I have been a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon for a long time.  The characters in her " Dark Hunter Novels" have become friends and enemies.  I don't know how Ms. Kenyon keeps coming up with plots that keep you reading and impatiently waiting for your next fix, but I know I will read every book probably more than once.

So many things happened in this novel that you can try to guess what will happen next, but you won't get it right.  Each of these novels is full of action, adventure, mystery, intrigue, romance and more that you just can't stop reading.  It is best to read them in order to get the full experience.  They can; however, stand alone.

I can happily recommend this novel as well as the complete series.  Ms. Kenyon will keep you coming back for more of the "Dark Hunters".  This novel will answer some questions from prior books and create new questions at the end.  I am off to novel 16 so I can find out about Archeron and Sola and Ren and Coyote...hmmm, I think you will have a hard time stopping now.  Talk to you soon.

If you read A Hidden Fire, the first book of this four book series, then I know that you will be compelled to read this one, This Same Earth, also. Believe me, you will not stop there. By the time you get through A Force of Wind, book three, and A Fall of Water, book four, you will wish there was a fifth, even though the story does come to an end in book four. Try to read them in order for the complete story. This one is simply the continuation of the first. Great story, great characters, great settings, great EVERYTHING. Not to be a spoiler of any kind, but one of the things I really love about the series is the fact that real tragedy is kept to a minimum, although there is some, along with some violence. This is one of the best romances I have ever read. It is also the first I have read of this genre - NOT one that I would normally pick. It was actually an accident - a happy accident.

I love The Darkest Shadow.  This is an adventure that both children and adults will enjoy reading.  The characters are real, compelling and loveable.  I cared about each and every one of them.  The story depicts a historically picturesque struggle between good and evil.  There are twists and turns within every page.  It in some ways reminds me of "The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe" without the talking animals.  This is a first rate story and I look forward to the sequel.

I have been a huge fan of Christine Feehan and her dark series since the beginning. I am slowly converting my collection to digital and have enjoyed going back to revisit these stories. This is one of the series best books and one of my favorites! I love that the author mixes things up with a female hunter and brings favorite characters into the mix as well. This is a must read for anyone who likes the dark series!

Dark Apostle is the quintessential novel for anyone who loves Word Bearers. Mr. Reynolds writing style fits the "grim-dark" 40k universe like no other author I now of. From the well paced action scenes to the well developed characters this novel oozes attitude and shows just how malicious the Word Bearers can be. Definitely now in my top 5 Black Library novels.

I've actually been dying to read Firelight by author Sophie Jordan for such a long time now. I have finally gotten my paws on the novel and I cannot express with words how much I am (in love with Will) I adored the novel. Everything about it was just perfect and it was one of those novels that I just couldn't put down, I needed to know what happened next after each chapter finished and in short (for the twenty-four hour period it took for me to read it) I was obsessed with Firelight and couldn't be any happier with that fact. A novel with people who can turn into dragons, falling in love with your mortal enemy and fearing that somebody might tear you two apart? Oh my gosh, you had me at people who can turn into dragons...

Firelight is the story of Jacinda, a teenage drake girl who can breathe fire. Despite how cool that sounds, Jacinda is condemned to have to be with Cassian the prince of her pride so that she can breed more fire breathing drake. When Jacinda is caught by a group of Draki Hunters when she is flying out in the forest with her friend Azure, she finds herself face to face with a Hunter and to her surprise, he doesn't kill her and lets her go. Upon returning to the pride, Jacinda's mother decides that Jacinda and her younger twin sister, Tamra are going to abandon the pride to live in the human world. Against her will, Jacinda finds herself going to a human high school where she ends up seeing, against all odds, the same Hunter that let her go. His name is Will and at a first glance, he falls in love with Jacinda. Jacinda does everything she can to keep her distance from Will, being near him causes her draki to manifest and she knows how dangerous he and his Hunter cousins are... But he's different. Jacinda can't deny that there's something between the two of them that would cause her to risk everything she has to remain with him.

The one thing that really appealed to me about Firelight was the whole humans-becoming-dragons aspect of the novel. I really liked the idea and I liked the way that the author portrayed it all, but I'll admit that the descriptors used in the novel had me confused with what a draki should look like in my imagination. At the mention of some descriptions I saw full on dragons (like the type of stuff you'd find in Skyrim or something), at others I saw these demented half dragon-half human creatures--I assumed that when she manifests, Jacinda turns into a dragon, but I was still left a bit confused on that part of the novel.  Other than that, everything else was absolutely magnificent.

What I think made the novel really appealing was Will. The romantic male lead, Will is everything that I love in a teenage guy character. He's tall, dark and brooding, but at the same time he's caring and sweet and does everything in his power to get Jacinda to open up to him and face the fact that he's in love with her and vice versa. When he learns what she is, he doesn't call the cavalry to come and kill her and he doesn't fear her--he just seems to love her more because of it. Seriously? How romantic is that?

Considering the heart stopping ending and how many emotions Jordan's writing style managed to stir up within me, I am going to go insane if I don't get to read the sequel ASAP. I would recommend Firelight to fans of YA fantasy who want a modernized twist, readers who want a YA romance that will have you falling in love right along with the characters and those of us who just think that the premise of the novel is interesting. I say, read the novel, you won't regret it. Easy as that.

I am still reading this fastening novel, but it a page turner, I was reading last night until I had to close one eye to keep the words in focus. I love the way this novel just flows. The Midnight Air is a must read. It is hard to believe this is the first novel for this author, it reads as a novel written by a seasoned author. Love love this novel. Looking forward to D.M. Miraglia next novel.

I was unsure of this book as I thought maybe it was just another disaster story, but I was surprised and ended up reading it all in a day and 1/2.  The characters are likeable and never boring.  There are twists and turns that take your breath away.  I loved reading this book and look forward to more from this amazing author.  I only buy my books for my kindle fire from Amazon and I greatly love that they offer free books or lower prices, other wise I wouldn't have tried a lot of the books that I have been reading lately.  I thank Amazon for that.

I received a free copy of this novel from the author in exchange for my unbiased review of it.
Light is a follow up novel that wraps up the Flamestone Trilogy very nicely. You're reunited with Jaden as he has once again been separated from the rest and is beginning to see the strange goings on throughout the mines as the Dwellers move about gathering up all the people kidnapped and sold into slavery to the Dwellers by the old Society. Jaden is like them, the Dwellers, and he needs the Flamestone to survive but what he reallys wants is to go to Earth and to find his mother.
Jaden finds Weslie and Antoine but that's not all that he finds. He finds a book that could hold the answers to finding a cure to allowing him back up into the daylight again.
This book is well written. It's really gripping and is a real page turner keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the constant danger of giant worms, ruthless Disgraced and even a volcano. This book is awesome. It has danger, hope and wraps everything up perfectly. This book gets the job done of keeping you engaged and giving you a great read that you will want to return to and read again in the future. This is a book I'd definitely recommend to friends for sure and fellow book lovers. Two thumbs way up.

Shadow and Bone is my first 5 tree review and it definitely earned the rating. The story begins with an excerpt taking place "Before" where several Grisha show up at an orphanage to test the small children and determine whether they may or may not be Grisha as well. Our main character, Alina, is one of the small children tested that day along with Mal, another orphan who she grows up with and considers her only family. No powers are found within the children on that day.

Many years later, Alina and Mal find themselves and their regiment crossing the Shadow Fold of their divided nation, Ravka. Being attacked by flesh eating flocks of voltra, she saves Mal's life using a power she never dreamed she possessed. With that dormant power coming to life, Alina is suddenly taken by the soldiers to the Darkling. The character of the Darkling is both intimidating and alluring at the same time. I cannot imagine what Alina felt being in his presence, but it is powerful. The Darkling is an amplifier and he can amplify Alina's power to an extent she never thought possible. Their connection is beautifully written.

As she gradually accepts the fact that she is the Sun Summoner, she cannot imagine ever being strong enough to be able to save Ravka alongside the Darkling. Her fear of failing her people is palpable, even though the Darkling is persistent. Throughout her acceptance of this new life, Alina undergoes training with several potent Grisha masters and struggles to control her power of light. Until the evening that she learns what the Darkling's intentions truly are and has a terrifying choice to make. The secrets of the Grisha unravel quickly and Alina isn't quite sure where she belongs and what her role truly is among them.

There is only so much of the story that can be told in a brief review, such as this one. You'll have to pick up a copy of Shadow and Bone to really appreciate the BRILLIANCE in Leigh Bardugo's debut novel. The world of Ravka as she creates it, is dark, magical and the characters are perfection. I can honestly say this read has been one of my favorites this year. - Amy

I had this book read in two days, I simply couldn't put it down. It made me cry and made me laugh. When I started reading about the fire itself I started shivering and couldn't stop. I felt like I was really seeing and living what was happening. Very well written, it makes you truly feel for all the people involved. It also dispells many rumors and wild tales that have surrounded the fire from the beginning. I highly recommend it.
