I have to admit I love finding new authors and books. This was definitely one great find. I love to be plunged into the dark fantasy world that this author has created. I like the fact that the main character has a disability and will not let it hold her back. I love how the author is able to bring the characters to life. The story is created and it unfolds leaving me wanting more. I really did not want to put this book down and I really cannot wait to read more from this author. This was a great diversion from my total favorite genre of paranormal romance.

I really enjoyed this anthology of festive reads. It has really put me in the Christmas spirit. There are 11 stories by 11 different authors all of who have a different and unique tale to tell but each one is entertaining and enjoyable. There are several types of stories in this book from sci-fi fantasy and paranormal to historical, Romance and mystery. There is literally something for everyone no matter what type of story you enjoy reading.
While I don’t have a favourite out of these collection because they were all unique and I loved them all in different ways, it has definately helped increase the overall feeling of Christmas spirit and the magic of this time of year.
One of the stories that really spoke to me was Unwrapping The True Spirit by Electra Gajdos. This is a beautiful story about the Keen family and their journey to find the true meaning of Christmas. It is full of drama, mischief and pranks and really brings the true meaning for Christmas and more importantly the meaning of time with your family to light.
This anthology will be one that I pick up and read every Christmas from now on.
In the search for peace, a mercenary becomes a prince…
In the foreign land of Illena, Leo finds himself with the offer of a country at his feet. With his siblings in tow, he spends his days navigating a new world of finery set on pushing his family out. As the ghost of a brother left behind and the thoughts of a girl who refused to escape never cease to haunt him, the weight of a country hangs heavily over his head.
As Lady Death follows close behind, they must distinguish friend from foe…
When a group of criminals take interest in Leo and his siblings, they must decide whether to trust the people who mirror their former lives in Somereil or turn towards the Bloodlines—Illena’s elite—and start anew. Leo is finally able to fall into an easy trust with his new allies, but he soon discovers a truth that tears his family apart and forces him to choose between his head and his heart.
Will he save his family or his people when the world starts to burn?
Just as Leo begins to see a future in Illena, past enemies soon emerge from the darkness with a promise of blood. While he and his family fight for their freedom, it becomes impossible to find a haven to protect the little they have left. When fierce foes tear those Leo cares about from his grip, his mind begins to sink deeper into despair. Will he overcome the odds and be the hero Illena desperately needs, or will he fuel the flames consuming the peace they’d given so much to attain and become the monster they always feared?
Ayla Marie is a Canadian high school student whose love for fantasy started when she was twelve and hasn’t dulled since. She will read any book you put in front of her—textbooks do not count—especially when they have action packed storylines and a romantic subplot that makes you want to read as fast as you can, while wishing it would never end. Though writing, reading, and studying take up most of her time—or all her time according to her younger brother—she always manages to find space in her schedule to play some soccer and hang out with friends and family. Her goofy dog and two cats are her biggest fans, and though she could have done without the constantly interrupting barks and meows, she loves their annoying presence very much.
The Blood Prince is her debut novel, but she plans to write many more, deepening her love for writing and literature with every page.

This book is a unique, original sci-fi fantasy story set in a futuristic world. I was a little unsure going into this book if I would enjoy it but was intrigued enough to give it a go. The way the story is told is really interesting. The multiple points of view give it a depth and perspective that I wasn’t expecting but makes it even better to read. Each of the characters played their own part in the overall story. I enjoyed getting to see things from more than one view and I think it helped me to connect more with the story. This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Grave Digger Academy IV is part of the Grave Digger fantasy series. It’s aimed at teen and YA readers but will appeal to all who enjoy magic school stories. This book is best enjoyed as part of the series so that you watch the characters grow and develop and see how the story leads on from the previous book.
I love that this story gets us going with some mysteries straight away. Who is Jezabella Peacock and what does she have to do with Makayla? How has the school changed, and what impact will that have on her? There are plenty of twists, it’s a real page-turner! I’m looking forward to reading the fifth book when it comes out.
This book gets five stars from me! I’ve enjoyed other series by this author as well so knew I was in for a treat when I started the Grave Digger Academy series! It’s great for existing fans of the author, as well as being a great entry point.

King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
“Festive Fates” earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars for its engaging mix of 11 short stories by a diverse group of authors. The anthology delivers a delightful holiday escape, seamlessly blending genres and capturing the spirit of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. The stories, ranging from dragons on Thanksgiving quests to Christmas battles with Santa’s army, offer a unique and enjoyable read.The two I liked best were: “Sunshine’s War” by Jill Wallace and “Retired, but not Forgotten” by Natalie Palma stealing the spotlight. Wallace’s heartfelt narrative about two individuals caught in the crossfire of war, unexpectedly meeting in a veggie patch, is a true gem that tugs at the heartstrings. On the other hand, Palma’s “Retired, but not Forgotten” adds a fun twist to the anthology, blending luck, work troubles, and a missing Christmas spirit into a lighthearted yet mysterious adventure. I didn’t much like the alien and paranormal stories -but this is a good winter weekend read.
Festive Fates Anthology is a wonderfully written collection of elven Holiday theme inspired short stories that will surely get you in the Holiday Spirit. I love a good Anthology that has a variety of genres that brings you something different from time to time. There’s several authors that are new to me but there’s also a couple I’ve read other books by. Each story brings something a little different but one thing they have in common is Holiday Spirit/ Romance. The characters are relatable fully developed and bring the stories to life. Grab yourself a copy and prepare to be put in Holiday Spirit. I highly recommend reading this Anthology and I look forward checking out the new to me authors and what other books they have written.
This book is a great collection of festive stories, by a talented group of authors. Each book was different from the rest, so it was easy to differentiate between them. There is a great mix of genres throughout the book, which I really enjoyed. The anthologies I have read previously tend to be all one kind. The variety made it much more interesting to read. Each of these authors brought something to the collection and I enjoyed them all for different reasons. Some had great characters, others had well written storylines. This was a brilliant way to discover some new authors and I will definitely be checking out more of their work.
Grave Digger Academy IV (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King. This is the next fun installment in the Grave Digger Academy and it picks up the summer before school is about to start. The old headmistress has left and the new one is Ulva Everbleed. The building is half finished because the Crones shut down construction. The only way you can go back to school is if you received a letter. Makayla is excited to get a letter but when she sees her friends they ignore her. There are lots of changes this year, new headmistress, new teachers and new students. She doesn’t know who she can trust. Everything seems to be weird and unpredictable. Some people have disappeared and some are acting strange. Makayla is being watched at everything she does and she can’t have her helpers this year. This book is full of death, witches, paranormal, magic and mystery. Another great installment but I do recommend you read them in order.

I have read a few books from this author and she never disappoints. I love the way she writes in perfect detail. This is the fourth book in the very addictive series of the Grave Digger Academy. You do need to read the other books in the series or you will be lost. I was so excited when I got this book so I started to read it right away. I could not put it down until the end. It only took me a few hours to read this story and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Makayla is ready for another year at the Grave Digger Academy. When she gets there things have changed. They have a new headmistress and also other people watching them all the time. Makayla is so upset when she finds out she also can’t have any of her helpers with her. She is shocked when her past asks for her help but does she have anyone that she can count on?

Festive Fates: 11 Spirited Holiday Tales Anthology by SE Smith, Jill Wallace, Eliza Sinclair, Kyndra Hatch, Candace Colt, Natalie Palma, Winnie Winkle, Electra Gajdos, Stephanie Harrell, Pauline Baird Jones, Cassandra Chandler. This is an amazing anthology of Holiday romances, sci fi, paranormal, mystery and fantasy. They are so good and each one has its own story by they seem to fall in line as well. These stories revolve mainly around Christmas but there are some other holiday’s as well. These stories will for sure get you in the holiday mood. A couple of my favorite stories are Unwrapping the True Spirit by Electra Gajdos which is a story of finding the true meaning of Christmas. It follows the Keen family and all of their drama, pranks and family dynamics. Retired, but not Forgotten (A Madison Law Prequel) By: Natalie Palma. I loved this story. Its the story of Madison who is a retired detective and now a private investigator. She had to retire as a police detective due to medical reasons so she really wasn’t ready but has really enjoyed the Private Investigating gig. This is a short cozy mystery. Sunshine’s War by Jill Wallace. This is an amazing historical romance and I loved every word! If you need any help getting into the holiday spirit or just love a varied collection of stories this is the anthology for you!
This is a first novel for the author. It was very well written and kept my interest. The author nailed it with a mix of history and fantasy that pulls the read right in. I enjoyed the characters – they all were important to the story line. I liked the idea of a young man finding himself – waking up feeling different and then embracing what is happening. Overall, this is a fantastic read for young adult/middle grades readers.

Grave Digger Academy IV was my favorite of the series, so far. I literally did not put it down, reading it in one sitting. Makayla is back at Grave Digger Academy, but everything is different this year. There is a new headmistress, and a lot of the students didn’t return, or perhaps weren’t invited back, or maybe disappeared….everyone has a different theory. There is so much going on and the plot thickened a lot in this one. Relationships were built with others strengthened and some severed. It wasn’t quite as much of a cliff hanger ending, but left a lot open. I cannot wait for the next book. I need to know where this is heading and ends. Because the things that happened in this book, I did not expect.

I also liked that there are some new authors in this book as well. I could not wait to read it so I started right when I got it. These stories take you on an adventure that you will not forget. I read them all and it only took me a couple of days to finish. I’m now going to look up all these authors and see what else they have written and read some more books of theirs.

Such a great historical fantasy, I was hooked from the beginning. I loved that no time was wasted getting to the point that something different was going on with Elbert. I love that even while he was going through this and discovering himself, his family stuck with him. This story definitely left me wanting more, I know their father felt Juni would carry this magic but I feel Finn also will, so I wish we could get a series with this book. I enjoyed the flow of the book, there’s no dragging out and the ending doesn’t feel rushed with the trappers. I feel readers of all ages will love this book, older readers will get a Tuck Everlasting feel while you’re wanting to protect Valora and her family.

This is a cute story to read. It is well written and fun to read. It is a story about a young boy who starts to feel something funny inside him. When he realizes it is magic, he now has to decide to embrace it or find it a curse. This young boy is a great character. I enjoyed watching him try to sort out his emotions. He is a strong character that any older child would enjoy reading about. There is great plot growth which just added to this child’s story. I enjoyed reading it. This is a great fantasy story that I highly recommend.

Hope For a New World is Book One in The Hope Series. It is a sci-fi fantasy that contains the underlying message about protecting the environment. The story is told from the POV of several characters that are easy to get emotionally invested with due to their strength, courage, and determination to save mother earth. The earth has been destroyed by power, corruption, greed, and pollution. One group of strong women sets off on a mission to heal mother earth. This book had an intriguing storyline with fantasy, action, suspense, and a strong underlying message about climate change. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Book Two.

The Befallen (The Unsung and The Wolf Duology) by Cambria Williams is a great dark fantasy book
Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she’s capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to her village, she’s shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in the goddesses of the moon, she’s forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she’s determined to help them.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks. This is such a good fantasy, young adult read. Its the story of Elbert who lives on a farm in the early 20th century. Elbert thinks he’s just a normal teenager with a normal family until one day he begins to physically feel different. He gets a weird sensation on his chest and he begins to grow feathers. He begins to see the world differently and almost feels at one with nature. As Elbert goes thru his self discovery he struggles with self doubt and grief. While going thru this process he begins to really feel like himself and learns to be the real Elbert. There is magic, shape shifting, mythical themes and magical abilities. This is such a fun journey for young adults and even older adults!

This is a unique and interesting story that is really well written and thought through. As a debut novel it really showcases what this author has to offer. It is a historical fantasy story that draws you in with ease. It has a depth about it that you don’t always get from books like this and is more than I expected it would be. I enjoyed the characters in the book. Each had their own part to play and added something to the storyline. I wanted to know more about them and their journey. This book is a great book and I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next.

This is the 3rd book in the Grave Digger Academy series. It is a must read for fans of paranormal fantasy fiction. I think out of the three books, this is the most creative and fans will appreciate it. There’s lots of adventure, fun and a touch of romance.
This series follows Makayla on her adventure within the academy after learning of her rare ability to see and communicate with the dead. The mysterious and secret school for people with her abilities turns out to be a great fit allowing her to learn more about her power plus uncover the mysterious realm called the afterlife.
This book presents Makayla and her friends with their biggest challenge to date. They are forced to fight a sinister plot to disrupt the balance between the living and the dead. There is a lot of growth throughout the series and especially in this challenging chapter.
I hope you enjoy stories that include humor, emotions, action, and suspense because this one is overflowing with it all!
I think everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this story. It is so well written and has a good balance of characters, plot & incredible dialogue. I highly recommend.

King-Review by Amelia Stansell
I love Christmas stories! This book was such a cool take on it! Original Christmas stories with a fantasy/sci-fi twist. Such a fun read, like nothing you’ve ever read before. Read this book if you like romance, action, sci-fi, and so many plot twists! All separate stories, all new characters, and all fun experiences!
There are 11 festive holiday stories in this anthology and never a dull moment. This is an excellent way to bring in the festive holiday spirit. Each story is a paranormal adventure with witches, aliens, shifters, and much more. It was easy to settle into this book with a glass of wine for some danger, mayhem, magical realms, and laughter. I was pulled into these stories and read the book straight through!
Breathtaking introductory novel. This is only her first book and I feel she will have a wonderful career ahead. The talent Cambria Williams brings into the imagination was inspiring, and original. Dual perspectives Sloane and Tolvar. Sloane is like every kid growing up that helps their father, looking forward to the day they are “old” enough to do it on their own. We meet Sloane on that day, she is to walk to the next village, Asana, to the market to sell her father’s leatherwork and return home for the Prodigal Moon Celebration. Enjoying a night in the next town filling her belly before the fasting for the moon goddess, she waits to return the next morning. Sloane is not just any girl but one with physical limitations, a nine-mile walk requires a great deal more time than the average person. She’s never dissuaded and happily allows herself time for safe travels only when she reaches her village, Mohn, it is only remnants of people she knew. The Befallen had attacked in the night while she was away sucking the life out of everyone in the village. The next day she settles to return to the neighboring village to start a life for herself only to be robbed on the way and then find Asana had been devoid of life as well while she was gone. Tolvar is from Capella Realm and only on the island of Deogol in search of the “mythical” savoir from the Befallen, The Unsung. Only his scars run deep, and he is happier at the bottom of a barrel of ale than keeping faith in his “redemption”. Many in the land have forgotten the words of Edan Lore, Sloane, being from a very devoted village has not wavered in her faith but struggles with being seen only for her physical appearance and truly being seen. She has something powerful within her, waiting to be seen. What will happen when Sloane and Tolvar come face to face? Will her faith be enough to save her island from darkness and ruin? Everything about this world the author creates pulls you deeper into its realm. The language, the descriptions, the emotions. The characters are everyday people, at least to a point, Tolvar is a knight, but I digress. Sloane is a common girl from a tiny mostly unknown village, with a disability, and the faith to keep her fighting with all that she has even after she has lost everything she ever known. Tolvar has suffered the loss of everything he once held as important and now struggles with his own guilt and hunger for redemption that he no longer holds faith in until he finds Sloane. I truly cannot wait to see what this incredible new author has in store next.
