A Song of Salt and Secrets (Mythic Academy Collection)A Song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin is the second novella in the Mythic Academy Collection. This story is about a Siren, Corisande, who accidentally hurts a sailor and a series of events that unfold. In this re-imagined telling, Sirens are sent to a special school in order to learn to conceal their powers and keep the knowledge of their existence a secret. On an outing with her best friend Sera, Bianca accidentally cause Noah to crash his boat. Feeling terrible the two Sirens save him. This action would be the start of turning the world they know upside down. Secrets will be revealed, bonds will be formed and something so powerful and simple may just be what they need to fix everything.

The characters are very sweet. Corisande and Noah are bonded by her curse but the feelings may be real. They both protect each other in their own ways. Sera is actually my fave character. The way she is there for Corisande is beautiful. She’s a shoulder to cry on, a voice of reason, and a defender. Again, like the first story, the ending is complete. I don’t have numerous questions. I love the tie in to mythology.

This story is marketed towards young adults but I enjoyed it a lot. It’s nice to read feel good wholesome books that don’t have a lot of adult content in them every now and then. You get romance, fantasy/paranormal, and a bit of mystery in this one. 4.5 ⭐️

The School of Nine (Mythic Academy Collection) by Amanda Marin – Review by Amber Howard

The School of Nine (The Mythic Academy Collection, #1)The School of Nine by Amanda Marin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The School of Nine by Amanda Marin is a part of the Mythic Academy collection but can be read as a stand alone novella. This story follows Bianca as she embarks on a journey of self discovery, acceptance, and sacrifice. As graduation nears she is tasked with showing the new kid ( Sebastian) the ropes. She soon finds out that every one has secrets and that her gift may be just what’s needed to save them all. With the help of The nine she just might.

I really enjoyed this one. The characters are well developed, the plot is super engaging and there isn’t a lull. Right from the start you can tell there’s something about Bianca that is powerful and I don’t mean her actual powers. Although she doubts herself she has a strength that many wouldn’t have in her situation.

This is a story for young adults but can be enjoyable by anyone who likes fantasy stories. Its wholesome. Doesn’t take long to read. The story feels complete and I am not left with a million questions which is quite refreshing. I also noticed that both stories in this series have mythical references. I love mythology and am always intrigued by the way they are incorporated. 5 ⭐️ from me.

A Song of Salt and Secrets (Mythic Academy Collection)A Song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is a take on the Gods and Goddesses. Corisande is the main character and her best friend Sera. Both are sirens. The explanation for sirens in the story is interesting but I don’t want to give too much away since this is set up like a standalone novella. It takes place at Magwitch Academy, a school for sirens to teach them how to control their powers.

However, they still have accidents which brings in Noah Fisk. Noah is a senior at a school near Magwitch. When Coriande sees Noah for the first time she feels a pull towards him but he doesn’t even know she is there.

I really liked this novella. I haven’t read a whole lot of standalone novellas but I am interested in checking them out now. This book has under 200 pages and is a short read but it is worth the time to check it out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sure As Hell is Book 4 in the Life is Hell Series…and I was so excited to read Jaru and Lark’s story. I highly recommend reading this series in order as the characters intertwine through out each book. The storytelling, unique story and characters….I love this series so much. The feels of paranormal romance with a mix of magic, secrets, revenge, mystery, danger, friends to lovers MM Romance… I loved it all!!

Jaru and Lark have a strong friendship of being best friends…unfolding to the possibility of something more. Jaru is wanting to be more “adult like” and responsible opening a business of his own. Lark wants to spend all their time being with Jaru without “adulting”….but this could cause issue between them when Jaru is trying to be serious. When evil lurks around the corners and secrets are discovered…will Jaru and Lark’s budding relationship be tested or should they remain friends….

I love the characters in this book. Jaru really melted my heart and it broke me with his low self esteem at times…and I love how the characters in the book really support each other, especially when times get a bit tough. I really enjoyed this story so much. Highly recommended!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate Book 10) by Sylvia Black. This is the 10th installment in the Masters of the Consulate series and while they don’t have to be read in order, I highly recommend it. In this book its the story of Oradea & Natalia and the story is told from both their perspectives.

Lucas’s mate is even being treated as a enemy even though she has always fought for the vampires. Oradea is on the hunt for the rogue because he can’t afford for their secrets to be found out.

When Natalia uses her magic it puts a light on things that should have been left in the dark and exposes them all to danger.

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve found to read in this series, but it won’t be the last. From the world-building that is done and shared here in book 10, I look forward to starting at the beginning and watching all of the characters and scenarios build.

Master Oradea seeks out rogue vampires and shifters in this vampire mafia dark romance. He is currently trying to figure out how to handle the traitorous actions of Lucas, Master Descallia’s right hand man. Everyone is on edge and unsure of who is trustworthy. When Lucas requests safety within the borders of Oradea’s territory, he refuses. When Master Oradea decides to seek out the help from the new family of the Syndicate brothers to catch the rogues and avoid the war amongst the supernatural, they are leery of getting involved until their younger sister is threatened and offer their help if Master Oradea takes Natalia and protects her.

Natalia and Master Oradea immediately spark off of one another when he just wants her to listen, and she wants to do anything BUT listen to him. While we are led to believe that Natalia is only human, she proves to have powers of her own for Oradea to contend with on top of her defiance of him and secrets she keeps. The included tropes are vampires/shifters/witches/fated mates/paranormal worlds, enemies to lovers, suspense, tension, magic, chemistry, rogue attacks, betrayal, passion, and so much more. It’s unfair to place this beautiful world down into a series of tropes when it is so much more. Really looking forward to jumping in at book 1!

Sure As Hell (Life is Hell #4)Sure As Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sure as Hell is part of the Life is Hell series. This one follows the story of Larkspur and Jaru. The characters from the previous books are part of the story as well but this one is about their love story. Jaru is an imp and Larkspur is a pixie. They have a strong friendship that has turned into something more but will they make it through when someone from Jaru’s past shows up and tries to steal Larkspur so he can sell him?

Ive read all the previous books before this one. Naomi has a unique style of writing that I really enjoy. Her stories have a lot of detail but are also short reads. I like how even though each book is about a different set of characters and she is always introducing new ones, she still adds more about previous characters and keeps them in the story even as supporting characters. If you want a short read (I can read the Life is Hell books in an hour or 2) I recommend checking these out. It’s a great new take of fantasy.

A song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin – Review by Stephanie Tellas

/0 Comments/in /by

“There’s one thing more powerful than true love’s kiss. For Corisande Phillips, being a siren has meant living a cursed life, a lonely life—a life plagued by the fear of hurting someone with her deadly song. At Magwitch Academy, she has learned to control her urge to sing … for the most part, anyway. But when a moment of weakness gets the best of her, Corisande accidentally causes Noah, a student at a nearby prep school, to crash his sailboat, unleashing the fury of the sea—and an ancient goddess who will not be robbed of her revenge. Only Noah’s love has the power to save Corisande, but how can he ever learn to care for a monster like her?”
Does he learn to love her or will love conquer all , or not at all , will have to read the story to find out. This is the second book in the series, can be read as a stand alone, loved the characters, and the storyline. looking forward to read more from this author. I give this book 4 stars.

The school of 9 by Amanda Marin – Review by Stephanie Tellas

/0 Comments/in /by

“Nine muses. Nine signs. Nine chances to stop the darkness. Flunking out of Brightling Academy—a prestigious finishing school for Muses-in-training—isn’t an option for Bianca Harper. But if she doesn’t master Poise and Charm or stop tripping over her ballgown, failure is inevitable. Then he shows up: Sebastian Greenbriar, the first male student to walk through Brightling’s halls in decades. For extra credit, Bianca agrees to help him settle in—even though putting up with his self-absorbed attitude feels more like a punishment than a chance at redemption. But just as Bianca begins to make good, she discovers an even bigger problem lurking in the shadows. As foretold by ancients, the Well of Imagination—the force from which Muses draw their powers to inspire—is running dry, threatening the future of Muse-kind and the beauty they bring into the world. Sebastian’s connection to this danger is impossible to miss, but when he isn’t who or what he claims, can Bianca rely on him to help her stop the impending darkness?”
This is the first book in a 2 part series, really liked characters, the storyline flowed really well, kept my attention through the whole book. This book can be read as a stand alone. I give this book 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Interesting and wonderful, short, young adult book. I really felt for both Corisande and Noah. Both had rich lives with friends, and families that cared for them, but they were both lonely. Lonely until they found each other. Corisande is a special type of siren, although her siren song is supposed to lure sailors to their death, she doesn’t want anyone to die, so when Noah gets hurt, she is devastated. I appreciate her wanting to confess everything to Noah, but I can tell she is falling for him and doesn’t want to lose what she is building with him. Noah’s mom is a hinderance but I understand her need to keep her son safe after what happened to her husband. The story is short and sweet, Noah and Corisande are super cute together and I was nervous about their fight Aphrodite, but excited to see how everything turned out in the end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I will start off by saying this is the second in the series. If you haven’t read the first, I recommend it. When I saw this book was out, I was not hesitant for even a moment before grabbing it. To me, this is the perfect Lifetime/Hallmark type of romance story, albeit much better. Sofia gets her turn and her story brought more to life. She meets Isaiah, who seems to be mysterious. Their conversations at first are fun and witty. They aren’t immediate friends. It’s more of an enemy to lovers story. This is a magical, holiday story. A perfect read for a cozy night.

I have read a few books on this author and she always surprises us with her writing. I love a good cozy fantasy but this book exceeded my expectations. This is the second book in the amazing emerald hollow series. This can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story. I can’t wait to see what she will write about next.

Sofia Reyes is a resident of the very magical Emerald Hollow. She loves her hometown and her job. Sofia is very intrigued by the very handsome mystery man that comes into town. He has no memory of who he is or where he is. She wants to help him but she starts to feel a connection like no other to him. Sofia wants to know Isaiah’s story but is it too dangerous?

Master Oradea (Masters of the Consulate #10)Master Oradea by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The rogues are still on the run and this time they have entered Master Oradea’s territory. The masters are getting restless. Everytime they think they have the rogues cornered, they always get away. It seems they are always one step ahead of the Masters and their team.

The vampires decide to try to align themselves with the local human mafia but all that does is put a target on their backs, especially the little sister of the group named Natalia. Oradea does not want this beautiful innocent girl in the crossfire so he takes her under his protection. Instantly there is some tension between the two but Oradea is trying not to let it affect the job he has to do or the promise he made to Natalia’s brothers. She is off limits. Too bad she doesn’t care what her brothers say. Natalia just wants to be able to look after herself for once. That includes who she can and cannot have relations with.

They seem to be closing in on the rogues and their leader but once again, they evade the vampires and go into the next masters territory, setting things up for the next book of the series.

After 10 books, you think the author would be running out of storyline and personalities to write about but Sylvia Black still has lots to say. The author hasn’t lulled at all even this far into the series. The love stories are romantic and steamy and the sub plot keeps you hooked to see what happens next! I can’t wait until the next book!

Sure As Hell is the 4th book in the Life Is Hell Series by Naomi Valkyrie. This book continues the character development with Jaru, a imp demon, and Lark a pixie. This is an M/M book that continues off the other 3 books in the series.
These books have such great fusion from one to the other that they are seamless. I love that we get to see each person get their own couples book, but we also see the other characters from the previous ones. This book unpacks a lot of personal issues of Jaru and Lark, but their friends are there to help and guide them through some awful times. Fantastic 4th book in the series, and I can’t wait for the next one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

The School of Nine is the first book in The Mythic Academy Collection series by Amanda Marin. This is a captivating YA fantasy with a magical academy/finishing school setting, Muses, sinister foes, drama, danger, high stakes, agendas, prophecy, legends/myths, good vs evil, family, duty/responsibility, friendship, journey of discovery, self-discovery, action, adventure, secrets, and a touch of sweet (clean) romance.
This isn’t the first book that I have read by Ms. Marin, and having loved her previous books, I was excited to start on a new series from her. I loved the premise, the whole ‘Mystic Academy’ aspect had me hooked before I’d even read a word. But then the first few pages certainly ‘sealed the deal’ for me.
Bianca Harper is a Muse who can trace her heritage back to one of the original nine Muses, and with that legacy comes the heavy weight of responsibility. She feels the weight of expectations on her shoulders – and she really isn’t sure she has what it takes to live up to those high expectations. She and her fellow classmates at Brightling Academy are learning everything a good Muse must know in order to ‘inspire’ all the artistic, musical, and creative ideas, which in turn then spreads goodwill and hope throughout all of humanity. But strange things have started happening, with an ancient prophecy coming to pass, and someone seems all too eager to speed those things along… And on top of that, Bianca and her friends discover that the well of creativity is running dry. Now they must find a way to help replenish the well, to stop the prophecy from completing, before it’s all too late. The very fate of humanity is riding on outcome. Add in a new male student- the first ‘male’ muse in decades, tension, suspense, dramatic developments, and a touch of romance- and the story takes a captivating turn.
Well worth the read- looking forward to Book #2!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amanda Marin!

A Song of Salt and Secrets is the second book in The Mythic Academy Collection series by Amanda Marin. This is another enchanting YA fantasy with a magical academy setting, Sirens, curses, magic, drama, danger, high stakes, agendas, myths, a touch of sweet (clean) romance, friendship, a journey of discovery, action, adventure, secrets, an ancient goddess with a grudge, fun, fairytale vibes (Little Mermaid-type story), a touch of fate, and emotion.
I loved the first book in the series, and the whole ‘Mystic Academy’ aspect – so there was never any question that I would be diving into this book as soon as it hit my Kindle. Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone if you wanted, as each instalment focuses on its own particular character/s- the common theme being the ‘Mystical Academy’- although different academies.
Magwitch Academy is where Sirens have been going for generations to learn to control their ‘deadly’ curse. But what happens if a siren unintentionally causes a nautical accident- her ‘victim’ driving his boat onto the rocks where she had been singing her song? What happens if the ‘sailor’ just happens to be young, handsome, and lives not too far away from the academy? Well, Corisande finds herself in just such a predicament- she feels an immediate connection with her ‘victim’, as if their fates are intertwining… And while fate seems to have a plan for them, exactly what that plan is, Corisande isn’t so sure… though she’s beginning to suspect a very tragic ending. Being drawn to Noah adds an extra complexity to an already overly complicated situation. Throw in some mystery, grief, a meddling mother, a powerful curse, sinister intentions, rage, grief, history, and a very vengeful goddess- and this story became unputdownable!
This is such a great little series- I’m very much looking forward to Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amanda Marin!

Finding Cheer by Heather Schneider is the second book of the Magical Emerald Hallow series. This is definitely one to read in order. This book mainly follows Sofia as the magic in and around Emerald Hallow brings on a delightful, bountiful early Spring. Sofia finds a man down in the snowy woods with no identifiers and no memory and thus begins her life-changing journey to help him. Isaiah and Sofia are just as cute a couple as Holly and Ash from book 1. This cozy romance is refreshingly clean while also staying exciting.

This book was a great addition to the series and I was really excited to get back into it. For me, this book was even better than the first and I really enjoyed the story the author has created. I loved that this book was centered on a siren, which is again not a typical main character. It added a new element to a book that was well written and a great read from the start.
The characters in this book were just as engaging as the previous and I wanted to know more about them too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to what this author produces next.

I connected with them instantly and wanted to know more about them and their story.
Overall, this is quite a short story and I think it would have definitely benefited from being a longer book. However, that did not detract from my enjoyment of the story and it definitely has me looking forward to book two. I cannot wait to see what is to come next.

This book is so fun, festive, and easy-to-read that it took me no time at all to inhale it! This is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series. I did not read the first book going into this one, but it did not make reading this one unenjoyable. I will be reading the first one soon, and I cannot wait to see how knowing the whole story will flesh-out other details for this one. This story is about the romance of Sofia and Isaiah, and it is written in a way that makes it cute and wholesome. Don’t get me wrong, I love a steamy romance, but sometimes it’s refreshing to fall into a sweet one. I highly recommend and hope for a third installment!
