Callie’s city is dying. To save it, she must achieve the impossible. As a sorceress in a city where magic is illegal and could result in dire circumstances, she knows the risks. However, she is cautiously optimistic that stealing a sacred artifact from the Lord Aron’s castle will restore magic to the city.
Aiden is a former member of the Dragon Guard turned mercenary who is tasked with finding Callie, but his mission is thwarted when he learns she’s already been captured.
Callie’s mission to save her city will not be easy and Aiden is the only one who can help her complete her goal. It’s a race against time as dark forces close in and threaten to stop them in their tracks.
Review
I’m not really fan of Dystopian stories. They were so trendy in the times of the Hunger Games that I got tired of them. But I got caught immediately with this one.
Unfortunately that wasn’t enough. I think the idea was really good, I just didn’t like how it came out.
This is a standalone in the same world of a new series called The Andovia Chronicles. I will definitely read that one because the world sounds pretty interesting, but we don’t get enough in this book.
This book follows Callie, a young woman that is trying to save her people along with her brothers. For this matter they had to steal a valuable orb from the leader, and now all the guards are on their trail.
Aiden is hired by a mysterious man to capture Callie before the guards. And as they had already captured her when he arrives, he’s forced to help her for getting back the orb.
As I said, this story caught my attention immediately. It was a nice and fast reading (It has just 44 pages). But since Callie and Aiden met, things got too confusing. I’m not sure if it was just me or there were lots of mistakes. I actually read an ARC of this book, so I hope most of them were fixed for the release.
As a short story is still nice to spend the time, but it disappointed me a lot. An original idea, but I felt it led nowhere.

Freya and her army are rising up… They have no shame, and they will kill whoever gets in their way.
With an evil army wreaking havoc on her town, Andie needs to find the second Key, and quick. To do so, she must harness her powers and make the treacherous journey to Murias. Navigating the enchanted but perilous place becomes quite the challenge for her and her friends, with new adversaries and allies around every corner.
Confusion wars within Andie as she finds herself torn between feelings for the arrogant shifter, or the sweet and kind warlock who seems to always be there when she needs him.
Soon it becomes all too clear that she will have to make the hardest decision of her life and acquire the second Key at the same time.
Continue the journey.
Review
“Just remember, no matter what you might go through, shine bright for all to see. You are our light. You will guide us home.”
Hunter is alive, but he’s changed. Freya did something to him and now he is on her side. This means that his mission is to kill Andie.
Celeste, Aine and Coeus are trying to find a cure but without success. Andie is desperate for helping Hunter. But after seeing him, she understands that she can’t do anything immediately, and needs to focus on finding the second Key.
Trying to take Hunter off her mind, she asks for permission to snoop on the Oak. She is allowed with the warning that some objects may be dangerous. The tree has 20 floors inside. I bet you know what happened. She activated one object by accident.
She got lucky and the object not only didn’t kill her, but it ended up giving her a clue of where to find the second Key, Dagda’s Cauldron.
Once I was done and as I pulled my jeans back up, a protrusion in my pocket brushed against my hand, and I reached in to pull it out. I was developing a bad habit of putting stuff in pockets and forgetting about them. Shaking my head at myself, I glanced down to see what treasure I had this time.
After Freya starts appearing more in the city, and she with the Fomori even start scaring the humans. Andie must hurry to her mission.
This time without Hunter. But Teagan, Killian, Charlie and Emric join her again. Presley too, her friend who turned out to be a White Tiger Shifter. Yep, everyone around her had secrets.
Here we are back to no one listening to me. Fine. I’d just wait and see how far their stupid plan got them. Personally, I thought my idea was better.
And talking about secrets. Teagan may have made a big mistake.
As the mission wasn’t hard enough, Andie finds out that Teagan had feelings for her. But she has a crush on Hunter (I told you I smelled a love triangle and Teagan was doomed ?).
He was right, but this conversation and my exhaustion were starting to wear on me. Tired Andie is not always nice Andie, and the moment the words left my mouth. I instantly regretted it. “Teagan, I’m sorry. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. We’ve got more important things to worry about right now”.
This second book caught me way more than the first one. I still think that Andie is a little… Not so smart sometimes, but the place of the annoying damsel in distress was taken by Pres. No offense intended, I loved her. She’s too funny.
“Why do all the really deadly creatures look so cute?” Presley questioned behind me. “For that reason. Had you not been told of the danger; you may very well have gone right up to one and given it a smooch,” Emric replied dryly. “Sometimes the deadliest things come in familiar packages.”
Andie still complains all the time though. But I understand it. It seems to be her way to release stress. I spent half of the book laughing at the things that she knew she shouldn’t do but didn’t care and did it anyway.
I’d been in this same situation one too many times. This almost dying stuff had to stop!
Andie’s premonitions get more constants and terrible. I felt I knew all along everything that would happen. But not the outcome and that was what forced me to read even faster. Until I got to the cliffhanger at the end.
So far this story seems to me like an incredible mix of a lot of books that I’ve read. The Hunger Games, for example. I couldn’t avoid feeling the similarities between what happened to Hunter and what happened to Peeta. It also gives me the same feeling that Unwritten by Tara Gilboy.
I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it as a fast and fun read. But with a nice and interesting background story. Everytime I’m more and more sure that J.C. put everything that came to her mind into the book and honestly, I love it.
I even turned Emric into a peanut butter sandwich when I intended to turn him into a zebra. Yeah, I know, poor Emric, but really, he was fine and actually got a kick out of it until I finally turned him back, and he had peanut butter all in his fur.
PS: Freya is too sadistic. She really is sick.

Bloodthirsty creatures. A vindictive Queen of Elves… And a fierce teenage girl, willing to take them all on.
Andie didn’t expect to be orphaned. Now she has no parents, no Nan, no one but Anne, the weird social worker who carries on conversations with old books and empty purses.
Anne takes her to a small town in Texas to live with her new guardian, Celeste, an eccentric figure among many who seem to know something that Andie doesn’t. One evening, the woods behind Celeste’s house spirit Andie away, and she discovers a secret so incredible that she can scarcely believe it. Her destiny is to find the four Keys that will save the Tuatha de Danann from annihilation.
Worlds collide when two of her new friends from school, the sweet, helpful Teagan and the rude bad boy Hunter, join her on her journey to reach the mysterious place known only as Finias in search of the first Key, The Sword of Light.
As they flee the wicked Fomorians and battle with the Queen of Elves, Andie and the boys forge new alliances and make more adversaries. Will Andie and her friends rise to the challenge, or is the magical realm as good as gone already?
Review
“One is always watching out for who they love, even if they are no longer around…”
Andie was a nerd (I’ve always considered one myself, but she beat me with the beanie ? which by the way I hated but now I love). She didn’t have real friends because people in her school just used one another.
A lot of the time, I found that reading books was better than being around most people.
I couldn’t agree more with Andie.
She was raised by her grandmother since she was two years old, when her mother died and her father disappeared. Now, with sixteen her Nan passed away, and she is “adopted” by Celeste, an old friend of Nan’s that Andie had never heard of.
She smiled warmly and seemed genuinely happy that I was there. It seemed strange that someone would willingly open their home to a sixteen-year old teenager who they’d never met before. For all she knew, I could be a serial killer or a thief who would rob her blind.
Celeste does her best to help her feel comfortable. And in the new school she meets some nice people like Teagan. Although she also meets some weirdos like Hunter.
After following a weird boy into the woods near her new house, Andie finds a sort of library inside a giant tree where she meets Balwyn, a Brownie, and Erin, a fairy. Since this moment her life turns upside down as she finds out every mythical creature is real. In fact, her grandma and mother were Fae, and her father was a Warlock. She was supposed to be the one destined to find the “Four Keys” and save the world with the help of the powers that would wake up inside her.
Bending closer, I placed my hands on the rough bark and saw that the warm light spilled out from a hole in the tree. What the heck? Leaning close, I peered through it. Gasping, I backed away. Okay… I must have hit my head really hard, and right now I’m knocked out, and this is all a dream, I rationalized. There was no way what I saw through that hole could be real! Ribbing my eyes, I held my breath and looked through it again.
At least she would have help. Her new friend Teagan ends up being a Warlock and her stalker Hunter was a Were Shifter. Now the three of them, together with Charlie, the “parrot” and Emric, the Phooka. I’ll stop a second here…
Andie’s team have to find the first key, The Sword of Light before Freya does it. Freya is the Elf Queen who became evil and joined the Fomori, horrible creatures. Together they are trying to destroy what is left from the Fae world, and probably the human world as collateral damage.
I’m kinda upset with the fact that Andie was a nerd in all her glory and after she begins her mission she loses her glasses and beanie. I honestly couldn’t imagine her as a heroine but I got mad when the book agreed with me (I’m weird, I know). Still, I would have liked the change. Although glasses are not too compatible with adventures… just look at Harry Potter.
There was too much information at the beginning. But the book is narrated by Andie, and she received the information like this so it kinda makes sense.
What took a lot of me at the beginning was Andie. She was clumsy and useless, a damsel in distress that literally almost died in their first day of mission. Granted, if I was sent in a mission like this I would probably be in the same place. I didn’t feel identified with her at the beginning, but turns out we are more alike than I would like to admit. This is how a girl that is sent to save the world should actually be. An absolute failure that learns on the way.
Guess I’m going to have to wing it like before. If I died, so be it, but at least I tried.
Still, I don’t know how can you save the world when you almost die climbing a mountain or murdered by a flower…
Anyway I learned to love her. Except at the times she decided to run away from the group: “I’m in a dangerous mission, let’s run alone to the forest. What could go wrong?”
Also, I smell a love triangle. And even though right now I love Hunter, I’m scared because I always choose the sweet best friend that stays alone.
I’m not crying, you are.
Hunter is the typical bad guy with a sarcastic character but who has a golden heart. And I love golden hearts…
“Watch out, Andie. Lizard to your left,” Hunter called form behind me, causing me to jump a foot in the air and scramble away. Hunter cracked up, and I stopped running to turn and look at him. He was still laughing, and there weren’t any lizards where I had been.
Teagan has a golden heart that is not hidden. If this is a love triangle he’s so doomed already ?
He reached forward, grabbing the backpack off my shoulder, casually slinging it over his as if it weighed next to nothing. Stunned by this gesture, I stared. He seemed to think nothing of it and turned to head down the hall. Chivalry wasn’t dead!
The book has a basic scheme. A girl destined to save the world. A bad guy who is good. And a guy too good to be true. Clichés? Yes. As I always say, do I care? Nope. It works perfectly fine for me.
It was a nice, light and fast read. It would be suitable for any age except for the gore, like… Freya is pretty sick. But is not unbearable. It ends in a cliffhanger of those that make you want to trow the book away. Fortunately I have the second book so my Kindle survived.
PS: After doing this review I’m even more impressed with the book because I was sure a lot of creatures were J.C. inventions when in reality they are from different mythologies. RESPECT.

The hardest stone protects the most precious gems…
Someone is killing dwarves.
Sabine is new to the city of Razadon, a mecca of stone and dwarven magic.
When a clan leader is murdered in a strange ritual, suspicion falls on the most likely culprits and those newest to the city—Sabine and her companions.
The blood of the ancients can fracture even the strongest stone…
The seals of the Dragon Portal are growing weaker, and Sabine’s running out of time to acquire the remaining artifacts before their world is engulfed in flames.
It’s a race against the clock to find out who’s responsible for the murder and save her friend’s life. But deep within the heart of the mountain, there are some who will do anything to keep Sabine from learning the truth.
Even if it means sacrificing her in the process.
Review
“All hail Queen Sabin’theoria of the Unseelie, daughter and heir of Queen Mali’theoria, and blood descendant of Lachlina, the One True Goddess, and Vestior, Harbinger of Nightmares.”
After their adventure with the Merfolk. Sabine, Malek and their other companions are back on the ship on their way to Dwarven, city of the Dwarves.
The closer they get, the greater becomes the feeling that something is wrong. When they are attacked by a strange storm, part of the crew die or lose control of their actions, including Bane and Malek. Thanks to their connection with Sabine and her new power granted by the pearl of the Merfolk, they manage to reach safely the city of the dwarves, Razadon.
This new display of Sabine’s magic, without being covered by her protectors, results in indicating to the Wild Hunt her exact location, so they have no choice but to hide in Razadon.
Between the corruption permeating the air, the goddess threatening to control her bond with Malek and Bane, and the knowledge assassins were hunting her, this entire situation had the potential to go wrong very quickly.
The problem is that the storm was created by corrupt magic, which enrages the goddess Lachlina, who forces Sabine to search for the origin and end it. Furthermore, this magic seems to affect Bane more than the others, driving him into a demonic frenzy in which he slays the dwarves that attack him. This makes him a prisoner, and he is sentenced to death.
The crew is sent away from the city because of the dangers that exist in it. So Sabine, Malek, and Blossom must take it upon themselves to save Bane. Now with the help of Rika, a human “seer” whom Sabine agreed to rescue in Karga and who is now half butterfly (you will understand by reading it ?).
Now Sabine, who has become the new Unseelie queen, needs to prove her power against the dwarves to maintain the alliance, as she tries to overcome their political entanglements to rescue Bane. All while searching for the cause of the corruption before the goddess Lachlina loses her patience and does it on her own.
The first thing I want to say about this book is that for some reason I thought it was a trilogy. Then, through Amazon, I found out there were 4. And it turns out that at the beginning of this book I come across this…
There are 6 books planned in the saga and I don’t even know if they are all. This would really be wonderful if it weren’t because I hate waiting ?. But hey, back to the book.
Sabine is not ready to become queen. However, there is nothing she can do about it. She is forced to do everything in her power to prove to others that she will be a trustworthy queen and thus not lose her allies. Even if her confidence is just a performance.
“We’ve secured at least four votes, possibly five. The others can bend, or they can break. If they want to play games, I intend to win.”
Fortunately, she has Malek by her side, a dragon who has been several times in the city of the dwarves thanks to his facade as a merchant and ship captain. Sabine finds in him the strength to keep up appearances, as well as important advice on how to negotiate with them. Unfortunately Malek is hiding something. He hasn’t told the whole truth about the portal to Sabine and knows he could lose her when she finds out.
“The one woman I end up falling for is the one person who holds the power to either save our people or damn them for eternity. If I have to lose her in the process of saving them, I’ll do it. I’ll hate every second of it, but I’ll do it.”
In addition, Sabine is clear that her relationship with Malek cannot last, as her people will never accept a dragon with their queen. However, she cannot find the strength to get away from him.
She reached for him, and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. There was no use denying it. She’d fallen in love with a dragon. They’d known each other for such a short amount of time, but it didn’t matter. The obstacles they’d faced had shown her who he truly was, and that was the man she’d come to adore.
Another very interesting thing is that it is becoming increasingly clear that the Huntsman, leader of the Wild Hunt, has some interest in Sabine and in helping her instead of killing her. Although we do not know why.
I can’t say much about Bane and Rika without spoilers. But I love both characters. Bane is the demon that has an oath with Sabine, although she mentions on many occasions that demons are not the same as other races in terms of emotions, it is very clear that he really cares about Sabine. He also seems to have a special relationship with Rika.
This young seer is only 15 years old, and she was forced to leave her home and her grandmother to survive. Sabine feels completely identified with her, so she does her best to support her. Rika’s abilities have not been fully developed, but she already proves to be a valuable ally, who immediately grew fond of everyone, but especially Bane and Blossom.
Blossom is once again in charge of delivering abundant amounts of humor. But it is increasingly showing how important she is as an ally and friend.
One thing I really like about this series is that they don’t end in cliff-hangers. The end of this book is a little more terrible than the previous ones, but it still doesn’t leave you totally hanging. It makes me think of Percy Jackson. I haven’t read the books (?) but in the movies, each one focuses on a particular mission / story, with a base story that ties them together. In the style of Harry Potter the first 4 years.
In this case we are touring the kingdoms hand in hand with Sabine. Each book mainly focuses on one kingdom (at least it seems so ?). In the first they were in the realm of humans, in the second in that of the Merfolk and now in that of the dwarves. It is no longer a spoiler that the main story corresponds to the search for the artifacts used by the gods to close the portal of the dragons and prevent a new war in the world. But this book focuses on the object guarded in the kingdom of the dwarves, and therefore in this race and its relationship with Sabine.
Obviously there is a new drawing, I would be offended if the others don’t have it ?. This time we have Sabine and Blossom next to the dwarf crystals. They are getting more and more beautiful ?.
I still recommend 100% this series. Especially for those who love pure fantasy and fairies, and dragons, and dwarfs, and a thousand other creatures. It is one of the most magical sagas that I have read.
PS: A very interesting discovery is that, of the original races, only dwarfs can grow facial hair. Officially I want to be a Fae ?.

A priceless treasure is hidden within the ocean’s depths…
Sabine barely managed to escape from Akros with her life.
But the ocean isn’t safe for someone whose power stems from the forests.
When their ship is attacked on the high seas and one of Sabine’s companions is taken hostage, only an agreement forged by blood and magic may save her friend’s life.
The pearl of the sea is also the key to the gods’ revenge…
With the dragon portal failing and the gods’ magic threatening to destroy their world, Sabine must choose between following her heart or upholding a sacred oath.
The cost of ending a centuries-old feud may be higher than anyone expected.
All magic demands a sacrifice–even if it’s hers.
Review
“By blood and magic and by the rights of both, what once was solely ours shall be no longer. By will and might, we merge our purposes and intents. As I will it, so mote it be.”
Do you know that feeling of watching a movie in your head when reading? It usually takes me a few chapters in a book to get to that point, in some it never gets as “clear”. This time it was as if I had pressed “Play” the moment I opened the book, even without remembering much of the previous one.
Sabine, Malek and their companions left Akros on Malek’s ship, heading for the Dwarven city.
In the middle of the ocean they are attacked by the Merfolk, aquatic creatures similar to faeries (like mermaids). Who capture much of the crew, including Esme and Levin, Sabine and Malek’s best friends respectively.
Her magic was ancient in origin, for the Fae were the first children of the gods. Her power was the same as what originally shaped this world, creating forests and lakes where none previously existed. While the Merfolk were the caretakers of the sea, the Fae would always be the victors in commanding the heavens and earth to obey.
Sabine manages to make a deal with the Merfolk to rescue her friends, which consists of finding Pearl, a Merfolk who disappeared in the desert in her human form.
As if this mission was not complex enough, things in Karga, the city where they disembark, are upside down. Annually they carry out a “burning festival” in which the city is completely closed and a purge of all demonic magic is carried out. This year they have advanced the date and it has become even more dangerous as they now have a magic detector.
Tired and having used much of their magic, Sabine, Malek and Blossom must find a way to complete their mission, without dying in the attempt. But, above all, without falling in love (Although they should already give up on this, they already fell in love ?).
Her hand started vibrating, and she laughed in delight. “Are you purring?” Bane snorted and walked away, circling the dragon and studying him from all sides. “A dragon who purrs. Fearsome, indeed.”
And of course, the Wild Hunt is still trying to murder Sabine …
I completely fell in love with the first book in this series. I can’t understand how I missed the release of the second installment, but here we are.
Honestly I had almost no memories of the first part. I just remembered how much I liked it. Thank god Jamie does an excellent job putting up little reminders that allow you to follow the story without rereading. Except for Sabine’s connection to the goddess Lachlina. I really didn’t remember this and had to reread the end of the first one ?.
Like the first book, the story grabs you from the beginning and you start to have a million questions, which are answered veeeery slowly.
We get to know Sabine so much better and I love her. This time we get to know a little more about her past, along with the real reason for her escape from Faerie. She has a horrible past, but she never allowed that to define her. She is different from all other Fae, she does not feel superior to any race, and she cares about everyone. Which is ironic because she is probably the most powerful of them.
You’re not like the rest of the Fae,” Blossom said and patted Sabine’s hair. “That’s why we follow you, Sabine. You’re different.”
I find it very sad that Sabine, with Malek, knows for the first time what it is for someone to love you without expecting anything in return. The fact that Malek doesn’t want her magic puzzles her and makes her fall even more for him.
Sabine nodded. She managed a weak smile and brushed away her tears. “I’m sorry. I normally don’t fall apart like this.” Malek arched his brow. “In the short time we’ve known each other, you’ve proven to be one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. Most would have given up after experiencing a fraction of the challenges you’ve faced.” He chuckled. “I don’t think anyone would begrudge you a few tears, and if so, to hell with them. I’d like to see them try to walk in your footsteps.”
I love Malek because he is very strong and overprotective, yet he knows that he cannot protect Sabine against her will, and he respects that. I find it very funny that they spend the whole book saying “damn, I will fall in love with him / her” when it is clear that they are totally damned already ?. They are an adorable couple, but with impressive sexual tension even just by looking at each other. We know that Sabine is a Fae and Malek a dragon, and both races are mortal enemies. However, Sabine begins to trust Malek and their relationship evolves into more than just attraction.
However, the best character ever is definitely Blossom. The little pixie who proves to be a loyal friend and hilarious companion, as well as an ally full of surprising resources.
Blossom flew toward them, her wings sending a smattering of pixie dust everywhere. It seemed to happen more often when she was overly excited.
I want Blossom to send pixie dust all over my room ?
My only critic is that I felt some very repetitive phrases, like that they were falling in love, or Malek putting Sabine’s hair behind her ear. But this is just for criticizing something.
Again we have a beautiful drawing at the beginning of each chapter. This time Blossom managed to appear in the picture with Sabine ?. By the way, I don’t know how I didn’t realize before that the image is of Sabine, it didn’t even occur to me until I read a comment from Jamie ?♀️.
And … again I overdid this post but it’s worth it. I highly recommend this series. One thing I really like is that these books don’t end in cliff-hangers. Each one is a part of an incredible story with a medieval air and full of magic.
Bye bye ?

Throne of Glass meets Minecraft in this fun YA romantic fantasy.
One prince wants her out. Another wants her as a pawn. Someone wants her dead.
Zora wants to win the cup and tell them all to screw themselves.
Yes, 17-year-old Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason. Her ex-boyfriend thought she couldn’t attain glory on her own. Just because she was a girl. And he was the real cheater. So she took his place.
Now she’s competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley. It’s her chance to prove her worth and bring glory for her people. If she wins, of course.
But winning is far from easy. The younger prince thinks she’s a fragile damsel who doesn’t belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he’s stacking the challenges against her. Zora hates him, hates him, hates him, and will do anything to prove him wrong.
The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games. Flirting, the last thing she wanted.
And then there’s someone trying to kill her.
The Cup and the Prince is a light and fun YA fantasy with romance, action, and intrigue, for readers 15 and older. It’s book 1 in the series Kingdom of Curses and Shadows.
Review
But this story is getting messy, so we’ll get back to the beginning. Four hundred years before… Too early? Let’s go back four hours then, when Zora was still bright-eyed and oblivious.
That beginning is epic ?. I really like Day Leitao’s books, so when I found out she was writing a new series I had to read it. Although I felt a little scared when I learned that it was inspired by Minecraft…
I honestly find it incredibly cool to pull out a complete story inspired by the idea that monsters can appear in dark places.
Zora is a 17-year-old girl who has lived all her life in the Dark Valley, a place where monsters spawn in every small space of shadows, so all the citizens are in charge of keeping lamps lit and locating things ensuring that they do not create spaces without light.
Given this lifestyle and the fact that accidents cannot be avoided, everyone in the valley needs to know how to defend themselves against the shadows, even children. Zora is a teacher and is in charge of teaching them both to survive, to read and, above all, to always keep hope.
“What do we do?” “WE SHINE OUR LIGHT,” both replied. “What if shadows come?” “WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT.” “What if fear shows up?” “WE ALWAYS TRUST OUR MIGHT.” “And what do we do meanwhile?” “WE HOPE, BELIEVE, AND TRY.”
Zora’s “war” shout
Zora had a boyfriend, Seth, who was a reverend jerk and was just using her. Seth had been selected as the valley champion who would go to represent them in the Royal Games competition. Fortunately, Zora discovered his deception just the night before Seth left town.
“You’re a girl and all, so you can’t do things yourself, but you can be my inspiration.”
I’m so kicking this idiot’s ass to a dark spot where he can be eaten by a shadow wolf
After this betrayal, Zora decides that she does not need love or hope. And she takes Seth’s place in the competition as revenge.
Then she checked the lamps in the house to make sure they had enough oil for the night. If a shadow creature spawned inside his house and killed him, what was the point of all that? You can’t humiliate dead people… …Her idea was to write, “Dear Seth, when I find glory, please know that none of it is yours.” But then she remembered he couldn’t read.
He’s such an idiot that is even hard to humiliate him ?
One small detail is that she has no idea what the competition is all about. Also, she managed to anger Griffin, the youngest prince, as soon as she arrived.
Well, if she won the cup instead of him, she’d be the one with the mocking face. Simple solution. Complex execution.
Being the only woman in the competition should put her at a disadvantage, but at least it meant finding some unexpected allies, including Prince Larzen, who offered his help in exchange for her taking part in the courtship.
Well, duh. He was a guy and probably thought women were naturally born with makeup and hair done.
Things were going relatively well, until Zora discovers Griffin’s big secret and someone starts trying to assassinate her. Now Zora is caught in the middle of the competition itself, but also the problems between the three princes. Plus the king’s fiancee, Alegra.
Be careful, be careful. It was all people told her. As if the responsibility for not getting murdered were hers.
I was a little scared when I started reading this book because I saw a pretty bad review. I’m very glad I didn’t listen to it because my only critic to this book is the fact that it ends on a cliffhanger, and I only complain because I suffer a lot when the next part has not yet come out.
But really, it blew my mind.
For starters, I loved Zora. She is very brave, super intelligent and life in the Valley has given her many resources. However, she is not indestructible and knows it. She suffers more than one collapse in the book and I love that, because it makes her feel so much more real.
Tears were running from her eyes again. If they could fix anything, Zora would have no problems.
It reminds me a lot of The Hunger Games, apart from the competition itself. This is done to entertain the subjects of the kingdom. It also made me think of Mulan. Although she does not disguise herself as a man, she must prove her worth in front of them, in addition to wanting to win to honor her people.
Perhaps the heart had a special place for one hated person, just like it had a special place for love, although she swore to leave that empty or fill it with love for humanity, for her valley.
I cannot say anything about Throne of Glass because I am an embarrassment to the reading community and I have not read it yet.
Yes, it’s me inside the box
The Dark Valley is very well-built. When I was reading I kept thinking of “mistakes” for things that would inevitably make a shadow like the sheets, however, it is explained that, in fact, they do not use them.
Now, it is true that there are TOO MANY “sexual” jokes in the style of a 14-year-old boy, but for me it was like listening to a friend telling bad jokes ?.
Griffin scoffed. “You’re assuming she’d want to come.” “Weird.” Larzen scratched his chin. “I thought that was what most girls wanted.” Alegra and Kiran laughed. Zora looked uncomfortable.
Finally… Are there clichés? Yes. Do I care? No ?. I love castles and balls in books, competitions too. Also, while you could say there are clichés, I feel like Day gave all of them an original turn. And fear not, there is no love square between princes and Zora ?.
Final verdict: 5/5, I highly recommend it to have a good time.
PS: I went overboard with the quotes but there were some too good to leave out ?.

Ever since Riley Thomas, reluctant medium extraordinaire, accidentally released a malevolent spirit from a Ouija board when she was thirteen, she’s taken a hard pass on scary movies, haunted houses, and cemeteries. Twelve years later, when her best friend pressures her into spending a paranormal investigation weekend at the infamous Jordanville Ranch—former home of deceased serial killer Orin Jacobs—Riley’s still not ready to accept the fact that she can communicate with ghosts.
Shortly after their arrival at the ranch, the spirit of a little boy contacts Riley; a child who went missing—and was never found—in 1973.
In order to put the young boy’s spirit to rest, she has to come to grips with her ability. But how can she solve a mystery that happened a decade before she was born? Especially when someone who knows Orin’s secrets wants to keep the truth buried—no matter the cost.
Review
*Warning: The backstory is really dense. There are murders, rapes and it is quite descriptive in general. There are also some sex scenes but, if you can tolerate everything else, these should be nothing.*
Riley Thomas is a normal 25-year-old girl whose life has been reduced to watching television and working, after breaking up 6 months ago with the idiot of her ex-boyfriend.
Her best friend Jade has tried several times to perform interventions, but they have not worked. So this time she uses all her best friend resources and commits Riley to a weekend of paranormal investigation at the house where a serial killer lived, made famous after appearing on a paranormal show.
Riley is obsessed with crime stories, so she should be excited about the idea. But it is impossible for her to get excited knowing that the place is said to be haunted.
Riley’s rejection of everything paranormal is far from the common fear of ghosts, as Riley is a “reluctant medium.” She discovered her spiritual ability when she was 10 years old, but it was at 13 that the madness broke out. From that day on, Riley got as far away from the paranormal world as possible and dedicated herself to pretending her ability didn’t exist.
Pretending for the weekend shouldn’t be an impossible mission, but a little ghost named Pete ruins her plans. Now Riley must stop pretending and use everything she has learned from research on television and the internet to find out what happened to Pete.
For me this book deserves 11/5 stars. End of the review.
Yes, so much so.
This book is about a serial murderer, who kidnapped girls to make “contributions to medicine”, eventually one of his “patients” managed to escape, and he was caught and convicted for the murders. However, when Riley arrives at the ranch, she realizes that there are probably still a few loose ends in this case, and that she is the only one who can solve them thanks to the information she gets from beyond.
The story is mostly told from Riley’s perspective, but some chapters are from Orin’s perspective. These are the most scary, because he truly believes he did nothing wrong and even cares about his “patients.” Since he was a child, he was always very interested in how things work, the problem is that he was also interested in knowing how human beings work, and after being rejected from medical schools and even forensics (I don’t know why they didn’t put him in a psychiatric after these interviews ?♀️), he found a way to conduct his research on his own. He’s a very well-constructed character, but pretty gruesome for the same reason.
Reading that description, the book doesn’t seem recommendable, but it is. To begin with, I believed every single word in the book. The story is totally realistic (which makes it a lot more terrible), even in the paranormal scenes. Also, the characters. Riley really has no idea how to resolve her new situation and uses the internet a lot to do research. Luckily for her, she has the support of Jade, whose relationship really seems like sisters. And also of Michael, an excessively handsome 30-year-old man she meets on the weekend at the ranch. Honestly, it’s worth making that dreadful visit to the ranch to meet someone like Michael ?. A “reformed idiot” in his own words, who is in charge of keeping Riley from falling apart, as well as being excessively funny, easing the tension in the worst moments in history. I loved this character, he has a million traumas from the past, but he’s looking to be a better person.
“What are you talking about?” He placed the back of his hand on her forehead. “You’re pale. Are you okay? You look like you’ve just seen a–oh. Oh! Shit. You saw a ghost.”
The synopsis of this book caught me immediately, but as after my experience with paranormal programs (they fascinate me but I stopped watching them because I couldn’t sleep afterwards ?) I understood that I am a chicken, I read some reviews to make sure it did not give too much fear. The truth is it was useless because, although the book is not scary in itself, I still had nightmares ?♀️.
You could say that it is divided into 3 parts. The beginning and the visit to the ranch, the investigation and then the outcome.
In the beginning, when they arrive at the Jordanville Ranch is the moment that the most chills made me feel. But, once they return home, the investigation is conducted by Riley, as she begins a relationship with Michael. For me it was perfect, because after the nerves of the first chapters and given that the things that Riley discovers are each more frightening than the last, I do not know if I could have handle reading the book it had been otherwise. The relaxed moments on their dates, or Michael’s jokes that always break the tension, made me enjoy this book despite its dark background.
The ending is simply spectacular. The book begins by putting your nerves on edge, then allows you to relax a little and then moves at a dizzying pace toward the outcome. I haven’t read many thrillers, but it’s in the end where most stories fail and this one didn’t.
Another very interesting thing in this book is how harassment reports are handled. At one point in the book, Riley is harassed by a psychopath. I can’t tell you anything else to avoid spoilers, but the important thing is that he doesn’t do anything that would allow to have evidence against him. Riley says it and even a detective mentions it: These types of cases only get followed up once it is too late. Unfortunately this appears to be the case in fiction as well as in reality, and in all countries. I am glad that this is becoming more and more visible and I hope with all my heart that things change.
I talked too much but this book really surprised me. It’s the first time in a long time that I really couldn’t stop reading. It gave me the chills, I laughed out loud and cried too.
I don’t know what else I can tell you so that you run to read this book (but really, if you are too sensitive don’t read it, despite being excellent it is quite strong).
PD: This is Melissa’s debut book. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I could have sworn it was the book of a super experienced writer.
An outcast teen. A supernatural academy. An evil spirit that wants revenge.
Jules Winklevoss attends a high school taught by the most brilliant minds in history. Imagine if Albert Einstein was your science teacher and John F. Kennedy was your social studies teacher…as if surviving high school wasn’t hard enough! Jules can handle bullies and homework, but an academy run by spirits? She may be dead meat. Jules is determined to protect her family and keep herself alive, even if that means delving into the world of the dead.
The Light of Supremazia is the first installment in a YA fantasy series. If you like hidden worlds, fast-paced adventures, and teenage angst, then you’ll love Alana Mag’s series starter. Join the adventure today!
Review
Jules is a 14-year-old girl who spends all her time with her best friend Johnny, and her 13-year-old sister, Meggy.
After Johnny’s death in strange accident, things get even worse for Jules as she discovers that her entire life is a lie. She is actually “adopted” and now her biological family demands that she attend an academy for people with “special abilities.”
This way Jules learns that she is capable of seeing ghosts, a necessary skill to enter the Vita Post Mortem Academy, especially since many of the teachers, and even students, are, in fact, ghosts.
Things get complicated when Jules discovers that her family is the target of the revenge of Machiavelli, an evil spirit who recruits followers in the best style of Death Eaters, after Jules’s grandmother ruins his plans to form an immortal army.
At least now that she knows she can see ghosts, she understands that she hasn’t lost Johnny forever, but why doesn’t he show up?
Vita Post Mortem Academy is basically Hogwarts but with ghosts… But at Hogwarts there were also ghosts so… Like Hogwarts but without magic.
The detail that the professors are people like Einstein, John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe is really fascinating and funny, however, it is horrible to imagine that all the ghosts continue to look like they did at the time of their death, even if that implies very beautiful wounds…
It really reminded me a lot of Hogwarts, for example, there are also “houses” here, but there are 3. Corpus, the pure-muscle blues, Mentis, the intelligent-egotistical grays and Viscus, the reds… normal ?. It really is the first time that I would have liked to be in the “house” of the “losers”.
Jules befriends Dahlia, a very intelligent but shy girl, and Logan, a mudblo… sorry, a Charity boy, whose parents are not from a long line of visioners, they are Mugg… I mean ableptic (blind to ghosts). She also becomes a frenemy of Sharpée, a very interesting character to say the least, and of Chase, the unbearable younger brother of Ryder, who was in charge of taking Jules to the academy and basically left her drooling over him ?.
Together they must simply survive school, until Jules realizes that Johnny’s “accident” was indeed directed at her, plus the fact that Johnny started talking to everyone around her except her, and the fact that she knew Machiavelli was getting closer and closer. This is basically the perfect recipe for disaster… making it the perfect recipe for a good story.
The more I think about it, the more I doubt how to rate this story. I enjoyed it very much and could not stop reading it, but I feel that there are things that do not convince me. For example, Meggy is 13 years old and while Jules mentioned that it has always been like the difference was more, there really are times when it seems that Meggy is 6 years old. This does not affect the story in any case though.
There are also a couple of things that left me somewhat confused, but since it is the beginning of a saga, this does not complicate me too much.
Anyway, for me this is a highly recommended and fast-reading book. Although it might not be a good idea for overly sensitive people, especially going through descriptions of injuries or deaths.
I forgot to mention that I listened to the audiobook of this story. It was harder for me to understand it than other audiobooks I’ve heard, but I quite liked the narrator anyway. However, I still laugh a lot when they try to make voices. In this particular case, the narrator is a man with a deep voice, and Meggy’s voice is “soft.” You really get used to it fast, but it always makes me laugh when I start an audiobook.
PS: A detail that is not very relevant but that I cannot get out of my head is that the girl on the cover is too blonde for me to be Jules, and yes, it is irrelevant, but it bothers me ?.

Alana’s dream is to leave the poverty-stricken, government-controlled planet where she lives with her mother. But that’s impossible when she can barely manage enough to eat. Her big chance comes in a well-paid mission to retrieve a golden sphere. The problem: it’s in the Ghost Ship, a mysterious alien vessel abandoned for millenia. Nobody has ever set foot on it and come out alive. How will Alana manage it?
Meanwhile, Jasper has come to her planet to oversee the government. His real goal? To see the mysterious dragons—if they are still alive.
Destiny brings them together and thrusts the fate of the Samitri Planet and the Human Universe in their hands.
The Sphere of Infinity is a standalone YA Aladdin retelling novella.
It was part of the box set Kingdom of Sand and Wishes.
Review
Alana is a thief. She “works” stealing small objects or information from different places, using her small stature as great advantage. However, Alana never wanted to have this lifestyle. It is her only option to survive, since her mother is in a wheelchair and cannot work.
Alana’s dream is to get enough money to be able to leave Samitri, her home planet, with her mother and go to Ringon, where the government is located and “everyone can be what they want” (Zootopia vibes). Also, to be able to do the surgery that will allow her mother to walk again.
Her dream seems impossible until a woman, Mara, offers her an excessively well-paid job to retrieve a golden sphere from a spaceship that has been abandoned in space for years, the Ghost Ship. Alana can’t resist, besides, Mara would go with her so there was nothing to fear, right?
Alana manages to find the sphere, but when the ship itself seems to want to prevent her from escaping, Mara abandons her and leaves her to die on the ship. Fortunately, the golden sphere was actually a container for Janet, a creature capable of granting three wishes and that helps Alana to return to Samitri.
Now she can finally change her life, but Mara has not given up the sphere. Things get even more complicated when Alana meets Jasper, a Ringon representative on Samitri, who immediately catches her attention.
I listened to the audiobook of this story and I don’t know if it’s the audiobooks themselves but again this book reminds me of fairy tales, but modern. Maybe it’s Day’s style or the fact that this particular one is a new version of a fairy tale ?♀️.
I honestly think that if I didn’t know that this story is based on Aladdin, it would never have occurred to me. But knowing it, it is impressive how many similarities can be found, without being obvious.
For example, the names of the characters: Alana (Aladdin), a thief to survive, and Jasper, a member of “royalty” who gets along better with animals than humans (Jasmin). And the golden sphere (lamp) where Janet (the Genie) is trapped.
There are many more similarities, but I don’t want to mention them for avoiding spoilers.
I know I shouldn’t give this book 5 stars, as I had some unanswered questions. Like what about the dragons and what was Janet really, they bring it up but I honestly didn’t get it. Another thing that is not clear to me is the scope of the wishes that can be asked to Janet.
But I don’t care, I really enjoyed this story and the characters, I especially loved Jasper. Mention aside, the covers of Day Leitao’s books are truly wonderful.
Another thing that struck me a lot about the story is Alana’s way of thinking about love. Her mother writes romantic stories and does not allow her to read them because she says they are nothing more than garbage, very handsome and chivalrous men, ready to rescue the woman from all her problems. Now, it is true that it’s quite unlikely that you are going to be riding your bike and crush with Chris Hemsworth and then you’ll get married, but I feel that today’s society trashes fairy tales excessively. No matter how powerful you are on your own, there is nothing wrong with having someone by your side who wants to take care of you. It is true, a woman does not need you to rescue her from a tower, she is perfectly capable of making her own ladder, but there is nothing wrong with having someone to hold it for you while you go down.
It also felt good to be near Alana. Tiny as she was, she was fierce but also had fear and vulnerability, reminding him of the tigers in Firis. He’d obviously never mention it to her. He also knew that she wasn’t a wild defenseless cub, and that it would be her choice whether he’d ever be able to care for her. So far she’d been allowing him, though. He could almost believe she liked it, which was a small consolation in his world that had been shattered.
So yeah, I’m giving it 5 stars anyway and I highly recommend it if you want a cute, entertaining and original short story.
And remember… Be careful what you wish for.

I never thought of doing a review of a TV series, but I feel that this case deserves it.
And of course, I’m talking about the poor, overly criticized Netflix anime series Memorias de Idhún (The Idhun Chronicles), which was released a few days ago.
This is not a review of the plot of the series because it is true that the story is attached to the book and I love it. Probably one day I will review the saga itself, but until then just know that it is one of the most important books for me.
I honestly enjoyed it. Seeing the scenes I read so long ago animated was wonderful. However, this did not blind me to reality.
Memorias de Idhún was written in Spanish and has been translated into 14 languages, but not into English and unfortunately, it is this language that tends to be the most important for massification, for example to have more merchandising (I want Pops and stuffed animals and necklaces and everythiiiiiiiing ?).
Translated into Catalan, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Korean, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Turkish and Hungarian.
So I was very excited for the premiere of the series, not only because I wanted to see it, but also because at last there was an opportunity for this saga to become known in English.
But I feel a huge pain for the quality of the series. It is not that the animation is bad itself, only that it has many flaws or details without enough importance, for example in the astral conjunction: Seeing that quality of drawing of the stars and then the lightning appears with a completely different drawing style I feel it affected too much the scene.
Another issue are the voices… Everyone has said it and it is the biggest criticism of the series even before its premiere, but anyway I tried to see it in Spanish. A total disappointment. I do not want to underestimate the work that the actors did here, the fault lies only with Netflix who, after getting a complete casting of professional voice actors approved by Laura (the author of the book), decided that they preferred to attract an audience and hired other actors, with a lot of experience in their area, but who are not voice actors. You can tell the difference with Michelle Jenner (Victoria), the only one from the original casting who survived this “feat”.
Post by Laura Gallego about the voices, so you have proof that this are not my words.
Then I tried to see it in English, it improves a lot but the emotions still don’t convince me, so I ended up trying German because someone suggested it on Twitter and it is the one I liked the most of the ones I tried. I never imagined seeing a Spanish series in German ??♀️.
But, even if one ignores the voices, I cannot understand the music. It has a lot of spaceship overtones that don’t make sense with the story. I have no knowledge of how to set a scene to music, but the difference is clear when the music is “correct” because it places you in the emotion corresponding to the scene and… nowhere in this series should have been a spaceship emotion…
Another thing is the nonexistent Opening and Ending. This would have seemed totally irrelevant to me if it wasn’t because, with everything else, I feel that it would have been nice to feel that it was given enough importance to create something original as “compensation.” At least the images that appear in the end are beautiful.
So "Memorias de Idhún"/"The Idhun Chronicles" is finally out. What is now almost two years ago I had the chance to work on some illustrations which can be seen in chapter 3 and also in the ending sequence. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/NTR2rC9Yrk
Honestly, this was a vent post and to contribute my grain of sand to continue supporting this saga.
If you have read Memorias de Idhún I have no doubt that you will see the series despite everything they say. But if you haven’t read it, I hope you give it a try anyway, if when you see the series the basic plot catches your attention, I assure you that you will not regret reading the books (or comics).
I also hope that among all the criticisms that have come out, Netflix will be able to make changes to improve the series and have other seasons, because I love this story from the bottom of my heart (except maybe the end ?) and I don’t want everything ending like this.
Bye bye ?

Hunter Astley has always known that he is different: being a witch-hunter that can use magic has sealed his fate. He must destroy the Shadow Witch once and for all, with the help of some unlikely allies.
We delve even deeper into the world of the Malleus Maleficarum; into myth, rumour and history that refuses to stay in the past.
Review
After losing the war against the witches and all his allies, Hunter decides to search for the Benandanti. Being on the witches’ radar, he spends a lot of time traveling the world to avoid capture, until he manages to reach Italy and finds the Donili temple.
The Benandanti were a branch of the Donili. Since Hunter’s “powers” were similar to theirs, they agree to train him. This implies that Hunter spends more than a year learning with them with his 13-year-old companions who take advantage of teasing him ?.
“If you want my opinion, and I know you won’t like it.” The Abate stated. “Anti-witches and Donili have a lot more in common with witches than normal humans.”
When Hunter is finally ready to return, he encounters a new moderately organized resistance and meets Mel among them. Quite an interesting girl who seems to be as crazy as the hatter from Alice in Wonderland.
Mel danced around the table, making ure her two guests were seated before skipping to the door and yanking it open. “Hello Dave.” She trilled to the with-hunter on sentry. “We’re having a tea party. Can you bring the tea?
Now they must find a way to permanently end Sophie, carefully selecting their allies and setting aside all their previous prejudices.
The first thing I have to say is that Adam is 4 years old when Hunter finally meets him officially … I really can’t believe it was so long without looking for him, but well.
This book pleasantly surprised me. When I felt that the story had nothing new to deliver, an enormity of new mysteries appeared. Among them Hunter’s dreams, Mel’s real identity, and characters like Kristen.
Demons, and the prophecies, and greatness. It all seemed far-reaching. But then again, if someone had told him five years ago that the world would fall to ruin, and witch-hunters would use magic, he would have thought it equally unlikely.
Mel is a very cute character who just wants to make friends. But a genuine chill ran down my spine when Hunter finds out who she really is.
After taking a moment to work out who Hunter was, Mel turned and went back to the house with all the appearance of a kicked puppy.
Knowing that this story was about a forbidden love, I expected another type of relationship. Normally I like stories in which forbidden love is achieved at all costs, while in this story love only served to complicate things, however they never really intended to have a relationship. Honeslty this was not bad, it was just different from what I expected.
This book deserves 4/5 stars for me. It is a good story and I find it to be recommendable and entertaining. However, many questions remained without satisfactory explanation, such as the origin of the dreams and the connection between Hunter and Sophie, the powers of Adam, Mel … complete ?. Also, I find it difficult to believe that a character like Lucy was a mere spectator in the story, I hoped that would influence much more.
Honorary mention to a character that I did not mention in my previous reviews and who is probably the best character in this saga. Mrs. Astley ?
[su_spoiler title=”Spoiler of Mel’s identity” icon=”chevron-circle”]“Mother! Mel does not have special needs. She is…” Hunter broke off. What could he tell his mother, that Mel was a demon, a servant of Satan? And worse, that Mel found Mrs Astley scarier than her master?”[/su_spoiler]

The world has been thrown into darkness by the Shadow Witch’s revolution. The witch-hunters are scattered, but still strong. The race is now on to gather allies and win the war. New enemies will arise; loyalties will be pushed to the limit. And an important question will be answered: can a witch-hunter that practices magic ever be trusted, or will he be persecuted? It is said that ‘love conquers all’, but this twisted love must stay secret, locked away with the past.
Review
Sophie fell in love with Hunter and vice versa. But they couldn’t be together and Sophie was determined to kill him. Until she stabbed him and felt the same pain he did. Apparently the baby creates a strange connection between them, so Sophie is forced to withdraw during her pregnancy, creating a moment of peace before the storm.
Hunter discovers that he has interesting abilities that allow him to travel from one place to another in a “blink” even taking others with him. He also has the ability to form an anti-magic shield, which proves to be a great advantage in a war against witches.
Thanks to Sophie (who accuses him of being a witch), he learns that these “powers” are similar to those of the Benandanti, an ancient anti-witch people who developed skills in their years of fighting witches and ended up being annihilated by the witch hunters themselves for their powers.
From this point, Hunter and James desperately searched for information about them, but there were no major results. It would be necessary to search their place of origin in Italy, but with the war that was being prepared Hunter could not abandon the MMC.
There had been a few hints from his research, but nothing solid. That the Benandanti could walk through dreams, that they could control the elements and manipulate the world around them. But no one mentioned how.
The truth is there is not much more to tell about this book. Yes, some interesting things happened and there is an advance in the story. However, I do not stop feeling that the real progress of the plot could have been made in just a couple of chapters.
I feel like Hunter’s reactions to having a child are too vague. An overreaction such as crying every time he remembers it would not be logical either, however, it is like he forgets his existence most of the time.
Hunter stilled at the mention of his son. Where was he now? At home with his grandmother, while his mother went on her killing spree?
Here the relationship between Sophie and Hunter is destroyed. It is clear that Sophie loves him, but is obsessed with doing her duty. But Hunter doesn’t seem to really love Sophie, at least his behavior doesn’t show it. And honestly it does not show either the desire for revenge that he should feel against her with everything she has done. There are very few moments of weakness when he shows any emotion towards Sophie.
When did this happen? A few years ago, he would hace enjoyed the attention. She was a pretty girl – they could have flirted, possibly slept together, and entertained some short-lived relationship. Hunter blamed Sophie, it had to be her fault. Or was it because he was a father – did that automatically make you mature and responsible?
It’s not a bad book nor did it bore me at any point, but it really disappointed me in terms of the development of the story. I still recommend it, as the entire saga is quite entertaining to read. K.S. Marsden is hilarious.
PS: In this book there is a conversation between Hunter and his team in which they tell him that he was Voldemort and Sophie Dumbledore. Pure gold.
