A Mountain In the Air: A Trilogy by Lauran Koerber- Review By Cynthia Tuck

A Mountain in the Air: A TrilogyA Mountain in the Air: A Trilogy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This trilogy combines Coyote’s Road Trip, Raven Woman’s Tavern and A Mountain In the Air. I had previously read Coyote’s Road Trip and have been thoroughly impressed. At first I wasn’t as excited to read Raven Woman’s Tavern, but just like the first book in the trilogy I was quickly sucked in. A Mountain In The Air beautifully ties all the stories together and gives the series a sense of completion, with no questions being left in answered. Laura Koerber is an amazing writing, her ability to create a realistic magic and make this dystopian story feel like a premonition is unreal. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and can not wait to see what else she comes up with.

Jester by Brielle D. Porter – Review By Shavon Brown

JesterJester by Brielle D. Porter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book will have you hooked from the very beginning.

In Oasis it is all about being Jester. A great honor to work for the queen herself. But everyone has a different motive for wanting the position. Let’s meet our main cast shall we…

Lisette/Mirage – daughter of the late Judge who was executed for murdering the King. She wants this position to get away from the stigma and make a path for herself.

Luc- the competition. A great street performer who takes every opportunity to be a thorn in Lisettes side. Though later in the book we find out that he is in fact the bastard child of the late King and wants the Jester position to prove the Queen killed his father.

Yasmin- A really good friend. A pet trainer and magician herself. She helps Lisette get close to the Queen and they become friends. Though we see in the book Lisette does not know how to handle that.

Cillian – Lisette’s trainer and friend. Owner of a cat and a bookshop (Both things I love that made him my favorite character hands down). Blackmailed by Lisette to give her his magic they quickly become friends with great back and fourth banter.

The Queen – Though she comes off as the grieving widower. We see that she is very smart and highly underestimated. And just like everyone else she has a plan of her own.

In the book the Queen and her seekers have come to Oasis to find a new Jester and nothing goes according to plan. There is betrayal, magic, and lies in the air as everyone is looking out for themselves or so it seems.

Things I loved about this book. Strong Female Lead. Quick paced read. Great Friendships. Happy Ending.

I’m just going to say this because I believe it needs to be said. This book did not need a romance angle. and it is the one thing I truly did not like about this book. That and the fact that I wanted Lisette to continue to have her Father’s magic so she could have a relationship with her brother and maybe even father as they are take away from her unjustly. Also the ending did seem a bit anti-climatic.

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie – Review by Emily Walsh

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil SeriesSaint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series
By: Megan Mackie
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost (The Lucky Devil 4) by Megan Mackie was fast pace, thrilling and just, wow.

This wonder was another perfect addition to this ever growing multi level, story/magical world. Though it says book 4, it’s more like a prequel, as it does take place before the start of the main series. So in saying that, if you haven’t read the first two books with the main plot, and characters, then you will have no worries about spoilers from this one.

So, where do I start, this little wonder sure was a kicker, coming in at a short 140 pages, this fast read packs a powerful punch. The detail was on point, the tone and flow was smooths and gets this wonder moving, and our MC, St. Augustina was a joy to read about and get to know. I may have a girl crush on her. She’s powerful, takes no BS and just, an outstandingly well written character, you can’t go wrong with an MC like that. And if the MC didn’t keep you reading, then the compelling plot, drama and action will.

Overall this book is a spoil 5 star read, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading
