Only Fate's Illusion so far...

This fantasy thrill ride is a whole new take on Greek Gods and the future of the human race. Hades is only one of the big baddies, but his daughter is being recruited to help him out. Maybe. Lexi's power of illusion is cool, but she is frustratingly human when it comes to hand to hand combat. Luckily she has Cerberus and a reluctant Acteon to help her out. In he mean time a whole new world is is taking shape in our imagination. Our introduction to the Gods, Titans, and Heroes is a fascinating and fun sometimes sexy read.

Sky of Fire and Ash by Julie Hall and Audrey Grey
Dragon stories are usually hit or miss for me. I either love them or I can't stand them. Well, Sky of Fire and Ash definitely falls into the LOVE category. It was such an awesome read! There was so much action, intrigue, and fierce characters. I was completely hooked from the opening sentence. It was unputdownable and I found myself constantly on the edge of my seat. It's so good!

Fallon's an instantly likable character, as is her friend Pip. One of my favorite aspects of this story was their strong and unwavering friendship. And Rek...oh my... where do I even begin with him? I think I have a new crush!

The world building was spectacular. There's dragons, or drakoni, lots of different types of them, and I found it so interesting learning about them.

Even though this is a novella, it didn't lack anything. There's so much packed into it and it felt just the right length to me. I'm super eager for the next installment though! I can't recommend this highly enough!

I've read Fate's Illusion by Allyson Lindt and if it's any indication of what's included in this set, it's a must read. True to form, Lindt has given us a quirky heroine and this one is right in middle of a world ruled by the Greek gods. You'd think that being the daughter of Hades would give Lexi an advantage, some measure of safety, but it's quite the opposite in her crazy world. This is a reverse harem story, but we get a bit of twist with the fated loves aspect. Of course, that leads to some steamy goodness for Lexi, along with some decisions to make. With some fantastic world-building, this action-packed, steamy romance is everything I've come to expect from a good Urban Fantasy.

Divine Gift by Miranda Martin was a great start to a new exciting series. This did however leave me with more questions than answers. There were some moments that were set on repeat with a few differences to change the situation. But this IS still a great read worth the time!

I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.

I ve only read 2 books so far in this set but boy were they explosive
Frost Kay's The Tainted was wow it had so many twists that I just was on the edge of my seat the whole time reading it it was an adventure reading it that's for sure Hazel was amazingly strong I just loved her character a lot Frost has hit the ball out of the park with this one.

Fates Illusion by Allyson Lindt was so vivid I was watching it come to life in my head as I was reading it. Lexi's father is Hades and like him she hates the other gods. in the first couple of pages she gets attacked by a gargoyle of all things but before things got bloody Actaeon killed it and said a few words about the tattoo of Death she has then leaves. i like Actaeon a lot and I love Cerberus I really cant wait to see what will happen with these characters.

Heather Marie Adkins East of the Sun was Intriguing exciting and sad all at the same time. I really like Terra and Roark and was sad about Rowan. but this is a post apocalyptic story so everything cant be happy. the ending has me wanting to know what will happen to these characters next


Rebecca Hamilton's Her Sweetest Downfall was really good I enjoyed reading it and was really happy at how it ended Rebecca never falls t make me enjoy a story.
