I really enjoyed this novel by Pauline Gruber. The Girl and the Raven included love, adventure, intrigue, witches and demons, all favorites of mine. The start of Lucy’s journey to uncovering who she is and where she fits in the world was a joy to read. Pauline Gruber has created a vibrant world and I found myself unable to put the book down. I look forward to reading the next installment from Pauline Gruber.

This was a super enjoyable read, there is nothing better than a fierce no nonsense female lead. Especially when you throw in a bunch of misfits that have to figure out how to work together! The chemistry was great, I loved Alenas character so much, after everything she went through as a child and then being trained under the Guild of thieves and assassins?! This book had great world building, relatable characters and an adventure that doesn’t stop. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the books go! This was the first book I have read by Martin Ferguson and I’m ready for more.

The Forsaken: Wraith was my first book by Martin Ferguson and I was very impressed! The story really came alive for me and I found myself excited to see what would happen next.
Alena (Slayer), having lost her family and home at a young age, is raised and trained by the Guild. Training to be either Savior, Slayer, Assassin or Thief, Alena passed her trial earning herself a position in the Guild as Slayer. Given her first assignment, she rounds up a team of unlikely misfits. They are faced with danger and evils. I don’t know how you would be able to resist getting sucked into the story!
This book was a quick read and I am so happy that I was able to experience it! It was a page turner for me and now I impatiently wait for book 2!

Right away this story grabs your attention with our main character. Lucy is just a 16 year old trying to cope with her life.
She is then thrown into a turmoil. As she ends up living with her great uncles, she learns she is not of this world. Which she already had a clue to.
This story had wonderful fantasy elements to it that I don’t believe we see often enough. It wasn’t all fairies and mortals. No, it was something much different. I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this series. And would recommend it to anyone who truly loves a fresh feel to a Young Adult series.

The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson is a book that draws you into the fantasy world written in its pages. Alena’s world is upturned at the loss of everything she was born to; her family, her home and her name. From one life into another she is raised by The Guild, but must face a trial alone to become a true member. Sent out to find her place she returns victorious as a Slayer. She is then sent out on an adventure which places her in the service of the Scared. With determination and a drive to not fail she sets out on her quest with a unique group of individuals. A journey with unexpected twists, danger, monsters, and evil. It was a page turning story that kept me wanting to know what would happen next. I could not put the book down. This is the first book of the Hidden Realms of Centuros series and I cannot wait for the next book.

A very well written book that draws you in quickly from the beginning and has you wondering what will happen next. Very entertaining and enjoyable read, with amazing interesting characters the dynamics and the adventure this story takes you down. The magical elements and plot are just as enticing, a page turner from beginning to end. I can’t wait for the next installment of Wraith’s journey and to see how the path develops and I really couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining read!

A brilliant series starter. What a fantastic world Martin Ferguson has created. I devoured this book and can’t wait to delve into the next. Wonderful characters (loved Alena), excellent world building and faultless execution makes this a series not to missed. The author takes us on an epic journey that brings together the band of misfits ready for the next instalment, which I eagerly await.

This is a fun adventure fantasy book for all ages. I loved the fast-paced action and the menagerie of Dream Catchers and Prestoria creatures. The writing was very accessible, and the plot exciting and imaginative. Radhika is a great heroine – smart, creative, and talented. Following these teens on their challenges was a great time. Definitely give this one a go!

U. Menon – Review by Erica Shoebridge
First time reading this author and I loved it! I thought the world building was well written and felt like this book is setting up for an epic series!
I love a great fantasy book with a strong female character that has the influence of becoming great by a strong male character. I enjoyed how she picked a band of misfits and built a team out of the ones you didn’t necessarily see as being a good group together! All the characters were well rounded with just enough mystery to some of them that it kept you guessing as to what could be their story. While only a couple of characters are explained, others are left with an open ending to carry on the story!
All in all… a very quick, enjoyable read. Can’t wait to read more in this world!

Prestoria, a land of nightmares. Will you be chosen to play in this secret game of revenge? Radhika Varma and 11 others were chosen to play in this game. Not all is as it seems. Treachery, jealousy, revenge with also friendship make for a book full of adventure that will have any young adult on the edge of their seat reading. Radhika will learn that she has the courage within her to overcome any challenges thrown at her. The characters such as Derek, Vivienne and Leonara are written to feel so much like your typical teen that you can feel what they are feeling. The whole plot of the challenge in the land of nightmares is intense and action packed. Highly recommend.

Great YA paranormal story! Lucy is an interesting character who really grows throughout the book. Lucy is dropped into a world unfamiliar to her. It is fun seeing the supernatural through her eyes. This was enjoyable to read. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

I knew I had to read this book. I love fantasy and yes I play World of Warcraft as well as Dungeons and Dragons and Magic The Gathering. Personally I saw the cover, and I instantly thought it resembled one of my characters on WoW! Fantasy books truly make me feel like I can be myself. So this was an easy question, pick the book up, gather my horse, and bag of coins/money and prepare for the adventure that awaited at sunrise!
I have a lot of fantasy novels in my life time thus far, but this one was one that completely entranced me and kept me reading. I loved the story line and the fine details made. Plus the lead character Alena, was a super awesome character. She was strong, fierce in fulling the things she must do, and even when things did not go her way or proved to be a challenge, she never one gave up. She used all her inner skill and strength to keep going. She was very admirable and seriously I was rooting for Alena in my head especially in a scene that involved a Siren.
Again, the fine details and the adventure it self truly sucked me in a positive way. I was captivated by the journey Alena had to undertake I believe she always knew her path was set for her When she was younger, she lost everything and everyone. Well, not everyone except for her dear uncle. Because of him she survived a terrible night where everything she loved was taken from the palm of her hand, I truly believe this event itself helped shape and grow her into the woman she became. It gave her strength and power as well as self will that she may have had to seek longer to game perhaps?
As story progression develops, she must find her place and gain acceptance in The Guild. To be accepted she must beat impossible odds. and I will say she does that again and again!
As I drew near to the end of this book, I knew this would not be an end for me reading adventures of Alena and her Guild. Me being the WoW player I am, I can envision myself and the characters I met and got to know, a light nod to one another as we ride horses separate ways till we met again and I read the next books in the series.
This was my first read by the author. Seriously though was I asleep for a 1,000 years? I found out they had written books and I am not very much in need to read them. The writing was very well done with the descriptions and the fine detail as I have mentioned.
Loved this and this made my inner geek heart very happy! Thank you to this awesome author!!

The Dream Catchers (Prestoria) by J. U. Menon is everything that I hoped for. J.U. Menon transfers from reality to dreams so flawlessly that you’ll find yourself quickly flipping the pages to see what happens next. Her characters are fabulous and she fills her pages with imagination, beauty, loyalty, bravery, and more. This book caught my attention right away with its cover and synopsis and once I started the book I couldn’t put it down. Part of what I love about books is being able to get lost in the pages and J. U. Menon definitely dragged me into her world and left me wanting more.

The Dream Catchers by J.U. Me on is the first book in the Prestoria Series. This is a great YA story that is action packed. As a new author to me I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. It sounded exciting and the author really delivered on that. There was a lot going on in the book but it never felt overdone or too much. The author got the balance right when it came to keeping your interest but also holding back where needed. This story is appealing to more than just the YA audience. It draws on myth and folklore which I think made to more realistic. This really is a great book and I am looking forward to book 2.

Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King is a wonderfully written young adult paranormal novel. This novel is set in an academy for Grave Diggers. What is a Grave Digger? They are the people that keep the dead in the grave from rising up. While some of the characters in this novel say that there is no need for Grave Diggers, they are proven wrong. Follow a young witch with more power than she knows along with her friends in a wonderful story. C.A. King has become one of my favorite young adult authors. While this novel is more toward young adults, adults can read it too and still get a sense of what is going on in the novel. I can’t wait to one click the next novel.

The Girl and the Raven tells the story of Lucy, a teen who has no idea who she really is…until her mother passes away and she is sent to live with her uncles. When she learns the truth about her family, and herself, Lucy is thrown into a world she never imagined could be real.
This Young Adult novel was great. The writing is superb. I am usually not a reader who enjoys stories that switch between multiple points of view, but this one was done so seamlessly that it never once was an issue. The characters are fantastic and the danger is real–the twists and turns just keep coming! Great first novel for the series and I can’t wait to read more!

As a lover of fantasy and young adult books, I found this first book in The Forsaken series by Martin Ferguson to be fascinating. The characters are well thought out and their identities and capabilities are shared with the reader opening up to a new world of fantasy.
Alena Athscar loses everything that is precious to her as a young girl. Everything except her relationship with her uncle. Galloping away into the night, they escaped the death and destruction of Arnhold.
As a young woman, Alena, now an apprentice, sets off to complete her trial. She must complete it alone and return with a prize and coin. After choosing the path less traveled, she ends up in Folado’s Fortune Inn where an opportunity to complete her trial presents itself. She completes her trial and slays a siren.
Now a full member of the Guild, the Slayer, her new title, gets an unforeseen opportunity to work for The Sacred in the recovery of one of their Increments. Travel to Stonemere leads the Slayer and her band of reinforcers to a discovery of pure evil. Can the Slayer and her companions stop the evil before it completes its destruction of the town?

This book GRIPPED ME right away. It wasn’t something I wanted to put down. It is an action packed fantasy that doesn’t stop. We follow our ruthless woman protagonist and she means business.
Alena and her team of assembled characters including a dwarf and an elf are all in for this adventure. From start to finish I needed to know what was happening and it was truly a wonderful adventure! I CANNOT wait for the next!!!

I enjoyed this young adult story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed how they used details to make the story feel realistic. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. This is a great story that any young adult would enjoy. It is full of adventure and the characters kept the story engaging. This is a story about Radhika and her adventures when she participates in a challenge in the land of nightmares. Things are not always as they seem here and she is left using her imagination to fight for her life. This is a great fantasy story and certainly will take you on an adventure. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

This book was completely outside my normal genre of reading. I have to say, though, I was quite impressed with the writing, the characters, the feelings, and the overall storyline itself. Martin Ferguson did a fantastic job creating a new world of characters for us to dive into and love. Our main character, Alena, goes through an extremely traumatizing experience as a child. We learn about it rather quickly and then jump into the story years later after the Guild has raised her. She is fierce, determined, and has an air of mystery that I am looking forward to learning more about in the upcoming books of this series. There is a piece of her history that is missing, and I’m assuming that was on purpose to keep us hooked – well, it WORKED! I am ready for the next installment and cannot wait to see more from this author.

The Dream Catchers by J.U. Menon is the first book in the PRESTORIA Series. But this older children’s tale is an adventure, filled with thrills and spills, mystery and fun and filled with stuff that nightmares are made of. JU has crafted a narrative that is imaginative and delightful and easily imagined. JU has written a story enmeshed with Indian myths and folklore along with messages of family values and friendship.
Grab a copy and follow along with Radhika and the Dream Catchers to uncover the mystery before the dawn.

The Forsaken: Wraith is the first book in the Hidden Realms of Centuros series by Martin Ferguson. I was excited to see that not only had Mr. Ferguson released a new book, but it was also the start of a new series. I loved his previous series, so I was keen to see where this would take us. And I wasn’t disappointed! This is a young adult fantasy with action, adventure, trained assassins, a guild of thieves, fantastic world building, and much more. Alena has been through a lot- losing her family and everything she ever knew, her life becomes one of secrets and intensive training under the Guild of Thieves and Assassins. She emerges much later as a fully trained slayer. And so her adventure begins. With hidden agendas, danger, secrets to hold, and monsters to face- she will have to embrace all her training and keep her wits about her in order to face the odds. With this first book things are definitely shaping up to be a superb series! I absolutely love the cover on this book, and I am looking forward to seeing what book two has in store for us.

This book has all the makings of a wonderful YA paranormal story! Lucy has had a life riddled with unfair circumstances and the author does a great job of reeling you in from the first sentence. I loved the watching her as she grew from a young girl unsure of herself into a young woman who knew what was truly important. She deals with the same things all teen girls deal with but there is a twist…she isn’t human. This story is filled with the supernatural and keeps you wondering what will happen in the end. It can get slow at times but towards the end picks back up and reels you in! It has love, heartbreaks, witches, demons, and more!

The Forsaken: Wraith by Martin Ferguson is an intriguing YA fantasy paranormal story. I really enjoyed Martin’s debut series, Relic Hunters and was excited to see what The Forsaken was all about. Martin never fails to deliver an action-packed tale with plenty of danger and thrills, and mystery. This is an adventure that is addictive and has all the ingredients that make for a good read and the pages turning. This is an exciting new world and characters.
Alena was hidden away to save her. She is the very thing that she is employed to hunt. She is the very thing she can never reveal. She is the very thing she must keep hidden.
I look forward to seeing what Martin gives us next.

RADHIKA VARMA has an overactive imagination – everyone says so. But when she is chosen to participate in a Challenge held in Prestoria – the land of nightmares, she must use every bit of wild imagination she possesses to fight for her life. As one of eleven Dream Catchers and armed only with her imagination, Radhika must conjure her own weaponry against powerful ancient creatures like the Vyalas and the Rakshasas, and get to the magical portal before dawn. Fail to do so, and she will be forced to stay behind in Prestoria forever.
But when she is suspected of attacking the other Dream Catchers, Radhika realizes that there is more going on than meets the eye.

The Girl and the Raven is a delightful tale of a girl that wants a less complicated life. Her personal struggles with herself and the life she left in Tennessee are described so accurately that you can feel her ups and downs as she meets new people in Chicago. Pauline Gerber created a plot that ignites a reader’s imagination with all the nuances of Lucy’s life in Chicago. What a great storyline to build a series off of!
Lucy is hopeless when her mother, an alcoholic and a drug addict, is dropped off in front of their trailer in Tennessee dead. Lucky for her, she has two loving uncles that live in Chicago. She craves a life where things are normal.
On arriving in Chicago, she runs into a man who sends electric shocks into her fingers. Not exactly what she was hoping for. At her uncles’ three flat, her upstairs neighbor is a teenage hunk! Marcus, the hunk, becomes her protector; only Lucy doesn’t know why she’s being protected.
Circumstances change quickly. Lucy learns about a world of witches, demons, and half-demons. Things that she has never heard of in her life. A lot of decisions must be made quickly. Will Lucy choose the path to her destiny? Will her decisions keep those she loves safe?
