimpse of what happened in the first book. The story is complex and multi-layered, but the author has blended this together seamlessly with her brilliant word smithing and world building. There is an intriguing list of characters, all sorts of creatures and beings, pirates, and con men, add in danger, magic and portals, mystery and challenges, and evil vs good and you won’t be putting this book down for a while.
Van is back and is growing in strength and character. The author certainly puts her through a lot in this fast-paced journey.
I look forward to further adventures.

I was definitely intrigued when I read what this book was about. I wasn’t all to sure what I’d find in the pages or how I’d feel with the overall story, but I was definitely excited. And boy am I glad I got it. This story to me felt fresh and original and with how much I read I sometimes find it hard to find that but this author definitely knew this story need written. From page one I was drawn in and simply couldn’t put it down. The characters are complex and draw you so completely into their world that the real world has a way of disappearing for the time being. It’s a story full of fantasy and mystery that will keep you on your toes. Four big stars and highly recommended to all readers younger and older!

Van is back at it again! This time a whole slew of different trials are headed her way. Her love for her protector, her stepmoms weird new boyfriend, just to name a few! Van has matured a lot since the first book but she definitely has some more growing to do. She accepts her part on being the island’s protector and trying to be that person at the young age of 16. She still has some slip ups here and there that reminds you that she is still just a teenager. Paley did some growing i feel like in this book too, although she still has the sense of not belonging. All of the different creatures in this was pretty cool! This author did not disappoint in this second book!

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!

While Van went through a lot in the first book she now has to deal with so much more including a new mission.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
