The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria Book 1) by Kay L. Moody is YA fantasy book. There are actually four stories in this one book – The Ice Crown, The Wind Crown, The Dust Crown and The Fire Crown. Bargain. Hidden secrets, hidden agendas, lots of danger and lots of twists are just some of what you can expect in this series. The world building is done well but. You love some and love to hate some, some you wanted to hug and some you wanted to slap. There is betrayal and deception, lies and secrets and magic and mayhem. The plot is well written and the suspense and intrigue keep you turning pages but it is over quickly as they are very short novellas. Kay has given us an exciting new world and takes us on a journey.
Talise finds herself in a world in which you have to fight for what you want. It is a little emotional and will make your heartache at times but I loved Talise’s vulnerability but also her strength and fiery determination. Talise is only seven years old when she is to perform before strangers. Her mother wants her to have a good life and the only way to do that is to prove her worth at the Academy. Coming from the Storm, a place where no one wants to live, a place where you waste away and die in the wasteland where nothing grows.

Ashes of Aldyr was a really good book! The world building is so intricate and the characters are very well written and well done. This book is divided into different sections with different characters and stories that all center around one main ot and it’s just really unique and well done. This definitely a darker fantasy book, almost horror like in the way certain events are described. This book gave me chills and kept me up reading. This is an entirely new author to me and I’m so glad I picked this book up. I can’t wait to read the next book in this trilogy!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy smokes, this book is great! I barely even noticed that it is 4 novellas in one – the story flows seamlessly. Talise comes from the very impoverished area called The Storm, but is determined to win the coveted title of Master Shaper so that she can escape poverty for good. Her powers to shape the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are almost unparalleled. She is a strong heroine with awesome powers that provide lots of excitement in the story. Aaden, the prickly new student, is possibly equal to her abilities, and so they are tested together in a fight for the right to stay in The Crown, the richest area of Kamdaria. Lots of twists and turns in this book that kept me hooked. I finished and immediately bought the sequel, Elements of the Gate. Buy this book!

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors

By C. L. Schneider

This book is amazing … Murder mysteries are my kind of book and this one has you wondering what’s going on the whole time… I listened to the audible book and it was really good. I enjoyed the voices, the narrator really did capture the book.

Ashes of Aldyr is a dark and disturbing work. The language struck me immediately – it is dripping with imagery that is terrifying and putrid. The stories, collectively, weave together a hellish world where dark magic abounds, and souls are ripped away into the inky black. At the centre of this is an ancient tome called The Dread Praises, which is the key to all the madness. Can the evil be stopped before everything is lost? Give it a read to find out.

This is the third book in The Girl and the Raven series. While I enjoyed the first two books, I loved this book. I felt like there was more heart within these pages.

Well to start off I love the narration from Cassandra King. She always makes every character different and it makes the listening experience so amazing.

This is my first book from C.L. Schneider but it will not be my last. The way that the characters are described and the flow of the story makes you want more.

From chasing Banshee’s to traveling between the world of humans and the world of supernatural. This story had me wanting to read the rest of the series to know everything that happened.

I love everything about this series and this book immediately pulled me straight back into it. The story is exciting and fast paced just like the previous ones. And yet it has such a distinguishable story that it stands out as its own. I was pulled back into the life of Dahlia with such ease. She is genuinely one of the best characters I have ever read.
<span;>Tha author had created such a strong castbid characters – my favourite changes on a chapter by chapter basis! This is such an incredible series and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I love fantasy and horror books. This seemed like a mixture of both so I was excited to read it. It ended up not being what I expected. The same theme flows throughout the novel but it is like a bunch of short stories put together to form one book. The world of Alda is dying. Monstrosities abound and atrocities occur daily. Each story shows different events happening to different people. I enjoyed the story about the garden and the lady of the tower. These stories occurred more towards the beginning of the book and unfortunately the rest didn’t capture my attention. The stories were too short for me to get attached to the characters therefore I honestly couldn’t care less what happened to them. I couldn’t finish the book. I completely lost interest. This book wasn’t for me personally but it is well written and unique. I’m sure there are many readers who would enjoy it.

This is the last of the books in this series and while I will miss reading about these characters, I would have to say this was the best book by far. I will say that if you haven’t read any of the books it is important to read them in order so that you will understand the characters and their story. In this book you finally see the main character come into her full self and become the person that she is mean to be. She is finally able to accept her abilities and use them to her advantage. I’ve been waiting for that to happen. This author is an amazing writer. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and she has me seeing everything going on. It’s like the story jumps off the page and onto my TV screen. The characters and their relationships are so realistic and relatable that I don’t think anyone could be disappointed in this book series.

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by C. L. Schneider

Nite Fire : Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) Audio Book by C.L. Schneider is a paranormal fantasy that once you start listening to it you won’t want to stop. The narrator does an amazing job bringing the story and characters to life. I loved how she’d change her tone for the characters and I find listening to her so soothing. This is a story that is packed with shape shifters who are hidden to lots of action. If you haven’t already started this series I highly recommend reading/listening to this whole series each one is just as good as this one. There’s plenty of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. Get ready to be taken on quite the journey with Dahlia and Detective Alex. There’s a lot going and plenty of secrets that need to stay hidden. What will happen if they are exposed? I highly recommend listening to this to find out what happens next and Can Dahlia keep secrets hidden I can’t wait for more.

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Thorne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey. This is the first book I have read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised. I must say his work reminded me of JK Tolkien the hobbit works. This dark tale is steeped in evil causing havoc in the new world that Russell has created. The delicate and multilayered threads that have been painstakingly weaved together has become an intriguing and engrossing read.
It’s a great, fast-paced narrative that has enough Tolkien to be familiar yet not be a cut-and-paste copy. The story is riveting and you’ll find yourself wondering what comes next. There are small issues with the story but these are not glaring for those who enjoy good plotlines.

Not only is she thrust into a new life in a new city, she must now navigate the fact that she is a half demon, half witch. Her life in Tennessee in the trailer park did not prepare Lucy for life in the fast lane in Chicago.

If you are a fan of The Vampire Academy Series then this is the book for you.
This is my favorite genre, you can never go wrong with an amazing young adult series.
Finally we have true originality a story of a half vampire half witch.
I love a good hybrid, very L.J Smith with a high school trope.
Five stars and this is a keeper.
You have a kid that doesn’t fit in, and what is she going to do about her powers.
Now this is just book one of this series and Copeland does not disappoint.
Give me more! Copeland is giving Cassandra Clare a run for her money with this.
As a collector I am not letting this series slip away.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! This story gripped me from the beginning. The Last Dunann is a story that is part of the Titanian chronicles which focuses on two lovers; Kailen and Talaith.. This book has well written out world building, and the author does well in explaining the many different supernatural’s that are in this book. I thought the book flowed very well and could tell that the author had a specific story she wanted to get across to her audience through Kailen and Talaith. Speaking of the characters, I enjoyed the love story between the two. Kailen who is the Last Dunann experienced great loss which affected him as the years went by. He felt as love could never be reached by him, and he came to accept this ideology. However, Talaith, a powerful sorceress with very rare magic, sees Kailen and immediately understands that he is hers, and that she will change his mind about love and that he is capable of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of this book and can’t wait to continuing reading Ms. Saccenti’s work!

So yeah, I really loved this, like really really loved this. It been a while since I got properly stuck into a meaty fantasy and this just ticked all the boxes, which I’ve got to say made me super happy. Reading this little ray of awesome kind of made we want to hunt down more of Saccenti’s work because honestly, I do have to love her writing style. She’s got a way where you drop into the story and bam, its just there in front of your eyes, all vivid and sparkly and unleavable, because seriously I couldn’t put this bad boy down.
This being the 3rd book in a series I hadn’t, up until this point, read meant that there were some things that sort of nearly flew over my head, but if anything, it just made me want to read the other installments to get more of the awesomeness.
So, the up and the down is that Kailen, last dude remaining from his people on his current plain, after helping send the rest of them on their merry way to Tir na nÓg. The price for this however was for him to stay and pledge his fierce sword to the Seelie Court and after a bit, the Titanians. There’s lots of stuff in Kailen’s past, lots of pain, and heartbreak and of course really powerful badass druid sorceress’ that just so happen to run into him again. I’m talking about Talaith, and I love her!!
I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone that loves fantasy, loves romance, sod it anyone that loves reading and wants to stick something beautiful in front of their faces. You will love it, honestly.

The story is great and I really enjoyed it! That being said I do wish the POV were more distinctive so I knew who was speaking at all times. It got confusing at times as to whose brain I was in, but the story is still a great one! I do recommend you read this just be prepared for sudden jumps in perspective! It did not ruin the story as a whole at all and I did really enjoy reading this once I got acclimate to the different POV!

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is a well written story that took me on an adventure of magic and creative characters that made the story fun and entertaining to read. The characters are not only relatable but brought the story to life on each page. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and hard to put down. Alda is a world that is broken and as a result of that the magical tree and Elf-kind are dying. Creatures and humans are hiding out in their homes. What happens next you will need to read this book to find out. There is a lot happening but the author did a great job of keeping details straight and not confusing. It is worth the pick up and I am glad that I did. I really enjoyed the adventure it took me on and highly recommend this book.

It just sweeps you up with the story and pulls you along for the ride. It is the first book that I have read by this author and it is a fantastic introduction. This is easily one of the strongest starts to a series I have read for a long time and I cannot wait to get my hands on book two.

I really enjoyed this first book in The Obsecured Throne Trilogy. The author has a fantastic way of writing that makes the story believable even though the characters are mystical. This is a really dark fantasy adventure that keeps you gripped from the beginning and doesn’t let go. At first I found it a bit confusing as it is a story with different characters and than spans time, however it wasn’t so complicated that it was hard to read.

This is a story that will drag you in. It is the first story in a while that I have truelly lost myself in. I lost all concept of time while reading this  book as I couldn’t put it down without knowing what was going to happen next. I really can’t wait to read the next book in this Trilogy.

“He looked to his left at the aldyr tree that grew precariously near the edge of that mighty drop. It should have remained blooming throughout the fall and winter despite cold, darkness, and snow. Now, it was dead—a lifeless reminder of what was happening to his world. Lush and full of timeless vigor, the aldyrs are sacred to the world. Now, they all lay dry and lifeless; broken like the world that once was.”

Ashes of Aldyr is the first book in The Obscured Throne Trilogy by Russell Archey. This is my first read by Mr. Archey, so I really didn’t know what to expect from his work- but the title , cover and blurb captured my attention, so I grabbed a copy and set off to explore.
This is a really great start to the trilogy- which, if this book is anything to go by, looks set to be fantastic. I loved Mr. Archey’s darker take on an epic fantasy story- weaving an action-packed adventure I won’t soon forget. He has a bold and dynamic style that really works well with this genre. His world building skills are also excellent- crafting a world that came to life before my eyes. It was so easy to imagine everything he was describing, like it was playing out on a screen, not merely words written on a page. I can see this making a great movie or television series.
This is a bit of a multi-layered story- with a bit of a dystopian feel in places. The storyline is quite original, with lots of dramatic developments and other clever and unique touches that made the story an intense page turner. I started the story thinking I would just read a few chapters and then go to bed- well, several hours later and wayyy past my bedtime, I finally finished and came up for air. Sleep is over-rated…. right?.
This is a series I definitely want to continue…. I am hooked and can’t wait for more- the sooner the better!
If you love fantasy with a darker, edgier feel- then this is definitely the book/series for you!
Bring on Book #2!

Thank you, Russell Archey!

This book literally had me hooked right from the start! I can not begin to say how good and amazing this book was as well as the this amazing author’s writing. I felt I was right there with the story as well as enduring the dark danger that lurked near by! his was a must read for sure, highly recommended!

In truth, these branches were sacred. They each had a piece of life, and had t be protected and upheld, power comes with a price, and if the wrong hands were to obtain it, who knows what would happen right? The story as well as the branches the story and plot weaved, were so convincing and griping, I was sucked in learning and questioning all things. I loved the take on the fantasy mixed with some horror. This book had quickly become of my favorites. I loved this amazing novel, there was a lot of wonderment and suspense for me upon reading, and I could not put this down, I had more answers to seek!

This is a novel that is the start of a new series, and I will defiantly with an anxious heart be waiting for the next installment. This is a book that you really need to read, and to truly understand my love for this book to feel the feelings I had upon reading, the characters and their stories, it can truly be felt from the reader. The author knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote this! Yes, I was highly impressed the story keeps you interested and brings more things to light when you think you have figured something out, its gripping and full of amazement even at the dark moments!

The book is a perfect blend of fantasy for my linking, and the hint of darkness and horror was very much welcomes. I was on the edge of my seat for the duration I was hooked right in from the beginning and I could not let go, perhaps I was held together by branches of something pulling me back? All I know is that this book surpassed my expectations and truly was awesome! High recommendation for this book!

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors (Book 3) by C. L. Schneider was another exciting installment in the Nite Fire series. Once again we follow Dahlia Nite as she helps to solve the mysteries within her city. Armed with her new sidekick, Officer Evans, she unravels the secrets of an underground market and the impending doom of the blight that is encroaching on the many worlds. I once again found myself cheering on the characters as they are put into situations that test their limits and feel their pain when life is lost. The narrator.is perfect for the series and I hope sh continues for the next book. I will be anxiously awaiting book 4.

I’ve drifted away from YAs because the teenage drama isn’t relatable for me. Even when I was a teen it was still hard to relate to because I always thought the characters were just immature. But Alena is a well developed mature character that I can actually empathize. The story takes paranormal to a different place with the main character being a hybrid witch/vamp. Very fun read and can’t wait to read the 2nd book.

Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey
Genre – Dark Fantasy, Horror, Fantasy
Page Count – 358 pages
Cover Designer – Marianne Nowicki
“The world of Alda is broken, destroyed by an event the survivors call “The Rupture.” The aldyrs, magical trees connected to the soul of the world which once grew in breathtaking groves, are dead. Elf-kind, who shared a close bond with these trees, are dying out as a result. The dwarves have retreated into their mountain homes. Humans gather in crumbling settlements. Sinister, god-like beings, each uniquely horrific, exert their influences over the world. Each story is a different thread forming a larger tapestry that shows the scope of the horror and insanity brought by the elusive and mind-numbing entity known as the Obscure Throne. The world was once saved from this threat and Alda was hidden and sealed away by 55 seals. Now, an ancient and shadowy cult called the Black Gnarl have broken enough seals to expose Alda to the Obscure Throne…and It’s coming.”
