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: Waking Olivia, by Elizabeth O'Roark

This exceptional, contemporary novel has elements of romance, mystery, and suspense.

The main characters are complex and relatable. Olivia is both damsel in distress and a strong, fierce female. Will is both prince charming and a cynic to whom life has dealt a raw deal. They are perfectly poised to rescue each other.

The story is well thought out, and the prose is perfect for the plot. The inclusion of Olivia’s mysterious past, and the suspense that it brings, adds just the right amount of excitement to this great read. This is now one of my favorite contemporary books. It hugs the line, between college romance and adult romance, very well. 5 stars
