Quicksilver bonus scenes: kingfisher's POV

 

Title: quicksilver bonus scenes: Kingfisher's POV author: Callie Hart pages: 2 hours and 15 minutes (audible) genre: fantasy 

Kingfisher starts off trying to defend a town with his wolves from the last living dragon. Then it switches to how he is many many years later with saeris. It was amazing to know more of what makes him tick and why he is the way he is not just with saeris but with everyone around him. 

I loved hearing this. It made me laugh and warm my heart along with breaking my heart for him. I enjoyed getting to know kingfisher more intimately. Can't wait to continue this adventure with saeris and kingfisher to see what comes next.

~Review Request by Author~

     Pixie is a unique little 2nd grader that likes to read and wear apples. It's a bad day at school for poor Pixie. She races home so she can go to the library with her Mom (her favorite place). While she is there she sees a book that she hasn't seen before, this book isn't like any others. She soon meets Alice from Wonderland with that time crazed white rabbit and Cindi which is short for Cinderella. They quickly tell her that there is a  book guardian and he is trying to get them stuck in this new green book so their stories are erased forever! Cindi and Alice decide to trust their fate to little Pixie, good  thing she likes to read...but can she get them back to their books fast enough without getting herself caught by this mysterious book guardian?

I read this book with my twin 8 year old girls and they fully enjoyed it. They could relate to little Pixie and they loved the adventure she went on they can't wait for the next book in the series. I enjoyed the book and having a book that I can read to them and watch the excitement on their face was awesome as a Mom. It was lively and cute and I myself can not wait for the next book in the series to continue this bonding time with the kids and see what happens to Pixie next. So from this family Coraline is getting 6 thumbs up!!

Stoneweaver: A Clash of Sword and Stone

Title: StoneWeaver: A Clash of Sword and Stone  Author: Cabe Valion  Pages: 204  Genre: Fantasy

~Review request from the author~

De Mauriac is running an errand for his master to get a "package" he gets a group of thieves to go with him. After a long travel with not much going on they get to the package and get it with little effort. On the way back though this package is taking out the thieves one by one. Along the way there is also bog men, dragons, a quicksilver river and other nasty things that could get the best of them. De Mauriac however gets the package to his master with little time before his blood rage will take hold from being away from the vine for too long. At the last second De Mauriac has a change of heart and wants to keep this package...this boy safe from harm and away from his master. 

The imagery is wonderful and really takes you to another world. At some points it is hard to follow on whose head you are in whether it be the boys or De Mauriac. It is very well thought out and is a fast read due to how much you want to know what happens next. I applaud Cabe with his wonderful piece of work and look forward to reading the next book in his saga! 

The Debt: Catch The Zolt

Title: The Debt: Catch The Zolt  Author: Phillip Gwynne  Pages:  275  Genre: Young Adult

At 15 you look forward to all the new gadgets for your birthday. Not a long standing debt your family has. However dear Dominic gets the debt passed down to him on his 15th birthday from his Dad. If he doesn't pay his part of the debt they will take his leg and for a runner that isn't a great thing. In order to save his leg unlike his grandpa he has to do his tasks. First task? Only catching the most notorious online criminal "The Zolt" Now he has to team up with people he doesn't like to keep his leg...great birthday right?

I have a love hate relationship with this book. I enjoyed it to the fact I want to read the rest of the installments however, there isn't as much depth as I would like. There were parts it was hard to continue and not want to throw the book across the room and call it quits. The voices of the characters are great but there is not a lot of depth to Dom and I am hoping there is more depth to come for him. I can see a ton of room for improvement on him.  However it was a quick and fast read and I hope you guys enjoy it as well.

A Huge Thank You

Many of you will remember these titles from before in my blog and you would be correct. These are two books from Marcus and Ashley Kusi, they asked me to do book reviews for them and on top of the free books they gave me via kindle they thanked me by sending signed copies of two of their books to me. I am humbled and honored by this and I wanted to thank them for their very generous gift to me.
