War Bunny (War Bunny Chronicles) by Christopher St. John – Review by Stephen Rymer

War Bunny: Book 1 of the War Bunny ChroniclesWar Bunny: Book 1 of the War Bunny Chronicles by Christopher St. John
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

War Bunny by Christopher St. John is an action-packed fantasy book with animals. This book reminded me of Redwall by Brandon Jacques. The book takes on war against rabbits and foxes. The humans are also Extinct. I love how this book focuses on how nature also hurts each other and how the world can be cruel. I love how Christopher wrote the main characters and how they are portrayed. This book is great for people who love apocalypse books but also action-packed fantasy books. Warning this book also has animals that die in it so if you don’t like animals dying, I do not recommend this book. So, grab some snacks maybe a drink and enjoy this page-turner of a book if you like it there are 2 more books in the series.

Great story. Very descriptive with interesting characters. The world building was fantastic. There was a lot of character growth. The interactions between the characters were good and described their thoughts and feelings really well. Great book for fantasy lovers who don’t want or like the graphic smutty stuff. I am looking forward to more books in the series.

Spook Squad (Ghost Girl Series Book #3) by Allan Evans – Review by Angela Hayes

Spook SquadSpook Squad by Allan Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Spook Squad is the third book in the Ghost Girl series by Allan Evans. It is another wonderfully spooky YA paranormal story- perfect for ‘spooky season’. With drama, danger, ghosts, mystery, investigation, suspense, secrets, creepiness, tension, friendship, agendas, and high stakes, Mr. Evans ensured that his story held my attention and kept me flipping the pages to find out how it all plays out in the end.
Abbey isn’t your average teenager- she has an ability to talk to ghosts. But it also comes with some major pitfalls, which we witness as this story begins. Abbey is approached by an FBI Agent who needs her ‘special talents’ to help in track down some powerful artefacts before they fall into the wrong hands. With the help of her friends, they set off in search of the relics only to discover that danger follows closely behind. It seems that Abey and co aren’t the only ones on the hunt….
Even though this is the third instalment of the Ghost Girl series, it could be read as a standalone if you wanted. But, having said that, I highly recommend reading the first two books to find out more about Abbey and what ‘adventures’ she has had. As I think knowing what has happened previously will help you better appreciate this story, and series as a whole.
Get set for an exciting, spooky read.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Allan Evans!

A Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper – Review by Jessie Hopkins

Right from the start, this was one of the cutest and easiest to read books I’ve picked up in awhile.
I was instantly right there in the parking lot with Holland, feeling her emotions and starting at a new school. I loved the mention and description of all the emotions, almost giving them their own personas.
Asher and Chandler are their own beast. The rivalry between them runs deep and has the whole school picking sides, as Holland quickly finds out.
I love Holland’s group of friends Asher invited her into. I was excited to see what Dara would dress up as next and loved how fierce and determined Tenley was.
Absolutely loved this book. Definitely worth the binge read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spook Squad is the third book in the series that follows the adventures of young Abbey. Although this is the third book in the series the author has made it easy enough to pick up this book and not feel lost by providing details and a bit of a backstory on each character. It is a young adult paranormal story full of mystery, intrigue, suspense, danger, action, paranormal elements, ghosts, slime, and humor. The story centers around 14-year-old Abby who can see and talk to ghosts, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Most of the time Abbey can use her ability to help others but currently she has attracted some unwanted attention in the form of a domineering federal agent who insists on Abbey helping her. Abbey has a truly amazing support system with her friends who help her on her various adventures. The friendship between Abbey, Kelly and Lexi is truly admirable as they help each other out through both thick and thin. The author has done a great job of creating an intriguing storyline that flows nicely. The characters are well developed, interesting, and a bit quirky. I enjoyed this book so much that I fully intend to go back and read the first two books ‘Abnormally Abbey’ and “Class Clown”. This is a great addition to any library for both young and old alike.

14-year-old Abbey’s ability to talk to ghosts has saved both friends and strangers in need. But it’s also attracted the wrong sort of attention.
That attention arrives in the form of a domineering federal agent who insists that Abbey help her with something dangerous. She tells the story of a roguish fellow, Manfred Krug, who traveled the world as a fabled trader in the 1920s. As his diary details, Krug returned from Shanghai with artifacts holding the power to gather and focus otherworldly energy. The agent warns that if the relics fell into the wrong hands, it would be a disaster of biblical proportions.
Enlisting her ride-or-dies, Abbey, Kelly, and Lexi search some of the most haunted places in Minnesota. But someone else—someone dangerous—is after those same artifacts, and they’re right behind Abbey and her spook squad.

Due to an incident with her Grandma, Holland has to up and move to Arizona, despite living in Durango her entire life. She had to start over at a new school and make new friends. On her first day she meets Asher, and sparks fly immediately. But a few days later she meets Chandler and he also has good qualities. She soon finds out these two boys are twins and are known to compete against each other. She doesn’t want to be another one of their trophies but she is still fairly attracted to them both. So they cut a deal and try to win her over.
This story had me laughing out loud and I didn’t want to put it down. I loved the characters and writing. Being from Arizona myself made this even better. Will definitely read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  1. The Viper’s Bloodline: Awakened is the 5th book of the series, and having only read this one, I feel as if I can’t truly do the series justice. However, I will say that this was a very fun read. And though the beginning felt slow, to me, I feel this was mostly due to my not having read the first 4 books. If you enjoy a book full of drama and angst, I believe that this series would be a good recommendation. I’m considering going back to read the rest of the series, after which I would update my review. Really enjoyed it the dark fantasy aspect and the characters were fun to read, though I didn’t personally relate. The story would be really great for you get readers, but it was still very enjoyable.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! What a fantastic unique read! I was taken away from the first page and it was hard to put it down until the end. It is rated for YA but I enjoyed reading it as an adult since it is so well written. Anastasia is a bunny that gets kicked out of her warren for being sick in the head. She questions why bunnies have to give up their lives to predators in the name of their God Dah. The viewpoint changes from a variety of the animals including the predators. The post apocalyptic world is fun since there is a lot of pieces that the author has included. Since it is set in the perspective of animals we get pieces of information about how the humans died also know as the Dead Gods. The lead up from the start of the story to the end is incredible it had me rooting for Anastasia and all the other prey animals for fighting back. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4 – 4.5 Stars

 

The jaws of the fox snapped shut where Anastasia’s head had just been, the right canine tooth catching the tip of her long left ear. A lick of pain raced down her ear and her heart banged against her ribs. The fear burn rushed through her, and her powerful legs hurled her forward. The fox’s jaws closed again, so close to her neck that she could feel the hot breath.
Heart hammering, the brown yearling rabbit flung herself through the small bushes and over the dead leaves and twigs. The fox came behind, paws casting up a welter of leaves and dirt. His eyes were bright, his teeth shone. Anastasia heard his excited whine rising over his harsh breathing.
Why had she left the area near the warren, again? Why couldn’t she be obedient and follow Warren Mother’s commands?

War Bunny is the first book in the War Bunny Chronicles by Christopher St. John. This might have been the first book that I have read by Mr. St. John- but after finishing this book in one sitting, it definitely won’t be the last time I dive between one of his covers.
This book is refreshingly original- but also gave me some ‘Watership Down’ vibes- which I love. Here, Mr. St. John depicts a postapocalyptic world where humans have been wiped out, and now the animals rule the planet. But the way their world is ‘governed’ makes Anastasia start to question things- such as why rabbits have been relegated to being prey- why not more? But rocking the boat leads her to being cast out of the community, where her battle for survival, and adventures begin.
This is a fantastic tale- a YA fantasy with dystopian elements, action, family, friendship, honour, politics, agendas, societal structure/class, culture, community, staying true to yourself, journey of discovery, a coming of age, intriguing world building, wonderful characters, drama, danger, and more.
There is also a detailed map at the beginning of the book, which really helps to put everything in perspective and helped me visualise where everything was, so much more clearly. I LOVE a good map!
I can’t wait to continue the series with ‘Summerday’ (Book #2) and ‘City of Oom’ (Book #3), which are both available now. A fourth book will be released next year (2025).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Christopher St. John!

I have read a few books from this author and she always keeps you on your toes. This has become one of my favorite fantasy series of this year. This is the fourth book of the realm chronicles series. I was so excited to read this book that I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I would read the other book in the series so you know the backstory of the main characters. I read this book in only a few hours. I can’t wait to read the final book.

This was a really cute, clean high school romance! Holland moves to a new town and is starting a new school. Her grandma hurt herself and so the family moved from Colorado to Arizona to take care of her. Holland is running late on her first day and luckily runs into Asher. He shows her around the school and they sit and talk during first period in the library. He ends up giving him her number and she texts him a few times without hearing back from him. They are both a bit nerdy and she is totally overthinking every text. Then she meets Chandler a few days later when she is fighting with her locker. He helps her open it and stays until she can do it on her own. He asks her out with his friends later that night which turns into a bit of a disaster. But when he invites her to hang out at the lake with his family she goes because he is hot and so sweet. Well, turns out Asher and Chandler are twins and are always competing for something, this time it is her. I loved the story line and all the quirky characters, I would definitely recommend!

This is such an interesting story and a unique way to approach it. Even though the story is completely different, it gave me the same vibes I got from reading things like Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies and Hunger Games. And that was just from the description, so I knew I was in for a great read.
The author has clearly given a lot of thought to this story and it shows in the way it was written. Every part of it was well developed and the story really drew me in. For me, this was an unexpected read but one I enjoyed from start to finish. I am looking forward to the others in the series.

This is the first book in the War Bunny Chronicles. This was a really interesting read, set in a time where humans are extinct and animals have free rein over the world. As a lover of Watership Down I jumped at the chance to read another story about a family of rabbits and their struggle for survival.
My heart cried for Anastasia. Just because she was different and didn’t want to follow the beliefs of the warren she was told she was sick in the head and thrown out of her protective family warren to find her way on her own. The family she had were scared of who is was because she didn’t want to tow the line she wanted to live not just become food for prey.
When she now finds herself kicked out and alone she realises she needs friends to survive.
This is a story about different species coming together and finding a safe space where they can live in harmony.
This is a moving story with links to our world today. It includes issues such as religion, family dynamics and hierarchys and learning to be strong enough to go against things trying to keep us oppressed.
The unique twist of this story being about animals but with them dealing with issues we find ourselves deal with made this story really unique and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more.

To be a Fae Rogue (Realm Chronicles Book 4)To be a Fae Rogue by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Titania is back, but she is no longer the Queen of the Fae, that title died with her the day she fought the dragons and Sonia and the whole kingdom is still in mourning, but she has her cabin in the woods and the one Fae whose love is still true to her, to keep her company. Unfortunately for Titania, a simple life tending animals and fixing up her cabin is not enough and she decides that she must find a way to help her Kingdom.

She is still worried about Sonia and when she finds out that everything she went through and lost to fight her still may have all been for naught as she finds that Sonia left a parting message with the witches that the upper realm of the humans is still in grave danger and that she is more powerful than anyone could ever imagine. Titania knows that she needs to help stop her before she turns on the Fae realm, knowing that most likely the only thing stopping that is the fact that she is dead, to Sonia at least.

This is where Titania has to make a decision, try and save both her Kingdom and the upper realm from the shadows and continue to help the witches stop Sonia and deal with the ramifications, or stay under cover in secrecy and live a simple life with her love? This is another whirlwind adventure while unraveling a mystery and holding on to love, faith and hope in the darkest of times.

The queen has a child that is the next in line for the throne, however, a supposed son of the deceased crown prince has come out of the shadows and laid his claim to the throne. Nothing will stop him from taking what he feels belongs to him by right. The queen will need to do everything in her power to stop him from succeeding. Who can she turn to for help? While the world building and characters were great I do have to agree with a lot of others by saying that you should definitely read the other books in this series first. It did take me a little bit to decipher exactly what was happening, who the main players were, the relationships between characters, and what everyone’s role was to the plot. Once I picked that up it was smooth sailing from there.

I definitely recommend reading the first four books first as there are a lot of things that happened that are referenced in this book but nonetheless it’s a great book. It’s mythology, gods, war, and magic set in modern times. It’s got a lot of action, drama, secrets, betrayal, revenge and loving relationships. I liked most of the characters and their journeys. I liked the world Winnifred Tataw created and ‘m definitely going back and reading the other books.

I have really enjoyed this fantasy series – fae, magic, goblins, vampire, and so much more! The main character in the series, Queen Titania, is dead. Or at least all but a few of her closest and most trusted guards think she is. She is hiding out in a cabin and staying hidden from Sonia to keep her people safe, or at least she hopes to. She is staying away from the witches and the upper realm because she doesn’t want to be detected. Quinn has been named king but she is missing her family fiercely and doesn’t think her parents should have had to lose all of their children. Queen Titania is tough, she is a fighter, and she is going to do everything in her power to keep her realm safe from the darkness that seems to be coming. I cannot wait for the final book of the series! Each book has been better than the one before so I’m sure the final will be amazing!

Titania has sacrificed her position in order to save her people. Everyone thinks that she is dead. Well, all except for a few trusted fae. Sonia’s threats against her kind will cease because of this lie. As long as she can keep up the ruse, all will be well. But is she cut out for a quiet, country life? When the attacks on earth start bleeding into her realm, can she sit by and watch? As Titania faces these challenges, old rivals become bold, and a deep loss has her questioning her purpose. Will her sacrifices be enough to stave off Sonia for good?

This is the fourth book in this series. You definitely need to read the previous books so that you understand everything that is happening. In my mind this book reminded me of how the 7th book in the HP series played out. It has a lull that is needed to understand Titania’s struggles and then all the action happens, and you are left reeling. However, while the other book finished the series, this book feels like the main conflict is just beginning. And I will be here for it! It is exciting and very unexpected tragedy.

This is the electrifying fifth installment of The Gods’ Scion series, and the author delivers a masterful tapestry of tension and intrigue that gripped me from the very first page. I have only read books 3-5 of this series which provided enough background for me to follow, but I highly recommend reading these books in order. Rodrick and Arcelia navigate a treacherous landscape of family secrets, relentless betrayal, and magical power plays. The dark family secrets add depth to the characters as well as complexities that resonate deeply throughout the narrative. Arcelia is a formidable force of her own! She is a magnificently well-developed character and one I’m not ashamed to admire. There are twists and turns as you journey through this story and some left me utterly speechless. This author’s ability to blend intricate character development with high-stakes fantasy is unmatched. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a story where the sheer number of twists, secrets, and betrayals makes it impossible to predict what lies ahead.

At least read the 4th book before this one to really be able to enjoy this story. Its so fast paced and will keep you flipping pages late in the night. Its an urban fantasy, action story that that will take you on many different adventure that include magic, mystery, secrets, curses and of course betrayals. The story is about a Queen who can’t trust anyone and one of her children is supposed to be next in line for the Crown but of course someone shows up and says they are the rightful heir. This man claiming to be the rightful heir will stop at nothing to get the crown. The Queen is beside herself because she doesn’t know who she can trust and finds out there are few and far between. This is such a fast paced read and it will have you flipping pages late in the night. This one will stick with you for days after reading and in my opinion that is the sign of a really good book!

To be a Fae Rogue is Book Four in the Realm Chronicles Series. If you have not yet read the rest of the series, I highly recommend that you do as the previous books will introduce you to the characters, give you their back stories and provide information that leads up to this latest installment. It is a fantasy book full of danger, action, drama, tension, mystery, hope, love, friendship, and family. Everyone believes that Titania is dead which allows her the opportunity to pursue things that she was unable to do in the past. To protect the Fae realm and those she loves Titania feels that it is best to remain hidden. However, evil does not rest, and she must fight to protect those she cares about. Titania is an interesting character that puts the needs of others before herself and is willing to make great sacrifices to protect those that she cares for.
The author is done an amazing job of creating the magical and intriguing Fae world. A great story about the battle of good versus evil that was hard to put down.
