Plague of Fate (Anchoress Series #2) by DL Armillei
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers attention and have them coming back to the stories. Plague of Death is the second book in the Anchoress Series.
Vanessa is sent on a second mission and this time it seems even more dangerous for her and the team. Paley is brought along once again, but Vanessa doesn’t hold the other Twin Gemstone. Her feelings are bottled up and she needs to find a way to deal with them. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “No wonder the Balish want them…eliminated.”

Shock of Fate (Anchoress Series #1) by DL Armillei
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. So far the Anchoress Series is something I’m keeping my eye out for. The author creates a wonderful new world for me to escape to.
Vanessa thinks everything is normal and she is the reason her mother died in childbirth. Her father’s boss lets her know she is one working on a summer project on the reservation for a month. Her life is about to change and she’s not sure if it’s for the best or not. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “It’s because of that— that shadow-wolf, isn’t it?”

This book was amazing and something all ages would enjoy. I have to play catch up and read book 1, but book 2 still took my breath away. The story itself is vividly told and the characters just dance through the imagination in this world that’s been created. Each character plays a critical role within the story, and as it progresses you clearly see their growth. Everyone has a story to tell, and it all brings the tale together. Seth was quite the hero and you cheer him on hoping for that happy medium of the love of a woman and the future of his his sister. So much went on within the story and from start to finish you will find yourself intertwined with the characters journey.

This book was excellent! I really enjoyed the different take on a different time and place. The intentionality with which the author built the world, creating and building different types of places and biases is absolutely amazing. It mirrors our world, showcasing the differences between the citizens. However, even with the differences between them and us, the characters are still relatable, making me want to know them more.

Tavormina – Review by Jo Frizzell
Another Alignment is here, and it is Van’s senior year Jaychund Games… which don’t go well. Van learned last year that she must accept her emotions, she cannot have a heart of stone. She seems to have swung a little too far in the opposite direction and is feeling ALL the things, about many different subjects. Van continues to struggle with the fact she cannot date Brux, even though she has developed feelings for Ferox. As always, there is a lot of danger, drama, and angst as Van and her team try to complete the next mission they are sent. There is also a character that I was surprised to see!
Each book in this series gets better and I am sad I now have to wait for the next book to be released.

This second book picks up a year later as Van is training to use her light to protect the world. It starts with a brush by her greatest fear: the quasher, the dark to her light, that lives in the shadows. She trains herself and her team hard, and hardens her inside to be the best warrior for her people.
Unfortunately this summer sees her on a new adventure filled with even more risk since her powers are awakening and the enemy tribe have outlawed her traveling through the other world. With a new team along for the ride Vanessa must try to stop a mysterious illness that is turning terrigens into demons. Along this trip they run into long though lost friends and foes that may be allies in disguise if they can move past trusting each other. New tasks and trials for the anchoress to face to determine if she is worthy to possess other elemental items will lead to more death and self discovery. The anchoress must face the darkness within herself and open herself to feelings that she has suppressed for far too long. Can she trust her team and a prince to keep his word and finish the mission? This is definitely another journey that you should take with Van and her team, filled with battles and tribulations and new characters you;ll either love or hate. Either way the only regret you’ll have is if you don’t pick up and read this book, it is that good!

Armillei – Review by Vanessa Watts
I had high hopes for this third book after devouring the first two in one sitting and Ms. Armillei did not disappoint. We start back out with the Jaychund games which should be a slam dunk thanks in part to Vanessa being the anchoress. Yet when an outside player enters the games everything is up in the air, leaving her to guess what scheme is in play.
Vanessa along with her team is sent on another mission for the elders, but this time she needs to check the third seal to verify for sure it is not cracked. With her powers on the fritz and deep in enemy territory she breaks a Balish rule and is thrust into their own games. With old enemies that are still alive, a virus turning people into demons, a cloaked assassin, and a royal prince she hasn’t heard from in ages, Vanessa learns more about herself and suddenly the reason for this mission is uncertain. Can Vanessa get her anchoress powers under control in time to ensure herself and her team make it out of this mission alive? Is she any closer to finding out who the spy might be in her own tribe? Romance, battle, and games that are reminiscent of the hunger games, what more could you want in a fantasy book!

Armillei – Review by Vanessa Watts
This book starts our journey with the anchoress and eventually discovery of herself and why she was created. I had a hard time putting this book down from the description of the characters to the scenery and the plot. It hooked me from line one.
We start off meeting Vanessa as she is struggling with who she is as a 15 year old girl in a wealthy family but not knowing her own path. She faces the typical bullies in school and yet favoritism by elders on the island. When all of a sudden her world is upended by the disappearance of her father, the elder’s belief that he is a traitor, and new information about why Vanessa attends certain special classes on the reservation. Vanessa is then selected to partake in a project, read mission, that she refuses to go on without her best friend Paley. Through breaking rules Vanessa manages to get Paley to the alternate world where they are discovered by the elder and sent on a mission that will forever change the course of Vanessa’s life. This journey is fraught with danger, unknown enemies and self discoveries. Can Vanessa uncover her ture mission or is she doomed to risk her friend’s life in an escapade that ends in failure? This is one journey you must take after all not everything is what it seems!

What a brilliant follow up to Book 1. This book picks up straight after the first and it felt like a seamless transition from the author. Even though I didn’t read this book immediately the story didn’t lose any momentum. The story still felt original and exciting to read. It felt like the book was really developing all the way through. It was so easy to connect with. This really is a fantastic book and I cannot wait for whatever it next.

Abbey isn’t ordinary, not even close. Ghosts are drawn to her like she’s some sort of a spook magnet—but it’s not as glamorous as it sounds. Dead people suck and have cost her many close friends. Yet it gets worse. Something bad followed Abbey home from the circus. And now dead clowns are at her new high school, and friends have gone missing. Her unique abilities could help, but they also could be the reason for the clown apocalypse. Surviving high school just got tougher.
I really enjoyed this book! I was able to fall in love with some characters and my disdain for others grew, a perfect balance for a book in my opinion. Their growth and development from the previous two books is great.
After losing the Jaychund Games, Van finds herself and her friends on a mission in Balish territory. Not her ideal placement for the summer unless you consider Van’s would-be boyfriend is the Balish Crown Prince. She and her group must figure out the mystery of the third seal and return home. Not an easy task when trouble seems to lurk around every corner!
So much action and adventure to this book. I look forward to future installments.

This is the second book in the Anchoress series and it was so good! Van definitely grew on me and she is becoming a strong young woman. Her best friend Paley still gets on my nerves. The rest of her crew is amazing as always and we get to meet new characters. I am excited to see more about them in the last book. Give this series a chance you won’t regret it!

Helms of Awe is the third book in the Anchoress series. Van is your typical teenage girl trying to survive highschool with ex boyfriends, new crushes, friends oh and magical powers. Forced into a dangerous competition that has the odds stacked against her, Van also has to handle her malfunctioning powers. With unknown enemies wanting her dead she has to survive while trying to figure out who to trust. A great story that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning and constantly guessing what’s next.

First off let me say that I have never read anything so unique as this story. I was hooked instantly. Both Miriam and Seth are fighting similar battles on opposite sides of the war. Do they follow their hearts? Is what they believe in the right thing? Will Seth save his sister? The smooth incorporation of magic and folklore is astounding, and talk about a cliff hanger

Just like book 1, I couldn’t put this one down. Every single page kept me wanting more. Seth’s journey continues to amaze me. I cannot wait to see what the next installment holds for the Guardians and the Jones’. I want to say so much more but I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone. If you are on the fence please give this book series a try. Side note, the cover art is simple yet beautiful.

Such a fantastic book, kinda like hunger games a little bit. I really enjoyed it, Van is back and ready to handle more action and conquer more than before while still proving herself. Definitely worth reading but read the first two books in the series first.

Armillei – Review by Kristine Solano-Witucky
As this, the second book in the series, picks up right where the first one left off, we find Seth in a struggle between his love for Miriam and his love for his dying sister. He feels likes he has to choose one or the other and that there isn’t an option to have both. Will he make the right choice or betray the love that could last a lifetime? In the meantime, Peter- Miriam’s brother, finds himself thrust into his Nature and ends up playing a vital role in the continued struggle with the Joneses. Will it be enough to stem the tide of the Joneses advances?
I am thoroughly enjoying this series! I love the author’s take on the Garden of Eden and its protectors. Her character’s struggles with each other in how they relate (parents to kids, kids to kids…) is very relatable. In this book there is a lot of forgiveness going on and what it looks like to forgive someone who has wronged you or a loved one. Admittedly, there were several chapters in this book that I became teary eyed!
I look forward to the third book! I need to know how everything goes!

A long-awaited book 2 is finally here! We catch up with the Edenians right where book 1 left off, where Seth is desperately hoping for a cure for his dying sister Lillian. He struggles to make a choice between betraying the girl he loves, and saving his little sister from certain death. You can really feel how this choice weighs on him, as he tries to be a man and protect the people he loves. I felt so much compassion for him and his struggles, and the cascading effects that his unfortunate decision creates. Lots of action in this book, it is definitely a page-turner. Pocock is fantastic at hooking in the reader, and creating realistic, layered, interesting characters to root for (or loathe!)
Definitely read Book 1 first – it’s well worth it and a great read. It had been several months for me between books, and it took me a bit to reorient myself to the characters and plot from Guardians of the Garden.

The is quite the story! Filled with action, suspense and intrigue. The characters have depth and continue to grow through the story. This author has a great imagination! I love this world she created and the phenomenal creatures. Its almost future world meets past. I just never really knew what is going to happen from page to page.
This is the third in the series. I highly recommend starting at the beginning. I look forward to more adventures from this crew and this author.

Seth is well known for his work he’s know of thier past and who they tried to swindle and what’s they done. So he made a deal before he met Miraim his life has changed since then. There alot of internal struggles amongst the Garudains in this action packed exhilarating adventure. Great read.

A great mystery that will keep you guessing. Once you get started it’s hard to stop. The author did a great job both with the characters and the mystery. Loved it.
This is the second book in the Guardians of the Garden series. I would really recommend reading the books from the beginning to help you appreciate the characters even more. This is a great fantasy adventure. There is romance, secrets, betrayal and a battle between doing what’s right and doing what’s wrong.
We are back with Seth. Seth is secretly working with the Joneses to get access to Edenia. He is doing this to get help for his very ill sister. However this time the payment they want is in the form of Miriam. Seth had finally found a connection with someone and now he has to choose to betrayal her to save his sister or let his sister suffer with her illness. Fighting a constant battle between his heart and his head Seth is set on a path which may end up destroying him. Miriam has never left Edenia. She is finally finding she had a place and a voice in this town now. However her attraction and connection with Seth makes her trust him completely. She never thinks he would betray her to her enemy. With Seth fighting this battle will Miriam be able to help him or will she lose him? With her beliefs being shaken about the masters and his plan for her we find Miriam starting to rebel and follow her heart instead of her instincts.
The author does an amazing job of giving the characters their own identities and story’s but somehow skillfully wrapping them and joining them together to make a story full of twists and turns which will grip you from the beginning.

This Fantasy story is the 3rd book in the Anchoress series & I recommend reading these in order to get the very best reading experience & the previous books are just as good! I thought this book was well written and I liked the authors writing style throughout the series. It was interesting from start to finish and I enjoyed reading about Van and everything that happened in her story! I’m looking forward to reading more by this author in the future! Happy Reading!

This is book 3 in a YA fantasy series. The author does a wonderful job drawing you into the story right away and keeping you engaged. She keeps you on edge several times and are you serious with the bestie and the ex!?! I will definitely be going back to book 1 and 2 to find what I missed in the first two!

L. Armillei review by Nichole Chrisman
I did not know what to expect when diving into this story…but it sure had a way to keep my attention from beginning to end.
Celeste has grown up in Collimais, working at the family’s inn. However, she wanted more than owning the inn someday in the future. She had a a dream of leaving Collimais, chasing her own dreams, and making her own decisions about her future. She did not want to be confined to the traditional ways of businesses being passed down through generations and marriages being arranged. When an opportunity arises for her to leave and head into the city for schooling, she finds a way to make it happen (even when everyone around her is telling her “no”). But, while she’s away, she is learning about a world that is so different than her own, falling in love, and being reminded of the reasons her foothills upbringing is being threatened by those in the city. When she visits home after a year, and to escape the stressors at school, she finds that maybe the way she viewed the confines of her home-life were not as stifling as she once thought. But, when one of her family members is attacked, she sees the danger that the city people pose. What will she do after graduation? Should she find a job in the city or return to the foothills?
This is a story of the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…just different. People are always searching for something more…something better…but sometimes that doesn’t exist. I enjoyed Celeste’s desire and pursuit of finding herself. I also enjoyed her learning and acceptance that life, and people, aren’t better away from home. It was an interesting story that I enjoyed reading.

Beautiful energetic Celeste wants so much more than to work in the family business. She wants adventure, and her parents want her where she is. What a hard decision for Celeste. She is 17 and thinks she knows best. OK not really, she just wants more than the Family Inn offers. She takes a trip out of the country and into the city. Where she finds life to be much more than she expected, and not in a good way. This “new to me,” author writes a story to interest the YA readers. Her story is fast paced and keeps the reader interested. The characters are strong and experience many emotions which keeps you the reader reading. I enjoyed reading the story and look forward to reading the series. Bring on the next exciting read. Review@Cinful

Tavormina – Review by Cindy Mayberry
This book was a really enjoyable, thought provoking read. I felt such strong emotions of our lead character Celeste. The journey she goes through in this story is amazing and very inspiring. Celeste has grown up in the foothills. Always living in the quiet country she longs for an exciting life in the city. She doesn’t want to be married to a person her parents choose, or be running their Inn. She doesn’t understand why her parents are so over protective of her.

Tavormina – Review by Kerry Carr
Seven Strengths: A Tale From Turaset is the prequel to The Industrial Age Trilogy by P.L Tavormina. Ms. Tavormina is a new-to-me author, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into this story. But the premise intrigued me enough to want to grab a copy and dive right in. What I discovered is a futuristic coming of age story set in another world. It is a YA sci-fi story with a bit a dystopian feel to it. With challenges, danger, hidden agendas, politics, greed, good vs evil, family, ‘abilities’, and some drama- we end up with an interesting story that really gave me pause for thought. Celeste couldn’t wait to ‘escape’ her boring and predictable life- but she certainly wasn’t prepared for what would happen. The excitement she was yearning for didn’t involve quite so much danger and drama. Nothing is quite what it seems, as Celeste faces a ruthless adversary who will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Interesting premise. Happy reading!
