Stone Heart, Book 2 of The Heart of the Staff series by Carol Marrs Phipps & Tom Phipps is an excellent example how fantasy fiction should be written. It is full of action and adventure which made it hard to catch my breath as the book progressed.

The authors did a great job of developing a tale that was both realistic and believable. It was full of plot twist and turns as you followed the adventures of several groups of characters. With the author's style of storytelling it was easy to follow and watch the various storylines come together.

I really liked the way Carol Marrs Phipps & Tom Phipps developed their characters.  They provide the background information that helps make the each of her characters come alive. As the story progressed you could feel each of the characters mature and come to their own, both the heroes and the evil witches. This made it easy to identify with them.

I really liked Stone Heart by Carol Marrs Phipps and Tom Phipps and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

review	The War of the Moonstone by Jack Conner is what fantasy novels are meant to be. This is one of this best fantasy adventures I have read in a long time. The author did an excellent job of telling a tale of high adventure that is full of non-stop action. It grabbed me by the seat of my pants and pulled me into this world of knights, priestesses of light, and all manner of evil creatures.  It is the classic story of good versus evil but it is full of twist and turns which keep you guessing as to want will happen next. Jack Conner developed a cast of characters that were both real and easy to identify with. He gave just enough background info to make them come alive with a story of their own. I soon found myself identifying with and cheering our heroes on. I really like The War of the Moonstone by Jack Conner and I highly recommend this book.     [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]     Click Here to order your copy of The War of the Moonstone from amazon.com

review	If you like the epic struggle between good and evil you will love Turns by Eric Dontigney. This is a fast paced, high action adventure that does not slow down from page one to the end of the book. In today’s world where magic and the forces of power are everywhere there a few heroes that stand out and Eric Dontigney’s lead character is just such a man. Even though the distinction between good evil often blurs and monsters abound Eric’s writing style makes it easy to follow along. The story is well developed and very believable. The characters are also well develop and could be your average next door neighbor. The bad guys and magical creatures even take on a degree of reality which leaves you thinking, “What if?” I really enjoyed the way Eric Dontigney delved into the lead character’s mental state. This made him more believable and real. It made it easier to identify with him. I really enjoyed reading Turns by Eric Dontigney and I highly recommend this book if you like this genre. One caveat. I do recommend you read the first book of the series, Fails (see my review dated Dec. 2012), before this book. It will help the story flow smoother.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]     Click here to order your copy from Amazon.com

review	Elyse Salpeter has put together a fantastic adventure in her book The World of Karov which will keep you glued to your seat and unable to put the book down. From the very first page I was captivated by the story and the characters. The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the way the author describes the worlds she was creating making them believable. It was easy to feel you were there and a part of the story. I love it when I can put myself into a book as the unseen character. Each character was very believable and easy to identify with. Not only the lead characters but the supporting cast of the story was easy to relate to. Each fit into the storyline and helped develop it and bring it to life. I love the way Elyse described her characters in each scene. When Alec entered a scene it actually felt like the room grew colder and darker. I only have one issue with the book and it is a big one. As I was reading and really getting into the story I flipped the page and it ended. All I could do was scream, “No!” Elyse has done an excellent job of capturing my attention and made it a necessity for me to read the next installment of the “The Children of Demilee” series. Excellent job Elyse. I highly recommend The World of Karov by Elyse Salpeter to all ages.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Order your copy today from Amazon.

review	Kolony by Glynn Burridge is one of those books you cannot stop reading once you start. It is full of excitement and action with a big touch of pure scary built in. The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. Yet, each time I thought it was at a climax it would take off again keeping me on the edge of my seat. The main characters were very believable, both good and bad. I found myself trying to stay out of the story because of the scariness and evil that was woven throughout the story. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to a more mature reader as some of the plots were gruesome.
