While this is book 3 in the series it could definitely be read as a stand alone. However I will state that this whole series is incredible.

My Pearl HeartMy Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While I did enjoy this book there were a couple of things that made me not enjoy it as much as I could. The biggest thing I disliked is the toxic relationships. However the character development and the plot really saved the book and kept me interested to the end. The main character is smart, witty, beautiful and more. While this isn’t quiet friend to lovers or enemies to lovers it does fall into a genre pretty similar, and that alone held my attention for most of the book. But what originally drew me into this book was the beautiful front cover and the synopsis. So if you’re looking for a fun, interesting read make sure to pick this one up today.

Whispers in the Waters (Blood of the Fae, #0.5)Whispers in the Waters by Sarah Chislon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While this book was on the shorter side it was very descriptive, full of fantasy, an amazing plot line and wonderful characters. When I first picked up this book it was due to the beautiful front cover. While it took me a little while to get into the story due to the traditional writing, once I got into the story I couldn’t put it down and by the end I wanted more. While the descriptions were great there were some times that I thought the descriptions were a little long. However that being said it is a great prequel and I look forward to reading the next.

Freedom Rings: Book Three of The CircleFreedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was incredibly fast paced with enough items to keep your flipping the pages to the end. Full of amazing characters, a great plot, and of course good vs. evil, this book was the perfect way to end a trilogy. One of my favorite things about this story is that it is told from multiple povs, having multiple povs really gives you the book as a whole. But this book was such a perfect ending to a trilogy that if you haven’t read the whole trilogy I not only recommend book three but I definitely recommend books one and two as well.
