Blog Tour: The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli

The Last Namsara
Author: Kristen Ciccarelli
Series: Iskari #1
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Release Date: October 12th 2017
Book Length: 304
Publisher: Gollancz
In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be dark—and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death bringer.

These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up hearing in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn’t until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari—a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl.

Asha conquers each dragon and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm. When she’s offered the chance to gain her freedom in exchange for the life of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard, she finds that there may be more truth to the ancient stories than she ever could have expected. With the help of a secret friend—a slave boy from her betrothed’s household—Asha must shed the layers of her Iskari bondage and open her heart to love, light, and a truth that has been kept from her.

Review: Reap the Shadows by Annette Marie

Reap the Shadows
Author: Annette Marie
Series: Steel & Stones #4
Genre: YA, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Romance
Release Date: October 16th 2015
Book Length: 304
Publisher: Dark Owl Fantasy Inc.
Piper is feeling a bit overwhelmed. With Seiya and Lyre missing, Ash recovering from near fatal injuries, and the Gaians picking fights with daemons all over the city, a girl can’t help but think she might be in over her head. And this time, she’s on her own.

Before she even has a chance to investigate the Gaians’ new stockpile of mysterious, high-tech weaponry, an old enemy ambushes her: Samael’s henchman Raum. He wants Ash’s help and won’t take “get lost” for an answer. She doesn’t know if she can trust Raum, but even more than that, she can’t trust herself with Ash. Sooner or later he’ll catch up to her, and she fears she won’t be able to walk away from him a second time.

Despite her feelings, it will take their combined strength to face a frightening discovery about the Gaians. She and Ash begin to realize that the daemon war is coming to Earth, and they might be the only ones who can stop it — if it’s not already too late.

Like Fantasy? LOVE these... Top pick's of 2015!

Hey everyone!

As you may have guessed, one of my favourite genres is fantasy. Who's isn't?

What I love about this genre is that you can become completely immersed in a unique new world, usually full of magical creatures and rarely are two books the same.

My favourite magical creature would have to be the Fae but I do love witches, dragons, demons and all the rest of it. Although there doesn't have to be creatures like dragons in fantasy books for me to love them, just some semblance of magic and I'm hooked.

So I've spend the majority of my summer reading this genre and I've put together some of my top reads which I think you guys should check out and hopefully come to love as much as me.
