Here I am again, reviewing a Kelley Armstrong book. I've already reviewed the first book, Sea of Shadows, so I recommend you read that review if you haven't read the first one.
I was anxiously awaiting this sequel and finished the book quickly b/c it was one of those "ignore the house and feed the kids pizza so you can read" books. I will again say only read her YA books if you don't want to read sex or language. Her adult books are ADULT!
I usually hate when an author introduces a new love interest in a second book, after I've already become invested in the first love interest. Congratulations to Kelley Armstrong for making me break my routine. I LOVE the new love interest for Moira. I love, love, love him and hope that she does not go back to Gavril in the 3rd book. Also, I thought that Ashyn's story would flower and grow and the author manages to twist the story enough that I can't predict what will happen. I really when authors can still find a way to surprise b/c honestly, I find that the more books I read, the more I can predict the storyline. She manages to surprise and keep me happy as a reader.
I'm so anxious for book 3 to come out!!!!
I will reshare this warning though:
Some of this series is a bit dark, a little graphic in the reanimation
of dead in this book. If you can stomach that and continue to read for
the magical/mystical side of the book, then you will enjoy it. If
zombies or necromancers or morbid magic is not your cup of tea, then
this book is not for you.
Amazon description:
In this heart-stopping sequel to the New York Times bestselling Sea of Shadows, which Kirkus Reviews
called "a standout," Ashyn and Moria must overcome deadly enemies—not
all of them human—as they attempt to help avert a war for the empire.
Blending fantasy, romance, danger, and action, Kelley Armstrong sends
readers on a thrilling journey through an unforgettable world, perfect
for fans of Graceling and Game of Thrones.
Sisters
Moria and Ashyn are the Keeper and Seeker of Edgewood. Or at least they
were. Their village is gone. Their friends have betrayed them. And now,
the emperor has sent them on a mission to rescue the captured children
of Edgewood—accompanied by Prince Tyrus and a small band of imperial
warriors. But the journey proves more perilous than any of them could
have imagined. And with treachery and unrest mounting in the empire, the
girls are running out of places to turn.

Cast in Stone by A.F. Dery
This book is super fast paced and kinda throws you in the middle of the story without too much explanation. Strangely, it works for me. I love the pace. I love the characters particularly Rupert and I love the way the heroine, Celia, grows. She starts off bitter and closed off and you have no idea why but I love watching the story unfold the past. There is no bad language (that I can think of) and there is no sex. It has a romantic quality to the story which is unusual for me but I love the way the reader knows they are in love before they know it. The action is good but it is almost too fast paced toward the end. The author could've used 2 more chapters to explain the final battle but ah well.....
Here's waiting till the sequel is out.
Amazon description:
After her parents are murdered by a brutal warlord, Celia makes it her ultimate mission to bring him to justice, but she can't do it alone.
Rupert is a criminal mage whose sentenced execution is commuted if he agrees to serve as Celia's Guardian until her mission is complete.
But what looks like the perfect opportunity for them both quickly turns into the perfect catastrophe. In the fall out, she is betrayed by those she trusted most. Now on the run, Celia and Rupert find not only their lives in jeopardy, but also their hearts.
Torn between her old vow and a new love, Celia must choose justice...or vengeance.

The Fire Seer by Amy Raby
When I looked at this book online, it had a few bad reviews but sometimes the reviews are subjective (like mine are) so I took a chance. I'll say that the argument that most people had was not what made me dislike this book. I actually liked this book for the most part but the parts where a really foul curse word showed up made me cringe....not the mild foul words but the big nasty 4 letter ones and it was then I decided I wouldn't read this book again and I wouldn't read the sequels. In addition, at the very near-end of the book, there is a pretty gratuitous love scene so there were my strikes. My big no-nos for reading a book. So I will say if you are a teenager or a lady (or man) that likes to sensor what you read, this book is not for you. I'll leave you with the description and I will say that I didn't have any issues with the love story of this book. If you read the reviews and wonder about it all, just know that I didn't think it was all that bad.
Amazon description:
Taya has risen from humble roots to become a fire seer in the Coalition of Mages. Eager to prove herself, she arrives in the town of Hrappa to locate a “jackal”—a mage operating outside the Coalition’s authority—who has murdered three people.
But in Hrappa, she discovers that the man assigned to be her bodyguard is Mandir, her nemesis from years ago. When she and Mandir were students, he bullied her so severely he was sentenced to a year of penance and moved to another temple.
When Mandir sees that he’s been partnered with Taya, all his old torment comes rushing back. He’s had a crush on Taya since the day they began their training, but he pushed her away, ashamed of his attraction to someone so far beneath his social class. He regrets that now and intends to make an honest attempt to win her heart—if she can forgive him for his past sins.
But first they must find the murderous jackal, before the jackal finds them.

Bound Triology Book 1 and 2 by Kate Sparks
The saddest thing I have to say in this review is that book #3 is not out yet! I have been anxiously waiting this sequel and got it last week. It didn't take me long to go through that puppy.
Rowan is a girl who thinks she wants adventure. She has a nice life and a nice future but like so many of us, she dreams of "more" and "excitement". Ironically, once she gets it, she realizes it is more work than she thought.
A few things I love about this series:
1. the love story. I love that there is no love triangle though it does take them both awhile to realize that they do indeed love one another.
2. I love Aren. I seem to have a thing for bad boy/assassin types in books. Maybe b/c my husband is nothing like that. Aren is a dude who is clearly NOT misunderstood. He has done bad things. I kinda don't like a period in the second book where he is a little whiney about "I want to be a good guy but it's easier to be bad and maybe it's too late for me to be good. What do I do? blah blah blah" However, toward the end of the second book he has a realization where he says "I will never be the white knight. But maybe this fairy tale has the girl falling for the black prince instead." If ever I were gonna fall for the black prince, it would be this book. I love him.
3. I love the side characters, Kel and Cassia. I love the mer-people! Yeah, you heard me, mer-people. Not normally what I go for in a story but these two are awesome. And they show up in both books! Score two for one!
4. I love that Rowan grows up. She is a little naive in places but girl gets her feisty on when she needs to and I love that. Plus she's smart. I mean, she is an intellectual, not some vapid pretty girl or uber-warrior. She is just smart and thinks things out when the pressure is on. It ends up being one of her more endearing qualities.
I will say that there are moments where I found the story to be a bit wordy. I also think she adds a lot of detail, almost to the point where it deters from the story. But overall, I really enjoy the books. Young adults (teens) beware: there is some foul language in this book and there is a bit of "promiscuity". There aren't gratuitous sex scenes but she does elude to sexual situations. Nothing too bad that takes away from the story so that's a positive. It makes sense to the love story but isn't so steamy that you feel naughty for reading it.
I recommend this book. Read it, like it, anxiously await book 3. You know I am :)
Amazon description of:
Bound:
Welcome to Darmid, where magic is a sin, fairy tales are contraband, and the people live in fear of the Sorcerers on the other side of the mountains.
Rowan Greenwood has everything she's supposed to want from life—a good family, a bright future, and a proposal from a handsome and wealthy magic hunter. She knows she should be content with what she has. If only she could banish the idea that there's more to life than marriage and children, or let go of the fascination with magic she's been forced to suppress since childhood.
When Rowan unknowingly saves the life of one of her people’s most feared enemies, that simple act of compassion rips her from her sheltered life and throws her into a world of magic that’s more beautiful, more seductive, and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
Rowan might get everything she ever dreamed of—that is, if the one thing she's always wanted doesn't kill her first.
Torn:
Aren Tiernal knows that safety is an illusion, that his cruel and powerful brother will never forgive his betrayal. Still, returning to Tyrea to challenge Severn for the throne would be suicide. It’s not until Severn himself comes to collect what’s owed to him that Aren decides to risk everything in an attempt to bring down the most powerful Sorcerer Tyrea has ever known. The mission seems doomed to fail, but it’s Aren’s only chance to save himself, his country, and the woman who thawed his heart.
Rowan Greenwood has troubles of her own. Though she should be a great Sorceress, years of being closed off from her magic have left her unable to control her incredible power. When a pair of ominous letters arrive from her home country, Rowan has to choose between her new life and a chance at saving her family—and just maybe changing an entire country’s beliefs about the evils of magic.
Torn apart by separate quests, Rowan and Aren will have to discover untapped strengths and confront their darkest fears in order to overthrow a ruler determined to destroy them both.

Courtlight Series by Terah Edun
I'm going to write a first: a review on a series of books that I haven't finished. And that probably says something in and of itself.
I read Books 1, 2, and 3 of this series and I started book 4 but the author did what I hate! She drags the story out and out and out and out and just adds more and more characters without really offering any resolutions for the conflicts. It gets cumbersome and makes it hard to keep anything straight. She spends the first three books trying to create a love story in a series only to introduce a whole nother love interest in book 4 and I got so bogged down that I did the unthinkable: I read the last chapter of book 6! And guess what: she hasn't resolved it by then either! Apparently there are more books in the series and I have no idea who she will end up with! It's crazy so I stopped.....I just stopped reading! I don't know if I'll ever finish it! In fact, I invite you all to read it and tell me how it ends. Then maybe I'll go back and finish it.
Amazon description:
Sworn To Raise
Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the empire. But beneath her empire's seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept crown Prince are growing ever louder--intensified by the five year anniversary of the soulbond initiations.
Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to train for the Companions Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal journey to become a Court Companion. A position she'd never thought possible for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to attract a Patron.
But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court sworn to bring him down.
Sworn To Transfer
Eighteen-year-old companion trainee Ciardis Weathervane has won the friendship of the royal heir and saved his claim to the throne. Yet her interference in the inheritance rights leaves more harm done than good. The Ameles Forest lies unprotected and it's inhabitants are dying.
As humans begin to die in gruesome deaths, the Emperor dispatches the royal heir to the forests with the solution to the kith concerns.
With enemies closing ranks in Sandrin, Ciardis can little afford to leave the city's nest of vipers to take on a new task. But she's given no choice when her loyalty to the crown and courts are called into question.
To keep the Companions' Guild happy and the favor of the Imperial Court, Ciardis will be tested in frightening new ways, especially when she's faced with an obstacle that could risk the lives of her friends and the family she never thought she had.
Sworn To Conflict
Ciardis Weathervane fought for the living dead and won. But worse than taking on a mass murderer, was her discovery that she had been deceived by her friends. Now she needs to not only fight a war in the North and survive, but also decide where she stands in the midst of competing sides.
A threat to all she holds dear lies in the North and her heart is not the only thing she might lose. A massive army awaits in the mountain pass, surging closer to the gates of the southern lands. Nothing the Algardis army has done so far has dissuaded their march forward and Ciardis finds out that her powers to enhance are needed now more than ever.
As she faces her greatest fears on the battlefields and her heart is torn between her love of Sebastian and loyalty to her family, Ciardis must choose her fate carefully. For in her path, lies the destiny of the empire.

The Otherworld Trilogy by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson
I started the first book of this series b/c it came in an anthology of faery stories. I thought it might be interested and I was not disappointed. This book has some things I love in a book to read when you need an escape: fairies, magic, and Celtic mythology. I'm fascinated by mythology but obviously I'm far more familiar with Greek mythology than any other kind. However, I'm finding that I enjoy reading other stories as well: Roman, Norse, Celtic, etc. This book has all those things.
There is a little bit of foul language in it and I think it implies sex more than describes anything to make you uncomfortable.
I find Meghan likable enough. She does get to be a bit whiney at times but I'm pleased that the author does not leave unexplained moments. For instance, any time you have a teen disappear into another world, often the author leaves it unexplained why her parents didn't notice her missing. This author does not do that. She covers her bases; she back-stories everything.
Her real character that I adore is Cade. He's typical hero/love interest in that he's a tortured soul who fears she won't love him if she knows his past but we all know how those stories usually go. I also love that the author lets Cade get hurt. He's not indestructable and she doesn't try to make him seem that way. I love that. I love that he can be insecure, fearful and he can be hurt. He is the one who shows restraint in the story. He has potential to be one of my fictional faves.
I recommend this book if you like mythology and magic. It's a good escape and the trilogy is complete so BONUS!
Amazon description:
This Omnibus Edition includes the entire Otherworld Trilogy, as well as a commentary from the author, an interview with the main characters, a map of Eile, and a short story from the author's other series, The Legend of Oescienne.
Books in the Otherworld Trilogy:
Faelorehn - Book One

Meghan Elam's life may not have been perfect, but at least it was somewhere just outside the realm of normal. Of course, it only gets worse when Cade MacRoich shows up and saves her from a pack of bloodthirsty monsters. And Cade doesn't stop after playing the part of the redeeming hero. He informs Meghan that she is not human, but Faelorehn and immortal. With the help of her mysterious rescuer, Meghan gradually learns who she truly is and that danger waits for her around every corner, danger that only grows when she ventures into the Otherworld. Between a vindictive goddess nipping at her heels and a mother who has been keeping secrets from her, Meghan must learn her new place in a magical and terrifying world, a world she is now very much a part of.

The Golden Apple by Michelle Diener
I had a hard time deciding to review this book b/c it was short and fairly unmemorable. I think I finished this book in under 12 hours which is one reason it was pretty easy to forget. I didn't read it so quickly b/c I was that into it. I read it that quick b/c it was short and not much to it. There is a little mention of sex in it but nothing gratuitous. This book has what I like in a plot: an idea of romance, magic, and an unexpected heroine. But it was short and not very complex in the plot. I won't say it was bad and I may read the sequel.....if I can get it for free which is how I got the first book.
Amazon description:
Kayla’s world has been turned upside-down . . .
Her father has made her the prize in a deadly, impossible tournament, and Kayla has retaliated in the only way she knows how; by choosing her champion beforehand. But taking control of the outcome changes the game completely, and when the real reason behind the strange test becomes apparent, Kayla realizes not just her life, but her entire kingdom is at stake.
Rane’s honor is torn in two…
In order to save his brother, Rane will do whatever he has to–including deceive and betray a princess. He knew nothing about this tournament would be easy, but when it turns into a deeper, far more sinister game, Rane is forced to see it through to the end, or leave his brother at the mercy of their enemy.
Now their fates are entwined, and they must venture into the deep, dark forest together . . .
Kayla and Rane are bound to one another by an enchantment and Kayla’s actions. But the sorcerer forcing them to do his will may have miscalculated, because no-one comes out of the Great Forest unchanged. No-one.
The Golden Apple is followed by its sequel, The Silver Pear.
