Racing to You by Susan CarlisleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you Susan for sending another one of your titles our way. This one was great and I await the next one! Ive always had a fascination with hot air balloon's so this one was a fun ride. This was a great story of struggle, love, and a journey. I had fun reading it and can't wait for the next one.

Review: Ash Princess
Ash Princess by Laura SebastianMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Noteworthy experiences while reading this book: I am a die-hard fantasy fan and this one hit it off early on.
Do I Recommend this book? YES if you love darker themed stories this one is for you!
Notes and Opinions: Color me sold with this very dark and dangerous fantasy. I think this one could have gone even darker but as it sits it was so amazing and I couldn't put it down. This one has it all magic, amazing characters, and some wonderful world building.
The world building to this one was great. We get a rundown of the magic and the gods in this world as well as a little backstory on what happened. I would love a prequel to this one about Theo's mom and her rule. Or even further back. The author did a fabulous job making this world come to life and I never felt that it was info dumping or confusing me.
The magic in this one was new (at least from what books I have read). I love reading about new creatures and new magic. So many authors just use the same old thing with a slight twist and this one didn't do that. The magic in this one was spot on and worked well. It was easy to follow but also still had that mystery surrounding it where you know that they don't know everything about their magic. It really made it feel vibrant, new, and amazing.
The characters in this one were great. I do think that this would have made a very good dual POV with Theo and Soren but as it sits it was still wonderful. I really loved Theo she was put into a situation where everything was her fault even though it wasn't. I don't think I would have been strong enough to be whipped again and again. She was strong and fierce and a survivor. I am excited to see what happens in book two Lady Smoke. As for the light love triangle (yes there is one) I really enjoyed it. It was done very well and I again can't wait to see what is going to happen with it. At the end of this book, you find something out about one of her loves. And I am very interested to see how that plays out.
At the end of this one, I think that this one overall could have been much darker. This being a higher young adult story I think that the author could have gone all out with the darkness and really make us readers scream. But as it sits I still really loved it. It was pretty much perfect in my eyes. It was still plenty dark and had such an amazing world. If you like darker stories this one is for you!
Go Into This One Knowing: Murder, Plots, Magic, Punishments (whipping), no cliffhanger, slight love triangle

Review: Daughter of the Pirate King
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia LevensellerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was one stellar book! It really is like a female Jack Sparrow man and this one blew me away!
The pacing of this one worked so well from point a, to b, to c. It was perfect. I do wish it would have been a little longer but thats ok.
The world building the author has given us was so good. The use of the pirate ship was so good and it worked out so well. It made the world come alive and the characters were wonderful. I really fell in love with Alosa and her crew which I hope we get to see more of in the next book. I really can't wait to see the outcome of this story in book either. Waiting a year is going to suck.
Alosa as an MC was fab! She's such a strong take no prisoners kind of character. She knew what she needed to do and she got it done. Riden was an amazing romantic interest and you just don't know about him fully until the end of the story. Which ended way to soon. I needed at least another 100 pages.
I want to say so much about this story but I'm afraid I'm going to give something away!!
This is one high seas adventure with a wonderful romance with a girl who is still somewhat finding her way at least with love. It will make you want the next book (Daughter of the Siren Queen YES it has a title!!!!) Now!
Book in a Pinch
