The Fae-Witch Trilogy Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway: Reign by Jenna Bernel




Hello, Therians!
Welcome to my third and final stop on the Fae-Witch Trilogy Blog Tour brought to you by iluvtours!
If I haven't said it already, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS SUPER AMAZING TRILOGY!!!
I didn't think it could get any better, but boy was I wrong! The final book in the trilogy, Reign, was fantastic!

 Don't forget the giveaways below, enter to stand a chance of winning this exciting trilogy!



SYNOPSIS

For Aria Darwin, playing with fire has become a way of life, not because her powers have finally been unearthed, but because she’s drawn to the dormant light sparking behind Clay’s eyes. With every move towards that light, she risks her title as Queen. Even though she’s terrified of getting burned by the backdraft, Aria can’t seem to ignore the tempered blaze buried in her heart.

After a disturbing vision, Aria withholds a deadly secret in order to protect her Kingdom. Her people, her friends, not even Clay knows the truth as she makes peace with her destiny. Aria is looking to the future but the past keeps haunting her dreams, and she fears that the cost to defeat her enemy will be a much greater sacrifice than her soul.



Now Available on Amazon Kindle for $2.99 and FREE for Amazon Prime members!

REVIEW

The third book in The Fae-Witch Trilogy was everything I have come to expect from Bernel, and so much more. This was one explosive finish and I am so sad to see it come to and end!
I have to do some gushing over Clay. I am so completely in love with him!! He is super sweet, gorgeous, sexy, has a wicked sense of humor and could charm the pants off of anyone. I loved his flirtatious interactions with Aria, and the tender moments they shared tugged and my heart-strings. It was exciting to read and made me fall in love with him even more. How Aria had to strength to walk away from him the morning after the ice cream incident is beyond me. I would have been more than happy to stay in his arms for eternity, to hell with what anyone else thought, or the fact that they were on the brink of war.
My view of Aria has completely changed since the first book. Where she was flakey and a bit annoying, I saw her grow in so many ways in Ignite, and she continued to develop into a strong, true leader in Reign. If I were a citizen of Draiochta, I would want her as my Queen, and she'd have my full trust and support. Her selflessness and loyalty to her people, people she had no idea even existed until a short while before, was astounding.
The final battle scene, although swift, was enthralling. I felt like I was right beside the characters, fighting the battle with them. I literally felt Aria and Clay's pain as if it was my own, and by the end of it I was a crying my eyes out. The anguish and terror ripped into my own soul. 
Bernel has a talent when it comes to keeping you on the edge of your seat. Whether it's waiting for that elusive moment when Aria and Clay finally give in to their feelings, or the touch-and-go moment when you think all is lost and Famorii have come out on top. I couldn't stop reading for one second.

OTHER BOOKS IN THE FAE-WITCH TRILOGY
UNEARTH (FAE-WITCH #1) 


Aria Darwin has always considered herself cursed. She is obsessed with finding a cure for the bad boyfriend plague. Worse yet, she’s in denial about her weird abilities and terrified of her mysterious stalker who causes the earth to quake violently with the snap of his finger.

With her two best friends, Aria enters her first semester of college armed with a “no more men” pact in an effort to demagnetize the sleaze balls. Unfortunately, the agreement proves difficult when she meets Liam, a charming foreign exchange student, on the first day of school.

Aria quickly discovers that Liam is not only Mr. Perfect, but he also somehow ignites her supernatural side. Upon the invitation of her dream guy, Aria travels to Ireland through the study abroad program, dragging her friends along with her. But her world of euphoric bliss quickly comes crashing down as she uncovers the truth about her past, revealing who she really is and what she was born to do.

IGNITE (FAE-WITCH #2)

SYNOPSIS

If time heals all wounds, then Aria Darwin’s clock has stopped. No amount of magic elixir can repair a broken heart. In the aftermath of untruths and tainted love, Aria is unsure if she will ever recover to see the light of her destiny.

Now living in the enchanted city of Draíochta, along with her two best friends, Aria struggles to find her place in the Kingdom. A plan must be set to ensure the safety of her people, but how can they believe in her if she can’t believe in herself.

With the assistance of her Guard Keeper, Clay, she slowly develops her powers, but will she be strong enough to destroy her enemy? Will she ever remember what was once ignited in her soul, and the real question is will she run or will she fight?


Now Available on Amazon Kindle for $2.99 and FREE for Amazon Prime members!


GLASS CASTLES (PREQUEL NOVELLA, FAE-WITCH #4)





Clay can't sleep, he never could. Every night he'd close his eyes knowing the dreams would be waiting, but he couldn't quite understand them, making each night more restless than the last. Clay was desperate to find answers to his dreams, and his need to escape Draíochta was beginning to drive him mad. He badly missed his Brother and wanted to visit him, but deep down he knew the need to leave was about more than family. There was a void in him that was growing more painful with each passing day. Life should be perfect for the fourteen year old Prince. It wasn't.

Glass Castles is the story of Clay, a prequel novella to my Fae-Witch Trilogy. See Ari through Clay's eyes, their day on the beach, and the events leading up to the moment that would change their lives, forever. It is meant to be read as the 4th and final in the series. Spoiler Alert: fair warning that if this short book is read before the Trilogy, you'll learn information meant to be revealed over time within the series.

REVIEW

Ignite took this trilogy to a whole new level, and I loved every second of it.

Aria has developed into such an amazing character, and her growth can be seen throughout this book. I'm so glad she is no longer the mopey girl from Unearth. Even though she still has a tendency to wallow in her misfortune, her strength shines through and she has finally learned to stand up for herself. I enjoyed learning more about Aria's powers and getting to see her in action, even if the results were disastrous at times.

I was also excited to see more of Clay. He is a truly amazing character, staying strong and giving so much of himself to keep Aria safe. I often felt sorry for him. He knew just how to push Aria's buttons, and she was quite catty with him, but he had his reasons and as the truth about their relationship unraveled, my heart ached for him all the more. He'd suffered so much, and continued to suffer each day with the guilt that consumed him.

Clay and Aria's chemistry is explosive, literally, but there were some amazingly tender moments shared between them. Clay seemed quite guarded when he was with Aria, but from time to time his soft-hearted, swoon-worthy self showed itself, leaving me with my heart in my throat. Bernel certainly knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seat, waiting for that special moment when two characters, who so obviously belong together, finally admit their feelings. It was painful to read (in a good way)!!

There are plenty of twists and turns, and some amazing revelations within this story. Some made me cry, others sent my heart soaring. I'm ready to dive right into the next book. I'm excited to see what Bernel has in store for the amazing characters she has brought to life.

REVIEW



This book was an interesting start to a trilogy that promises to be exciting.

I'm gonna jump right into it and discuss the the gorgeous Irish men who fill the pages of this story.

Liam was delectable. A real charmer, and even though I had my suspicions about him, I moved them a side for the time being, because who can resist a sexy foreign accent and those gorgeous grey eyes. Although Liam had ther prince charming act down pat, I was extremely intrigued by the 'shadow man', as I like to refer to him, Clay. He had that dark, mysterious, bad boy appeal and I couldn't wait for him to make more of an appearance. I also had my suspicions about his motives, though.

I'm not really sure how I felt about Aria. She wasn't a complete flake, but she was just a little too naïve and clueless. I mean, anyone who thinks about giving, douchebag Doug, a second chance has obviously never heard of the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me."

And then to top it off, she was so easily swayed to forget the pact she made with her girls. And I couldn't believe that she didn't even think twice about trapsing across the world for a guy, no matter how she felt about him. Silly, silly girl. Even after shadow man's warning and the strange electric spark that passed between her and Liam whenever they touched.

I guess we've all had those moments of weakness when our heart wins the race before our mind has even had a chance to process things properly. But Aria's actions were far more dangerous than simply resulting in a broken heart. Something she soon found out when things went pear-shaped in Ireland.

Overall I really enjoyed the mythology in this story and the spin Bernel put on the Fae folklore. It was an enthralling read and I was sucked in from the beginning.

Readers of YA Supernatural Romances will love every bit of this story, and I for one am excited to read book 2. I give it an enjoyable...

Witch Blood Series Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway: WitchLove by Emma Mills




Hello Therians!!

Welcome to my third and final stop in the WitchBlood Series by Emma Mills Blog Tour hosted by iluvtours!!


This series just keeps getting better and better!! Check out my review below and don't forget to enter the giveaway to win a copy of either WitchBlood, WitchCraft or WitchLove!!

 



 
SYNOPSIS
With the reappearance of a lost love, Jess flees to the only people who can help her control her increasing powers and gain independence – her family’s coven. But with a bruised heart can Jess learn to forgive or will she find new love in the United States? Witchlove, the third installment of the Witchblood series, is a new adventure that takes Jess from New England to Voodoo country in the South.

 
REVIEW

I'm absolutely blown away by how amazing this series is. With each book it just gets better and better.

I loved that WitchLove focused more of Jess' witch heritage, as she left Manchester and headed to Boston to learn the ways of her coven. Even though she left on the pretense that she had to master her spell-wielding skills and reach level six to get her license, Jess also had to leave everything she knew, so she could find herself, before deciding if Daniel would be allowed back into her heart. Jess has grown so much from the first book and I love how strong and independent she has become.

Brittany is a great sub for Eva. She is young and innocent but also has lots of spunk. I particularly loved it when she asked Jess if American blood tasted different to British blood. It was also interesting to learn more about her, and her family. Although this caused more trouble for everyone, it resulted in an exciting and explosive battle.

Mills crafts an intriguing story with plenty of twists and turns, and you never really know what to expect. With a great mix of supernatural powers, magic and tons of mayhem, this book enthralled me to the very end.

And, oh wow, what and end it was! The epilogue had me voicing a number of acronyms ranging from OMG to WTH.

I have to have the next book in this series...NOW!!!!

It gets...

OTHER BOOKS IN THE WITCHBLOOD SERIES





When Jess steals a glance at a gorgeous guy in a Manchester nightclub, little does she realise how he is going to change her life…or should that be death? Yet, the vampire clan could never have predicted what they were taking on. With Luke pronounced ‘off-limits’ and the blood of a vampire simmering in Jess’s body, can she forget the love of her life and move on? If not, she will risk exposing the entire Northern clan to untold dangers, in order to live her life the way she wants. Can Jess be sure that Luke is all he appears to be? Will she succumb to the attraction she desperately tries not to feel for Daniel? And why does she still crave a packet of crisps more than a tasty teenage boy’s blood?








Jess is no ordinary vampire. Protected by the Manchester vampire clan, and initiated by her family’s east coast American coven, she is sought after by every dark witch and warring vampire faction. Jess must fight if she wants to keep hold of her friends, her sanity and finally her existence. As the dead bodies of human girls begin to stack up, and her recently accepted vampire boyfriend, Daniel, finds himself in prison, Jess goes on a crazy, forbidden trip to London, racing against time to save an old friend and solve the mystery behind Daniel’s incarceration. In battling new enemies and finding new friends, Jess’s confidence finds room to grow, but who will she lose along the way?
