Description:
From the moment MacKayla Lane arrived in Dublin to hunt her sister’s murderer, she’s had to fight one dangerous battle after the next: to survive, to secure power, to keep her city safe, to protect the people she loves.

The matter of who’s good and who’s evil can be decided by the answer to a single question: Whose side are you on?

Now, as High Queen of the Fae, Mac faces her greatest challenge yet: ruling the very race she was born to hunt and kill – a race that wants her dead yesterday, so they can put a pure-blooded Fae queen on the throne.

But challenges with her subjects are the least of her concerns when an ancient, deadly foe resurfaces, changing not only the rules of the game but the very game itself, initiating a catastrophic sequence of events that have devastating consequences and leave Mac questioning everything she’s ever learned and everyone she’s ever loved. Now begins an epic battle between Mortal and Fae, Seelie and Unseelie, would-be kings and would-be queens, with possession of the Unseelie King’s virtually unlimited power and the fate of humanity at stake.

From the exquisite, deadly gardens of the High Queen’s court, to long-forgotten truths found in the Sacred Grove of Creation, from the erotic bed of her enigmatic, powerful lover to the darkest, seductive reaches of the Unseelie kingdom, Mac’s final journey takes her places no human has been before, and only one human could possibly survive…One who’s willing to sacrifice everything.

 

 

Review:

A Kingdom of Shadow and Light by Karen Marie Moning is the 11th book in her fantastic Fever series. Upon completion of reading this book, I was thrilled how Moning finished this series, especially how she added on some epilogues.  As much as I will miss Mac, Barrons, Dani, Ryoden, etc,  I was happy to see the conclusion of this series, which was an exciting and wild ride, as well as being very satisfying. 

We pick up after High Voltage left off, as Mac is now the High Queen of the Fae, and faces her enemies daily, as even in her own courts they try to kill her.  With Barrons still close by protecting Mac, as well as her friends, she manages to be a step ahead of the enemies, but she learns of a powerful ancient enemy, who everyone thought dead, and chaos is about to put them all in danger. Where does Mac turn; as many of those close to her all of a sudden are missing, including her father, Dani, Kat’s daughter, etc.

What follows is an ultra-exciting, wild, mind bending story, though very early on it was a bit slow, but quickly changes to a nonstop thriller all the way.   The stakes are high, as Mac is determined to save humans and the Fae, as well as the Seelie, and the question is still out there as to who will become the next King, with 4 possible candidates.   The chapters revolve around mostly Mac, Dani and newcomer Lyryka, with some others along the way.  There is a lot of fear, as we see many of our favorites in dangerous situations.  Who will live and who will survive? 

I will not give spoilers, as it will most definitely ruin things for you, and this is a difficult review to write, since so much happens; especially with so many twists and turns as we race to the climax.  A Kingdom of Shadow and Light was a rollercoaster of a wild ride throughout, and ¾ of the book was non-stop and very emotional on so many levels.  As I noted earlier, it was wonderful to spend so much time with our favorites, Mac, Barrons, Dani, Ryodan, Shazham, Christian, Kat, just to name a few, as I loved every moment of this series.  Thank you Karen Marie Moning for this wonderful closure of the series.  If you are a Fever fan, you must read this book, to get the perfect closure to the series.

Book 5 in New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s new Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador™ World continues an epic fantasy adventure with shocking surprises and twists.

Faced with losing the only grimoire volume Daegan has or turning his back on Casidhe, he makes a surprising choice. Time is literally running out of an hourglass for Casidhe to prove her value to Queen Maeve or face never leaving TÅμr Medb, but to hand the crazy queen a grimoire volume would destroy humans and nonhumans. Reese finds a place to stay away from those she cares for in Atlanta while hunting the origin of demons flooding the city, but she’s not as adept at hiding as she thinks.
Brynhild made a tactical mistake in underestimating humans with weapons and will not do so again. To destroy the red dragon, she needs a partner who understands this world and the one she selects has his own agenda.

In a bid to free Casidhe, Daegan agrees to enter a ghost castle where every step is a deadly trap set specifically to kill him.

*This is a 9-book spinoff series for first-time readers as well as current Belador fans.
All 9 books will release within a year and be available in e-book, print, and audiobooks.

 

 

Review:

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World by Dianna Love is the 5th book in this 9-book arc.  As a big fan of Dianna Love, as I have read all of her series. Refresher: Daegan and his team are attacked by Immortiks, who were supposed dead many years ago. Many of his Belador team are being held prisoners, with the threat of death if Daegan can’t find the missing ‘grimoire’ volumes. The information on the Immortiks and the grimoire is difficult to find, as it dates back thousands of years ago.

As the story continues, Daegan with the help of Tristan and the entity he promised to help, together they were able to find a way to rescue Casidhe away from the hands of Queen Maeve. Casidhe at first believed the bad things said about Daegan, but after hearing how he was in dire straits, and showed how much he cared for her, she realizes the truth.  Knowing she was safe, Casidhe allows Daegan to go with the entity to complete his promise and she would wait for him

Daegen and Tristan find themselves in dangerous situation, as the entity did not tell all the truth, putting their lives in danger.  But in a short time, they manage to get what was needed, and escape back home to Casidhe, but they needed to find the hidden Grimore box.  While Casidhe and Tristan go off to find her friend, Daegan goes to visit Brina, as she is about to give birth.  Daegan also discovers some secrets and revelations from Lanna, that will affect their future.

Evalle, who is acting in charge for Quinn, finds herself, Adrianna and Reese being attacked by many demons, who mainly want Reese.  When things settle, Quinn finally finds Reese to tell her how he feels and wants the baby; and to keep her safe.  

It is always great to see all of our favorites throughout each book. What follows is a non-stop action filled, pulse pounding story, with each chapter wild and exciting.  I am not going to tell too much more, since I do not want to give spoilers, as these are short stories and saying too much would be too revealing. As normal, this book ends with an amazing multiple cliffhanger; involving Evalle, with Adrianna; Casidhe discovering that she had been betrayed long ago and Daegan and Tristan in trouble again. As I have said previously, this is a 9-book series arc and you truly do need to read these books in cohesion.  If you are  love paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, romance, great characters, you should be reading Dianna Love.

Dirty Deeds: An Urban Fantasy Collection (Magical Romantic Comedies)
by Faith Hunter, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Devon Monk and R.J. Blain

Dirty Deeds: Urban Fantasy Collection is an anthology with novellas written by Faith Hunter, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Devon Monk and R.J. Blain.  I am a huge fan of Faith Hunter, and reading any novella or short story is a must for me.  I will write a short review on Hunter’s stories, revolving around her Jane Yellowrock series, and can only say that the other books are also part of their series, which I have not read.

 Description:
When the going gets tough, the tough get their hands dirty. Join NY Times Bestselling author Faith Hunter, USA Today Bestselling author R.J. Blain, and National Bestselling authors Diana Pharaoh Francis and Devon Monk on a wild romp where the damsels bring the distress and what can go wrong will go wrong.

Venture into a thrilling spinoff tale from the world of Jane Yellowrock; join vacationing gods in what appears to be a quiet, ordinary town; visit a supernatural hotel where the bedbugs could very well eat you; and dive into the zany, deadly world of the Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) series.

In this collection of all-new urban fantasy novellas and other stories, no job is too big or too small—if the price is right.

 

 

Review:

Bound Into Darkness by Faith Hunter
Bound into Darkness takes place between the last two novels in Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series; the story revolves around Eli Younger and Liz Everhardt. Liz has had a crush on Eli for a while, but after she was seriously injured, she has been in recovery and Eli has not been around.  When Liz gets a call for help to find a missing dog, she asks Eli to help her.   They head to the steep and dark mountain, looking for the dog, only to find Liz encountering a skeletal demon, who comes to life and wanting to possess her.  Liz manages to escape, with Eli’s help and together they build a hedge circle, but time is of essence, as the demon is trying to break through.  To make matters work, a group of rogue werewolves are on the way to kill them.  The question is:  who set this trap to have Liz killed and why?

What follows is an exciting, tense novella that kept my attention from start to finish.  The last half of the book was amazing, as we got to see many of our favorites try to rescue Eli and Liz; including Jane, Cia (Liz’s twin sister, also a witch), Alex, Brute, Lincoln, just to name a few.  We also learn who was behind this trap, which also gets explained more in the next short story; Ties That Bind. I really loved this new addition to the Jane Yellowrock series.

The Ties that Bind by Faith Hunter
Bedelia is the mother of Liz and Cia Everhardt, and she senses something is happening.  Linc Shadrock, who fathered her children, and whom she has not seen in many years, once he became the Master of his territory. When he visits Bedelia late night, he explains about the woman who is threatening to kill her daughters. The Mayhew witches blame Liz for killing one of their own, and they were behind the current attack.  Linc needs Bedelia’s help before he leaves to help save his daughters, with the help of Jane Yellowrock and team. 

Bedelia agrees to call in her witch friends, who had set up a circle from years before, and try to trap the Mayhew leader.  Once the ladies arrive at the circle and set up the trap, they find themselves under attack by both witches and werewolves. 

I enjoyed seeing how Linc loved Bedelia, and explained that he still loved her.  That was a nice addition.  Great short story.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 19,2020

Dan Noble is an old Vampire, perhaps the oldest in the world. One night on the prowl, he is inexplicably drawn to a plain-looking university student. But Nina Wright is not as boring as she seems: she meets Dan’s charm with the allure of her own, and the two share an unforgettable night. When Dan tries and fails to compel Nina to forget their encounter, he suspects that she is no ordinary human. And when a gang of bloodthirsty vampires singles her out for a vicious kidnapping, he realizes the girl he has fallen head over heels for may very well be a Human Immortal, a being of awesome power. Nina will be able to reclaim her supernatural gifts if she chooses a mate of her own lineage, Nature’s Immortals: a Dragon, Were, or Fae. As a Vampire, Dan would only stand in the way of her destiny.

Will he find the courage to give up his true love just as soon as he has found her?

Unveiling is Book 1 of the Mythical Creatures Series, in which powerful Immortal beings battle for justice in a magical world just beyond the veil of our own.

••••••••••

REVIEW: Dan is a vampire. Now, in this book his vampire side seems to be a separate entity, the vampire side can exist on bagged blood and animal blood, but insists on the real thing once a week! Dan agrees, but the victim has to be of his choosing. I get the impression, Dan likes them attractive, interesting and easy.

Nina is looking for a job on campus, it seems she wants to go to school in this area. But she’s running out of time, meeting a stranger and having a drink with him isn’t in the schedule, but one orange juice won’t hurt, and he’s a cute guy.

Meeting Nina in a bar, at first glance she is nothing like Dan’s usual type! But her smell is so unique and alluring that he decides she’s going to be his next meal! But getting Nina to agree isn’t as easy as he thinks, she’s not sure, she feisty and she’s no fool.
But with a little charm and good luck they have a drink, pay her dorm fees and then decide on dinner……

I loved the mythology the author has created at the beginning of the book. Who the mythical creatures are created, how the humans feared them, and now human females hold inside them great power.

We get they have sex, we don’t get the details, so I’d say it’s geared towards the YA bracket.

Dan tries to make Nina forget their time together, but for the first time ever it doesn’t work! But before he can figure it out, Nina is kidnapped!! Nina is just wondering what the hell is going on, a drink with a total stranger and now she’s tied up and headed god knows where, could her day get any worse?

Dan manages to track Nina down. Rescues her, but now she’s frightened! She doesn’t understand why she was taken.He now has the unpleasant task of telling her she’s an immortal and has gifts that no mere human has, but to tap into them she needs to mate with a supernatural, but one of her bloodline (were, fae, dragon) Nina wants to know why she can’t mate a vampire, Dan is both pleased and annoyed (well the vamp side of him is annoyed) pleased she’s listening, but annoyed she’s not going to be with him!

Setting off to see the elders is the only course of action left open to Nina, she’s intrigued, who would’ve want to become immortal? But sad it won’t be with Dan! But who says she has to mate? It’s her choice, but her past is what motivates her to meet the elders.

It is a little immature in places (reminds me of the twilight series) as an adult I liked the premise, I thought the narration was good. An adult version probably would have been more graphic (sex scenes ). But I’m interested in finding out more in this world.

Meeting the elders is another level of weird. She’s being prompted to meet and mate! But Nina only wants Dan….

So can Dan and Nina really be together? It would be simpler to mate one of her kind, but that wouldn’t make for a good story now would it? And the story is pretty good. Written really well, descriptions jump out from the page. Nina and Dan are really well thought out. Dan becoming dust to travel, using mind control and having a separate entity living inside him, some ideas are tried and tested, others are new ideas and really clever.

So sign me up for the next adventure, it’s going to be a good one I think. Why? Well ….. no you’re going to have to read the book to find out why.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 29 2020

In this final book of the Clandestine Magic trilogy, Beatrix Harper is poised to help her sister accomplish an audacious goal. They’re on the brink of winning back a key right for typics that wizards took away—and maybe, just maybe, getting women more rights in the bargain.

But first she has to rescue Peter Blackwell, trapped in a dark-magic coma. And figure out what a former friend is plotting after nearly killing Peter and disappearing. And stay one step ahead of the vice president’s men.

What her enemies have planned is worse than she realizes. Far worse.

••••••

REVIEW:REVOLUTIONARY is the third and final instalment in Colleen Cowley’s multi-genre CLANDESTINE MAGIC /paranormal/ UF/ Gaslamp fantasy series focusing on thirty-three year old, wizard/omnimancer Peter Blackwell, and his lab assistant suffragette Beatrix Harper. REVOLUTIONARY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book two RADICAL

NOTE: If you have not read book two RADICAL, there may be spoilers in my review.

SOME BACKGROUND: CLANDESTINE MAGIC is classified as ‘Gaslamp Fantasy’ – a sub-genre of both fantasy and historical fiction with elements of steampunk and the paranormal. The story line is set in an alternate 21st century, one in which the rise of feminism and equal rights has only just begun, and women are still considered second class citizens with no power, no magic and no rights. For decades wizards aka men, have controlled the world, using magic and the elements to increase their power and domination but subtle cracks begins to fragment their authority, and a magical weapon commissioned by our story line hero is needed to regulate the users of magic.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Beatrix and Peter) REVOLUTIONARY picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two RADICAL wherein omnimancer/wizard Peter Blackwell, following a deadly blast, has been hospitalized, and Beatrix Harper fears for his life. Struggling to keep food on the table, our heroine must go in search of a new job, as her sister Lydia reconsiders her own education. Lydia, a modern day suffragette is fighting for women’s rights, rights forbidden by the wizards in charge but with both Peter and Beatrix’s help, hundreds of women have discovered that not only are they able to wield magic, but some or more capable than the wizards in control. As Peter continues his recovery, our hero will quickly learn that he has been targeted for ‘sins’ of the past, and without his cooperation, the life of the woman he loves, hangs in the balance. What ensues is the continuing and building relationship between Beatix and Peter, and the fall-out as several members of government are battling for control, in an effort to start a war with their Canadian neighbors.

REVOLUTIONARY and Clandestine Magic is an intricate and perceptive story line; an alternate tale of misogyny, discrimination, power and control wherein men and magic rule, and women are considered nothing more than second class citizens. As the women begin to fight for equal rights, their ability to wield magic proves that years of suffering had been at the hands of the men in charge-wizards who refused to step down from their position in power. The premise is dramatic, thorough, intriguing, unique and entertaining; the romance is passionate. Colleen Cowley pulls the reader into an intense and magical story reflective of society as a whole.

Grave War by Kalayna Price – a Review

Grave War by Kalayna Price – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:

Grave witch Alex Craft has forged an uneasy truce with the world of Faerie, but she’s still been trying to maintain at least some semblance of a normal life in the human world. So it’s safe to say that stepping up as the lead investigator for the Fae Investigation Bureau was not a career path she ever anticipated taking.

When an explosion at the Eternal Bloom threatens to upend the fae who make their home in our world, Alex finds herself in charge of the most far reaching investigation she’s ever tackled. And it’s only her first week on the job. With the threats mounting and cut off from half her allies, Alex can’t wait on the sidelines and hope the fae’s conflicts stay contained within their borders.

 

 

Review:

Grave War by Kalayna Price is the 7th and final book in her Alex Craft series. Refresher:  Alex is a grave witch, using her ability to rise the dead to talk to them, as well as learning her new planeweaver abilities.   After the end of the previous book, Falin is now the Winter King, and Alex has become the agent in charge of FIB (Fae Investigation Bureau).

Her first week on the job turns into chaos, as some of the agents in FIB now under her command, do not really respect her.  Alex begins to receive roses from an unknown source, with hints from various things going wrong; she suspects a former enemy is behind this. An explosion destroys the Eternal Bloom and the doors to enter Fairie; forcing many of the fae who live in the mortal world, unable to return to Fairie, and could thereby over time lose their magical abilities.  Desperate for help, she tries to contact Dugan, from the Shadow realm, and just when she sees an opening, she is kidnapped.  Turns out her enemy, the one she suspected, Ryese is behind the chaos and destruction.

What follows is an exciting and intense story that takes place in the mortal world, as well as in Fairie land.  Dugan and Falin manage to get Alex free bringing her to Shadow land.  There are so many twists and turns, keeping us guessing until the very end.  I loved seeing Alex with Falin, as well as her friendship with Dugan, and his father as they work together to find a way to stop Ryese, who is trying to become the High King ruling all of Fairie.  Alex worries about her friends either stuck in Fairie or in the mortal world, and her fears for all the Fae who have no way home.  It was very exciting, especially when she managed to get pulled into the High Court, and find a way to defeat her enemy and save the world.

This is a complicated review, as it would require giving spoilers, and since this is the final book of the series, I do not want to ruin it for you.  Grave War was an exciting, action packed, interesting and wild adventure, as Alex must stop a powerful enemy.  Kalayna Price pulls a mind boggling twist at the end, that was a totally surprise, but at the same time a very satisfying conclusion to this series.  It was great to see many of her friends, including Death. Alex Craft series was lots of fun and very well written by Kalayna Price. If you have not read this series, and enjoy paranormal, I suggest you read this.

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World #3 – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play /

Description:
Daegan and his people race across different continents to battle deadly Imortiks while a Tribunal issues kill-on-sight orders for Beladors. In Ireland, Daegan comes face-to-face with a dragon from his past who has waited a long time to kill him. Casidhe and Daegan take a leap of faith for a chance to find a hidden grimoire and everything changes between them.

*This is a 9-book spinoff series for first-time readers as well as current Belador fans.  All 9 books will release within a year and be available in e-book, print, and audiobooks.

 

Review:

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World: Book 3 is the 3rd book in The Chronicles of the Belador World (9 book arc). Refresher: Daegan and his team are attacked by Immortiks, who were supposed dead many years ago. Daegan is desperate to save his Beladors, with many being held prisoners, with the threat of death if he can’t find the missing ‘grimoire, volumes.  The information on the Immortiks and the grimoire is difficult to find, as it dates back thousands of years ago

 When we left off in book 2, Daegon finally finds Casidhe, who is an ancient Luigsech researcher, who is able to read the grimoire volumes with others also want. They will begin to work together, though early on they do not get along or trust each other.  I still see possibilities of a slow burn romance in the far future. When Casidhe manages to find more information, they approach an oracle, who will send them on a mission to find the grimoire and other things.  Do they trust the oracle?

While Daegon is off in another world, Quinn is desperate to protect Reese from the demons she attracts, and also has to answer to the Tribunal, who do not want to listen to him.  Tristan is now free, but recovering from serious injuries on Treior, and all hell is breaking loose all over.  Close to the end we get another new person, which could change the game for all. 

This is a difficult review to give without giving spoilers, as these are short stories and saying too much would be too revealing; not mention each book ends in a cliffhanger. You truly do need to read these books in cohesion.  What follows is an exciting, tense, suspenseful, paranormal adventure, with some of our favorites helping each other out, especially when the Tribunal starts to threaten them. If you are new and love paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, romance, great characters, you should be reading Dianna Love.

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World: #2 by Dianna Love

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple

Description:
Daegan is running out of time to find the destructive dragon impersonating him and the woman who claims to be the Treoir family squire, but Casidhe has no intention of being caught. She’s racing to find her best friend believed captured by a deadly being. With Atlanta reeling from supernaturals being revealed, the Beladors are battling to protect humans while losing their own to Imortiks possessing any warm body, human or nonhuman. Hunting answers in Ireland lands Tristan somewhere he quickly realizes epitomizes a fate worse than death. Cathbad visits Queen Maeve to gain access to her resources, but the meeting turns explosive and costs him more than he could have imagined.

Imortiks drawn to the venom in Daegan’s body are draining his powers when he needs them most. With Beladors awaiting execution in Atlanta and Tristan still to be found, Daegan goes all in to gain information. Choosing the lesser of two evils means still ending up with one.

 

 

Review:

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World: Book 2 is the 2nd book in the 9 book arc of this series. Refresher: Daegan and his team are attacked by Immortiks, who were supposed dead many years ago. Even though Daegan is a bit disabled, but many are being held prisoners, with the threat of death if he can’t find the missing ‘grimoire’, volumes.  With Tristan now captured by another evil entity trying to find the volumes, Daegan must find help. The information on the Immortiks and the grimoire is difficult to find, as it dates back thousands of years ago

 When we left off in book 1, Daegon is desperate to save his people from the Imortiks, especially Tristan, who is captured by a familiar evil being.  In book 2, Daegon is in dire straits, himself trying to recover from the poisoning, as well as a strange and mysterious woman who wields a big sword and manages to escape him.  Casidhe is an ancient Luigsech researcher, who is able to read the grimoire volumes what others also want, but she only cares about her friend Fenella, who is now missing. 

Daegon will bring in Quinn and Reese to help him find Casidhe, as he needs her to help, as well as finding out who has kidnapped Tristan, as time is of essence to save him.  Casidhe doesn’t trust Daegon (since she does not know who he really is), but eventually she is willing to help Daegon, but only if he will help her find Fenella.  They both get off on the wrong foot, with constant tension and arguing between them.  I suspect in upcoming books we may see them become romantically involved, as we can sense their budding chemistry.  The POV’s continue with Daegan, the evil Cathbad and also Casidhe. We also learn from Quinn, that Reese is keeping a secret, which we will learn more about in upcoming books.

This is a difficult review to write without giving spoilers, as these are short stories and saying too much would be too revealing. You truly do need to read these books in cohesion.  What follows is an exciting, tense, suspenseful, paranormal adventure. It is great to see many of our favorites from the Belador series make appearances to help Daegon and find the grimoire.   If you are new and love paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, romance, great characters, you should be reading Dianna Love.
