HOLY COW THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! I want to be a character in this book! I loved everything about it! Fantasy mixed with paranormal and suspense! The best part for me is that the group of amazing women in this are over 40!!! It’s so refreshing to read a book with women I can truly identify with, minus the magic! If you’re looking for a read that will keep you turning the page because you have to know what happens then this is it!!! I look forward to the next one in the series and following this group of friends as they navigate the darkness we can’t see and the darkness we can!
Finding Cheer: Paranormal Women’s Fiction Cozy Fantasy Novel (Magical Emerald Hollow Book 2) was a really cute book! I didnt’ realize when I started it that it’s a part 2, and I do wish I would have read them in order. Even though the author does a great job of explaining without bogging down the storyline, I do feel there were a few instances when the current story would have made more sense. Not enough to make the read less enjoyable though.
Almost love at first sight with a person who has a completely unheard (outside of the movies) type of full on amnesia and then finding out who both are individually and together. After coming together with the help of some Christmas magic (in the spring) true love is found and happy ever after achieved. Heavy on the romance, light on the steaminess. Would definitely recommend 🙂

My 4-year-old grandson was absolutely enamored with this tale, Things Are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom! In this escapade, Caspian’s cousin Belinda also longs for a magic wand. However, how can they come to the rescue when everything starts to tremble? Will they be able to rely on their magic wands? This narrative is delightful and stimulating. The illustrations are vibrant, bringing the narrative to life and keeping little readers hooked. We will certainly be enjoying other Caspian stories, as well as this one!

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.

This was such an adorable children’s read. I love finding these types of stories, they are so wholesome and magical. It was another Unbirthday for Caspian filled with magical gifts and adventure. The stories are amazing, and the illustrations are as well! I think this series is so original and heartwarming. Will definitely highly recommend.

This picture book was great! It has amazing illustrations. It is perfect if you know/have young kids or nieces/nephews. I loved how it was magical and had elements of learning as well. Who wouldn’t love a story about a magical pencil? It is perfect for a bedtime story!
This story surrounds several generations of the same family with magical abilities. Wise women, witch or Strega? Doesn’t matter what you call them they have mystical abilities that make this story so much more interesting as you are guessing your way through all these abilities. A turn of events in Diana’s life means her and her sisters must flee the town their family has lived in all their lives. Was it right to do as she did or did she go against the basic principle that her abilities should harm none? What will her actions translate into in Annie’s life? I love the historical influences that are given throughout this novel. This tale is both story and character driven and has so many of those details that make a story a great one. I loved the back story that was given and found myself unable to put this story down until I read every last word. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and hope the author finds a way to make this a series!! I would love to read more.

Enchanting! Stunning! Breath-taking! So many descriptive words to choose from, but these three stuck out the most. Author Tricia Copeland is very gifted and brings her stories to life, making you the reader feel like you are immersed in the story. Her characters are well thought out, fully developed and polished giving us an incredible understanding of each and every one.
In To Be A Fae Queen we are surrounded by mystery from almost the instant the story begins. Mystery surrounding the Fae King Oberon of Aubren, the queen herself and the crystals leave you wanting more. Titania although young in age (only 15) seems on the precipice of life. She wants to be taken seriously, but seems as if she is not really sure how she should go about it. All her attempts are thwarted by her father the King as he wants nothing more than to keep her safe. Titania fights for her right to the throne and takes us on an epic journey as she attempts to solve the magical mystical mysteries that are plaguing her kingdom.
I love the details Ms. Copeland added to this book. The simplest being the map, however while simple, the map really aides in your expedition throughout the tale! I love the unmitigated brilliance of Ms. Copeland’s artisanship.

Kristin Gleeson is a talented author. She slowly weaves a magical tale that leaves you wanting more. The story of Saoirse, Anu and Smithy brings you so close to the magic awakening you can almost touch it. Kristin describes things in such amazing detail and really gives the reader a very clear picture of the setting. When it ended I wanted more story and had one of those moments readers know well… asking when is the next one going to be available. If you are looking for a book to take you on a magical journey then this book is for you!!!

The Halfling’s Court had such an intriguing synopsis that I just had to pick it up. Danielle Ackley-McPhail is definitely going to be an author I follow in the future and go back and read previous work. The way she blended faerie and MC worlds was well done and had me captured from the beginning. I love stories with fairies and enjoy the MC novels I have read and so to put them together was generous of Danielle. So, if you enjoy either of these themes definitely try this one out!! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a mystical, fast paced read.
