Review for Demon Stones Saga Volume 1 by Raven M. Williams


Demon Stones Saga
Volume 1
Raven M. Williams

Blurb:

Will the Stones' Guardians succeed in fulfilling the prophecy, or will Darkness finally Gain Dominion over the Earth?

During the time the Elves lived on Earth, it was discovered some humans had magical abilities, but were untrained in how to use them. The Elves took on this task, and when the humans' time with the Elves was over, Valael created stones for each of the women of Raven Coven. It was then the Ancient Witch Line was born.

Down through the ages, the magic and the stones were passed from mother to daughter. Not only did they enhance the magic of each of the women who wore them, they would glow whenever evil was near. For this reason, they became known as the Demon Stones. Many coveted the stones, but they only worked for those tasked with protecting them.

As with all things, the legend of these stones fell into obscurity. Then, many centuries later, they were discovered once more. By some, through the discovery of a human who bears one, for others, through a prophecy foretold. 

With this revelation, the first stone’s bearer sets out to find, not only her own stone, but the rest of the stones and their guardians. Where this quest will take her remains to be seen.


Review:
This is a great continuation after the Realm Jumper Chronicles! More action and excitement and more evil lurking! Vaduxach the demon dies in the other series and now his place has been taken by his and the witch Cassie's daughter, Aisabahl. She seems just as prone to tempers and wanting to do things her way as much as her parents. That's the thing about demons, they all seem to have their own agendas. An interesting twist to the whole thing is the Vampire Queen. She has her own agenda too, and I'm just not sure how things will play out with her. A few new characters are introduced and some old faces show up as well. It's a good mix. It was also really interesting watching some of the girls adjusting to life on Earth. They have never drove a car or had bank accounts. And the spies! It's almost comical the amount of spying that is going on, but the various layers of who is manipulating who or what is put together really well. All in all, I really enjoyed it!! 5 out of 5 stars!

Review:
First of all, I am wondering whether there will be another in this series because I really like it. Modern day with a magical twist. Book 2 was a great read! As usual, Rogan is like the every day hero that can be overlooked for one reason or another but he is Keisha's rock and is there for her no matter what. But he fears that his past will drive her away. Keisha herself is a strong character and things are changing rapidly for her in this book. And among all that change is the element of danger and the unknown. It gives the book even more of a twist. Dash is an eccentric, but lovable, character I would love to know more about. Jack is also another great one. I love not only the main characters, but the lessers as well. They round the story out well!
5 out of 5 stars!

Review for How I Magically Messed Up My Life In 4 Freakin Days


How I Magically Messed Up My Life in 4 Freakin Days
Megan O'Russell

Blurb:

Ever wanted to grow a five-story tall flower in central park? How about fight a deadly battle under the subway tunnels of Manhattan? 

Don't worry. I never wanted to either. But if you're ever being chased by ladies made of mist and you have to save the girl with the sparkly eyes you've never had the guts to say actual words to, there's an app for that.

I found a magic cell phone, opened an app I shouldn't have, burned down the set shop for my high school's theatre, and it was all downhill from there. A drag queen seer who lives under a bridge is my only hope for keeping my mom alive, and I think the cops might be after me for destroying my dad's penthouse.

But it gets better! Now I'm stuck being the sidekick to the guy who got me into this mess in the first place. It'll be a miracle if I survive until Monday.


Review:
I rather enjoyed reading this book! Full of magic and danger, even though it is a YA read, I was thoroughly entertained. And it seems pretty accurate of teens. In fact, so much so that I wouldn't recommend it for young teens but only due to the language in it. Bryant, Elizabeth, and Devon end up on quite a harrowing journey and all because they found a cell phone in a cab and decided to return it to the owner. Just that one thing led to a whole string of insane events that put everyone in danger and brought them a new and unexpected ally. There is so much I want to know about the characters though. Who is Bryant's dad exactly? Do wizards age normally in this series? What were the purple flames? Does the giant flower ever go away? Who exactly is Thaden? What's Lola's story? Her thoughts on the group were quite interesting, leading me to wonder about Devon. Bryant seems pretty cut and dried when it comes to what he is, but not Devon. I would love to read more of their adventures!
5 out of 5 stars!

Author Bio

Growing up I was the reader of my family. Always had my nose in a book. When I wasn't reading I was playing pretend with my older brothers and friends. So I guess you could say that adventure has always been in my blood.
I have always enjoyed writing. My mother actually would make me write all the time to help improve my penmanship. I never left the house without a notebook and pen. I knew that I was going to be an author and finally being able to live my dream has been awesome.
With my first book No Faith, No Trust, Just Pixie Dust I hope that everyone gets to see what kind of writer I am and get lost in the world I have created for them.

New Release and Review for In The Presence Of Knowing by Valarie Savage Kinney


In The Presence Of Knowing
by Valarie Savage Kinney

Blurb:

Keisha is pregnant and on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Hiding out at Windy Springs Renaissance Festival, she discovers a world of magic. 
Stepping into new and unfamiliar territory, she finds herself among people different from any she’s met before. Though she feels she’ll never fit in, Keisha finds hope when she meets Rogan, who plays the troll. As friendship blossoms into romance, she soon discovers that Rogan, as well as others at Windy Springs, have abilities beyond the average individual – abilities that the child growing within her shares as well. When danger comes to Windy Springs, she’ll need the combined powers of Rogan and his friends to keep her and the baby safe. 
In the Presence of Knowing is the first book in the Secrets of Windy Springs series. Grab your copy today and find out what mysteries await within the magical forest at Windy Springs.


Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this new book by the author. It combines supernatural elements with a renaissance fair type of event and creates a magical atmosphere that I was easily lost in. I sat down and read the whole thing in one evening. Keisha's story sucked me right in. I love how strong her character is and yet she shows her vulnerabilities and the want to have someone be strong for her for once. Rogan is such a kind and compassionate soul. He is a great character that brings a romantic spin to the book. Captain Dash might be one of my favorites in the entire book. He is very strange, but also fun and loyal. There's more to him than meets the eye. As for the witch, I would like to know more about her story as well as this thing with Layla and Jack. Such a great read! Can't wait to see what's next!
5 out of 5 stars!

Blog Tour for Grimm Remains by Eli Celata


Grimm remains.jpg

Blog Tour ~ Grimm Remains Author: Eli Celata Genre: Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Dates: 11th – 21st of April Hosted by: Ultimate Fantasy Book Tours 

cover.jpg 

Blurb: 
Sometimes the fairy tale's end is just the Grimm beginning. Mammon’s summoning turned Rochester into a beacon for the denizens of Hell. As demon activity increases, Jon settles in for a new academic year, and Jordan moves in as the city’s protector. Unfortunately, the young warlock of Rochester might not be around long if the Devil’s marine legion has a say. Havfine, demonic mermaids, don’t often leave deep lakes and ocean waters. They’re better known for drowning mortal sailors than hunting magic users, but something has sent them upstream from Lake Ontario. When three orphans vanish from a magical sanctuary in Toronto, their caretaker – the Wizard Monday – dredges up a part of Jordan’s and Jon’s father’s history that Jordan would have rather forgotten. In this race against the Bane of Hamelin, more than three souls may be on the line.

Blog Tour for The Pine Forest by Michelle Dare


One touch, one spark, two lives forever changed.
Pine and Azure. The war between the two kingdoms lasted far too long. Peace was finally established, but the survivors would never forget who fought on the front lines. Oliver Sage had a reputation for being a ruthless knight. He’d seen enough death to last a lifetime and worked on putting the past behind him, although not all would let him forget.
Addison was the only daughter of King and Queen Azure. With three brothers, she knew she’d always be protected, but she also wanted to learn how to take care of herself. She was strong, had a good heart, and wanted to be treated as an equal. Magical abilities ran in her family, and she had one no one knew of.
Oliver had given his heart to one princess, until the night he dreamed of another. Addison was the last woman he should desire, especially given who she was. However, what if she wanted him as well? They’d hated each other their entire lives, but suddenly couldn’t resist the desire which built between them. There were also those who didn’t think they should be together. Forbidden romance could only stay hidden for so long in the dark depths of the Pine Forest.

Book One
Michelle Dare is a romance author. Her stories range from sweet to sinful and from new adult to fantasy. There aren’t enough hours in the day for her to write all of the story ideas in her head. When not writing or reading, she’s a wife and mom living in eastern Pennsylvania. One day she hopes to be writing from a beach where she will never have to see snow or be cold again.
