BOOK 2 OF READER ROUND UP

  Welcome to day two of reader round up. Today for you I have book 4 in the Temporal Armistice series b. THE QUEEN OF DISCORD  by Mathew S Cox 


                            BOOK BLURB 



 Brooklyn Amari exists to destroy the world—but she doesn’t want to.

It’s not every day a person finds out their father is an ancient demon, two powerful armies expect her to end creation, and everything people think about celestial beings is completely wrong. Such news would break most people. Fortunately, Brooklyn’s tough. She’s also kinda lazy, which works, since saving the world requires she do nothing at all.

Good chance her life has gone off the rails when giant lightning-spitting birds are the least of her problems. Her friend is in deadly trouble with a gang and the warmongers hatch a devious new plan to destroy the Armistice—a.k.a the world—without her.

Sitting on her ass ignoring everything won’t cut it anymore.

Worse, she can’t stop thinking about the eco-terrorist mage attacking industrial sites across the country. Chasing people down is totally not in her job description as a firefighter, but such a strong psychic fixation is a big red flag. If Brooklyn’s limp excuse for a conscience doesn’t wake up, something bad is going to happen… probably to a bunch of innocent people who don’t deserve it.
                         MY REVIEW
 Well Brooklyn is just not having a good week. All she wants to do is her job but strange things are making it very difficult to do so. Between fires and all the magical stuff that has been happening around her . How can a half demon relax. When Ashley is kidnapped, Brooklyn is led down a path where she is caught by the ones that want to bring on the end of the human race and when all things are done . We now have a mini me that the warmongers think will destroy everything. But with Brooklyn things aren't as straight forward as one thinks. Will she be able to find mini me before they do and will she be able to keep everyone safe . 
   Poor Brooklyn is really going through it and she is trying so hard to keep it together. She is strong willed and will protect those she loves with every ounce of her being. She admits she is pretty lazy at times but when friends are in peril she is there to help out . Tracy and Ashley her neighbours are well they seem to bring out the laughter and the mother in Brooklyn. Ashley is getting into her fair share of problems especially when it comes to reheating food in a rune machine. You have to read to figure out what happens but it has to do with chinese food .  Each character is getting more and more complex . 
  This book is just a hoot to read, the author has just a way of combining magic, mayhem and lightheartedness into a book that will grab you by the heart and keep reading until the end .Yes you have to read the books in order but they are a fast read that will keep you giggling and feeling for the main character and everything that is dumped on her . So if you want a fun read that will keep you going check it out

     Good afternoon my peeps , we are on day one of the first reader round up of 2026. Today I have for you book 3 in the Temporal Armistice series . THE GATE TO OBLIVION by Mathew Cox 


                             BOOK BLURB



  Brooklyn Amari doesn’t ask for much, only the ability to make it through life without destroying the universe.

Working as a firefighter is her true calling, satisfying her deep, primal draw to the flames. Immunity to burning courtesy of her half-extraplanar ancestry makes her the city’s best weapon against disaster of the incendiary kind—not that anyone knows about it. She’s trying to keep her nature a secret, since magical creatures aren’t allowed inside major population centers… and most people probably wouldn’t react well to a demon.

Even a half-demon.

Since her psychic abilities are out of the bag, the Arson Investigation Unit calls on her for all the ‘weird ones’ no one else wants to touch. When they can’t explain an apparent case of spontaneous human combustion, they bring her in to track a deadly arcane arsonist.

She’s happy to help, but unfortunately, some not-quite-angels abduct someone she cares for. They need Brooklyn to destroy the mortal world as it’s in the way of their interdimensional war—but even if she does what they want, everyone she loves will die.
                                                          MY REVIEW 
       Brooklyn is riding two worlds , she is half demon and actually only exists to destroy the world. Working as a firefighter she uses her physic abilities to figure how the fires were started. When there is a case of spontaneous combustion has her working the case. She is happy to help out but there is a big kink in her plans when some not so quite angels try and abduct one person that she cares about. They want her to destroy the mortal world to start a war . There is now way of getting out if . If she does what they want everyone will die.  
     Brooklyn is part demon and she is living her life in the mortal world , working for the fire department and trying to help out her neighbours . She is good at her job and wants to do what she can for people. But she is also your average young woman who wants to sleep and play video games with her young neighbour. She is also torn with doing what is right and her destiny . Her firefighting team are there to help her and her best friend Natalie is there for a laugh and some magical inventions . I love the depth in which the author writes his characters is amazing . Each character is well written and complex and you really get to know them and feel what they are going through . 

   This is a fun read that will have you wondering which will win the angels or the demons or Brooklyn. This is a great mixture of levity and mystery. He entwines  fast paced action and magic .  I truly enjoyed this book and laughed through out. This would be a great series to while away the winter days .  So if you want a fun series that takes you on an adventure between right and wrong. Check it out for your spring list

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL

  Good morning my peeps today we are heading back to the Hollow, Haven Hollow. With Hp Mallory"s newest book in the Haven Hollow series. DRAGON'S BLOOD book 10 in the series. 


                             BOOK BLURB



 Poppy has always known she was different. Being a gypsy witch with a talent for alchemy is one thing. Having an actual goddess whispering in your mind is another entirely.

When a freak accident reveals the power coursing through her veins, power that can heal, transmute, and even command, Poppy is thrown headfirst into a world of volatile magic and supernatural politics. Suddenly, she is no longer just the town’s eccentric gypsy. She is a favored daughter of the goddess, expected to protect life itself, even when it tries to bite her.

With a son to raise, a store to run, and her own budding relationship with her soulmate, Poppy doesn’t exactly have space on her calendar for magical disasters. But when a strange and terrifying creature is unleashed, Haven Hollow erupts into chaos, and Poppy is the only one with the power to stop it.

Now she must master abilities she barely understands, navigate witches’ coven drama, outwit supernatural enemies, and figure out why the goddess chose her in the first place, before something ancient and hungry tears apart everything she loves.

Welcome to Haven Hollow, where the monsters are real, the magic is unpredictable, and the alchemist next door might be the only one who can save you.


                        MY REVIEW 
 Welcome back to the hollow, where Poppy is struggling with all the new powers that she is now gaining. When things go from bad to worse. when an accident sends her reeling . She doesn't need right now between her store and raising her son. Then there is the budding relationship with her soul mate. Now she must fight a creature that is destroying her life . She has to figure everything out before the town blows up around her. Will she be able to figure out her alchemy so she can save the town. 

  Poppy and the gang are back and funnier than ever. Poor Poppy is having such a bad time of it and she is having a time of it trying to keep everything safe . She is so funny especially when things go wrong like when something is trying to kill her for her alchemy books . The coven is back and well Wanda is as sassy as ever and the ladies are willing to do anything to help Poppy out. We also get to see some characters from Misty Hollow and how they are getting along in the hollow people. 

  This series is one of go to series that I love to read when I want feel good . The characters well written and complex and they feel like coming home to friends . I also like that there are different sub series in the series that all come together in the Hollow . So if you want a fun read check out this series .
