Shaman, Sister, Sorceress by M. Terry Green

SHAMAN.SISTER.SORSERESS

Title: Shaman, Sister, Sorceress Rating:  Author: M. Terry Green Genre: Adult/Urban Fantasy/Supernatural Publisher:  Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Release Date: September 28, 2012 Review: This is the third book in the Olivia Lawson, Techno-Shaman series. I read and enjoyed the first two installments, and I would highly recommend reading the series from the beginning before starting this one. I really enjoy this author’s writing style. Her lead character Livvy is terrific, and she has a real talent for vividly portraying alternate worlds – in this case, the multiverse. As the title of the series implies, Livvy is a shaman who must … Continue reading

Troll or Derby by @RedTashBooks

TrollDerby

Title: Troll or Derby Rating:  Genre: YA Fantasy Publisher: Amazon Release Date: June 14, 2012 The final stop of the blog tour! Click the image to buy! Review: From the get-go, I was hooked. I’m a huge sucker for stories that are original and break free from the cookie cutters we’ve grown to know and love. Like Gina Damico, Tash does a great job of implanting humor so that Troll or Derby isn’t just another YA fantasy/romance. The first character we meet is McJagger. Seriously. While roller Deb isn’t your average heroine, she fell a little short for me. There … Continue reading

Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer (@cramer_scott)

purplemoon

If I had to choose five words to describe this book, they would be intelligent, innocent, mature, poignant and engaging. Night of the Purple Moon tells the story of a group of pre-pubescent kids who are left parentless after a deadly comet passes through Earth.  For months everyone has been looking forward to seeing the comet pass through and Abby Leigh and her family are no exception.  They’ve talked about it at school and over dinner and so finally, when the night arrives, everyone takes their ringside seats to witness the experience. Little do they know that with such beauty … Continue reading

After Ever by Jillian Eaton

after ever

After Ever starts as a fresh and feisty novel that caught my attention from the get-go. Winnie, the protagonist, has a sharp tongue and an even sharper inner monologue that sets her apart from the other, somewhat generic female leads and this is what made this story interesting.  Her dislike for her dad’s girlfriend brought some humour to what, essentially, were pretty dire circumstances.  Girlfriend #3 is a bad excuse for a step mother and it’s Winnie that plays guardian to her little brother, Brian. When her dad takes the family off for a winter holiday, Winnie can think of … Continue reading

The Emerald Isle by @kate_hinderer

emerald-isle-cover-200

In a genre that is wildly saturated with vampires, werewolves, zombies and dystopian hierarchies that make armys out of their offspring and/or send them to fight for survival; I am always on the lookout for something different to keep my imagination entertained. And so I was relieved to find that Emerald Isle by Kate Hinderer is about a different race of mythological creatures. Welcome to the world of the Mermaids. Or, Mermen to be precise. Two of them. And they are both vying for the attention of our protagonist, Audyn. Audyn is working on Fascination Island – a high brow … Continue reading

Torn by Stephanie Guerra

Torn

Title: Torn Rating:  Genre: YA Publisher:  Amazon Release Date: May 2012 Review: Like this books title, I was very torn about how I felt after reading it. The young adult in me liked this book.

Stella has to deal with some heavy issues in her last year of High School while she struggles with doing the right thing which could potentially ruin the best friendship she’s ever … Continue reading
