My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree is my first read by this author. Her style is vivid scenery, easy to get wrapped up in the characters, and the presentation of the story. With these three things done by Helen Tyree, makes the book that much more enjoyable to read. I would say that this is a YA book, on the other hand I would as an adult read this story. It has a fast pace movement to keep you on your toes. Since it was so easy to follow, I did not realize that I had read the whole book. I love it when you can get that involved with the story to lose all sense of the world around you to the world inside your imagination. The story is about people of Israa having evil humans take hold of their land. There is a prophecy about a Dreamer who will free them from the evil humans. It was a long time since the prophecy has been proclaimed and now there is a plan. Will the Dreamer hold true to the prophecy? Will the prophecy come true? Is there something there that wasn’t there before? All of these questions will be answered and more. I would recommend this story to forget about the world for a while. .

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree
4 Stars

This definitely falls into the YA Fantasy category. I’m giving the book four stars because the idea behind the story was original. The author has a way of writing in such detail that the book nearly comes alive. It feels as though you are there experiencing her world. The characters went on an adventure filled with action, betrayal and revenge.

The story had a lot of information to tell from the beginning to the present. I believe this story would have made an excellent three book epic adventure. The first explaining the beginning, the second being Caexia’s story and the third when the curse came to fruition. It would have given readers a chance to connect with the characters and care about them. I found the first half of the book to be heavy and tedious with the information but then the second half picks up with more action. It’s a story filled with a web of lies that keeps you wondering what will happen next.

I must stress, I rarely gravitate so quickly to fantasy novels. The Dreamer’s Vengeance however, was an impulsive choice that I am so glad I made! Helen Tyree is a new author to me, but when I saw this cover and read the blurb I was hooked already. The novel that lies between the covers is a fantastic journey that I became lost in. Tyree writes with a vividness that is rare. I felt as if I was visiting this new world, following right along with the characters. I smelled and felt the air as if they did, her writing really transforms you that much.

The plot is original with characters that you can’t help but falling in love with. Honestly, this book checks all the boxes and it is hard to say anything to the contrary. However, I will say that there were several times I did become lost in the transitions. It was complicated to decipher which character I was reading, and I found myself re-reading at times to sort it all out. The story and descriptive writing makes that an easy thing to deal with though. I can’t wait to see what else we will get from Helen Tyree. I am gonna go get some of her other novels while I wait!

The Dreamers Vengeance is a really great fantasy by Helen Tyree. It has an original premise and the story was quite fascinating. I loved The Tunnel, and so I was quite excited when I discovered this book in my recommended books feed, I couldn’t one-click fast enough. As expected, the story is well written and the ‘world’ is beautifully crafted with vividly descriptive scene setting which brought it all to life.
The story was interesting, and I was intrigued to see where it would lead. It has a great pace and a fairly smooth flow- the only minor issue I had was that it became a little choppy as we moved from one perspective into another. And at times it wasn’t completely clear as to who was speaking, and I had to re-read bits to figure it out and then get back into the flow.
With prophecy, action, revenge, discovery, adventure, betrayal, surprising developments, emotion, and magic- this story made for a great read. I am looking forward to more from Ms. Tyree!

Thank you, Ms. Tyree!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book is a departure from my normal genre but I have to admit, I did enjoy it. Tyree is skilled at making her readers form a bond with her well developed characters. You think you’ve got the plot and ending figured out only to have twist after twist. The writing seemed a bit heavy at times. I wish the story had been divided into multiple books to allow for a bit more development between parts. Fun plot with an exciting, cathartic conclusion. Nice job. 3 stars.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree was an epic YA fantasy that hooked me right from the start, and before I knew it, I had this wonder read in one sitting.

My first read by this author, I was pulled in by not only the cover, but the intriguing dark synopsis as well. I had a good feeling, and I’m glade I followed my gut. This book pulled me in, and it wasn’t long before I was engulfed in this magical world. Detailed and well written, this book takes you to another place, makes you feel like you’re there, and it gets all the feels fired up. The only thing that I would say, I could fault, was that, there were some transition issues between voice changes and MC’s. I did have to backtrack at times before I got what was going on; there just needs to be a clear break. Other then that, this book was everything I hoped for and more.

I loved the connecting MC’s, and the way everything played out. That hovering darkness kept you on edge, and man, this book got me in so many ways, that I can’t even get them out. There’s just so much good in this book, that it’s wroth the praise, and it’s worth your time and energy as well.

So yes this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval

Happy Reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree is a YA fantasy story that is action packed and a little dark in some places. This is my first read of Helen’s work and I enjoyed the story and I found her writing to be creative and unique and the well developed characters. Helen wove her tale that takes you on a vivid journey. There are many main characters and each of them tell their story throughout. The only problem I had was that there is no clear definition of when the characters are telling their story so I had to backtrack a little at times until I got the bones of Helen’s writing. It is a story that you will sit and devour as you need to know how it will all end. What happens when greed and lies call to you?

It is an enjoyable read and any YA who loves fantasy will like it too.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Dreamers Vengeance by Helen Tyree is a brilliant example of a YA fantasy novel. It has a familiar feeling of a YA novel but is also unique in itself.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. The first thing that caught my attention was the stunning cover. I was instantly drawn to it. It was simple yet completely mesmerising. I immediately wanted to know who that person was and what their story was – and I think this fit in really well with the story.
Once I opened the book I was drawn in even further. The story was well paced, it was exciting and captivating. I thought the characters were really strong and they each had their own role to play.
I thought this was a great way to be introduced to a new author. It has made me exciting to read more of their work and I would love it is we could one day revisit this brilliant world she has created.

By: Helen Tyree
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Dreamer’s Vengeance by Helen Tyree is a YA/fantasy book. It is a story that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until you have finished the final page. The story and the characters come alive and I felt like I was right there with them. There are prophecies, mystery, and conflict. The story had me at times wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Caexia and Aliana. I came to care about Aliana with each chapter that I read. There are other additional characters that are introduced, and each has their own part to play in the story. I enjoyed reading about the interactions between them. Some of them are good and helpful and others have their own plans and agenda. Read this book to find out if a prophecy that is foretold come true. The author has written an amazing story with characters that are unforgettable. It is a book that I would recommend reading.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I found her writing to be creative as well as, well developed characters. I was pulled right into the story and felt as if I was part of it. They took me on a magical journey of fantasy that the characters intertwined with each other. It has just a little bit of everything in it from romance to action. The Dreamer is my favorite character with superpower and an innocent side too. I highly recommend this book.

The mystical winged people of Israa are peaceful beings, but that’s all about to change. When an army of vicious humans invade their land, Affiza, the sorceress and leader of the Israani people, takes matters into her own hands. Before her brutal murder, she speaks of her prophecy for revenge. She foretells the coming of the Dreamer—the one who will unleash the Israani’s wrath and free them from human threat once and for all.
Seventy-five years have passed, and the prophecy has seemingly been forgotten. But the fate of the Israani is as precarious as ever. A mysterious illness has overtaken the remaining tribe, threatening its survival. In her search for answers, seventeen-year-old Caexia undertakes a journey that leads her to Syrus, a human whose charm quickly enraptures her. Their forbidden union results in an unexpected pregnancy. But Syrus’ abandoned wife has also given birth to a child…
Aliana may be human, but within her resides a power that can bring about unimaginable destruction. Her power has been lying dormant… until now.
On the children’s sixteenth birthdays, the chains in the prophecy’s link will connect, and nothing will ever be the same. Fathers will betray children. Siblings will rise against each other. And a young girl who doesn’t fit in will discover a gift capable of setting the entire world on fire.

Winging It (Destiny Rules Series Book 1) Lisa Gail Green – Review by Emily Walsh

Winging It (Destiny Rules Series Book 1)Winging It
By: Lisa Gail Green
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Winging It (Destiny Rules Series Book 1) Lisa Gail Green was a fast moving hooking read, that left me wanting more.

Wow, like wow, I am beyond impressed with this fresh, unique, original read that I can’t even progress right now. I don’t normally read YA books with a male MC, I’m glade I took that change because I would have missed out on probably of the best reads of the year so far. Now true there are some typical YA cliché and tropes, but they were done in a way that wasn’t over powering or annoying. It was weird, because I found myself enjoying the story more with those nods. The plot was on point, witty and fun, like you can sense the danger and the urgency, but with Zach voicing the story, it had this snarky tone that just draws you in and hooks you. I loved pretty much everything about this book, and the twists and turns, man, this book keeps you on your toes.

Overall if you haven’t guessed, this book gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval. Trust me, you need this book in your life.

Happy Reading

By: Amy Bearce
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shortcuts (Singularities) by Amy Bearce was a hooking fun, engaging, well crafted and just, made me fall back in love with YA.

My first read by this author,. and I have to say I am going to be adding her to my watch list. This book is fresh, different and just had this wicket vibe to it. It had things I love about YA, and it has the things I wish other YA series had. It felt almost real, even with the powers. Man I’m having a time trying to get out how special this book is. On a technical side, this book is as I said, well crafted. The writing is smooth, connecting and it draws you in. The detail was spot on, and I felt at times I was watching a movie, I just got completely lost in this book. The characters, not just the MC, are loveable, realistic, and properly some of the best I’ve read about this year.

If anything you need to give this book a chance, and if you were like me and falling out of love with YA, this book will drawn you back in rekindle a new love. This book broke the mold, and it gets my super high recommendation, and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Sixteen-year-old Zach discovers his mom is a fairy godmother. But what’s really freaking him out is the fact that he’s a fairy too. Now that his mom’s been injured, he must finish her assignments before the next full moon or they’re both grounded, meaning no wings, no wands, and no position in the Organization of Destiny Fulfillment (ODF). Sure it would suck to lose his newfound powers, but Zach quickly learns there’s far more at stake. Failure also means messing up the lives of the people he’s supposed to help.
Forever.
Between a fairy-trainee who happens to be the girl he’s been in love with since fifth grade, a boss he doesn’t trust, and a gremlin physics teacher that wants to eat him, Zach’s pretty sure even a magic wand can’t bail him out.

Winging It has been a featured book on WATTPAD and here are just a few of the comments from readers:

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! BRAVO BRAVO! I sincerely, really loved this book. What was funny is I went out on a wing from werewolf and tried out fantasy and I love it. Your book inspires me to read more fantasy. Excellent story telling.”

“Amazing, absolutely amazing. What a beautiful ending.”

“I love this ending! It leaves just enough loose ends that imagination can fill in the gaps. Whatever happens next, I’m glad I somehow found this amazing book!”

“This was one of the best books I’ve ever read please make a sequel!!”

“I really enjoyed the book! And i spent like two whole days reading it.. i couldnt put it down at all XD
