Seventeen year old Anyanka Truman, is in self-imposed exiles day has been for two years now as she is what is known as, an aberration. Hiding from those who would use her as a lab rat, Anyanka is used to being on her own. I found this was an exciting read, and the storyline was fast paced and flowed well, it had me hooked from page one. The story had some wonderful characters and I felt immersed in their world.

Testament Of Feats: Book Of Sorrows. Having really enjoyed the first book in this series I was so excited to get the second, it did not let me down. The story continues where book one finishes, I would recommend reading them in order. K.H Jones is such a talented author, he creates worlds I’ve never even dreamed of and somehow makes you feel as if you are right there in the thick of it. Absolutely brilliant. Another great addition to a new series I would highly recommend.

This is not my first book by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca McEwen and it will not be my last. This story is a unique story and it is very intriguing. The character development makes this story soar. I felt a connection with Anyanka Truman. She is a fiery woman who knows what she needs to survive. Her world was turned upside down when she finds out that she is an aberration. She is protecting herself from the outside world but her secret gets out. There are many twists and turns in this story. Will Ananka be able to get through everything that is going on? Will she be able to trust others? I highly recommend this story.

Aberration (Aberration Series Book 1) by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen
5 ++++++ Stars
I don’t know if I can explain why I loved this book so much. Maybe it was the unique storyline, and maybe it was the way the words flowed and I didnt want it to end, and it might have also been that there was none of the added fluff you get with some stories and every word mattered, and it also could have been because I don’t read these types of books normally but these authors had me hook line and sinker from the first page.
There was quite a bit going on throughout and there were a lot of moving parts in this book, which I also loved. I was so glad we got different POV’s throughout, I only wish there had been just one more. Would have loved knowing what was going through that mind.
I never even guessed where this book was going. I was actually on a whole different path until that path got completely blocked and these authors proved why they are the writers and I’m just a reader. I loved all of the characters and how they each had their little quirks, and I can not wait for more. That ending had me hitting my kindle saying “turn the page dang it”…I then spent about 15 minutes trying to find info on the next one, because I NEED IT NOW!!
This was just an all around awesome read. I read it in one sitting and may even read it again before the next one comes out!!
I must also mention how beautiful the cover is!!
Grab this today..It’s an incredible story!

I give Aberration by Naomi Valkyrie & Rebecca E. McEwen, 5 stars.
This book was amazing!!! What these characters are is something completely new to me, which is rare and exciting in the supernatural book world. At the same time, it has the feel of being based on old world legends/beliefs. I really like how the authors took this and modernized it, making it feel of both worlds at the same time. The characters themselves are great too. They feel real, with real problems. I cannot wait to see how each of the characters evolves as the series goes on.
This is a great book to introduce us to a new world and series and I eagerly await the next book, plus hope there will be many to come! The characters are teenagers, but it is also a wonderful read for adults too — it does not alienate the adults like some teenage books tend to do. I highly recommend this book for all ages young adult and higher.

Aberration by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Aberration is the first book in the Aberration series by Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen. It’s a mix of fantasy, paranormal, drama, action, danger, romance, and emotion.
The story is told from multiple POV’s which really gave me a great perspective of everything that was happening. The story is fast paced and easy to read. There is a lot going on, but the authors have choreographed everything into a smooth, quick, and easy read. It definitely kept me engaged the whole way through.
Looking forward to seeing what book two has in store for us.
Thank you, Naomi Valkyrie and Rebecca E. McEwen!

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion Book 2) by Winnifred Tataw was an interesting read. I enjoyed the premise of the story but had trouble settling into it in the beginning but it soon picked up. The story didn’t flow as seamlessly as I would have liked but that aside it is an intriguing story. Winnifred certainly has the creativeness and the story is full of lies and heartache, hatred and fear, action and drama, broken dreams and promises, greed and war. I enjoyed the main characters and the world Winnifred has created and the uniqueness of it all.
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I should have started with the first book but did not realise that it was the second book until after I had started. I look forward to going back to the first book and continuing on from here.

Anger by Mina Chara is the second book in the Hero High series. This is a fun YA book which many can enjoy. The story picks up where the first book left off. I enjoyed this because it is not only a quick read but it is full of story, character, and world building. This is a read which flows well and I didn’t want to put it down. Figure in the Flames and the copycat Dr Dangerous are back causing problems and Captain Fantastic might become a mentor. The problem is who can she trust. It seems there is someone out to make her fall. I really am enjoying the continuing story and look forward to more in this series.

Releasing Her Power Within by Madilynn Dale is the first book in the Fae Shifters series. This is a well written book that has a great pace throughout it.
This is a new author for me and I found that she had a writing style that was easy to take to. The book was well developed, it start out slow and gained momentum as the story went on. The characters were relatable. Liz was the perfect character for you to get behind.
The overall story was enjoyable. It was easy to read, exciting in all the right places and knew when to push you forward. I definitely liked this book and I am looking forward to seeing what might be next.

Anger (Hero High Book 2) by Mina Chara was a quick and easy read. I loved that I was pulled in easily to the works focusing on Hero High. The author gives a bit of back story similar to what you would see with a tv series. As in previously on…. I loved Friday once again in this second book and holy cow the slow build up between her and Ashley. I loved it. I can’t wait to read more on them. I was intrigued still with the golden syringe and there is definitely more going on. I can’t wait to read what happens in the next book! Such a great and fun read!
Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed is an inventive retelling of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. It is an interesting story with a great cast of characters.
These authors are both new to me so I had no idea what to expect when I started reading it. The book was definitely exciting in parts and a unique way to tell a well known story. I did find parts of the story a little slow but it picked up pace the further into the book you get. The characters were all well developed and had depth about them.
The combination of writing styles in this book complimented each other well and created a seemless story. It was a great introduction to 2 new authors and I would certainly recommend this book.
Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Anger is book 2 in the Hero High series and is set in the near future world of Icon City which is a haven for ‘powered one-percenters’. The story centres around Friday Fitzsimmons who is now in her second year at Hero High which is a famous school for people with powers. However Hero High is not just a school for trainee superheroes it is also a reality TV show and one of many on the Hero Channel. Friday discovers that she can not trust the ‘Hero Channel’ and that someone is lying to her but does not know who. Friday must stop the real super villains along with her hero, Captain Fantastic but is not sure who the actual bad guys are.
Although this is a short story it packs a lot in and it has a fast paced storyline and the world building is great and really pulls you in so you feel totally immersed in Icon City. I like Friday as the main character as she is a strong and independent young lady but she is also very relatable as she suffers from anxiety but does her best to hide this especially from the cameras. I found the introduction at the beginning helpful explaining how Icon City came about and also a brief recap on book one which means you could read this as a standalone story. Personally I think you would appreciate the story better having read book one, Denial. It was an exciting read and a good second book, I look forward to future books in the Hero High series.
Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you liked Denial, then you will love Anger. Mina Chara picks up right where Denial ended. I love the characters with her story. There is one small problem, you do not know who are the bad people and who are good people. One way Mina Chara held my attention is that every time I think I know who is who here comes a detail to deter me from finding out the answers I seek. It is a fast pace story. It kept me at the edge of my seat. The mystery and adventure will keep you wanting more and more. I highly recommend reading Denial first so you can get all of the groundwork for the characters as well as Icon City. Then I would read Anger to see what else is going on.
Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It has been a year since the Reign of Ryton, the Demon king, came to a dramatic end. Leaving Rodrick to face the burdens, yet this time he is not alone.
After foreseeing all the massive deaths on the horizon, Lady Death seeks out the twenty year old prince’s aid in stopping what seems like an unavoidable war.
Roderick agrees to take on this mammoth task with the help of his brother Rayden, which is also his companion, the princess Arcelia and the Queen Riva for support.
But they are in for a fierce ride when they meet a tyrant and a terrorist fighting for control of a country that has suffered under their father’s reign. And here they will find betrayal and intrigue, where secrets are revealed, promises broken and trust is questioned.
What a wonderful book, it had me gripped from the beginning and the story was brilliantly addictive. The characters within the story are very unique, creating a setting that is woven beautifully within the magical and fantasy elements, but a lot of detail has been put into this, which makes it even more interesting. I loved the relationship of the brothers, you see them going through every emotion trying to stop this war, and it certainly does put their relationship to the test.
I would 100% recommend this book, it has action, fantasy, magic, betrayal’s and secrets. It has you gripped from the very beginning.

This is the second book in the series, and i liked it just as much as the first book. This is a young adult story that kept me turning page after page. This story has action, mystery and villains. Who is who? Who is watching? You don’t know exactly what is happening, and hopefully the MC finds out before its to late. I enjoyed the the story and the mystery of it and i am looking forward to reading more of this series and more by this author.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Descendants of Time and Death is the second book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw. This is my first book by Ms. Tataw, and I am regretting not reading the first book before diving into this one. While the story does make sense without having read book one- I think my reading experience would have been better if I’d known what had taken place in the first story.
This is an action- packed adventure/fantasy with interesting world building and characters. Ms. Tataw has created an intricate world with unique characters, lore, culture, and beliefs. There are magic and fantasy elements, all woven around things we are more familiar with- making the story more relatable and believable.
An interesting read!
Thank you, Winnifred Tataw!

Descendants of Time and Death (The God’s Scion Book Two) by Winnifred Tataw, was an interesting book. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect it sounded like a fantasy, but then there were planes in it and cell phones, but it is a fantasy but not quite what we’re used to. Usually in a fantasy the scenario is a save-the-world kind of thing and this was more like a mystery a very interesting mystery. The characters were all very compelling well described and the world was well built, it was a well-written book and the story flows along nicely. It does take a minute to become familiar with the different points of view. The story is written from the point of view of several of the characters, so it takes a bit to get used to that. Since the characters are so well described you very quickly catch on to who is speaking. Just a real good little story I can’t wait to read more of them. It’s not only a mystery it’s also a story about a dysfunctional family and forgiveness and overcoming, it’s a story makes you feel kind of good in the end.

Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion) by Winnifred Tataw was an excellent and exciting read. I loved the creativity behind the characters and the various settings. It was so easy for me to lose myself in this novel that several hours had gone by before I even realized it! I was amazed! I loved Rodrick’s character the most. He had so much on his plate already but seemed to handle more with ease. Having only read this book, I am curious to read book one now. I was not confused at all with this book despite it being second in the series. The author makes it easy for readers to get lost in without having read book one. The storyline had an excellent flow that kept me reading and it had great organization. It was easy to tell which character was speaking and when or when a complete section was on someone different. I loved this book and can’t wait to go back and read book one. Highly recommend it!

I did find myself screaming at my kindle. Rodrick is left to pick up the burden after the Demon King comes to an end. He is finding it quite difficult. He also is learning valuable lessons along the road. Will this be more that he can handle? What is next for Rodrick’s journey? I highly recommend this story. It is full of twists and turns and will keep you turning the pages quickly.

I really enjoyed this story. I havent read the first one and i would recommed reading the first one before this one. However it was easy enough to follow and get into even without reading the first one.
Its a great adventure of two brothers trying to stop a civil war. They need to get both sides of the story from the King and Queen and also the leader of the rebellion.
Which side will they choose and will they be able to stop the war before i even starts?
The author is great at building worlds and images of the magical characters and the worlds they live in. Very well written and gripping

Descendants of Time and Death is the second book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw . I’m going to be real honest I had my doubts about this book going in but man was I wrong. This book blew me out of the water and once I got started reading I couldn’t put it down till the end. Its very creative and packed full of action, secrets, broken promises, and lies. There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book trying to figure out what happens next. Rodrick and his brother have been sent to try and stop a war. Can these two succeed in stopping the war? There are moments I caught myself shaking my head while holding my breath.

I won’t lie, this is not my usual first choice for a novel genre, but this one just seriously drew me in with this cover and a few fascinating teasers I came across for it. I decided to give it a go and I am glad that I did. This book doesn’t bog you down with an overabundance of details and drama; it keeps things actually moving fast and understandable. I loved that I was able to really enjoy the novel in a way I may not have had the chance to do so if it was overladen in details. I really enjoyed reading all about Rodrick and his sweet brother. These two will face a lot in order to stop a war and protect the ones they love. Will they make it through everything and come out safe and sound? I think this is one that I would definitely read again sometime and may check out some of the authors other novels available!

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a little different than I am used to reading but it did keep me turning pages. This is a well developed story that has characters that brought the story to life for me. I could imagine being there with them and felt as if I was on the adventure with Ali. When a mysterious box gets delivered to Ali, her world is about to be turned upside down. Not only that but he is summoned home for his father’s death. He is faced with a mystery to solve of the box and clockwork djinn but may just take faith, knowledge and destiny to solve it. This is a great story I found hard to put down once I got into it. I enjoyed the author’s creation of the characters that kept me reading. I highly recommend this book.

After reading the first book in this series I was so excited to get stuck into the second, it did not disappoint. The story picks up where book one finishes. I would recommend reading them in order to be able to follow the story properly. Whilst this book is only a hundred pages or so it does not fall flat or seem rushed, it’s packed with twist and turns and certainly enough fantasy to keep you gripped from beginning to end. Another great addition to a brilliant new series. Thank you Mina Chara.

Anger (Hero High book 2) by Mina Chara is a 3.5 star read.
Friday Fitzsimmons is still trying to figure her way around Hero High and the camera’s, the new Dr Dangerous is hell bent on finding his place as a villain and making sure Friday is in the middle of his plans. Making new friends along the way Friday is trying to stop her anxiety worries getting in the way of her time at hero high.
There was a little more excitement in this book but it still fell a little flat for me, but when I picked up the book I didn’t put it down until I was finished.
