Charlie N. Holmber

Fantasy

A great story of transformation through the pain. It's about the young women cursed to turn everything she touches into ice and the man who braves the winter storm to be near her. The author describes in detail the tale of survival, change, sacrifice, and love. It has the charm of an old fairytale with life lessons to learn.

Emily R. King

Fantasy

This book is a series of three, and I am on the second one now. I was drawn to the main character, a young woman who lived through personal tragedy that left her body broken, but not her spirit. Her heart is a mechanical clock, and every hour it ticks could be her last. All she wants is to survive long enough to avenge her family, but her quest takes her on the adventure she didn't expect.

Maria V. Snyder

Fantasy

Read the first book of three and got attached to all the main characters. Avry, strong and compassionate, is the last healer in the land. Everyone is hunting her down. Kerrick, a man with a wounded past, protects her so that she can heal the leader who is capable of stopping the war. The only problem is that it may cost Avry her life, and Kerrick might care too much to allow it.

Aya Ling

Fairy Tale Reimagined

This novel is light and fun, although, I didn't read the subsequent books (just the spoilers in the reviews to know what happens). The beginning is entertaining. Kat is drawn from her world into the story of Cinderella through the book. She can only get out if she is able to finish the story. It's a fast and easy read.

Byrd Nash

College Fae Series

This is a fun contemporary YA fantasy. The action takes place at a European university where the fae and humans attend classes together as they figure out love and friendship. It's about a human who broke up with a siren and might wither away as a result and an unwanted fae roommate who might just be the one to save him.

This fantasy is set in the world inspired by ancient Arabia.

Kaufman & Kristoff

Space Opera

I don't usually read books set in space but this was a fun one. It is also set from the perspective of multiple people which is unusual. The two main characters, a girl lost in time and a boy from a race that looks like fae, who is bonded to love and protect her, were my favorites. And she is the one who will hopefully save the Universe in the end. Waiting for book 3 to come out.

Shari L. Tapscott

Crown & Crest Trilogy

This was an easy fun read full of jest, slow-burn romance, and a very active fantasy world. Of course, having a dashing knight doesn't hurt either.
