My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, it pulled me in from the start and it kept me reading throughout I didn’t find myself getting bored or anything. I really liked the characters and thought they were well developed rather than be supporting 1 sided characters they were really well rounded. I loved the little short novella and I’d be interested to read more of C.A. King’s writing. But yes really thoroughly enjoyed the story!

Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis Book 1) by Kelli Kimble – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Bonds That Beckon (Daughters of Anubis, #1)Bonds That Beckon by Kelli Kimble
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this young-adult, paranormal story. This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is a fantasy story about Iris. She is a young girl that just wants to be accepted but outsiders are not necessarily viewed as good by the town. What will she do when she is presented with an opportunity by a stranger that she may not be able to resist? This is where the story really picks up and was hard to put down. What will happen with Iris and the town? Iris made such a great character. She is connectable, strong and really made the story for me. The story has a realistic feel and just pops. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great box set that has a collection of spooky and paranormal stories by nineteen awesome authors. There is something for everyone in this box set. Each story is unique and will keep you reading. One of my favorite stories is Karma’’s Karnival. This is a story that is dark and engaging. The author’s attention to detail made you feel as if you are right there with the characters. It made the history portions easy to read and entertaining. Ellie made such a great character, not only connectable, strong but lovable too. I loved each story and the suspense was just what I needed on a cold afternoon. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Super Sorry by C.A. King is one of the best examples of a YA fantasy story that I have read in a long time. This book had everything you could want – excitement, hilarity, an amazing character – while also show casing exactly what it is to be someone of this age. You really need to make sure you have plenty of time when you start reading this book as I can guarantee that once you start it you will not want to put it down!
For me Sarah is such an incredible character. She was so easy to connect with and relate to. But I also found her to be so entertaining as well. She drew me fully in to this story and even now I find myself thinking about! This book is just another example of why this author has quickly become one of my favourites. I would highly recommend you reading this book today!

This was my first book by C.A. King. I haven’t really been into supernatural books lately, but I’m so glad I took a chance on this one. Our main female is Clara Fawn. She’s your typical teenager, hates moving around as often as her parents need her to for their work. Hates going to new schools CONSTANTLY. Hates when her parents keep things from her and won’t let her do normal teenage things. This story had my attention right away and I cannot wait until the next one comes out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Wendigo Forrest is a fantastic YA paranormal story by C.A. King. The story is everything I have come to expect from Ms. King- a well written, intriguing, and engaging tale- with wonderful world building, a little mysteriousness, some dramatic developments, and a bit of spookiness that kept things interesting.
This is a very short story, which made for a very quick and easy read- I would like to have read a slightly longer version of this book and be able to immerse myself in the story with more detail, but still an enjoyable book. The characters are well developed individuals who are entirely realistic and believable.
I enjoyed meeting Clara, a teenage Fawn, and following along as the story unfolded. Mystery and spookiness ensue- making for a great read!

Thank you, Ms. King!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say, this is my fav so far from CA King. I was immediately drawn into Super Sorry. From the gorgeous and eye catching cover to the fantasy world within that comes alive off the pages as you read. This is one of those you will wanna set aside a few hours so you can read this in one fell swoop. If you like it half as much as I did that will be too easy to do. I loved the way this book layered fantasy with real life in a way that makes the lessons easy to catch but still interesting and fun to read. Sarah is one awesome main character and she was fun to watch grow throughout the story. We find her as she discovers that she has abilities that she has no idea how to use. The journey she takes will have you laughing and cheering for her as she finds her way in this new and magical world. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from CA King!

Shattered Reality (Summoned #1) C.A. King

This is the first book by King that I’ve read. It won’t be my last as I loved this book. If you like paranormal and romance then this is for you.

Mudesa has to go back to her childhood home after she learns of the death of her parents. Six months. Can she survive the six months? The quote I chose for Mudesa is: “I’m never going back! There is nothing you can do to make me!”

Perry has clients who want to buy antiques. When he meets the owner of the house what happens. Will he find his happily ever after? The quote I chose for Perry is: “I have been collecting items for people for some time. I know how daunting the job can be. Trust me, it is much easier to find skeletons with someone standing beside you.”

Recommended for fantasy paranormal romance.

Reading Shattered Reality was quick and enjoyable. C.A. King takes you to a place that gives the mind a little shake. Making you question your reality. Could everything really be as it is or is it a mirrored image of a different reality. I really liked the spin with the mirrors and magic. The fact that Mudesa didn’t believe in any of it gave the story a kick. I really enjoyed the plot. The story had a really nice flow and no sidetracking. I did find it annoying that she didn’t believe magic for so long with everything happening around her. Perry is a creepy character for me. The way he appeared through the story. Then you find out why and the pieces fall into place. I also like that I couldn’t figure out the story line from the start. Like I said it’s a good read with a little magic.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Shattered Reality’ is an engaging and enjoyable paranormal fantasy story which is a retelling of the ancient mythological tale of Perseus and Medusa and is set in modern times. In this story Mudesa Black is a successful and respected psychiatrist who has left her estranged family behind her. However, having received a phone call Mudesa finds herself heading back home to Knollville and her family’s ageing mansion to face both her fears and her destiny. Meanwhile in Knollville private investigator Perry P’s latest client who has remained anonymous is happy paying him for what he sees as an easy job for easy money. All Perry has to do is watch ‘some dame’ for a few months however the more he watches the more curious he gets about the mysteries at the ageing mansion. Perry is not the only one wanting to unravel the mansions secrets as Mudesa plays detective herself. The pair soon discover that solving the mysteries may bring them both closure but in ways that they did not imagine were even possible.
This was a page turner of a novel which had me hooked from page one. The author is very good at bringing both the setting of the book and also the characters to life due to her detailed and descriptive narrative. The storyline flowed well and the plot had enough twists in it to keep me guessing until the end. I felt immersed in the novel whilst reading it and as it’s book one in the authors new ‘Summoned’ series I look forward to reading book two.

This one is a struggle. The writing just seemed to not flow very well. The characters are interesting and there is nice banter between the two MC. I really liked the gun and the dog. Both are very cool! I did at times feel like I was missing something as they repeatedly mentioned other incidents that happened when they had worked together. Maybe if I had read the first one it would fall into place better. This is the second in the series but is a standalone.

Shattered Reality by C.A. King is the first book in the new Summoned series. I always enjoy a new book by C.A. King and this did not disappoint. Retelling and reworking the tale of Medusa and Perseus into modern times wonderfully I flew through the pages of this book. Mudesa Black, a psychiatrist, who has a new role to take in her life is the main character. Perry P. is a private investigator with a mysterious new client. I have always enjoyed this classic tale and many do not take it on especially reworking to modern times. C.A. King did a great job and created characters I really enjoyed and a story which was fantastic. I look forward to more from this series and the author in the future.

Super Sorry by C. A. King is a great change of pace from the books I have been reading. C. A. is one of my go to writers and this story was wonderful. This is a YA read with all of the teenage challenges, not to mention adding in super powers. The characters are relatable and the story flows from beginning to end. Sarah Sorry is a typical teen, wanting to hang out with friends, but then things start changing. This is my new favorite book of C.A. King. I like the fact that most of her books are short enough to read in a day or two, and they are always pack with great writing and thought provoking issues.

Wendigo Forest by C.A. King is a YA paranormal story that is an intriguing read. The story is fast paced and a quick read and enjoyable. CA delivers us a great mystery that has well developed characters and brings us into the fold of this mysterious world of what is out there in the dark and monsters are real. Clara and her parents never seem to settle in one place for too long. After slowly putting pieces together of overheard conversations she soon discovers there is more to the world she lives in, things that definitely go bump in the night.

I loved reading the book Wendigo Forest by C.A. King. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Clara Fawn. She and her family were always on the move and Clara is the one that felt the impact of it. I felt empathy for Clara as she felt like an outsider whenever she started over. The book has a suspenseful feeling all the way through. There is mystery in the air, and I was turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. What will Clara and her family find in their new hometown? Read this book to find out. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining book. I would highly recommend reading it.

The Bishops Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) is a fantasy romance set in post WW2 America. Rhett, an agent for Redclaw, is tasked with partnering up with her colleague Peter Knight to discover what has been causing the weird goings on in rural suburbia. Having not read the first book, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to easily follow the story and connect with the characters, my favourite being Captain the dog/dinosaur. The story is a mystery with a coinciding romance, but I feel like I need to read more as I desperately want to know what happens next. I would recommend to fans of both the paranormal and mystery genres.

The characters are really well developed and bring the story to life. I had no problems connecting with them. This is a story that brings a town full of myths and characters with a past. The Fawns move from town to town but in this new town, there are myths told. Entering the forest without hearing these myths could prove dangerous. I really enjoyed this story and the fantasy adventure it took me on. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Bishop’s Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) by McKenna Dean is a paranormal romance story. It is a fun and witty tale that is set in the 50’s and is not all that it seems. An agent, her partner, a dog that causes chaos and is not just a dog and a house in the burbs are just some of the things we encounter on this paranormal journey. I loved the banter between the characters which made it all the more interesting. McKenna throws in a curve ball towards the end which leaves the story not wrapped up in a bow. It is an engaging read and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next instalment. If you love paranormal you will like this one.
