The Masters of Magic
The Masters of Magic DH Bookstore
I started out as just a normal coven witch with teenage problems and boy crushes. I argued with my sister, I rebelled against my parents, and I skipped classes from time to time.
Things were simple then.
And how I wish things were that simple again.
Now I was preparing for a war against the hunters. The very beings that tore my life apart, but how was I going to be able to fight when I could barely protect myself?
And why were the masters of magic at our new training session?
I had the feeling that things were going to get a little too…extraordinary.

The troll needed food, but she had a secret message to deliver.
And that one message could prevent humans and fairies from losing a coming troll war...

All must be exterminated to cleanse the world of impurity….
That was what we were taught, and for a long time, that was what we believed. Even with the magic coursing through our veins.
But now we had questions.
Now we were second guessing ourselves.
What was right, what was wrong, and what was true?

To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.

The Spec Set
The Spec Set T. Cook
Sucking liquid nitrogen-frozen popsicles in a geek hostage program (science camp) is the last way Emile wants to spend his summer, but when a camp chemistry experiment explodes into a full blown FBI accusation against his little brother Max, Emile has real work to do.
Emile knows Lilly Fang can help, if he can avoid antagonizing her for ten minutes. Actually, Lilly Fang has a lot of secrets, including a lifelong neurological condition, a set of fantastical super powers, and a reporting relationship with CIA. Lilly assembles a defensive team in Max’s behalf. The teens will need all their super skills to find the thief and foil a potentially universe-spanning bomb threat. The chase will take them as far as the Y Universe, where physical laws make everything chemically unpredictable.

Great cover!
This is the first dragon story that really appealed to me. The interaction between Dauria and Graayyya is believable and heart-warming. The story has just the right amount of plot-driven suspense and character-driven emotion. Now I'm going back for Book 1 and look forward to whatever comes next.
Love dragons. Looking forward to reading this.
I love everything about this. First off, let's talk about that cover. It's gorgeous. I want it on my virtual shelf. But the premise of "Betrayal" is even more interesting. "See through the eyes of dragons in this thrilling epic fantasy adventure." SOLD, right there. Everything about this sounds great, so what are you waiting for?

First Law of the Valkyrie: Don't Fall in Love
I paid the price for breaking the first law of the Valkyrie. I lost all the memories I had of Will. That's why Sam is keeping tabs on me. She's an ever-present shadow during my time at Mattsfield High. Sam is the perfect Valkyrie. Tall. Beautiful. Heartless.
I may not remember Will, but my heart does. If Freya thinks I’m going to be a good little Valkyrie this time around… she’s wrong.

Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel
Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph who needed her help.
What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant he was going to perish out there when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow?
Regardless, she just couldn't leave him out there. And in spite of his attitude, he was kind of cute, pointy ears and all.
If only she didn't have to now fend off her farm from other very real fairy-tale creatures, like goblins and witches, and of course, more trolls...
(Warning: contains cliffhanger...)
