My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one huge adventure! It really kept my interest as we go from one scene to the next. Just when I think I am getting it figured out. We go to another place and I have to start all over again. I am not complaining it just really kept me on my toes. This is filled with politics, dangerous creatures, immortals, rebellion and one guy who thinks he is God.

The characters are endless. But I loved learning and meeting each one. They all have unique traits that add to or help move the story along. As we follow Alina along her journey we see her skittishness then how it turns to confidence.

Overall this is an intriguing story. As for the characters there are a few I want to more of their story. What will happen when Zaiden arrives if ever? Will Oliver become her one? What’s up with Jade and Mae? J’koby, Camden…the list goes in. As you can see this story isn’t over. So bring on book 2!

This is the second book in the Soppranaturale Series. The story of Link and Ommily continues. As the two remaining  Fae left they have come together and after competing successfully in The Gauntlet they are now part of The Guard.

The Guard by Ashley Pagano a fancy five-star read. This is number two in a Soppranaturale series and it is best to read them in order to get the most out of them. This was such a well-done paranormal story, it has so many fast-paced lines that hook you in and don’t let go. There is something for everyone in this series and this story, action and passion and romance, a story that will run you through the emotional wringer, but you will still love it. I don’t want to say too much, so I will just say you need this story!!

The Perfect Outcast
By Melissa O. Hansen
☆☆☆☆☆
This complete novel is great for those wonderfully growing and changing teens, with a wild imagination. This is a fantasy for all ages as well, as I enjoyed this adventure.

Alina is a 17 year old that just wants what all of her classmates have. But her inner teen wants more. She is not pretty, she is not liked and she even has teachers who do not like her. A teen living in a perfect town. No sadness, no death and plenty of happy partiers. Perfect! Just not for Alina. She wants answers, she has many questions, and not even her caregiver will talk to her. So here is where it gets good, sit back and read on.

Melissa Hansen has quite the knowledge of those teens and young adults. Her story will not disappoint. I love her characters for this story. She gave it that realness teens are looking for. While this story is a YA Fantasy. I did enjoy reading it. It holds your interest and keeps you, the reader, wanting more. Take the leap and enjoy this story. I know I did!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an awesome second book. It’s not too often that a second equals or is better than the first. This is one special book because it does that! It is a continuation of book 1 and tells how things are since winning the Gauntlet. Each of the characters is moved forward personally but they also grow together. I loved seeing each of them and their powers.

Do you like action, romance, paranormals? Yes, Yes, Yes?..Me too! This has all that and more! This is full of wonderful characters. I loved wondering what Ommily and Link would do next, who they would run into and what kind of paranormal they were. Or maybe they were human.

Overall I really loved this! Excellent idea (hotel) for the story. The characters are fun, sassy and annoying. They even made me tear up! I would love to see more of these characters anytime!

I would highly recommend reading The Gauntlet (book 1) before reading this. There are a few overlapping stories as well as the first time Ommily comes to the hotel.

This young adult story is amazing. I find that Melissa O. Hansen does an amazing job with her attention to detail. She writes about a perfect world and a young lady who is imperfect. Try to imagine everyone and everything is perfect and then there was you, the imperfect person. Alina is looking for a safe space where she can be her. While looking for her perfect place she finds a dark spot in the past. Will the dark past be too much for her? You will have to read to find out how this story plays out.

Melissa O. Hansen has really written a lovely novel here. I was not sure what to expect since I hadn’t read anything by her previously, but this book was one I look forward to visiting again and sharing with my teenage daughter as well. This book has not only a wonderful storyline with fab characters, it has some really good points to be seen and made about people and personal growth. We are not all perfect or if we are we are perfect in our own ways and for different reasons. I felt like that was such a strong point throughout but it didn’t read lecture like or difficult it had the perfect flow to engage the reader and teach. This book brings us the story of Alina, a young woman stuck in the middle of a confusing time and world. She will get in your head and make you think as you enjoy the magic of her story. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

Yes! Book 1 was epic, this is even better!

This book was once again written brilliantly, with brilliant descriptions and epic high fantasy, romance, action & adventure, It was a captivating and engaging read from the very beginning.
This book picks up right after book 1 so I highly suggest that you read them both in order to get the full experience of the characters stories and journeys from the very beginning.

This book fully captivates you into this world the author has created and you get lost within the pages, it feels like you are there within the story living it out alongside the characters. You will never get bored while reading this book, it’s fast-paced and will leave you wanting more! I can’t wait to read more from this author and to see what else will come to series! I highly recommend this book and this author.

Kickflip Summer is the debut novel by Danielle Jacks. It is a sweet young adult/new adult romance- with endearing characters, and a fun storyline.
Kara wants to have some fun over summer with her best friend Toby, before heading to university.
Bear is under pressure from his father to take over the family business. So, this looks like it might be his last summer of skateboarding.
A story of summertime fun, young love, friendship, family, responsibility- and how life can sometimes throw you a curveball.
I look forward to reading more from Ms. Jacks in the future!

Thank you, Danielle Jacks!

I really enjoyed the second book in the Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano. I don’t usually read this particular genre but I really liked book 1 and the authors writing I felt was really engaging and enjoyable to read. Again I was quickly absorbed into what I was reading; the author’s descriptive language makes for great world building. The characters are very creative and I liked reading about them. I enjoyed following Link and Ommily again in this story, they definitely had some obstacles to face this time – I loved reading about them! The story does have quite a few layers to it which made it more exciting to read, I found myself easily lost in what I was reading!
I think this book definitely needs to be read after book 1 to fully understand everything going on. I definitely recommend this series!!

The Guard: A Soppranaturale Series: Book 2 by Ashley Pagano is an original story which is a paranormal fantasy. This intriguing story has everything to make it a fun and engaging read just like the first book in this series. Ashley has created a world that is easy to get lost in and she has given us characters and a storyline that comes to life. This story picks up from where the last one left off so you should read it first before diving in to this one.

The Perfect Outcast by Melissa O. Hansen is a YA Dystopian Sci Fi and her writing, world building and characters makes it easy to get caught up in the storyline. It is an original premise that is creative so you can imagine the worlds of mortals and immortals and what they consider beautiful or not. But what is the definition of what one person perceives as beautiful as opposed to the next person. If I found it an interesting read the YA’s will definitely like it.

YES! I had high hopes for this novel after reading the first in the series, which I recommend that you do as well before diving into this one, but this knocked it out of the park. I really have grown to love taking an escape type vacation to a magical world of the Soppranaturale. The way this book is written you are transported to a land you could only imagine in your wildest dreams with all kinds of magic and inhuman creatures.

This book picks up just shortly after the last with Ommily and Link finally finding each other and in the Guard but with a whole new set of obstacles in their way. There are several layered elements between the Guard and the romance between the two that there is hardly a moment to breathe let alone get bored. I found myself reading this well into the night to see how the culmination of everything would turn out. Not one missed wink was missed. I look forward to seeing what will come next from Ashley Pagano!

The Guard is the second book in The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano. It is a really intriguing paranormal fantasy, and a really original and fun read. I loved the first book and couldn’t wait to dive into this story and continue the adventure. Full of magic, secrets, supernatural and paranormal beings, discovery, action, danger, and more.
We discovered The Soppranaturale Hotel in Book One- the ’undercover’ sanctuary for paranormal & supernatural creatures who all do their part to keep things running and contribute to The Soppranaturale. We met Ommily and Link- the very last two Fae, as they proceeded to connect and then conquer the Gauntlet. This book sees them being tested like never before, as rouge supernaturals enter the picture- placing everything they hold dear in grave danger! What happens next kept me avidly reading to discover if they win out in the end.
I highly recommend reading book one before starting on this book, as there is important backstory and interesting details contained there, which will enhance your appreciation of this book.
So, if you love a well written and incredibly intriguing paranormal fantasy- then you really won’t want to miss this story/series!
Looking forward to more!

Thank you, Ms. Pagano!

The Perfect Outcast is the first book in the Perfect Outcast series by Melissa O. Hansen. It is a clever and though-provoking story of self-discovery and finding where you belong.
It is a YA fantasy- with sci-fi and dystopian themes- the story is woven with meaning and hidden messages, which really made me think. There was so much going on in it, in a good way- from secrets, drama, deadly conspiracy, hidden agendas, corruption, mystery, romance, parallel worlds, power, responsibility, mortals/immortals- and the idea that ‘being perfect’ is not everything it’s cracked up to be.
This is a fantastic start to the series- and if this is anything to go by, the rest of the series is set to be outstanding. Ms. Hansen’s world building is superb- creating quite a vividly detailed setting in which to place her story.
I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.

Thank you, Melissa O. Hansen!

It is a book that pulled me in, and I was hooked. I love the characters of Link and Ommily.

The author does a wonderful job in world-building and making both the storyline and the characters come to life on the pages.

Being book 2 in a series, and my having not read book 1, I have to say I was not at all disappointed! I loved this book so much! Each book can be read as a standalone but I will be going back and reading the first, and looking for anything else this author writes. This was my very first Lynn Stevens book and I’m here for ALL of the rest of them. Wow.

Cami was such a sweet character and Dylan was perfection. I’m always all about character development and Lynn hit that out of the park with Just One Song. It’s got some light angst, some emotional moments, and has it’s sad spots but overall it’s an easy read and highly suggested!

I enjoyed this book. This is book two in this series, I highly suggest you read book one before this one. It will help your enhancement of this series and get to know where the characters come from and where they are now. This is a great second part of this story. Ommily and Link’s story picks up where they have just found each other and have been accepted into the Guard. Their journey continues as they take a stand against supernaturals rogues. Their relationship is pushed to limits they did not expect. Will the Guard come out on top or will the hotel fall? What happens to them you don’t want to miss. They bring lots of action and some romance too. It is a fast paced story and easy to read. This book made a great afternoon story and I highly recommend this book.

The storyline is well written and paced nicely, well thought out. The author builds a story world people would gladly be lost in for a few hours. It’s an interesting storyline that kept me intrigued and has me wanting more. The characters are complex and easy to connect with. I’m looking forward to more from this author and getting lost in another great book. Four stars and highly recommended.

When your dreams become reality, are they really what you expected?

Cami is hoping to graduate from High school and the escape to the big city to pursue her career in music but one day a music legend comes to perform and her life gets turn upside down when he asks her to be one of his backing singers.

Hank is a music legend and is coming to perform in a small town. Cami is excited to be part of this spectacular and is hoping to learn from the great rock legend but there’s one probably he is not a nice person. Cami is then drawn to his son Dylan who has taken her under his wing, the chemistry is in abundance but can his manic life add love into the mix, you will have to read to find out.

This is the first story I have read in this series and by this author, it works well as a stand alone but I would love to read the first book in this series to get the groundwork for the story and characters involved.

The story is one of first chances, what ifs, angst and inevitable characters who want to ruin everything. The story is well written and develops into a beautiful story which I could not put down, the two main characters compliment each other brilliantly and you are willing them to have a happily ever after story.

I recommend this book, it’s an easy read with a great storyline. I can’t wait to read the first installment and the next in the series.

Kara is a young woman who is smart, strong, and independent. For her last summer before university, she has decided to follow her best friend Toby and work in the Blue Oaks Theme Park. Then she meets Bear. Bear is a young man whose passion is skateboarding. He is not thrilled at the idea of going home. He finds himself very attracted to Kara. Is what is happening between Kara and Bear just a summer fling or is it turning into something more? Read this book to find out. The story has romantic moments as well as funny moments that made me laugh out loud. I grew to care about what happens to Kara and Bear with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. I loved the character of Toby who is Kara’s best friend. They make sure to look out for one another.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good rockstar romance but she exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the Just One series. I read this book as a stand alone but after reading this story I have to go back and read the first one as well. Once I started this book I could put it down until the end. The characters draw you right in the beginning. It took me only a few hours to devour this incredible book.

Cami Harris just got out of high school and she wants to leave her hometown to become a famous singer. She is so excited when one of the best rockstar’s comes to Branson. Cami gets to be a backup singer for Hank at some of his shows. She is happy to learn from the best even if he is a jerk. Cami meets Hank’s son Dylan and sparks start to fly. She is happy that Dylan is taking her under his wing and showing her the famous life. Cami starts falling for Dylan but is he feeling the same way? Is Cami ready to be famous or does she realize she needs to stay home and take care of her family?

I have to say when I first read the synopsis for this book I was intrigued, sci-fi/dystopian stories aren’t really my usual go to stories but I’ve read a few lately so I thought I would give this one a go and I really enjoyed it overall! I thought the writing was great, I was drawn in to the story quite quickly and I thought the authors writing was creative and it captured my imagination. I really liked Alina, I thought that she was a really relatable character, and I especially think young adults/teenagers would find that connection with her too. I enjoyed reading about her journey and seeing her grow as a person over the story.
A really great read and I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

The Perfect Outcast by Melissa O. Hansen is a young adult story set in a dystopian world that is different to any world you have experienced. This is an interesting story that will really get you thinking and re-evaluate what you class as “perfect”.
The description of this book caught my eye immediately. I knew I wanted to know more about this world and the supposedly imperfect Alina. From the moment I started reading I was transported into a world where things couldn’t be more different than we experience ourselves day to day.
As the story progresses you are really drawn into examining the perspective of perfect. The fact that it is done in the way the author has written it as well just makes it all the better. Although a lot of the basic themes of the book aren’t unique I thought the overall premise and the way it was written definitely was! This was a fantastic book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Just One Song is the 2nd book in the Just One series by Lynn Stevens. Each book can be read as a standalone and contains one complete story. I had not read the first book in this series Just One Summer and did not feel that I was missing any important information. This is the first time that I have read any of this author’s work and I’m glad I chose to take a chance on a new author to me as I really enjoyed this book very much.
Hero of the book is Dylan Walker, son of famous singer Hank Walker and our heroine is Cami Harris who has been chosen as one of the back-up singers for his dad’s band for the summer.
I really enjoyed reading Cami and Dylan’s story. I loved watching their friendship grow and then them struggling with their growing feelings for each other. Both are great characters who are very believable and likeable, unlike Dylan’s father Hank who is a very nasty character. I always say that one of the things that makes a good author for me, is the ability to make me really hate the bad guy and believe me, I HATED Hank.
It’s also very much a coming of age story for Cami. Her dream is to become a singer but that would mean moving away and with things being so difficult at home, she’s very confused as to how she can live her dream but also give her family the support they need. She’s an amazing character just wants to do the right thing for everyone around her. I really enjoyed reading her story.
