That bit at the end... Sydney!! What are you thinking?! Fair enough I didn't want Adrian to get with Rose in VA but I totally think YOU should get with him in this series. There were the fireworks that were missing from the other kiss you got, you stupid girl.

Straight onto book 3.
  
4.5 stars.

I do enjoy this series, it's full of action and fun stuff. This one gets an extra half star for Tori finally getting what she'd wanted since the first book; to be a part of something fully. I do love this guild and its members and I cannot wait to read more.

The Invitation
By Diane Hoh
⭐️⭐️⭐️

It arrives on crisp, ivory paper with elegant gold script. It is an invitation to a party like no other, an invitation to death. Written by the same author as "Funhouse".


It was ok not the best of the series but still good!

Right then, I'm doing to try my hardest not to give out any spoilers, but there are some things that have happened in previous books, so I really hope you've read them!!!

First of all, this book brings to a close The Reverians series, and it does it in style! This is a thrilling and action-packed finale, full of emotion.

This series is the first thing that I have read by Sarah Noffke, but it certainly won't be the last. She has captivated me with her writing style. She writes believable characters complete with flaws that you can identify with and you will solidly get behind them, encouraging them in whatever it is they are doing. Of course, she will also rip out your heart, tear it to shreds and then stomp on it, just for fun! And then, once she's done that, she will give you hope until you feel your heart start beating again.

After the ending of book 2, I was devastated. It's as simple as that. I spent the last how long of the book f'ugly crying! Trust me, that was a situation I did not want to repeat! However, she wasn't going to let me off easily. There is more than one situation in Warriors that had me crying. There is a storyline that runs through the books with Rogue, Em, and Zack, that finally runs its course. The best bit is I can't imagine it any other way. It was at once completely obvious and at the same time, left you hanging with would it/wouldn't it be happening.

I started this series simply because the synopsis intrigued me. By taking a chance on an unknown author (to me), I've found a superb series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this book and this series. Go on, take a chance on a new author yourself!!!

Somehow more of the same but also less substance than book 1
The second book in the Darkslayer series again follows Venir, Melegal and others as they journey across the world of Bish. This book feels very much like a variation on the first one. Pretty much nobody died in that book, it turns out, as all enemies return for another go at taking down the Darkslayer. The royals are after him and the underlings are after him, in much the same way as the previous story. There is a lot less action here, with much fewer gratuitous skirmishes. There is, I think, meant to be more build up of what will become the overall plot of the series. There were a few smaller story aspects that added nothing at all (as far as I can see) - including most of Mood's side stories.
Reasonably entertaining but with very little by way of a plot (rather just characters on the run and reacting to events) it fell a little flat for me.
  
Amy Flowers is ready to follow her dream of opening her own cafe, and she’s hoping to do it by buying the local greasy spoon. However, Lou Lou, the owner, is not at all interested in selling. Amy stops by the cafe late one night and finds Lou Lou dead in her office. Naturally, Amy knows she has a good motive. Can she clear her name?

This is a fun start to a new series. The book focuses a bit on Amy starting her café early on, but the mystery begins to be the focus as we gear up toward the logical climax. Some of the characters could have been stronger, but I still came to care for them before the book ended, and I look forward to getting to know them better as the series progresses.

NOTE: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Abigail and the North Pole Adventure by Tali Carmi This is another quick read. It good for children. Children learn to use their imagination. It teaches your kids or children values and about giving a helping hand. It also teaches your children about making friendships. Each book tell you about a different place and culture. You learn about the animals and the habit of the folk that live in that area.The images are down really well. You can see what the description is talking about. This is good for children ages for young children. Parent can read this to their children. Kids can learn to read with these beginner books. Pictures are quite nice and understandable. This is also a good book for children that enjoy adventure books.I would recommend this book and this series to young readers and children learn to read. If you would like to check out my other review on a book in this series. Here the review to Abigail &amp; Tropical Island adventure.
