With each new review I write for this author I feel like I am writing the same thing because all her books are so good and are such hits in our house. This book was another one to add to the list and we have already read it multiple times. Both my kids really enjoyed this book which made my enjoy it just as much. The story was interactive and perfect for young kids. Combined with the pictures, it made the book really fun to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a surprisingly emotional book and not quite what I expected it was going to be when I started reading. I loved the connection between the two main characters. They both had such traumatic stories and yet you could feel their chemistry.
This author really knows how to write an amazing story and this is definitely one of her best. I always enjoy her work. This book, although short, is well written. I engaged with the story and I really wanted things to work out between Lyle and Kyle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

This is a great addition to the series and it just as exciting to read as the other books. I found myself becoming invested in this book with ease, wanting to find out what would happen. I enjoyed learning about the main character. You could really see her development throughout the story. This is a fast paced story and the author throws in a lot of twists and turns. It is enough to keep you interested throughout the whole book. I think this book really complements the others and I am looking forward to whatever is next.

A Curse of Ash and IronA Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an historical retelling of Cinderella. It is well written and a pretty interesting story. I enjoyed it more than I expected I would – Cinderella adaptions are, in my opinion, starting to feel overdone. However, the author managed to put enough of her own spin on the story that I found it enjoyable. I would have liked there to be a bigger emphasis on the steampunk element as the look and feel of the book suggested that is what we would get.
The characters were good and I liked their instant connection. It stayed true too the original story while also giving its own feel. I think this book was worth reading and I will be exploring more from the author in the future.

This is a brilliant series and this book is a great addition to it. I really enjoy reading about these characters and the fantastic journey they have been on.

This story was so immensely easy to connect with and I loved reading every second of it. The author really managed to capture what mothers go through, the feelings and emotions that that overwhelm them on a daily basis. I engaged with the story and the main character and found the whole book to be fantastic.
This is a completely new author to me and I went into this blind. I didn’t know what to expect going in and I loved what I got. I am already looking forward to seeing what else this author has to offer.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first story I have read where the character is referred to as “they” and it made for a unique reading experience. I like that this is a topic the author has chosen to tackle, although a times it did feel a little clumsy. The overall story was well written though and easy to get into. I enjoyed reading about the characters too. They all seemed to add so much to the story and fitted well with each other.
This is a pretty new author to me and I think her work shows promise. I think the more of her work that I read the more I will enjoy. I am looking forward to discovering more from her.

Whenever I write a review for this author I feel like I am becoming a broken record because they are always so good. We always sit down to read these books as a family and each and everyone of us enjoys them. The stories are always so well thought out and engaging. They appeal to all ages and help children to think about topics they might usually. But the author makes sure they are fun and light-hearted, the perfect story for young children. This book was just as good as all the others and we have read it multiple times. I am sure we will read it many more before the next one as well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third and final book in this trilogy and it is just as good as the previous books. The journey these characters go on is such a moving one. I liked the fact that we got to see the struggles there were going through after their marriage. You don’t always get the “behind the curtain” look into characters I think it added to this story.
I think this whole trilogy has been really well written. They have been captivating books, emotional and have some amazing characters in them. I have fully enjoyed each and every book and I am looking forward to reading more of this authors work. I would definitely recommend this trilogy as well.

This series is fantastic and this is another great book to add to the collection. I always find it so easy to reconnect with these characters and pick back up with their story. I like that they are keeping my interest even though we are eight books into the series.
This particular story is fast paced with a lot going on. Juggling three cases at once would be challenging for most and yet the story, characters and author handled it with ease. I didn’t get confused by any of them and could follow along which each case. I looked forward to the resolution of them all. I have enjoyed this latest addition and will be looking forward to more.

This is a highly entertaining story with one of my favourite main characters of all time. She is an absolute breath of fresh air because she is so real and relatable. I loved that she isn’t the typical heroine you get in a book but I think that just made the story so much better. The storyline of the book was great. It was perfectly written and really fit with Gwen’s character.
This is still a pretty new author to me but this book is definitely one to make sure they are added to my one click list. I cannot wait to read more of this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great story about a 12-year old boy and a world with people who have superpowers. Although this book is clearly aimed at the pre-teens it is the kind of book that really appeals to all ages. Even as an adult, I had no issues connecting with the story and the characters. I thought the book had been well written and was designed to grab your attention immediately.
I think Noah is the sort of character that touches on feelings most people have had at some point. He is relatable and endearing. He is what drew me into the story the most and is the reason I wanted to keep reading. This was a brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed and I would definitely recommend it.

This book is another fantastic addition to this series, full of plot twists at every turn. I always find it so easy to get back into one of these books, connecting with the characters again straight away. I always enjoy how interesting these stories are. Usually this far into a series it starts to lose steam but the author has done a great job of keeping up the momentum.
This book is exciting to read. I found myself trying to put the pieces together and yet the author does so well to keep you guessing. I am still really enjoying this series and I cannot wait for whatever the author produces next.
