I wish that all books were as easy to read as this one was! I laughed and laughed throughout the entire thing! I truly appreciate the fresh breath of air that this book gave me. It wasn’t too deep or emotional. This is a great YA book.
Tompkin’s School: For The Resurrected by Tabi Slick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tomkins School: For the Resurrected by Tabi Slick a five-star read that will bring the fire to your life. This is number three in the Supernatural Academy series and they have gone from strength to strength, I would say to read them in order as the do complement each other, especially now we have the whole trilogy, the build the world and make it so good you can’t help but be there with them. The characters are great Izara and Kain pull you in and are pulled as well, that added something extra to this one. Of all of the trilogy this one was my favourite, I don’t know if it was as I knew the characters better, or there was just something extra, this one pulled me in harder. Do not miss this great series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars!
Yes! I want more! I wasn’t sure how this book was going to play out being so short, or if I would even be able to get in to it, I DID! I was so hooked by the last page I was screaming for more! I’m not sure if I have ever read a story centered around wendigos but I loved this story. Clara seems like an odd one, but I was so hoping she would make some new friends that she could form a long lasting relationship with, but she felt as if she was the odd one out yet again. I am also holding out hope that Hank isn’t a jerk, sometimes he seems like he would be and then other times I am hoping for Clara and Hank to develop something special. Her parents are only in this town to chase down the most current serial killer, an assumed wendigo. There is a nice twist at the end that will change Clara’s life forever. I really need to see what happens next so fingers crossed there is a follow up to this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wendigo Forest by C.A. King a fast paced five-star read. This is a typical read by this author, its engaging, compelling and will have you wondering where the time went when you finish as you start this story, and get so gripped by the story you don’t look up until its over. I did finish it and feel like there could have been more pages, but I feel that about most novels. Clara was a character that you could get behind, she is struggling, and you can see her story unfolding. What I love most about this author is the way the words appear on the page, they reveal a story before your eyes, you can see the characters and the scene unfold like a movie in your mind. Do not miss this author as they have a great way with words.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a great young adult read but is so well written that even as an adult I was drawn in a captivated by the story. It had a strong female character and the authors writing is so good the images it creates bring the story to life.
Sarah Sorry has a simple life. She is popular and has good friends. To her appearances in everything. So imagine her horror when one day she gets a zit.
But these aren’t just normal zits. These show her the beginning of her powers that she didn’t know she had.
She has no idea how to control them or how they work, and while trying to keep her image in tact she makes mistakes in more ways that one.
Being a teenager just got more complicated. Can she learn to control her power? Or will they destroy her image and status in school?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tompkin’s School: For The Resurrected (A Supernatural Academy Trilogy Book 3) by Tabi Slick is a YA dark paranormal fantasy story. This series is unique, original and engaging. It had me hooked from book one and has only gotten better. Tabi’s fabulous characterisation and world building makes the story pop of the pages and I was so engrossed in the story that it was over before I realised it. It’s sad that this is the last in the line of this trilogy, but I am looking forward to seeing what Tabi has instore for us in the future.

By Kelli Kimble
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis Book 1) by Kelli Kimble. It is an amazing story and has amazing characters. I loved the character of Iris. She just wants to fit in in the small town of Salvation, Wes Virginia. When she meets Mr. Anu she is told many things about what she is. She is also drawn to a young man named Jacob. What does the future hold for Iris? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Iris with each chapter that I read. She is intelligent, independent, and strong. I was rooting for her to find her way. I also enjoyed the character of Mr. Anu. He is so mysterious. Does Jacob feel drawn to Iris as well? Other characters are introduced and while some of them have their agenda others are helpful to Iris and her family. The author makes the story and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that you will not want to put down until the final page. It is a wonderful start to a series. I highly recommend it.

I have read numerous stories from this author. I usually enjoy them and look forward to more. This one is a short read. It is very slow with a lot of narration. This one is good for a Halloween storytelling-time kind of year. It has spooky elements that are good for the dark room, eerie music, campfire telling. Just the execution could have been better. I am glad this isn’t my first book by this author, not sure I would look for more.

I loved reading this anthology. Some stories will have chills running up and down your spine. Some stories have you checking under the bed, just in case. Some stories include the paranormal. I enjoyed the shifter stories. I love anthologies as I get to read stories from authors that I know and also discover new ones as well. Some of the stories included are: Karma Karnival by Aubrey Wynne – This is a story about a most unusual Karnival. What is in store for those who come there? Also Drained – By Monique Singleton, The Guardian’s Nightmare – By Yvette Bostic, Dungeons and Demons Part Two – By Kayla Krantz, and Jilted – By Azaaa Davis. All of the authors have done an amazing job of making their stories and characters come alive. These are stories that will have you wondering what is going to happen next.

Wendigo Forest by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wendigo Forest is an exciting Young Adult paranormal fantasy from C.A. King. I’ve enjoyed many of King’s books and this is a fun short read that introduces us to yet another world from her imagination.
Wendigo Forest is an urban fantasy. It feels a bit like Supernatural at times, if Sam and Dean had a teenager in tow who thought they had some exciting but decidedly un-supernatural job. Clara is tired of constantly moving from place to place, from school to school. She doesn’t see the point in trying to make new friends. At her new school, though, her classmates are going out of their way to welcome her and involve her in their community.
I liked the inclusion of Mr Flufunny! It makes a lot of sense that Clara would rely on a familiar comfort and seemingly silly rituals as her life is always so unsettled.
For me, this is a four-star book that left me wanting more. I really hope we get to hear how Clara’s next adventure goes (but if not, there’s plenty to inspire my imagination!).
Fans of C.A. King will love this new story, and it’s a great entry point. It’s a short, easy read and geared towards older teen and young adult readers so it’s a great way to get a taste of King’s fantastic writing and imagination before trying a longer book.

Wendigo Forest by C.A. King is a YA paranormal story that is an intriguing fast paced read. This was my first book by C.A. King, and I was incredibly pleased with my decision to read this book. In this story we follow Clara Fawn who does not seem to settle to long in one place with her family and she absolutely hates it. The characters and story are so developed for it being a short story! You won’t be disappointed.

I was so excited to get my hands on Wendigo Forest by CA King! I was not one bit let down either and this book was the perfect read for my pre-Halloween celebration. I dove in during an early snow storm in the evening curled up with a blanket and this was just the perfect addition to my evening. I loved how this read fast and was a shorter novella so it felt very much like a grown-up bedtime story for me as I was reading and that added to the mystical and magic of this novel that much more. This is full of wonderful and vivid imagery, something I have come to love from CA King, and it makes you feel as if you are right there for everything as the characters are. This is a paranormal read obviously with the WENDIGO as a basis the story is built upon. This is done in an original way and really felt fresh and new as I read it, not an old tale just retold. We meet Clara, a fawn in her formative years as she traverses the world King as created and the creatures that inhabit it. Prepare for some scare moments and some suspense! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from CA King!

Bishop’s Gambit by McKenna Dean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was not honestly sure what to expect when I picked up Bishop’s Gambit as it was the second book in the series Redclaw Origins from McKenna Dean, but I knew I needed to read it the moment I saw the cover. It really drew me in and I had to know what adventure awaited the characters on gracing the cover. This book was quite the adventure and I was not disappointed. I do wish I just started with book one because I enjoyed it and would have had that backstory for the romance part of this novel. That may have made this even better so I will be doing a re-read once I read book one.
In Bishop’s Gambit we find the main characters, Peter Knight and Rhett Bishop, as they face a new assignment together professionally and also during the early stages of their relationship together. These two had me cracking up at times and on the edge of my seat at others. I loved the detective parts as much as the action and paranormal undertones as well. I am super excited to dive into this series more in the very near future!

This is the third book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the two previous books. This is a well developed story that has characters that bring the story to life. They made the story engaging and entertaining to read. I had no problems connecting with them. The twins, Izara and Kain are back in another supernatural story. In this story they find themselves being pulled in opposite directions. They also find themselves battling their inner demons. Will they lose everyone the love and care about? I really enjoyed this series and this book. It is a fun story that the author has written easy to read. Izara and Kain made such great characters and really made this story for me. I highly recommend it.

Interesting new YA read by C.A. King.
The name caught my attention first with it’s double meaning…. it gave a great insight into the direction the Author took this story.
With some humor and tepicle teenage problems mixed together with a new take on supernatural fantasy, Super Sorry has it all.
Great world building and the MC is funny and spunky just how I like them.
But the stand out in this story was definitely her sidekick……

This is my first read by McKenna Dean, not knowing what to expect I went in open-minded and I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This book is full of action, adventure, mystery and suspense and I was hooked from the get-go! This was a mentally visual read, and with the author’s brilliant descriptions it makes it that much easier to connect to the storyline and the characters she has created. Being part of a series I thought I would need book 1 to really get an understanding of it, but it flowed effortlessly on its own. I highly recommend you pick up this read.

Wendigo Forest is a YA Paranormal story by C.A. King and is everything you would want in a short story. It is full of fantasy and myths that are well written and fast paced. You will be brought along on the adventures that Clara experiences and discovers.
Thank you Ms. King for well developed characters who become realistic the deeper you get in the book. My only complaint is that it would have been amazing if it had been longer so that we could have gotten even more in depth and close to the Fawns.

I have to say that C.A. King has a wild imagination. I have never read a story quite like this. I loved it! It was quirky and original. Sarah Sorry is a teenager who believes appearances mean everything. She has abilities that emerge in the most unusual ways. Her life does a complete 360 but is it for the better? She is a super hero in the making but there will be mistakes along the way. It’s time she realizes what is really important. This is a definite must read.

Bishops Gambit by McKenna Dean is the second book in the Redclaw Origins series. This is a brilliant example of a great detective novel and I liked the fact that it was set in current times. It meant the book had a unique feel to it and the story feel new and refreshing.
The characters were great as well. They had such a strong connection and just seemed to work really well together – both professionally and beyond. It felt like you could really get to know them!
The author has a great writing style as well. She kept the story moving at all times and really gave the characters the room to tell their story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to what comes next.

Bishop’s Gambit is the second book in the Redclaw Origins series by McKenna Dean.
This book has so much going on in it, in a good way- from espionage, an undercover investigation, history, romance, paranormal elements, suspense, action, danger, and some unexpected developments-which all made for quite an intriguing read.
As expected, the story is really fascinating, and Ms. Dean definitely didn’t disappoint- proving once again that she has a real gift for storytelling!
I am loving everything Redclaw, from the Origins series, to the Redclaw Security- I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thank you, McKenna Dean!
