Sohng: Prisoner of fate ( Tales of Arca book 1)
By P.H. Hardy
Forever a prisoner, and the only way out is death!
When a young prisoner of Lockhold, opens his eyes in the outside world, he is immediately ostracised by those who saved him from a fate worse than death. Sohng must learn of the world of Arca, and all its dangers, while discovering one of many secrets that places a unique and invaluable price upon his head. When Sohng disappears, some will risk everything to save him from the comfort and the splendour in which he is confined. When all those close to his heart, are faced by the flames of their final breath, Sohng must embrace his haunting fate and uncover the mystery of his past. Only then can he save them, and give Arca any hope of avoiding the coming age of eternal darkness.
What a strange little book! I am so undecided on if I enjoyed it or not! It was a little confused in parts and a few inconsistencies but still an intriguing book! I can see where the author is trying to world-build but not sure if I find it quite rushed! Despite everything I will continue to book 2!

Isla Emerged (Isla Emerged book 1)
By Deidre Sequeira
Anger. Betrayal. Exile.Isla always knew she would be queen. One day. But after the death of her mother, matriarch of the Southern Pacific merfolk kingdom, that day grew much closer than she was prepared for. Worse, to become a mermaid queen, she must marry. It is the only way to protect her kingdom.Forcibly betrothed to her childhood friend and father's fiercest warrior, Isla is desperate for an escape--no matter the cost. But until she marries, her father is filled with a power his body cannot handle, and his control is steadily slipping.After an explosive fight with her father, Isla flees to the surface, only to find herself in the middle of a violent storm with two choices: swim to safety or save the human man she sees drowning in the tumultuous waves.Her decision will change her life, as well as her kingdom, forever.A story inspired by "The Little Mermaid" like you've never seen before.
I am usually weary of classic stories being retold but I really enjoyed this one. Loosely based on The Little Mermaid it’s full of action! Decent characters and a well written story! I'm looking forward to more from this author

Songs of the seas (siren tales book 1)
By Evelyn Belle
Description
Nerine, blessed by Poseidon, leads the god's sirens with unmatched skill and loyalty. Her life is dedicated to her position, with no room or desire for love. This wasn't always her life, but she's determined to thrive in the ocean, just as she did sailing the horizons above.Bruno is as powerful and twice as deadly as the sharks he commands for the sea god. A shark does not take denial well. Especially from a beautiful siren who changed his fate. He would kill for Nerine, if he doesn't kill her first. When Poseidon ascends to Olympus, Nerine and Bruno are thrown together, charged with protecting the sea. They clash like waves in a storm, but they both have the same goal--protect their people and please their god.But when a ship from Nerine's past appears, Nerine is forced to question her loyalty to her god, and Bruno must decide where his heart lies.
I love any book involving the Greek gods!
This was a brilliant take on Poseidon and his sirens!
Little sorry it only went up to 8 chapters hopefully the rest will follow soo!

Phoenix ( THe Prophecy boom 1)
By Jessica Wayne
Anastasia Carter is plagued by nightmares of death and coming destruction.
Countless nights she's awoken coated in sweat, unable to shake the feeling that someone was coming for her.
But nightmares are just tricks of the mind, right?
Her world is turned upside-down when dreams become reality and a violent attack rips her away from the man she loves, landing her in a world parallel to her own.
In Terrenia, Anastasia must question everything she ever thought she knew.
As she struggles to come to terms with her new reality, she discovers she doesn't have much time. Terrenia is on the brink of a war that could easily destroy not only this world, but Earth as well, and only one person holds the key.
Anastasia must find the light within to defeat the darkness that comes for them all.It was actually really enjoyable to read. Straight forward very good writing and a world and characters to love and hate!
A bit predictable in places but that wasn’t a bad thing! The book flowed well!
I read a bit of Jessica Wayne when I read a collaboration with Meg Anne and knew I’d enjoy her books!

Pale kings ( Emaneska book 2)
By Ben Galley
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
The Pale Kings are rising. Emaneska's Long Winter remains as bitter as a blade between the ribs. War is fast approaching. Gods and demons are hovering on the horizon. Long-lost revelations arrive to haunt the lives of three men.
"Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings."
- NottingHarp, Amazon Reviewer
While Farden the Written mage busies himself digging up his past in the strange deserts of Paraia, the storm-clouds begin to gather for Durnus, Elessi, Cheska, and Modren.
"There are certain twists that will surprise the reader by genuinely coming out of the left field."
- Fantasy Book Critic
Together with Farfallen and his dragon-riders, they must fight to survive against the Long Winter, the vicious machinations of the new Arkmage, and the arrival of something much deadlier than both combined. War, deception, and murder are quickly becoming the only paths to salvation...
I will say it’s very well written and I would encourage others to still read it! I can only express my opinion and it just wasn’t working for me I just struggled so hard to get into the book and connect properly!
