My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading The Second Alpha Heir by C.L. Ledford was a wonderful experience that, given the choice, I would have had in a single afternoon; alas, I was forced to put it down and come back. The world we are brought into is enough like other books in the genre to be easily understood while being unique enough to provide interesting twists to the story.

The main character, Nolen, is kind and considerate due to unfortunate circumstances in his history. The book takes us on an adventure though his teen years and young adult life but provides insights into his past and glimpses of the future. The love story is a subtle, slow-burn that had me cheering for the characters.

If you’re looking for a story with well-thought-out characters, a soft romance, and an intriguing plot – then this book is for you!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flame and Crystal Thorns begins a new series by Kay L. Moody. It is the story of Chloe who appears to have been a minor character from an earlier series. I am not certain as I’ve never read another book by this author. The book can, however, be read, understood, and enjoyed as a stand-alone read – though it did have a slow feeling start without prior knowledge of the characters and mystical world Ms. Moody has created.

Ms. Moody did a lovely job of explaining character motivation and interactions found in her previous work. Her writing is flowing and filled with descriptive language to help the reader immerse in the story. I found the story enchanting with a creative use of magic and its magical boundaries. The main character, Chloe, feels real as she struggles through doubt and fear. In a refreshing twist, we follow a reluctant hero with abilities but also heart and crippling fears. The intwined love story gave the book an intriguing companion for Chloe and added some interesting twists. All in all, I think I will need to get my hands on more works by Ms. Moody soon!
