Review: Pied and Prodigious

Posted by on Dec 11, 2012 in Blog, Review | 0 comments

I actually sat down and wrote down the books I've read for the self-published reading challenge to see what ones I still need to review.  In a shocking twist, I am well past my original goal of ten self-published books READ, but slightly behind on reviews... so I guess I will be working on that over the next two weeks!     Here is my review of Pied and Prodigious by D.M. Andrews, a self-published Austen parody.  This...

Really, really.  The previews looked ah-mah-zing. ...

Enchantment is a well written and unique YA paranormal romance.  It centers on sixteen year old Channie (Enchantment) who is part of a mage family.  When her dad ends up on the wrong side of a very powerful mage, Channie’s parents pack up the entire family and move to Colorado in an attempt to blend in with regular, non-magic people.  The problem, as Channie’s parents see it, is that her power name, “Enchantment,” makes her too...
