Even if Seth wanted to, he couldn’t change the plan now. Miriam forced his hand by stealing his memories. But vengeance gets a little more intense than Seth bargained for once the Joneses get involved.

Miriam hopes she will not regret the trust she’s put in Seth because if she loses him, she might just lose her faith.  

Peter senses the Guardians have a bigger task than just keeping Immortality safe from the world, but until he makes peace with his nemesis, he won’t figure out how his unique Nature plays a role.

Genre – Fantasy, YA, Action-Adventure
Cover Designer – Moonstruck Cover Designs/Emma Ryder
At seventeen, Van knows her life is somewhat charmed, rarely feeling the deep bite of injustice, but this is ridiculous. The Jaychund Games—a vital part of senior exams—should’ve been an effortless victory. Instead, the last-minute addition of an off-islander tripped her up. So, losing her temper? Completely justifiable.
Her ex-boyfriend and her best friend are flirting right under her nose, while she hasn’t heard from her crush, Ferox, the Balish crown prince, in ages.
And now Van’s leading her team on a mission deep into Balish-occupied territory—enemy territory—to check the third seal with her powers on the fritz.
Then she breaks one tiny Balish rule, and as punishment, she’s tossed headlong into another round of games. See? Totally unfair.
Old enemies, a deadly virus, royal intrigues, cloaked assassins—and the sudden realization that someone has sent her there for an entirely different reason—
threaten to send her life plan up in flames. If she fails, only the Creator knows if Van and her team will get out of this mess alive.

When Donna (D. L.) was four years old, she wrote a “story” in “cursive” and gave it to her mother to read out loud. Instead, her mother tucked the pages

into a desk drawer and suggested they read her amazing story together, in a few years, after Donna had learned how to read and write.

Now—able to read and write—Donna continues to create amazing stories. She takes readers into immersive fantasy worlds filled with action,

adventure, and a bit of romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was amazing. I wasn’t expecting the way the book was going to go. It really kept me guessing on what was going to happen next. Things just seemed like they weren’t going the right way for Adrijana and just when you think it starts to get better, something else happens to her. A girl learning about what happened to her in the past and then trying to figure it all out on her own. I couldn’t put it down and really enjoyed reading about Adrijana learning everything she is and what she can do. I really hope there is going to be more to her story.

This was an excellent read. This book is full of mystery, intrigue, fantasy, secrets, danger, romance, twists and turns and so much more. I was pulled in from the start and couldn’t put it down until I got to the end.

This is a coming-of-age a Sci Fi dystopian novella and is the prequel to The Industrial Age trilogy. It is a futuristic tale set on other planets. It soon becomes known that not all is as it seems. Climate change crisis, pollution and technology cause damage and large corporations are out for themselves. To that end they will hunt those who have different abilities that may hinder their desired outcome. It is a dangerous enemy and one who will stop at nothing to win. Drama, political agendas, struggles, science, genetic modifications, greed and fortune are all things that this tale has that make it thought provoking.

I really loved the writing of this book, and how things had flowed out. I was hooked into the whole story line and how things went by. It was well done, and the writing and the characters flowed very nicely. I was very impressed, and the story kept me very interested as I read.

Celeste was a main contribute to the story in my eyes. I loved her mind and how she really thought and saw the word. She was your normal teenager I found in a small way , she wanted more than she had going on in her life What she was ca[able of though, I found very intriguing I found. I enjoyed the excitement and the suspense as I read through, it had a lot of moments you weren’t sure where things would lead to next. The side characters really added to the story line as well, everyone was easy to love, except maybe those who meant hard. But they still made the story what it was! Loved it!

Wonderful and intriguing story from start to finish. i could not ask for a concept of writing that was better. I defiantly am going to be looking up more books by this wonderful author. I highly recommend this book, I truly believe it is one that will be enjoyed by all. Has a bit of everything.

Celeste is set to inherit her family’s hotel, which she doesn’t want, in this dystopian story. There is danger ahead as she sets off to the city thinking she will find more. This is a well-written tale that makes you go hmm…her family has a genetic oddity in the DNA that can sense carbon footprints and the bad guy wants them dead. That makes for an exciting thrill. Celeste has a few adventures and meets some unique personalities along the way. They are well-developed and quirky. She’s a newer author to me and this is a prequel novella. I will be reading the next in the series. I love the concept. I enjoyed the book. If you enjoy YA books, dystopian books or just plain reading, give this a shot. It’s a quick read. I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I believe I may have found my new favorite author!

This incredible tale surrounds the struggle experienced by a naive but brilliant young lady, Adrijana once she visits the Adrjssian court. Within the first few chapters, we soon learn that a killer is amongst them. Multiple characters exude confidence and charisma, but the question they must answer is, who is trustworthy?

I found this book to be incredibly well written and exceedingly easy to read. I loved how the author allowed the story to build while watching the young Adrijana attempt to deal with constant trials and conflicting emotions with a very sheltered upbringing. On top of this, we become enveloped in the construction of her new life as an inexperienced Mesmerist. The different factions are very mysterious after learning of a small portion of what makes them tick, so I look forward to reading more by the author if/when she creates more titles that will dive deeper into each, especially the unsympathetic Vruk clan.

The hunt for the genuine assassin proves to be quite complex. While Adrijana is learning as she goes, I think the lessons learned within this story will help build her character for more story lines in the future.

I have absolutely nothing to say that I disliked about this book, as I found it very entertaining and I embraced the plot immediately.

Overall, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a story of a young, farm girl who goes to court. There she learns something special about herself, she is a Mesmer. She can read people’s emotions by seeing their oras. Soon after she arrives, the queen is murdered. As more people continue to die, Adrijana works with the other Mesmers to find the killer.
Opinion
This book is a must read for young adult fans. Not only is it a must read, it should be put at the top of your TBR pile. I was consumed by this story. Every twist and turn made me think about who was the guilty person. The clues are laid out so well that they are easy to overlook. This book was an absolute joy to read.

I enjoyed this shorter story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. Celeste is a great, strong, teenager who really just wanted some excitement in her life. What happens when she finds a small village and the townspeople are willing to show her more than she ever realized. When she realizes that she may be out of depth in this small village, what will she do? I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. I also enjoyed how connectable and supportive she was as well as the other characters. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story which added to the story. This is a well written story that was both entertaining and easy to read. It is a great pick up. I highly recommend this book.

This book was SO GOOD! The author did a really good job in weaving this fantasy crime novel, while making it fun, engaging and hard to put down! I was drawn at first to this cover, it’s absolutely gorgeous, and honestly wasnt sure what to expect but I definitely wasn’t disappointed! The characters were very well written and had a ton of depth to them. They (and the storyline itself) were engaging and I felt like I was right there in the book with them. I have read books from this author before, but this one was so different I was shocked! It felt like reading a completely new author. This book wasn’t disappointing and I highly recommend it!

Adrijana longs for more out of life. She accepts an invitation for her and her father to stay for a celebration thinking this is the opening she has been seeking. However, she quickly learns that life is not always as it seems. Her world comes crashing down around her when she finds out her father has kept her true heritage from her since she was five years old. She has to come to grips quickly with who she is as the royal family is being murdered one by one. In a world of intrigue, secrets, and hidden agendas, Adrijana has to learn quickly who she can trust and who she cannot before it is too late! Can she learn everything about being a mesmerist fast enough to find the true killer? Or will the killer succeed in taking out the royal family?

This is my first time reading this author and I was not disappointed! The story drew me in immediately and I didn’t want to put it down. There were strange things happening to her and I HAD to know what was going on. I was drawn in by Adrijana’s vulnerability and her emotions throughout the story. The lessons she learns are hard ones, but she refuses to roll over and give up. All the characters were intriguing, and the storyline kept me guessing until the end! I hope there will be more books in this world!

It combined the flare of fantasy that has become popular with just the right amount of mystery that keeps the reader interested. The characters are easy to love and you find yourself rooting for Andrijana. You can’t help yourself from wanting to see her win.

The Mesmerist was a great fantasy mystery read. The world building was fantastic, from the magic all the way to the country the story is set in. Jana was a well written protagonist, she gets thrown right into the thick of it quick into the book after the Queen was killed. She doesn’t have much time to think before she go into solving mode. Throughout the story, clues were introduced perfectly, just enough to keep you on the “who dun it” trail. I was continuously shocked and left wanting more at the end of each page. Jana is tested with truth, confidence, love, lust, lies and friendship throughout the book. The books leaves you satisfied with he resolution but leaves just enough open to allow for other books if decided. I would LOVE to have more books from this world and these characters.

Great book! If you are looking for fantasy, adventure, heartbreak, as well as twists and turns along the way, this book is for you! I have always loved fantasy novels and in the past few years have found a new interest in mystery both of which were so wonderfully written in this book. The characters are mainly young adults, but the plotline is so intriguing, readers of any age would enjoy this! The characters are realistic and likable, but just like people, they all have their issues and learn how to cope with them throughout the book.

I enjoyed walking through this world with Adrijana. I feel like we were on an adventure with her since she was learning everything along with us. I enjoyed this new world, but most of all I was caught up with the characters. The mystery and intrigue surrounding the characters definitely ramps up the plot because you don’t know who you can trust. I’m not sure if who appears to be a friend is actually a friend which is so realistic. I could not put this book down because I had to know what was going to happen. This is not a predictable story. Beautiful world, great characters, and unpredictable plot.

This story will keep you on your toes and the author does a fantastic job bringing you into this world. You are drawn to the suspense of who is targeting the royal family and can Adrijana figure out what is happening.

She quickly finds more than she bargained for. She is accused of murdering the queen and finds out her past has been a lie.

I generally enjoyed this coming-of-age fantasy/mystery. The world-building was great, there were elements of mystery that made the novel more suspenseful, and I liked the main character Adrijana. Although this is marketed as young adult, I think it should be noted that there is a sexual assault and it seemed to just serve the plot. Anyhow, Adrijana is a strong, complex character who develops immensely throughout the novel, and I just really didn’t know who to trust. Read this if you like a lot of intense intrigue and political machinations.

I am an avid reader and I absolutely love fantasy books, but this is easily one of the best ones I have read. The Mesmerist takes place in a fantasy world that is beautifully created in the first few chapters of the book while introducing a diverse cast of characters. Jana, the main character, is loveable and complex in a way that I could connect with. I connected with her sense of adventure and wanting to explore the bigger world around her rather than just her family farm. I found myself trying to solve the mystery that surrounded her, but I also enjoyed the other aspects of the story. One of the things that I enjoy most about fantasy books is the ability to escape, and The Mesmerist definitely allowed me an escape from daily life. Once I started it, I had a difficult time putting it down!

This was my first book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last! I plan on reading her previous books and I am hoping for a sequel to this one! I absolutely recommend this book for both young adults and older. It is a beautiful story in a world that I hope we see again!

I was not disappointed at all. This book is full of adventure. Around every curve, there is something else to surprise me. The characters are complex and fully developed. This story is about the Royal family and the trouble they are in. Adrijana is the village girl who gains access to the court when the queen was pushed to her death. She has a lot on her plate and she is trying to mount an investigation and she needs to do it quickly. I highly recommend this book to see what happens to Adrijana and her investigation.
