While the concept of the book is intriguing and the illustrations are beautifully done, I found the story to be a bit lacking. The plot is not very engaging and the writing style is quite simple, making it more suitable for younger readers.
However, I did appreciate the educational aspect of the book, as it includes interesting facts about various sea creatures and different types of mermaids. It’s a great way to introduce children to marine life and spark their curiosity about the ocean.
Overall, Mermaid Tails by Suzanna Lynn is a cute and visually appealing book that may be more enjoyable for younger readers who are fascinated by mermaids and sea creatures.

My daughters absolutely love mermaids so when I saw this book it was a no-brainer, I HAD to get it. It did not disappoint either! Both my girls loved this book and interacted with each page so easily. The author even includes little facts about each fish at the bottom. Between the imagination of what each mermaid could look like and the bright bold colors, my girls were instantly hooked and wanting more.

Have you ever dreamed of seeing a mermaid? Do you wonder what they might look like, or where they might sleep? Dive into Mermaid Tails and see how these magical creatures might live. This fun, educational, story is overflowing with sea creature fun facts and features charming illustrations of mermaids from all over the world. This is the book your young mermaid enthusiast has been looking for!
Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.
When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!
The Archspawn – Pilgrimage & Prophecies is the first book in the Archcrusades series. This book is quite hefty with over 1300 pages and over 100 characters, with about a third of those having their own POV chapters. This is a story full of magic, adventure, mythical characters and creatures, and action. Even with the length of the book, this is quite fast paced and easy to follow once you get down the varying POV switches and who is who. Some of the names are a bit fun so it did take me a little to realize “oh, that’s THAT guy…” early on, but you do get the hang of it as the pages turn. This made me feel like a Game of Thrones type read with the varying timelines and POV that intermingle and separate at the same time and I love books like that. I did not expect to enjoy this book, since I do not read much high-fantasy but this was actually really well written and thought out, and kept a smooth transition throughout. I did get confused at times but it does circle around and make sense at some point. This book is definitely complex and has some darker aspects so if you have triggers, make sure you look into that before reading. I will definitely be looking forward to the next one, I love these longer reads!

M. Hogenson – Review by Amanda Swindle
This book is a highly detailed and complex fantasy story that introduces readers to an imaginative and well developed world. So much happens in this book, and it is all supported by an amazing collection of characters. It was great that we got to hear from so many of them, it really broadened the scope of the story. This is the first book that inhave read by this author and what an introduction. I loved the world building that went on and how everything developed over time. I was drawn into the story and engaged so well with the characters. This was a great book to read and I am excited to discover more.

M. Hogenson – Review by Kerry Baker
This was a really cute children’s book. It asks questions about different aspects of mermaids were real like: what would they look like?; would they have different types of tails?; or if they would come in many sizes? Etc. The illustrations are cute and colorful, too. This is also a decent size children’s book. The best part about this book, however, is that on each page after a question is posed the author provides a fun fact about a mermaid (or legend of a mermaid) or another type of fact about the sea. I think this makes the learning process fun to read about different aspects but in a mythical creature that children love. I would recommend this book to other parents and children who love to learn about ocean life.
The Archspawn – Pilgrimage & Prophecies is the first book in The Archcrusade series and debut novel by K.M. Hogenson. This is an epic, 89-chapter book- making for a massive read. It is a high fantasy quest with action, adventure, magic, paranormal beings (eg: mages, demons, vampires, shifters, warlocks), danger, dramatic developments, a multi-layered storyline, agendas, a touch of fate/destiny, prophecy, and darker elements that you might want to make yourself aware of before diving in, especially if you have triggers. There was just so much going on in this book that I am really having trouble choosing where to start with my review. So here goes…. Like I said this is a lengthy novel- 1350+ pages of story, 89 chapters, 172+ cast members (characters), over 30 individual POV’s to keep track of, and some very unusual character names to wrap our heads around. There was way too much going on here for me, making for a bit of a chaotic read- especially with so many different characters and perspectives to keep track of- so things did get confusing and muddled at times. While the plot was interesting, the plethora of perspectives, info dumps in some areas & lack of information in others, and the somewhat stilted dialogue (at times), really made for a choppy, lagging/dragging read. I really think that some of the individual perspectives/POV, especially the singular chapters, could have been condensed and that information passed on in some other, more streamlined way. While I appreciate the author’s passion, the heart and soul that they put into their work- I found that the issues I had made it difficult to connect with the characters and/or invest in the overall story. With so much to keep track of and get my head around, I just couldn’t find my ‘groove’ and lose myself in the story like I was really hoping to do. There were way too many things that interrupted the flow and/or pulled me out of the story. There were times I found my mind wandering because the story was lagging, so I repeatedly had to force myself to stay focused on what was going on. I feel with less POV’s and a few less chapters/pages, the story would have been far more engaging. I think a lot of these issues could have been picked up and sorted with more editing and several Beta reads. This is only my personal opinion though, and now looking at some of the other reviews, I seem to be the only one who has had any issues — So if you love an epic fantasy, with plenty of adventure and don’t mind the issues that I found- then this just might be what you are looking for. The story is set to continue in Book #2, so it will be interesting to see where the author takes us from here. Happy Reading

M. Hogenson – Review by Angela Hayes
Normally I would not books like this because I am not into the paranormal or monsters and such, but I chose to read this one for a challenge I was doing. After finishing this book I started thinking that shutting out some topics and only reading certain genres that maybe I was missing some really good books.
I enjoyed the characters, especially Watercress, and the story line of the book. I have not read any books by this author in the past but after reading this one, I will be checking out more of their stories.
Check out this book I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I do not give 5 star reviews often but this book is well worth the 5 stars if you like fantasy adventure with a touch of horror aspects. The story has a lot of detail into the world the author created. There are vampires, archdemons, magicians and images, humans, and so much more in this fantasy story. My favorite part is how long the book is. It may take longer to read but it is worth the time it will take you. Enjoy!

This is a story of Norse Mythology and the history of Finn and his family. When a curse is put upon Finn when following his brothers he is now having to deal with becoming brave. The narrator was difficult for me to understand at first until I got used to the accent. An interesting story overall.

Thorfinn’s family was cursed by a witch down three generations. Two generations have succumbed to the curse before Thorfinn’s story began. A young boy of 10 Thorfinn must overcome people plotting to unalive him. His own clansman fear him and he is now an enemy. He must also accept his new fate of being a boy by day and ghost by night. This was a fascinating book. I enjoy history but have never really gotten into Norse culture aside from the Hollywood version. I’m sure the author did a lot of research to describe things so wonderfully. It was like a movie playing in my head as I was able to visualize everything. I can’t wait to see what the next adventure holds in this series.

I really like the story. The character development was strong, the characters each had a crucial role, and the ending wrapped everything together nicely. Listening to the book was challenging as at times I had a hard time figuring out who was talking as first person as it was told in different characters point of view but once you learned the narrators voices, it was much clearer. The narrator for the book was fantastic and was the perfect choice for this genre. I really felt like I was with the characters. Transition music was also nice as it set the tone for the next passage. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

Good characters, totally worth the time!

This is the biggest book I have read in a long time but please don’t let that affect your judgment! This first book was absolutely amazing! It was masterfully written and the world building is top notch! It’s delightfully refreshing to see an author put new spins on different fantasy tropes and K. M. Hogenson did that in spades! I am absolutely blown away considering this is her debut novel! As someone who loves nature, some of my favorite parts were the names, they were very earthy! I honestly can’t say enough about this book but I am glad I picked it up! I can’t wait to dig my claws into the next one when it comes out!

M. Hogenson – Review by Susan Ratchford
4.5 stars The Archcrusade: Tome One: The Archspawn – Pilgrimage & Prophecies is K. M. Hogenson debut novel. It is interesting, and unique and a lengthy read but a great read. I can’t believe it is a debut novel. This is another author to watch out for. I see very good things for them. The story is told in multiple POV which just heightens the story more as you get to see inside the nuts and bolts and how they think. It is an adult epic-fantasy adventure with magic, monsters, Vampires, Angels and Demons, Kings, Oracles, crusades, pilgrimages, prophecies and a whole lot more in between. It is a complex web of multiple plots and cleverly woven threads to pull it all together to give the reader maximum enjoyment. The world building is artfully done, and you can picture the multitude of characters and the world in which they live. There are complex characters and there are those that you will laugh and cry with and those you would have rather not met at all. K. M. Hogenson has written a diverse bunch of characters and race, creed, sexuality or colour has not been left out. Each has their own agendas which adds to the mystery but in a world like this you don’t always know who to trust. I for one can’t wait for more.

M. Hogenson – Review by Jenni Bishop
This was a quick read and enjoyable. The spice is not as detailed as other books so I’d rate a 3. It gives hints of reverse harem but she clearly states she won’t take all of them on and needs to “share” with other women
I enjoyed the portion of them being cursed and the story it reveals. However, the finesse was lacking.
I sincerely would’ve loved if it was longer. But if you’re interested in reading something short simple and sweet this is the book for you.
Selene has been bouncing around from job to job since she graduated college with her degree. Tired always because she’s “creepy” or makes others feel uncomfortable she heads back to the temp agency to try again. There she finds a request for help on an island. Thrust onto the precipice of adventure she delves deeper into the curse of the island. Only to discover the sexual offerings that are given freely to everyone till she breaks the rules.

This is an extremely fast read, at only 52 pages, but to be honest, I wasn’t ready for the story to be over! C.A. King is a very talented author with fascinating characters and amazing otherworldly settings. The Gravedigger Academy was the first series I read by her and I decided then I wanted to read more of het work, so I picked this Supernatural read up.
We start by meeting our main female character, Selene, whose life just seemed to implode as she looses yet another job and goes home to find she’s being evicted. She then begs her friend at the career center for help, where Selene discovered a job listing for a remote island that sounds intriguing. This is where the real, somewhat steamy adventure begins.

Wow! What a massive book! This def took some time for me to read, but it was well written, and I felt like the world-building was done well.

I recommend if you’re looking for a new series!

Selene seems to always end up breaking the rules, so she hasn’t been able to keep a job very long and is about to lose everything. However she has come across this job on an island that may just be perfect for her, very minimal hours and everything is paid for however there are a few rules. After dusk everyone on the island is to wear a mask. There are rumors that the island is cursed but no one will speak as to why, so Selene takes it upon herself to see what the curse is all about. Will Selene’s curiosity cost her possibly her last chance?

Oh I so need more of this story! Had this been an actual hard copy I would’ve found myself looking for more pages. Selene finds herself with no job and no place to live. She believes she’s a great exemplary employee but finds herself in desperate need of employment, once again.
She visits an acquaintance at the employee center where she is able to grab a listing for a job, on an island. Benefits is not only employment but housing as well.
Looks are deceiving and upon arriving she finds herself immersed in a whole other world. Will she run when she learns the truth or will she stay and make the best of it?

A fun Viking tale that you will enjoy listening to as you follow Thorinn on his adventure. He and his family have somehow irritated a witch who cast a curse on them. Talk about craziness. I read this on ebook. I really enjoyed it in audio. the soundtrack and narration really make it nice to lay down or sit back and just close your eyes and picture as you listen. The author does a fascinating job with details in his story and really brings out the details. I hope to see the rest of the series come out in audio.

Told in multiple POVs…. This story is a about a family that is cursed and Finn is the main focus of this curse. Trying to navigate and learn the ways between realms.. will Finn be able to be courageous to save uncle…
Secrets and plots… definitely listen to find out. Great start to this series!
The narrator was perfect for this story and I loved the music that was added. It really brings the story to life.

This was a very interesting read. As the author states in their review, it is beefy. The complexity of the story actually helps keep it pulled together. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to stay with it but the more I got into the story, the more the characters pulled me. The details and the characters wove this story together in a way that is intriguing and kind of fascinating. By the time I was finished, I found that I had actually kind of enjoyed the book. Well done for a debut novel.

M. Hogenson – Review by Shelly Kittell
When bloodthirsty monsters raid the birthplace of the first archangel, the High King of Coserai calls for a crusade to defend the holy land. Basil, a sheltered healing mage’s apprentice, marches with the crusade to accomplish his Low King’s hidden agenda: to travel to an oracle and gather insight into the fate of the realm. Along his journey, Basil faces threats from demons and criminals, paid to assassinate crusade members. Though Basil’s master attempts to spare him from unnecessary suffering, Basil’s desire for adventure lands him in danger as he begins to unravel the truth of his divine destiny.
M. Hogenson graduated from the University of Maryland and worked as an engineer and then a supervisor afterwards. It is their dream to be able to become a full-time writer so they can justify extensively long trips to the library and consider it “work.” In their free time, they compulsively listen to audiobooks while working odd projects such as bookbinding, house renovating, interior decorating, gardening, painting, sewing, knitting, mug making, and pretty much any other hobby available at local craft stores.

I have become such a fan of C. A. King so I was excited for this one; Curse of the Forbidden Island did not disappoint. Although it is a very quick, short read, there is still the same great world building I have come to expect from C. A. King. I could see the waves breaking on the sand, feel the heat from the sun, and felt the cool night breeze on my face. This paranormal romance is different from others I have read, but it’s precisely why it stands out to me. There was mystery, hints of ancient curses, steamy interludes, and a touch of the paranormal. I was kept guessing to the very end, which came way too soon for me, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Selene was a character I connected with from the start. Her luck is nothing but bad until she takes the job on the mysterious, yet intriguing, Forbidden Island. Great read by C. A. King!

When nothing goes right, opportunity can come knocking and that is exactly what happens when a job advertisement somewhere called “Forbidden Island” come up, there isn’t much detail, however, one particular woman finds that she meets all the criteria and before you know it, she is surrounded by sun, sea, sand and gorgeous men.
The only thing wrong, or at least, the only thing that doesn’t quite fit is the rule of everyone wearing masks on a night, but that doesn’t stop the rising desires which the six Casanova’s bring out, but beneath the perfect façade there is a mystery to be unravelled which is just as tantalising as the men.
Who are these mysterious hotties, are they the owners of the island, or are they other employees, and what is the mystery surrounding them? This is a hot and heavy paranormal romance where nothing is as it seems, mystery surrounds everyone and everything, but figuring it all out is as addictive as the spice within.

King – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
Thorfinn is a young boy of 9 years and coming of age under the historical Viking lore. Along with magic, ghost’s, witches and paranormal events. He may be young, but his knowledge is powerful. Now he needs to grow long before he is ready. This is a very interesting story. I don’t care to read historical novels, this one caught my interest. The story is well written and pretty easy to follow. As well as educational if you are interested in this genre. You can tell the author is knowledgeable in Viking history and paranormal characters, as is clear in this story. This audible story is fun to listen to. This would make for long driving trips. As the story builds, so does your heartbeat. This is a great story all together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to the next book in this series.
