Book Review: Far From Safe by Jillian Ashe

Amazon / Goodreads
Price: $4.99
Pages: 267
Blurb:

Katerina Anderson’s adventure continues as she and the crew of the Wolfegang are on their way to the planet Asgard...
I never really thought we would make it this far. Not only are we so close to completing our mission for the Norse king, but my brother is almost within my grasp. Kris and I will no longer be alone in the vast reaches of space.

The only problem is the Federation is catching up to me and the crew and we might not have the time we need to complete our mission. I just hope we make it to Asgard before the Federation.



Review:
We have come a long way with this series, the author and the characters have grown familiar. There is a lot of character development in this story, and we get so see a new side of these characters. This book if the fifth installment to the Wolfegang series. The further we get into this book, the more your questions are answered from the previous book.

But, in the end, we are left with more questions and the need to find out what is going on. I have to say this was the only book I cried over. They were both from being happy and sad. I have no clue what is going to happen next. Looks like we will all be waiting for the sixth book to come out.

I know this is a short review, but I don't want to give anything away. I will be reading and reviewing Wolfe's short story and I am not sure if I am looking forward to it. In the meantime, check out this series.

About the Author:


My readers are what's important to me. Yes, I write for myself and the enjoyment of it, but I adore when a reader actually has a great time reading a story I slaved over. I don't write any particular genre, but I do stick to kick-ass female characters. I love writing about all types of differently strong women. My debut series is Young Adult Science Fiction. The first novella is free to see if you enjoy what I write.

I'm very involved with my fandoms, and love all things geeky and nerdy. I love connecting with my readers, so if you'd like to contact me just head over to my website :)

Book Review: When Elements Collide by Jillian Ashe

Amazon / Goodreads
Price: $3.99 ~ KU Free
Pages: 315

Blurb:

 Some things that are lost aren't meant to be found…

We hope to find the coordinates to Asgard where I will find my brother, on a planet at the edge of space that has ties to the ancient Norse culture. Celeste, Ricky, Wolfe, and I have to overcome the native’s dislike for outsiders; their distrust and suspicion well-founded as they are one of the last societies free from the Federation.

To get these coordinates my crew and I have to brave the harsh environment of the Northern Continent which is covered in ice and snow year-round. The location of Asgard isn’t the only thing waiting for us in this icy wilderness. The locals speak of monsters that hide in the dark recesses of their land, guarding something no one is brave enough to find. Will we survive long enough to acquire what we came for?




Review:
Mythology a collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition. Or it can also mean the study of myths. The way I see it myths had to come from somewhere right? The theories that are in myths must be based on something someone once saw or heard. Same thing with all types of religion. What if the mythologies are really a part of history, not our history but the history of the planets outside our galaxy.

In this science fiction series, Jillian Ashe hints that the myths come from somewhere. The fourth installment moves from the science fiction we have been reading into mythology. To be more specific Norse mythology. (I know you are thinking of the Thor movie, now right?) This book is nothing like that movie, the author has her own twist to this story on how it all works. It might be hard to follow for those that know nothing about Norse mythology, but I believe that Ashe does a great job of describing the whole thing. So you know what is going on, but if you have more of an understanding of this mythology you will have no problem getting lost in this book. Just like I did.

This book had me biting my nails. It was full of action, plus we got to meet new characters (and I may be in love with one of them... Shh... It's a secret). Again I had no clue what was going to happen next, but the mix of science fiction and mythology genre's flowed together flawlessly. Frankly, I was impressed Jillian pulled it off, not many authors can mix genres together and have a really good book.

This series is the kind you would get hardbacks/paperbacks for your personal home library. I hope you guys are enjoying this series as much as I am. Btw, does anyone else think the cover to these books rock?

Book Review: Riding on Whispers by Jillian Ashe

Amazon/ Goodreads
Price: $2.99 ~ Free on KU
Pages: 297
Blurb:


Katerina's brother is keeping
secrets...


I used to be a normal college girl, but now I'm a fugitive running from the Galactic Federation as I desperately search for my twin brother, who is only spoken about in whispers by the ones who know him.

I finally have a location - Enzo - but it's a top secret, military base that performs genetic enhancements on soldiers. It's the last place I should go, but I don't have a choice if I want to find Kris. I'm afraid of what I'll learn.

Will I find the answers I'm looking for, or walk into a trap? 
Review:
How should I start this review?



Riding on Whispers is the third installment to the Wolfegang series. I have read and reviewed the first two books and I am back to talk about this one now. It turns out that finding her brother is going to be harder than we first expected. 


Kat starts to get a bit closer to the Wolfegang crew and I am not sure who I like more Wolfe or Ricky. Kris and Kat are not the only ones with secrets. They all have them, I am finding it extremely fun to find out what they are. I mean they have to spill the bean soon right? Lol


This book did have me laughing the entire time, (but keep in mind I have a weird humor) anyways. The thing I like the most about this book (and the others) is the action! I think that if I am going to leave the romance books, I would have to read the actions ones. The books that gets your heart racing, your blood pumping and has you sitting on the edge of your seat. Twist and turns kept me guessing in this book and I never knew what is going to happen next!



The fourth books is coming up next and I have to say that I am extremely excited to see where this author takes me next!
