Denial (Hero High Book 1)Denial by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story was fast moving full of action. It is in the genre of YA but do not let that sway you away from this book. It is full of people with special powers. It takes place in Icon City, a have for powered one-percenters. How could you go wrong? You are among people who have special abilities like you. There are some different people who seem to be annoying. Will she ( the main character) figure out what is going on? Can her and Jake(best friend) survive this new school? I recommend this story to find out this and other amazing details.

Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“When Fate Calls, Should You Answer?”
Excalibur, the legendary sword, “calls out across the ages for a worthy hand”, and a cynical American student Lance is the chosen one. Although cynical Lance recognises his own destiny and so accepts fate and Excalibur. The voice of Excalibur becomes louder as Lance travels into the supernatural world below the London he is familiar with. As Lance becomes involved in warring families alongside friend Megan, he must find the hero inside himself and discover whether, “he rules the sword, or does the sword rule him?”. This is an exciting and gripping read which had me hooked from page one. A great mix of legend, myth, the supernatural and drama it is a fast paced page turner.
Black Blade is a unique twist on the legend of Excalibur and I liked Lance’s character, the unlikely hero who here’s the sword calling to him. This book took me on a great adventure along with Lance and it is wonderfully written. I was immersed in the supernatural world below London thanks to Charalambides great world building. I found it was an exciting and fun read.

Hero High, Denial, by Mina Chara is a wonderful superhero story. This story is fast paced, action packed, and full of sass all the way through! From the first page you’re thrown into it, and it keeps you until you’ve read the whole book! I look forward to starting the second installment in the Hero High Series, Anger. I loved Mina’s writing style and I can’t wait to dive back into the world of Hero High!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lance is a hero who does his best to survive high school, especially in a world that doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. When his school receives a donation from an anonymous millionaire, Lance and his friend Megan, embark on an international trip to England.

Here, they will find a hand, bearing a sword, appears in a toilet bowl. From then on Lance knows he was the one to employ it. So, he has been called on a Quest with three Wizards named Albrecht, Reinhardt and Kendrick, along with Megan to safeguard Excalibur. Lance must also keep his friends safe from the army of magical soldiers.

Black Blade is a well written story and has everything from action to paranormal and was very enjoyable to read. It is a modern day story of Excalibur and a wonderful twist on the fairytale, where Lance, Megan and the wizards are all on a treasure hunt.

This is a really enjoyable book and would really recommend. It is full of twist and turns with fantasy, adventure and amazing characters. Looking forward to reading more from the author.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows Book Two by K.H. Jones – Review by Joanne Ellis

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two 2)Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows by Kimm Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the last book, we saw Night Scream collect blood debts for jaw for the Dogs Clan. Then when fellow ranger Warhold disappeared, Scream searched for answers to find him.

There he found lost survivors of the destroyed Ravens Clan. We meet up again with Night scream where he continues his hunt for his missing fellow ranger. This will force him into unknown territory in search of the killers.

This picks up right where we left off from the first book and we follow Night Scream’s journey. Again, the story is very well written, everything is perfectly detailed and as soon as I picked up the book I was totally engrossed. The characters are great, there is everything from suspense, danger, action and drama.

Would definitely recommend and looking forward to more.

Again another really enjoyable book from this author, I really enjoyed the first book so I was looking forward to seeing what the author had to offer in his second instalment and again I was transported to a fantasy land where the writing was richly and vividly detailed. This book picks up where book 1 ended so I definitely recommend they are read in order. I really enjoyed the pace of this story it was quite fast but not too fast that I got lost; my attention was kept from beginning to end. Again the character development was a huge strength for this book, they are well thought out and planned. There were some good plot twists and I liked the story didn’t really go as I thought it would – definitely kept me on my toes!
A fantastic 4 star read that I highly recommend!

Denial (Hero High Book 1)Denial by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. I haven’t read her work before, but I enjoyed this book. At first I thought it was going to be cheesy because of the names of the city and characters. They were not very original, using names like Super Structure, Hero High, and Captain Fantastic. Despite that, I am glad I stuck out the story because I ended up loving it. Its a great start to a series that I think will be awesome. The writing style is very descriptive and you feel like you’re right there alongside the characters. It seems like The Incredibles meets XMen, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
The book follows 17 year old Friday, who has powers. She is shipped off to Hero High, which is a school for those with powers, but doubles as a reality show. They are followed by cameras, and merchandise is made to look like them and sold in the malls. These super kids are assigned a team and a mentor, have their wardrobes picked for them, the whole nine yards. Friday is trying to stay in the shadows, but keeps finding herself in the spotlight.

Anger (Hero High, #2)Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book follows right where Denial (book 1) leaves off. Friday is trying to figure out what is going on and who has her back (and who doesn’t). She is under constant scrutiny because people are watching her every move. She also knows some people are probably acting for the cameras and not being honest. She doesn’t know if anyone can be trusted!
I enjoyed this book. I am not much of a superhero story reader…but I have found myself pulled into both books in this series. I want to know what’s really going on as much as the main character does! There is a lot…but it isn’t overwhelming. I will continue to read the series to get my answers!

Denial (Hero High Book 1) by Mina Chara
4 out of 5 stars

Denial is the first book in the Hero High series written by Mina Chara and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. This is a fast-paced story that takes you to a school where powered people live and train. The main character Friday seems to follow her own drum and is finding out that strange things are happening around her. The secondary characters and the main character are interesting, and I enjoyed the interactions and their quirks.

Friday’s father finds out she has powers, so he sends her to the most famous school for powered people in the world, Hero High. Now she has to live at the Super Structure, and let cameras follow her round every day. She never knew how many expectations they had for powered people. Does she fit in? Dos she wants to be a superhero. Can she live with the cameras following her daily?
You will need to read this story to find out.

This was a great little adventure. Even though its just 150 pages long it has everything a great book needs and leaves the reader wanting more.

Friday is sent to Hero High to train to be a superhero. However its not all plain sailing. Every where she turns she gets into trouble.

Friday is trying to prove herself but there is a lot of distractions. The main one being who is the person they are calling the Figure in the Flames?

Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Jonell Collins

Black BladeBlack Blade by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first started reading Black Blade (Black Blade Book 1) by Alexander Charalambides, I was a bit put off with the short clipped dialogue of our hero and heroine. But as I continued to read, I realized how normal that was. That is exactly how a great many of us speak and communicate. It was worth sticking with it because as you progress through the story the other characters in the story have dialogue that is a thing of beauty. I love language and how it flows together, and this author brings it to the fore. The characters are very unique, well described and memorable. The world he builds is diverse and you can almost smell it. There is plenty of action, twists and turns and quite unpredictable. Then, of course, there is always the story within the story. Just a little head up here the story goes at a nice little pace until you near the end. It’s a page turning roller coaster after that. Be prepared.

In Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) by James Talisman we meet again some of the same characters from the first book and who doesn’t like a save-the-world book. With young adults Matt, Julia, and Dan who are on their way to … becoming, and the characters on the spaceship Basilisk having second thoughts, this is a great little world that gets your mind to thinking. This is not a book to just zip through it’s a book to think through.

Age of Secrets: Druid’s Brooch Series: #8 by Christy Nicholas, is a delightful book. Reading this book was pure enjoyment. It’s a slowed motion kind of book and you really get to know Fingin. It’s like he becomes a really good friend because you know about his past and you know how he’s living now. The story develops at a slow pace so that you become familiar with all the other characters and their places of importance in Fingin’s life. A story so well-written you feel like you’re right there with him on his journey. Through his quest he finds purpose in life and I especially like this quote from the book…”Friends who make one forget self-loathing are treasures beyond that of gold or silver.” If you need a breath of fresh air this is a book you’re really going to love…

The Finder of the Lucky Devil by Megan Mackie was such a delightful story. I loved this book. This book had me sucked in at the very first few pages. And then it was just a terrific read all the way through. It was exciting, it was adventurous, it was action packed. Go with Rune on this amazing adventure and discover who this mysterious man, St. Benedict is. What is his place in this story. It’s a well written story, it has wonderful characters, and the world that Maggie has built is easily visualized. Plenty of twists and turns here. It’s just a romping good story. If you like fantasy with a little mystery mixed in, you will really like this book. It’s left a little bit open ended which makes me think we will be seeing more of Rune and St. Benedict and I can’t wait.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it from page one to the very end. It was a short story so I got through it pretty quickly. The characters really brought this story to life and they’re what made this story good. The main character had powers that get her sent away to school. She needs to learn all she can especially about the others around her. I cannot wait to see what else this author had in store for us and I am looking forward to reading more of this series. I would recommend this to a friend.

Black Blade is the first book I have read by Alexander Charalambides. This book brings the story of Excalibur to modern times. Although this book started out slow for me, it really came on strong a couple of chapters in. It is full of action and adventure, and the characters really grew as the story progressed. Lance and Megan, American teenagers, take a special trip for college to the UK to tour a museum, and that is where the story begins. I really like that the story is told in multiple POV. You really learn what each of the characters are thinking that way. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by Alexander Charalambides.

Anger (Hero High Book w) by Mina Chara picks up where the first book left off. It is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story where a lot happens as the students learn more about themselves and what they can do and adjusting to life as a hero and being in a television reality show. Friday seems to always find herself in situations not of her making and getting herself out of them, but she is also drawn to finding out just what is going on and who is involved. If you love adventure heroes, a little mystery and an evil Dr D then this series is an intriguing read.

Anger (Hero High Book 2) by Mina Chara. This is the 2nd entertaining book in the Hero High series. Its the story of a girl with super powers and she has been a part of the Hero Channel’s most famous show Hero High. She meets 2 important heroes in this episode, the Figure of the Flames and Dr Dangerous. She is also dealing with anxiety on how to fit in to the school just like a normal teenager. She is trying to avoid the cameras that film her 24/7 so that she can investigate some bad guys. Her persona hero, Captain America wants to take her under her wing but his mentee Ashley is not having it. She doesn’t trust Hero High in fact she doesn’t know who to trust or not to trust. This book will keep you turning the pages until the very end. Its a fantastic book!

I found that the characters are what makes this story of Excalibur fun. Lance, the main character, always knew that he was special. He could sense the greatness within himself. He has some rough times ahead. I recommend this story. It is the perfect break you need from the craziness of today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This whole series has been an interesting new look at fantasy novels for me. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I picked up that first book in this Testament of Feats series. This second book I had a bit more of an idea going into it that I was excited to get my hands on it and discover what would come next for our main character Scream. We follow along from book one into this book so I would recommend that you go back and start with book one first if you can before diving into this one. In this installment we witness a lot of character growth that I had hoped to see and then some. I love how this covers a little bit of everything from fantasy, adventure, action, drama and intrigue to the slow sweet touches of romance and sad notes of sorrow as the book title attests. I think this book is really a great example of having something for everyone and could spread across ages. I look forward to seeing what the next book in the series will bring for us and how things will turn out for these characters I have grown to love.

Anger (Hero High Book 2) by Mina Chara – Review by Faith Jackson

Anger (Hero High, #2)Anger by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She knows she has to be careful because they’re looking.
She was a fixation on the show and a daily part of the Hero Channel’s show, “Hero High.” She met two important heroes in the Figure in the Flames and the copycat Mr Dangerous. Life in the superstructure is hazardous and meddling, especially when trying to expose the truth behind where the bad guys come from. She’s trying to avoid the cameras but she knows they know something.
She is distrustful of the Hero’s Channel. There’s no telling who the bad guys are or vice versa. Her personal hero, Captain Fantastic wants to take her under his wing but there’s one problem: His personal mentee; Ashley.
She doesn’t know who to trust or where to go for the truth.
The mysteries of these books are compelling and the fact that the author puts you in the front seat as “She/Her” is even better for the reader. We get to use our imagination in this futuristic novel. I’ve loved both books so far. I’m keeping this on my waitlist for the rest of this collection.

Denial by Mina Chara a four-star read that you won’t be able to deny. This is number one in the Hero High series and shows promise for the rest of the series, this was such a short read, I latterly started it thinking I would read a couple of pages and then start some work, but I started it and finished it and then started the work. Friday is the main character and she will make you smile, she is such a firecracker, watching her story will just keep you hooked. The rest of the series cant come son enough as I want to see what will happen next.
