Super Sorry by C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author

~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~ ♦ ~
Genre – Superhero, Young Adult, Paranormal
Page Count – 225 pages
To Sarah Sorry appearances mean everything…
that is until her whole universe turns upside down.
Anyone who says being a teenager is easy, lies. It’s even worse when seemingly uncontrollable abilities appear out of nowhere. Puberty is one thing, but what her body is doing—no one ever taught in health class.
That is the exact moment Sarah’s life changes forever, or perhaps it’s because of a talking beaver’s demands for waffles and maple syrup. Either way, things are never going to be the same again.
As a new heroine on the horizon, she is bound to make a plethora of mistakes and you can bet your bottom dollar she’ll be Super Sorry for each and every one of them.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.

 

Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.

 

To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.

 

People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.

 

I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.

 

I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.

 

Fast forward to today…

The Saint of Liars (The Lucky Devil series Book 2) by Megan Mackie – Review by Raylene Green

The Saint of Liars (Lucky Devil #2)The Saint of Liars by Megan Mackie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sequel so the first one in this series needs to be read first to fully grasp this book. We leave off with Rune, who has inherited this bar from her aunt after her aunt passes away. This book picks up 2 months after those events take place and in book one, she meets Saint and the events leading up to has caused Saint to take time to come to grips with it all. And even though she hasn’t seen Saint, Saint turns up when this new adventure hits. Megan has delivered a bright brilliantly costructed story for readers alike to enjoy!!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is an engaging, fast paced story about Mira and Cadoc. Their relationship has had many struggles they must overcome. The question remains, will they be able to overcome the struggles life is throwing at them? I enjoyed their characters. They are well developed and made the story easy to read. They brought their world to life and their struggles felt real. This made a great afternoon read. I highly recommend this book

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. I loved being pulled in right from the beginning. One of the things I love about this author is her ability for attention to details. Not only do they make me feel as if I am right there but also part of the story. This story is about Mudesa. She made a plan to make her way to the top and now that she is there, one phone call could change everything for her. Now she is face to face with the past and a hot detective that may have all the answers. Their twists and turns kept me turning pages. Their story is full of romance and magic that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick is a good second book for this series. The Torvik twins are back at the Tompkins School for another year. A school specifically created to kill them and others like them, as near as they can tell. Quite a bit going on in this story, it’s fast paced and there are quite a few details and lots of interesting players. There is the big mystery and it will keep you guessing. Can’t wait for the next one.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a good supernatural series.

Brumbaugh is a new author to me and one that I will definitely pick up again. I found this book to be riveting and well developed. The world building was detailed and vivid.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I highly recommend reading the first book in the Topkin’s School for the Dearly Departed. You will have the story of the twins Izzy and Kain. This is a YA Paranormal story that has drama, adventure, mystery, and suspense. The Twins have abilities that they are learning to use. They are still trying to find out if their abilities are a curse or a benefit. They are not sure who they can trust and look for answers to understanding their abilities. They are on an adventure but they are still new and there could be trouble coming their way. I highly recommend this book to get lost in an adventure of the twins Izzy and Kain.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second book by Tabi Slick. Tompkin’s School: For the Dearly Departed is a story that includes mystery, danger, and suspense. You absolutely need to read these in order. Besides the fact that Tabi Slick’s ability to wordsmith is outstanding- you get to follow everything happening easier with reading in order. Izzy and Kain are in the middle of it once again as the new school year starts, and new challenges evolve for them as well as new dangers and different enemies. I recommend this trilogy if you like paranormal and even if you don’t- this storyline is fantastic and will get you turning the pages to see what’s happening next.

Fall of the Western Kings (Tirumfall Trilogy Book 1) is a J Drew Brumbaugh is an original fantasy story with a lot of everything to reel you in. The character development and the world building see magic and lots of magical beings come together as a battle ensues with dragons and elves, knights and wizards and evil versus good. The story was a little slow to begin with but soon made up as we get further into the characters and action.

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion is the 2nd collection in the Hero High series. It is books 4-6, but reading it, I didn’t realize it was 3 separate books. There doesn’t seem to be an ending or a beginning of the next. This collection should be read after the first 3 books, as it picks up where those left off. I really enjoy this series. At first it seems cheesy, but it is wonderfully written. There is a great story line, so many characters, and a perfect balance. There is a little bit of romance, some sadness, a lot of action, its a perfect blend. It is really creative, a whole world and back story has been created. Each hero has their own unique powers and their own back story. I liked this part of the story because we get to see Friday mature. She isn’t just a scared high school kid, she is becoming her own person. She is learning to control her power and understand and own her feelings. She is standing up for what she believes and becomes a leader. I highly recommend this series, and look forward to more from this author.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Tompkin’s School: For The Dearly Departed (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 2) by Tabi Slick, 4 stars.

This book picks up with our characters after book one and the suspense and action does not stop until the end. A young adult supernatural book, it revolves around students of a boarding school. Kain and Izara have changed so drastically from what they once were. The struggle between retaining what they were and believe plus coming to figure out just what they now are is very evident and makes them seem quite real. But this isn’t the only issue in this book. There are many characters for and against them, but they don’t really know just who is who. I enjoyed the cast of characters in this story.

The book itself is a great story written to keep you entertained, intrigued, and guessing. The author does a great job of this and I cannot wait to see where the story leads us next. If you are a fan of YA supernatural books, this series is for you.

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This has been one of my favorite series of this year. I can see this turning into a television series or movies. These characters suck you into their world like you never left. This is the collection of books four through six. The names of these books are Depression, Acceptance, and Hero. You do need to read the first three books to understand what is going on. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately and I read it all the way through. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive book.

Friday is still learning how to be a great superhero. She loves going to her school but the crime is getting worse and she doesn’t know why. Friday gets an unexpected visit from a well known villain and he tells her some top secret information that changes everything in her new life. She also is now on a new team and she meets Luke which is a nice guy but even though Ashley is a villain she still cares for him. Will Friday find out why the crime is increasing or is danger lurking right in front of her?

This book picks up with Friday waking up from her coma. She’s got her life planned for her by her producers but will Friday let them tell her how to live her life?

This is a very creative story. The series is definitely original in context. I believe that you should read part one to be able to fully follow along with this book. There is time travelling several times in this book with references to book one. Jain and Izzy’s powers are developing and getting stronger. Neither enjoys being the creatures that they are but I think Izzy is accepting it more than her brother. This is their second year at the school and they are thrown into some crazy situations. There is a lot of intrigue in this book and the ending will leave you with your mouth hanging open. There are more characters introduced but unfortunately it just raises more questions. I’m hoping all of them will be answered in part three.

She is relatable because she is strong but emotional and i loved that. SO much happens in this set and i couldnt put it down. There was secrets and drama and so much action and evilness, i was on the edge of my seat. The author did such a great job with this set and i am excited to see what else this author puts out!

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High, #4)Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heartbreak Rebellion collects books 4-6 of Mina Chara’s Hero High series. It’s the second collection, following on from Figure In The Flames. The story follows young superhero Friday “Fitz” Fitzsimmons, who lives in a world where superheroes’ lives are the subject of reality TV and everything, from her clothes to her love life, is carefully chosen for her.
Fitz relies on the glitzy celebrity life to support herself and her sister. And she gets the training and resources to put her powers to good use and save the day. As a superhero fangirl herself, she can cope with the more commercial side of things. But she is forced to reconsider as she discovers that things might not be quite as they seem, and that the battles she is fighting may not be as justified as she thought.
This is a great series for young adults who enjoy superheroes. It’s critical of celebrities and media, and unpicks the apparent clear-cut binary of good and evil. Fitz is a fun protagonist and there are plenty of good supporting characters – I particularly like Lisa who’s very down-to-earth and balances being a superhero with looking after young children.
For me, this is a five-star book. An exciting story with plenty of twists and turns as well as fantastic action scenes! I’d recommend starting with the first collection to encounter the world of Hero High for the first time alongside Fitz.

Hero High:: Heartbreak Rebellion (Hero High Collections Book 2) by Mina Chara

Chara has done it again! Hero High is an amazing series and I hope there’s more. If I could give this more than 5 stars then I would. If you like Fantasy this is the book for you.

Friday, Fitz, is left with the fact that Ashley is no longer at Hero High. Then things change. Villains aren’t villains? Things aren’t what they seem. The quote I chose for Friday is: “And how’s that supposed to work? That’s not a conclusion! Fine me all you want, I’m not finishing your show!”

Ashley, Dr. Dangerous, is moved to the villain school. His mother is back in the picture, but she’s not exactly what you can call nice. His mother starts controlling people including him. The quote I chose for Ashley is: “Even if I wanted to help, Friday, I can’t. I’m surprised you’re even talking to me.”

Highly recommended for Fantasy lovers.

Hero High: Heartbreak Rebellion by Mina Chara is the second collection of this great series. This collection contains books 4- Depression, 5- Acceptance, and 6- Hero. You must read the first three books in the series first because each book is a continuation, and they all build on each other. Friday Fitzsimmons is a wonderful, realistic character. She has grown so much since the first book in the series. I love that her life hasn’t been easy, and she is often faced with tough decisions to make which have consequences. Imagine finding out you have special powers as a teen and that you are meant to be a hero or a villain. As if the teen years are not difficult enough. This is a fun, exciting series that is well thought out and not the same old story rehashed. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Friday, aka Fitz, isn’t anyone special. Or so she thinks. She goes to Hero High with her friend, but it turns out she doesn’t know him all that well. She finds it hard to fit in. The quote I chose for Friday is: “Because I could be a better person. I will be a better person.”

Ashley, The Captain’s mentee, isn’t who everyone thinks he is. He’s the new Dr. Dangerous, but is he bad? All he wants is to get revenge for his father, but Fitz keeps getting in the way. The quote I chose for Ashley is: “Eat your soup, Fitz.”

This is the 2nd collection of books in the Hero High Series. The story of Friday continues in these fast paced books. I have loved all the books in this series and the twists and turns keeps you gripped. As the books progress its great to see Friday mature as as a person.

After waking up from her coma everything for Friday has changed. Her best friend for life Jane is in prison for attacking her, her love interest Ashley has been removed to villain school because of his father and Friday has now become popular.

As the demand on Friday grows she begins to realise that being a hero isn’t as great as she thought due to the TV series input. Will she follow along to keep her fame and popularity or will she go against them and be the true hero she always dreamed of being.

With new pressures and a new love interest on the scene Friday has matured and grown and now has to make a decision about what type of hero she wants to be.

Mudesa Black clawed her way to the top, becoming a successful and respected psychiatrist, leaving her estranged family in the dust.

Tompkin's School For The Dearly Departed (Supernatural Trilogy #2)Tompkin’s School For The Dearly Departed by Tabi Slick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tompkins School: For the dearly departed by Tabi Slick a fantasy of a four-star read. This is number two in the Supernatural Academy Series and it could be read as stand-alone, but honestly, I would advise you to read them in order as they do build the background and the characters. If I hadn’t read the first, I don’t think I would have enjoyed number two as much as I did. When you read this story, you are told it by the twins Kain and Izzy, you are there with them when they figure who to listen to, who to trust and who they shouldn’t. There is a lot going on with this story, a lot of jumping around, but as you read you are able to keep up and keep it all clear. This is a great story and I am eager to read the next instalment.

Captured and tortured for his people’s crimes against the fae royals, Cadoc wants nothing to do with the faerie who shot him. Mira might be beautiful with a sassy mouth and magic in spades, but the price of having her is too high. War and death. Yet his wolf is determined to claim her his mate. When he learns she’s as much a victim as he is and his people betrayed him, Cado is determined to help her take back the throne and save both their kingdoms.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a YA Fantasy, written for our Young Adults. Welcome to Super Hero High School.

Friday Fitzsimmons is right in the middle between stardom and hidden secrets behind the school. Along with the school, is the truths behind Hero T.V. and Icon City Jail. While she is looking for adventure, having choices taken from her, was not what she expected. She just wanted to enjoy high school. This story will open up a whole new world for Friday. Her love, her loss and an unexpected adventure.

Mina Chara, the author, has written this fast paced fantasy. Hero High, Heartbreak Rebellion, is quite a story! I love all the characters, but Friday is my favorite. Mina Chara has done a great job with this fantasy. I think it is just right for those teenage readers, as well as the adult readers. Such a fun suspenseful story. Well Done Mina Chara! Well Done!
