Fans of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Eragon will enjoy this contemporary remix of the classic epic fantasy genre. ---------------- The final pages will leave you breathless. Kara Magari is about to discover Ourea: a beautiful world full of terrifying things. A thousand years ago, an Ourean book of magic disappeared. Whoever breaks the seal on the cover will absorb its untamed power... although that supremacy is as much a curse as a gift. Sought after for centuries, the book--the Grimoire--has never been found. That's because the book has a mind of its own, and it has already chosen its master. It wants Kara. Like it or not, Kara belongs to the Grimoire. There's no escape, either--the only question is how long she'll endure against the chilling creatures she discovers. In this world of magic and betrayal, Kara shouldn't trust anyone. But when a native soldier named Braeden vows to keep her safe, she drops her guard. Though she doesn't know it, her growing attraction to him may just be her undoing. For twelve years, Braeden Drakonin has lived a lie. The Grimoire is his one chance at redemption, and it lands in his lap when Kara Magari comes into his life. Yet as he spends time with her, her charm begins to melt his resolve. He can't let that happen. Even though her touch makes his heart race, he's never known love. He doesn't plan on starting now. This is Ourea. Only the cunning survive.----------------Novels in the Grimoire Trilogy:Lichgates (#1)Treason (#2)Heritage (#3) - Available Fall 2013

Review of Lichgates3rd review for Novemberwww.reviewoffantasy.comStar rating: 4 stars Loved it, a really good read. I loved the world building and was awed by what S.M Boyce created, let alone the world itself, the creatures and different species that belonged to each separate Kingdom was fascinatin...
This book, it sounds really good on the blurb. There are some good concepts but its all buried under terrible amateurish writing and awkward dialogue. The characters aren't well defined, the story could be good but even that is all over the place, there are info dumps instead of the reader discove...
I received Litchgates as a free download on Amazon. In exchange, I offer the author this, my honest review. Note the terrific new cover for this book: I open by saying that I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. The reason for this was that I had one fairly significant issue with the story, against...
I really enjoyed this book. I thought the character development and world building was excellent. Ourea is an intense and fascinating land. Each of the kingdoms that Kara visited was distinct and unique in its own way. Hillside has protected Braeden for years from his past, but holds its own secrets...
