Book Review: Demonkin by T. Eric Bakutis
Book Review: Starlight by William Stacey
Book Review- Gaia’s Majesty: Discovery by Roger B. Burt
What’s it about?
Our earth mother, Gaia, was intrigued by clever creatures developing on her Earth. She believed they held promise but also danger for themselves and her planet.
Wisely Gaia reserved a gifted population of women dedicated to earth’s stewardship to safeguard the future of humankind. They remained in cities in the sea called Tethys. They would be a genetic pool if she needed to restart the species. The ones in the sea were called Progenitors and had lower fishlike bodies when in the sea but could morph to totally human form on land. Some members, called Primals, lived on the land and among them were a defense force, predominantly women, called the Andromeda. From these people were born the myths of mermaids and amazons.Together they are called Tethyans.
Opposed to the Tethyans are the Overlords. While Tethyans devote themselves to the stewardship of humankind and the earth, the Overlords are devoted only to profit and power.

Book Review: The Ables by Jeremy Scott
What’s it about?
Phillip Salinger is just a normal kid who happens to have a disability. He’s been blind since birth, but is pretty okay with his situation. Then, the day before he starts 7th grade, his dad takes him somewhere for “The Talk”. Of course, Phillip thinks his dad is going for the ever-so-embarrassing sex talk.
Little did Phillip know. “The Talk” involved him finding out he was a super-hero. A Telekenetic, to be specific. Unfortunately, the whole blindness thing means he is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to using his powers. So its no surprise that he’s put in “special-ed” at the local Superhero school.
There he makes friends, a group that soon begin to call themselves The Ables. And then… he finds out exactly how much life can suck as, just when everything is starting to look up, everything starts to go drastically wrong.
Book Review: Sky Ghosts – All for One by Alexandra Engellmann
What’s it about?
“Under the cover of night, unseen in their black gear against the black sky, there are Sky Ghosts – warriors and assassins, who have been hiding among humans for centuries, revealing their supernatural abilities only to the human elite. They are bodyguards of the highest level and protectors of their cities at night, when they hunt those who chose the dark side, Sky Beasts.
In New York City, there are two fighters that Sky Beasts hate more than anyone – Jane and Pain, two sisters who don’t think twice about beheading a Beast or two. One night, they save two boys from their enemies’ blades, and since that moment, their lives are effectively ruined. The whole Sky Beasts gang is now after them, and not only the boys are in danger, but everybody the sisters love and care about.
As a war threatens to break out, the main mystery remains unsolved: why would the Beasts hunt two ordinary human boys?
Sky Ghosts: All for One is the first book in the Sky Ghosts series that won’t leave indifferent fans of sword fighting, fantasy romance, and the woman warrior genre.”

What’s it about?
“Reeling from a terrible accident that claimed the lives of his parents, Felix arrives at Portland College hoping only to survive the experience. In time, however, his reality star roommate shows him there is more to higher education than just classes, shared bathrooms and bad dorm food, and Felix gradually dares to believe he can put his past behind him. But a fateful storm looms on the horizon: In the nearby woods, two hikers become the latest victims in a series of gruesome murders; a disfigured giant embarks on a vicious cross-country rampage, killing teenagers who fail his ‘test’; and an ancient society of assassins tasked with eradicating the wielders of a mysterious source of power awakens after a long silence. Only one man–the school’s groundskeeper–knows that the seemingly unrelated events are connected, and that an eighteen-year-old boy stands in the center of the storm.”
