Heart’s Rescue (Fallen Hearts Book #1) by Meredith Hart – Review by Angela Hayes

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Heart’s Rescue is the first book in the Heart’s Below/Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. It is a wonderfully epic romantic fantasy- with an enemies to lovers theme, action, adventure, magic, danger, drama, monsters, fate, family dynamics, chemistry, steam, superb world-building, interesting characters, layers, banter, violence, emotion, and more.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Hart, her rich, detailed and descriptive writing easily brought her world, and all the characters, to life- and quickly grabbed my attention and pulled me into the story where I got to experience all the action and developments right alongside the characters.
The story hooked me right from the beginning and held me in its grasp the whole way through. I got quite lost in the story (in a great way) and I didn’t want to leave, even when I had devoured every last word. I can’t wait to see where we go from here!
Meredith Hart has done it again with this fantastic start to her series, because if this book is anything to go by- the rest of the series is set to be even more awesome! Bring it on!
Highly recommended!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Meredith Hart!

Tears Into Gold by Cori Cooper is an original and fun fantasy story that has a definite fairytale feel to it. I got the ‘vibe’ of several well-known and loved fairytales from this story, such as Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and the Emperor’s New Clothes. It gave the story an extra element of intrigue and mystery that I really loved.
I have read and enjoyed all of Ms. Cooper’s books, and this was no exception. I Can’t wait to see what she does next.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Cori Cooper!

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oooo, the goosebumps. This is the first book I have read by the incredible Meredith Hart, and I cannot wait to read more of her work. With a guaranteed Happily Ever After it makes the book so much more rewarding seeing how much they overcome and how they reach that happy ending. Dual perspectives of Rowan and Arryn.
Rowan is a sentry in the Lands Below, the screams of his neighbors draw him out into the night to find his fatally wounded older brother Phaedron. Using his “freak” magic Rowan saves his brother by doing something Charay has never seen done before with magic. Arryn is a high-born lady of the Kingdom of Summer in the Worlds Above. Her unofficially betrothed Prince Folwynn went missing while trying to travel to the Lands Below and back to rescue his sister’s heart. After a talk with her older brother Petya, she decides she is going to take out some of the chance and go find the prince herself in hopes of getting a proper betrothal to him. Rowan finds the monster that killed three of his neighbors and cut off his brother’s arm, delivering him to the Royal Guard of the Crystal City, only after giving him a good beating and taking the solid crown he wore. Arryn succeeds in escaping her mother’s watchful eye to go find her prince, when darkness begins to fall, she uses her magic, for a simple moment she relishes in the feel of the warmth before the voice of shame crashes into her mind by way of her mother’s voice. Rowan takes over the day patrols of the Outer Ring, while the Void Beasts patrol at night. Until she falls into the void…. changing everything. No longer a pawn to her mother’s “plan” she begins to see the pain it caused and the lies she saw as love and affection. Rowan sees light and finds a warmth he never expected to find in the void.
Will Arryn succeed in finding “her” Prince? How do they find the happy ending they deserve? The world the author creates is so in depth, each place has pieces throughout the book that build more on the world as it expands during their travels. While this may be a fantasy book the characters are complex and relatable. They surprise you repeatedly in their actions and keep you on the edge of your seat as you search for the happily ever after. I can’t wait to start book two, Hearts Lost, to learn more about Aloserin.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a fan of Sarah J Maas, I really enjoyed this book. Arryn and Rowen’s chemistry was palpable and such high intensity. They clash a few times because they come from such different backgrounds, but overall I really liked it! My only problem was there was some errors in the text that made things a little difficult, but once that I got passed them, it got easier to read. Arryn having to go to the Frozen Lands Below to rescue her prince, and Rowen being asked to escort her, neither one is too thrilled. But as the story progress, they both realize that the other person is nothing like they would seem to believe!

Such a fun story to read. I enjoyed the characters and their story. The main character feels relatable and real. The story has different aspects that draw me to it but the growth and the way the characters develop was the main reason for me to stick with it. I was pleased with the ending.

This was the first book by this author that I have read. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it sounded interesting and the cover was cool. I’m so glad I gave it a chance! It started a little slow and confusing for me but within a few chapters I was addicted. I really liked Rowan’s character and I felt connected with Arryn’s character. The world building was excellent and what an interesting world it is! I liked the ending and am looking forward to reading more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart’s Rescue is the first book in the paranormal fantasy Fallen Hearts series. This story is told from alternating POV’s given us a much broader and in-depth view of just who they are. It’s my fav way of storytelling. I have only previously read one book by Meredith and really enjoyed it.
Meredith writing style paints a vivid picture of this new world. The world building was intricate but well woven together. The characters are fleshed out, fully realised and well written. They may be broken but they take charge and forge ahead.
Rowan and Arryn’s adventure is full of action, violence, danger and monsters. Two people from different worlds with misconceived idea’s, misunderstandings and miscommunications start these characters on an even rockier road as they go from enemies-to-lovers. It did take a minute to settle in with the characters but thankfully they are revealed as the layers are peeled back and do grow on you.
There is a lot going on in the background in this fast-paced tale that is full of magic, a bit of mystery, some sassiness, a touch of humour, banter, and some steamy romance.
Meredith’s exciting new world has many characters. There are elves, dwarves, dragons, and strange shadow monsters.
This exciting book will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading paranormal fantasy romantic tales.
I need to read more of this series.

This is such an interesting and unique book. It is a mix of different stories combined together in a way that creates a new and refreshing book. I was pulled into this story right from the start and really enjoyed how the author weaved everything together.
The book had some fantastic characters. The way they all tied into the stories and the interactions between them were a joy to read. I thought they each added something to the book. I also enjoyed the fact that this book felt so different from other books that I have read by this author. This was a really great book and I would certainly recommend it.

I didn’t really have any expectations from this book when I started it and I was pleasantly surprised at the great word building and characters I discovered. This is an author who is still fairly new to me but if all of her books are like this then I can’t wait to read more. The characters were complex and had depth to them. They complemented the story line really well and I connected with them easily.
This story was engaging and developed well throughout the book. From the description I thought it might be a little confusing but it was easy to follow, even with a lot going on. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the next.

I enjoyed reading this steamy fantasy romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author and I look forward to seeing what is next in this series. This is a well written story that reminded me of a fairytale. The only difference is that the Lady is rescuing her prince. This is a story of love, survival and how far you go to rescue your love. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. They are strong, relatable characters that have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. They add spice and heat to a story that is full of dark magic. Don’t miss if this Lady is able to rescue the prince.

This is such a fun and interesting world. Arryn is a strong woman, stronger than she thinks, I love that she stands up to Rowan. But Rowan also treats her well and realizes he’s slowly falling for her. I felt so terrible for Rowan’s brother especially for the reason he ends up in his state. I like how Arryn’s eyes are opened being in the Lands Below. Although a different climate, look and feel, she feels freer than she does back at her home in the Worlds Above. The king of the Lands Below is a sneaky one, and I was very happy with how everything played out, especially with her mess of a prince.

The Secrets of Arkaim (The Reeds of West Hills) by B. E. Padgett. This is such a fun series for young kids 9-12 about magic and fantasy. It’s the continuing story of 11-year-old twins Jon and Frank Reed as they attend West Hills school for the perceptually gifted. This has a similar vibe to the Hunger Games as they participate in the Zodiac Games.

They both have issues with their gifts and are still learning how to control them when a lot of students start getting sick.

But his brother asks for a favor… so Rowan promises to look after the woman, at least until he can get her back to the Worlds Above. Rowan is certain hell be able to find a hole in the barrier between their worlds.

But will he be able to let her go?

Lady Arryn came to the land of monsters to rescue her prince.

Its what any lady would do for the man shed been raised to marry. Besides, rescuing the prince might finally be enough to force the king to agree to the marriage her parents have been trying to arrange for her entire life.

But the frozen Lands Below are nothing like Arryn expected. And Rowan, the brilliant and bitter sentry who is now her only hope of finding her prince or returning to the Worlds Above, possesses strange, horrific magic. Whats worse, he treats her far more like an equal than like a lady.

And the most terrifying part is, shes starting to like him.

Snarky and steamy, Hearts Rescue is an enemies-to-lovers adventure with dual point-of-view (his and hers). The first in a series of connected stand-alone novels, this sweeping tale of love, survival, and discovery ends with a hard-won Happily Ever After and is perfect for readers looking for a sprinkle of spice in their next swoon-worthy, passionate romantasy.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is the first book in the Revenant series by Brittany Tucker. This was a really fun, action-packed, YA adventure that had me hooked from the moment I saw the cover. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Tuckers books, but this is definitely my favourite (so far).
I love Ms. Tucker’s dynamic and immersive world-building skills, she easily transported me into the story as I followed along. I could see this making a great television series, too.
I definitely have a taste for her work now and I can’t wait to read more books set in the Revenant world… or anything else she produces.
If you love original YA adventures, then this is definitely the book for you.
Happy Reading…

Thank You, Brittany Tucker!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life. Death. Revenge. This is the first book I have read by Brittany Tucker and lord how mercy at the talent she has. I haven’t read many pirate books, but they have a lot to live up to when I come across one again. Told from the dual perspectives of Camden and Annie, this book takes you on a journey of rescuing, surviving, and thriving.
Camden was just nine years old when his mother was assassinated in front of him. When a random man saves Cam from the same fate his mother begs the man to take her son, raise him and keep him far from his father. Annie is from the North but after being sold by slavers to a Lord of the South she is raised as their daughter and “safe” if she doesn’t ask too many questions. Lockdown of a Port leaves Cam desperate to escape the “prison” he is trapped in leading to him making a risky move by accepting a red card job from a Stripe or Revenant. His reasoning is that he wants to buy his own ship, have Nathan, current ships navigator, as his quartermaster and allow Captain Resh to retire comfortably. Captain Resh was the man who saved him when he was younger. Annie isn’t like the others in New Havana, since the moment she arrived she has seen the ghosts of the island, they follow her and sometimes visit her in the night for help. Camden dies defending his job of transporting six barrels, only after he is spit back out and reborn as a Revenant himself does he learn the truth of the “job” he was on. It was a trap, a mission to prove the guilt of an once friend of the men who gave him the job. Now he has only one mission, to save his friends, and get revenge for his death on the man that caused it.
Will Camden succeed in his mission to save those he cares for? What does his newfound powers truly mean by living his true life? How will the truth of his identity affect himself and those around him? This world was beyond captivating. I often found myself lost in the visual and having to reread a sentence or two to remember what was happening. The characters are complex and never skin deep though they seem that way at times. Kept on the edge of my seat and sometimes holding my breath this was an amazing read to start the week kept me engaged and guessing what would happen next. I hope the author makes more books in the Revenant world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Much like the first book in this series, this book is engaging with well-written characters and a magical story that will keep you glued to the page. We revisit Jon and Frank Reed as they attend West Hills School for the Perceptually Gifted for their second year. These 11-year-old twin boys who have special gifted talents aka powers are eager to participate in the “Zodiac Games” in hopes of winning for their house, bringing prestige unto them all. This would be an easier feat if they both weren’t faced with mysterious challenges and fear. Will they overcome everything and find glory or will the shadows and other magical dilemmas overtake them?

This book with its Harry Potterish feel is aimed at middle-school aged children (9 – 12 years old)- but I enjoyed it and think both younger and older individuals could as well. If you want an entertaining read that is right up there with other great books like the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter series, then definitely give this series a read, as I’m sure you will enjoy this incredible big family and their ever-growing adventures.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is A Revenant Novel. The story focuses on 19-year-old Cam, a pirate. Cam has had a disastrous run of luck, with his crew killed and his captain missing. He has to figure out what his next steps will be in his life. Cam is a great character who has lived through a lot in his youth. The story has a lot of different layers with interesting characters. Cam develops a lot in the book and leaves me hoping for more books about everyone. The twists and turns kept me reading late into the night. I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to my niece for a new read. I think she will enjoy Cam and his adventures during this book. I look forward to reading more by this author.

I’ve read every book this author has put out so far and this by far is the best one. Although I’ve read enjoyed all of them, this one had an extra emotional element tied to it that drew me in. It does touch upon death and a few other sensitive topics. it has action, drama, romance, and sci-fi. The character development of Camden is superb. The plot twists are fantastic. To the author, I’m so glad you didn’t listen when they told you this book wasn’t good. It may be the best book I’ve read this year so far. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

I really enjoyed this story.i love fantasy adventures and I was gripped from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. The author does an amazing job with our main characters of Camden and Annie. Both of them have troubled pasts and things they are running from but both of them are survivors and they will stop at nothing to protect and save the people they care about.
Camden has had it tough after losing his mum and hiding from his father. When a captain takes him in he changes his name all in an attempt to hide from his father. Why is his father so dangerous that his mother died trying to get him away?
When Camden’s captain is kidnapped he knows he has to save him before its too late. What if the captian reveals Camdens true identity? Would his life be at risk?
How do you deal with things when the one person who should have protected and defended you is the person who betrays you?
This is an action packed story filled with drama, danger, secrets and lies, Suspense that keeps you turning the pages.
Camden is a strong character who fights against adversity despite the costs to himself.
Annie is the same, strong, independent and does stop asking questions but will she like the answers she finds?
This was a great read and I can’t wait till the author produces more work and more adventures for me to lose myself in. This is a story about being strong enough to face your past head on and work through the problems instead of continuing to hide and run away from them and also learning to fight for the people you care about no matter the cost to yourself

I enjoyed reading The Secrets of Arkaim, it is the second book in The Reeds of West Hills series. I didn’t read the first book in the series, but I feel like I still had the needed information to enjoy the story. Jon and Frank are twin boys from a large family that have discovered they are “gifted” (they have magical powers) and thus go to school to learn how to control them. This year school is extra exciting because of the Zodiac Games. Unfortunately, students are becoming sick, and they must figure out how to save them. The friendships and relationships in this book are fantastic. I highly recommend anyone looking for a good mystery story with a touch of magic. If you love books like Harry Potter and/or the Percey Jackson series, you’ll love this book. I look forward to reading the first book and next book in the series.

A hard to put down story that is fast paced and easy to read. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. An entertaining story where the main character has a secret that he doesn’t need to come out but what will happen if it does? This is a story that also has some suspense to it as well. There is great growth of the plot and characters throughout the story. I enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.
