Human Hearts (Draco Sang #3)Human Hearts by Mary Beesley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Human Hearts is the third book in the Draco Sang series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the conclusion of the characters in this series. A particulate favorite of mine is the story arch of Jade. She is this villainess that is waring with heart and her duty. Jade, like the rest of the characters, have had to figure out how to manage or control their beasts that they obtain in their teenage years. This series and this novel is a great story and metaphor for humans and how we sometimes have a beast that we must overcome and understand. I recommend this series if you like fantasy!

This was a good young adult fantasy read. Dragons, drama, love – all of it are included. I was a little confused having come into this book as the third installation but eventually I caught up. Enjoyable, and I’ll read more from this author

I may give a higher review later on.
I didn’t realize this was a trilogy until I completed the book. I am going back and reading the whole series. Once this is done I will feel more confident giving a 5 out of 5 star review.
While reading I was pretty confused with the world you are engrossed in, the characters etc. I’m sure if I read the first 2 books I wouldn’t have been as confused.
The author did a wonderful job writing the book and always keeping you engaged and ready to turn to the next page. The book was written with many different views so you as the reader always knew what was going on. This made the story much more enjoyable. Between action, adventure, love and tribulation you were always left wanting more.
With this as a series conclusion I’m kind of sad it’s over and left wanting more.

Human Hearts (Draco Sang #3)Human Hearts by Mary Beesley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A multiple-POV masterpiece that encases everything that a fantasy reader hopes to encounter: raging battles, the fight for a crown, and a love that defies all odds. The Draco Sang series has been one of beauty, strength, tears, and perseverance. Suza and Ferth, Jade and Tobin, and all of the characters that warmed this book with their witty banter and sharp skills. They have earned a place as much loved characters, and it is a shame that this appears to be the last of the installment as I would have loved to see their development further.

This story pick up in the heat of battle and follows each of these characters as they face hardships that most do not even imagine. Their decisions and quick wit leads them on periodically intertwining paths that encourages the story along in a fast-paced read without feeling rushed. It leads the reader through the multiple lives and personalities to match as the story continues. This book was a lovely refresher because most fantasy tends to hint at similar themes and occurrences. But this? A work of art that is both a palate cleanse and a lovely book to get a reader out of a slump. The characters were easily loved and my emotions always seemed to match alongside their ever changing ones.

A very, very great read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Draco Sang series. I would really recommend reading them from the beginning as picked this book up first and felt I was missing something. However saying that the story was still a great read and makes me want to go back and read from the beginning. The author does an amazing job with the writing keeping the characters and story engaging.
This is a story about love and the cost of that love.
The story is wrote from 3 different points of view and each of the 3 characters have their own story to tell which keeps the whole book gripping as we watch their stories unfold.
This is a young adult paranormal story and one I think if read from the beginning would be amazing. I am now going to go back and read the series in order so I can enhance the enjoyment I felt and really get a grip on the whole story from start to finish.

This was my first read in the series and of this author. The writing in this book is good. The details that really draw the picture for what you’re reading is so descriptive. I was a little lost at the beginning because I didn’t read books 1 or 2. But this book is so good I quickly got adapted to what was going on. Even though this is a YA book, it seems like a YA novel that doesn’t “baby” down the book if that makes sense. It’s something that my younger self would’ve also enjoyed.

This was a very captivating story. Coming into it at book 3, I did feel a little lost. I will go back and read the series over. This is a new author to me and I really found her writing quite delightful. The characters are engaging. I would love to read more from this author. It’s a book that I believe fantasy lovers will love.

I went into this book blind a bit lost since I didn’t read the first 2 books. However even going in blind it was an amazing book. The author is new to me but everything that people have rented and raved about is right. Fantastic writing and unforgettable imagery.
The characters were well developed, unique, and strong. Each with a personal journey that took them to where they needed to be and that tied the story together up to this successful end. I do not always love YA stories but this is one I could not put down and books 1 and 2 are going to be my next read

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Draco Sang are mostly animals, but humans are their slaves and will stop at nothing to snuff out the normal humans or those who are traitors. This book is portrayed through different views from the characters. We start with Nogard who is a dragon that just wants to sleep. Then there is Jade, she has so many feelings about the battle that she must be a part of. She is part of the Draco Sang but has secrets that she must hide. Suza is fights for the humans. All she wants is for them to have their freedom. Ferth, a Draco Sang who now fights for the humans as well. He is the son of war chief and is now considered a traitor. He has many people that he intends to save. Will he be able to save them all?
This book was good. The way the story is told through each chapter being a different characters point of view is a great way to see what is going on during both sides of the battle. Be sure to read the first two books of this series!

This is a brilliant conclusion to this series and easily my favourite book of them all. And while I didn’t want to see the series end this was definitely the perfect way to do so. I was pulled straight back into the story right from Page 1. The story is so well written and ready to imagine that could it really does feel like you are there.
I would highly recommend this entire series to anyone and I am already looking forward to reading it again.

Human Hearts is the epic conclusion to the Draco Sang series by Mary Beesley. It follows on from Dragon’s Blood (Book #1) and Wolf Pack (Book #2). I came into this series backwards and have read this book without reading the previous two… and I am kicking myself for not realising sooner and for not starting at the beginning. While I did enjoy this book, I feel I would have appreciated everything so much more if I had read it in sequence, and as part of the series… So, in saying that I have decided to go back to the beginning and start the series fresh, and complete. Stay tuned for updates…
This is an epic YA fantasy with superbly detailed and descriptive world-building- and some very interesting characters. It has all the ingredients to keep you glued to the pages, and not want to miss a second. From action and adventure to danger and dramatic developments, the paranormal, dragons, warriors, assassins, conflict and tension, and emotion- all makes for gripping reading. The story is told from several POV’s which really gave the story an extra element of interest for me. I just wish I had been following them right from the beginning, and not wondering what I might be missing by not having read the previous books.
Happy Reading! I am off to explore the series from the beginning…

Thank you, Mary Beesley!

Where to even start? Human Hearts was the perfect conclusion to the Draco Sang saga. From page 1 you are pulled into the world and adventures of Jade, Ferth and Suza. Their trials and growth are incredible to read about and impossible to put down once you start.
The epic world building and finale were exhilarating through the end. Absolutely loved every moment of it and binged it in just a few days!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bake Off is a charming book for all ages that has a story similar to Like Water for Chocolate, Just Add Magic and Encanto combined with its own flair. It will leave you feeling warm and wanting to bake. The best part of all is that for each chapter there is a recipe included that allows you to recreate some of the magic from the story.

The main character Cat goes on a trip with her family to learn more about baking and ends up there just in time for a wonderful surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed the character development and was able to follow along well despite not having read the previous book in the series, although now I’m even more intrigued to see how that story unfolded into this enchanting sequel. The ending of the book concluded well but left me wanting more. I enjoyed the book and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

I highly recommend this book for baking enthusiasts and those who are looking for a small town packed full of adventure and mysteries to be uncovered.

Holly is the new girl at school and my unwilling lab partner. She hates me because I’m one of the popular guys—one of the bullies who terrorize the unfortunate and the unpopular. For me, it’s who I’ve had to become to keep anyone from getting too close—close enough to see right through me.
When Holly finds out my secret, I have to do whatever it takes to keep her quiet—even if it means telling the most damaging lie of all—the one I tell myself.

Human Hearts is the final book in this unique YA fantasy trilogy. What an epic conclusion it is. Mary is one great storyteller.

The story is told by three main POV which enriches the narrative in this page-turner. The characters are well crafted and developed and you can feel their emotions. The writing is beautifully crafted, the world building is vivid and creative and the plot is cleverly woven and is thrilling, interesting and highly engaging.

Three warriors who have been fighting to find themselves but also fighting for survival and the journey has been real and raw.

It is a story where you need to go into it blind and enjoy every moment in the discovery.

Bake Off is the second book in the Bake Believe series. It is a fun story of a young girl coming into her own, really starting to discover herself, and her family in a whole new way.
She doesn’t only have normal teen issues to deal with, like school, and boys. She has a special gift that she doesn’t understand and is having trouble getting a handle on it. In this book, she takes a trip to visit her family in Arizona, hoping to learn more about her gift and her family. She wants to use her gift for good but she has to understand it first.
Once again the author has done an amazing job pulling you into the pages of the book. They don’t just tell you how the character feels, they bring it to life so that you can imagine the feeling as if it is happening to you. The story is light and funny and the main character learns some life lessons along the way. There is just enough mystery to without getting too complicated, making this book perfect for anyone from the age of 10 and up. This book is just very well written. I can’t wait for the next book in the series and I would definitely recommend.

Bake Believe is a story of a young girl who is a little boy crazy and determined to enjoy every second of life. Through a happy accident she comes to find that she has a special ability when she bakes. Not special like her food tastes good, special like magical!
This is a fantastic story for ages from middle school to adult. Not only is the story cute and funny, but the artist has the gift of making you feel like you are part of the story, experiencing it right along with the character.
This book should carry a warning though! Each chapter is followed by a delicious recipe that you will want to try.
I would recommend this book to anyone ages 10 and up! Looking forward to reading the rest if the series

This book was a really great sequel to the first book. It was a perfect clean teen read with enough surprises to keep you guessing. The first book was great but this sequel really took the cake. Full of teen angst, a hint of romance, and plenty of humor this book was a great read and definitely parent approved.

As we learn the family secrets and see some competition this is the perfect book for a teen coming of age and looking for a clean read with humor, a little romance, and tons of twists and turns to keep the readers attention!
The recipes are a nice added bonus as well!

This was a very cute coming of age story! The characters were lovable and the family dynamic was relatable. Everyone remembers those awkward coming of age years but to add baking that immensely messes with peoples feelings to the mix, who would have thought!
Throughout the story you find yourself wanting to know more background on each characters and longing to understand how each character fits into the story! The author did a great job of keeping the readers attention!
The only complaint is I wish the author would have incorporated the pretzels more that were so important in the beginning!

This book is a good preteen book. It starts with Cat’s last day of summer vacation. Cat grew up in a house where no one bakes. At all. Ever. Her mother seems a bit odd and Cat seems to be a bit much. But I love her character and remember being like her at that age. I love that there are recipes in each chapter, which do not skip over them. They are just as good as the rest of the book. I can’t wait to read the next book to find out more!

Bake Off is the second book in the Bake Believe series aimed at pre-teen and young teen readers. The story is a fun, baking magic story. Cat is learning more about her family and coming into her own as a baker. Will this new insight and information on her family help her succeed and excel?
I enjoyed this fun, family-orientated story. The characters are fun, and it is fantastic to see them developing more since the first book. The story is also interesting and will grab the attention of any young teen interested in baking and cooking. I enjoy finding new stories to hand to my niece to grab her attention and get her to read more. I look forward to the next book in the series and where Cat’s story goes next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cat has made the road trip with her family to see the family bakery and to (hopefully) figure out how to control her emotional baking. Instead of just sitting down and laying out the family history, CG creates a scavenger hunt that gives Cat and Robyn a more “hands on” approach. But, Cat is observant, and is noticing that there are lots of things not being said from different members of her family…and she is determined to figure it out. Turns out there is more going on than everyone is letting on.

I enjoyed the first book in the series and was happy to see Cat get some answers that will help her. This book is definitely written for a younger reader (maybe 10-14 years of age), but I still enjoyed it. And…there is a recipe at the end of each chapter that sounds super yummy!
