Review:

Servant of Earth is a brilliant fantasy novel filled with lush world-building, diverse and intriguing characters, a shrewd female main character, and an engaging story.

 

Kenna Heron lives in a world where worthy young women are chosen to live in the supposed luxurious fae world. The moment things take a more sinister tone Kenna doesn't hesitate to risk everything for her friend Anya. This decision thrusts her into the fae world, a world full of glamor, politics, trials, hedonism, violence and betrayal.

 

Few heroines are as intelligent and sharp as Kenna, even fewer are as perceptive and courageous. Kenna is the heroine romantasy and fantasy girlies need. Populating Kennas new world is an interesting assortment of varied characters with equally manifold personalities. While the romance will absorb you it's the friendship between Lara and Kenna that is the true relationship highlight of this book.

 

The world-building is perfect, everything is explained exactly when it is needed. You're never overloaded with too much information. Well-paced as well no part of the book overstays its welcome. Kenna's new verdant and vibrant world is as much a character as the plethora of persons surrounding her.

 

If you want excellent world-building, an astute and quick-witted heroine, dazzling romance, an opulent fae world, and court intrigue, Servant of Earth is not to be missed.

Review:

Boundless is a phenomenal sequel and an end to the Unearthly Trilogy.

 

I can't really give a good plot synopsis without giving away big revelations from this book, but I will say it wraps up the story beautifully. You'll now want for answers; all will be explained.

 

If you enjoyed the previous two books this ending will surely please you. If you haven't picked up this series and have even a vague interest in fantasy, romantasy, angels, or ya then you need to rush to get a copy of unearthly.

Review:

The Love of My Afterlife is a was a wonderful, heartwarming romance that I could not put down. Normally I'm not a big romcom fan but this book swept me off my feet.

 

In this novel, Delphie dies alone in her apartment, a 26 year old virgin, from choking on a burger. She wakes up in the afterlife, where she meets her soulmate, who, it turns out, is just there temporarily and under anesthesia. If she can find this man again in 10 days, and get him to give her a kiss, then she gets to live out her life; if not she has to return to the afterlife.

 

Not only does this book have depth, but it is also moving and riotously funny. I absolutely fell in love with the cast of this book. There isn't an uninteresting or unlovable character in this book. Delphie herself sees tremendous character growth, which is rare for a book that spans 10 days. You'll be rooting for her every step of the way. I found every moment of this fast paced romantic comedy to be fully engaging. Really, I can't say enough about how great this book is.

 

Usually I only really read horror, thrillers, historical fiction, and fantasy novels but for some reason I decided to take a chance on this novel, and I am glad I did because it's the most heartwarming novel I've read in the last several years. There wasn't one thing I didn't like about this book. If the premise seems even moderately interesting, then definitely pick this one up, whether or not romance is your thing.

Review:

Hallowed is another fabulous novel in the Unearthly trilogy.

 

In this novel we have the continuation of a serious love triangle, heart break, confrontations, and shocking revelations. If you liked the first novel you will love this novel. It's fun, fast-paced, and emotional.

 

Usually I can't get into stories that take place in high school because at 36 im so far removed from that part of my life but I devoured this novel like I did the first one. I enjoyed every minute of this novel.

 

If you haven't picked up the first novel you need to order it immediately. If you are a lover of romantasy, fantasy,  angels, and/or YA you will love this novel.
