7 of 7 A Modern Day Fairy Tale
on May 31, 2014
Average across all scores (www.ileandraXraven.co.uk) comes to 2.125 stars.
I feel like there was so much potential in this book to be awesome. The start, though slow, was really promising, but then it just went off on a bizarre tangent and never really recovered until the end when the happenings back with the father were brought back in as an afterthought. Which makes you wonder… if the ‘real story’ was back in the house, why were there thousands of words dedicated to Jena and Jeremy?
Short answer: no idea.

Nice and easy.
I’ve not read very many werewolf books (not as many as I have vampire ones, anyway) but this one is certainly worth returning to. Yes, there were some things I might have changed or fiddled, but isn’t that always the way?
I’m going to wait until I have a chance to read the next one before I decide exactly how I feel.

Final score across all points 2.75… three stars (full review at www.ileandraXraven.co.uk).
As my first taste of a novella featuring a trans character I’m glad I read it. However it feels almost like this book tried to be too much at once; thriller, erotica, mystery. Staying with one of these would have made a shorter read but, I feel, a stronger read overall.
The Unsuspecting Mage: The Morcyth Saga Book One

Average across all scores (full review at www.ileandraXraven.co.uk) comes to 3 stars exactly.
This is one of those cases in which the merits of the book lie in it’s potential rather than what it actually achieved. There is so much scope here to do more and though that wasn’t achieved, the book was enjoyable and I don’t regret having read it.
I’m not sure if I’ll be going on the read the others in the series, but at least, for now, I’m happy that I’ve read this one.
