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.

A marvelous and fantastic journey, enjoy little-known history crafted with original, brilliant, unforgettable moments, unforgettable characters, and an unforgettable adventure that will keep you shaking your head.
Karen Standing Deer’s daughter, Jennifer, knows exactly what she wants–to fall in love and marry a Native American just like her father and brother. Everyone else is immediately dismissed. Her friends and family keep telling her, the one you want could be right in front of her face.
Unfortunately, like watching a bolt of lightning hit the ground, there’s nothing that can be done about it. She has the uncanny knack for choosing the wrong men, every time.
Traveling to the past, with the belief that her one true love can’t be found this side of the millennium, she refuses to learn that she doesn’t have to go back to the past to find the one–she just needs to go back to the past to find her path.
Line review P.S. Winn
This is an amazing series.

This is the fifth in a series of books that involves time travel in a unique way. Jennifer uses a bed her mother received to go back in time. In this story, she is taken back to Florida where both Native Americans and African American’s were getting terrible treatment by America. The author does a great job taking readers on a journey that combines suspense, romance and a bit of history as they follow along on the journey.

It’s AMAZING!
By Heather Thompson
I LOVED this story! Although fast-paced, it does give you thrills. The scientific explanations are mind-blowing! My favorite thing about the book is the underlying love story between Tassta and Griffin. If you love science fiction and a bit of romance I would definitely suggest this read! You will absolutely fall in love with the characters (especially Griffin). I cant wait for the rest of the series to come out!!

Addicting read!
By obsessive reader
I have been searching and coming up empty on this type of book. I love IR romances but I also love paranormal and apocalyptic type books book I could never find one until now. This book had all the elements I was looking for and more. I loved the power our main hero Griffin had it was excellent and his love interest tassta was strong yet vulnerable for her feelings for him. Together they were truly loveable and sweet. This author did an excellent job of painting an apocalyptic world were to survive you had to be resourceful yet compassionate to others cannot wait until the next book.

Line Blurb
A wounded dragon, an undersea misfit, and a dangerous dream.

Arak could quest for hours in trance, his mind far away. He was different, a worthless dreamer, and so he was tormented by other young dragons. Arak left the clan, flying far over the sea, and crashed in a fierce storm. Scree, a shape-shifter octopus, found and healed him. A great friendship begins . . .
Arak returns to the Winter Festival, where dragons carve glaciers with fire and toss lightning bolts in the clouds. But a terrible illness strikes the clan. When Zarina falls ill, he vows to save her. Then an undersea volcano erupts, which triggers a towering tsunami and a deadly chain of events. Can Arak use his unique gifts and a dangerous dream to save the dragons?
“The Dragon Dreamer”
is a stand-alone book I of the Dragon Dreamer series: Young Adult Science Fantasy. “The Dragon Dreamer” won IAN First Place for Best First Novel. It’s also an IAN Finalist for Best Science Fiction and for Best Fantasy Book. This series is for ages 9 to adult.
Line review Chris Jones
The Dragon Dreamer by J.S. Burke

The Dragon Dreamer by J. S. Burke is definitely not your typical dragon story. As I began to read, I was confused about how a dragon and an octopus could become friends and communicate at all. The storyline is very creative and original, a fantasy with heart, courage, love, friendship and great imagery. A beautiful story is woven with legends and wonderful storytelling, layered with stories of how they became the creatures/beings they are today. I did not want to put it down.
Arak is a young dragon who feels different from the rest of his clan, has been teased for his unique gifts and treated poorly by his brother. I think this relates to bullying and the problems our youth suffer through today. Arak is a wonderful character whom you cheer for and wish him only good things. He has feelings for Zarina, his best friend and this is another layer to the story.
Through an ice storm, Arak is injured and first meets Scree, a wise and open-minded octopus, and the healer for her pod. They learn to communicate with body and sign language and become friends while Arak heals. Scree is very courageous and forward thinking. Once Arak is healed they go on to convince his clan and her pod to interact, trade goods, exchange stories, and learn about each other’s culture. The pod, clan, and individuals of each experience various issues and challenges during the story and they have wonderful adventures together. This book is very well written and really sucks you in. It leaves you with a smile, good feelings and wanting more.
The author is a marine biologist, teacher, and writer. The story includes actual characteristics of Octopi and other creatures of the ocean. Her love of sea life is very obvious and teaches the reader as she entertains us. She creates a wonderful and seemingly realistic world where dragons exist and their culture more like a true telling of history than fiction. I highly recommend this book to other adults and children. I cannot wait to read the next book and see where Arak and Scree’s adventures take them next!
Note: There is a glossary in the back, which also includes information about the sea life and other words used throughout the book.
There is slight violence as found in nature, attacks on another species to protect the clan and when a Squid attacks.

Excellent!
By Cinderella 7

A bit confusing with all the different characters and places, but exciting nonetheless. My heart goes out to Matthew and Devery.

I hate that Lydia is under so much suspicion and hope the next book solves the murders as well as sees the young couple finally able to get married.

I miss Karen’s time traveling and wish her husband would go with her. If he’s supposed to be the soul of her first husband, he should want to go with her to the Indians, I just don’t understand why he doesn’t.

I hate that I’m ready to read the last book of the series, I hate to see it end! I love this story very much!

The Minter
And Tassta realizes she is falling in love with him

In Blood Master by Kirsten Campbell, Atlanta has been completely leveled by an earthquake, rendering Underground Atlanta a refuge shelter. The displaced people who have survived the devastation of the earthquakes, the Death Plague, and the Clover Virus are forced to forage for supplies. Tassta and her brother Penn are on a raid to locate supplies for the Brotherhood Fortress, a unit of resistance against the cruel Guild Faction, when they encounter Griffin Storm. Griffin is the only known albino left, all the others having died in the Guild Faction’s experiments. As they take Griffin in (he was injured in the raid), they come to realize that he may be the one prophesized to defeat the Guild Faction. And Tassta realizes she is falling in love with him. Griffin is torn between staying at the Brotherhood Fortress with Tassta or returning to the Underground to the children in his care and his best friend, Waylene. Things become more complicated when Griffin begins to undergo a ‘transformation.’

Ms. Campbell’s ability to develop characters is incredible. She makes you want to pull the characters out of the book and talk with them. Griffin is without a doubt the single most sympathetic character I have ever encountered in a novel. He goes through all kids of hell, including a “dipping” experiment at the Guild Faction and the Death Plague. The poor guy just wants a regular life! Is that too much to ask for? And just when you think things might finally start to settle down for him, he starts to “transform.” Why, oh why, can’t he just have a normal life with the woman he loves? He has certainly earned it. The reader will root for Griffin and Tassta the whole way, and can’t help but hope things turn out well for them.

This book also has a completely satisfying ending that makes you want to read the next book, which I will get to very soon! I will never be able to go to Atlanta again without thinking of Griffin and Tassta.

Very entertaining read!
By Starman

Very entertaining read (it’s steamy at times too). The plot has developed well and takes the story in a really satisfying direction. There’s lots of great character interactions, lots of good scenes and some highly explosive moments. Griffin is becoming something highly dangerous; the question is, will he be able to be a G.O.D and stay human enough for his and Tassta’s love to survive? I’m eager to find out as the series progresses. It’s a 5 from me 🙂

Creative Mix of Historical Fiction and Time Travel

Didn’t know if I would like this, so I just purchased Book One and really enjoyed the mix of historical fiction and time travel. Now have the next two books loaded on my Kindle and hope they too are as fun to read. Every nation in the world got their power through conquest. Even Native Indians have that history. Pamela Ackerson has put a human face on that struggle in a very creative way that allows the reader to have their feet in both the past and present. Highly recommend!
