The Blood of a Dragon by Jack Adkins

I'm new to books with Dragons so I can't say how this lines up with others written in the same type of genre. However, I can give an honest assessment based upon reading other fantasy novels. I found the book to be a bit slow to take off and halfway through the second chapter I did not know if I wanted to continue or not - but I did because I hate adding books to the DNF shelf unless I absolutely have given them a fair chance. And.....I'm so glad I stuck this one out!! The world building is so worth it all, and the characters are rich and enjoyable. The over all story and plot line was great. I have to say that I am excited to see the next book. Kudos to the author's first shot at writing a published novel - well done indeed!

The Daughter of the Selkie King by Lyndsey Hall

A very short read as far as stories go - this is one that you pack with you for a trip, or you curl up with on the weekend. Full of Selkie and Faerie and all that go along with that fantastical world. I would like to see more books with these characters and have their stories better explored. All in all a fair read for a weekend.

The Ancestor's Key by Marie-Helene Lebault

I wanted to like this book - but did not. It ended up on my DNF shelf after getting to 70% on my Kindle. I found that world-building was lacking, characters were as deep as a tea-spoon of water and lacked character. Story was good but just not for me. I received this as a review copy in exchange for honest review.

The Ring Keeper by AJ Park

I want to start off saying that I was excited bout this book. However, it was a bit difficult to get into primarily because the writing style is a bit different. I felt that the writing could be improved; such as sentence structure or longer sentences. I also felt that at times the descriptions did not evoke feelings or emotional response - almost like it was telling or informative. However, once I got past the writing style I found the story to be very interesting. This is a great book really and I would recommend it for YA audiences, or those who remember Willow. I received a digital review copy in exchange for my honest opinion of the work.

Searching for Direction by Brittney Farr

Searching for Direction is just as well written as the first book . The characters are strong and relatable. The reader can't help but become attached to characters and feel their emotions throughout the story. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Searching for Atonement by Brittney Farr

The thrilling conclusion to this faith-based dystopian fantasy book. Amina and Salome still have things to do in order to secure peace between the Hebrews and the Notzrim. This story of love, loss, courage and what it takes to survive and thrive is worth the read. Grab a copy and curl up for a good weekend read that will leave you satisfied.

She Reigns by Caitlin Dunman

"We can lead from a place of love instead of a place of power" The conclusion to the She Awakens series and it is anything back lacking!! As with all the other books the reader cannot help but care about Attina and hope that other characters see her and love her as well. absolutely a book that will not be easy to put down with the action, betrayal, love and journeys that twist and turn. Amazing conclusion to a binge worthy series!!
