Now in My Bookbag: Forged in Light, (The Forged Chronicles Book 4), by Alyssa Rose Ivy

This conclusion to the Forged Chronicles uses a very interesting plot to create a good, but unexpected, end to the series.
The story development is imaginative. The approach used by Ivy, to tie up the series’ loose ends, is clever.
The is not a lot of further character development in this book, as most of that is covered in the previous three books in the series.  4 1/2 stars
I would highly recommend re-reading the first three books prior to reading Forged in Light. Because of time constraints, I failed to do so, and I was a little lost from time to time as a result.
This book is recommended for New Adult, and older, readers.

Now in My Bookbag: Goddess, (A Runes Novel), by Ednah Walters

I just finished my second read through of this book, thus my delay in reviewing.
This book is an enjoyable read. I feel as though it starts a bit slowly, and spends a lot of time rehashing a scene involving Dev. That scene was covered in depth at the end of Gods, the last book in Eirik’s story.
Once Cora goes to meet her birth parents, the book takes on an excellence in storytelling that I have come to expect from author Ednah Walters. However, the story feels unfinished. How will Cora and Echo’s adventure end if this is truly the final installment of their saga?

ABOUT THE BOOK

It’s been three years since Michael’s death, and life isn’t any easier. The gift bestowed upon me has only grown stronger. I see the dead, everywhere. Those who have remained earthbound are looking for answers, or have messages for their loved ones. That’s what I do. I help resolve those questions, then assist them in crossing over.

Lately, I’ve had a recurring nightmare—a guy, badly injured in a car crash. Each time I’ve called out to him, he never answers. I’ve never even seen his face.

My mentor, Lucy Crow, believes he’s still alive, and I’m supposed to help him. That my dreams are not just subconscious thoughts; they’re premonitions.

For the first time ever, I will leave my reclusive life in Alaska. My best friend Emily is taking me to California for spring break. She thinks it’s time for me to find someone—to start living again. But what I need to find is the answer to my nightmares.

Little do I know...my answer will find me.

Now in My Bookbag: Warrior, (A Relentless Novel), by Karen Lynch

This is the perfect companion book for the Relentless Series. Told from Nikolas’ point of view, it is written as a seamless comparison to Sara’s point of view.
Author Karen Lynch adds so much depth and complexity to Nikolas’ character. It also adds extra layers to the world-building that is already imaginative and well-written.
Lynch’s creation of Warrior is a great decision that certainly enhances my reading experience. Well done. 5 stars

Now in My Bookbag: In My Dreams, by Ciara Knight

Such a sweet romance, even though Charlotte and Brady are a bit more abrasive than Knight’s Riverbend characters, but inclusion of her previous characters offsets some of the grating feel. The world-building for this town takes place in earlier books. 31/4 stars

Now in My Bookbag: The Bones of Odin, (Matt Drake Book 1), by David Leadbeater

I think that I was looking for something of an Indiana Jones adventure. While Leadbeater delivers shades of Indy, there are way too many ideas in this book... many of them are underdeveloped.

Drake is a very interesting character. It is unfortunate that his character is not further developed. Frey is a great foil for Drake, but Frey is underdeveloped. Regrettably, there are far too many other characters. It is difficult to remember who is who sometimes.

I had really hoped to like this book as a slight change of pace for me, but I just don't find it to be very enjoyable. 2 stars
