Review:
***I received a copy of this anthology in exchange for an honest review***
Morrigan
The Morrigan starts out with a riveting and exciting scene that creates an thick fog of anticipation. This book is fast-paced with an amazing energy. The prose is unique with interesting factors that captivated my intrigue. The execution is flawless. The imagery is descriptive to the point of easy visualization without a sensory overload. I really enjoyed Tam's quick-witted logic and the over all story. It's honestly a great fantasy. I'll definitely be reading more by this author.
The Sway: A Hidden Trilogy novella
I could not put this book down. The story-line held me entranced in an elven world, hiding in plain sight among mortals, seeking domination while a greater mystery unfolded. I was flipping through the pages faster than ever in dire need to find out what happens next in the female protagonist's life and if she will ever find a back bone to defy her overly obstinate , adoptive father's plans for her life. The cliff hanger at the end drove me somewhat insane, but it is an exemplary novella for the YA audience that I HIGHLY recommend. On a side note, I am still overly desperate to learn the gran scheme of things behind the conspiracy theory. I will be reading the other books. I HAVE to read the other books.
How To Babysit A Changeling
It took me a moment to realize I'd read book one in a previous anthology involving faeries. It's one of the many novels I've not gotten around to reviewing yet and worth the read. This story is a quick, entertaining read. In a world that vastly revolves around technology, I can see the young adult audience finding immense enjoyment in How to Babysit a Changeling. Marney's character is down to earth and I find myself not only wanting to read more of her, but the FeyLand series as well.
Faeleahn
This novella has been anticipated for quite some time! The Otherworld was my first Fae series and the driving force behind my addiction. I've never been fond of reading about weddings, but Faeleahn had me in awe and in tears. It is more eloquently written than most novels I have EVER read and astonishingly, Johnson's writing improves with each new release. It is absolutely perfect. If you are one of the many Otherworld fans, you do NOT want to miss out reading more about Meghan and Cade, as well as their families. It's not disappointing in the least and I honestly cannot praise Faeleahn enough. I've already informed many fellow fans and it hasn't even been released! I can't imagine anyone not loving this series, but I feel it's a fair to warn some readers that there is a more steamy scenery involved than the former novels. I don't feel it's anything too risqué and it is tastefully written. I know most will be thrilled, but if you're a parent it doesn't hurt to read ahead for your own stamp of approval. Personally, it melted my heart. The romance between Meghan and Cade is swoon-worthy It is a fast, fun read that will have you author stalking by the end. 5++++ Stars!
Arranged
I found Arranged downright fascinating. It is a dystopian/science fiction/faery tale mesh up. Science Fiction isn't typically my preferred genre, but it had more of a fantasy vibe flowing. I loved Tulupea and Michael was just a really sweet character. I really fell in love with some of the characters and loathed the despicable ones. Arranged is a great story. I'm really hoping there is more to this story because I am absolutely dying to read more. I loved it!
Without Armor: Elemental Fire
Having read books by Alexia Purdy before I knew I could expect an excellent story from her. She's amazing with words. I became extremely enthusiastic upon discovering Benton has a love interest, but it left me feeling more on the melancholy side. I hope I get the chance to learn more. It was a nice little story.
