This was a plot-driven read with an interesting take on fairies, their various forms of magic, their politics, and their tense interactions with humans.

Wild Court is an epic urban fantasy, perfect for fans of shows like Buffy, Angel or the X-FIles and books like The Dresden FIles or Paternus. Full of laughs, magic, action and heart, Matthew Samuels says a lot about the state of our world but never forgets to have fun.

Review: The Many Shades of Midnight by C.M. Debell
The Many Shades of Midnight is a solid standalone debut novel, with an important message at its heart – one that is directly linked to our own real world issues. If you’re looking for a standalone fantasy, with complex characters, told with a fresh new voice, then this is well worth your time.
Review: Bloodlines (The Guardian of Empire City #1) by Peter Hartog
Bloodlines is a blend of science-fiction, urban fantasy, and paranormal—three genres I happen to love. Add to the mix a good mystery to solve, and I’m a happy reader.
BOOK TOUR/REVIEW: The Many Shades of Midnight by C.M. Debell
The Many Shades of Midnight asks hard questions and offers even harder answers. No punches are pulled as the story comes to a bittersweet and satisfying ending. Full of tension, political intrigue, and characters you will hate to love and love to hate, C.M. Debell has written a fantastic stand-alone fantasy novel that left me with both closure and a want for more. This is a novel I will not soon forget and will think about for quite a while.
BOOK TOUR/REVIEW: The Price of Power (The Price of Power #1) by Michael Michel
The Price of Power is a slow burn, character driven, dark and epic fantasy. With a world steeped in history and lore, fascinating magic, terrifying villains (The Madness is a new favorite of mine) and characters you can relate to, if not eventually love. Michael Michel is on to something special here and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next.
