Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill was a great fantasy read. This is the second book in the series, I did jump into the second book without reading the first and was able to follow along. I loved the plot and the story as it developed. The story was super descriptive and it really helped me dive into the world head first. I have so many questions on what happens next that I cannot wait for the next book.

While I could follow the story line as I began reading Arrows Tipped with Honey, I had so many questions about Mielitta’s character and what caused the current status at the beginning of the book. As a result, I quickly grabbed the first book (Queen of the Warrior Bees) in this series and dived into this world. I am glad I did. I found the character and “universe” development from the first book to provide a deeper appreciation and understanding of what was transpiring in Arrows Tipped with Honey. Throughout Arrows Tipped with Honey, the author did a superb job at developing the characters further and making them so complex that you feel you are right there with them in the midst of the action. While many questions you had from the first book are answered in this book, Arrows Tipped with Honey gives you many more questions and leaves you begging for another book to follow. You must grab Queen of the Warrior Bees (Book 1) and Arrows Tipped with Honey (Book 2) today (with a cup of coffee) and plan to not leave your reading spot for a long while.

Who doesn’t love a box set for some binge reading? Personally, I adore box sets and when authors make them available. I rather be able to read all the books at once and I love the ease that it gives me to gift an amazing series to friends and spread joy. I have read and loved all the Hero High books and love following along as Friday finds her way in this unique world Mina Chara has invented. Below you will find my review for each individual book, but I highly recommend grabbing this box set asap to find out all about Hero High for yourself! Happy reading!
HERO HIGH: DENIAL (BOOK #1) ~
This was my first read for me by Mina Chara. I will say that it was a good book overall and I appreciated the concept by the time I had it finished but it did take me a bit to get into the flow of the story. I think a lot of that was because this is a new series and the first book so we got a bit of set up information that may just have been a bit on the heavy side. Otherwise, this book is a quick read with a lot of surprise action that will keep you guessing until the end.
Friday is our main gal and she is currently in a predicament of learning that she has powers that set her aside from the typical seventeen year old. When her father learns of this he sends her off to a school far away from the family. She finds herself in Hero High and facing the new life her magic has formed for her. This is a short read but I still found myself reading past my bedtime to find out how things would eventually play out for Friday. I look forward to getting my hands on the next Hero High novel, Anger.
HERO HIGH: ANGER (BOOK #2) ~
This is the second book in the Hero High series from Mina Chara and I would highly recommend that you read the first book in the series before you start with this one. This book does pick right up where we left off with book one and the characters continue on through as well as grow as you read. This is a young adult book so written towards that genre and I rather enjoyed it still. This series packs a punch and gives you lots of different story tidbits to please just about any reader. Everything from adventure, action, drama, mystery and suspense is thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat reading to find out if the characters will make it through whatever task they are plagued with at the time. I look forward to seeing where the story will go next in the next book to come.
HERO HIGH: BARGAINING (BOOK #3) ~
This series has really taken off with this third installment of Bargaining, Hero High book #3. I have read the other books in the series up to this one and I would recommend that you do as well to understand and follow the progression of things with Friday and the supporting characters. In this one we find Friday in a new slew of complications. Her best friend, Jake, and their relationship is falling to pieces, while the rest of the world around her seems to also be falling more and more apart each day. She has made great strides on the show and the producers have placed her in the Gold team but she starts to wonder what it really takes to be a hero and if she is going about things in the right way. I love how things seem realistic even for a dystopian novel, things could be possible and that makes the allure of these reads that much more drawing. I look forward to seeing what we will get next in the latest and newest installment in the series. I will definitely be back to see what will take place.

I must start with the fact this is a continuation of a previously started series, The Natural Forces books from Jean Gill. I think it helps a lot to read the first book as it is the next chapter in Mielitta’s life but it is possible to enjoy the book on its own probably. I love how Jean Gill writes, it is somewhat poetic and the flow is one that transports you to a whole new world with an endless amount of possibilities for magic and adventure. I often feel as If I am on an escapade and far away when I read Gill’s works. This book did the same and flowed perfectly. I loved reading about where Mielitta goes and her adventures in the Forest once she breaks through. Love becomes a factor that Mielitta must work her way through the complicated feelings that come from that. I loved the way things never felt forced or over explained, something that I tend to struggle with when reading the dystopian novels. I cannot wait to see what we will get next from the talented Jean Gill!

This is the second book in the Natural Forces collection. I read book 1 as well, and my opinion is you need to read them in order, they are not standalones. Arrows tipped starts right where we left off from book 1. I love this series and Jean Gill as an author. This book is different in the way she wrote the first as it focuses on more than just Mielitta. Kermon is front and center this time around, and Jean did an amazing job with his character. Part of the synopsis says “Trapped in a society he loathes and fears, Mage Smith Kermon’s mission becomes a test of survival. Can he remain loyal to Mielitta in the double life he leads as her spy in the Citadel? He is quickly embroiled in deceit and subterfuge, forcing him into actions that make him doubt himself and everything he values.” Worded perfectly and a wonderful read.

Arrows Tipped with Honey is the exciting second book in Jean Gill’s Natural Forces series. It is a fantasy series, with a heroine who has a magical connection with bees and is seeking to overcome a corrupt city that shuns all connections with the natural world. Following the climactic battle of the previous book, the Citadel believe they are victorious. Sure, the Queen of the Warrior Bees has made some demands of them when they forged their peace treaty, but they have their children back and are able to return to life as normal. But the Queen, Mielitta, is playing a long game. With a spy inside the city, and a generation of children who have seen the forest and tasted the honey, Mielitta hopes she can change things for the better. Already in the first book, this was a really well developed fantasy world. The rules of the Citadel are clear, and the secrets it hides intriguing. There is a contrast between the strictly ordered Citadel and the wild forest which can seem cliché, but contributes to the power of the story. There is a depth to the characters, particularly coming into the second book as they adapt to their new roles and relationships. For me, this is a five star book. It’s a great fantasy series for young adults who are concerned about the environment. Readers should start with the first book, Queen of the Warrior Bees, as the story in the second book follows on from the events of the previous book.

Kat’s Conundrum (Raven and Hummingbird Book 3) by Nikki Broadwell 4 Stars!!!!
I love finding new authors. I also have a bad habit of reading series out of order but that’s just me. I really love fantasy based books with Gods and Demigods. This book totally filled that. The author has a very original story base and has a very good style that brings the characters to life. I really felt as though I was part of the story.
Kat really is a character I could relate to. She faces some obstacles in this story and my heart was just ripped in two as she deals with her love’s disappearance. I like how the author balances the drama in the story and I like how they come together as a family. I really related to Kat as she had to fight to prove herself and really rediscover herself. When her dad is stripped of his powers and it affects Kat and also the border being closed makes it worse I like how she continues to prove herself and fight. I really couldn’t put this book down and I really cannot wait to read more from this author and the series.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot is a fairytale like story that delves into the world of disabilities. It is nice to see an author use something that isn’t always talked about as a main storyline. The way this author handled the topic was in a sensitive and compassionate manner. I did think at times though because of her focus on the main character being disabled it did leave some things lacking in the writing. Parts felt rushed and other parts felt like it was stuck together a little awkwardly. However I did enjoy the characters overall and I liked that the author was trying to achieve. This was a fun, easy to read book and a great way to while away an afternoon.

Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana was a fun fantasy read. I have never read a serialized book like this before, the fantasy world and all that happens had me hooked. I loved all the details and how they were written into the story so smoothly. I loved Zariya, she is spunky and strong and willing to do anything to find the truth. There was so much going on in the story and I just loved how fast it was paced nothing felt like it was being rushed or unexplained.There was a perfect balance.

This is an amazing series, full of action and adventure and keeps you guessing.
Friday is a hero and she goes to Hero High. Shes part of tv show and with her mentor and team she gets trained in how to be a hero.
However things arent as straight forward as they seems when as well as her training Fridays has encounters with the Fire in the Flames and she has feelings for the worst person imaginable. But neither of these people are who she thinks they are which only confuses her even more.
Its an adventure from the first page and i cant wait to read the rest of the series.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot is a magical fantasy story that is wonderful and tells the tale of a young princess with a disability that doesn’t stop her. It is a sweet adventure as we journey along with her and her love. This story is well written, and the characters are likable. Allison’s words give us a vivid view of the world she has created. This story is not one to be missed.

This was a great story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I didn’t want to put this one down! It was well written and I immediately got sucked into this urban fantasy world. This story had lots of action and suspense and of course a really sexy vampire. What more could a girl want?? This story follows Zariya Chanji and her quest to find the truth behind her father’s death. She believes he was murdered and she will stop at nothing to find the truth. The deeper she goes the more dangerous it gets! Will she survive long enough to find out what happened to her father? Or will she end up in the same place he did? I really enjoyed this and I am very much looking forward to reading more in this series and by this author! Happy Reading!

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill
This book took me on an intriguing adventure. This is the second book in this series and it is my suggestion that these books be read in order for better understanding and enjoyment. I was pulled into this story from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. There is suspense, danger, and wonderful characters in this wonderfully told story. The author did an exceptional job making me feel like I’m going along for the adventure because it was written with vivid detail and the emotions were jumping off the pages. I was left with the questions that I’m hoping will be answered in the next book. I cannot wait to read the next one. I recommend reading this book.

Arrows Tipped With Honey is the second book in the Natural Forces series. I was captured by the title and blurb and didn’t realize that this was part of a series at first. You will definitely want to read the first book before you read this one!
This story has a solid blend of fantasy, action, intrigue, danger, and romance. It also has a bit of a dystopian feel to it with the nature vs. civilization components. I enjoyed the unique characters and the amazing world that the author built for them.
Arrows Tipped With Honey was not a “quick” read for me. It has a lot of layers so you will want to take your time with it. You definitely don’t want to pass up a chance to read this series!

Hooked from the very first page, i devoured this whole book in one sitting and will definitely be doing it again!

Hero High: Figure in the Flames by Mina Chara is a unique and interesting story, looking at the idea of “super heroes” in a different way. This is the boxed set of the first 3 books in this series. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the blurb of this book – I figured I was either going to love it or I really wasn’t. Thankfully I can honestly say I loved it. I really enjoyed that it was a different take on a super hero story as more exciting to read and gave the book a new depth to it. The characters were all really interesting as they were all so different from each other. This is a well written and fun series to read. I would definitely recommend it!

Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana
5 ++++ Stars
I’m so confused. I don’t read these kinds of books on a normal basis, but something drew me to this and I’m so hooked right now wanting the second in this series like right now!
I’ll admit that since I haven’t read a lot of Fantasy, many of the terms were foreign to me. This in no way though took away from how much I enjoyed this story. It was short, I read it in about an hour but it felt like a full length novel full of all kinds of information that leads me to believe this is going to be an awesome series. Although it moved quickly, it never felt rushed. Emphasis was put in all the right places and it didn’t leave me wishing there was more except wanting the next.
I’ve read a couple stories by this author, and completely enjoyed them, which was one of the reasons I took a chance. I enjoyed the well placed humor in some spots that made me smile, then the edge of your seat action thinking in some spots maybe I knew what was going on, but completely unsure at the same time. I love the characters, Zariya was on a mission and she wasn’t about to be deterred from that. What she got while exploring this was all sorts of fun. I loved the underlying feel of a romance building, yet never fully forming..Yet? I loved the feel of friendship that was being tested and hope that all of that works out in the end. I loved the family feel as well and Auntie was definitely a favorite of mine. So although this didn’t end on a kindle throwing cliff hanger, there are so many questions I can’t wait to receive answers on.
Seriously..Grab this, it is truly an amazing book!

Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) By Amy Allen (Author), CeeCee Elaine (Author), Jess Bagnall (Author), Lorah Jaiyn (Author), Erin Lee (Author), Rachel Pudsey (Author), Debra Parmley (Author) 5 out of 5 stars
This is a wonderful anthology that has different authors retelling the story of Hansel and Gretel. I loved reading every one of the stories. The authors have done an amazing job of making the characters in each story come alive. I felt like I was right there with them. The stories included deception, danger, and some gave me a scare. I love anthologies because I get to read stories by authors that I am familiar with as well as being introduced to new authors as well. The stories pulled me in and I didn’t want to put them down until I had read the final page. These stories also have emotional and romantic moments. I found this group of stories to be entertaining and intriguing. There were times when I would say to myself “that didn’t just happen, did it?” The authors have done an amazing job of writing their version of Hansel and Gretel. I would highly recommend reading these stories.
5 Star Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana is a wonderfully written short story that will pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end.This book is packed with action , fantasy, suspense and danger. I’ve read other books by this Author and this one is definitely a favorite. Zarlya is convinced that her father has been murdered and she’s determined to find his killer. As she’s investigating the further she gets into it the more dangerous it becomes but she’s close to finding the killer . Can she survive long enough to find the killer? Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

I loved this anthology. This is a collection of great stories by some awesome authors who have their own take of what Hansel and Gretel should be. Each story is unique and could just scare the pants off you. They are engaging and the twists and turns will keep you turning pages. The stories come alive with each of the characters which I loved. Some of these authors are new to me and some are among my favorites. I know you will find a favorite just like I have. Will you take a chance Down the Rabbit Hole? You don’t want to miss this page turner. I highly recommend this anthology.
Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana. This is a fun new paranormal series. Its about Zariya Chanji who is convinced her father was murdered and she will stop at nothing to find the truth of what really happened. Zariya is half human, half naga which is a snake creature hybird and her world has fallen apart since her father’s death. During her investigation she draws the attention of some very bad people including a very powerful Vampire. She is going to do what it takes to find the truth even if it means making some very powerful enemies involved in the MASC ( Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures). This story is so fast paced and it will keep you ripping thru the pages. It has so many amazing characters and the story is well written it will knock you off your feet. Be prepared to finish this book once you start because you are not going to want to put it down.

Figure in the Flames is a collection of books 1-3 in the Hero High Series by Mina Chara. Having all 3 books in a box set was a great idea- each time I finished a book, I was scrambling for the next. This series introduces Friday Fitzsimmons and her super power. She needs to learn how to use her power and when. Leaning on friends is a good thing, until it’s not. Who will be in Friday’s corner? Trust me this is a great read if you like the super power genre. It is a YA book, but the way Mina writes, makes it for any age!

Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I simply loved it I even read this story in one sitting but it does have a cliffhanger. The plot was awesome and different and the characters are well written. I just loved their quirkiness.
Zariya Chanji, is convinced her father was murdered and she will stop at nothing to uncover the truth–even if she must break into the headquarters of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. MASC, the Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures, governs the lives of supes like herself, and she knows they had a hand in covering up her father’s murder. She does not understand, why they are covering his death up? When her investigation draws the unwanted attention of a MASC she decides to go on the defense. She meets a vampire who is as handsome as he is powerful, and she know she is close to the truth. But the deeper she gets, the more dangers lurk in the shadows, and the harder it becomes to tell friend from foe. The truth will change everything–if she can stay alive long enough to find it. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to see what Zariya gets up to in the next book…. Tracy

“Your hands are as cold as ice.” I smiled. “Cold-blooded.” dark eyebrows shot up like two bushy caterpillars. “What are you?” Rude. Didn’t this guy know anything? You didn’t ask a supe what kind of creature they were. “Naga,” I answered. “Well, half anyway.” …..Many mythical creatures—supes, as they’re called these days—share kinship or at least a passing resemblance with animals. Nagas are snake supes. In ancient times, they were thought to be gods, and that suited them just fine. Nagas are capable of shifting between the form of a human and the form of a huge snake—or somewhere in the middle—human torso, snake lower half. Full-bloods have incredible power—they’re strong, fast and agile. All their senses are heightened, and they have an extra one too: Nagas can use their infrared glands to sense the heat of a nearby body one hundred yards away. Then there’s the poisonous venom, and the fact that Nagas can swallow someone whole. Though it isn’t a particularly pleasant experience, from what I’ve heard. You’re bloated as hell for days afterwards. As a half-blood, I can’t do most of that cool shit. My form is permanently stuck somewhere between a snake and a human. I have the slivered pupils and forked tongue of a Naga, together with a pattern of golden scales that stretch up my neck to my temples as Martin so classily observed. I have much of my race’s heightened senses: strength, speed, and venom. But compared to many supes, I’m weak. ”
“My gut tightened with anger as tears pricked my eyes. Impotent fury and soul-sucking grief, my two ever-present companions these past six weeks.”
“Nagas avenge our dead. It’s my right. I won’t be able to rest until I do. Dad won’t be able to rest until I do.”
Phoenix Team One: Selected is the first book in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series by Claire Luana. This is the first instalment/episode of the new serialized urban fantasy series which will consist of novella length instalments to follow along, as the story/series unfolds. This first book sets things off to a fantastic start- bringing all kinds of paranormal beings/creatures (supes), action, drama, danger, adventure, mystery, secrets, discovery, and lots more. Zariya is on a quest for vengeance after the death of her father. She is determined to hunt down those responsible for his murder and wreak her revenge. But as she begins to investigate she discovers that things are much more complicated than she imagined. What she uncovers will change her perspective about everything she thought she knew and will set her on a life changing adventure. I enjoyed this engaging story, and as expected Ms. Luana’s fantastic world building and endearing characters really brought everything to life, making it entirely realistic and believable. Cannot wait to see where we go from here!

PhoenixTeam One: Selected is the first book in the Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team series by Claire Luana. This book is the perfect blend of fantasy, suspense, thrill, and romance. The amount of action the author is able to pack in such a short story is amazing. At just 120 pages and the wonderfully written storyline, I was able to finish this book in an afternoon. Zariya Chanji is determined to figure out if her father was murdered. She believes that breaking into the MACS (Mythical Alliance of Supernatural Creatures) headquarters will help her uncover the truth of her father’s murder. Zariya thinks MACS is covering something up but she doesn’t know what their motive for it would be. Then her path crosses with a handsome MACS vampire and she isn’t sure if she will be able to stay alive long enough to know the truth about her father.

This is my first book by Claire Luana. I loved reading the story Phoenix Team One: Selected (Mythical Alliance: Phoenix Team Book 1) by Claire Luana. It is a fast-paced book that hooked me in from the start. It is a story that includes action, danger, mystery, and secrets. The story follows Zariya Chanji, a half human, half naga (snake creature) hybrid, whose life has fallen apart after her father’s death. This story flowed and the character descriptions were amazing! I honestly cannot wait to read what happens next.

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara was an exciting and fun read. The storyline easily caught my attention and I burned through this book in a heartbeat. The characters were fun and creative with unique powers and abilities. Friday was special and her power was passive. Her personality and subtle love interest kept me hooked. I loved the ending even if it was a bit of an emotional thing. Such a wonderful read. I highly recommend it!
