Review: The Last Dragon King - Book #1 Kings of Avalier Series - Leia Stone - September 2022


Wow, years ago I read a lot of fantasy as I was a big Vampires/Werewolves type reader in my late teens to mid 20's and then like we do with most things after doing it for a while, I got burned out with fantasy books and I stopped as I just couldn't do it anymore. This year though I decided to give a couple of fantasy books a read and I have read three books - they all fall under the YA/NA umbrella and each of them has been amazing. Because of this one of my reading goals for 2024 is to finally read the Sarah J Maas series and a bit more fantasy books.  The Last Dragon King was like Fantasy meets The Selection. In The Last Dragon King, the King is looking for a new wife who is strong enough to bear his children and be of marrying age. He is gathering up women from all over the lands and in the small town of Cinder - that includes Arwen. She has lived her life thinking that she is human as her dad was only 1/4 dragon-blood. When her father died when she was nine years old, she took over the role of being a hunter and gatherer to provide for her family. She has always been "one of the guys", that is until she catches the attention of the King. What happens though when her mum reveals a dark secret? Arwen is more powerful and more dragon-blood than she ever realized and with her newfound knowledge, she must conceal it as if it ever got out - she would be killed as she is a threat to all dragons. When the King falls for Arwen, can he accept her when he discovers her true lineage or will she be thrown into the dungeon ready to be executed because of her birthright? Find out all this and more in Book#1 The Last Dragon King. I am now looking forward to continuing the series and hope the next three books are just as great. PS - this book also contained amazing artwork prints on a few of the pages sprinkled throughout the book which gave readers a visual image of what the Dragon King and Arwen looked like.  The Last Dragon King by Leia Stone, should be on all romantasy/fantasy readers lists for 2023/2024.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
