'The Temptation of Dragons'

This was an expertly written story by novelist Chrys Cymri. 'The Temptation of Dragons' grabbed me quickly and kept me involved throughout. From talking dragons and unicorns, to a religious undertone, it may seem over complicated at times but the author did a masterful job of developing each character and that allowed me to keep track of who was who. The synopsis provided on the back cover fills in many of the spaces without destroying the mystery of the story. At times funny, this female version of Dr. Who meets Harry Potter is a great fantasy read to start your new year.

'Keeper of the Key'

Another killer release form author Renee Spyrou. 'Keeper of the Key' is #2 in the Seraphympire Series and like in the first book, the main character Makayla takes us on a journey - Not just adventure, but also emotionally. She must find Alexander before a deadly virus wipes out humanity, but Alexander isn't all that he seems. This second book adds enough new characters to deepen the enjoyment while sticking with the central forward moving plot. Thanks to Renee, who sent the book to me as its a perfect book to read by firelight on these cold Autumn evenings. A very enjoyable story and I am so glad that I was able to share my view.
