In a land where those with magic are esteemed and revered, Janir guards a secret that would send her to the headsman’s block at a word. As one of the reviled Argetallams, she has the power to destroy enchantments and steal others’ magic—an ability that has caused bloodshed for generations.

Raised as the illegitimate daughter of an influential lord, she was determined to turn her back on her heritage, but when her power manifests, leaving a nobleman dead, she has no choice but to flee her adoptive home. In exile with the help of a fearless young enchanter and an elf sworn to protect her, she finds herself entangled in a quest to hide an ancient artifact from the kingdom’s enemies.

But they are not the only ones after the relic and soon their paths cross with a rival from Janir’s distant childhood. With no hope of help or rescue, the fate of nations will depend on a fifteen year old girl and her mastery of powers she doesn’t understand.

MY REVIEW

 

The Key of Amatahn by Elisabeth Wheatley is her debut novel, and part of a trilogy. I have read her Fanged novellas and they blew me away, so I asked her for a copy of The Key of Amatahns. I am excited to embark on another adventure with this amazingly talented young author.

 

Janir and her mother were sent away from Adasha, but they never made it to their destination. Janir was saved by an elf and Amandius took her in. She is now a member of the Caersynn household, even though she is the daughter of the ruler of Argetallam.

The Argetallam are the Invincible. They feared and detested by all, because of their ruthlessness and powerful magic.

 

Lucan, Janir’s brother hated her. She is older, therefore would inherit the role of leader. He is mean, jealous, arrogant and self serving. I don’t think he would make a very good ruler. Lucan would do anything to find the Key and the Temple.

 

An unfortunate incident and she is on the run again, this time into the forest on her own. She meets up with Karile who appears to be a bumbling enchanter.

 

Saoven, an elf, is sent by Amandius to protect her and the three of them bond together to hunt for The Key To Amatahn.

 

The Key could lead to the world’s end if it were to fall into the wrong hands.

Once they have the Key, the pace picks up as they are chased through the woods, dodging evil and magic at every turn.

 

We have elves, wargs, mazag, dragons, enchanters… A cornucopia of magical creatures. And, of course, some mortals.

 

It took me a while to get into the swing of this fantasy adventure. As I figured out the different characters and the fantasy world Elisabeth Wheatley built. The characters became friends of mine and I cheered them on in their race to find the Key and the Temple it will unlock. I enjoyed the journey and would recommend The Key of Amatahn by Elisabeth Wheatley to all you fantasy lovers out there.

 

Janir, and Karile’s journey was a long, ugly, torturous one and it will not end here. The Key of Amatahn by Elisabeth Wheatley does not end with a cliffhanger, but leaves the story open for more fantasy adventure.

 

I received a copy of The Key of Amatahn by Elisbeth Wheatley in return for an honest and unbiased review.

MY REVIEW

..

I thought I had already reviewed this, but with her new release, Fanged Outcast, I realized I hadn’t. I am rectifying that situation right now. You are in for a treat today. I will be reviewing both books, Fanged Princess and Fanged Outcast.

 

OMG. I was completely engrossed in this fantastic fantasy tale of love, sacrifice, revenge and suspense!

 

The trio are on the run from her father and she will do whatever needs to be done to let them have a life together, the life she was deprived of. But they can’t do it alone. Who would help them? The cast of characters comes alive on the pages and Elisabeth creates some surprising alliances as they struggle to survive. At one point I am leaning forward in my chair as I breathlessly read the words flowing off the page. I think short stories must be some the hardest stories to tell. How do you pack so much into such a small package and keep the reader at your mercy. Elisabeth did that splendidly and I can’t wait to read more of Haddie’s story in the Fanged Outcast.

 

Haddie knew her father would not let the relationship continue. After all, he had ended the relationship she had with the human, Fletcher. She is an enforcer, A Kaiju, a vampire. She had never killed anyone to feed and because of her own experience never would.

 

Damian, her brother is in love with a human, Madelyn. His father will never allow this, so they are on the run.

 

Madelyn is the human girl Damian is in love with. Yeah, this might have been shades of Twilight, but it is so much more than that. My feelings about Madelyn grow and change as the story unfolds and her love and loyalty shine through.

 

Chase – Hmmm. What can I say, except I can hardly wait to get to know him better.

 

The three humans survey me with apprehension. A fanged princess in their midst.

I received Fanged Princess from the author in return for an honest review.

SYNOPSIS

 

How much would you sacrifice for a love that wasn’t yours?

 

Hadassah managed to befriend her kind’s worst enemies and save her brother and the human girl he loves from the Vampiric King—once. After a month spent in quiet hiding under the protection of the Huntsmen, a surprise attack from a band of Kaiju shatters their brief reprieve. Faced with new challenges and new threats, Hadassah and the others must once more fight for her brother and the girl who stole his heart. And this time, the Vampiric King isn’t the only one they need fear…

 

Action, suspense, humor, and romance collide in this anticipated sequel from teen author, Elisabeth Wheatley.

My Review of Fanged Outcast by Elisabeth Wheatley

.

The Fanged series starts out as a fantasy romance then turns into so much more, with political intrigue and the machinations of other races, with their own agendas, vying for their alliance. Fanged Outcast, a vampire novella, picks up where Fanged Princess leaves off and I am so happy I didn’t have to wait for the story to continue.  Damian and Madelyn are all Haddie has left and she will sacrifice everything for them. She struggles to come to terms with the acts necessary for them to be able to live without looking over their shoulders every day for the rest of their life. Chase and his family will have to face the Council and explain why they are working with vampires, putting themselves at risk to help the trio. Do they have an ulterior motive for doing so?  It’s a wonderful journey through Elisabeth’s fantasy world as the races adjust and adapt, changing from adversaries to allies, all with their own agendas. The sharp barbs slung from Haddie to Chase and hints of humor splashed throughout this novella has me chuckling and I am loving Haddie’s feistiness and determination to protect Damian and Madelyn. I love Bear. Who doesn’t love the faithful hound? A nice touch of the normal added to the otherwordly.

 

I am so impressed with the great writing of such a young author. It is obvious her passion for writing and her imagination will be taking me on many more journeys through her fantasy worlds with her marvelous characters and stories.

 

Drat. I knew this was coming. I ran out of pages. Book III is due out later this year. Please write faster Elisabeth!

 

This is the curse of the Outcast – always on guard, never knowing who might come after you next.

 

SUVs are not to be tackled.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 unicorns - I loved it!!!
**Gifted to me by the author for an honest review

Okay I was anxiously awaiting this book because I’m not very patient when waiting for sequels from books I love :) Elisabeth was a sweetheart and gave me an arc review copy, and I totally did the girly squeal :)

Wow, this book was action packed, and I loved every second of it except when it ended way too soon. Haddie is amazing with her courage & protectiveness. She will do anything to keep her brother and his love safe. She refuses to allow him to suffer the way she has. Will she figure out a way to keep them all safe from her father?? There were definitely some surprises along the way, but I’m not spoiling it for you (you have to read it to see what happens!!) I’ll just mention that now she has even more to worry about.

Elisabeth’s writing is beautiful and vivid. I have no trouble imagining what happens because of her writing style. It amazes me that someone so young has such a way with words. I teach high school, so it makes me admire her and her work all the more. I need to get her other series read, but I haven’t had the time yet due to other commitments (but they are already bought and ready to read)!

Thank you Elisabeth for sharing with me :) Now I hate to say, but hurry with book 3 because I really need to know what happens next (but no pressure)!!! ;)

The Chalice of Malvron (Argetallam Saga,... The Chalice of Malvron by Elisabeth Wheatley

3 stars

Waking up after what she believes to be an accident, Janir is confused when she has no memory of the past eight years. Family and the people close to her seem to have her best interests at heart and appear to be hoping her memory returns. After an attempt is made on her life, her father decides to take Janir away with him to keep her safe, but when she is told that all the information she has been given is lies she has to decide who to believe, and come to terms with the fact that maybe her family don’t want what’s best for her but what is best for them.

The Chalice of Malvron is book three in the Argetallam Saga and unfortunately I haven’t read the first two books in the series! This left me feeling as confused as Janir and just as unsure about who to believe, but I still found the story intriguing. I began not to trust Kenistrith right from the start, finding it a little odd that Janir was being kept apart from her brother, Lucan, was one thing that made me instantly suspicious. I thought much of the plot was predictable, as will many readers of the genre.

I found the writing sometimes annoying there were large sections that over used Janir’s name… Janir did this, Janir did that etc and it got to the point where I wanted to scream at the page for some variety. I felt it could have been tighter and condensed some, but it would still have had the same impact. For followers of the series this is an exciting instalment but I suggest those readers, who haven’t already, should pick up the previous two books first.
