Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Rachel Moss

Descendants of Time and Death ( The Gods' Scion, #2)Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw was a good novel. It didn’t grab me like I thought it would. This is the first novel I’ve read by this author, and the reason it probably didn’t grab my attention like I wanted and confused me was probably because I haven’t read the first book in the series. I did enjoy reading this novel, I just probably should have read the first installment before I read this one. There was a great storyline and characters, just again I wasn’t pulled in like I thought I would be from the synopsis I read. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale
By Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed
5 out of 5 stars

The story Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn: A Steampunk Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail and Day Al-Mohamed is a wonderful book to read. It pulls you in right from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. It is a story that has adventure, danger, and magic. It is a book which tells the story of Ali bin-Massoud and how in one night in which he receives a mysterious box, his life is never the same. I found that I liked the character of Ali bin-Massoud and wanted him to succeed in unraveling the mysteries of a puzzle box and the clockwork djinn. He finds himself summoned home after the death of his father. He has to beware of thieves and those who wish to do him harm. Will he realize his destiny? Read the full story to see what happens to Ali bin-Massoud. The book is never boring and very entertaining. It is written in such a way that I felt I was right there with the characters. Many additional characters are introduced, and they are helpful to Ali bin-Massoud. There are also those whose only thought is of themselves. This is a wonderful book that will take you from England to the sands of the desert. I would recommend reading it.

We follow the life of a young, seventeen year old abnormal teen. About two years ago, her life changed as she knew it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw a five-star read worth your worship. This is number two in the Gods Scion series and I would say pick up number one if you can, but if you cant then give it a go as the author does a great job with world building and character development in this story and you really do feel part of the story, there is so much going on in this story, and I don’t want to give the secrets away so I am keeping this short and sweet, as the author does a great job of this story and you would be sorry to miss it.

5 out of 5 stars

The story Releasing Her Power Within (Fae Shifters Book 1) by Madilynn Dale is a paranormal fantasy book. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I loved reading about the character of Liz. She loves her job as a Physical Therapy Assistant even if she feels overworked. She finds herself moving to the cabin left to her by her mother and taking a new job. She finds that her new home and surroundings revealing a story that she was not expecting. What does the future hold for Liz? Will she find the answers to the mysteries behind her heritage and the cabin she now resides in? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Liz with each chapter that I read and wanted her to be happy. I also liked that her character is thoughtful and looks to understand what is going on around her. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact with Liz. I especially liked Liz’s best friend. The story had me wondering what was going to happen next. This is a book that is exciting and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

This is the second book in the series. We again are following along with a Friday Fitzsimmons on her life at Hero High. We get to see some old characters in here that we met in book 1. Friday is moving along with her Hero job and now she has runs across a couple syringes. She is trying to find out where they came from and who is using them. Meanwhile she is working with her mentor to improve her skills.

This is enjoyable and a fun read. Poor Friday gets into all kinds of trouble while on her quest.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Testament of Feats is the 2nd book in the Book of Sorrows series by K.H Jones. At first I was bummed that it seemed like a whole new story. It did not pick up where book 1 left off, and for that I was sad. I wanted to know what happened with Scream and Mina. But, since I enjoyed the first book, I kept going. Glad I did, because they are later in the story. I had a hard time keeping things straight for a good portion of this book. Its several stories going on independently, then they all come together in the last 1/4 of the book. The author is very talented! There is so much going on, so many characters, and their worlds and backstories are all so detailed. I don’t normally enjoy this genre, but I really enjoyed this series. If there is a book 3, I will be reading it also! Highly recommend.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two 2) by Kimm Jones, Marshal Jones was a great 4 star read.

We pick up where we left off on the first book, so make sure you read that book first.
Night Scream continues to look for his friends and encounters quite the adventure and danger.
He also encounters others that have their own plans.

Will Night Scream find the Rangers? Will other agendas interfere?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. We have so many great characters in this exciting world. We get romance, suspense and so much more along with twists and turns. You get pulled right in and don’t want to stop until you are done. This world is so fascinating and the characters make it so much better. I like it when a story surprises you and this one kept me on the edge of my seat. If you’re looking for a great read I suggest this series. 1-click and get started today.

This book took me on an adventure that was so full of emotion. This is the second book in this series and let me just say that you should read the first book if you haven’t already for the best experience. The author did an exceptional job in writing with such detail that I felt like I was along for the adventure with the characters. In this book there is danger, twists and turns, romance, sorrow, and let’s not forget an original array of characters and world building. I truly enjoyed the first book but I have to say that I liked this one even better! I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait to read what’s next.

This is a new author for me and I enjoyed this book. I can’t wait to see what comes next for her. I enjoyed how well developed this book is. Her attention to details made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. I enjoyed how the characters made the story come to life and I had no problem connecting with them. Liz has come to a point in her life that she wants more. Her mother left her a cabin so she decided to take a leap and move there. Now she is starting a new job and a new chapter. The cabin comes with its own mysteries and stories, will Liz figure them out? Will she regret her leap of faith? This is a great story that I had a hard time putting down. I was pulled in right from the start with Liz. I don’t regret picking this book up and neither will you. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the exciting second book in Jones’s ‘Testament of Feats’ series and having read and thoroughly enjoyed book one I was not disappointed by this second instalment. I personally think that you do need to read this series in order to fully appreciate the storyline and to know the characters backstories. This book carries on from the first book and the ‘Ranger’ named Night Scream is continuing his hunt for his missing fellow Ranger, Warhold. When Scream encounters problems on his journey it forces him to go into wildling territory in search of killers.
This is a fast paced fantasy adventure with great characters, both the heroes and villains come alive off the page thanks to the authors wonderful descriptions. The is a unique story which really pulled me in and I was gripped by Scream’s epic adventure, as I was with book one. I felt I was immersed in the storyline by the authors detailed world building. I recommend this epic fantasy adventure.

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and I am now hooked. This is the first book from the Hero High series and what a perfect start to a series. I was excited when I started this book. I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end. These characters hooked me into their story and I can’t wait to read more.

Friday is like your normal seventeen year old. She had friends and family but when her dad finds out she has a super power he ships her to a special school. Friday is shipped to the number one hero school, Hero High. She is now in a more structured environment that she doesn’t like. Friday also has to be filmed everyday but at least she has her best friend by her side. She is surprised when she finds out what it takes to be a superhero. Friday doesn’t have the time because this man that is on fire is making trouble and Friday needs to find out why. Will Friday fit into her new school or will she be the outcast?

You feel like you are in the story right along side of the characters as they face many dangers and unexpected events.

Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Anger is the second book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. This is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story set in a near future world, Icon City. This book follows on from book one, picking up where book one ended. So, if you haven’t read the first book, I highly recommend that you do, so you have all the information you need to enjoy this book fully.
Friday knows she’s being watched, but she needs answers and is trying to figure everything out. She has to be careful and not let on what she’s doing- because she really doesn’t know who she can trust- especially Hero Channel. There is a lot for her to keep track of, and a lot to try and piece together. She’ll have to trust herself and be strong to get through.
A great instalment in the series- an interesting little adventure, with mystery, drama, an evil villain, and more. So, if you love young adult fantasy, with mystery, adventure, and ‘superhero’ types- then you will definitely want to add this to your collection.

Thank you, Mina Chara!

A Study in Spirits: A College Fae magic series #2 by Byrd Nash. Some times I have a hard time getting into a fantasy type story unless I’m really wanting one but I had absolutely no problem diving right into this one. The author did a wonderful job of writing a story that draws you in. This group of characters really know how to keep you hooked. There’s twist and turns I wasn’t expecting and loved every bit of. While on the shorter side it still packs a punch and had me happily lost in the pages well into the night. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything, with characters you won’t soon forget. I’m so excited to see where this author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

This novel by Mina Chara was really good. Today, Superheroes are a really big deal. Maybe they have always been a big deal, just ask any young boy with a comic book collection. What made this book interesting was the fact that it is a book about superheroes just starting out. They are all young and new to their superhero attributes. Mina Chara included in her story some adventure and suspens which made for a very interesting read. I look forward to continuing the adventure in the next installment of Mina Chara’s series.

Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara was a great quick read. The pacing is fast and the introductions done quickly. I pictured the story as a comic book while I was reading and enjoyed it tremendously. I think this is a great young adult read and opens a few doors to have discussions with your kids if they read it. My son is too young but I am trying early on to turn him into a reader so I can understand how his brain works. I loved the setting, the characters, and the plots presented. I look forward to more from this series!

Mina Chara is a new author for me. This was a relatively short book, 3 chapters is all- but so full of information without being info overload. I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next. This book is about Friday Fitzsimmons and her beginning at Hero High. Throughout the book you meet new people who influence her in both positive and negative ways.Friday leaves her home, basically kicked out by her father, to get money for her family. She’s always wanted to be a hero, even if she doesn’t think her power is very good. It’s a quick read but very detailed. I enjoyed this and can’t wait for the next installment. There are so many different questions that she left open ended, I have no doubt the next books will be just as amazing.

I don’t read many novels of this genre but I will be checking out more books from Christy Nicholas now that I’ve read this book.
Its a book with a comfortable vibe to it, its pace is steady and I loved the descriptions that Christy Nicholas used to really set the scene. The characters are complex and I think its easy to relate to the main character Fingin who feels like hes an outsider in life and takes comfort and peace in the shape of a dog called Bran. A great insight to the relationship of man and mans best friend.
A feel good read and good if you’re looking something a little different.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Denial is book 1 of 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 seventeen year old Friday who is in her first year at Hero High, a famous school for people with powers. She has to live within the super structure and she has cameras following her around all the time. The school has very high expectations of its powered pupils but thankfully Friday has best friend Jake with her to help her settle in. Although this is a short story it packs a lot in and is a great start to the Hero High series. It has a fast paced storyline and the world building is well done, as I felt immersed in Icon City. I liked the main characters, Friday and Jake, and all the secondary characters were fascinating too and I look forward to them getting their own stories during the series.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows by K.H. Jones is the second book in this series. We pick up following Night Scream in his search for the missing ranger. A big recommendation is to read the first book in the series before this one because this picks up right up. Again we are led on an adventure that drew me in where I did not want to put this down. There is a lot of world and character development but it is presented clearly and in an entertaining way. I did not feel confused or lost at any time. I really enjoyed the character Night Scream and enjoyed following the journey.
