This is the final book in this series and it is a great fantasy story. For me it was all about the characters. I loved watching their development throughout the book and I felt like I became really invested in them. their growth really was fascinating to watch.
This is a new author to me and, although the final book of the series, I thought this book was a great way to be introduced to her. I enjoyed the writing style. The pace of the book was perfect and the story seemed to flow with ease. I will definitely be going back to read books 1&2 as well as checking out more of her work.

Somehow I missed that this was the last book of the series. I still enjoyed reading this paranormal urban fantasy book. This young adult book has adventure, friends, family, witches, and more. Amy has had a tough time and finds herself and her life changed in ways she never expected. So much change at once can really take a toll. On top of that, she must find help from someone she considers an enemy.
The story is well written and kept me turning the page to see what happens next. The author is new to me and I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful, fantasy story. A story where you decide if you can trust someone who is trying to take something from you. But they are your only chance to get what you really want. A story you don’t want to miss. This is a new author for me which I look forward to reading more from her and this series. I enjoyed how she used her writing skills to pull me into a world of fantasy, romance with a touch of suspense. The characters are creative and engaging. They had me coming back for more as well as their twists and turns. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry throughout.

4 Stars

 

Streets of Shadow by Rebecca Bischoff is the first book that I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. It is a young adult/teen historical mystery set in Scotland in 1665, which gives the story an extra element of interest as well as adding some darker tones to the overall storyline.
A bit of a coming-of-age story woven through the plot while also providing plenty of suspense, danger, action, adventure, intrigue, murder, tragedy, lies, disease, challenges, and even a touch of romance.
Teenage Kenna (15) goes from discovering her sister has been murdered, to being on the run, to then being captured and locked up underground with no means to escape. She could lose all hope, but Kenna is a tough one, and she’s determined to survive and find justice for her sister. What happens makes for a thought-provoking and intriguing read.
Ms. Bischoff has brought the 1600’s to life with vivid descriptions and attention to detail. Her story and characters are well-developed and interesting. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her stories in the future.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Rebecca Bischoff!

Kenna is a 15 year old young lady when she finds out that her dear sister, who is more like her mother, has been murdered. When Kenna goes to her Grandfather, the Earl, she is comforted by him, but only briefly. Next thing she knows, she’s being put in a carriage and taken to Stewart’s Close. It’s an alleyway that is in the most extreme poor of communities. She’s also being accused of the murder of her sister. If that’s not enough, Stewart’s Close is under quarantine because of Kenna…she may have brought the plague to them.

Kenna has suddenly gone from a Lady to a beggar. She’s sleeping in the filthiest of places and stealing for food. It’s a battle of survival for her! No one wants anything to do with the “Poisoner” until Donny and his wife decide to take her in…but at a price.

Will Kenna be able to avenge her sister’s death? Will she ever regain her rightful place as a Lady in society? Will she even be able to survive?

This book grabbed me from the get-go! It’s full of adventure and history. There are plot twists at every corner as well! This is my first read by this author but I’ll be looking for more of her work!

Streets of Shadows is a YA historical fiction story set in 17th-century Scotland. I always look forward to reading a good historical fiction story, and this did not disappoint. Kenna wants to avenge the murder of her sister, but before she can, she is taken by a mysterious stranger. Locked away in the poorest slums of Edinburgh, she must find her way out and figure out who and what the players are in the situation. I enjoyed delving into some Scottish history and seeing a different viewpoint of the plague. Kenna is a well-developed character who kept me on the edge of my seat at times. There was a lot of development of the different characters and the setting and story. Even though there was a lot of detail to put you into the 17th century, it wasn’t so overdone, making the story drag. I hadn’t read this author before, but I will now look for other books by her. I look forward to passing this book on to my niece to read soon.

First off I have to say that I never reach for historical fiction. This book has absolutely changed my mind going forward. I loved it. The author did a fantastic job with her character and plot development. It was a new experience for me and didn’t at all feel like I was reading the same story line that I have read many times before. I will be looking forward to reading more by this talented author.

By: Rebecca Bischoff

This is an amazing historical mystery. It is very well written with really enjoyable characters. I truly love that this features a sister who is trying to get justice for her sister. Kenna is such a well developed character with many facets to her. She is the granddaughter of an earl who really lost it all. Not to mention that the plague is all around. But Kenna doesn’t let this all deter her from finding the person who murdered her sister. This story really kept me reading to find out what would happen next. I really truly recommend this! I loved it so much!

I really enjoyed this YA historical romance and I loved the glimpse that the author gave us into historical Scotland. I thought the story was a really interesting and well written one. The pacing was great and I found myself connecting with the story easily.
The main character really added to the storyline. She was strong and had such a feistiness about her that you couldn’t help but like her. I thought this was all a perfect combination and I found that I couldn’t wait to see how things would play out. This was a brilliant story that appeals to a wide audience and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this historical story. It was full of mystery but it was the historical side that really brought this story to life for me.
The author’s research into the history of Stewart’s Close and Edinburgh during that era really puts an added layer onto this story for me.
Kenna’s character has to endure so much in this story but what I love about her is through it all she never loses her determination to return and get the justice for her sister. Even when it seems all hope is lost and there is no way she can overcome the odds her strength and determination proves anything is possible.
When her is murdered Kenna plans to see justice done but then things are taken out of her control. She is moved around and ends up on Stewarts Close in Edinburgh which has been locked up because of the plague. With no one being able to come in and no one able to leave how can Kenna escape? When the fight turns into a fight for her life as well as getting justice does Kenna have the strength to overcome it all.
This book is full of twists and turns which make it a read that you will be hooked on and the attention to the historical really brings the era to life

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical YA novel which had me hooked from start to finish. I fell in love with the main character, Kenna literally on page one when the reader is introduced to her, whilst she’s scaling a wall in her skirts! Of course the book is set in 1665 so a fifteen year old girl should definitely not be scaling walls. This act alone gives the reader a taste of Kenna’s character and personality. Kenna is fleeing from her grandfather’s Scottish estate having suspected that her sister was murdered by her husband, and fears that she will be next. However, as she was fleeing she is kidnapped by a stranger who takes her into the city of Edinburgh, where she is locked inside the gate at the head of Stewart’s Close.
The Close is a long, narrow alleyway into the poorest part of the city. Kenna is accused by the local lawman of leaving a plague stricken house, so a white cloth is tied outside to warn others that the disease has struck, and no one can enter or leave the close. Without money, or friends she has no way of leaving, all she wanted was to find justice for her murdered sister, but now she needs to survive and escape herself. This has a gripping storyline with plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life, and the added historical details transported me to Edinburgh in 1665.

I enjoyed reading this historical mystery story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading from beginning to end. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story where a sister wants nothing more than to get justice for her sister that was murdered. I enjoyed Kenna’s character. She is a determined, strong character that added so much to the story. She brought different emotions and at times I felt bad for her. I also enjoyed how she pulled me into her world of the plague and how she was treated. There is great growth of the characters throughout. They are connectable and supportive of each other. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story that kept me turning pages just to see what would happen next. Will Kenna find her justice, you don’t want to miss what happens. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

This book jumps right into the story and gives you a recap of her past. It was a nice change of pace from other stories that draw things out. I did not realize this was the third book in the series until I finished the book but I enjoyed it all the same. I love Amy’s character and her passion for her gift. This story keeps you turning pages to learn what happens and if she is able to reunite with her mom after all this time. So much more is at risk than just her mother’s soul. Will she be strong enough to save her mother and herself is the real question. I will definitely be going back and reading books 1 and 2!

Exposed is the third and final book in the Descendants series by Lea Cherry. This is an engrossing young adult urban fantasy with witches, magic, high stakes, family, friendship, and adventure.
Amy has been through quite a lot especially since her was completely upended after discovering a whole new world that she never even knew existed- as well as learning ‘who’ she really was. She feels adrift, with a target on her soul- loss and betrayal weigh heavily on her. She’s ready to give up- but will need to dig deep if she has any chance of saving the day. What happens here makes for a great read.
Looking forward to reading ‘Star Light’ which is the first book in Ms. Cherry’s new fantasy romance series, the ‘Elesseand Saga’, due to release mid-April (2023).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Lea Cherry!

The end is near…would you trust the enemy?

The last few months have turned Amy’s life upside down. She discovered who she really was with a life she never knew existed right under her nose. An entire world opened up to her only to be shattered by events she never wanted to experience. She lost Ryker, her friends betrayed her trust, the most powerful Tainted wanted her soul and she learned that her mother didn’t die when she was two. Did I mention that she also found out who her father was?

Amy was ready to throw it all away when her magic disappeared, but she knew that her life would never be the same even without her power. The paranormal will still be around her, and now, with her mother found, she needs to find a way to reunite her mother’s body with her soul that is trapped in the ethereal.

The only obstacle is that she needs someone of Pure-blood to power-share to bring her mother back and the only person with this ability is the enemy trying to steal her soul. Could she trust him enough to save the last remaining family she has left or would the witches she has surrounded herself with be enough?

For fans of Carolyn MacCullough, Jana Oliver and Rachel Hawkins.

Grab the final instalment of the Descendant series to find out if you can trust the enemy and if blood is thicker than water.

This is book one in the series. I enjoyed the nostalgia when reading True Colors. It’s filled with tween/teen drama that is appropriate for middle school. Bullies, peer pressure, trying to fit in, being popular and general angst of being a teenager. The reader can relate to Laundry and everything she goes through! The story creates a positive message for the reader and has wonderful character development. A plus for any tween/teen!

A Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker – Review by Nicole Thompson

A Dowry of Snails and Mud by Brittany Tucker is full of historical elements and emotion, and it also has romance, curiosity, fun, responsibility, humor, drama, and comedy. Readers are taken on a thrilling journey full of moments that make you laugh out loud and characters you can’t help but root for. When Rhiannon Caddell is forced to marry someone who isn’t her love, she fears that her life is spiraling out of control. However, she never expected to marry a king’s son in order to save her entire town from his father’s oppressive tax payment. At the wedding, Rhiannon is uncertain of what to do with her new, gentle and soft-spoken husband Emerys, who has never done any farm work. With time running out, Rhiannon and Emerys must find a way to make the money demanded by the king. Not only do they have to keep their hearts safe, but they must make this arranged marriage work despite the odds.
