Everbound by @Brodiashton
Title: Everbound Rating: Author: Brodi Ashton Genre: YA/Fantasy/Paranormal/Romance/Mythology Publisher: Balzer + Bray Release Date: January 22, 2013 Review: I didn’t think it was possible for me to enjoy Everbound more than Everneath, the first book of this trilogy, but I did. I really, really did! Those of you who tend to shy away from trilogies, rest assured, Everbound defies that dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’. Ashton also does a formidable job of refreshing our memories about the events from book 1 without the dreaded ‘info dump’ that inevitably bogs down the first half of some books. Nikki firmly establishes herself as … Continue reading

Arcadia Burns by Kai Meyer
Title: Arcadia Burns Rating: Genre: YA / Supernatural Release Date: February 12, 2013 Publisher: Balzer + Bray Review: The the second book of the Arcadia trilogy, I was happy to see that Rosa grew up a little bit. As head of her clan, a job she never wanted, she learns to be independent and protect her own – even if that includes a Carnevare. Alessandro is just as frustratingly chivalrous as he was in the first book, but this time both Rosa and Alessandro get to keep secrets. Rosa’s plight into her own memory – the memory of that night – … Continue reading

The Star Child by Stephanie Keyes
Title: The Star Child Rating: ★★★ Genre: YA / Supernatural / Mythology Publisher: Inkspell Release Date: September 21, 2012 Review: Because of the mix of Irish and Welsh mythology, I was really interested in The Star Child. I loved the basic plotline, but, overall, it was an okay read for me. Kellan, while precocious (graduating Yale at the age of 17), was sweet and kind, lovable in all aspects. The tense relationship between Kellan and his father and brother was believable and my heart went out to him for trying so hard only to be shut down time and time … Continue reading

Time’s Daughter by Anya Breton
Title: Time’s Daughter Rating: ★★★ Genre: YA / Supernatural Publisher: Smashwords Release Date: April 19, 2012 Review: I stumbled upon Time’s Daughter while I perusing Smashwords one day looking for something to read that didn’t make me want to pull out my hair. When I found Time’s Daughter, I couldn’t have been more pleased. Often, self-published works get a bad reputation, but Anya Breton proves that self-publishing sometimes rolls out some diamonds among heaps of coal. What I Loved: 1. Character Development. I loved that Aeon didn’t know about her powers and that she stumbled upon them while she was … Continue reading

The Emerald Isle by @kate_hinderer
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
