This is my first book by Theresa Pocock. This is a story of guardians of the garden of Eden. It’s amazing. Couldn’t put it down. This will not be my last book by Theresa. I JUST finished this book and can’t WAIT for the next one. I’m addicted! This book has a lot of supporting cast that are important but not enough space to write about in my review so just know- all the characters are important. The main ones in this story are Miriam and Seth. Miriam lives in Edenia and has rules to live by as a Guardian. Seth is a “normal” boy whose parents drag him and his sisters to Edenia. Their story is incredible!

Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1) by Kristen Lindsay Hager is a sweet and light young adult story about coming of age, falling in love for the first time, navigating through the plethora of emotions attached to growing up and giving your heart to another. Discovering your soulmate is a major part of your life and Cecily and Andrew’s journey is memorable and heartwarming. A girl who finds herself thrown into the path of her first crush is a dream come true, and reading their story was a nice change from the steamy and raunchy stories I love to read. This story was a refreshing step back into the world of first love and all the dramatic emotions involved in that journey. 4 stars.

I enjoyed this young adult story. This is the third story in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous two, they are just as enjoyable and full of fantasy. This story gives childhood characters a new role in new adventures. This is a great story for any young adult that enjoys adventure. In this story of what happens when you pick a rose. Ride Riding Hood teams up with Rapunzel to do battle. They go on another great adventure that will keep you turning pages. I highly recommend this book.

Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn by Rachel Huffmireis a wonderfully original start to a new YA fantasy series. With magic, Jinn/genies, the paranormal, teen struggles, obstacles, friendship, quirky characters, and more- this story made for a fun read. Liam is thrust into a situation/adventure he never could have predicted. When strange things begin to happen, Liam’s life ifs about to change. Genies, magic, and even a little romance were cleverly woven into a great little read.

Hooks Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan by Suzanna Lynn is the first book in the Untold Stories series. This is a unique retelling of a well known story and the author has done a good job of taking the story and creating something new. The author manages to create a vivid picture of everything going on so it really felt like you were there. It would have been nice to see a little more of the dark Captain Hook that you are use to but it was good to see him in a whole new perspective. This was a front start to a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next.

I was very engrossed in this book. Pocock’s fantasy world is immersive, and the cast of characters are excellent. The two main protagonists are both on the cusp of adulthood, beginning to understand what their life has in store for them. Both Seth and Miriam are on a quest for truth and loyalty. The philosophies and limitations of their childhood are being tested, and both question their parent’s wisdom. As the realities of both worlds are at the brink of potential ruin, they are pitted against not just their families, but each other. The excitement increased the more I turned the pages, and I read this one through quickly and eagerly. Any fans of Fantasy or YA will be enthralled. If this is not your normal genre, I would encourage you to give it a go. You won’t be sorry.

This is the second book in The Untold Stories series. This is the story of Red Riding Hood and how she frees Rapunzel from her tower prison. Red is reunited with her friend, Captain Hook, who is looking for magical tools to help him rescue the mermaid princess. Red also befriends Lycos, the white wolf of the Blakx Forest. As secrets are uncovered, they all realize the witch that has taken over Oz has played a part in all their lives. This is another exciting story that weaves together various characters from different fairy tales.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the rest of the series! This was an enchanting spin on the origin story of Captain Hook. Add Red Riding Hood and the Little Mermaid and you have an adventure full of surprises. Hook was not always the despicable pirate he has been made out to be. Setting out to destroy Peter Pan, Hook becomes entangled in a plot to overthrow Atlantis when he saves a mermaid princess.
This book was a very quick read, meaning I couldn’t put it down! I cannot wait to get the second book in The Untold Stories series. This is definitely a series I want to share with my granddaughter.

Fairy tale – check. Mash up of beloved fairy tales – check. Brilliantly merged stories that create a brand new universe of imagery and imagination – triple check. The author does a brilliant job weaving together a tale that felt familiar and original all at the same time. It was brilliant and I loved every page. And now I’m torn as to whether I should immediately reread this book or devour the next in the series. Maybe both!!!!!

This clever tale really captivated me in the first chapter. I like a good YA fantasy and this one had just the right amount of struggle and magic. In the paranormal genre often times we overlook the amazing world of the jinn. I loved how Huffmire explored this through the eyes of a 16 year old boy. Very well written.

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of a new five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and even has several children’s books in the works.
When she’s not busy writing or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to draw and paint, as well as scrapbooking. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even the local zoo!

The World Beyond the Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy (Natural Forces Book 3) by Jean Gill is unfortunately the last book in the trilogy. This YA adventure story has everything that paranormal fantasy enthusiasts will love, magic and shifters, drama and action and danger. Jean’s world-building and unusual, complex and quirky characters make it an interesting and enjoyable read. This intricate and finely woven tale will have you engaged from beginning to end. It is best to start with the first book and work your way through to get the best reader experience so you can fully envelope the world and characters that Jean has given us.

Can Dreams Come True? (Book One of the Cecily Taylor Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager was a really good read! I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t until about the halfway point that I really got into this book. It felt kind of drawn out in a way, but also very naive. Cecily seemed like such a pushover, and very docile I think is the word? I felt like she let things go too far with Zach while he pushed her for the same exact thing. It seemed very toxic to me, and I didn’t enjoy that relationship at all. However, once Cecily started kind of speaking and saying what she actually thought, she became much more likeable. Overall though this was a really good read and I would definitely recommend it as a coming of age story and I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Hooks little mermaid is a new version of the classic tale of Peter pan with a twist a certain sea witch and mermaid are involved. It’s great I loved it. You finally understand why captain Hook and Peter actually have a feud. Captain James Shaw who we come to know as Captain Hook was by far my favourite character he was written so well and you really see him in a different light, you will be pleasantly surprised

This is a young adult story that is a little dark and I loved reading it. This is an author I have loved from the first time I picked up one of her books. I was pulled into the story from the first word. It is a fast paced, well written story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. They made the story easy to read. This is a story about a young girl whose life is just a struggle. She is in search of ways to make her feel less lonely and most of all less pain. She struggles everyday but will she find the light? Will the people who care about her help bring light into her or will the darkness just take over? I loved watching the characters grow throughout the story and what they bring to the story. I am glad I picked up this book and I think you will too. I highly recommend this book and this author.
If you like paranormal fantasy stories, look no further Jean GIll is an amazing author. This is the third book in the series and even though it can be a stand alone book, I highly recommend reading the first two books to have the back knowledge of what is going on and who is who. The plot-line pulled me from the first page of the book until the last word. It has action and adventure around each corner. The characters are unique and complicated. The journey you take with them will keep you on your toes. You need to have eyes in the back of your head to see what is going on behind you as well as in front of you. The imagination of Jean Gill is in full force and I cannot wait to see what she has coming next. I highly recommend this book and the whole series especially if you like fantasy and paranormal stories.

Truly, this is such an exciting series! I loved book 1 so much that I binge read book 2 in a matter of a day! Her ability to interweave fairy tales, stories, and nursery rhymes is so enjoyable! You just never know who you are going to meet next!
The pace of the book kept me reading to find out what happened next, and I was surprised by who was introduced as new characters to continue with Hook’s mission to save the little mermaid. Just when I thought I knew what would happen next, there was an unexpected twist!

Epic-Dystopian is not a genre that I would normally read, but the book cover drew me in when I walked past it on the library shelf. I’m glad that I picked this book up to read as it was filled with many things I do like in books: magic, danger, drama, and great characters. I must admit that the book drew me in from the beginning to the end and I felt like I was on a wild fantasy ride I didn’t want to jump off. The author knows how to use description to truly make you feel like you are in this story. By the end of the book, I felt like I knew the characters personally and that at some point in my lifetime I had met many of them. It is certainly a tale of finding out who your true friends are, and which ones will stab you in the back to overthrow you. Apparently this is the ending of a trilogy written by this author and I have placed the previous two on my library wish list so that I can read the entire collection.

The World Beyond The Walls: epic dystopian eco-fantasy by Jean Gill is the third book in the Natural Forces series. This is the final book in the trilogy and was an brilliant end of the series. This book is easily the best one in the series. I fell back into this story and the characters so easily. This book is every bit as exciting and and intriguing as the previous books and I found that pages basically turned themselves. Once I started reading I just couldn’t stop. The author has created a brilliant fantasy world with such a strong group of friends right at the centre. With everything they have been through already I could not wait to see what this book had in store for them. It was well written and engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book. I would highly recommend this whole series to any fan of the genre.

Guardians of the garden by Theresa Pocock in a story full of magic and love. The magical experience of folklore made it all that more enjoyable.
All it takes is one bite of an apple. Miriam has had enough of guarding immortality. Miriam has been rejected by her family and the other Guardians, and all she wants to do now is abandon Edenia and her weird, intrusive sorcery. She will be free from the greenhouse, free to live her own life, and free to forget that she is a freak in the outside world.As Seth Johnson’s sister’s cancer progresses, their family relocates to the United States in the hopes of saving her. That, however, is not the case. Seth finds himself in Edenia, a small town with parents who seem to have given up. Seth swears to go to any extent to save his sister, even if it means stealing secrets, betraying parents, or putting his own heart at risk.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

The first book I read by this author I remember thinking I was so totally out of my comfort zone that I didn’t know what to expect but now after three book I’m still out of my comfort zone but I know to expect a wonderfully written story that intrigues and piques my imagination throughout. The authors writing is just wonderful she has such an interesting and engaging writing style, her attention to detail is fantastic and it definitely makes my reading experience so much better. There really were some great and unexpected twists and turns in this story, I loved that I didn’t know what was going to happen. This is the third book in the Natural Forced trilogy so I personally would recommend reading them in order. I am very much looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Did you ever wonder what happened to Captain Hook before his encounter with Peter Pan? I know I used to make up stories with my friends about the pirate who is always going after Peter Pan. In this book we read Suzanna Lynn’s version, and I have to admit her story is a lot better than mine. Her plot-line takes the reader back and develops the story behind the pirate. We see the usual character names but with slight differences than what we are used to. I highly recommend this book to see what Hook was like before he was Captain Hook obsessed with Peter Pan.

The world Beyond the Walls is the third and final book in the Natural Forces series by Jean Gill. It is another original and creative YA fantasy adventure story- with magic, shifters, politics, action, drama, danger, environmental themes, good vs evil, tension, interesting quirky characters, and wonderful world-building. There’s also a bit of a dystopian feel to this fantasy story/series which adds another layer of interest to the world. If you haven’t read the other two books yet, I highly recommend that you do, before starting on this one. There are a lot of details and threads which flow through to this book. So knowing what happened in the first two books will definitely enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of this story. As with the previous books, this a wonderfully detailed and descriptive story which has had plenty of thought, skill, heart, and soul put into its creation. Reading was more like ‘watching’ everything unfold, as the imagery was so well crafted. Well worth the read! Looking forward to seeing what Jean Gill does next.
