Alice still has her rebellious nature but after breaking some rules she discovers a possible plot to affect London. Her two friends find they have magical abilities as well which helps Alice in her race to save some people she cares about.
Young adults especially girls should enjoy this story and series more than others but those of us who are older can enjoy the series too. It’s a page turning adventure that will keep your attention for sure! I myself wonder what it would be like to be able to see and use the essence like these girls can!
I recommend this book and this series as an enjoyable escape from the troubles we’re still facing after two years and the constant threat to our way of life as well from those who want to control what we think, do and say. Books provide such a wonderful vehicle for our minds to dwell on other things and just lose ourselves from reality for a while!
Why not pick up this series and get to know a girl who has trust issues with almost everyone around her in addition to not being able to speak to most people but still wants to help others in her own way. She may be hard to like at first because of her attitudes towards those around her but she will “grow” on you as you get to “know” her better!...more

With all the encounters he still gets away letting us know that they will meet again in a future book!
To enjoy this book more fully, you really need to read the entire series up to here so you’ll know what has already happened. Otherwise you’ll know you have missed a lot of the story!
I recommend this book and series to all those who love animals, especially cats since they play such a pivotal role in this series! It’s a great fantasy and one I think you’ll enjoy! In fact, after the read you may just find yourself using Ben’s phrase:”Whisker’s”, what a ride!

I heartily recommend this book and series to all those who enjoy fantasy and adventure. Ben is a very cocky cat who finds he has been endowed with the ability to communicate with humans, dragons and other sentient beings due to the destiny a crystal bestows on him.
This adventure takes Ben and some of his friends and a dog (no less) through a portal back to the fourth dimension after being banished there by the evil warlocks where he meets a sand cheetah as well as a camel and he and the dog (Max) are both given missions to perform by his crystal.
The battle between good and evil once again comes to play and there is a surprise awaiting readers at the end of the book which will make you eager for the next book to come out to see what is going to happen to the bad guys and who among them may survive!
This is a very enjoyable story once you get past Ben’s arrogance. His dragon tries to impart wisdom to him as does his human mentor and human friends but it takes a long time to sink into his thick head! In this book, however, he seems to finally realize who he is and is more cooperative towards others.
It’s a great escape from the troubles in our country and throughout the world at present so I would encourage you to get this series and enjoy a book about the eternal battle between good and evil which is ongoing to this day no matter where one is or who one is!

The problem was thAn epic fantasy story about a girl who was fated to marry the deathless king and in doing so was to unite the human and Fae realms. The problem was the Fae king hates humans and has banned them from his realm. When he makes no move to claim her, she runs away and marries her best friend and lives a happy life for a year until he shows up for her, kills her husband and takes her away.
Trapped in the Fae realm she undergoes the cave of blessing and not only passes it but bonds with the unicorn inside the cave who blesses her and gives her a promise to come if she calls on him.
She meets her husband the king’s cousin who promises her freedom in exchange for helping him subdue the king. Before this happens though she learns more about the king, her new husband and her feelings start to change towards him but when his cousin enacts his plan she has no choice but to go along with his plan or be killed as a traitor to the king and the country now.
Together she and Gideon escape into another realm knowing Kane will be coming for them and if not him then the other evil force that is bent on taking over the Fae and human realms as well!
This was the first of at least two books and has left me waiting anxiously for the second book to come out so I can continue the story and see what happens next!
It’s been an exciting page turning fantasy of enemies to friends ( almost) back to enemies and maybe more later depending on what transpires in book two! With Deirdre being the girl of Prophecy to unite the realms whose to say if she still won’t somehow accomplish that task even though she has been sidelined by Kane’s cousin Gideon!
This book is well written and will hold your interest throughout and I wholeheartedly recommend you read this intriguing and fascinating book but just beware you’re heading for a cliffhanger at the ending and will have to wait for Queen of Tragedy book two to continue this exciting story!...more

I received an ARC of this book from the author in return for an early review of the book prior to its release.
Shay Mason is a veterinarian who was just closing the clinic on Christmas Eve when a man comes in with an injured dog. When she finishes treating it a blizzard is raging outside so they’re stuck inside on Christmas Eve together. Turns out he’s the brother of an ex boyfriend of hers and she’s not too happy about that plus the fact that he’s also in the military as well!
Colt is attracted to Shay but with her animosity towards him because of her brother and him being in the military he doesn’t think he has a chance.
However, he wants to help the K-9 dogs when they retire as he works with them in the Army and goes to the local animal shelter and sees Shay there. Learning of their need for funding he decides to help if he can and slowly she starts to change her opinion of him as she sees how much he cares about animals.
Through fundraisers they almost reach their goal and then a unexpected source appears which puts them over the top and saves the shelter and assures a place for the retired dogs when they leave the service. Needless to say Shay and Colt also seem destined to a happily ever after themselves after a rocky beginning!
I loved this story as much as I have loved this entire series and wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend you pick up this entire series to read and enjoy again and again! These stories will delight and fill you with joy and hope during this Christmas season as they should and throughout the year as well whenever you reread them again!
They inspire you and make you believe that there is good in the world and in people despite what the media constantly is telling you! These books show what can happen if people work together for a common cause.
I love these books and I know you will love them them as well! Read this book and I know you’ll want to read the others in the series! They are all keepers believe me! Tell your family and friends that they need to read these books this Christmas season to make their season brighter and more meaningful!...more
A very imaginative story. Ben, a cat who can now speak human language in this new dimension he has been brought to finds himself and his fellow dragonA very imaginative story. Ben, a cat who can now speak human language in this new dimension he has been brought to finds himself and his fellow dragon riders pitted against a dark warlock who wants dominion over all seven dimensions. Just a typical power mad tyrant but with magical powers that makes him formidable.
I enjoyed the story and if you love talking dragons, cats and their interactions as well as teaming up to stop the wicked warlock Astravar well look no further because this story will be a delight to you. It’s interesting to see things from a cat’s perspective but even Ben finds he needs to be humbled in his arrogance. There are some good lessons he learns that we humans need to learn as well and so the book is good at reminding us of what and where we should place our trusts and that we should really look deep inside us to make us the humans we should be as well.
I recommend this book as a fun, exciting, thoughtful book which is enjoyable to read as well as one to ponder those choices we’re contemplating to see if indeed they’re the right choices for us.

Cara is trying to come to grips with what she feels from their leader but the threats from his followers in possessing human bodies still persists. Add to that her feelings for Rhys are conflicted because she doesn’t want to come between him and Emma. Then another assault against her comes and the race is on as other good Pyx jump in to help her some at the cost of their hosts lives.
This story is really one you all need to read! I recommend it to both young adult and adult readers both for a book that will be a page turner to keep your attention riveted to the next page and the one after it! It’s an adrenaline pounding book and the writing will keep you glued to the pages and the story line contained therein.
Follow the adventures of Cara, a young girl who thought she was alone in what she saw and heard but finds out others also can see and hear what she does and together with the good Pyx’s they are all determined to overcome and vanquish the outlaw Pyx who have broken their own law by co-existing with the mind of a human and not an animal where they both can peacefully coexist!
The idea of trying to get man to not destroy the planet they live on is certainly not old but is seen through a fresh lens in this series as Cara and her friends along with the good Pyx confront the outlaw Pyx to try and dissuade them from the path they are going!
If you like action, adventure and a chance to delve into the complexities of human behavior well I think you’ll love this series! I think the dark mood will lighten up as the next book is entitled Daybreak which follows Darkness in our world as night gives up its hold on the world so light can enter every day! I look forward to seeing how the knowledge Cara has acquired now can be incorporated into the battle against these outlaw Pyx and the long suffering crush both Cara and Rhys have for each other can finally come out in the open and give them some happiness finally!
The next book will be exciting so why not get this series and discover what lies ahead along with me as we both get ready to embrace Daybreak and the continuation of this amazing, suspenseful series for readers both young and old!

Zafira has always been a dutiful daughter trying to help her family and discovers that someone has been altering the books cheating them out of money while her father has been away. Her mother wants to marry her away to a man who she doesn’t want to marry and when her father returns she runs to greet him and in so doing unwitting changes her future; for later he tells his family he has had to make a bargain to save the lives of he and his companions and since she greeted him first, she has to go to be with a talking lion.
She looks at it as getting out of a marriage she never wanted from her mother and agrees. Initially things seem fine as she finds out the lion becomes human in the evenings and is charming and captivates her. Never having anyone pay attention to her before flatters her and she is carried away with the attention even though his mood changes as she sees jealousy arise if she spends time speaking with the gardener. Other little things happen which she discounts as her fault and she tries to make him happy and even marries him, believing she can break the curse he is under.
However, things turn darker when she hears of her sister getting married and goes to her wedding and returns and finds that her family had written her and wondered why she hadn’t written them which she had, she’d never received their letters either which she always wondered about. When her mother told her about the drink she was taking she told her husband about it and he flew into a rage and denied it. Later she discovered evidence he had been unfaithful to her and when confronted he blamed her and not himself. She found all the letters she had written to her family they never got along with all the letters they wrote she never received that he had kept from her.
His drink he made her drink poisoned her and changed her permanently but the curse now changed him into another form from being a lion into a dove and even though Zafira knows she has been betrayed and her love has been shattered by his deceit, she must follow his trail to try and break his curse to free her father and consequently herself and her family from the magic the oath he and she made to her husband so they can be truly free from him!
This story will conclude when Firament is released.
This is a story of how a girl is sucked into a sociopath’s world and how she conforms and believes everything he says and thinks including that everything that goes wrong is her fault until finally she has the cold hard truth staring her in the face and she can’t deny it any longer!
As you read it you can see how Rasalas was only kind to Zafira outwardly but was manipulative throughout their whole relationship. She was so starved for attention that she just didn’t see it until it was too late!
This book is a must read if only to alert a person to the danger of what may lie beneath the smile of a person you meet. One needs to be cautious and alert in this day and age to the red flags and signals that could spell serious problems in the future in a relationship!
So with that in mind, that is why I recommend you read this story. It will captivate you for sure even though Rasalas behavior will disturb!...more
What a wonderful heartwarming story of a hardworking girl who works as a maid and helps others when they’re in need. They are all bullied by a butler whWhat a wonderful heartwarming story of a hardworking girl who works as a maid and helps others when they’re in need. They are all bullied by a butler who makes their lives miserable but especially one maid in particular. Finally Annabelle with the help of the head housekeeper smuggle her out in the night to a new job away from this man. Annabelle finds herself attracted to a new person on the staff afterwords but later this same butler fires Annabelle because she won’t tell him where the maid went he had abused.
Annabelle and Nico still meet up though as she helps her sisters and takes a new job taking care of a man’s children. When the butler threatens her and her family again financial help comes and Annabelle knows it is from Nico. Later a devastating proposal is made that she feels she must accept but once again help arrives that could change that proposal. However, Annabelle once again tries to help her sisters without regard to herself until she meets Nico on her way to her employer and he finally makes her see how he really feels about her!
I loved this book and the caring nature Annabelle shows towards everyone around her except herself! With all the giving she gives, she is the one she denies in making others happy. In the end she does get that happily ever after she always dreamed of but was afraid she would never have!
I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend you get this book and read it! Your heart will break for the pain that Cecily and Annabelle have to endure from the butler but all good things come to those who wait they say!
I know you’ll enjoy this book as much as I have when you read it and that you’ll be telling your friends and family to read it as well! It’s a book not to be missed! It’s perfect for the Christmas season but really it’s one that you can read year round to make you believe that there are still good people in this world!...more
