Several of the groups I am on in goodreads have an A-Z challenge for the year, in that you try to read books where the title starts with each letter of the alphabet. I figured that after reading 100 books last year, that sure, I could try this challenge this year. I mean with 100 books, 26 starting with different letters sounds easy…… Well I am on month 4 and find my list is 10/26 done so far. YAH !!! Except now all of the books I want to read have already been used for that letter. Do you know how many book titles start with E, P, and S?? So here’s to actually getting through the alphabet! A B-...

Review: Pantheons: The Game of the Gods by EJ Dabel Isaiah has spent the year training to keep his friends safe only to return and find it didn’t do any good. His friends are dead and the gods are now exposed and playing a game for the dominion. The question is- why, and what does this game mean, and does Isaiah know how to finally face his father? I so liked the last chapter- while it was setting up another book, it was actually explaining a lot of what happened before. It was like being let in on a secret, which was fun, and it made you rethink everything that happened in the book. I am not a...

Review: Pantheons EJ Dabel Isaiah doesn’t’ know his past until he happens upon a school and a principal willing to tell him who his father is, and that would make Isaiah a god, or rather, rather a godling. Now the only question is whether can he get revenge for his mother…. This book has a very comic book aspect- This book reminded me of reading comic books or manga (yes, I am a closet manga reader and my hubby makes fun of me excessively for it). This story was very much like a comic book in that there were tons of descriptions and action. Plots with many subplots and multiple characters- which...

Review: Incendiary by Amy Bartol Evie finally gets to meet her father, and it is not the reunion any father or daughter would like to have. Evie knows him and the two other seraphim that come with him. Evie is still fighting to keep away from Brennus, but now she has her father trying to call the shots. To make matters worse, her father is trying to remove her friends and the only family she has by replacing them. I like all the new complications- things get much more complicated when we find out who her father is and the memories she has of him from high school. Evie has known her father all along!...

Review: Intuition and Indebted by Amy Bartol Evie has come to accept that she loves Reed though Russell is her soulmate- Russell is not as accepting. But when push comes to shove again, Evie does everything she can think of to save her friends, including running away with Russell. Unfortunately she is not ready for the world when a group of undead fairies take her and plan to make her into their queen. Russell added another depth to the story. We get to see things from Russell’s point of view. I liked this and he was always my favorite character in the first book. I like him as a character and loved...
