Summary: The story revolves around an orphan and a star catcher. It’s a prequel to Peter Pan that tries to explain the who’s who and what’s what before we met them in the original, classic tale. Additional Comments: As usual, the costumes and scenery were lovingly attended to. Casting worked out very well too. I…
*Spoilers are possible Summary: You’re back at Penderghast College as either a guy or a girl who just saved the world from Raife with your twin brother/sister. And incidentally sort of set a worse dude free from his happy little prison. Hartfield wasn’t doing it for ya as a college, but Penderghast is just what…
Genre: Fantasy *could be spoilers ahead Summary: The main character looks in a mirror and sees a strange version of himself or herself. College is sort of a drag. Until the weird shadow version of yourself pulls you into the mirror and you land at Penderghast College. Additional Comments: The book had a nice balance…
Narrated by Kathleen Li *Spoilers possible in the discussion Summary: Destiny comes into her powers and meets her man. Additional Comments: This book is almost identical to the first book in the series, except that Blake’s already in town. Destiny’s gift of fire is pretty neat. There was more of an attempt to give Blake…
Narrated by Ginger Sue and Dustin Spiehler Summary: A fairy is chosen to be a companion for a sadistic princess. Additional Comments: 2.5/5 Main Character: Finished the book yesterday and I honestly can’t remember the main character’s name. That tells me she’s not that memorable. I remember she’s a fairy. She was clueless at the…

Spoilers possible in discussion. Definitely included after the ads. Additional Comments: Side Note: Switching character perspectives is fine in a story. I…
Summary: Kincaid Riley worked hard to get the schools desegregated, so those with and without magic could learn more about each other. Many agree with him, but some do not. And those who disagree have their own plans. Additional Comments: I won’t go into the magic system here because that would probably lead to spoilers….
Summary: Kate Roark is a hedge witch, which means she doesn’t have powers herself. That is until a twist of fate or fortune or misfortune changes things for her. Additional Comments: – It’s a cute novella with good narration. – Plot 4/5: simple but that’s understandable in that it’s meant to be a very short…
Summary: Mer doesn’t like Avry, but she might have to marry him. Rather than succumb to that fate, she runs away, setting off a chain of events that will alter her life—and his—forever. Additional Comments: – Characters 3.5/5: Mer and Avry are likable enough eventually. However, at first, I distinctly remember a few moments of…
*There may be spoilers in the discussion Summary: Sawyer’s a Watcher. The world is broken. Watchers protect the last scraps of humanity in this part of the world. Additional Comments: – Dystopia isn’t a genre I typically gravitate to. Keep that in mind as you move forward because that might be the underpinning reason behind…
