From the outside, Brent Halston and Jordan McKenna had the perfect life: the house, the dog, fulfilling careers, and their love. However, Jordan’s past refused to leave her alone, threatening to destroy all they had built together. Without explanation, Jordan pushed Brent out of her life, leaving him devastated and confused. In an attempt to start over, Brent relocated to Fairfield Corners, bought an extravagant house, and mourned the loss of his Jojo. To keep herself from drowning in her own grief, Jordan gave everything she had to her career as a doctor, running the free clinic on the rough side of town. As the holiday season approached, a frantic phone call from Jordan’s brother pulled Brent back into Jordan’s life, giving them the opportunity to reconnect. Battling the past and present, their love must survive secrets and betrayal, giving them one last chance to be together.

Gimme more!!!

I really enjoyed getting Brent’s story. Like with all the books in the Fairfield Corner’s books this one, while a quick short read was full of mystery and suspense.

Loved getting to know Jordan and seeing the other characters from previous books.

My thing was I wanted so much more!!! I wanted more Jordan & Brent, but I get that it is just a novella which means short story.

I’m very hopeful that we’ll be getting more stories from the Fairfield Corner’s residents.

November 12, 2052: Earth has lost two-thirds of its population to the Great War. Many more lives have been lost to earthquakes, the Clover Virus, and the Death Plague. Years later, survivors are clumped into factions. Two of those factions—the Brotherhood and the Guild Faction—have battled over medical supplies and food for years. The fight is coming to a head as manpower dwindles, and the struggle becomes one to gain numbers, even if said numbers are children…
Griffin Storm, an albino man kidnapped and dragged into the Brotherhood, has transformed into a G.O.D., a Genetically enhanced Omni-dimensional being. Two weeks in the brig, and Griffin’s released after it’s determined that he’s learned to control most of his god-like abilities. His abilities have grown almost as much as his love for Tassta Vinetti and his unfortunate bloodlust. His bond with Tassta’s twin brother, Penn, has grown as well and is cemented in secrets.
Not disappointed!
Griffin, having earned the trust of Fortress authorities, is set to be released from The Brig, much to the delight of Tassta, his sweetheart. Although Griffin still has a lot to learn about balancing his newfound abilities against his inherent humanity, overall he does well and has enough control over his abilities to prevent caving into his inner desires. As his and Tassta’s romance heats up, Griffin gets the horrifying news soon after his release, Griffin’s told that Guild agents and the notorious Trips (super-agents of the Guild) are in the Underground. He must now test his abilities to save the abandoned children that live there. Will Griffin rescue the children of the Underground from a tragic end? Will Tassta and Griffin’s love survive such turmoil? Can a G.O.D. forgive himself when death and destruction follow his every move? Read Blood Phase, the gripping second book in the G.O.D.s Series!

Brilliant!!! Amazing!!!
By Romaine Heart

Book 2 of the G.O.D. Series is amazing.
The characters of Blood Master flows into Blood Phase with ease. More in depth of these young maturing characters, their responsibilities, and struggles of ensuring the safety of everyone at the fortress as well as raiding warehouses and stores for food and essentials.
Griffin has to learn to control his abilities and temper as a demigod otherwise he could create destruction. It’s hard for him to control the human aspect since he was abused by the Guild Faction through their experiments. He’s never felt grief, vengeance or unconditional love.
He often sees visions of himself releasing the Blood Rain which could destroy not only the fortress but everyone in it. He lusts for blood and is learning the blood phases.
Tassta, the only female Guardian, constantly shows Griffin her unconditional love.
Penn has a cute caveman mentality. Cute and witty. Maturing as a young adult.
Who will deceive Griffin? Dean, the head scientist, or Lenin, the Regulator of the Brotherhood?
Zade is a ruthless Trip of the Guild Faction. He took care of Griffin during the experiments. Comforting him but still allowed the experiments to continue. He will do anything to get Griffin back.
My heart goes out to Griffin with his struggles and frustrations. He’s aware he has to prove himself not only to the others but mostly to himself.
I’m volunteering a review for an advanced reader’s copy.

The Rosinanti Dragons are no more. Since their extinction nearly one thousand years ago these primal powerhouses have fallen into the obscurity of history’s forgotten lore. In that time, humans have come to dominate the world of Terra, peacefully ignorant to one horrifying truth: ancient evil stirs around them, waiting to reclaim its lost world.
For Valentean Burai, animus warrior of the kingdom of Kackritta, the details surrounding humanity’s victory over the Rosinanti are more than just a history lesson. The long-buried mysteries of this archaic conflict may hold the answers that he has so desperately sought regarding his own past.
As the awful truth of the Rosinanti’s supposed demise comes to light, Valentean must stand together with Seraphina, a magically gifted princess, to embark upon a mission to maintain order and light throughout Terra. Only together can these two lifelong friends face down the resurgence of the Rosinanti legacy, and combat the greatest threat their world has ever known.

The Rise of the Dragon Lord has been my favorite book in the series

So far, The Rise of the Dragon Lord has been my favorite book in the series. Kessler’s evocative writing in this book will pull the full spectrum of emotions from you—from abject terror to empathy and unceasing hope, and above all, love. All along, the series has been leading us to the climactic battle for Terra and continues to do so in a thrilling and captivating way. As with Wrath of the Faithful, the best part of this story is the characters themselves and the personal journey each must take as they tackle heavy choices and consequences. I eagerly await the next installment in this series.

Beautiful Coloring Book!

J.S. Burke’s Fantasy Snowflakes Coloring Book is a unique and beautiful coloring/activity workbook. It contains snowflake designs inspired by the meditative practice of mandala drawing and by the events and characters from the author/artist’s science fantasy children’s Dragon Dreamer series. Each snowflake pattern is accompanied by facts about the animal or plant featured in the design and occasionally references quotations from the series. At the end of the book, the designs are re-featured as ornament-sized drawings, so one might color, laminate, and hang in a window or on a tree.

I love all of the designs, but my favorites are the Tree-of-life, Mangrove Roots, and the Edelweiss Fairy snowflakes. I am, however, a bit concerned about coloring in the smaller ornament versions, as one would need a very fine pointed medium with which to color in the details. But, I still love the ornament concept, even if I wish they were slightly bigger.

I would recommend this to any child or adult who loves to color and loves craft making. It may even inspire you to learn more about The Dragon Dreamer books.

Another great Carson Reno story! Carson is now on the other side of the law, or at least that’s the way it looks. It’s a great new story for Carson, and full of unpredictable twists and mysteries. I am a big fan of Darnell and of course, Carson, so I was very excited to read this new story. It’s one of my favorites of the series, but of course, Carson is one of my favorite characters. It’s a hard-hitting, magnificent bout of storytelling. Couldn’t put it down until the end!

CAPTAIN EVE STONE, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS JTAC
I am an American soldier, serving the people of the United States of America. I am a warrior. I am trained and disciplined mentally and physically. I am an expert and a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and to destroy the enemy. I will never accept defeat. And that is why after nearly twenty years of serving my country and having my identity, my memory, my life, and my one true love stolen from me, I will fight with everything in me to get him back, to remember who I really am.
Almost twenty years have gone by since I was injured in an accident while serving in the United States Air Force. My family, friends, and fiancé were informed I had died. I lost everything. Until now.
It was a chance encounter. While on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines in Iraq, he found me, the only man I’ve ever loved, SSgt Wyatt Powell. But I don’t remember him. You see, I’m a cyborg now. My human side is at war with my machine side because my human side remembers. I have a new identity and a new mission. I will get my life back, and I will make Wyatt fall in love with me again. And I will seek and destroy those who did this to me. I am Captain Eve Stone, and I am a Soldier of Destruction.
SSGT WYATT POWELL, MERCENARY SOLDIER OF KNIGHTS INC.
I can’t believe it’s her. When she died, it nearly destroyed me. Now I’m facing the fact that she’s been alive all this time, but she’s changed. She’s a cyborg with a new identity, and I’m not the same man she fell in love with. I’ve seen and done things that I cannot undo.
I have memories of how we used to be, of the all-consuming love we once shared, back before I had traversed the depths of hell. Before I lost my soul and willingly became a cyborg soldier for Knights Inc., a private mercenary army for hire, fighting for and protecting important assets of the United States. We do the dirty work no one else will, behind enemy lines in the most dangerous parts of the world, and on American soil. We go where even the bravest of the brave would not dare to go.
We have a new mission: find others like Captain Eve Stone and stop whoever is stealing the lives of American soldiers and turning them into cyborgs against their will. This I will do. I will hunt down those bastards and make them pay. I owe her this, even though I’ve reached the point of no return. I owe her my help in getting her life back, even if I no longer belong in it.
I can’t go back to the way we were, and I don’t know how to go forward, or if I even want to. She would hate the man I’ve become. I’m no longer worthy of her. I am the Dragon, a Knight of Destruction.

Action Packed Sequel
By Kiera Jayne
In the first Soldiers of Destruction book, we received an in-depth character study of Katica’s past with Wyatt Powell, the love of her life and the things that lead up to her becoming Eve Stone, a cyborg super soldier. In this, Knights of Destruction, we move into the present day. This installment is much more action-packed than the first, which focused more on the love story between the leaves. While it is still prevalent here, the major part of the novel explores Katica/Eve’s powers, for want of a better word. The different sides of Eve/Katica come into play, and I love seeing these different sides of two very different characters in one body, it’s very much a spilled personality thing happening here. Wyatt Powell is stoic and powerful— an incredible character in himself. This is an outstanding series, and I look forward to the next installment.

Lightning illuminates the inside of what was, only moments before, the back of a taxi cab. When the door opens, she’s greeted by a handsome man dressed like he stepped out of the past. In shock, she realizes that she’s somehow traveled back in time– …and she has no idea how to return.

Delightful story

This was a very delightful story with all the mixed time lines, unique vocabulary, romance ahead of sex, and feelings instead of conjecture.

Troianne is a messed up woman trying to find the answers, the men, and the way to live life. She may be rich, a bit scattered brained, but I found her quite lovable and genuine.

I enjoyed the 1800 and 1900 hundreds and wish I had lived back then.

Take a fun ride by falling into this story.

Sailing the seas with pirates lurking about helped chisel her character as she created a life of her own near the sea.
Explore the scenic countries with Leah and learn about the native cultures and taste their delicacies. As a mixed race female, she placed prejudices under her feet and learned to recognize and accept love even if it was against the law.

A fast-paced adventure

This was a fun-filled, fast-paced adventure. The main character, Leah was enjoyable and spirited, and I liked following her escapades on the ocean and in search of love.

A great tale of someone overcoming the odds and stepping out of her comfort zone to grow as a person.

Thank you to the author for sharing her book, I am reviewing it voluntarily.

What a fantastic story!

This is a great book with a great storyline. It was very interesting “hearing” each characters thoughts when they saw someone and how they interact with each other. It was amazing when they actually did meet and talk to each other. I really enjoyed the suspense, and once I got into the story, I couldn’t stop reading. The was a lot of detail to each of the scenes so you could almost picture yourself there.
