I really enjoy this author’s books so much and I was already captivated by the cover and decided to dive right in. This paranormal fantasy story had betrayal, choices, creatures, magic, drama and a little bit of romance.
Zoe wants to be a heroine, born to be a fighter, along with her brother with high expectations from her family. When this mysterious black mist is upon, being aware of the creatures it may stir at night, Zoe wants to be ready to fight. Nothing is what it seems when Zoe is learning hard truths as she fights for her life. When Zoe falls for one of the notorious creatures, will things change or will the world turn their backs like that have been for so long leaving Zoe to fend for herself?
I would love to see more come from this story, from Zoe and Simone to possibly other creatures.. this story is engaging and intriguing.

Spirit Guide is the third book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series. Let’s start by saying to read the first two books before grabbing this book. Madame Elinor Chalamet and the Duke of de Archambeau are trying to find a missing woman. Little do they know there is more involved than they realize. Chalamet has to go against an old nemesis, and Archambeau is right by her side. I really enjoy this series and the characters. Also, the slow-burn relationship brewing between Archambeau and Chalamet is growing. If you like historical fiction with a bit of supernatural, a spunky female lead, and a challenging male lead, this series is for you. I anxiously await the next book, but I will be thinking about what adventures Chalamet and Archambeau will be involved in next.
This is not the typical book that I read. I do not generally read books about witches and wizards. That being said, I stepped outside of my comfort zone to give this book a try due to the fact that it is YA and I am a teacher who interacts with middle school students. I like reading books that my students might like so that I can recommend good reads to them. This book is one that I will definitely be recommending to my students. This story is very unique and I will say that the storyline kept me reading, because i wanted to know what happened next. I truly enjoyed the characters in the story and really felt invested in the conflict between the witches and wizards. I also liked the twist that the help that Wilf seems to be causing some of the chaos. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes fantasies.

Lyall Review by Christine Baranek
The is the second book in the series and is a brilliant follow up to book one. I would recommend reading these in order as this story follows on from the first. It was so easy to get back straight back into this story and the characters from the moment I started reading. This book has the same unique feel as the first and develops the story so well. I wanted to see what was going to happen and where the story would take us. I think this author has created a great and interesting YA story. It is appealing to all ages really hits all the right marks. This is only the second book that I have read by this author and yet I think I am already on my way to becoming a firm fan.

Continuing on from the Virus of Beauty, after Wilf ends up helping the witches from a virus, his troubles still go on. During his help, the veil between the witches and wizards become corrupted. The wizards demand he fix it. During this, more relationships become to blossom, and more drama pursues. It’s once again another great read with more to come!

This YA fantasy novel is very intriguing to read. You’ve got Wilf, a high school teenage soccer player who wants to deny he’s a wizard, and live his days peacefully in the human world. During his denial, his father passes away, and people start to appear for his help. The info Wilf needs to help with this virus is within the inheritance he received from his father. Before he can do anything, he must accept who he is, and love among them as well in their world. So much other stories are happening as well, and you keep wanting more!

Lyall – Review by Ashley Hasting
This is the second book in this magical young wizard sequel, and I loved this book as much as the first one. I love how the author makes these stories her own and they are so different than other YA wizard book series. The world building in this series is fantastic and makes me feel as though I am part of it. I love that. The characters are so captivating and as enchanting as the story itself. I could not put this book down. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next books. I highly recommend you share this story with young adult readers that are into the Harry Potter and Shadowspell Academy series. Very enjoyable book and highly recommended that you read.

Lyall Review by Karen Pearman
First of all, if you haven’t read the first book in this series, “The Virus of Beauty”, you will definitely want to pick it up!!! C. B. Lyall is such a unique author that tells stories in a way that just sits you right down in the plot and takes you along for the journey. You really feel like you’re in the adventure right along with Wilf, and finding things out as he does. This is the perfect YA for anyone who enjoys Magic, coming of age stories, family drama, or finding identity overtures.
Wilf continues in his quest for the righting the Magical Realm. Unfortunately he will not be able to return to his “Normal” life as he would wish it. As fate would have it, he is pretty important to righting the wrongs and correcting Beauty as the magical world knows it back to their normal state. He is sort of a catalyst if you will for correcting the undoings that are happening in their world. So whether he likes it or not, he has skin in the game. I absolutely love watching Katryna’s story meshing in with Wilf’s, they are absolutely adorable together, and watching her family try to come to understand their dynamic is interesting as well.
The take on the “Virus” gets explored further in the second book, and how that impacts entities (mainly witches) and their magic use. I haven’t ever read something quite like this before, so trying to understand the author’s message to the reader, and how she gets it there through Wilf and other main characters is very gripping. It makes you think in other words. By the end I just can’t quite accept what has happened to Wilf, and I need to keep reading…thankfully the third book is out, which I just can’t wait to read!!!
Thank you to the author for this incredibly fun series, and sharing it with the world. Lovely characters, fully dynamic quests in a very streamlined easy to understand world, and just wonderfully exciting.

This isn’t my typical type of genre to read but I wanted to change things up. I am so glad I did. Everything in this book was amazing. The world building, characters, and plot was on point. The language in the first few chapters was hard to understand but after you get past that, it was easier to understand. It was a fast paced and page turner book.

Spirit Guide is the third book in the Gaslamp fantasy historical series Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries. I have enjoyed everything I have read by this talented author and the stories keep on getting better. I think this is my favourite to date. Elinor our ghost-talking super sleuth and Tristan are at it again but when an old rival is involved things get tricky and possibly deadly when Elinor disappears. Where are the missing girls? Is the Society up to something are they hiding something? To find out you will have to read for yourself. This tale has a little of everything to indulge the reader. It is mysterious and intriguing, with a slow burn romance, ghosts, history, séances, kidnappings and so much more. Who doesn’t love ghostly whodunit’s? I can’t wait for the next instalment.
Spirit Guide is the third book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series by Byrd Nash. This brings us another intriguing instalment in this captivating Gaslamp fantasy series. It is a paranormal cozy mystery with crime & investigation, sleuthing, ghosts, history, a moody atmosphere, intrigue, adventure, some humour, witty dialogue, slow-burn romance, dramatic developments, and interesting characters. I have loved this series from the beginning, so there was never any doubt that I would be reading this new instalment as soon as it released. Elinor Chalamet uses her mediumship skills to help solve puzzling mysteries. This instalment builds on the previous two books, providing a bigger picture as the mystery unfolds- also learning a lot more about Elinore along the way. Our female ‘Sherlock Holmes’ is on the case tackling a mystery with: Missing girls. A mysterious séance. Ghosts that become ‘real’. A bumbling apprentice. Secrets. And a connection to her past. It all leads to an intriguing, cleverly woven, fun little historical whodunnit mystery. As with the other two books, it is fresh, and fun- with a period setting, wonderful characters, and a moody feel- which gives the whole story added intrigue. This is a six-part novella series (with 3 more book yet to come): The series consists of: -Ghost Talker (Book #1) -Delicious Death (Book #2) -Spirit Guide (Book #3) -Gray Lady (Book #4) – still to be released -Underground Haunt (Book #5) – still to be released -Ghastly Mistake (Book #6) – still to be released I am looking forward to seeing what Elinor gets up to in the next book/s. Bring on Book #4! Happy Reading…

Lady Aubrianne will do anything and everything to protect the people whom she loves and cherishes. Larkin, a man tired of his life as a Royal Guard of Aurelia, jumps at the chance for the adventurous life he has dreamed of. Lady Aubrianne does not trust her husband, and his increasingly frequent absences seem to be proving true with the investigative help of Larkin. This is a wonderful whirlwind fantasy romance, with lots of twists and turns, and some awesome spicy scenes, too! I highly suggest taking some time and reading this through. I know I am looking forward to the next book in the series!!

Kelleher – Review by Michaela Massie
This is the second book in The Virus Of Beauty series. I would highly recommend reading the first book as this book follows on from it and you will get a better enjoyment of the story. This is an action packed YA fantasy adventure. It is very fast paced and is full of magic and danger. The war between witches and wizards is worse than ever and Wilf is being blamed for something he didn’t do. I felt sorry for Wilf. He doesn’t want to be a wizard. He wants to be a normal kid with normal kid problems. That all changes however when Katryn is kidnapped he now has to embrace his wizard powers if he hopes to get her back.
It is a good fantasy read which is captivating from start to end.

Elinor is back and this time brings with her, Tristan and Twyla. I found the mystery in this book to be both exciting and quite suspenseful. Elinor had her handfuls with the mystery and Twyla, who still has a lot to learn. I love how we get to learn a little more about Elinor and the Morpheus Society with each book. The story had a nice flow. This was a wonderful adventure to the series. I can’t wait for the next one.
Ahhhhhh! Has anyone read Evil Sushi? That was my favorite read of 2022. It was just so weird and wonderful- I read it in 1 night. This book is absolutely nothing like it (plot and story wise) but it gave me that same feeling that Evil Sushi did! I just could NOT put it down. I loved all the main characters- and it was a joy to tag along on their magical adventures. The central plot with the virus and what not was extremely relatable. This is my first work by the author (how did I skip book 1??) so I’m legitimately about to dash my way to the first book in the series and then sit and pout waiting for more!!

Lyall Review by Melissa Fink
This novel was well written. It was fast paced, complex, and inclusive. Although, I would have liked to see more inclusivity in this book. For a YA book, an author can really dive into the hardships, trials, and tribulations that nonbinary individuals face in today’s society. It has potential to be a great book for youth that are struggling to find themselves, but I would have liked to see more of it than the author intertwined in this story. Regardless, the author does a great job with the characters and the plot of this novel.
From the beginning, you are sucked into this story of Ruarnon and Linh. The amount of detail that the author puts into this novel is outstanding. I just wish the author would have focused more on the character building. That is my only complaint about this book. If you enjoy stories with monsters, war, and tough decision making then this book is for you. You will not want to put it down until you finish it.

Kelleher and I had no idea that I would be so impressed! Nicole truly blew me away with this book! Wild Lavender is a wonderful first book in the Heart & Hand Series and I am really anticipating the next book! Nicole has such an amazing way of creating such a beautiful world! It is a fast-paced read, that has mysteries, romance, danger, and tons of chemistry. I recommend giving Wild Lavender, a chance and you’re going to fall in love with the world that was beautifully created and interesting characters. Happy Reading!

I was so excited to be able to read book two in this exciting and riveting series about witches and wizards and magic going hay wired. The author has done an amazing job of bring magic into the real world while still keeping their worlds separate. I thought the author did a great job of continuing the growth and development of the characters, especially Wilf, Katryna, and Myra. The story absolutely took multiple twists and turns as the characters are in a race to save their worlds and each other. I couldn’t put the story down until the final page. I can’t wait to see how the story finally ends in the third trilogy.

Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher is the first installment to the Aurelian Guard fantasy romance series. Lady Aubrianne (Anna) is arranged to marry Lord Roger not long after meeting and while she tries to fulfill the role, it’s apparent she’d rather be left to her own thoughts with her horses that she raises than be in his company. His cruel nature eventually surfaces, and Anna realizes that he is not the man she’d hoped he would be. But Anna is a strong woman and is not going to let his treatment of her and Lord Roger’s people break her. But then Larkin, a man she had met during an interesting encounter only a couple of years prior and not seen again, is hired to do detective work on Roger. He has had Anna in the back of his mind ever since, but will she be found to be tied to the evilness of her husband?
This story was immaculately written, whirling with secrets and romance in a medieval setting. The author paints such a vivid picture for the readers without becoming monotonous and the plot builds at what I thought to be a perfect pace. It was very easy to get lost in the pages and difficult to put down. I am very intrigued to read the next installment and see what comes next.

The story keeps you engaged from start to finish with the great plot and character development. Aubrianne is determined to find out what her husband does when he leaves for days at a time. She was tough when it was needed especially when it came to her loved ones. Her husband, Larkin, is seeking adventure and jumps head first into investigating Lord Roger who deals with a rival realm. Will he be implicated as one of those that has committed treason? I’ve only started getting in historical romance books and read very few fantasy. These two genres mixed together was not what I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised. If you’re looking to mix up your book shelf a bit this would be a good book to add. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

An enjoyable and engaging fantasy romance with an epic storyline spanning realms, mystical prophecy’s and royal intrigue. Healer and warrior Lady Aubrianne protects those she loves, so when she discovers that her frequently absent husband Lord Roger, maybe caught up in treason she must avoid them all being implicated. Meanwhile, Royal Guard of Aurelia and known rake, Larkin is investigating the increasingly wealthy Lord Roger, and what his dealings are with a rival realm. Craving adventure Larkin sets off, but is shocked to find the women who’s haunted his dreams ever since they met years before, Anna (Lady Aubrianne). Unfortunately the punishment for treason is death to all those involved, meaning that if Lord Roger is found guilty, so will his wife, unless Anna can prove her innocence. This is an exciting fantasy epic with a story full of ambition, drama, murder and sizzling romance, which had me hooked throughout. The characters and settings were brought vividly to life through the wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to the next book in this series.

A wonderful read with steamy love scenes and a grasp on the historical fantasy genre. For me it is in the details and this book has them in spades! I loved them all, down to the map in the first pages of the book. I cannot wait to read more from this author. You definitely won’t regret this read!

This was my first time reading a book by this author. She did not disappoint 1 bit. After reading the first book, I can’t wait to read the others. There was so much suspense & action in the book. She had my attention the whole time! Great storyline, characters, and world building!

Kelleher – Review by Melissa Fink
When a young woman tries to sneak back into her family’s quarters undetected, she’s caught by a man in the shadows. Alone in the darkness, they lips are about to touch, but he is not a “ravager of maidens.” He asks for her name, before fleeing; leaving her. She also flees as to not be reported to her mother. Wild Lavender is an engaging novel full of suspense, romance, heart break and love. The characters are wonderfully written, especially our strong heroine, Lady Aubrianne. This book was a page-turner from beginning to end; I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
