** Little aside note - I originally reviewed this prior to it's release in 2019. There are now 4 books in the series. Each reads as a standalone. I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite but Book 2 has a vampire that owns a bookstore ...... so I mean really that does give it an edge ...... and Book 4 has a Goblin King ...... which even though he isn't Jareth .... Anything that makes me think of the Labyrinth is a win lol ** My Review Followers of my reviews will know that I am a huge Kristen Painter fan, and as such I couldn't wait to get my hands on this new series! If you are new to Kristen Painter this is a great place to start. This is the first in a totally new series set in "Shadowvale" - a haven for the cursed, both supernatural and human, that you can only find if the town deems you need to be there. Yes you read that correctly - THE TOWN decides - as in the town is sort of alive, which is fun and different. It has all the things I have come to expect from a Kristen Painter book, amazing character detail, including the secondary characters, which I personally feel can make or break a book, a quirky new town, and a little mystery that gets wrapped up so NO CLIFFHANGERS! As a debut for a series goes this one totally knocked it out the park. Fans of the Nocturne Falls series won't be disappointed, and new fans can jump on for what looks to be a fun ride! I can't wait for book 2 to release. I didn't think a town would top Nocturne Falls as a place I'd want to move to but Shadowvale might be it. Wonder if the gates would let ME in! An easy 5 stars from me! Followers of my reviews will know that I am a huge Kristen Painter fan, and as such I couldn't wait to get my hands on this new series!

Arsonist's Lullaby (The Ever Chace Chronicles #7) By Susan Harris Release Day Review and Giveaway!10/4/2020
Review - Plus Giveaway AFTER The Review! AND Be Sure To Check Out My Interview With Susan Here! (Hint You'll need to have checked before you enter the giveaway lol) So here we are! The penultimate book in what continues to be a complete roller-coaster ride of a series. The stakes have never been higher than they are at the beginning of this book, and without giving spoilers, all I can say is that just when you think you might have figured out what's going to happen - I would bet good money that you haven't. Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I have been a fan of this series since day 1, and Susan continues to push the limits, the action, and reader stress levels, in a way that few others do. If you haven't started this series yet - what are you waiting for? Book 1 Skin and Bones is currently free! For those that have been anxiously awaiting this installment - you will NOT be disappointed. The only down side is that when you are done, and your mouth is hanging open - you will realize that the wait is on again for the final installment. On the plus side at least I don't think even Susan can manage to cliffhanger that one. A solid 5 stars from me and definitely Melanie's Muses approved! If you missed the book 8 annoucement during the live you can watch it here - then scroll down for the giveaway!  GIVEAWAY DETAILS & HOW TO ENTER!

My Review
I LOVE this series. When I heard they were making "The Great" for Hulu I was excited, because I love this story, but ended up being disappointed because it just wasn't as good as this series. Seriously for $0.99 for the WHOLE series? You can't go wrong! This is an excerpt from my original review of Queen of Someday when it first released in 2014 and I can tell you the ride just kept going, until it ended up full circle. Amazing! "Loosely based on the history of Catherine the Great this YA historical novel hooks you from the first page. Fans of the tv show Reign will devour this series and with good reason. The characters are vibrant and demand you give them attention, the setting is royal and the history is ......... Well there's some history in there ..... But if I wanted accurate I would read a history book. Think more along the lines of the Tudors than a documentary and you won't be disappointed." |
