Everyone in town has turned out to watch the execution, including the king himself, James I. Maidred’s brother, Robert Brody, plans on appealing to the king and begging his sister’s pardon.

When James refuses, Robert watches unable to do anything but watch her die. At that moment he vows his revenge on King James….someone will answer for this miscarriage of justice.

As the witches burn, Tamsin Rivers calls out a curse on the House of Stuart forever striking fear in the heart of King James.

Years later in Brittany The Lady of Faire Isle, Margaret “Meg” Wolfe, is called to attend a young girl who has been cursed by a local suspected witch. Meg is a known witch herself but not an evil witch….a white witch, a healer….a curse breaker.

Review: Bittersweet Seraphim (Seraphim #2) by Debra Anastasia

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Bittersweet Seraphim (Seraphim #2) by Debra Anastasia

Hell can’t seem to keep Satan Jack in….so now it’s earth’s turn to try. What could possibly be worse than being the keeper of Hell?

How about being stuck on earth as a human without the angel he loves?

Satan Jack had been the keeper of Hell for years and he’s good at what he does.

He keeps things running in an orderly fashion….eternity as he knows it is good. He likes Hell. But that was before he met Emma, an angel trying to save the kidnapped God.

When Jack meets Emma, all bets are off…Hell doesn’t stand a chance at keeping Jack so long as Emma is part of his life.

But when Satan Jack’s one true love ends up trapped in Hell because of him, he is cast out back to earth as a human.

Review: Fire (Graceling Realm #2) by Kristin Cashore

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Fire (Graceling Realm #2) by Kristin Cashore

Before gracelings came monsters.

Fire has vibrant, flaming red hair. She is able to influence, control, and read peoples minds. Everyone who comes near her is attracted to her in a savage way. Monsters crave her blood. But she too is a monster….a special human monster….the only one left in the Dells.

Outside of the Seven Kingdoms are the Dells, a wild countryside full of monsters. Monsters are variations of a regular animals but their fur, claws, feathers etc, come in a unique pallet of colors (magenta, gold, silver etc). But above all, they are savage creatures motivated by blood and they all posses the ability to control the minds of others.

Since she was a young girl, Fire has been under the care and protection of Archer and his father, Brocker. Their duty is to protect the last human monster. But when a would-be assassin posing as a poacher is found on Archer’s grounds, everyone is uneasy for Fire’s safety.

Review: Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

by The Lit Bitch12 Comments on Review: Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

Some people are just born with a little something extra. Sometimes that something special is obvious, other times it’s not. But when you are a Graceling, there is no hiding what you are. Special. Different. Dangerous.

Katsa’s mismatched eyes mark her as a Graceling. Being a Graceling means you have different powers. Some graces are useless, like predicting the weather, while others have more useful graces like reading minds. For Katsa, her grace is killing.

But is being a Graceling the same as being a monster?

As soon as her uncle, King Randa, realizes what her grace is, he uses her as a hired thug, punishing other realms for their insults toward him.

Katsa has been isolated most of her life and feared. She doesn’t know how to love or how to make friends. She is afraid of her grace and her uncle. King Randa has turned her into a monster. She doesn’t know anything else.  Continue reading “Review: Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore” →
