This is another example of fantastic writing from Tahlia, the prose was spot on, crisp and taught where it needed to be, and soft and flowing as needed too. The characters were an interesting mix, starting with slightly quirkly Prunella (Ella) Smith, who Tahlia assures readers is not her (although b...
Demons grip is book #3 in Tahlia Newland's Diamond Peak series. It took me 12 days to finish this book. Some of that delay was craziness in my life, but most of the reason it took so long was because this book is a slow burn, peppered with small constant struggles, but no real 'climax'. Other review...
What I liked: This book really brought the stakes to the table and showed the characters who are vastly different from book one in many ways as they've climbed the mountain together. All the challenges presented that we are presented are handled in ways that I wasn't always expecting, especially wit...
What I liked: Ariel grows a lot in this book with how she has to learn about how she feels about Nick and both accept that she has feelings for him, and learn how to manage these feelings since they're new to her. We see her talk with Walnut and reading between the lines of their conversations as we...
What I liked: There were plenty of plot twist and turns in the book to keep the reader guessing.

I also enjoyed our new character, Twitch...
What I liked: I loved recognizing the allegories between what Ariel goes through and different religious elements that were presented, things I only recognized in the story because I had somewhat studied about the different religions in varying degrees of seriousness over the last few years, though ...

Bullying is a great concern for any parent who has a child in the school system whether it be at the ele...
Stalking Shadows is the second book in Tahlia Newland's Diamond Peak series.It picks up right after the ending of book one, so really should be read in order. Having said that, the book could still be enjoyed (if a little confusing in parts) even if you hadn't read the first.This one didn't seem as ...
Recommended for: School aged children, teachers of young children Read from February 09 to 11, 2013 — I own a copy, read count: 1 I tossed up between a 3 and 4 star rating for this one. I went with a 4 as you can see. The reason I wasn't sure was because I felt that the imagery and the fantasy as...
Lethal Inheritance is many things… It's the first novel in The Diamond Peak series. It’s exciting and uplifting, thrilling and thoroughly positive, and it shows huge challenges and how to overcome them. It made me giggly and silly and generally happy. But it’s also soul-crushingly dark and...
