Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns – Wolf (Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns) by R. C. Reigh – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf is the beginning to a new YA, Fantasy, Romance series that I am totally into after reading this book. I have never read anything by this author but upon reading the book description and seeing that it was a good read for people who love beauty and the beast solidified my decision to read it. I loved the alternating POV in the storyline and the fiercely independent, stubborn girl that Amelia is and the determined, well meaning, charismatic prince in Dane. The story was rich and absorbing and I am excited to see what will come next in book two!

Mis-Spelled: Book One of the Stellaluna Chronicles by T.H. Leatherman

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Mis-Spelled is the first book in The Stellaluna Chronicles. The book took me no time to read. It may seem a little longer, but really it’s not. The book had me engrossed from the beginning.

Evan is running from his brother and his goons. Trying to keep them away he runs into the woods. What happens when he crosses over into another world? How will he get back? Can he do anything they ask of him? The quote I chose for Evan is: “I mean, the giant is going looking for me, er, Geezer, who was me, pretending to be… You know what, never mind. The hill giant is going north to harass the ogres.”

The Sacrifice (Dragonpets Book 1) by R.L.S. Hoff

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Sacrifice is the first book in the Dragonpets Series. This book took me a couple hours to read. The author sure knows how to capture the reader’s attention.

Rilla is put out for a sacrifice. She is told that she’s going to die by the dragon. When the dragon gets there she finds that she can hear the dragon speak in her mind. As the time passes by she finds herself falling for the dragon. The quote I chose for Rilla is: “Vidar, are you all right? Can I help you in any way?”

Vidar is the dragon meant to get the cow. Only it isn’t a cow he gets, it’s a human. A beautiful, strong willed, and brave human woman. He marks her so she’s able to enter his home. Then he marks her as his wife. He’s a little shocked that she marks him. The quote I chose for Vidar is: “You’ve given me a dragon mark.”

The Blood Prince by Ayla Marie – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

The Blood PrinceThe Blood Prince by Ayla Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leo is a young man who has supernatural talents, he is a mercenary and is known as “the Blood Prince” because of the colour of blood which sweeps into his eyes whenever he has to complete a job, or fight an adversary who has taken a dislike to him. It is because his skills as a fighter and executioner combined give him an edge over the competition that he is the right hand man of one of the crime lords in the city he lives in, but this is also the reason he has to keep in the shadows. In the country of Tominay, it is forbidden to have blood eyes and if you are caught, you face certain death, but this has been a way of life for Leo for so long, it has now become his normality and Lady Death is never far away.

As a youth, he participated in underground fights in illegal arenas so that he could put food on the table for his siblings, now he continues this while protecting them from external forces who would do them harm and he would protect them with his life if he had to and this becomes even more important when his younger brother shows signs of following in his paranormal path. Leo is heading out for his next job when his boss approaches him and informs him that he knows what powers his brother has shown and that he wants him to join his mercenaries, this is something which Leo has always been scared of, so albeit he agrees to the deal, he has no intention of following through and as soon as he gets home he instructs his siblings to pack a bag each and ready to leave as soon as they can so that they can escape into the night.

As the siblings flee their home, they try and journey to the land of their ancestors, but it is a long and dangerous road for them, especially when past and present collide to bring more trials and tribulations to the family as they risk discovery and slaughter, but will they find the happy ending they are looking for, or will they only find more pain and hardship? This is a tale full of fantasy, danger, secrets, lies, truths and family where nothing is as it seems and there are twists and turns throughout, in this race for survival in a land fraught with obstacles, which will leave you breathless as if you are racing with them.

Ayla Marie is a Canadian high school student whose love for fantasy started when she was twelve and hasn’t dulled since. She will read any book you put in front of her—textbooks do not count—especially when they have action packed storylines and a romantic subplot that makes you want to read as fast as you can, while wishing it would never end. Though writing, reading, and studying take up most of her time—or all her time according to her younger brother—she always manages to find space in her schedule to play some soccer and hang out with friends and family. Her goofy dog and two cats are her biggest fans, and though she could have done without the constantly interrupting barks and meows, she loves their annoying presence very much.

The Blood Prince is her debut novel, but she plans to write many more, deepening her love for writing and literature with every page.

Twilight’s Curse: Book 1 Twilight Realm Trilogy by K.M. Wray Review by Mandy Ott

Twilight's CurseTwilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book! The world that K.M. Wray weaves in this first book Twilight’s Curse is, for lack of a better word, fantastical! There are so many elements of this world, and all seem so magical and enchanting. While the individual pieces of K.M. Wray’s Twilight Realm are magical, the story still has some darkness to it. The characters are well-written and still have some realism to their emotions and thoughts, which helps connect the reader to them. There are many characters in the story, but their connections to one another are explained to the reader, which I really enjoyed. I have read many Young Adult fantasies before and Twilight’s Curse ranks among one of the more interesting I have read. I cannot wait for the rest of the Trilogy!

Zoe is the daughter of the one who is taking over Twilight Realm. She is not really loved as she is being used. When she meets Nix she knows something is different about him. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “Where to? Surely you’re not allowed to try another tattoo after what happened the last time.”

Nix was thirteen years old when his parents were killed. What the murderer doesn’t know is he watched his parents die. The quote I chose for Nix is: “Elek, my father. What did he mean when he said that he sacrificed himself for the Twilight Realm?”

Then Lucifer comes along and now the one he loves is in danger. The quote I chose for Marcus is: “The council is taking a hard position with my mother.

Or at least a refund?”

Chase sees Alena and waits until the next time he sees her. He asks the hardest question about Ivy. They start hanging out but her mom doesn’t know. The quote I chose for Chase is: “Do you think about her often? I hadn’t thought about you since kindergarten. Mom said I cried for weeks.”

The author pulls you in right away with her very likable, relatable characters, and the imaginative world of the Jinn realm. You are drawn into the life of Liam and his uncanny ability to constantly get hurt. She keeps you reading to find out why everything is happening. The unexpected twists surprise you too! Who can he trust? Who is telling him the truth?

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It won’t be my last as I’ve fallen for this series. Lynn knows how to turn our normal fairytales into another world.

Little Red Riding Hood has a name and it’s not Red. Her name is Rose and she isn’t out hunting just one wolf. She’s hunting wolves as in more than one because they killed her family. She runs into James again although this time he’s got a hook for a hand. Join them on they’re journeys. The quote I chose for Rose is: “Yes, you are a good man, James. You’re a good man who did some very foolish things and was manipulated by an evil witch. One act of idiocy doesn’t set you for life as an evil man.”

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn takes us into the life of Liam. Liam’s life is just one incident of being bullied after another. And if that isn’t enough, if he isn’t being bullied, then he has the worst luck. Liam believes his life will always be this way and that he cannot do anything to escape his bad luck and torment. Until, one day, he discovers the Jinn. He then goes on an adventure that turns his life upside down and changes everything he thought he knew about himself. I enjoyed reading this fun adventure.

This was a fun and magical young adult book. I really enjoyed that the main character was a boy and a shy boy that doesn’t fit in. The authors portrayal of the character and the world around him really creates the scene.

Liam is a 16 year old boy. He has a special gift. He can see colours around people but only when they are up to no good. As much as he tries to stay away from trouble it always seems to be attracted to him.

Through this story he has his life saved by an unlikely person, he makes an enemy and finds a strange shell on a school field trip. What the shell is and what it means is one mystery that gets unravelled and leads Liam into some dangerous situations.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald JinnGranted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was excited to read this as in the description it stated that fans of Artemis Fowl would enjoy it. When I was younger, I loved Artemis Fowl, in fact, I still have the books so having the chance to find something that was just as gold as that made me super duper happy. I’ve got to say that Huffmire has really written something brilliant here that I think both young people and adults will enjoy. It is fun, it is magical, and it has some wonderful characters.
Liam is one of these wonderful characters and he has a simple code that he lives by; keep a very low profile – head down and don’t draw attention to yourself – stay away from the colours, the bright and blinding colours, and absolutely don’t make contact with Kenna Berlin. This code happens to be in answer to some very weird and wonderful things that happen to Liam, like for example, seeing colourful shadows that no one else can.
Of course, this story wouldn’t be a story if Liam’s code didn’t get a little blurred around the edges, and it does, it really does. One day changes it all, Kenna becomes impossible to ignore, keeping his head down becomes difficult with the most popular guy at school out to get him, and a shell that he happened to find is making the colours way brighter.
I got to say that I loved reading this and Huffmire really did capture all the elements I thought were brilliant in Artemis Fowl. Huffmire is a talented writer and I look forward to reading more of her work, she really brings magic into her work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmire was a really good read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, and it was a tale unlike any I’ve read before. I won’t lie though. It took me several chapters before I fully became enthralled in this novel. I was pretty confused at the beginning, what with the colors and the random events that happened (not so random in the long scheme of things) and it felt like it wasn’t really explained well. But it did all get explained later. I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I expected to, which was pretty surprising considering I didn’t like it very much at the beginning. This was a very interesting read and I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future!
