“Kingdom of Embers: Extended Finale” (Kingdom Journals Book 1) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Jeannie Anderson

I love the worlds that Tricia Copeland fabricates, as they are pure magic. I adored the heroine, Alena, from page one, although all of the characters are extremely rich and intriguing. Alena, for only being seventeen, is an extremely mature and well rounded character. The attention to detail in the realm building process and story development is phenomenal! I cannot wait to read the next installment in Alena and Hunter’s story.

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

So to start off, I didn’t know about the first two books, but I am definitely going to go back and listen to them. CL Schneider was able to have it where I understood it all. The main Character Dahlia has a lot to uncover and work on with missing creatures of all kinds, masked men who are very flexible, and her friends sister still missing. With her human work, she investigates to find all she is looking for. This series is absolutely fascinating with all the different creatures, realms, and adventure. I can’t wait to finish the rest!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It breaks my heart to write this review as we conclude this wonderful series. If there was ever a series that made you wish for more this would be it. Having a teenager of my own it has been wonderful following Lucy as she grows comfortable with who she is and the forces that have shaped her.
In this last book Marcus must go out of town due to a familial obligation and her father Jude is still out of town on his own mission. You would think that with these powerful men out of her life temporarily things might slow down for a bit. That doesn’t happen as one of the mean girls in her friend group performs a séance and accidentally unleashes an evil entity on their city. Lucy must reveal her secret powers to save her friends after coming to the realization that they are like family to her even the ones that don’t like her all that much. While Lucy tries to protect her friends and they try to protect her she catches some unwanted demonic attention. Can she protect her friends or is their city going to hell in a handbasket literally? This is a must-read series that will leave you hooked through the very end!

This second book in this series leaves off with the first as Lucy comes to terms with her father and maybe he’s not all that evil for a demon that is. But what about her other half, the witch side of her bloodline, it hasn’t had it’s awakening yet and what will happen when it does.
In this book we’re introduced to some new characters and new dimensions of the characters from the first book. First off, we finally get to meet Marcus’ parent when they come back into town, but their ulterior motives arise when they meet Lucy for the first time. As Marcus’ father lets the news slip about coming to town to kill Jude Lucy is faced with her own mortality. Now Marcus must put his hatred for Jude and Dylan aside in order to protect Lucy again except this enemy is his own blood. Add in some surprise characters that may tip the scales, but which side will come out on top? The next step in every great relationship is meeting the parents but did Lucy and Marcus bite off more than they could chew? This book should be on everyone’s must read list right after the first book in this series, they are that good!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely a modern retelling of good vs. evil with twists and turns that make this one book you won’t want to put down. This book reminds me of a coming-of-age story for Lucy who not only survives a difficult childhood but has to come to terms with things not being what they seem.
The characters in this book are well thought out and multi-dimensional. The way they interact with each other through the book is witty and emotional. Lucy who loses her mom and moves in with her two uncles into her grandmother’s flat comes face to face with a new reality she never knew existed. Throw into the mix a father she has never met, the crazy aunt upstairs, a brooding boyfriend, a friend group that at times are more enemy than friend, and Dylan a guy that only seems to bring trouble and you have a recipe for disaster. But when Lucy falls into danger can they all come together to save her life? Is everything always good vs. evil or does some grey in between area exist? This is one book you definitely need to read; you won’t regret it.

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

This is not my first audible by this author but it is one of my favorites yet.  I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life using different tones of voices.  They kept the story engaging and had me want to listen to more.  It is a great story where the characters come to life with each word.  It is a story that is full of action from shapeshifters to creatures that lay hidden in the night.   Dahlia and Alex are great characters.  Secrets and killings, Dahlia has her hands full. But what will happen when worlds collide and secrets struggle to stay hidden? I highly recommend this audible, you won’t regret picking it up.

Nite Fire Smoke and Mirrors (Nite Fire #3) Audio Book by C.L. Schneider
4 Stars!!!!

How do you make a book better? You make an audio versio. This brings the book to more places and makes it easy for the reader to enjoy as they travel in their cars or are walking. The author has really got such a refreshing style. The characters are brought to life via the narrators voice. I felt as though I was right in the action as the drama unfolds.

I really find that I am drawn to Dahlia’s character. The way that the journey unfolds just draws you deeper and deeper into the story. I really like that it is a supernatural mystery. The mix of human and supernatural beings just adds to the story. The partnership of Dahlia and Creed really adds to the drama. Evens being a human and coping in the Supernatural world is just another added bonus. I really like how the author draws out the drama and the mystery . I will definitely be reading more from this author and I hope this series in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I seriously got into this book! What do you get when you cross a witch and a vampire? A recipe for a very strange senior year of highschool. Alenda Scott isn’t like other girls but has to appear that way in order to fly under the radar. Her mother, the Queen of the vampires, is overprotective and doesn’t allow her daughter too many freedoms and isn’t allowed to date. Enter several boys who would like to hold the position of boyfriend.

Alena is a very strong willed character who knows her own mind. She trains hard at her mother’s request but she is ready to push the boundaries of what she is allowed to do.

She meets Nick, a new boy at her school who is interested in her but she isn’t sure where her feelings lie with him. Hunter is her imaginary friend from childhood who turns out to be a real person. Sparks fly between the two of them.

I look forward to future installments by Tricia Copeland.

This is the first time that I can recall that I have read Ms. Copeland. I am a fan of both Vampire Diaries and Mortal Instruments so this book caught my attention based on that comparison. I had so happy that it lived up to it and more. My heart went out to Alena and was excited to see her grow as a character. I don’t even have the words to talk about her “imaginary friend” Chase. This book kept me captivated the whole through and was definitely worth the read if you enjoyed the other two series that it was compared to.

Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals Book 1) by Tricia Copeland is one of the best books I have read this year. Once again Copeland gives us phenomenal characters, a terrific plot, and so many other intricate details that she’ll pull you in with one chapter and you’ll be at the end before you know it. Filled with witches, magical abilities and so much more, Copeland pulls us into a magical world once again. While Copland introduces us to several unique characters she brings out primary focus on seventeen year old Alena who is tired of following all of the strict rules and pretending to be someone she’s not. But when Alena starts to uncover the mysteries that she’s been questioning for years will she be able to handle the answers? Will she and her friend be able to undo what’s been done before it’s to late? You’ll have to read Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals Book 1) by Tricia Copeland for yourself to find out.

It’s not my usual genre, but I really enjoyed this book! I always love when an author is able to bring something new to a subject that has been written about many times. This book goes beyond the classic things you’ve read about vampires before. This was a quick and easy read, but very attention grabbing at the same time. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I love vampire lore and this book had some different mythological aspects to it. Brining in the significance of the solstice as well as a trinity of players was a really interesting touch. I really liked the fiesty creature that Alena is and how she searching for answers to the questions she is not yet privy to have resolution for. I like her relationship with Hunter and really thought the twist at the end was good. I would love to dive more into her story, her relationship with her mother and what’s to come in the next 6 months as she prepares to turn 18. I would definitely read more by this author.

I enjoy novels about vampires and witches, so Tricia Copeland’s novel Kingdom of Embers hit the mark for me. Because vampire lore and stories have been around for years, it is always exciting to be introduced to a new take on that lore. Tricia Copeland has created a vibrant world and a really intriguing story. Alena’s story has adventure and was exciting to read. I look forward to reading the next chapter of this series.

Another great book in this series. The problems that arise and how Lucy is able to figure it out and solve is so amazing. Lucy a very smart strong welled girl that doesn’t let anything or anyone stand in her way. I love how Lucy can work thou a problem and figure out how to solve it. This book was filled with demons, backstabbing, butyral, and heart ache. But it also is filled with love from her uncles and friends, good ending, friendship, compassion, and understanding. These books feel so much like your back in high school, the way everyone is, friendships, relationships and how things will work out. How Lucy needs to learn to control herself without having to tell anyone what she can do and what she is, you can almost feel the pain that if she does if she would loss everything, but when it does her friends are so helpful and understanding that this friendship will be strong to come. I really hope there will be more to this series and the problems and fun that Lucy will bring in her next adventures.

I went through every emotion with her. My anticipation for what comes next is through the roof. Alena is such an amazing character. If you love the supernatural, young adult, or fantasy stories I highly recommend these books and this author. I’m off to go read the next book.

Kingdom of Embers is a fresh twist on the typical paranormal story. A hybrid child, Alena struggles to be as normal a teenager as possible, and Tricia Copeland did a fantastic job portraying that fight for balance. There’s a unique world that’s been built, and everything worked so well together. The story has an amazing attention to detail. Everything flowed so wonderfully, and I found myself invested rather quickly. Kingdom of Embers is the first book I’ve read from Ms. Copeland, but it certainly isn’t the last.

Tricia, you did it again!! This is another amazing series already! You have Alena Scott, Half Vampire Half Witch, who has to hide that fact from the world while living among humans and going to school with them. She meets new friends, as well as an old friend who she thought was her imagination. From there, we then escalate to more scenarios where she goes and meets vampires that help her belong as well as learning spells to help her on her witch side. In the background, a war is brewing, and now they have a lot on their plate. The Drama, love, family and friendship in this story is already so great and I can tell just the beginning! I can’t wait to finish this series!! 🙂

This was a great YA paranormal story. I loved the author’s writing, it really drags you into the story and doesn’t let go. The main character of Alena is really well written. She is a very strong and determined character. I like the mixture of paranormal characters and how they are all connected. The story is full of mystery and discovery.

All Alena  wants is to be a normal teenage girl, however that isn’t possible. As a half vampire/half witch hybrid she isn’t even supposed to exist. When she is moved to another new school by her mother she has to try and act like a normal girl which isn’t easy with the complications of making new friends, her new feelings towards a human boy and finding out that her imaginary friend wasn’t imaginary at all.

Things get even more complicated as Alena and Hunter search for answers to why they are connected and how leading them on a journey of discovery which leads them to discover the answer to an ancient curse.

Well what is there to say about Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland….. hmmm.
Well for starters I couldn’t put it down. I loved everything about it, but the end. It felt rushed, but in saying that I can’t wait for book 2.
Alena, a hybrid witch-vampire, a forbidden creature that needs to be kept hidden. Does everything she can to act as normal as possible to those around her. Her dynamic with football player Nick felt forced. Her dynamic with Hunter though was amazing. There’s a lot more in store for these two in the future.
The character development is crazy good, and again I loved every minute of this book but the end. I wish I could read book 2 right now because this is definitely a series I’m going to follow and read more than once!

The third book in this trilogy was the best! Lucy and her friends are left alone to deal with the demon that is out to kill her! Her father is running hell, Lucifer is walking the earth and her boyfriend Marcus is away dealing with his family! Lucy had to tell her friends what is going on and their love and loyalty for her lead them to do something dangerous to help her defend herself. Danger can come from any direction. Lucy and Marcus’s relationship is strained. This book is a page turner! A great finish to the trilogy!

Hogwarts, Narnia, Forks, Alicante?? The City of Angels takes on the mysterious bent given to magical places! A supernatural coming of age book that is a mystical mix of everything we love about other supernatural novels. Alena, an almost 18 year old, vampire witch hybrid is rebellious, determined and a cool character. Although I believe there is way more to her than meets the eye. She is the perfect heroine for this series. Blending modern day teenage angst with ancient mythology like rules, author Tricia Copeland once again brings us such clear imagery it is as if we are there watching it happen instead of reading it.
I love fantasy type stories and this one is a great start to what is bound to be an amazing series. One of those series that has readers saying “I wish they would turn this into a 9 hour long movie not missing any details so I could watch this again and again.”
Bravo to the author!! Bravo!!

The Girl and the Demon by Pauline Gruber is a fabulous five-star read. This is number three in The Girl and the Raven series and this one adds something extra to the story, something I never imagined I would see in these three stories, and I would say do read them in order, as you get the best of the overall story following them all. Lucy has pulled many punches through the three stories, and they have been strong and this is an action packed story, one that will keep you hooked on every page. This series ends on a bag, the three stories all come to a great punch.

The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber is a fab five-star read. This is number two in The Girl and the Raven series and I would say its best to read them in order as this does build on the last story, in that one we met a few characters, in this one we get to meet more. So many more, and so much more angst in this one. There are parts that not everyone will love, but I really love it. Lucy takes us on a wild ride with this one.
