She's lucky he's a charmer…

Lindi Parker works hard at being human, not an easy task for a snake shifter. She has no desire to search for others like her—until a new case changes everything. When Lindi learns that she's not the only shapeshifter in the world, she also realizes she might be next on a killer's list.

In order to save herself and the abused children she works with, she will have to team up with Dr. Kade Nevala, a member of the shifter tribe responsible for eradicating weresnakes—and the most attractive man Lindi's ever met. Even more terrifying, she’ll need to embrace her serpent side, a choice that has enormous consequences for Lindi, and for everyone around her.


A really good read. A snake shifter paired with a mongoose shifter well you don't get that often. It's refreshing to see an author break away from the more common choices of shifters, I really didn't expect a mongoose. Snakes have very bad reps and its
No different for Linidi! Her life gets a lot more interesting when the dashing doctor crashes into it! She finally can find out something about herself and her kind.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes a good shifter book.

The Dream Pony by Shanon Picciolo is a great bedtime story. It does not have too much action in it and has a nice, calming feel to it.



A young girl by the name of Emilie is outside daydreaming when she thinks she hears hoofbeats. She sits very quietly and soon a pony approaches her. Once she gains the pony’s trust she climbs on its back and they go for a ride together.



The pony takes her to a beautiful stream, a faraway valley, and even way up on top of a mountain. Together they play with deer and run with timberwolves. Finally, when it gets dark the pony takes Emilie back home so she can go to bed and dream about a pony in the woods.



What I liked best is that the book takes readers through multiple different areas of the forest and mountains on horseback. Many children dream of having or at least riding a horse one day and Dream Pony takes them on that wonderful journey. What I did not like was that there is one page that is twice as long as the others. Some children with shorter attention spans may have issues with this page as it changes the pace of the story. Parents should be aware of this and ready to help if a child is trying to read it on their own.



Young children will enjoy having this book read to them. Also, children who are starting to read on their own may find this book enjoyable, though they may need help with some of the words. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4. Other than the one page being longer than necessary there is nothing negative to say about this book. With the book even ending with the words “Good Night” this book gives children something great to imagine right before bed and encourages good dreams.

The action continues from the first book, and the Wasp Empire is on the march, first to the Ant city of Tark and then to Collegium itself.
With his warnings still not being heeded, Stenwold Maker takes matters into his own hands.
My favourite character here is Felise Mienn, the eponymous dragnonfly. She is hunting down Wasp Thalric whom she believes killed her children. The conflict between them, and how the other characters become embroiled becomes one of the best themes of the series, especially with its conclusion and what that means for the series as a whole.

To really appreciate I believe this must be read or reread, as an adult. Not to or for a child, but to yourself. The descriptions of the garden are beautiful, the change in the children can be felt as well as seen. It really is quite remarkable and I'm sad I never knew how good it really was until now.
If I had a criticism it would be that I would have preferred a fraction longer at the end to really complete the story, even if just a page or two more.
A classic to be owned.
  
An imaginative story of dragons and a poor, plain girl named Creel. This is an excellent read for not only school age children but also adults. I loved the new take on dragons and what they all hoard instead of gold and jewels. The descriptions of dragons as well as Creel's dress work was vivid and believable. I could really place myself there with Creel and go through what she was going through, even down to her itchy feet while wearing her blue dragon slippers. Recommended! I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

A great first volume! Saga is definitely NOT for children. The story hooked me from the first pages. The characters are interesting and different. Adding the innocence of a baby into the story pushes the story in a direction that demands strength, courage, and emotion right next to the vulgarity of war. I look forward to reading about what happens next. There is a lot going on in the story with different characters' places in the war, but it's still easy to follow. If you're on the fence about giving this story a try, read it!!

Tier and Seraph are older and have grown/growing children. When Tier disappears and the worst is assumed it is up to her and her sons to hold the family together and discover the truth behind Tier's disappearance. And in the process finding a much greater danger.
An amazing book, I love the relationship between Tier and Seraph. I enjoyed that it was a group effort to deal with the threats that not only effect their family but maybe even the rest of the empire.
Once you finish you'll be reaching for the next book.
