So nothing rains on a normal parade than being kidnapped by a bunch of elves along with your godmother, the same godmother that has told you all your life that you are absolutely normal. To be honest, I would get suspicious by such an assertion made so many times, but Maya doesn’t notice how shady this is till she is knee-deep in pointy-eared problems and gets out of it by some mysterious power that she had been assured all her life was not a thing. Not long after these massive bombshells exploded in her lap and blew any chance of normality out of the water, her godmother (name of Anna by the way) tells her to go and find the owner of a magical bar by the name of Soren. I have to say, I quite liked the name Soren for a male lead, was obscure but not to the point that you got the impression the author had pored through a book of weird baby names that no one ever thought of. When Maya and Soren meet, sparks fly, stars align and they connect, with Soren realising that, even though it had never been in the scrolls for him, that she is his mate and will literally do anything to protect her. I really liked this, especially the fantasy elements. I especially liked the moments in the bar, wished it were somewhere that actually existed where I could just pop off to for drink, but alas with the way things are that is a fantasy. I think that Saccenti has created something really interesting here and look forward to reading more of her work.
Maya is a woman brought up in New York by her godmother Anna, she is street smart, independent and loves her job and has been brought up on fairytales which common sense denied could not be true, but all that changes when she and Anna are kidnapped by Elves and in order to escape, her godmother has to reveal some of her past which has been kept a secret for many years and tells her to head straight to a bar and ask for a man called Soren when she gets there. This is all too much for Maya to take in, but when she has to go, she does exactly as Anna asks, even though she wants to return to the apartment first, so with nothing but the clothes on her back, she escapes and with full awareness that the elves will be following her as soon as they realise she has gone, however, when she gets to the bar, it isn’t what she expected and neither is the man she finds there, or the effect he has on her.
Soren has been summoned to the pub and as he enters, the patrons either disperse or are blinded to their arrival if they are human, this makes it easier to scan them and take their drinks upstairs so they can keep a look out for why their presences were required, it all seems normal until a well known elf comes in, but this normal in the least and when he is joined by a demon and a human, it is even less so and the discussion they have is even more disturbing the longer it goes on, this puts Soren on alert and he calls on a friend to share this new piece of information. As soon as someone is sent to follow each of the leads, Soren returns to his drink, that is until a woman walks in the door and his body reacts instantly, he doesn’t know what is happening to him until his tattoo starts to tingle and he realises that his mate has just walked in, this is a complete surprise as his life scroll has never revealed a mate, but he is going to protect her with his life of he needs to and when she faints as soon as she looks at him, her fate is sealed as well. He immediately takes her to his home and meets up with his family and friends to update them on the situation while waiting for the ones he sent out to return and fill them in on their finds, but when one goes missing, it becomes a race against time to find them.
As the group find out more about the danger they are in and what the enemy is planning, the budding relationship between Maya and Soren develops, as does Maya’s Phoenix mark, she is having a hard time processing it all and is thankful for all the help she is getting from others, but when she starts to come into powers of her own, the group must try and keep the information to themselves as any inklings of it getting to the enemy will spell their downfall.
Will Maya and Soren work things out and be able to complete their bond before time runs out, or will the enemy play their cards right and stop whatever they may have in its tracks? Will they be able to defeat their enemy when the need arises, or will the casualty numbers grow before they can do anything about it? This is a story of romance, love, revelations and relationships which are tested to their breaking point, it is an adventure with more secrets than the characters can handle and a lot of action, but to know what happens, you have to read to the end and enjoy the revelations as they come!
What an incredible start to Victoria Saccenti’s newest series! Titanian’s Phoenix is a new take on the idea of humans unknowingly coexisting alongside mythical creatures, and the power struggle between the different races of fae. Maya Brown never really payed much credence to her godmother’s stories about magic existing in the world, until she wakes up kidnapped and drawn into the middle of a struggle for power and control in the mythical world. Soren Westerberg is a Titanian Enforcer, tasked with being the final line of protection and justice in this fantastic world; it is both a birthright and a curse. He never anticipated that his life path would include a soulmate, someone who is destined to be his perfect match in all things, until Maya stumbled in to the dive bar favored by his people asking for him by name and in need of his help to evade her kidnappers. This first encounter of the story’s lead characters is the introduction to nonstop action and uncovering secrets within a world of magic.
The summer of magic happened forty years ago when Ben was just seventeen, but he’s never forgotten.
It started with rape and ended with a promise. In between things happened that Ben still didn’t understand. A man turned into a coyote, a girl danced in the air, Ben broke the law, and he fell in love for the first time.
And, when the summer ended, he made a promise that he now needs to keep.
Coyote Summer, a magical realism novel on a coming-of-age theme is about the aftermath of a sexual assault, but from the perspective of a male witness.
“The gist of the story is as listed above. But this doesn’t even touch on the beauty of the prose Koerber has a way with words, that is for sure. The imagery is staggeringly beautiful. The author paints with words. You can see, smell, taste, and hear as the lines leap off the page. … The prose, therefore, adds a beauty that transcends the darkness and reveals the light where it falls: in nature, in making right choices, in the good in the world, in healthy relationships, in standing up for the weak and powerless. ” Janelle Garret, Booknest

Well this author just smashed this book out of the park! I am impressed with the world building, characters and story line. I just couldn’t get enough. I enjoyed watching Maya take her journey and find her way. She is a smart gal and that just help enhance her in her new life. Soren is a protective, possessive guy! He is all about making sure she is safe while he leads the other enforcers.
The secondary characters are plentiful and delightful. The author does a good job not overwhelming us with a bunch of characters all at once. They are slowly introduced which helps build their characters as well as the connection to the main ones.
Overall this is excellent. The story took me on a journey and the characters kept me interested. There is lively conversations. I eagerly look forward to more!

Titanian’s Phoenix: Titanian Chronicles by Victoria Saccenti 4 Stars!!!!
I love finding new authors to read. This book was an excellent find. I find that the author has a very refreshing story as well as a nice mix of fantasy and romance along with just the right amount of drama and action. I really found myself getting lost in this book and just didn’t want it to end.
I really like the energy between Maya and Soren. I like how the blend of mythical and human is used in the book and I like how it wasn’t predictable. I like that the author is able to weave a tale and draw in the reader and keep the lure. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
Titanian’s Phoenix: Titanian Chronicles by Victoria Saccenti really took me by surprise- in a great way. Wonderfully descriptive writing really brought this story to life in rich and vivid detail. The world building is both imaginative and well crafted. It was so easy to imagine everything- almost like watching everything unfold instead of merely reading the words. This is fantasy done well- with action, adventure, a little mystery, drama, danger, paranormal elements, supernatural beings, and so much more. Maya always thought she was a ‘normal’ girl and the stories her godmother told were exactly that- just stories. But then they are kidnapped, and Maya discovers a whole world she thought of only in ‘fairytales’, really did exist. Life will never be the same, and she’s not at all ‘normal’. With evil threatening- Maya will need some help in order to overcome the odds. What happens in this adventure makes for an excellent read. Recommended for all fantasy and paranormal story fans.

I enjoyed this magical story. I have read quite a few books by this author, this one is my favorite yet. This is a well developed story that took me on a magical adventure that kept me turning pages. This story is full of action, magic and it is fast paced. This is a story of love at first sight, life mates and some unexpected things. I enjoyed the characters Maya and Soren and what they brought to the story. They really are just strong characters that have a great chemistry together. They made the story fun and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.
Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luana
This is the first series I’ve read by Luana. Phoenix Team is a great way to start for new readers. You have 6 books that are all amazing!
Zariya is the daughter of one of the Veil Force’s founders. She loses her father and soon learns her whole life is about to be turned upside down. The quote I chose for Zariya is: “It was a… misunderstanding. But do you think you could work with me on finding a way around his moves?”
Konstantin, a commander for Veil Force, finds himself in a tough situation. He finds that he cares more for Zariya than he should. Can he finally give into the little voice in his head? The quote I chose for Konstantin is: “I care about everyone here. Veil Force… what your father built here… we’re a family. We take care of our own.”

Titanian’s Phoenix: Titanian Chronicles by Victoria Saccenti – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
What an amazing adventure this story took us on. The magic, mythical beings and romance. The growth of the characters was amazing to watch. To see the bonds grow and mature into something great. Even though it was life changing for Maya she handled it well. To be told you’re different than what you have always believe is a hard pill to swallow. I love a story that can blind so much together and make it work. The story line was nice and to the point. You get to read about a place you can only dream of. A life full of adventure and change. I really like the writing style of this author will definitely be reading more.
This is a fun young adult story, that offers a positive story line to help boost confidence for readers no matter what the age. I highly recommend this book. It is worth the time, as it offers a little for everyone. The interaction between the ghosts and people work charmingly in this book.
Book 1-6 I’ve really enjoyed this series. Zariya is half Nagu, half human. She is devastated at the death of her father and puts her life on hold to find answers, leading her to a secret agency. Together with Phoenix Team, she helps uncover and eliminate supe underworld operations. Each book deals with its own operation, but they do follow on from each. The world building was really well explained and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the interactions between the team as they deal with the supe criminals, much to the annoyance of their team leader. I loved the writing style, the story is concise, well written and not dragged out. There’s nothing worse than having scenes go on for far longer than they need to. This style really helped me stay hooked on the storyline, wanting to jump into the next book straight away. This series is full of action, humour, banter, suspense and a whole lot of twists and turns.
Phoenix Team One: Selected This is an amazing start to the series. I was hooked from the first page, and I really enjoyed the world building which is a human world that knows about different supe species. Zariya is devastated after the death of her father and refuses to believe is was an accident. Her curiosity leads her to Veil Force, a secret supe special forces agency. Zariya is strong, stubborn, highly trained by her father and also refuses to give up. The other characters are so far really interesting and I can’t wait to find out more about them. The world building was explained really well.
Phoenix Team Two: Protected Book 2 continues where book 1 left off. Zariya has now joined the Phoenix team and is being sent on her first mission. Konstantin is now her boss, and she is still fighting her attraction to him, and she still hasn’t told him about her fathers help. This book is full of action as the team takes on missions and learn to work together. Zariya is slowly building bridges with her best friends and making new friends with her team, although she lacks patience and is potentially putting her team at risk with her actions, it all adds to the action and suspense of the story. There is a cliffhanger at the end.
Phoenix Team Three: Captured Book 3 continues the series and is another action packed story. Konstantin and Daevin have followed Zariya through the portal and have stumbled into an enemy base. Things don’t quite go to plan and a rescue mission is required. I really enjoy the writing of the world building in this series, it’s not too complicated to understand but it still pulls me into the story. The banter and friendships in the group bring some humour into the story and also helps understand the teams personalities better. The twist at the end was partly unexpected and I can’t wait to see what the Phoenix Team do with the information.
Phoenix Team Four:Trafficked This was another great book in the series. Another day, another mission for Phoenix Team. This time they are trying to take down a supe trafficking location, with Zariya going in undercover. I really enjoy the concise style of writing for fight scenes, nothing is dragged out, its dealt with so the story can move on. There are a few twists in this book, the agency mole is finally revealed and also someone from Konstantin’s past makes an appearance to throw a spanner in the works.
Phoenix Team Five: Revealed Continuing on from book 4, the team follow Konstantin to the supe underworld (DRC) and to his master. What they find is a lawless society held together with strict punishments. Just when the team think they’ve found the answers, more are revealed. Again this book is full of action, great characters and a continuing storyline that just keeps adding twists and keeps you in suspense. If you enjoyed the previous books, you will enjoy this one too.
Phoenix Team Six: Betrayed Book 6 starts to bring all the previous missions and intelligence together, leading to a stand off as each side stands their ground. The mole is finally revealed to the other teams and Rex returns to the home he abandoned in order to try and help his team. Again, this book is full of action, but also shows how far the team has bonded. They pull in every resource they can in order to expose the Leviathan network. I loved the ending and the epilogue, it was perfect for the Phoenix Team series. There is a great introduction to the next series for Drago Team.

This is Zariya Chanji’s story, she is a woman who is half human and half naga, a supernatural snake warrior and she has just lost her father Vizol, the official reports say that it was an accident, but in her bones, Zariya is sure that there is something more to it and decides to be reckless and find out for herself what exactly happened. The book starts with her seducing a man who works for the MASC, or the Ministry Alliance of Supernatural Creatures and making an illegal copy of his ID card so that she can break into the building, however, things go a bit wrong and she ends up going to hospital with him, but in the rush, she leaves her purse behind in the ambulance and has to call in her best friend for a rescue and when she starts to act suspiciously, Zariya decides to follow her and see what is going on, but what she discovers is that her father has been leading a double life and that he actually works for an initiative within MASC too, but when she comes across the opportunity to find out more, she becomes embroiled within the secrets herself and lands a place on the Phoenix Team.
This is where things get really interesting as this box set follows Zariya and her teammates as they investigate Vizol’s death, as well as other missions, each book focuses on one member of the team and keys you into their past, present and possibly future. All the while, Zariya is trying to fit in and get to know her place within the team with little help from those around her, as she feels betrayed by them because they were all keeping secrets from her. As she pushes people away, all she really wants is the truth to be revealed in more ways than one, but the secrets which bury deeper into the Phoenix Team and MASC as a whole than anyone realised, including past mistakes and future consequences, but will the team and Zariya be able to live long enough to uncover them all?
This is a fantasy adventure with twists, turns and non-stop action which pulls you in and makes you want to read more, but will Zariya be able to fully integrate on the team, or will her differences of opinion, fear of further betrayal and the walls around her heart stop her?

This book reminded me of Georgette Heyer novels, a simple clean regency romance with a Cindrella twist. Though I admit, Cindrella twist was not necessary, even otherwise it is a lovely story. Melinda Wychwood was successfully running her father’s estate, until he dies, when unfortunately, upon his death, the estate goes to his distant male cousin Mr. Davenport. Mrs. Davenport has a young daughter and she detests Melinda’s efficiency and beauty and tries to keep her away from the public eye. Alexander Kaye Arundell, a childhood friend of Melinda, has recently inherited a fortune and is now everyone’s eye-candy. All the eager mothers are eyeing him as a match for their daughters. Arundell along with his friend Theodore Marlowe visit the country side with a a deceitful plot of their own. Will the ploy succeed or one of the gentlemen fall in love despite all his dislike towards the matchmaking moms process? It is a very simple story and told in a very pleasant way. It is very difficult to find a sweet clean romance these days, especially retelling a romance in regency era is not easy. Minute attention has to be paid to the costumes and the accessories. I finished this book in an hour and loved every bit of it. As I said earlier, even without the fairy touch, the story would have been equally beautiful. Hope to see more such romances from this author.

An original retelling of Cinderella set in the Regency period and with a fantasy twist this is an enjoyable and intriguing read. Set in 1816’s Regency England, Melinda Wychwood was allowed to stay at her family home following her father’s death as long as she worked for her cousin as an unpaid housekeeper. Melinda is shunned by her family as she has fairy blood but her wild fairy background along with a magical dress might just be the key to her happiness. This was a short novel and a quick read but it had me gripped from start to finish and I liked the unique retelling of a well known fairytale.

This retelling of Cinderella is set in Chipping-Worth in 1816 where Melinda Wychwood is a young woman of twenty four with fairy blood, but she is shunned because of it and when her father dies and her home is taken over by distant relatives, she loses her place and becomes more of a servant than a cousin and her knowledge of running the farm and household is either ignored or used and the credit taken by others. She has friends in the older women who live nearby with whom she shares tea and refreshments, they also recognised how she was treated by her family.
At the dinner table, the family are complaining about something as usual and when Melinda is asked about it, the explanation was as usual ignored and responsibility denied, so the conversation turned to the town gossip and finds out that their neighbours son and a childhood friend of Melinda’s, Alexander is coming back to visit and so the talk turns to new dresses seeing as he is a well to do and and a bachelor to boot, this takes the attention away from Melinda and her thoughts about him.
We next meet Alexander and his friend as they are approaching their destination and decide to play a prank on his family, they decide to swap places and pretend to be the other for the duration of their trip and bet on the outcome of it. Thus, unbeknown to those around them, they play their parts, but as their trip lengthens, it becomes apparent that Melinda is not as thoroughly convinced as the others, however, believes that it is because of the years in between them seeing each other is to blame, so when the opportunity to go to an traditional annual ball, Melinda takes her cousin to the dress shop in the local town and while buying the dress for her cousin is tempted with a dress of her own, however, she politely declines the offer before leaving.
As the ball draws nearer, the temptation to get the dress so she can wear it herself to the ball increases, as does her wish that her childhood friend remembered her, but will she cotton on to the plan and get the dress, or will she remain in a loveless home with family who treat her more like a servant? The only way is to read this short story and discover the magic within the pages.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season by Claire Luna is an amazing fast paced series of Sci-Fi/fantasy short stories. Imagine a world where humans coexist with creatures like demons, fae, vampires, shape shifters, etc. There would be a need for something like the MASC (Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures) to make sure everyone is being treated fairly and the teams can come to help those in need! Each short story centers on a mission the team of 6 go to search for or help out creatures and you will want to keep reading to the end. The characters that make up the team and what they are capable of doing cements each of them as a integral member of the team. I really love the whole series of books.

This was one of those books that drew me in with the cover. I just knew I needed to read it and find out what adventure awaited the moment I set my eyes on it. I wasn’t disappointed either and this book really drew me into a magical world full of all the mystery and intrigue one could want. I loved how I felt as if I was right there with Maya as she discovered who and what she is when she is thrust into a world she never knew she would be a part of. I am excited that this will have more books to follow in the Titanian Chronicles. I will for sure be back for more of the magic and adventure. I just know they will all be worth a read after this one.
Stone of Destiny is the first book in the Juniper Samoni Trilogy. This book is very original and is very well written. It is a wonderful start in a series. Most certainly an action packed paranormal novel with loads of adventure. You get pulled in the beginning and can’t read it fast enough to find out what happens next. Juniper Simons is a brave witch warrior who is tasked with a dangerous mission that leads to a new found love and unfortunate loss. The characters are wonderful and very engaging. Definitely an edge of seat type book. So, excited to read the next book in the series.

This is my first book by Byrd Nash. I loved this story. It was very well thought out and so sweet. I buried my nose in it and finished in no time. This will not be the last time I read something from this author. In this retelling of Cinderella our main female character is Miss Melinda Wychwood and she has some fairy lineage to her.

Romance, adventure and fantasy are what drove me to read the book. The world-building and writing style captivated me throughout the book and I could not put it down. I loved the character of Maya and I gasped and laughed alongside her.
This was my first book from the author and I was pleasantly surprised. I was instantly captivated by Athalie’s story and sacrifice. I also enjoyed the fast pace, action and adventure.

Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team: The Complete Season (Mythical Alliance #1 – 6) by Claire Luanacontains all six books in this superb urban fantasy series. Mythical Alliance is a serialized series which consists of six novella length instalments full of all the paranormal action, adventure, mystery, danger, drama, tension, and intrigue you could want. With plenty of originality, incredible world building, and quirky paranormal beings (supes), this series not only makes for excellent reading- I think it would also translate well onto the small screen, and that’s one television series I would love to see. What is the Mythical Alliance, who are the members of Phoenix Team, and just what do they get up to? This series is definitely worth the read to find out.
The series contains:
-Phoenix Team One: Selected (Book #1) -Phoenix Team Two: Protected (Book #2) -Phoenix Team Three: Captured (Book #3) -Phoenix Team Four: Trafficked (Book #4) -Phoenix Revealed (Book #5) -Phoenix Betrayed (Book #6)

Black Dog Rising by Kat Caulberg is an intriguing paranormal romance- with plenty of drama, adventure, danger, mystery, and secrets. This is my first read by Ms. Caulberg, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect going in. But the title alone intrigued me enough to want to know more- so I took a chance and snapped up a copy and jumped right in. Emma journeys to England trying to leave her previous bad relationship behind. But little does she know that this will be the start of an adventure that will change everything. Nothing is quite as it seems, as Emma will soon discover. This journey brings danger, uncovers secrets, and will test her like never before. Add some tension, chemistry, the Fae, a dark(ish) atmosphere, and some romance- and this story had me completely engrossed. I am looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Caulberg’s work in the near future!

This story seems more like a children’s book. The working reminds you of older time—historic perhaps. It’s a very whimsical story about Grace, who is a ghost who inhabits Amberwood Hall, and Lauren, the little girl who Grace thinks could end up helping her achieve her goal. An exuberant story for all ages! A fun read for anyone!

This is a paranormal fantasy about Juniper, who has to get something called the Stone Of Destiny. She has to protect it from evil doers. This first book journeys you through on her destiny. You even get a bit of interested from Drake for Juniper. This book is well written. Just not something I carry normal interest in. Plenty of adventure and a good storyline.

Maya and Soren – the setting – the story – I am literally at a loss for words for everything that was packed into these pages. This felt like a modern fantasy with tons of action and just the right amount of chemistry. Beautiful imagery and fantastic characters, this is a book fantasy lovers will thoroughly enjoy and one I cannot wait to read again!
