The Scourge of Magic (Academy of Falling Kingdoms 3)
By Marisa Mills and Drake Mason
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A floating kingdom. An ancient secret. A desperate hope.

With the help of her new friends in Reverie and the demon companion in her magic sword, Wynter Wilcox opened the chamber beneath the city and discovered the true secret to the kingdom’s power. But when King Gregory learns the truth about the rogue mage that has infiltrated the academy, he declares war on the rival kingdom of Aubade and sends Dorian off to the battlefield.

There’s only one way to stop the destruction: sneak into Aubade and free the demons supporting the floating kingdom. Just when they’re about to succeed, a crippled mage reveals a secret about Wynter’s past that forces her to choose sides. For her friends to survive, the kingdom must fall.

I’ve really enjoyed this series and this was a such a good conclusion to it. Full of action and drama it’s hard to say too much without spoilers so I won’t I’ll just happily recommend for YA fantasy fans.

I completely invested myself in the world that Kingdom of Souls was set in: a young girl, Arrah, is the daughter of two powerful Witch Doctors, who themselves come from a long line of Witch Doctors. But when Arrah comes of age, her powers do not come with it. She’s incapable of even the simplest acts of magic. So when children start disappearing, one of them being a friend of hers, Arrah decides to buy magic from a Charlatan. The cost is years from her life for every magical act. But in borrowing her powers, Arrah discovers a terrible secret. That all Witch Doctors, all people, are in grave danger.

I really enjoyed this - it’s completely immersive, and every detail needed to build an alternate world is thought of. The end could have been a bit more succinct and to the point, and I’m always a bit sad when a previously strong female character seems to lose it over a man, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this and will look out for the next in the series on audible (I really enjoyed the audiobook)

Jilo ( Witching Savannah #4 )
By J.D. Horn
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Aged Mother Jilo is wise in the ways of magic...but once upon a time, she was just a girl.

1950s Georgia: King Cotton has fallen. Savannah is known as the "beautiful woman with a dirty face," its stately elegance faded by neglect, its soul withering from racial injustice and political corruption.

Young Jilo - fiercely independent, intelligent, and ambitious, but thwarted by Savannah's maddeningly genteel version of bigotry - finds herself forced to embrace a dark power that has pursued her family for generations, an ancient magic that may prove her salvation...or her undoing.


This was just what we needed! I love Jilo and it was so good to get her story and the back story of the Taylor’s too. This book was just creepy as hell in some parts and I’m referring to Poppy if you’ve read it the hairs on the back of my neck stood up! I’m sad to see this all wrapped up as the series was so good. I think I may have to start over.

I received an ARC when I signed up and was selected to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.

This teen/young adult read is well written with ever developing characters and I enjoyed reading it. You'll find secret socieities, rituals, magic and a developing romance between my two favorite characters, Julia and Graham. I found it hard to put the book down. There are definitely some lose ends so I look forward to reading the next book.

The ease in which his voice flows through the melodies and the visuals are magic (0 more)
Hozier- the Irish Troubadour
As I await for what Hozier has in store for in the future, it is a nice reminder to hear this song that showcases the divisive nature of humanity as we are in a constant battle with love, lovers and the such. He understand it and does not make a rule that everyone must follow, he knows something about it: that it is ever changing and never set in stone..
