                                               By Taran Matharu

​The prequel to the explosive new fantasy trilogy, Summoner. Set in a time before The Novice, this prequel is the perfect introduction to the world of the Summoner.



Arcturus is just an orphaned stableboy when he discovers he has the ability to summon demons from another world. He is sent to Vocans Military Academy where the lost arts of summoning, spellcraft and demonology are taught to the noble children of the Empire. As the first commoner gifted with this ability, his discovery challenges the nobility and the powers that be. At the Academy Arcturus quickly makes enemies. With no one but his demon Sacharissa by his side, Arcturus must prove himself as a worthy Summoner ...

   This was an extremely entertaining YA read that takes you into an epic world of adventure and intrigue! I'm just starting this series,and while I'm used to more adult books, it's definitely still wildly entertaining! Fast paced and intriguing, this short read was a perfect introduction to the characters that emerge in the other books of this series. While not absolutely action-packed, it's still heavily intriguing and I raced through it in less than an hour, making it a perfectly short, intriguing read. This little appetizer got me nice and primed for the rest of the books in this series!

                          Scandal Takes the Stage
                              Wicked Quills of London- Book 2
                                                 by Eva Leigh
                                  Genre: Historical Romance

Picture
​Together they may create a scandal worthy of the stage, but can their love last after the final curtain falls…?
Successful playwright Maggie Delamere has no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron, Viscount Marwood. She once paid dearly for a moment of weakness…and vows to rebuff the wildly persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every turn. But when pressure to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation to use his country estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist....
For years, Cam has admired Maggie’s brilliant work and he can’t pass up the opportunity to discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as passionate and clever as the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a lady his bed without being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her inhibitions—he’ll do exactly that.
But soon Cam’s plans for seduction become a fight for Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree rake society believes him to be…and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.

  The author did it once again! I completely enjoyed this second book in the series as much as I enjoyed the first one! The storyline was unique and original, the dialogue was very complex and detailed and the characters were very well developed and intriguing! While this book might not have been the most historically accurate tale, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and believe it still captured the essence of that time period! With quite a few twists, plenty of snarky humor and some sweet sensual romance, I was left captivated and read this story in one sitting! I'm starting to really truly enjoy this author's writing and can't wait to see what else she comes out with!

                                    Forever Your Earl
                      Wicked Quills of London - Book 1
​                                                         by Eva Leigh
​                                             Genre: Historical Romance

Picture
​Eva Leigh's irresistible new series introduces the Wicked Quills of London: a group of bold, brilliant female writers whose spirited allure is beyond seductive . . .
Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades . . . What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake?
Daniel has secrets, and if The Hawk's Eye gets wind of them, a man's life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.
But when Eleanor learns the truth of his deception, Daniel will do anything to prove a romance between a commoner and an earl could really last forever.

  I'm not a huge reader of Regency Romances, but lately I've been reading more of them to expand my horizons. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised once I started reading this book! The characters were very complex and felt like real people, the storyline was unique and fun and the dialogue was intricate and well thought out. I loved the snarky little bantering and romantic tension between Eleanor and Daniel! The emotions I felt while reading this story were palpable! There was quite a few times I was grinning and softly chuckling to myself over some of the situations and banter, other times I was ready to claw the walls in frustration and anticipation. The writing was just spectacular and well detailed all throughout the story. I was absolutely captivated by this book and mightily impressed with the author's writing!
