Book Blurb:

Every harvest moon, the Witch Collector rides into our valley and leads one of us to the home of the immortal Frost King, to remain forever.

Today is that day—Collecting Day.

But he will not come for me. I, Raina Bloodgood, have lived in this village for twenty-four years, and for twenty-four years he has passed me by.

His mistake.

Raina Bloodgood has one desire: kill the Frost King and the Witch Collector who stole her sister. On Collecting Day, she means to exact murderous revenge, but a more sinister threat sets fire to her world. Rising from the ashes is the Collector, Alexus Thibault, the man she vowed to slay and the only person who can help save her sister.

Thrust into an age-old story of ice, fire, and ancient gods, Raina must abandon vengeance and aid the Witch Collector in saving the Frost King or let their empire—and her sister—fall into enemy hands. But the lines between good and evil blur, and Raina has more to lose than she imagined. What is she to do when the Witch Collector is no longer the villain who stole her sister, but the hero who’s stealing her heart?

The Witch Collector is book one in a thrilling romantic fantasy series, perfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Sarah J. Maas, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

My review 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I devoured this book.
You know when you read a book and it's timing is perfect? Well that's what happened with The Witch Collector. .

It held my attention from the very start, I mean how could it not. Our MC was born without the ability to speak, she is also a Witch. She sings her spells with sign language. That is brilliant. She has so much talent but believes she has none due to having no Witch markings. She has gotten overlooked by the Witch Collector each year on Collecting Day. This year she plans on being noticed, because this year she plans on kidnapping him and forcing him to take her to the Frost King. Murdering them both to get her sister who was taken 8 years prior. 

There is so much that happens in such a short time, we learn so much of the back story of how things in this world came about. It fascinating, the gods and the land wars. The death of gods and the wanting to bring them back. This book is just the beginning. I seriously can not wait for the second installment. I would be reading right now if I had my hands on it. In fact, I will purchasing this book to have in my collection because it was that good and I know I will want to reread it.
 
For a fantasy romance, there is more story then romance and how it blends together for me was chefs kiss. As you can see I loved the story, the magic system, the battles, the characters. This book deserves the 5 stars I gave it and I can not wait for August 9th to get my hands on a copy of book 2 City of Ruin.

After the loss of both my Step mom and only 4 weeks ago today my grandmother finding a book to keep hooked to the point I was with this one was very hard to do. For this I am so  grateful to the author, Charissa Weaks. Thank you

#bookreview Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier #booktour

  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Aliens

Skinned by Robin Wasserman

Skinned by Robin Wasserman My rating: 3 of 5 stars May contain spoilers, cursing and ranting. When something bad happens to you, like an accident as what happened in this book to our main. It doesn't always mean death. If your brain is still working you can be downloaded into a new body. Some people if they have enough credit can have one specialty made if there is enough time for it. But the thing is you are no longer human. You can't bleed, eat, breath. You can feel pain to a degree only with extreme actions. Hot and cold mean nothing. You can feel slightly but it's not the same. You don't need to bathe, brush your teeth or use the bathroom. You're a machine that looks human and mentally you still are the same person but it's never the same. It was going so strong, so good. But then things started to stand out. Little things that annoyed me. Nothing major just certain wordings for example "eating lunch" but how is she exactly doing this??
