Finding Leda
The Science of Happiness
Italian College Novel 1
The Italian Saga
By Gaia B Amman
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
A must read for the Young Adults!

This is a Young Adult story that takes you into Leda’s college years. Who she meets, what she is interested in and who she hangs out with. Her friends are from all walks of life. She enjoys college, and time with her friends. She touches on her favorite subjects, Band, Volleyball and Genetic Engineering. Followed by dating. She also is learning to live on her own and working her way through college. She has no time for ignorant people. But… Can she resist Sergio and his antics?

Gaia B Amman just keeps her story going. I love her characters and who they are. Leda is your typical college student, someone you can relate too. That is why this series is such a great book for young adults. They will find they are not alone in their struggles of growing into adulthood. This story will have you laughing one minute and angry for Leda the next. While this is in a series, it can be read as a standalone. You will not want to miss out on her adventures. Well done Gaia B Amman!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman is another wonderfully written novel. As with her other novels, this one flowed right from the last novel, but can be read on it’s own as well. I love how the author is able to pack such raw, beautiful, and real emotions into her characters. While reading this story I couldn’t help but think back to my own college days as I read of Leda’s college experience. There are so many ways I could relate to Leda, through her uncertainties, her willingness to find happiness, her drive to succeed in college, her unsure love life. It was such a beautiful story to read and I look forward to reading more books by this author and in this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I give Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland, 4 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

This is the second book in the YA dystopian series. It picks up where book one left off and is full of adventure, action, heartbreak, and basically just learning to survive. Yes there is a main goal and they are working towards it, but in this new world, everything takes time. The timing of this book being released right now makes it feel all the more like this could really happen. It brings things into a perspective I did not have when I read book one.

A very well-written story, this book pulls you right in and is interesting from beginning to end. There is so much going on in this book. The characters are great too. You have ones that are back from book one, as well as new characters you will come to love.

Since this continues the story from book one, I do recommend reading the first book before you delve into this one. However, this is a great dystopian story and I definitely recommend both books.

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is a post-apocalyptic/Sci-Fi read from author Tricia Copeland. This is my second read from this author and once again She has created another captivating and imaginative read that is easy to read and flows from chapter to chapter.
This author writing style makes this read so real and realistic I felt as though I was entwined within the story, and it was made believable in a way that made you stop and think.

This book is filled with action, adventure and danger. It’s suspenseful and thrilling and keeps you guessing. The characters that Tricia Copeland has created are relatable, and you can connect with them on many levels throughout the read. The journey Jema and Troy make again in this read pushes what we already saw in Book 1 to the next level, this book has you on the edge of your seat along wondering what really will happen next. Tricia Copeland has left us wondering again with this ending and has left us wanting more! I can’t wait to see where our next story takes us. I highly recommend this read!

TorchTorch by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This young adult dystopian novel is a fast paced read, second in the lovelock series and is heavily action based. 16 year old Jema along with her friends is faced with an almost impossible task to save the world, against a deadly virus. Her sinister uncle, who rules the government is against releasing the cure for this lethal contagion. So, in the middle of the desert, with limited resources, she has to battle against time to get the cure out. She and her friends are branded as traitors and are on the chase.
The most interesting part about this book is that we can relate it to what is happening around us now with the pandemic around us. The virus is up on the rise and if the cure is not found, the whole world is at risk. Rings a very familiar bell right? I enjoyed reading this page turner.
The only thing I thought was that the plot is so heavily action packed and dialogue oriented, there is a very little description of the setting of the story itself. The reader doesn’t miss it in the midst of all the action, but it would have been more interesting to read when more attention is paid to the little details around the setting, which most authors do, to enhance the beauty of the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This picks up after the third book and continues the story of Leda and her adventures in young love and growing up as a teenager. I love that although it’s written about teenagers, it’s not written as young adult fiction. It’s really relatable, and the two male main characters, Nico and Ange, are well-developed. Even though sometimes the story seems slightly dramatic, it never goes too far and it’s an enjoyable read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a continuation from the last book. Troy and Jema are living off the grid, trying to survive. I loved that part of the book. Seeing what they did at their location to survive. The story surprised me at times and others it seemed in limbo. The characters are intriguing. I mean Troy and Jema are very smart and ingenious. They impress me with their maturity. When other people are added to the mix they take Troy and Jema at age value. They are always surprised when they realize what Troy and Jema can and will do to survive. I do enjoy all the coded messages, whistles and sign language among others that they use for communication. That was very cool!

Overall I didn’t love this (I really wanted to because book 1 impressed me so much). Among the action and drama there were too many lull times. I know some are expected but I was almost to the point of flipping pages during that time. The character building is good although I didn’t see much growth in the two main characters (secondary characters-yes). The world created was still great. Very different to think of the US that way. That ending??? It just blew me away! I was surprised and shocked!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series and it was a good 4 star read.

Following book one in the series, we start with Jema and Troy who have fled to the middle of nowhere setting up a safe place to stay until they get word on their next move. The virus has returned and some high ranking people are fighting over it. When a group of their friends end up joining them, the adventure kicks in from here.

Will they be able to save humanity?

They have a goal to reach and they are determined to get it done. You get pulled in right from the beginning and we get lots of twists and turns. We get action, danger and so much more. Jema was a strong character and all the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I couldn’t help but think about current events while reading this and kind of freaking myself out slightly, LOL. Could we possibly be getting another book in the series? If you’re looking for a great read that will have you on the edge of your seat, 1-click and get started today.

Having read the previous book in this series and enjoying I was looking forward to this one and I wasn’t disappointed. The dystopian genre isn’t really one that I read but I found I was really able to get in to this story quite quickly. It was an interesting and intriguing read and with the world currently going through the situation we are the book is actually quite apt – maybe that’s why I felt like I could get into more as I was able to draw some parallels to real life possibly?!? Just hopefully not the vaccine part of the book!! The authors writing is great, she really drags you into the world that she has created and her descriptive language is great – really helps me as a reader build a picture of what I am reading. It was also nice to read a more plot driven story – I felt like I was really into what I was reading rather than thinking about the characters and their development.
Overall a good read, interesting storyline and I would definitely recommend it.

Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. This YA/Dystopian is filled with action, adventure and deep provoking subjects. I would highly recommend you read book one, Lovelock Ones, first to get the full storyline. Jema and her friends are back and trying to save the world. Tricia Copeland is a great storyteller and this series is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the growth of the characters. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill was an excellent read. I seriously could not put this book down and I believe I enjoyed it more than the first book in this series. It is filled with creative characters with amazing powers. Everything takes place in a world where the beauty and wonder of nature is seen as evil. It was intriguing and I loved the underlying message pointing toward how much of a key role our environment plays in our lives. I was so excited to start this novel and I was extremely pleased with how it turned out. I highly recommend this book and feel it is easily a 5-star read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second novel in the Lovelock Books from Tricia Copeland. I would really recommend reading the first book before you dive into this one as it sets up a lot of the story and things may get a tad confusing trying to traverse this second novel. This one is also set in a dystopian type world and gives us a front row seat as Jema and Troy tackle each obstacle and adventure in the novel. The end goal is to save the world so things of course can be pretty epic. I loved the adventure and the sense of intrigue as you read and how I managed to keep myself literally on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen. These novels tend to keep me either interested and intrigued or overwhelm me and are hard to read, and this one definitely falls in the intrigue and interested category. I look forward to seeing what will happen next for the kids as they move forward with the next novel.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First I must say this novel has the most adorable and vibrant cover that drew me in regardless of the fact that I knew the Italian Saga from Gaia B Amman existed and had wanted to read it. I had high hopes having read the other novels in the series that this book would make me think and feel things that I didn’t know I needed. Unfortunately for me this book fell short of the other ones a tad and I struggled to find that connection with the main character that I had hoped to find. It did have an underlying message and was a fairly well constructed idea of a coming of age story but the layout of this read and the way the character seemed to jump and bounce from issue to issue without really actually solving the one before it was a touch frustrating for me. I did enjoy the world building and felt as if I was abroad at times so that piece remained strong. I will be back for more and look forward to seeing what that may be from Gaia B Amman next!

Just the Way You Are
By Allison M. Boot
5 out of 5 stars

The story Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot is a wonderful book to read. The story is beautiful and uplifting. It is a book that touched my heart. One of the reasons is the characters. I loved reading about Misty Miles. She is a princess who has a disability. She has dreams, however, those closest to her seem to be more upset on how Misty will look to others rather than her happiness. I found Misty to be intelligent and caring. What will happen when she meets with Trovella, a troll who is rumored to grant wishes? Misty also dreams of her Prince Charming, Derrick Denison. Conflict has torn two kingdoms apart. Can they be reunited? Will Misty find a happy ever after? This is a story that not only shows how self-doubt can affect lives, it also shows how encouragement and caring about others can bring about transformations. This story will have you journeying along with Misty as she is faced with challenges and meets a little girl who also has a disability. This is a book that will bring a smile to your face and will have you believing that anything is possible. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torch is the second book in the Lovelock series. I recommend reading the first book to get the background.

This is a fast-paced dystopian novel with a lot of twists and turns. It will keep you engaged as you follow Jema and Troy in the next phase of their journey. Torch is full of adventure as the kids do their best to figure out who they can trust as they try to save the world. This story is a great sequel to the first book and has left things with room for more stories to develop.

The one thing I will say is that if you are struggling with news overload about what is happening with COVID-19 right now, you may not be able to enjoy this as much as it deserves. I think I would have been able to appreciate this even more if I had waited to read it when I’m not inundated with IRL news.

Let me start with saying I absolutely loved the first book in this series, and I seriously loved this one but, it’s been so long since I read the first that it took me quite a while to put everything in order again in my mind. Some things I never did get worked out so really wish I had read the first one again before starting this one. I will make sure to reread both of these before the next one comes out.

It was Book 1 that started my now love for Dystopian novels..These are written so well and feel so real, especially with our world in the state it is in right now. I love Troy and Jema, and many of the secondary characters. I truly felt as though I was fighting this battle with them throughout.

This is an awesome story, one that I completely connected with and can not wait for more of this series as well as from this author. I love her writing style and how when I start I don’t want to put the books down.

I would not try to read this by itself, there’s quite a few moving parts that start in book 1 and they are both fabulous reads!

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot
Misty Miles, the princess of a faraway land known as Starryton, is like any other woman of her station – except for her disability. She has spent the majority of her 21 years high in a tower so that this, and the wheelchair that accompanies it, will remain a secret. Her parents’ fear of the monarchy appearing weak as a result of Misty’s condition necessitates this course of action. Their efforts to protect both Misty and the monarchy make her question her ability to do much of anything – forget about reigning over a kingdom. Like most princesses, Misty has a Prince Charming. Her love is Derrick Denison, prince of the neighboring kingdom of Mooncrest, who is a gifted dancer. Misty is unable to see Derrick because not only is she stuck in an inescapable room, but there’s also the matter of the long, as of yet unresolved, feud between the two families. This conflict caused the once beloved kingdom of Starrycrest to break apart into two separate kingdoms. The princess soon realizes that she must take matters into her own hands. She goes to Trovella, a troll rumored to grant wishes for a price. Misty’s wish takes her on an interesting journey. She not only stares down self-doubt while ensuring that her kingdom and the kingdom of her beloved prince do not pay the ultimate price, but also contends with the rage of feuding families. To make matters all the more complicated, the princess is also faced with the challenge of finding a little girl she encounters in the course of her journey, who also has a disability, a permanent family.

Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness (The Italian Saga #5) by Gaia B. Amman was a good 4 star read.

Leda is going to school in Italy. She has struggled with several self image issues and is recovering from an eating disorder. Having also suffered a broken heart she is trying to move forward from that as well. All of this has turned her into a very strong young woman.

Leda is so busy that she wasn’t looking to connect with anyone but when she meets him there is an instant connection which gets her wondering about her future.

Could he be the one? Does she have room for a relationship?

Overall this was a good read. We get to see Leda grow through the story. We get love, humor, self growth and so much more. All of the characters added a good element to the story. I was pulled in by the author’s writing, I really liked the setting. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the series and it picks up after the last book. We get to see the aftermath of the war in the Citidel as well as how the Queen if the Bees and her partners handle it. It’s nice to get back and see what’s going on. How is Mielitta, Jannlou and Drianna handling their lives now? What about Kermon? Spying to make sure the promises from the war are handled correctly. My frustration is that this is a middle story. Not much happens other than a power struggle in the Citidel. The three friends get some enlightenment in the Forest too. It seemed to be some filler. Granted some of the information I’m sure will be used later.

The characters are interesting and have many levels. I still enjoy the whole bee part. It nice seeing this crew coming into their own.

Overall it’s a nice book. There is adventure and politic in the amazing world this author created. It is very inventive and different from other books.

This is the second book in the Lovelock series. I was surprised at the difference in this story compared to the first one. I think it helps reading the first book before this one- but backstory is really important to me. The one thing that threw me was the name changes- though I understand the reason for it, it was slightly confusing. Jema and Troy are in this book as the main characters- but I feel like Troy was less of a main this time around and more background. I did enjoy the story- I’m interested to see if there’s another book in the making. I would be curious to see where they take the story from here.

The more I read Tricia Copeland, the more she’s becoming my favorite author. She has a way of telling stories that capture your imagination or stir deeply within you. This science fiction read is no different.
In this read, that’s completely different from any other books by the same author, we find 16-yr-old Jema, a teen fugitive marked runaway who exposed a DNA based deadly virus, she and her allies are being hunted by her menacing uncle. Until she can put pressure on him to release the antidote, the world will be at risk.
Subjected to fighting like soldiers in a desert island, Jema seeks out those who’ll take pity on the group in an effort to help them but their supplies are being depleted at every turn for the teen and her allies, it’s a fatal trek to escape.
Can Jema heal the public territory before the world sinks into the abyss?

In this unlikely action-packed book, we find a team of over 50,000 bees with four friends who must save the world.
Assisted by her three brilliant friends, Mieletta, monarch leader of the bees, must shatter the blockade as they advance from the Forest to the Citadel to build a more superior society. However, in the Citadel, she’s still seen as an atypical and defector. The assembly constructs a person skilled in using supernatural forces, fragmenting the blood pledge tying them to the blood pledge with Mieletta as they search to dismantle her. While she conjectures her authority in the Forest, her aspirations befall on one man, inside the Citadel.
Confined in a community where he detests and is frightened by Mage Smith Kernon’s operation becomes a test to withstand. Can he remain tried and true to Mieletta while being a two-faced counterspy in the Citadel? He’s quickly entangled in fraud and trickery while pressuring him into taking drastic measures and hesitation to risk it all. Mother Nature is full of surprises as she prevails in this book.

Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series I would recommend reading this series in order as it continues on from book one, with the same characters and story line.
This book is a fantastic follow up to book one. I was transported back into Jema’s world so quickly and easily. This book was as exciting and fast paced as the first one. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen.
If you are a fan of this genre then I would definitely recommend you try this series. It is well written, exciting and have characters that are so easy to get behind. I am enjoying this very much and can’t wait to see what else might be to come.

Finding Leda by Gaia B. Amman a four-star read that you will find easy to read. This is number five in the Italian Saga and number one in the Italian Teen series, but I will be honest I haven’t read them in any real order and I have enjoyed it like that as its like dipping in and out of someone’s life at different times, so its great when I feel like reliving my younger self I can dip in here and see it through someone else’s eyes and almost see where I went wrong and right. In some ways these novel feel like growing up with a friend, and reading them is like chatting about old times, and like some friends they tell a good story at the start and the end but in the middle they get a little wanderlust and drift a bit but manage to pull it back in to get it all back again.
