This was an intriguing start to what looks like it will be a really good series. The characters are very interesting and the story really captured my attention. The story has a number of twists and turns and even some mystery. It will be very interesting to see just where the story is going and how each of the characters will evolve and how their story develops. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more of the series.

C. Reigh – Review by Cindy Rushin
Bastian Academy is a school for the 7 different sovereigns which consist of different species. Wolves, humans, fae, and more! This book mostly focuses on a human princess, Amelia, and a wolf prince, Dane.
When the duo were just mere children, they were betrothed due to a treaty between the two kingdoms. Amelia wants out of her arranged marriage especially since her heart belongs to another but once Dane meets her, he decides then and there that she is his whether she likes it or not.
Amelia will stop at nothing to try to end her engagement, including potential treason. Dane wants to be the best fighter on campus but having Amelia around is proving to be a distraction for him.
This being the first time that the 7 kingdoms are together, not all goes peacefully and Amelia and Dane have to put their differences aside to save not only themselves but others as well.
The book is written from multiple point of views giving you a glimpse into the budding romance of the main characters but also some outside plot. I really liked Dane’s character and was rooting for these enemies to become lovers from day one.
After this intriguing introduction to the series, I will most likely look into the rest of the series!

C. Reigh – Review by Santana Hicks
This is the first book in the series called Wolf. It is going to be a great series I can tell already. Each book will focus on a different couple and this couple is Princess Amelia of Avonlee and Prince Dane a wolf shifter. They are all in an academy where people from the Seven Kingdom have all joined together. Once enemies of each other are they really going to live peacefully now or is something sinister happening underneath the surface.
Amelia and Dane have been promised to each other as a way to keep the alliance between the wolfshifters and the Avonlee people secure. However Amelia has her sights set else where and is planning on changing Prince Danes mind about the whole arranged marriage. Dane however has no intention of ending the agreement when as soon as he meets her he knows she is his fated mate. Now he is more determined than ever to show her that despite their arrangement they are actually fated mates. Amelia however is very stubborn and determined to push Dane away at every turn. Will Amelia realised the truth or will her constant refusal lead to a breakdown between Amelia’s family and Dane’s pack?
The author does an incredible job of weaving this story full of adventure and magic. There are so many creative characters from wolf’s to dragons and witches to Fae. Each character is unique and I can’t wait to see and learn more about them as the series progresses.

C. Reigh – Review by Kerry Carr
A fun book full of short stories of different shifter types, they love they find and the hurdles they have to overcome. My favorite of the short stories was House of Harlots, I loved the heartbreak Ivy goes through and the way her and Jax come together. Along with all the drama with his pack in between. Cat and Mouse was another favorite, Rowan loves Elorah, but Elorah just isn’t getting it. Their story is sweet and I am glad he never gives up on going after her. After I finished Release the Hellhound, I was left wondering what was coming next, it seemed to end abruptly but we get an ending for Ezekiel and Lorna at the beginning of A Mate for Draco. I like how the these two stories flowed one right after the other. Gargoyle Mine was a fun and interesting read, I have never read a shifter romance with a gargoyle and it was interesting how Bryant or Ekkom came to be with Terra.
Wolf is the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns series, an incredibly enthralling romance academy read. I have to mention how beautiful the cover is, and that it really caught my eye! Definitely made it hard to resist that age-old saying of not judging a book by its cover! I loved this book so much, the character development was just perfect! I haven’t had the pleasure of reading R.C. Reigh’s work until now, but I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on more of this series!! Just a fantastic read!

10/10 I loved this book! This awesome mix of fantasy, romance, and political drama gets you hooked from the beginning. I havent stopped thinking about these characters since I finished it. The world the author dreamed up is vivid and so easy to picture yourself in! I cant wait to read the entire series!

Shifter Shorts by TK Lawyer is a mix of Paranormal/ Fantasy / Shifter Romance stories that are short stories each focuses on different characters. My only complaint is I wish they were just a bit longer. Couple of the stories felt a bit rushed in spots. This collection contains a mix of shifter romance,dark romance and paranormal fantasy. My favorite of the collection would have to be Gargoyle Mine. I was definitely surprised by the shark shifter story as I’ve not read one before. I will say there may be some content that may be a trigger for some. I enjoyed reading this book and highly suggest reading it. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

First the cover caught my eye then the synopsis piqued my interest. By the end of the first chapter I was fully hooked. I could not put the book down. It started as just one more chapter before bed and ended with finishing the book a few hours past when I should have been asleep. There is adventure, rivals, academy setting, and a unique cast of characters. Bonus, enemies to rivals trope.
I am definitely a fan of this series and cannot wait to get lost in the next book in the series.

C. Reigh – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh
Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf is Book 1 in this series and can I say I LOVED this story. I was first drawn the beautiful cover and intrigued by the story-line….this gave me all that I love with a Fantasy YA Romance story. This is a new author to me and I am feeling already invested to see where this series of magic, shifters, fated mates, drama, angst, hidden agendas and some romance will take me. This story has multiple POVs , and this really brought the story together.
What are the chances of a strong princess in Amelia and a wolf shifter, Dane could be fated mates? It is true and Amelia at first wants no parts of having an arrangement of marriage that serves value to her people…she wants to make her own choices. Prince Dane of Carpathia is trying with is every being to accept what his fate is with a treaty that his father has in store for him and also a marriage arrangement with Princess Amelia. Prince Dane is trying to get to know Amelia slowly, especially through Amelia’s cousin, Cora…but his patience is wearing thin to where it is very frustrating. With a necromancer’s daughter, Kessera, with a mist of chaos and her own agenda, Prince Dane and Princess Amelia must try to work together for the greater good…but with vampires, goblins and attacks happening at the castle…will Prince Dane be able to be there for Princess Amelia……….and will the princess finally be able to break down her wall around her heart and give Prince Dane a chance….
Definitely read and find out. I cannot say enough about this story…it is truly fantastic…I am already looking forward to the next book with dragons…

C. Reigh – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Didn’t realize these were a bunch of shorts stories but I still enjoyed them. Not my typical reads but it definitely had my attention. Loved the diversity of all the characters! Shifters and all that, is something I’m rather new too but nothing I’m against. If you want some hot shifters and a quick read, pick this one up.
In these series of stories, you have 6 different couples. I loved reading these stories, but definitely do not let the lighthearted cover fool you. I thought it was going to be a lighthearted series of stories that would get my feel goods going. Boy was I wrong. The hellhound story threw me off because I was not expecting something that I would normally read with such a lighthearted cover. Once I got over the hurdle that my brain was processing over the cover vs what I was reading, I got to fully enjoy the stories. They were as the cover says short. Each was a quick read with it’s own good story. A lot of steam in each story as well. My only complaint would be a little better detailed content warning simply because the hellhound story is a little darker than the rest of the stories.
This is a quick read of several shifter stories of various shifters. Stories were short but had enough plot to keep you interested and also wanting more. I didn’t realise when choosing this book that it was short stories as I usually pick a book by the cover unless it is a large book. I was pleasantly surprised. I have always enjoyed this author and this book didn’t disappoint.

Such a great book. I wasn’t ready for it to end. I love academy based books as well as fantasy so I was a very happy camper with this book.
The college has taken about 22 years to ensure the safety of the students inside, which are royals and their protectors from each of the 7 kingdoms. The college has different species from the kingdoms come together in cooperation. To learn from each other.
Amelia is as stubborn as they come. We find out at the end why but I thoroughly enjoyed her struggle along the way. Cora, her best friend from her court, tries everything to keep Amelia on the straight and narrow and help her through the stress of her betrothed. Amelia of course does not make this easy.
I loved the interactions with Amelia and Dane. They both have work to do on themselves.
Fae, humans, wolves, healers, and a necromancer and the academy is in for fun. Excited to read book two. I need more.

C. Reigh – Review by Deb Robinson
I haven’t been this excited about a YA series since Percy Jackson. Wolf, the first book in the Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns, is an enemies to lovers tale. Duty bound Amelia of Avonlee is betrothed to Dane of Carpathia with the hope that their union will provide her smaller kingdom with protection. To make things even more complicated, she must now attend a school with children from all seven kingdoms, including Dane.
Bastion Academy is the realms last ditch effort to build bridges between kingdoms but some of the nobles just want to watch the world burn and I am so here for it!
R. C. Reigh has renewed my love of YA Fantasy, and I cannot wait for the next book!

C. Reigh – Review by Jen Brown
This was a new genre of stories for me to read; outside my normal range of stories. I loved that each story was a unique shifter tale. I had never thought of shifters as anything but werewolves. It was refreshing to read and see the different perspectives. I do wish there was more to read of each story but of course that wouldn’t make it a short story. Definitely will try to read more stories by T.K. Lawyer.
Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns is the first book in this series about four young royals managing their way through a school that began as a way for different kingdoms to build relationships with one another. Coming out of a war that their parents almost lost against the underworld, the royals realized that they had to stop infighting so that they could defeat their common enemy. The forming of a school to teach their children altogether is their hope for a better future of peace. However, their children also have a mind of their own.
Amelia of Avonlee has been promised to Dane of Carpathia and is not too happy about it. She would much rather choose her own path. Dane does not want to make anyone do anything they do not want to do, but fate steps in and has other plans. Cora wants nothing but her cousin Amelia’s happiness and safety. Kessara, the necromancer’s daughter, is a loner that just wants to cause chaos. New friendships are made, hearts are crushed, and attacks abound on this new school. Can these teens work together or will they end up mortal enemies?
This is my first time reading this author. I have to say, I really enjoyed this book! I would have liked more background information on the war, but there is enough given that I could piece it together. The characters were easy to read about and picture in my mind. The relationships made, the self-discovery, and disappointments were relatable even though it is fantasy. I am looking forward to the next book to see where this story goes, especially with Kessara. I hope the author will surprise the readers with a character twist!

C. Reigh – Review by Desiree Ottinger
Born of the Shinree, an enslaved fallen race, Ian Troy is magically bound to protect the kingdom of Rella. Since childhood, he trained to be their champion in a seemingly never-ending war. Called to the battlefield a brash young man of seventeen, Troy is anxious to show off his prowess with both magic and blade. He believes his role is vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan finally knowing peace.
Only, war is nothing like he thought.
After a year of being mistrusted and shunned simply for the blood in his veins—his magic restrained by an authoritarian queen—Troy has grudgingly learned his place. He follows orders and suffers their abuse in silence because the cost of insolence is a chain around his neck.
When Queen Aylagar handpicks him for a mission deep inside enemy territory, he thinks his time has come. Fate willing, he will prove to them all: Ian Troy is more than the “witch” they believe.
*Troy is a prequel story that takes place fifteen years before The Crown of Stones Trilogy.

4.5/5 Stars This is such a great entrance to fantasy for YA readers. The world building is excellent. The author gives great details for the story. At first I wasn’t thrilled when I saw the multi POV, but it’s done very well in this book. This is a great first read of the series and I know the 2nd book will be just as good.

T. K. Lawyer is a first time author for me so I was excited to read something new. I loved the fact there were 6 very different short shifter stories; it wasn’t just normal shifter stories. There is a big cat, a gargoyle, a Hellhound, a dragon/vampire hybrid, a wolf, and a great white shifter. All very different, and several I’ve never even thought of or seen in other stories. The characters were a little underdeveloped, but that could just be because they were all sort sorry stories. The world building was pretty good, even with the shortened length. The reader is transported into forests, cities, the ocean, and even the underworld itself all through the storytelling of T. K. Lawyer. Some of the stories I would love to see as full length books and a couple are definitely better left as short stories. Overall, a quick, interesting read by an author I wouldn’t mind checking out more from.

Shifter Shorts is a collection of six short paranormal romance stories, each featuring a human woman and a male shifter. Most of the stories are independent of each other, but A Mate for Draco picks up at the end of Release the Hellhounds and resolves what would otherwise not quite be the HEA we’re promised.
My favourite is Gargoyle Mine. The idea of a gargoyle shifter watching the world from the side of a building is cool, and something I hadn’t come across before. This story is also less dark than some of the others which I appreciated. It hints at broader aspects of the characters’ lives, leaving spaces for the reader’s imaginations to elaborate on the short story.
I also enjoyed Haven. Again, this isn’t as dark as the others and the nautical setting makes a nice change!
This collection gets three stars from me. I think it has quite a specific target audience as the stories have a lot of similarities including the women often ending up in dangerous, sometimes quite violent, situations they need rescuing from and the men having the end goal of mating for life. If this appeals to you, here are six stories you’ll love!

Amelia of Avonlee is supposed to be married to Prince Dane of Carpathia once she is done with Bastion Academy. An arranged marriage with a man she has never met, Amelia finds her interests lie elsewhere and she wants to end their engagement. Face to face meeting with Prince Dane of Carpathia is the way to convince him that the treaty between their kingdoms can end peacefully.
Dane is curious about Amelia but one look at her he knows she is his fated mate. The stubborn girl though is determined to force him away, Dane though has no intention of letting it happen. There is more at play then Amelia realizes and Dane is determined to change her mind that they are meant to be.
There is a great deal more to this story. The story is rich with characters you want more of. I thought this was a book that had a little bit of everything you could want in a fantasy book. Dane was my favorite character, he oozes charisma and you are all in with the Prince of the Warrior Wolves. Anxious to see what is next from this author.

Shifter Shorts is 6 “short” stories that I truly found quite enjoyable. If you love paranormal/fantasy stories with some alphas, sizzle, drama and fated mates, this is a really good read. I love the uniqueness of these stories as the shifters are gargoyles, dragon/vampire, hellhounds, cats, wolves and shark. As each story has its own blend of shifter and mate, each couple is trying to navigate feelings while trying to figure out next steps and survive dangers with an HEA, which I love.
While I enjoyed all 6 stories, my favorite story was “Gargoyle Mine”. I loved the gargoyle shifter and found it very different and quite enjoyable.
Each story left me wanting a bit more, so I am looking forward to more stories like these from this author.
This was an interesting read. I have never been the biggest fan of short stories but this book is well written. It was nice to be able to complete a story fast and know the ending,
Each story is well written and you get easily wrapped up in the stories. The fact that the characters are well-developed and grow as you read about them in such a short while makes this a good book.
This book also has a good amount of spice to it that will get you going. Read this book to read the journey of a few different shifters and how they handle each of their unique situations.
This was an interesting read. This book is the first in this series. It’s a young adult fantasy romance. It’s got a little bit of something for everyone. This author did a great job with world building, multiple pov, and character development. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series.

C. Reigh – Review by Angela Plate, January 2024
I was not sure what to expect out of this book, but I ended up really enjoying it! I was drawn into this book and it felt like I was right beside Julia and was going through the exact same things. I definitely recommend this book!

Song of Earth and Claws is a fantasy story set in a world of fae where clear rules and procedures dictate how politics and justice are acted out. This includes how and in what circumstances revenge should be taken, and how kingdoms can be lost and run.
The main character, Lannahi, is a young adult and daughter of a powerful king. Secrets from her past mean that she has to work strategically to keep her family safe. She has to make a bold and dramatic gesture that will make her vulnerable and isolate her, but could also bring her power and, eventually, safety.
I enjoy the world created in this story. There are clear social structures which mean that actions and decisions have inevitable consequences. This adds to the tension of some of the more dramatic scenes as we wonder what the knock-on effects will be.
The over-the-shoulder narrative lets us see how Lannahi analyses different situations and chooses her course of action. Her naivety can be frustrating at times but serves as a reminder of her youth, and that she wasn’t intended and therefore adequately prepared for the world she has ended up in.
This book gets five stars from me, and I look forward to reading more Faelands books! I’d recommend it to fans of high fantasy who enjoy stories with intrigue and romance. Particularly if you like books with lots of music in them, this is for you!

This collection of “shorts” is a cute, sexy, easy read. Different couples, different shifters, different situations. All determined to get their mate.
This is not my first story from this author so I knew things would be steamy and interesting to say the least. Most of the stories in this collection I enjoyed more than others. With my favorite two being Gargoyle Mine and Haven. I would have loved a different ending for Release the Hellhound, but I did like the way Mate for Draco wrapped it up.
Many short stories are just a tease, a sample of a couple and their situation. Oftentimes I find it difficult when reading to get the full picture. A few of these shorts are that way, here’s hoping this author writes more about these couples because I really need more shark shifter and gargoyle stories!!
