The Revealed by Sarah Kleck

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Jared and Evelyn are very much in love, and very much the heirs of their respective magical ancestors. Morgana is still very evil, and continues to recruit evil people to follow her.

CategoryIntended for YA, I imagine

Why I chose this bookNext in series

My personal opinion (the review)
I should have stopped with the first book. But it ended in a cliffhanger, so I felt the need to continue. What a disappointment. The language and sexual situations were completely unnecessary.

WarningsLanguage: yes
Violence: yes
"Adult" situations: yes
Death: yes

Movie rating equivalentR for language and adult situations

Protagonist descriptionEvelyn is weak and helpless, until she receives the magic of Nimue

Point of view of storyFirst, focused on Evelyn

Book lengthMedium-long

Story flowGreat

Grammar and spelling issuesNone

Character connection (no spoilers)
None

For series:Independent or integral (stand-alone or back story dependent)
Integral

Series review as a wholeCould have been so much better

If you only have time for one, read: (which one)
Skip it. Pick a different series. This series had real potential: magic, true love, a whole separate world, unbelievably bad antagonist. And it started out really great- YA-worthy. But the f-bombs and the sexuality... What a waste.

The Game by Terry Schott

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers) What if this life is just a simulation? What if our bodies are in another world, plugged into a virtual reality game, and our entire life is just one play in that game? What would our real life be like, if we could experience several full simulated lifespans, in our teen years, and then enter adulthood? That is the premise of this story. Category Sci-Fi Why I chose this book It was either free or discounted on Amazon, and sounded interesting My personal opinion (the review) Too many inconsistencies. For example: The real world is able to view the players in the game in "real time", but time in the game is sped up, so that a week in real life is worth a decade in the virtual world. How do real world people have enough time to experience the virtual world, in real time, while still being accelerated?

Brief synopsis (no spoilers): Two main stories: Carol, the daughter of Lord Rafel, wants to be a magic wielder. As she learns magic and grows in strength, she is unaware that she is being hunted by the greatest wielder in the world. The second story is about a ward of Rafel's, named Blade, who becomes an infamous assassin and works for the king. The king sends Blade to kill Rafel and Carol, but he warns them to flee instead. Blade wanders, to escape the king's justice, but finds himself in his own adventure. Category : Fiction, fantasy, possibly YA Why I chose this book : Kindle First My personal opinion : I really enjoyed the story line, the world the author created, and the depth of the characters. It was easy to lose myself in the story. I also really appreciate that the story is "clean" - no bad language, no sexual situations, etc. I feel comfortable recommending this to my teenage children. Warnings Language: none Violence: fairly frequent fighting "Adult...
