Apocalypse (Guardians Book II)Apocalypse by Theresa Pocock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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 (Journeys Through Book 3) by James Talisman

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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. Agreement would give her what she has been denied and grant her fondest wishes: the freedom to do as she pleases and a reunion with her one true love. There’s only one catch. Accepting would also mean joining the Vampire Resistance to fight the King.

Helm of Awe Anchoress Series Book 3 by D.L. Armillei
Genre – Fantasy, YA, Action-Adventure
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.

When Donna (D. L.) was four years old, she wrote a “story” in “cursive” and gave it to her mother to read out loud. Instead, her mother tucked the pages

into a desk drawer and suggested they read her amazing story together, in a few years, after Donna had learned how to read and write.

Now—able to read and write—Donna continues to create amazing stories. She takes readers into immersive fantasy worlds filled with action,

adventure, and a bit of romance.

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.

I thought the story was original and exciting. At times it felt like the pages were turning themselves. I was so engrossed by this book I really didn’t want it to end. As the First book that I have read by this author it was the best type of introduction. I cannot wait to read more.

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!

The Traveler: Book Two is the second instalment in The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. As with the first book, it is a sci-fi fantasy with time travel, adventure, plenty of originality and imagination, tension, and intrigue- making for a highly creative read .
This is the second book in the series and follows The Traveler in their journey, so in saying that I highly recommend reading the first book in the series before starting on this one. The first book will help ground you in the storyline, as well as provide interesting and important details that will help enhance your reading experience of this book.
As we discovered in Book One, The Traveler is an ancient ‘being’ who has travelled the universe and has taken on various forms over the millennia’s, using these ‘experiences’ as a means to gaining knowledge and power.
I felt this second story was even more complex, impactful, and emotional than the first. I felt it also had a lot more depth and development than the first- the author has really found her groove with the story and character/s. I enjoyed the first book, but this second book is better still.
Another unique, interesting, and somewhat thought-provoking read.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Deborah Dugan!

The story unfolds as when unexplained things happen. Nen is there for Aia….and you are enveloped into this fantasy world of beings. I love the power of love between Nen and Aia. This story is different, intriguing and I would love to see more of Nen and Aia in their journey together. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 4 stars!

This was an interesting read! Not the kind of story I was expecting, even with reading the synopsis. It was an entertaining story with various threads of suspense, crime, action and other elements woven throughout the story. While I enjoyed reading this one it wasn’t my favorite. I felt like I had some trouble getting into the story and staying enthralled. It was hard for me to escape during this book. I liked the characters and it was a very unique (in my humble opinion) spin on shifters but I just had trouble concentrating with this one. I wouldn’t be opposed to reading from this author again in the future and maybe I’ll like the next one just a little better!

It’s late and I’m still not ready for this book to end! Alas, I have finished it and there is no more adventure for Arahna, Dag and Jonah. I don’t know what it is about the alpha attitude and the snarky female comebacks; but, I love them and I want more!!

Aranha is the last of her kind and as much as she resembles a spider (I’m terrified of them), she was a character I could root for and relate to. She’s just surviving with her clingy, adopted werewolf until she meets Dag and then her content life of hiding in the shadows is not possible anymore. Dag is a daywalker vampire that’s just floating under the radar as much as he can until Aranha walks into his bar one night; and then it’s all he can do to keep himself in check as he tries to win her affections and protect her at the same time.

I loved this book and really hope the author gives us more of Aranha and Dag. I didn’t want to put this book down from the very beginning and got to experience the butterflies you get when you read smitten characters. The steam was tasteful and very well written and I want so much more!!

I really enjoyed this book! This author was a first for me but I can say with certainty that it will not be the last book of hers that I will read. I found the writing and story line to be fast paced and very entertaining and the characters relatable.

Aranha is the last of her kind, a spider shape shifter. Being one of a kind can prove to be very lonely. Enter Jonas, her adopted werewolf son who helps to give her life a bit of purpose and companionship. They thought having each other was all they would need until Dag, a daywalker, entered the picture.

This book was a rollercoaster for me and I didn’t want it to end. I hope this series has many more to come!

This is a coming-of-age a Sci Fi dystopian novella and is the prequel to The Industrial Age trilogy. It is a futuristic tale set on other planets. It soon becomes known that not all is as it seems. Climate change crisis, pollution and technology cause damage and large corporations are out for themselves. To that end they will hunt those who have different abilities that may hinder their desired outcome. It is a dangerous enemy and one who will stop at nothing to win. Drama, political agendas, struggles, science, genetic modifications, greed and fortune are all things that this tale has that make it thought provoking.

As lovely as this haunting historical fantasy was if this book was longer, I think it would have reached its full potential. Having said that the story gives you a look at ancient Japan and trying to incorporate Western ways and their own traditions as history and fantasy meet.
The story is unique as Geishas, warlords, culture, legends, mythology, and folktales become reality. The world building descriptions make you feel as though you have been transported to mid-1800’s Japan.
This book is a quick read and is worth checking out.

This is the authors second book, and it is just as good as the first one. It is a Sci Fi fantasy story that Sci Fi fans will enjoy. The authors creative visual is unusually different and uniquely quirky and different, but it works. It is not just a story it is an experience. The tale is original, and it captivates it audience. The Traveler is a fascinating character. It is a timeless ancient being. This is imaginative storytelling whilst exploring a great unknown. Once again, her passion shines through for this genre in her writing.
The Traveler has a lot to share and those he meets have a lot to learn.

I was hesitant about this story. But I love vampire stories so I gave it a try. I was so glad I did! What is in here is a wonderful story with characters that make the reader care and worry about them. I am completely surprised how much I love this story! The writing is smooth and easy to follow along. I was pleased with the movement of the story.

The characters are down to earth and realistic…to an extent. I enjoyed learning about the life of Aranha and the hardship she has endured. When she collects her adopted son, I couldn’t have been happier for both of them. Dag was a surprise and I enjoyed him and his friends.

Overall this story surprised me and made me look forward to diving back into it after a long day. I wouldn’t hesitate to read another by this author.

I absolutely loved the previous novel, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story in this one, the flow of the story was more heavier than the first one, but it made me really love it. I love this authors way of writing, she really brings the story to life, and really mesmerized the reader fully in body and mind.

The Traveler is a wonderful being, this one as I have said was heavier in the sense of the things he has gone in the previous vs this one. Things he is faced with and emotions behind them, really make you feel. As the Traveler did as well. it was not all candy and sugar canes. The story was real as it can get and you literally feel everything! His impact though on the characters he meets in the story were truly impacting as well. I found even more so in this one than the previous. The journey you take in this one with The Traveler is one beyond your imagination! Loved this one just as much as I did with the previous novel!

If you didn’t get the wonderful enjoyment of the previous book in the series, I do say you should look into it. I really loved this one, and I certainly highly recommend this book as well as the series to anyone that wants an out of this world adventure. And defiantly look up the author, their a high recommendation too!
