Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic. How's that for a review? I guess I could leave it at that, but there's so much more to say about author Karen Lynch's book, Relentless, that I won't. The first book in a planned series, Relentless introduces us to seventeen-year-old Sara Grey. Haunted by her father's mysterious death when she was a young child, Sara's convinced that she might be the only one who can uncover what really happened. Hiding a unique gift from her family, as well as the paranormal world she's involved in, Sara begins taking more and more risks, putting both herself and the ones she loves in danger. When she becomes the focus of pursuit for an obsessed vampire, and at the same time comes under the protection of a warrior named Nikolas, she realizes that her life may never be the same again.
I loved this book. LOVED it. No matter that this is billed for young adults, and I am far past that age, Relentless was so well-written, so well-developed and so fun, exciting and suspenseful that I simply could not put it down. I have to give author Karen Lynch mad props for this book. She has written a book that is absolutely un-put-downable. Any reader who enjoys a good paranormal or fantasy type read will love Relentless, young adult or not. I am pleased to highly recommend this book, and I certainly am looking forward to reading the next books in this incredibly promising series as soon as possible.

Reviewed By Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite
One night, Jess Ballard wakes up from a horrible dream, only to find her alcoholic mother dead. Weeks later, she temporarily moves in with her estranged Aunt Karen, who tries her best to make her niece feel welcome. A strange visit to her grandfather in the nursing home makes Jess feel even more curious and uneasy about her family’s past. As she starts college, she befriends the pretty but neat, neurotic Tia, and life in college appears to be normal. It seems like she could finally move on – until she meets the mysterious Evan.
Spirit Legacy (The Gateway Trilogy, Book 1) by E.E. Holmes is a fascinating paranormal thriller. Her Goth style aside, Jess is easy to root for, ‘a nice kid who happens to dress a little differently’ according to her Aunt Karen. She’s smart and bravely perseveres after her mother’s tragic death. I have a soft spot for Tia, whom I feel complements Jess’ persona well. There were some slow build-up moments in the story as Holmes introduces the characters and lets readers get to know their lives. That said, these only make you wonder what frightening surprises and secrets are waiting to be discovered.
In a nutshell, Spirit Legacy is undeniably engaging. The well-constructed, unpredictable plot and the clear narrative would tempt any reader to finish this book in one sitting. Holmes writes absorbingly well and, as a paranormal fan, I’m truly entertained. Despite leaning more towards the YA demographic, adult readers who are fans of the genre should not overlook this series.

Reviewed By Francine Zane for Readers' Favorite
In XODUS by K.J. McPike, Lali’s sixteenth birthday is marred by the absence of her mother, who disappeared two months prior, but equally disturbing is discovering intruders in her home. The fear related to that discovery triggers a unique ability to astral project. Little does Lali know how her new ability is tied into her mother’s disappearance and a twenty-year-old battle against the evil forces of her mother’s home world.
XODUS provides a dark, mysterious hero who shows up just in time to help Lali understand her powers. Their give and take interaction adds another layer of tension that kept me reading. I enjoyed the underlying empowerment given to all of the children so suddenly abandoned by their mother, while I could have done without the Cinderella reference of Lali, as the oldest, doing the majority of the cooking and cleaning instead of a more balanced division of the duties by the entire family. The youngest daughter is adorable. McPike clearly understands children and was able to capture the nine-year-old's personality.
K.J. McPike builds a whole new world as the backstory to the paranormal happenings in this world. She artfully balances the current storyline of Lali learning to control her astral projection abilities with enough history to explain how her family ended up in their current predicament. I enjoyed how XODUS makes the development of paranormal powers a process that reminds me as a reader to understand how much work, and sometimes bruises, it takes to be good at something new. I recommend XODUS and am looking forward to the next installment in the Astralis Series.

Martina McAtee wrote an unconventional paranormal romance in Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things: Dead Things Series Book 1 that readers will love. It is told in multiple POVs because there is a slew of interesting and engaging characters. First is Ember, a young girl who is swept into a new, paranormal life when her father dies. Ember’s new family is happy to take her in and teach her about the incredible powers that she has. With her new family, Ember meets a host of different paranormal characters. There are shape shifters, male and female witches, and reapers. There’s a love interest, of course, and he may be the only reason that Ember is still alive (her incredible “gift” is trying to kill them all)! Talk about stakes and action! For Ember to survive, she has to trust her new family and friends, and come up with a way to control the power within her so it doesn’t kill them all.
First of all, I absolutely love the title of this piece, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things! And the cover is beautiful, too. Martina McAtee did a great job on the visual aspects of this story, which just helps to draw a reader in from the very beginning! McAtee tossed out all of the traditional rules of the paranormal romance genre, making this story fresh and unique. While it may be refreshingly different, fans of paranormal romance won’t be disappointed! This is a fun, entertaining story with remarkable and memorable characters that you will root for, fall in love with, and cry over. Even the ones you are supposed to hate you will love because Martina McAtee is that good!

They go to perform a spell from Tabitha's Wiccan religion to try to contact their late grandparents. With this simple spell cast in a circle of stones, they are thrown into a dream world which they share between the three of them. There they find a man, trapped, and Moira is tasked with the job of saving him and setting him free. Throughout all of this, she has to juggle a part time job, school at the university and an overbearing boyfriend.
The Space In Between, a world between worlds, where time is simply an illusion. This is the story you are thrown into by Jen Minkman, the brilliant writer of this book. The story tells a tale of love, mystery and adventure. This book was amazing. From the moment I started it, I was caught in Jen Minkman's web of words that reeled me in as I read. By the time I had read the first three pages, I did not want to stop reading. The word play was clever in such a way my attention was always focused on the book and nothing else. There was never a point in the book where I found it boring or dull. If you want a book to become immersed in, this is the book for you!

Destiny Awaits by Jaidis Shaw is a story about a young woman who has visions, some of which are of the man she is destined to fall in love with. A year after her parents' tragic deaths, Alayna has decided to start over in the sleepy town of Juniper Grove. Thanks to the help of her realtor, Dominic, she's bought a lovely fixer upper that only requires yard work. A chance meeting with the young man tending her garden begins stirring a feeling of belonging that she hasn't felt since her parents passed away. An evening stroll turns into an encounter with a vampire, and she quickly learns nothing is quite what it seems in Juniper Grove. Is Jayden the mysterious young man that haunted her visions since she was a little girl? Will Gavin succeed in ending her life?
Destiny Awaits is a wonderful paranormal romance. Jaidis Shaw's descriptions were very detailed. I was able to picture every aspect of the story vividly. The attraction between Jayden and Alayna was instant, and you also watch them grow as a couple. There's some mystery in the story as well; it kept me engrossed and I was really sorry to see the book end. If you like vampire and shifter novels, you will absolutely love this one. I can't wait for the next book in the series, as I'd love to see more written about Juniper Grove and the other residents there - are there other supernatural beings living in the town?

Instead, she has to redeem herself and that leads Alisa to the same feelings of insecurity and hopelessness she had in life. Reluctant Guardian by Melissa Cunningham relates the task Alisa needs to fulfill in order to be redeemed and have a chance to get to heaven and enjoy the everlasting peace she thought she would find. Acting as the guardian for Brecken Shaefer, a teenager with plenty of troubles of his own, is not the easy job Alisa thought it would be. In fact, this assignment leads both Alisa and Brecken to the gates of hell where they face demons trying to steal their souls. For a girl who always took the easy way out, is there any hope of success?
Reluctant Guardian by Melissa Cunningham casually but clearly portrays not only the anguish that leads a young girl to suicide, but also the devastating effect this event has on the entire family. Without preaching, there is a message about salvation and redemption and the choices that can have a dramatic effect on the eventual outcome of every life.

Wow! I just finished reading Ednah Walters’ gripping book Witches, the sixth book in the Runes series, and all I can say is that I am impressed. What a great young adult read, full of intrigue, excitement, adventure, and yes, romance. This installment of the book follows the beautiful Raine Cooper, an immortal Seeress, as she traverses both the difficulties of high school drama at Kayville High, her relationship with the gorgeous quarterback, Torin St. James, and of course, all of the stresses that come from her decision to side against the Norns and with Valkyries and Mortal Witches long ago. Raine’s life is nothing if not complicated, especially when she has to figure out how to repair the battlegrounds and make sure that no Mortals have any memories of those dramatic events.
I loved this book! I had not read any other books in the Runes series, and I certainly will now, but I was still able to understand Witches with no problem. Ednah Walters is a phenomenal writer, and any young adult who enjoys fantasy, romance, or just a great read will love this book.
