SEVEN NIGHTS WITH THE MOONBLOOD PRINCE is a standalone fantasy romance that reads like an opposite Aladdin!

Alaric comes from a Northern Kingdom where magic, frivolities, and anything not absolutely necessary are banned. He is also the b@stard son of the king, with magic in his veins, so is basically sold to a desert kingdom for trade routes. Samar is the thief who steals Alaric's heart, who shows him around the town, and who actually talks with him. I'm sure you can figure the rest out.

This was an easy read, full of magic and mayhem, as they get into different adventures night after night. I will be honest: I was expecting the rose to have a bigger impact than it did. This could easily be the start of a new series, especially with the discovery of the wall in the epilogue.

Definitely recommended for anyone who can read with the song 'Prince Ali' on repeat in their head!

Murder, Mayhem, and Magic in Japan
Jaya has a week off for Thanksgiving break, and she is heading to Kyoto, Japan, where her best friend, Sanjay, is appearing in a televised magic event along with a Japanese star. And Jaya is hoping to connect with a local professor who has just reached out for her help about a trading ship lost to history. Jaya has only been there for a few hours when she realizes a mysterious Ninja is following her. The magician that Sanjay is working with is keeping a secret close to his vest. Then, Sanjay and Jaya find a body at the bottom on an embankment. Can Jaya figure out what is going on in time to keep Sanjay safe?

This book emphasized magic a bit more than treasure hunts, but that element was still here. Either way, outside the pacing once or twice, I enjoyed this book. That included the bit of history we learned along the way. Sanjay annoyed me a little at times, but I understood where he was coming from most of the time. The rest of the cast were great, and I enjoyed the updates we got on the characters. If you haven’t picked up this book yet, you’ll enjoy it.

A wonderful adaptation.
The series is filled with with the same magic as the source material. You have a loveable cast that deal with real issues in relatable way. My only issues are with the last three or so episodes which is why the review gets an 8 out of 10.

I personally loved this movie. For me it had the perfect balance of magic, fun and danger as well as magical beasts. Whilst it doesn't strictly fit with the HP movies and books, it was a very enjoyable watch with seamless cgi. It also does an admirable job of explaining the complex storyline without giving everything away and leaving several unanswered questions.

Sydrian. I loved this book so much. There were so many moments where I just wanted to start bouncing up and down. I love how Sydney is finally coming into all of the 'issues' that she didn't want to deal with. The magic, her feelings towards Adrian, and dealing with the Alchemists. I can't wait to start the next one!

I received a copy of Shadow Frost from Blackstone Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for world building and this one was a thrill to read.

I loved the way magic was portrayed in this book but most importantly I adore the characters.

I really really hope there's going to be a sequel to this one, because that cliffhanger!

I am an avid fan of the Alfred Boy King series. This is the third book in the series, and I am excitedly waiting for book 4. This book is filled with adventure, magic, creatures, and bravery. The main character Alfred is a sweet and curious boy who makes for a charming and sympathetic character to follow on his exciting journeys.
