A monstrous fate will turn a girl into a legend.
On an island in Lake Obersee, where The Sisters of St. Gertrude abide, a destitute Moor named Durra arrives. Sold for taxes, she and her two companions tend to the nuns and their collection of cats. At night, she combs the library for details on the order, the remote island, and the beasts howling outside her window.
But when a prank reveals the sisters’ gruesome secret, Durra is forced to accept a new fate. Bestowed an unearthly power, she must choose between life as a nun or living among the monsters beyond the convent walls.
Her path is about to change the tide in the ultimate war. The war between good and evil.
My Review:
Sisters of the moon was such a nice read. I enjoy the quick storyline of a mystery convent in the middle of the woods. Also get to meet and like some of the characters in the book. I thought the cover was very pretty looking and fits with the book theme. It was a very short fantasy read and hope maybe there be more books down the road.
I did liked Durra in the book. When you first met her she is a slave along with two other girls. Then they are safe in a very mysterious convent in the middle of no where. Durra comes out as the leader in the group. Also she is a rule follower and try to keep both girls in line. She is longing to belong and feels safe with the nuns. Durra very curious person and loves to read. Will she be the one to unlock the secrets inside the convent walls?
This fast pace read have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It a nice start to a new fantasy series if there is more to the story. It was a very detailed world building in such a small book. This book is good for any fantasy readers out there.
Happy Reading!!!!!

My Review:
This is book two of Crave if you have yet read book one, then you can disregard this review.
Crush pick up where we left off in the first book. Grace walking around the campus with no memory of what happen to her in the pass months. Each day Grace starts loosing track of the time and more memories. While everyone wonders what happens to Hudson, they find out he could be very close.
This book was such a fast pace read. I really love how much each have the characters have grown since the last book. There so many fun new characters you might love and enjoy. It still full of some fun twists and turns until the very end.
This time Grace is not a useless human, she finds out she a badass gargoyle. As we all have find out at the end of Crave. This time you will see her train and access her abilities and prove that she does belongs. Also while dealing, with two hot vampire brothers pinning for her attention.
So enjoy the fun in Crush.
Happy Reading!!!
My Review:
House of Dragons was action packed and full of fun. Well there may be some blood shed also. I was excited to get my hand on the arc at ala this year. Will end up buying it when I can. The world building is not as glamorous as you think it is. It’s full of bad people and killers. Of course they have dragons to make them more deadly. The main characters are ruthless and selfish at times but I did full in love with their dragons.
Emilia is the brains of the group. She knows everything between politics and the dragon trials. Her sister was supposed to go this year but she end up being picked. Now she must fight for her life or have her secery exposed.
Lucian is a big fighter and killer at the start of the book. He wants nothing to do with the dragon trials, but then he gets the call. He notice something different at first at the trials when he see Emilia his old best friend there. Lucian may seem uncaring, but I think Emilia brings out the best in him at times.
Vespir loves to train dragons and has a forbidden love with someone. Never she thought she would get call. She is no royal or even has a house name. Vespir knows nothing much of the ins and out being a royal, so why was she picked to rule?
Ajax is like the comedian in the group. He hardly takes anything series. Ajax is just thief and only cares about himself and his dragon, Dog. He feels sorry for Vespir because he knows they both are the weaknesses leak in the trials.
Hyperia is ruthless and would do anything to lead the kingdom, even kill her own sister to complete. She seems to have a soft side a little bit around Ajak, but I would not trust her. Only ruling the kingdom matters to her, even if she might have to kill again.
There so characters you either love or hate them in the end. The world building and everything was fantastic. Have not yet fallen in love with a character in the book yet.
Mostly I was falling in love with a dragon name, Dog. He has such a cute personality in the book. Dog acts like a dog at times. He is rut of the litter and just want to have fun and be love. While the other dragons are so series about their job. That enough on dragon the dog. I could go on forever.
This review is very long sorry. Lots of story and tons of characters to sort through. So many also twists and turns. Who will win in the end? I’m so looking forward for book two to come out.
Happy Reading!!!
My Review:
Are you ready to dive into a new Cinderella story with a twist?
Cinderella is a classic fairytale from Disney. It had been retold over the years. There some dark versions of it and different types of happily ever afters also. This book gave Cinderella more character and in depth which I did enjoy.
This time around Cinderella has more personality in the book. She is still caring person when her stepmother and sisters hurt her so much. Instead of the prince finding her in the end with the glass slipper, she ends up being sold.
Cinderella is resourceful in this book and manage to escape and work at the castle. Trying hard to get the price to notice her. She still has self doubt with him accepting who she is bc of her status and abuse over years from stepmother and stepsisters. Along the way she learn of an evil plot to dethrone the prince. Also Cinderella finds out magic been outlaw so she will try her best to save her godmother and help the people around her out.
So much is going on at once with the book. Which I did enjoy reading. This retelling is fun and a little action pack. Also I do love the cover for this book. Did enjoy the prince had his own story in the book as well. I did like the prince in the book. He is kind and cares about his people. Also he has an open mind in changing old rules to better the kingdom.
Looking for an awesome new fairytale read then check out So This is Love.
Happy Reading!!!!
My Review:
What happens when a famous Van Helsing goes to boarding school with every magical creature hating on them?
Mina Van Helsing in the beginning seems to know it. When she splits from the group, things don’t go as plan. Her best friend is attack and in a coma. Mina don’t remember what happen for the pass couple weeks. She gets whisk away to Van Helsing Academy a reform school for paranormal creatures. The downside everyone knows her and hates her. While seeking answers on what happen she must watch her back
Van Helsing Academy is like any other high school out. You have the jocks, the popular girls and the hot alpha male ruling the school. Mina will have to try hard to fit in if she wants to stay alive.
I did enjoy this book a lot. It was fun and action pack. I like how Mina lets her guard down, and understand not all the monsters she heard about are evil. Also she start to get an understanding the changes of the school for the past couple of years. Mina does form some unlikely allies to help along the way. Wish the book was a little bit longer, but excited to see what happens next in book two.
Happy Reading!!!

My Review:
What happens when your life turn upside and move into a boarding school?
Grace has lost everything and now she moves in with her cousin and uncle. They live an boarding school, which things are not as they seem. Being a new girl is hard enough, but you got everyone staring at you.
Grace feels like something more going on at this school, there are some family secrets she discovers along the way.
Jaxon a close off from everyone and is a vampire, wants nothing to do with Grace being at the school. They always bump heads, even if Grace don’t know that he is a vampire at first.
Grace is about to discover this magical world that seems so unreal.
This book was so good. I enjoyed the story and the setting to it. Who would have thought there be a boarding school with magical creatures.
I did like Grace in the book. She had a trouble past, and cooping with a lot of change, but she is smart enough to know something is up at the school.
I love Jaxon so much, he is in his own little world. Kinda rules the school and won’t let anyone get out of line. Grace makes things hard on him since she don’t play by Jaxon rules.
This is a new fresh take with the vampire genre and I’m glad I was able to read it. It was fun and exciting read, with a ending leaving you wanting me.
Crave recently came out today, so you might want to check it out.
Happy Reading!!!
My Review:
A world filled with water and hidden secrets.
Tempe is all alone when her parents and sister passed away. She learn a shocking secret about her sister, so she will do whatever it takes to relieve her and get answers.
What was Elysea doing on the day her parents disappeared and how did she really die?
Lor who works in the basement of the revival place. He has his secrets why he keeps to himself and likes it better that way. For a flavor from his only friend, he helps him out for the day. He is in charge of over seeing Elysea revival.
When Tempe escape with her dead sister, Lor is in for a big adventure.
I really did enjoy the storyline a lot. It was something so original and different. The characters are very likeable and fun when the interact with each other. Tempe is very smart and willing to do whatever it takes to get answers. Elysea trying to comes to terms what happen, that she dead. She tries hard to remember that night and don’t want anyone in trouble for escaping. Lor not very good talking with people, he just don’t his friend to get in trouble. Plus he hiding some secrets about the revival.
Lor, Tempe, and Elysea set on an adventure on the high seas. If they don’t end up killing each other.
This book was very hard to review and explain so I did the best I can. I love the world building and everything. Even the cover is so pretty.
Happy Reading!!!
