How To Slay A Dragon by Bill Allen (Journals Of Myrth #1)

Ruuan is a very large dragon.

Twelve-year-old Greg Hart can’t slay a dragon. He’d be lucky to win a fight against one of the smaller girls at school.

Now the magicians of Myrth have mistaken him for a legendary warrior, so they’ve yanked Greg into their world of sorcery and danger. Nothing will stop the people of Myrth from believing Greg will rescue King Peter’s daughter from Ruuan the dragon. After all, Greg has been named in a prophecy, and no prophecy has ever been wrong before.

Until now.

Moon Spun by Marilee Brothers (Moonstone #3)

School’s out for summer, but Allie’s hip deep in trouble of the faery kind. Before she can save her world, she’ll have to save theirs.

Junior’s back from Mexico with his movie-star entourage. Beck’s using his half-demon charms to “heal” a new girl. Mom’s still whacky and now she’s dating Principal Hostetler. High school is still an obstacle course of drama queens, bullies and nutjobs. The Trimarks are still a menace, and the moonstone pendant has revealed even more mind-boggling powers.

In other words, Allie Emerson’s life as the Girl Voted Least Likely to Save The World From Evil has gone from Weird to Super-Charged Super-Weird, and it’s about to get even weirder. “You’re a faery princess.” So says the mysterious Ryker, whose handsome talents include turning himself into a hawk. By the way, he and Allie are destined to marry. In faery land. If they can save it from forces even more deadly than Trimarks and high school.

The third book in the Unbidden Magic series plunges readers into a rich other-world of danger, humor, romance, fable, fairytale and magical destiny.

The Branding by Micaela Wendell

“I wish to place the Brand on this young girl.”

Morwen Aleacim, an elfin teen in the village of Aren, has always heard rumors of evil lurking in the great forests of the kingdom, where children vanish. Her own father disappeared into those forests, and Morwen is determined to find him. So she is secretly training to be a warrior—against the strict rules of decorum for girls—with the help of Armando, an aging human swordsman.

When Brynn, Morwen’s own baby sister, vanishes, Morwen tracks her to the horrifying lair of Tobias, an inhuman Dark Wizard. There she strikes a deal with him—her service in return for Brynn’s freedom.

He accepts. She’ll go free along with Brynn for now, but is bound to him as his apprentice. To her horror, Tobias brands her—not with a fiery mark, but with a spell that will slowly transform her human body into a grotesque creature and her spirit into an obedient slave. When the transformation is complete she’ll have no choice but to return to him forever.

Aided by Alan, a handsome elfin boy who will soon have a dark challenge of his own, Morwen sets out to find a wizard who can lift the spell. It’s a race against time as she struggles to free her mind, body, spirit and heart from a horrible fate.

I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.
