“Queen of the Warrior Bees: One misfit girl and 50,000 bees” (Natural Forces Book 1) By Jean Gill

Author Jean Gill has been one of my favorite authors since I read her brilliant historical series The Troubadours Quartet. When she offered an advance copy of “Queen of the Warrior Bees” in return for an honest review I was thrilled. I had no idea what to expect; what I didn’t expect was a book I would fall in love with from the first page. … Continue reading “Queen of the Warrior Bees: One misfit girl and 50,000 bees” (Natural Forces Book 1) By Jean Gill

The Ballad of Titha Mae (The Titha Mae Series Book 1) by Jon B.Dalvy

I’m very picky about the fantasies I read. While I was drawn to the beautiful cover of The Ballad of Titha Mae, I confess to a bit of hesitancy when it came to reading it.

The story is not just a fantasy but a mythical epic that … Continue reading The Ballad of Titha Mae (The Titha Mae Series Book 1) by Jon B.Dalvy

Shining Ones: Legacy of the Sidhe by Sanna Hines

I was immediately attracted to Shining Ones: Legend of the Sidhe because it is a fantasy that centers around Irish legends and myths. From the first pages where the author, Sanna Hines, provides maps of Ireland and a pronunciation guide for character names I knew I was in for a challenge.     Beginning in Keshcorran, Ireland with the introduction of Bres the Beautiful and Cliodhna … Continue reading Shining Ones: Legacy of the Sidhe by Sanna Hines
