Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Magic-Price is an epic fantasy. This is the first book in the series The Crown of Stones. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantastical journeys. My favorite epic fantasies are the LOTR series, the Hobbit and the Witcher. Which basically means I have pretty high standards with this genre, and Magic-Price DID NOT disappoint!

From the beginning Ian is in the thick of a losing war and he uses magic to do what must be done to stop it. However, using magic comes with a steep price and he must pay it. For 10 years Ian has been living with the guilt of his actions. Because of that he lives on the move and refuses to use magic. All of that quickly changes for Ian when he finds the woman he’s been bounty hunting. After this meeting Ian is forced onto a path that not only requires him to start using magic again, but to also face his past deeds.

To right his wrongs Ian must begin a journey into enemy lands with his two companions Jarryd and Malaq. Along the way they create a bond of friendship and face unimaginable burdens together. When the fate of the world rest in the trio’s hands they have to overcome all obstacles to save everyone.

This book was a page turner for me. I could not get enough. I absolutley loved it for the amazing world building and because the characters were written with great depth and intensity. I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the next books!

Unlikely to Fit (A Parker Lake Novel Book 2)Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Fit is a second chance at love romance. This is a standalone book in the Parker Lake series.

Breckin is a strong and independent women who had her heart broken by her husband. When she moved back to her hometown she expected to have the perfect life. However, that was not the case. Her husband left her for a newly graduated cheerleader and she was left with the wreckage he caused. One drunken girls night puts Breckin on a path she didn’t see coming and his name is Griff. Breckin starts to have feelings for Griff but she keeps second guessing herself and isn’t sure if she can put herself out there again.

Griff moved back to Parker when his childhood sweetheart died unexpectedly. Griff is a catch. He is handsome, tattooed and kind to everyone. He is the kind of man who takes his Meemaw grocery shopping and plans her 90th birthday. However, he has not truly joined the living since his love passed. Things start to change when he keeps running into beautiful Breckin. He feels attracted to her but is he willing to move on from his first love?

This second chance at love book is sweet and funny. Griff’s meemaw is hilarious. I love all of the characters in this book, but Meemaw is my favorite. She is like most of the women in this book. Fierce, intelligent and independent, but she has so much hilarious fire in her. I absolutley love how this book describes small towns to a T. Between news traveling faster than a cheetah and old time regulars who do not like any change. Parker is a town filled with loyal, caring and protective characters. It just makes me want to live there! I can’t wait to visit Parker again in book 3.
