Omen of Stones Trailer Review

Title: The Omen of Stones
Author: Casey L. Bond
Genre: YA Fantasy
Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen
Cover & Trailer Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Publication Date: March 13th, 2020
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb:  Spirit and Stone. Song and Sky. Fate and Future all align.
On my seventeenth birthday, I finally heard Fate’s voice. He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart.
Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdom’s borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon.
Captured by purists dead-set on purging the Kingdom of magic and witches, my salvation came in the form of a mysterious girl who wielded stones like daggers. Something about her called to me, whispering we were stronger together, strong enough to stand against the dark forces threatening to crush my kingdom. Trusting Fate could jeopardize my heritage and my throne, but defying him could cost Omen’s life.

Bloodline Revelations Review


Author: Iuliana Foos

My Review: Blood line Revelations brought about a prophecy one that would turn out to be an answer to a heart not sure it could love such a creature. As alien and vampire worlds collide so do Theodora and Alex. Life isn't always easy and sometimes prophecies do get in the way. Love comes in all forms including anger. It's what we do with our love that changes everything. Alex and Theodora's journey was far from simple but if love could line the way these two might just have it all. My heart soared as every word brought me closer to what I hoped would be a happily ever after. Make no mistake there is no fairy tale here just a story of a vampire and an alien who just might make you forget about All those other stories that came before

Bloodline Destinies Review


Author: IuLiana Foos

My Review: Bloodline Destinies no truer love story ever told. I fell deep into the pages and came out in love with Theo and Vivienne's story. A page turner indeed. Fate played an awesome game with these two. As the lines in the book blurred and swayed to the music of these two hearts. Forever entwined yet fearful and resistant. Theo has to give into fate and Vivienne her heart will they finally be together? I had to see these hearts beat as one they were meant to be no matter how afraid or in denial they were, it had to be. Doesn't it? When true love is the price what are you willing to sacrifice.

Bloodline Origins Review


Author: IuLiana Foos

My Review: From the moment I opened this book I knew my adventure would be different from all the others this story would take me to a whole new level of imagination. I was not disappointed! Bloodline Origins wrapped it's pages around me and sent my imagination on a journey unexplored. I met characters that set my heart to soar. I fell in love I laughed I even cried a little. I took a deep breath and when the last page was done I felt alone and immediately knew that the only cure was to search out the next book!

Elemental Fae Academy (Book One) Review


Author (s): Lexi C. Foss & J.R. Thorn


My Review: Book one of the Elemental Fae Academy can not be consumed fast enough. I wanted to know more with every turn of the page. Every facet of the book held my interest and had me cut off from the reality occurring around me . It is a whirlwind of a story with very real to life characters. . I got lost in Exos and Titus the hottest things happening! Claire (main character) really has her hands full on the hotness scale with these two. Exos and Titus keep it pretty steamy most of the time. Now that's not the only thing going on in the book there are lots of other adventures that take place but I will leave them up to you to discover on your own. Elemental Fae Academy is fulfilling, adventurous, butt kicking, steamy and a complete whirlwind that will leave you begging for the next book to come along! So scoop up this series, grab a drink, sit back and hold on for the ride because it's sure to be a good one! I know I will!

How To Save the Dragon Review

Written By: Madeleine Matthews

My Review: What an amazing way to help kids understand controlling their emotions! This story was so cute! I loved meeting Flappy and Wrinkles! How To Save The Dragon is a great story to sit and read and then talk to your children or grandchildren with. Help them explain how it makes them feel when things don't go well or as they planned. Very well written and has a great message.

Review of Cupcakes and Casualty By Kat McGee





My Review: Cupcakes and Casualty is quaint and cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. While there were a few places in the book that I got tangled in what character did what and who was who. I still found the book enjoyable and sometimes comedic. I enjoyed the characters Aunt Cee Cee being my favorite. Even though she's not the main character she brings in some fun perspectives and is a true southern witch! The story winds around the murder of tour guide Lewanda Gail and spins it around everyone in town having you find out that Lewanda was not so liked by everyone. Then it leaves you trying to figure out if you really know who did it. A fun quirky cuddle up read. Give it a read.

When Wishes Bleed: https://books2read.com/u/m2r12d
I looked around at our house, then to the boy standing in it, into his honey-gold eyes. “I don’t regret saving you, and I don’t regret bringing you here, or making salve for you, or letting you stay. I don’t regret walking with you to see the flood. But if I had let those men drown you, or if I would’ve left you bound in the rope when I had the means to sever it, or outside without a roof over your head when I had one to offer… If I’d refused to ease the pain in your wrists, River, I would have regretted it. I would have regretted every second of any and all of those choices.”
