Into the Fire by Kelly Hashway ~ Review

Being given the chance to review Into The Fire was a dream come true.

As many of you will know, I am always on the lookout for YA books with unique concepts. There's nothing better than reading a book and seeing the way an author has twisted and shaped familiar elements into something new and improved. 

That type of author is the kind that can turn an ordinary plot into a tale whose every word keeps you on the edge of your seat.



So get ready for a smoking hot book yes this is start of my use of Into the Fire puns YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Enchanting Editions ~ Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia by Christopher Paolini

It's time for another Enchanting Editions post!

The Enchanting Editions tag covers some of the treasured and special books that have a home on my bookshelves - books which stand out, either due to their outsides or their insides.

Today's featured book is Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia by Christopher Paolini.

I remember the first time I ever laid eyes on this book and COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT BECAUSE WHO HASN'T DREAMED OF BEING A DRAGON RIDER?!  It was a truly a delight to own with its shiny gold lettering, breathtaking illustrations, and fun surprises.

The front (see image above) is a dream come true. I love tactile covers - especially ones that mimic dragon scales. Petting this cover is the closest I will probably ever get to being Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. The fake gems on the front are cool to the touch and paired with the archaic gold borders make for a stunning cover. Not to mention the Inheritance series signature font has been used for the title *cue the fangirling*.

Lights, camera...action!

Welcome aboard The Consequence of Seduction by Rachel Van Dyken Blog Tour! The Consequence of Seduction is the third book in the hilarious Consequence series.

Warning: it will make you laugh until tears run down you face.

The Prophecy of Shadows (Elementals #1) by Michelle Madow ~ Review

Mythology fans get ready for a new adventure.

I'd been seeing this book's gorgeous cover plastered all over my wonderful friend Library Luv's Twitter page for some time...when one day it popped up on Netgalley. Needless to say I knew I had to give it a read, pronto!



 In The Prophecy of Shadows Nicole Cassidy and a few of her friends (and not-so friends!) are gifted powers over the elements. Knowing that, I thought the book was going to go one of two ways: either this would be a Percy Jackson-esque squad or we'd be steering into X-Men territory both of which are awesome directions to go in btw. 

But Michelle Madow surprised me and created a magic system that had unique elements of its own...whilst being just as badass as the aforementioned franchises! Three cheers for girl power because Nicole kicked some serious bad-guy ass in this book, people.



So if you're ready for some magic, mystery, and a sprinkle of romance, read on for my thoughts on the book + a sneak peek...

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace & The Mystery of Hollow Places by Rebecca Podos ~ Reviews

There are authors and there are wordsmiths. 

Authors write. Wordsmiths use language to create. They piece together worlds, characters, and situations that practically leap off of the page.

Wordsmiths don't write down the first word or literary cliché that comes to mind. 

They find unique ways of shaping their stories and piecing together words - in ways I wish I could emulate.

Today I have for you two 2016 releases that were most certainly written by wordsmiths: Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace & The Mystery of Hollow Places by Rebecca Podos.

The Dreamer by E. J. Mellow ~ Review

I had the pleasure of interviewing the lovely E. J. Mellow on my blog awhile back, where she discussed the intricate world of her Dreamland series and her inspiration for it. The interview can be read here.

After discussing the series and its intriguing concepts I just knew I had to get my hands on The Dreamer ASAP. Not only did the plot and characters sound incredible, but I have a weakness for pretty books and this book has a cover that belongs on a book fashion runway the title hinted at a world of possibilities that I couldn't wait to discover.

Today, ladies and gentlemen and dragons queens plus handsome men in top hats, I am finally going to review this masterpiece of a book! I'm excited to share with you my thoughts on it + which bits put a smile on my face (hint hint: all of them involve a HOT HOT HOT reasonably good-looking male by the name of Dev).

So let's...get...fangirling!

I am thrilled to be introducing a new tag on my blog: Enchanting Editions!

Enchanting Editions will be covering some of the treasured and special books that have a home on my bookshelves - books which stand out, either due to their outsides or their insides.

Today's featured book is The Classic Fairy Tale Treasury by Armand Eisen.

I've had this beauty ever since I was around 5 years old and the years have been nothing but kind to it. Decked inside and out with breathtaking illustrations, The Classic Fairy Tale Treasury is a certainly book worth staring at!

The front (see images above) is overflowing with a myriad of detailed fairytale characters. As a child and I freely admit also as an adult! I wanted the fairy's dress so bad! The GOLD! The LACY DETAILS! Not to mention her hair is total perfection #SheWokeUpLikeThis.
