My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kissing Darkness (Dark Spell Series Book 5) by Isra Sravenheart. This book was a sit down and hold on to your hat kinda read. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. It is book 5 in the Dark Spell series but even though I haven’t read the previous books I caught on pretty quick. Its about Warlocks and Witches. Isra is a witch and she’s going to school for Warlocks and Witches. Isra was once friends with Everilda but something happened and Everilda lost all her powers and now she’s set on revenge. Astrid is a raven that is keeping a look out for Isra. There is also James who are planning on taking Isra down. Samuel has his work cut out for him to bring her to the Light. This is a story of Dark vs. Light and it keeps you guessing which way Isra is going to go. If you are craving a read that includes, romance, mystery and magic this is the read for you!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the death of her father, Harlow Fletcher leaves the life of bounty hunters and makes a new career for herself as a freelance charm collector. She’s really good at finding rare artifacts.

A sword catches her eye and she knows who might buy it. Unfortunately the sword has a life of its own and causes trouble for Harlow.

This was such a fun read and I loved Harlow. This was a fresh take on the genre and I really enjoyed reading about this world.

I hope we get book 2 soon.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the first book in a new series, and while there is some unfinished business, the main conflict of this book was solved. The world, magic, and how the two have been separated form the ‘mundane’ world is interesting and new, even with some recognizable names of supernatural people. Harlow is a likable character who makes mistakes and isn’t perfect, and the other characters we meet along the way are unique and intriguing. I loved how much character the sword has, and I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I continue to fall more and more in love with world of magic and fantasy each series I am introduced to. There is so much talent out there and I am finding so many original series to enjoy. This happens to now be one of them! Urban fantasy is an amazing genre all its own.
This book takes us in in the world of fantasy, danger, mystery, magic of course, and many delightful characters who bring their good and bad to these fantastical pages.
Lee was a character you truly fell in love with and rooted for. You could understand the things she did to survive, and appreciate her plight. This story was one of a kind and I am eager for book 2!

This was a really interesting an entertaining read! I was completely captured and enthralled while reading this novel, and I could hardly put it down. This gave me a whole new perception on fantasy/supernatural stories. The author was able to write a whole new fantasy world with supernatural characters in a way that was new and not boring. I was able to get lost in the plot while reading this novel. I immensely enjoyed this novel and I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

This book latched it’s grip onto me and had me hooked in good! I couldn’t wait to read what happened next and now I can’t wait to read the next book! Miss Fletcher is a charm “collector” and now she is in a WORLD of trouble!!! As an ex bounty hunter turned criminal, her specialty is finding rare magic-laced items. She does this by breaking into the houses of recently arrested criminals and stealing stuff for the highest bidder. It’s a pretty good gig until she loots the wrong item (a dragon sword) from the wrong basement. Within minutes of her stealing said sword, she realizes it was a HUGE mistake. The blade has a mind of it’s own and it has an anger management problem that causes Fletcher to be on the run from the government shifters and other bounty hunters. Now on the run, she has to find a way to prove her innocence, all while a murder weapon follows her around. This book really keeps you on your toes. Will she run away never to be seen? Will the murder sword turn on her!? Will it continue to kill everyone who threatens it and her? And where did it really come from? What does the government know and why are they lying about it all? Boy oh boy, read to find out!!!

First, I think the cover of the book is stunning! The story was very good and full of magic, mystery and one wild ride with a sword. Charm collector Harlow is all about finding items and sell them off. When Harlow’s “eye” finds a beautiful sword that is when the story takes off. Nothing like believing you have the person to buy the sword but the sword itself has a mind of its own. After being blamed for crimes she tries to find out what the sword is truly trying to bring. Mix in action, adventure, crime ……. This story was fun to read.

Harlow comes from a family of bounty hunters and that’s what she’s always known. She like to collect charms as well as sell items that she finds to the highest bidder. She comes upon a sword at one of her locations, and ever since she took hold of it, it’s been a run since. She has to prove her innocence while controlling this weapon. It’s truly a great book to this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There has been a war between light and dark and dark has won.
I wish I could read book 1-4.
This is a beautiful story of love and mystery.
Magic can change the fate of one or all.
So many points of view and different stories.
You never know what could happen and it is fast paced from the very beginning.
Lies and adventure is pretty much an understatement.
The main plot is so gripping that you can read this over and over.
A great original a great story for recommending.
This is anew author to me and I am all in.
Five stars I would give it more if I could.

Paranormal shifters, deliciously described food, and romance bring a great combination to this new series. This is a new author to me and I was pleasantly surprised by the story and world-building. I enjoyed the incorporation of Maori food and mythology. Also, the main characters Ember and Austin were a wonderful couple that I wanted to see have the best of lives. I really enjoyed the story and want to try some of the food described. I’m excited because this was the first book in a series and look forward to reading more in this series.

Harlow, a charm collector spends her days obtaining and then selling illegal artifacts. When a big name in her world gets arrested, she quickly goes to his warehouse to collect anything of interest to her. While there she comes across a sentient sword and shortly thereafter she is a wanted woman on the run.
This was urban fantasy at its finest. Excellent world building, really likable characters and spot on pace. May cannot come soon enough. Putting my pre-order in NOW.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isra Sravenheart has become one of the authors that I do not hesitate to pick up her books.I have followed this series from the first book and they keep getting better. Her storytelling keeps me wanting more. Kissing Darkness is the fifth book in the Dark Spell series. Her story is fast-paced, but it is satisfying to read. It is a story filled with witches, magic, agendas, and deception. When you think that the story is going in one direction it makes a turn out of right field. The characters are fully developed and interesting to read about. Irsa is at it again. She has given her heart to the darkness. Astrid is still watching over Irsa. Does Astrid have her hands full? What trouble does Irsa bring this time? Who is Samuel and how does he fit into the picture? I highly recommend this book and the previous 4 books. I will warn you that you may not be able to put this book down until the last word on the last page of this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really loved this story of a traveller. It was engaging and entertaining. The author made the story realistic that you could imagine it really happening. The concept of the traveller being a spider was a unique twist and made the story more entertaining seeing things from that point of view.

It’s a story full of adventure and time travel. I love how the traveler has travelled over space and time to learn all he can  about humans. And then he meets Tristan and he tries to make him see the world through his eyes. But Tristan is deathly afraid of spiders which is the the travellers new form so the relationship gets off to a rocky start.
The traveller needs to tell his story and Tristian is a willing listener. The traveller takes him on on adventure through time and space to understand who he really is. He’s not a spider but not a robot. But will his story be too much for Tristian to hear?
Will Tristian listen to him or will he turn his back on him like so many have before. Will Tristan learn from him or will his self absorbed ways rule him.

It’s a great fast paced story that keeps you gripped wondering what happened next and how they can make their unlikely friendship work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lee, the main character, is a thief. Not only is she good at her job but she in indispensable because of the magic she has. Lee can enter another realm called the ‘ Liminal Realm’. When she enters this realm, she can travel without being seen or heard.

Unfortunately, Lee hates her abilities. Being a Liminal has shortened her life significantly and she is tired of it. She will do anything to be healed. In order to do so, she needs to meet the ‘Ceteri’, who are the beings that have introduced magic to the inhabitants of Earth.

In this novel, we follow Lee in her adventure to find the Ceteri while getting weaker with every use of her power. Not only that but the FBI are also tracking her. It was a very interesting read. I will be looking into the other books of this series for sure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thief of Magic is a great fantasy novel with lots of action and interesting characters. Our heroine, Lee, is bright, tough, and singularly driven to do whatever it takes to avoid her fate. Growing up without parents, and having to steal to survive, she is resourceful and pragmatic, but also slow to trust anyone. When the new teammate joins the crew, he seems inordinately interested in her movements and motivations. His interest makes her uncomfortable, but she needs his help to complete the jobs and earn the money for her plan. There are plenty of exciting heist scenes, complete with otherworldly magic and powers. Lee’s race to find a cure provides excellent drama and suspense to keep the reader interested. I highly recommend this read.

This is the first time I have heard of this author but I love all things magical and decided to give this urban fantasy a try. I am really glad I did though because this book was phenomenal. The character development was wonderful including the sentient sword that the author was able to describe and make the sword come to life in such a way. The world building was fantastic and made it seem as though anyone could visit Luma.

We start off meeting Harlow, your typical human living amongst magical creatures just trying to get by. After losing her parents she uses her dad’s tools of his trade to find her own albeit illegal enterprise in order to survive. She becomes a charm collector which entails showing up after notorious magical artifact collectors are apprehended to loot their stash of magical artifacts and sell them to her own list of clientele. This score was the one she had been waiting for and everything goes smoothly until she follows a hutch and takes the dragon sword. From there her life goes haywire as this sentient sword has a mind of its own and has taken a shine to Harlow. One day it simply vanishes from her apartment and Harlow counts her lucky stars until she is accused of murder and the sword once again finds its way into her possession covered in blood. Now she is on the run and must prove her innocence before she ends up behind bars for a murder she did not commit. This book has it all: action, adventure, plus a good mystery to boot. I would encourage everyone to take a chance on this book, I just know you’ll become hooked just like I was!

This is a new author to me but one I can certainly see myself reading more of in the future. This is a great sci-fi book that is worth the read.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This fantasy had a darkness to it that I just adored. A tale all about addiction, hate, pain and how sometimes the right thing does not always look wonderful.
Ian Troy is a Shinree magic-user who happened to be on really good terms with the Warrior Queen who led the Rellan Army. His views on the way the war should be fought differs somewhat t hers and in order to bring piece he wields an old relic that, while it does the job he intended, comes at a pretty hefty price. Years later and Ian is still reeling and still trying to run away from everything that he is.
Honestly, I loved this, its so dark and grim and has an edge to it that is enthralling. The world-building is impressive and leads to something utterly magical. Would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more of the series. Schneider is an incredibly talented author.

The book is a fantasy book which is what I like about it. Isra was a wonderful character that simply is amazing with lots of wonder, towards everything that she encountered. I was so lost into this world that this book brought to life! I could not get enough and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story is a supernatural shifter story and the second exciting book in this action-adventure series. You really need to read these books in order, or you are missing so much on the characters and the world the author has created. The writing and the word building are such that you can easily and vividly imagine the characters and their unique. The humour, the intrigue, the danger, and the action will keep you enthralled right to the end. The story takes you on a journey where not everything is as it seems.
Our Heroine, Dahlia Nite is half human half dragon and is a sassy assassin who fights to protect humans. Dahlia and Detective Alex Creed find themselves investigating a mysterious ailment that is leaving death in its wake and nobody is safe.

This story has you on edge with all the twists and turns but you are not going to want to put it down.

I listened to the audiobook while following along with the ebook. I really enjoyed it, but I probably wouldn’t do it like that again. The Narrator has a very creative reading style and does an amazing job with the the different character voices!

I was drawn in by the synopsis, but found it hard to get into the book. I had to take a couple breaks and a few times paused the audiobook to reread some pages. With that being said, once getting halfway through the book, the Author definitely hit their stride and has me wanting more.

The Author does a fantastic job with main character, Ian Troy, and his struggle with the suffering and heartbreaks he continually faces. The world in which he lives and all the past and continuing pain, makes this book a heavier, darker toned read.

Although I have read many fantasy novels, the Author has a very unique take on magic, and how it works. I have high hopes for the next two books in the series and I look forward to reading more works by this author!

Thief of Magic (Shadowed Minds, #1)Thief of Magic by Bree Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this book! It is a fast-paced read that keeps you turning the page. In the book the main protagonists are Lee and Adam or “Finn”. Lee is one of the people on earth that got magical abilities after a magical solar flare affected both earth and the population. Lee’s specific ability causes her to become weak and sick the longer she uses them. The adverse effects are compared to a cancer that is slowly killing her. Her actual magic ability consists of ‘surfing’ magical lay lines causing her to travel somewhere in an instant. She can also go into a different world or energy field on earth that can make her disappear from sight. Adam is a detective trying to figure a way to reverse magic in people to bring more stability back to earth. To do this he needs a specific type of magic, a person who is a Limnel which is exactly what Lee is. Adam goes undercover within a thief crew that Lee is in, to capture her. I quite enjoyed that dynamic between Adam and Lee, and the growth between the two. Along the way are many twists and turns that many readers will enjoy! I highly recommend this read.
