She Awakens by Caitlinn Denman

The Fae against humans in a Dystopian setting. What more could one want? I am a lover of Dystopian stories and with this one you have the added edge of a Fae and Human war that will change the world. Attina makes a likable and relatable character who is well-developed and easy to like. She is also easy to want the best for in the midst of a seemingly impossible situation

A Delicate Betrayal by Jessica Willis

Excellent world building and character development. The MC is a woman who is strong and unbreakable, but also kind and courageous. She makes the hard decisions and stands by her beliefs. The Knight is interested and I would like to learn more of his story in future books. Over all this is a good read, enjoyable and worth diving into

Shadow of the Sword by C. J. R. Isely

Knights, Squires, betrayal, battles, and triumph after heart ache! What more could a person ask for? I am new to this genre, but this book has me captivated and this author has made their place on my to be reads this year. I may spend time binge reading more books about the Knights of Alamore!

The Power of Blood by H.B. Lyne

A surprise of a book. Though it took of a bit slow it quickly became a book that could not be put down! Tragedy suddenly upends the life of the MC and she is thrown into things she never expected. I found this book to be a quick read that left me ready to read more.

A prequel that will have readers intrigued and ready to jump into a series that will no doubt be filled with action, lively characters and plots that will keep the reader entertained. This is a short read that packs a great story. The reader will not be disappointed by the world building, characters and plot.

The Oracle of Life by Katherine Graham

What a great debut novel to a series that will surely become a favourite of readers. Excellent world-building and character development. A story of struggle between classes in a time and place where magic is equally feared and loved at the same time. The main character faces struggles once she is deemed a "doomsayer" and is ostracized by many.

The Dark Prince of Lazaro by Rachel Croxton

A fairy tale of epic proportions that draws the reader in. Although character development could have been better I still enjoyed this book. Maybe because, like the main character, as a child I used books as an escape - an opportunity to be in a different life, a different world and different circumstances. Like all good fairy tales, or fairy tale-type stories this one holds a lesson to be gleaned. Rachel Croxton has done an excellent job at creating a story that will both entertain you and leave you thinking.

She Conquers Caitlin Denman

Strong World building and great characters that grow and develop throughout the book. Destiny, friendships, betrayals, growing trust, love. ...
