Review: The Blue Dragon's War: an epic fantasy story

The Blue Dragon's War: an epic fantasy story The Blue Dragon's War: an epic fantasy story by Sean Newton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I read the first book in this series, and I loved it. I was a little disappointed in the editing of this book, however. There were words used mistakenly, such as, loose for lose, and similar errors. The story was great, and the characters were well fleshed out. There was quite a bit of fighting, which I love when it comes to fantasy stories. I will continue to read this series, because of the world and character building, but I hope the next installment is better edited.

Review: The Dragon King

The Dragon King The Dragon King by Anthony Russo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I loved this short story. For this story to be so short, so many things happened. I was hooked from the first page. Anthony Russo and Alberto Bieri did an amazing job of creating a fantasy world. The world building was spectacular. I felt like I was amid the world the authors described. The character growth was amazing, and I felt as if I knew the characters personally. I'm eagerly waiting for more from these two authors.

Review: Cara's Twelve

Cara's Twelve Cara's Twelve by Chantel Seabrook
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I was excited about reading this story, but the more I read the more I disliked it. The lead character was a confused teenager that never learned anything on her way to becoming queen. This story had a lot of romance, which is not my cup of tea. I probably could have finished this book, if it weren't so horribly written. It is in dire need of editing. There were words where words shouldn't be, and words missing, or words repeated. The more I read the worse the writing became. The only recommendation that I can make is that people who enjoy romance might like this book.

Review: Nightwise

Nightwise Nightwise by R.S. Belcher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. When I started this book, I wasn't familiar with Chakra, secret societies, and some of the darkness within the pages of this book. I had to do some research on some of the topics, but once I familiarized myself, this book was easy to follow. It was, to me, a very dark story with action and suspense. While reading this story, my mind associated this book, if just a bit, with Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. The story was fairly well written, though it was slow to start since I wasn't familiar, but this story pulled me in the more I read.

Review: The Twelve

The Twelve The Twelve by Victoria Perkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked the way this book was written. It went back and forth with the two main characters telling their stories throughout the book with their stories intertwining. This book started off strong, but as the story progressed, it turned into a love story, which is not my cup of tea. It was written fairly well, but had some editing issues. I recommend this book to readers of love stories.

Review: Baad Dog

Baad Dog Baad Dog by Sal Conte
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This story started off strong, but as it progressed it lost some of the suspense that drew me in in the first place. I was disappointed in the ending. I felt it was a little rushed compared to the strong start. Also, this book needed some editing.

Review: Dragon's Future

Dragon's Future Dragon's Future by Kandi J. Wyatt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Kandi J. Wyatt did a wonderful job creating a world full of intrigue. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I loved the writing style, though this book needs to be edited. There were grammatical errors throughout the book. If not for the editing problem, this would have been an easy five stars for me. I'm looking forward to the next installment, though I hope there will be better editing.

Review: The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel

The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel by Ellen Herrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I LOVED this story! This is one of the best books that I have read in a while. I have not read a story that elicited so many emotions in a very long time. The characters captured my heart, as well as the story. The characters were so real to life, and their dialogue was so believable that I could just picture these characters so easily. I am eagerly awaiting the next Sparrow Sisters novel. There were a few grammatical errors, but in no way did they hinder the flow of this story. If it weren't for these errors, this would have easily been a five star review. Since Goodreads doesn't allow half stars, I had to give this book four stars, but my rating is actually four and a half stars for this incredible tale. I highly recommend this book.

My Review of The Hunter Awakens (The Morus Chronicles) I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were well fleshed out. The dialogue between characters was well done. There were twists that I wasn't expecting that made this book hard to put down. I'm eager to read the next installment to find out more about these characters. I definitely recommend this adventure.

Review: Midnight Outbreak

Midnight Outbreak Midnight Outbreak by Brandy Jeffus Corona
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. For starters, the characters in this book were well fleshed out. I felt as if I really got to know each character. I did feel that the book was far too rushed, and I would have liked more of the story. There were a few grammatical errors, but not enough to interfere with the flow of the story.

Review: Killers and Demons

Killers and Demons Killers and Demons by A.F. Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed Killers and Demons. The short stories grabbed you and took you into dark places where the characters were intense. I was looking around the room, while reading, just to make sure I was not being watched. These stories definitely made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. This is one book not to be miss.

Review: Fairy Tale Fusion

Fairy Tale Fusion Fairy Tale Fusion by A.F. Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book immensely. A.F. Stewart gave the familiar fairy tale characters a dark side, and it was quite the treat. It was written well, except for a couple of typos, but that does not stop the enjoyment that I felt reading these tales. I highly recommend this book.
