That was a rare occurrence. Usually I have to make myself finish a book on kindle outside a Dr's waiting room. This one was an engrossing read. Also confess that I paid real money for book 4 before coming here to declare "I finished it!" with books 1-3, because gosh darn it, I want to know what happens next. Also, it's pretty much a cliff hanger ending, with the MCs going off on an unauthorized adventure, and a couple of their party going back to report, so yeah; there's a pressing need to read book 4.

 

I'm not sure what you would call it - there is romance here and there, but the main focus seems to be the fantasy itself, with the romance as a reason to redeem or accept an otherwise unacceptable character.

 

In any case, book 1 opens with our main H - a pilot - getting sent off to the fantasy equivalent of Siberia as punishment. In the meantime, our main h is about to wake up from a 3 centuries long nap. She, with the aid of her sentient sword, have great fun hiding in plain site.

 

Book 2 opens with one of the pilots who serve under the H in book 1 being tossed in the enemy's prison, and finding herself sharing a cell with a pirate of sorts who is more a scientist than a bad guy. Much adventuring is had

 

Book 3 has our previous couples, along with a few others, going off on a mission into enemy territory...and also to rescue a girl.

 

This isn't a really...deep...series. OTOH, it is entertaining, and sometimes that's what one is looking for. And I'm good with that.

The importance of family, the endurance of faith and the ability to hope means nothing without having the courage to love. Hard to believe that a simply four letter word can have a powerful impact on the way people live their lives. Ms. Storm uses her writing to communicate to the heart and her versatility is abundantly clear in the characters she chooses to create.


Somebody Like You delivers a smart diatribe of dialogue and that emotional connection that Ms. Storm's characters are known for, to create a tale that is to die for. Every story is a new beginning and beautiful present to the world of literature.


The most beautiful love letter ever is found within the pages of What Makes You Beautiful. Melissa Storm writes stories in the same way she expects people to receive them. With an open heart, an open mind and a healing spirit.

An awesome collection! Student's love Pete the Cat!!  This is a great book to teach kids colors.  The rhythm of the story keeps the student engaged while teaching students not to get upset with the little things. Very much "look at the bright side" story.  The predictable patter of the book helps students read along.   My son loves this book! He sings it all the time. 

The Splat the Cat collection is wonderful! Students will fall in love with the character and will stay engaged.  This book could be read before a field trip to discuss appropriate field trip behaviors or even a discussion about needing to impress others.  Overall, this book is perfect for kindergarten and even first grade.  The words a simple and the story is predictable.
