My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brittany Tucker’s “The Calamities of Camden Callahan” is an emotional read that takes you on a journey through a world full of pirates, mad scientists, and individuals with extraordinary powers. It’s a story that effortlessly blends the elements of fantasy and reality, with death and rebirth as recurring themes that keep you on the edge of your seat. Camden Callahan (Cam) and Annie quickly become real and relatable individuals.
You can’t help but get emotionally invested in their fates, rooting for them through every twist and turn of their adventure. Some scenes in the book are undeniably difficult to read because they paint a vivid picture of the cruelty that people are capable of. I thoroughly enjoyed Brittany Tucker’s latest work. Her storytelling prowess shines brightly in this tale of adventure, adversity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Shadow’s Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3) by Natalie Johanson – Review by Kerry Baker

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadows Fall is the third book in the series. I would definitely recommend reading them in order so you get a full understanding of what is happening. However, I didn’t do this and was still able to figure it all out and enjoy the story. This is a great YA fantasy story that is imaginative and well written. You are pulled straight into the story with ease and I could not wait to see what was going to happen.
The characters fit really well with the story. They were original and refreshing and I connected with them immediately. This is a new author to me and I can say for sure that the first thing I will be doing is going back to read the other books in the series.

My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5866848951″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I struggled a little in the beginning. I found the first chapter or two of this book hard to gel with what the author was describing and to visualise the story, but once things clicked I was hooked and needed to see what happened. It may have made more sense if I had read the first two in the series, although once past the start the book is fine as a stand alone. <br />We follow Rose (chief of the Shadwmaker Clan) and the magic wielders as the shadows return magic to the world. Not only is the struggle with the wielderes but also with the populace as a whole. She hunts for those from her past to help find peace in the present.<br />King Micah and the war in the South as Roses anchor has his own battles to wage that have little to do with the war.<br />The world building, both the physical realm and the shadow world are linked and described in depth, the characters all continue to grow and evolve as the world around them changes.<br />Avery well written book that I thoroughly enjoyed once I was further than the third chapter.<br />I am ready for more from this author. If you like in depth fantasy and journeys this is the book for you .<br />

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series. I did not have the opportunity to read the first two before reading Shadow’s Fall. I was able to keep up, however I would like to go back and start at the beginning. That being said, I really enjoyed this book. It’s a dark fantasy story with a wonderfully written main character named Rose. I connected with her very easily. I do recommend this book, however do start at the beginning of the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Camden has been running from his true identity since he was a young boy. Before his mother dies, she entrusts him to a pirate to save him from a fate worse than death. However, death comes knocking in the form of a Revenant (a person who has died but comes back with elemental powers) attack on his boat. Even though he should have died, he finds himself awakened as none other than a Revenant with fire powers and his captain and friends missing. His search brings him into a partnership that needs him to claim his true identity. Can he find his captain and friends before his past catches up to him? Will he be able to turn an acquaintance into a partner before it’s too late?

This was my first time reading this author and I truly enjoyed reading this book. I loved getting to know Camden and his mates, as well as his newfound friends. This wasn’t at all what I was expecting as I got deeper into the book. I did like the justice that was served and the opening for more books in this series. The fact that there is room for character growth is what will bring me back to read the next book. I want to see the fallout continue for the people pulling the strings, per se. Overall, I felt that it was very well written and well thought out.

Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera (Gumshoe Mysteries Book 2)Gumshoe Goes To A Quinceanera by Laura Hawks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another winner with this adventure for Mia & Gumshoe. Mia is trying to fulfill her promise to help Gumshoe find out what happened to his family. Along the way, another adventure involving a party. I just cannot put these books down. The last one (Gumshoe & The Mysterious Mushroom) and this one are sooo good that you want to read them in one sitting. They are entertaining. Gumshoe can only be understood by Mia. She has learned she is a witch and he is her familar. I laugh at their interactions. I have been reading this too my grandson and he has been chuckling too. He rarely laughs but he finds Gumshoe is funny. The cozies are perfect for the teen/young adult crowd. I’m an old lady and I love them too. I can’t wait for the next one.

This is a crazy teen cozy. I loved every minute of reading it. Mia and Gumshoe, her newfound cat, learn that her life isn’t what she thought it was. She has to defend her dad against a mystery. I can’t tell you much more that that without spoiling it. I can tell you that this is a story is entertaining, humorous and makes you enjoy finding the culprit. I loved everything about it. The story and flow is so perfect. Mia and her parents are perfect in the story. I can’t wait for the next book.

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read Shadow’s Fall without reading the prior books in the series. While I don’t feel I really missed out on a lot of information, I am sure reading the others first would have made things a bit more smooth as far as the storyline and understanding how the characters were connected. Natalie Johanson does an amazing job weaving a descriptive, intriguing, and original story. I could see the world in which the story takes place and feel what the characters were feeling. The characters were so original, likeable, and believable. The added elements of magic, danger, romance, and darkness only enhanced the book’s entertainment. I was kept on the edge of my seat more than once waiting to see what would happen next. Shadow’s Fall is Young Adult fiction but is just as entertaining for older individuals who enjoy a great fantasy read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t love this book in the beginning. It was different overall and so different from the author’s other books. BUT, I’m so glad I stuck it out. It was so good in the latter half that I could hardly put it down. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen and how it was going to end. This book starts with the murder of Cam’s mother. This throws him onto a new path in life, a life with pirates. The pirates are struggling, so Cam takes a job for some unsavory people. He never dreamed this would end in his death though. The story doesn’t end there. Cam comes back to life as a Revenant with fire powers. He goes to do a job and meets Annie. Annie is a young woman who is being treated horribly and forced to do unspeakable things. Will Cam be able to help Annie and rescue her from the life she is stuck in? You definitely will want to read this book to find out if they can save each other!

For some reason, I have been on a real “piratey” kick lately (so much so that the little one has decided, on her own, to be a pirate for Halloween). Suffice it to say that this young adult, swashbuckling tale hit the spot! Having read this author before, I knew that I was destined to love the vibrant characters and immersing details and definitely was not disappointed! Camden and Annie take turns telling their story, and it did not take long for me to sink right into both of their worlds. There is so much action, adventure, twists, and turns that anyone can appreciate this book. You don’t have to be a young adult or even much into pirates to enjoy yourself with this. After you inhale this book, you are definitely going to want to go check out the author’s other work – I guarantee it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadow’s Fall is the third book in the Shadowstalker series by Natalie Johanson. The first being Shadow’s voice and second is Shadow’s past. I made the mistake of reading this one first so i was a little lost, but have no doubt I will be going back to read the first two then will most likely reread this one. This is my first time reading a book by this author and even though I started on this one I was still super impressed with her writing style and loved this imaginative story. It was a dark fantasy book with strong emotions, magic, crazy good action, romance,and many secrets. I really enjoyed Rose. She was a real Kick ass, take names later kind a girl and I lovvvve it
I already can’t wait to read the next installment of this Shadowstalker series after being left with this cliffhanger 😣

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rose, being the newly appointed Chief of her clan, is still trying to figure things out. Her new position of authority, her powers, being reunited with her mother that abandoned her at a young age, and the tether to King Micah. On top of all of that, Gerik, (who I am assuming is the big bad in the previous books) alluded the King and his troops in search of a myth deep in the desert. When Rose finds out, she instantly decides to find Gerik and stop him. She is not going to let him hurt anyone else she cares about. With a crash course on how to travel in the shadows, she sets off.

Meanwhile, King Micah travels home and does not get the welcome he was looking for. Instead of being welcomed with praise and opened arms, he is welcomed by citizens being angry at one thing or another and a group of religious people who hate all magic users. Micah has to figure out how to make everyone happy.

This book is the third book in the Shadowstalker series and although I read it as a stand alone, I highly suggest going back and reading the first two. The book seems to be starting off right after the previous one so I was a bit lost with who’s who and what’s what. Fortunately the book is detailed enough that the book was still enjoyable without reading the previous books. The author does a good job in world building and at times felt like I was there. As the book goes on, it becomes packed with action and excitement. Get prepared to fall in love with the series and impatiently wait for the next installment to come out.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is the first book in the Revenant series by Brittany Tucker. This was a really fun, action-packed, YA adventure that had me hooked from the moment I saw the cover. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Tuckers books, but this is definitely my favourite (so far).
I love Ms. Tucker’s dynamic and immersive world-building skills, she easily transported me into the story as I followed along. I could see this making a great television series, too.
I definitely have a taste for her work now and I can’t wait to read more books set in the Revenant world… or anything else she produces.
If you love original YA adventures, then this is definitely the book for you.
Happy Reading…

Thank You, Brittany Tucker!

Life. Death. Revenge. This is the first book I have read by Brittany Tucker and lord how mercy at the talent she has. I haven’t read many pirate books, but they have a lot to live up to when I come across one again. Told from the dual perspectives of Camden and Annie, this book takes you on a journey of rescuing, surviving, and thriving.
Camden was just nine years old when his mother was assassinated in front of him. When a random man saves Cam from the same fate his mother begs the man to take her son, raise him and keep him far from his father. Annie is from the North but after being sold by slavers to a Lord of the South she is raised as their daughter and “safe” if she doesn’t ask too many questions. Lockdown of a Port leaves Cam desperate to escape the “prison” he is trapped in leading to him making a risky move by accepting a red card job from a Stripe or Revenant. His reasoning is that he wants to buy his own ship, have Nathan, current ships navigator, as his quartermaster and allow Captain Resh to retire comfortably. Captain Resh was the man who saved him when he was younger. Annie isn’t like the others in New Havana, since the moment she arrived she has seen the ghosts of the island, they follow her and sometimes visit her in the night for help. Camden dies defending his job of transporting six barrels, only after he is spit back out and reborn as a Revenant himself does he learn the truth of the “job” he was on. It was a trap, a mission to prove the guilt of an once friend of the men who gave him the job. Now he has only one mission, to save his friends, and get revenge for his death on the man that caused it.
Will Camden succeed in his mission to save those he cares for? What does his newfound powers truly mean by living his true life? How will the truth of his identity affect himself and those around him? This world was beyond captivating. I often found myself lost in the visual and having to reread a sentence or two to remember what was happening. The characters are complex and never skin deep though they seem that way at times. Kept on the edge of my seat and sometimes holding my breath this was an amazing read to start the week kept me engaged and guessing what would happen next. I hope the author makes more books in the Revenant world.

The Calamities of Camden Callahan is A Revenant Novel. The story focuses on 19-year-old Cam, a pirate. Cam has had a disastrous run of luck, with his crew killed and his captain missing. He has to figure out what his next steps will be in his life. Cam is a great character who has lived through a lot in his youth. The story has a lot of different layers with interesting characters. Cam develops a lot in the book and leaves me hoping for more books about everyone. The twists and turns kept me reading late into the night. I enjoyed this book and have recommended it to my niece for a new read. I think she will enjoy Cam and his adventures during this book. I look forward to reading more by this author.

This was a well-written fantasy which I couldn’t put down. I enjoyed the adventures the characters were led down, there was danger, secrecy and suspense which kept me engaged and guessing throughout.

The characters were well-crafted, I particularly liked how their backgrounds influenced their actions and beliefs in a believable way, especially as they attempt to protect their loved ones. Both Camden and Annie are strong, capable individuals, determined to get the answers and outcomes they’re working towards.

This was a fun read which kept me turning the pages and wanting more and I will be looking for more from this author!

I’ve read every book this author has put out so far and this by far is the best one. Although I’ve read enjoyed all of them, this one had an extra emotional element tied to it that drew me in. It does touch upon death and a few other sensitive topics. it has action, drama, romance, and sci-fi. The character development of Camden is superb. The plot twists are fantastic. To the author, I’m so glad you didn’t listen when they told you this book wasn’t good. It may be the best book I’ve read this year so far. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

I really enjoyed the main character, Cam. His past plays such a big factor in the book and it was really interesting to watch his character confront this as he developed.

I really enjoyed this story.i love fantasy adventures and I was gripped from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. The author does an amazing job with our main characters of Camden and Annie. Both of them have troubled pasts and things they are running from but both of them are survivors and they will stop at nothing to protect and save the people they care about.
Camden has had it tough after losing his mum and hiding from his father. When a captain takes him in he changes his name all in an attempt to hide from his father. Why is his father so dangerous that his mother died trying to get him away?
When Camden’s captain is kidnapped he knows he has to save him before its too late. What if the captian reveals Camdens true identity? Would his life be at risk?
How do you deal with things when the one person who should have protected and defended you is the person who betrays you?
This is an action packed story filled with drama, danger, secrets and lies, Suspense that keeps you turning the pages.
Camden is a strong character who fights against adversity despite the costs to himself.
Annie is the same, strong, independent and does stop asking questions but will she like the answers she finds?
This was a great read and I can’t wait till the author produces more work and more adventures for me to lose myself in. This is a story about being strong enough to face your past head on and work through the problems instead of continuing to hide and run away from them and also learning to fight for the people you care about no matter the cost to yourself

This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for them in the future. This is a well written story about betrayal and facing the one person who should never have betrayed you. I found this book to be suspenseful in parts and engaging in others. A hard to put down story that is fast paced and easy to read. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. An entertaining story where the main character has a secret that he doesn’t need to come out but what will happen if it does? This is a story that also has some suspense to it as well. There is great growth of the plot and characters throughout the story. I enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Death consumes all, but even it spit out Camden Callahan.
In the years since his father’s betrayal, 19-year-old pirate, Cam, has done the unimaginable to keep his true identity a secret. When a desperate gamble gets his crew slaughtered and his captain kidnapped, Cam wakes from the ashes of their ship, gifted with newfound powers and a fresh start in life.
But with the fate of his captain—the only one who knows Cam’s past—uncertain, he must infiltrate an island run by an overzealous doctor, and his deadly followers, before the captain spills Cam’s truth to the world, ripping away his last chance at freedom.
Even beneath the tropical sun, shadows thrive as dark deals are struck, forcing Cam to confront old foes—both within and without—as time runs out.
On this island, wearing his old name may be the only way Cam can keep himself, his captain, and his new allies alive. Doing so, though, would mean choosing to face death—and his father—a second time.

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Shadow’s Fall is the third book in the Shadowstalker series by Natalie Johanson. I have come into this series a little late, starting on the third instalment instead of the first- as when I purchased a copy I hadn’t realised this was Book #3 in an ongoing series. I really wish that I had noticed that before embarking on this adventure because I think knowing what happened previously would have made this an even better read. So having said that, I will be going back and reading the previous two books before continuing on with any new instalments in the series.
I highly recommend that you don’t do what I did by jumping into the series on this instalment. Take the time and go back to the beginning and find out what happens there before diving in here. I think knowing what happens previously will definitely enhance your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole.
This is a bit of an epic YA fantasy with magic, action, romance, drama, danger, emotion, intrigue, mystery, secrets, discoveries, challenges, surprising developments, and sacrifice.
This is a well-woven story with plenty of texture, depth, and layers that are cleverly crafted into an engrossing read. The world-building is immersive and the characters are engaging- making for a great read.
This instalment ends on a cliffhanger- so everything is set to continue in Book #4—- Bring it on!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Natalie Johanson!

I had started reading this book before I realised it was the third book in the series, so I stopped and went back and made sure to read the first two books, Shadow’s Voice and Shadow’s Past. They follow on from each other, so I was glad that I did.
Natalie’s writing is imaginative and thrilling and it’s easy to see why she won first place in the Firebird’s Book Awards.
The Shadowstalker is a slightly dark magical fantasy series, and it is that darkness that gives the story that much more edge. It is a testament to Natalie’s writing and world building skills that I enjoyed this story and the others so much as I am not usually a lover of YA stories.
I really enjoyed the MC Rose, she is a well-developed character that is strong, sassy, tough and kickarse and does not apologise for who she is.
Rose’s past raises its ugly head when she is forced to hunt one who is intent on destroying everything she loves. Will that darkness be her undoing once again?
If you like something a little dark, something a little mysterious, something a little thrilling then jump in because this story did not disappoint.

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Shadowstalker series. I initially started this book without reading the previous two but went back to read the previous books before finishing it. I would recommend that you read the first two books prior to starting this one to get a clearer picture of the characters and the ongoing story.
This was an enjoyable young adult fantasy. It was well-written; everything links together nicely between the books and within this one. The writing style was easy to follow and sets up the twists in a satisfying way. I also enjoyed the way the characters, character developments and growing relationships were written.
I’m hoping another book is released soon as I need to know what happens next!

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Shadowstalker series. I do highly recommend reading theses book from the beginning so that you get a complete picture of the story, the characters and how they are entwined. The author has done an amazing job with this series. It is a magical adventure, full of danger, secrets, lies and connections i did not see coming. The characters are well written and both Rose and King Micah have their own battles they have to resolve as well as trying to work out their unique connection and what it all means.
This story is full of moving parts and people so I definately recommend reading this series in order to get the full enjoyment. Reading it is like watching the characters playing a game of strategy but they don’t know who they are against or what their enemies are capable of which makes it harder to see the twists and turns coming.
One thing for sure both Rose and King Micah have to make sacrifices to protect the people under their care but how big a sacrifice will surprise them both.
This book ends on a cliff hanger so I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
If you enjoy stories of multi layered lands, magic, danger, adventure, secrets and ancient clans then I definately suggest falling into this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fairly entertaining fantasy novel. I came into it here in the middle. I found it to contain lots of drama and adventure. Everyone seems to be adjusting to new roles. The writing is well-done. I was pulled in right from the beginning with King Micah surveying the battlefields and the opposing forces. From their, it only got better. I will have to go back and read it from the beginning. I found the protagonist to be strong and trying to overcome a lot. It was a very well-done read.
