Wow is all I can after reading THE SILVER MIST by author Yasmine Galenorn. If you haven’t read this series yet, I urge you to try it ASAP. Its full of great characters, a marvelous changing world that sucks the reader in and doesn’t let them go and storylines that just captivate the reader. If you haven’t read The Hallowed Hunt (book 5) then I hope you do because book six picks up a bit after the end of that one and man, is this sixth book a doozy! I absolutely LOVE this series. It’s right up there with her Otherworld series where so many different characters meld into a story/series with ease and I love how much fun this Wild Hunt series is. Book six, THE SILVER MIST, takes the Wild Hunt group to the Olympic Peninsula and there they find creatures deadlier than even than they could imagine. I really love how the author keeps the reader glued to the pages with THE SILVER MIST. I couldn’t put it down as I wanted to know more and what would happen to the characters I have fallen in love with. The story flows smoothly and swiftly, drawing the reader into its web right off the bat. By the end of chapter one., I needed to keep reading to see where the author would go with the Wild Hunt gang.

What I love about Ms. Galenorn’s writing is her masterful way she world builds and creates her characters. Sometimes the world building is so amazing but the characters are flat and vice versa that the reader is disappointed but for any of the books I read from this author-and it’s pretty much all of them at this point-I have never been disappointed in either her world building or characters. She is a master at both, and it shows in her Wild Hunt series. With a story that continues from book five, The Hallowed Hunt, we are treated to a story that has several twists I sure did not see coming and left me breathless. When I turned the last page, Iso wanted to read more. I am thrilled she is continuing this series and giving Raven her own spin-off adventures because man, she is one amazing character I want to know more about.

THE SILVER MIST is a fun, fast paced story that will leave you gripping the pages until the very end. I love how evolved the core group of characters are with each book and I keep finding new things to love about them. Plus, some amazing new characters periodically pop up and keep the series from becoming boring as well. If you love adventure, intriguing mysteries, paranormal/urban fantasy stories that engage your imagination than I highly recommend this series and urge you to start at the beginning, The Silver Stag, as each book builds on the previous book. I can not wait for the next books to be here so I can get my fix in a new series that is swiftly becoming one of my favorites to reread.

Wow is all I can say after reading A SHADOW OF CROWS. The Wild Hunt is fast becoming one of my favorite series of this author. I can’t get enough of this series. Its full of some of the most amazing cast of characters that just are so unique and intriguing. I mean I never heard of the Ante-Fae until this series and am loving the introduction of Raven into the Wild Hunt series. This new story brings Ember even closer to the Cruharach and her relationship with Herne continues to evolve and get more solid as time goes on but trouble looms as the new case, they take on also introduces some issues that may break Ember and Herne apart. I love this author’s writing and in her new installment in the Wild Hunt series we see her trademark writing style in all its glory and the reader can’t help but enjoy all the fun this author throws at her characters. The story flows swift and there are a few twists I sure did not see coming.

Will the wild Hunt solve this new case? Can Ember and Herne survive the bombshells coming? All this and more are in this new book and the author does an amazing job in keeping the tension on slow boil throughout the story and add in a few sexy times with Ember and Herne well, there is enough to keep the reader glued to the pages tillthe very end. I liked the mystery of Raven’s missing fiancé and look forward to more diverse cases for the Wild Hunt to solve. If you enjoy a darker urban fantasy filled with fae, mythology and more then you will enjoy the Wild Hunt series. I can’t wait to see where the author goes next in book five, The Hallowed Hunt. Run-don’t walk-to grab this series and get ready for fun, adventure and lots of pure reading enjoyment.

Book Review- Year One by Nora Roberts

The world finds itself being overcome by The Doom and as governments crumble and The Uncanny's show  up more and more, it will take a select few to battle against the dark. The battle of good vs. evil has begin. Which side are you on?

My Rating for Year One: 5 Stars and a Recommended Read

New Year’s Eve was supposed to be happy and joyous except death stalks the world, waiting to unleash its wrath, one person at a time. It came, silent and deadly. Killing one person, infecting another and The Doom, as it is called, spreads causing chaos, destruction of world governments and more even as select few survive but with powers only found in fairy tales. Shifters, Fae and fairies, seers and more become even more prevalent. Some follow the light and good, while others relish in the dark. They are called The Uncanny and the battle between light and dark has begun amid the ruins of the world. Fear, hope, love and magick become the new normal for the survivors. But first they have to survive…

YEAR ONE by Nora Roberts is departure from her previous trilogies where it is paranormal/urban fantasy to the core. This new book into a new trilogy takes her writing onto a new path and the reader better hang on tight, the ride is about to get deadly. The writing just flows on the pages, the reader gets caught up in the story and you can not help but stand behind the survivors as they navigate a world gone mad. This is a story that will take you by the throat and lead you places in the story that will haunt you days after you finish the book.

YEAR ONE is a stirring and captivating story that showcase the reliance of some plucky survivors and the world as we know it cease to exist. Coffee, hot showers, electricity and all the stuff we take for granted cease and those who survive The Doom, find themselves trying to survive on the scraps they find or barter for. There is a core group the story centers on and will toggle back and forth within the story for a time as the author keeps the story moving evenly and quickly. You meet Max and Lana, Chuck, Fred and a few more that will steal your heart and never let go. YEAR ONE delivers a pulse pounding ride from start to finish and captivates the reader right off the bat.

YEAR ONE is stunning departure for Ms. Roberts and one that I fell in love with. The story starts innocently enough but morphs into a future that could happen. The author takes a tired genre (Post-Apocalyptic/Dystopian) and flips it around, delivering a fresh new take on it that will reel you in and never let you go. This book just sucked me in and literally had me eager to finish it, even when I was at work. The only drawback I got to say was I must wait for book two. If you enjoy a new take on post-apocalyptic tales, then you will devour YEAR ONE in one sitting. I highly recommend this fascinating and thrilling new book by an author who knows just how to weave a spell around her readers and entertain them till the very end.

Book Review- Moon Shimmers by Yasmine Galenorn

What an exciting begining to the final three books in the Otehrworld Series by talented storyteller, Yasmine Galenorn. Hold onto your hats, folks, the final battel is about to start.

My Rating for Moon Shimmers: 5 Stars and Series is a Recommended Read!

Before Camille can fulfill her destiny as Fae Queen of Dusk and Twilight, she needs to travel back to the Otherworld to find the fabled Keraastar Diamond. That magical gem will help her take control over the Keraastar Knights so we can go to the final battle against the demon lord, Shadow Wing. But first she’ll have to travel the dangerous Tygerian Mountains and face a magical trial by fire. If she succeeds, the life she leads will change in that instant. If she fails, well, let’s just say get ready for the forces of Shadow Wing to overcome all. But in the face of all adversity, Camille can count on her three husbands, her sisters and close family & friends to keep her from giving into her fear. Because this is war and the final battel against Shadow Wing is coming, whether they like it or not.

Wow, is all I can say in the first book in the final three books in this acclaimed and thrilling series by author Yasmine Galenorn. She delivers a pulse pounding ride from start to finish. I laughed, I cried, then smiled just a bit more as I flipped through the pages of MOON SHIMMERS. This author knows how to deliver a story and weave a spell around her readers right from the start. I adore this author’s books and this series was in fact my first taste of her writing. The world-building is just phenomenal, the characters continue to grow and evolve as the series moves along to the final three books in the spirit seals story arc and the writing is just beyond compare. MOON SHIMMERS deliver so much within the pages of it that I cannot help but be eager for the next book which is Delilah’s story, Harvest Song (out in 2018). I do want to say that you need to read this in order to get the full effect of the spirit seals arc. 

Camille D’Artigo is a half-human, half-fae witch who has been on the front lines against Shadow Wing, a demon lord, bent on destroying Earth and the Otherworld. If Camille, her sisters, Delilah and Menolly along with their significant others, family and friends, can’t stop him then all will be lost. I fell in love with these three sisters right from the first book, Witchling. I was enamored by the fast pace story-line, intriguing concept of a story arc and characters that just brim to life with each book in the series you pick up. The author is a masterful storyteller and one who knows how to weave a spell around the readers as they turn the pages of MOON SHIMMERS and previous books in the series to captivate them till the very end of the book. With each page of the latest Otherworld novel, I was alongside these wonderful characters as they faced danger yet again but the core of who they are evolved and yet stayed the same. With each book in the series, the author continues the Spirit Seals arc and in the final triad of books, will deliver the biggest bang in the series and it starts with MOON SHIMMERS.

If you have been hesitant in trying this author out, I highly recommend reading her if you love urban fantasy/paranormal stories that steal your heart with captivating characters, an intriguing story-line that steals your senses and romance that will melt your panties off. I highly recommend this author if you enjoy dragons, fae, vampires and more as this author’s world-building is phenomenal and on par to JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood or Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters Series. MOON SHIMMERS deliver a start in the final triad of books in this series and I, for one, am anxious to see how it ends. Run-don’t walk-to grab this enduring and well written series for your reading enjoyment.
