REVIEW

Asta and the Barbarians by Becca Fox

Chosen by the Masters #0

Gripping, gritty, grueling ~ grabbed me immediately and wouldn’t let me go ~ perfect for YA readers who like a darker story with a happy ending.

What I liked:

* Lady Asta: Mayor of Kenshore’s daughter, pampered, privileged, home invaded, family slaughtered, taken captive, tortured, educated, learns, makes friends with Viggo and Bryn, bodyguard, romance budding at end of the book

* Viggo: bright, brawny, intelligent, strong, lethal, highly trained, good friend, leader, best friend since childhood of Bryn, lost his father when young, has two sisters and a mother he cares for, attracted to Asta

* Bryn: desires to be a doctor, mother was a healer, father a warrior, caring, compassionate, strong, wise, focused on helping others, bright, honest, trustworthy, good friend and best friend of Viggo’s since childhood

* The idea of being chosen by Dotharr and how it played into this story’s characters

* The close friendship and alliance made between Asta, Viggo, and Bryn

* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing

* That I felt a part of the story

* Getting to know more of the background of Holger and the Holgarians and how this book fits in with the others in the series

* Finding out who the evil treacherous people were supporting the mastermind and hoping they would be taken out

* The part King Torvald played, who he married, and how he grew in his role as king as the story progressed

* Wondering if there will be a book that deals with the journey Asta, Viggo, Bryn, and King Torvald are set to make at the end of the book

* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about how evil more than one in the story was and wondering how people can be as these characters were.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author/in this series? Yes

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

On the day the Holgarians attack her town, Asta is blessed by a warrior god and is empowered with the heightened senses and unnatural healing abilities these foreign invaders possess. Grief-stricken and paralyzed by terror, she’s hauled onto the conquering general’s ship and taken across the sea. One year later, Asta graduates from warrior academy with honors and is chosen as one of the king’s personal Defenders. She will finally have the opportunity to kill the man who gave the general his orders and avenge her family. She doesn’t expect the king to be young or kind, or completely oblivious of what his men are doing overseas. He has been told peaceful negotiations are going well. But Asta knows better. Asta must find proof of the general’s treachery and bring it before the king so that she can save unconquered provinces from meeting the same fate as her hometown. But the king’s counselors suddenly start dying, and the king himself is hounded by foreign assassins. Revenge will have to wait if Asta’s going to keep the king, the mainland’s only hope, alive.

Chosen by the Masters

Summary: The Salem Seven have found Agatha. Leading you all to run for the next trial. Where messages from the past clear the mist just a bit while another darkening rises. [Witches road series]

Through many miles of tricks and trials, we'll wander high and low

A fox stood with its front paws on a log. Darting off behind a tree. A crow cawed loud, flapping its wings. The fox reappeared darting from one place to the other. Crossing a snake. Slithering through the leaves. Curling and spasming into a little ball. The snake enlarging as two arms slithered out of it’s skin. A snake shedding their skin. The crow came landing down to where the snake was, cawing loud .

The hand reached out to grip onto the crows neck. It screeched loud before its neck grew thicker. Feathers settling with skin. The snake that had shed it’s skin had fully turned to a human form. The crow’s legs stretching as feet appeared down below.

With a simple gesture they removed the hand from around their throat, taking a deep gasp. They shared a look before others came joining. Seven in total. Salem’s seven. Their demands carried off by the wind. Howling like a banshee’s cry into the night. Agatha Harkness.

Agatha Harkness. Teen shot up with shock as the gush of wind had overwhelmed his senses. Frantically he looked to his side, seeing you already sat up. Listening to the winds whispers as well. A glance in return from you, made him fear the worst. Agatha Harkness. The wind whispered making the others shoot awake. – “What’s that?” – Jen asked. Lilia shuddered out a breath. – “The Salem seven.” – she replied keeping a hand on her chest.

“Long black coated figures?” – Teen asked to specify. Lilia nodded. Agatha chuckled a bit nervously at their arrival. – “We didn’t close the door. We’ve brought them here.” – Lilia explained. Agatha Harkness. Sending chills down your spine. – “We’ve got to run!” – Agatha shouted already taking her leave. All of you started to run after her.

Following the path with the hunt going on. Through a narrower path came Agatha to a stop. Panic written all over her face as she heard them in front of her. – “That came from in front of us.” – Alice said. Lilia and Jen had already turned to run the other direction when it appeared their presence alerted them too.

“They are at the back too.” – Alice pitched in. Feeling them close in. Salem seven all around you. Salem’s seven on the witches road. They were there when the door opened and they’d be here when you’d die. – “How do we get out of here?” – Teen asked. You looked up sensing them in the winds.

Knowing they’ve come to claim your souls. Knowing you’d be dead before you’d reach the end if you staid. You pushed Jen a bit aside to reach the other side. Pulling at the thick roots. – “We go old style.” – you said. – “No!” – Lilia immediately protested. Teen curled up a smile, finding it exciting.

“What do you have against brooms?” – he asked ripping off a root as well to claim as a broom for Agatha. – “They are culturally forced upon us. Reflecting domestics on us.” – Lilia responded. – “And they are simple.” – Jen finished taking her broom.

Agatha eyed you making you face her. Holding your broom out, you and her started to circle each other. Speaking in tongue to finish the ritual. Then you handed each other’s broom out for the other. Agatha taking yours as her fingers brushed against yours. Making her flash her gaze teasingly at you.

You took her broom over, staring at the root. Hearing the faint of your own past screams in your ears. Agatha who already sat on her broom, shouted at you. – “Y/n! On!” – You snapped awake, getting on your broom. Holding tight to the root, you flew up. Letting the wind carry you. It felt like eternity since you had flown and it felt liberating.

The entire coven flying after each other. – “Salem Seven!” – you shouted loud to alarm them that they were coming from down below. – “Higher!” – Agatha yelled back, leading her broom up. Everyone followed. Higher and higher you went.

A blood moon rising from over the tree tops. The witches road down below. High and high you went. Up to the top. Better look below. The road increasingly coming closer. Tumbling and soaring in the air. The road pulling you down once more. There was no escaping the path. Chained and shackled to the road. Down, down the brooms went. Spinning and tumbling in a flash to reach the grounds fast.

Feet touching the ground, you stumbled forwards. Broom behind as you tumbled further till you bumped against a fallen Teen. Both looked briefly at each other before helping him up. As a cry for help, the next trial. Never had you all ran so invitingly over to it. Embracing it and nestle in it’s warmth for protection. With a glance at the door, you got shoved inside. A change of wardrobe to fit a slumber party at summer camp.

“Who’s trial is this?” – Teen questioned. Always coming up with the right questions. – “Agatha’s.” – you responded looking her way. Agatha looked uncomfortably back at you. – “Who says that?” – she responded, masking her fears with loud cackling. Tilting your head, you knew just how much of that was a lie. Swallowing nervously, she distanced herself from the coven.

The others set out to find the first instructions. You kept your gaze on Agatha, seeing how nervous she was. Agatha seemed to have picked up your glance. Clearing her throat before looking away. Knowing there was little she could hide from you. Teen pulled out an Ouija board. Setting off a timer on your watches. 30 minutes. 30 minutes was all you had. He read the rules as all of you came closer.

Tick tick tock, the time was ticking. You came sitting down with them, moving your fingers over the pedal. As Agatha was initiating the session, you weren’t sure what devils game she was playing. Mrs. Hart name got spelled out. Lilia’s hand got pulled back out of shock. Agatha moved back, changing her expression.

Taken over by Mrs. Hart… or so it seemed. Quirking your eyebrow up, you felt a sense of devilish game. This was no way near funny. Teen called her out on it as everything went serious once more. This time you felt for real. A shift in the atmosphere. A presence nearing down to join the living. Called back from behind the veil of lingering death to have one last chance to speak.

Hands moving as the pedal moved over the board. Spelling letter after letting as it all became clear. Agatha calling it to stop as it was spelling her name. You glanced her way, keeping an eye on her. – “What do you want with me?” – Agatha asked. The pedal moving once more over the board. P-U-N-I-S-H. Agatha gasped loud, letting go of the board.

“She let go!” – Jen called out. After the words had been called out, changed it the night. – “We must punish Agatha!” – Jen shouted. Agatha crawled back, waving her hand beggingly to not. The others closing in on her.

Lights flickered drawing thy attention away. Agatha gone as it made everyone freak out. – “Agatha?” – Teen called out, flashing his flashlight around. His light went up, lighting up a figure. It made him scream at Agatha’s face. Agatha dropped to the ground. Skin as grey as dried out parchment. – “Agatha stop playing around.” – Jen called out. Agatha’s body twisting and breaking as she crawled backwards over the floor. Straight over to you.

You immediately jumped out of the way. Her face looked up to you, hissing loud at you. Your familiar jumped in front of you, hissing right back at her. Scratching her once across the cheek. Lights flickered hauntingly. Agatha’s figure gone once more. Alice helped you back up by your arm, asking if you were okay. You nodded, joining the others as Agatha stood up stairs.

Her body twitching and spasming as the grey drew away out of her face. She shuddered the feeling off. Mist oozing down the steps till it rose. Rose till it formed out a shape. A spirit. A ghost. You immediately knew who it was before she needed to say her name. Agatha’s mother. Her gaze went over you all till her eyes rested on you. – “You.” – she said with a point. It made everyone look at you. Agatha’s eyes curious with worry.

“You are not supposed to be here.” – she said with a stern glare. Taking a deep breath, you tried to deafen out your past screams. To blink away the scenery of the women. Roots snapping around you. Crawling all the way. – “Mother?” – Agatha spoke confused looking between her and you. Sensing something was off. – “Did… did you?” – Agatha asked for her plea was not heard. – “Go forwards and leave Agatha with me.” – Evanora proclaimed.

“Gladly.” – Jen was the first to speak. – “You can’t leave her here. Not with her mother!” – you made clear with a glare at Jen. Knowing just how awful this woman was. Agatha came rushing down the stairs. – “Please don’t leave me here. I can be good.” – she cried out. Holding her arm out for someone to take it. – “Please I beg you take me with you.” – Agatha was desperate.

Her gaze shifting towards you. – “Y/n…” – she said hand out to you. You rose your hand to take hers. Just before your fingers touched her mother took over once more. – “No!” – Alice called out, shoving you out of the way. Hands out she channelled an orange energy. Hitting Agatha in the chest. Evanora drawn out. Spirit separating from the living.

Agatha felt the power. Moving her hands out the orange swirled with her purple. Spreading out to sniff out the orange. – “No! Agatha stop!” – Teen shouted, seeing what it was doing. It was draining Alice’s powers from her.

Agatha kept drawing her magic. Claiming it as hers. Teen rushed to Alice to pull her away. You joined him, pulling her down. Magic stopped. Alice fell down with  a thud. Sucked dry. In shock you stared down at her. – “She was trying to save her! And you killed her!” – Teen shouted at Agatha. – “I… I didn’t know… I couldn’t stop it…” – Agatha replied shakingly.

“Yes you could!” – Teen responded angrily. He knelt down to Alice. You looked at Agatha with disappointment and fear in your eyes. After all those years, she hadn’t changed. She slipped out. Teen got up, going after her. You still knelt beside her. Letting your fingers brush over her face down to her chest. Eyes closed to sense any life on her. Asking the elements for any sign.

“Agatha!” – Teen shouted loud. Agatha came to a stop. – “So that’s what it means to be a witch? Killing people to serve your own agenda.” – Teen asked. She licked her lips brief, turning her chin up. – “No not for me.” – he finished as Agatha came closer. Smiling wickedly at him.

“You are so just like your mother.” – she teased flicking her finger off his chin. Teen pulled disgusted away from her. Lilia and Jen moving behind him. Agatha turning round to take her leave. Lilia and Jen hurrying after her to not let her leave. Teen’s jaw tensed. Fingers tingling with energy. Lilia and Jen grabbed Agatha by her arms. She needed to be punished for ending Alice.

Teen clenched his expression. Blue energy forming through his fingers like hoops. With a loud cry, he blasted Agatha back. Sending her to a puddle of mud. – “No… no wait.” – Agatha called out. Splashing and crawling her way out. The puddle swallowing her whole. Teen then charged his anger towards Lilia and Jen. Swallowed by the puddle of mud.

Teen curled up a tiny smile. His appearance slightly changed. They should see you in a crown.

REVIEW

Aurora and the Divine Elevation by Becca Fox

Chosen by the Masters #4

The Holgarians continue their quest to conquer others to provide what their people need, and in the process cause much pain and suffering for those in the lands they occupy. This time the people of Vronox are under the thumb of the Holgarians and their priestess is trying to walk a fine line to keep family and countrymen safe while meeting the demands of the occupying forces.

What I liked:

* The prologue that hints that the Holgarians might be moving toward a change at some point in the series – still have not read Asta’s story but have a feeling it would be helpful as she shows up at some point in most of the books so far

* Aurora: Priestess of Tikal, helps plants grow, earth’s champion, assists laborers, sister, daughter, magical powers, virgin, caring, loves her family, has a secret correspondent that gives her strength

* Fritz: signature on notes Aurora receives that give her strength – she has a bit of a crush on her secret admirer

* Curran: Holgarian, battle scarred, strong, lethal, saved from possible death by Aurora, stays close to her, has a secret, saves Aurora

* The love Aurora’s parents had for one another

* Romina: Aurora’s attendant, supportive, caring, kind, protective

* The singing and what it can accomplish

* The mythical portions of the story that give character, history, and a belief system to the series

* The surprises, twists, and turns

* Wondering what will happen next

What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about how occupation warps not only the occupied but also the occupier and the evil that often occurs

* Sometimes wanting a bit more information about the situation and the characters

Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB

As the Priestess of Tikal, God of the Harvest, Aurora is gifted with the ability to make crops grow at a supernatural speed. It's because of this gift that her city is known for their produce. Unfortunately, that is also the reason why her city was conquered.

Six years have passed since the Holgarians killed Aurora's father, imprisoned her mother, and forced her older sister to work in the fields. During that time, Aurora has kept herself and her remaining family relatively safe by using her ability for the benefit of their invaders. She has played her roles the serene and encouraging priestess in front of her people, and the powerful but untouchable vessel in front of the Holgarians. It's only thanks to her faith and secret correspondent that she's managed to stay strong in the face of such adversity.

A prank ends with Aurora locked in a room with a Holgarian soldier, and she quickly realizes that they're not all monsters. The unexplained deaths of several Holgarian leaders weakens their hold over the city, and it seems like the time to revolt has finally come. But can Aurora save her people without the shedding of innocent blood?

•vampires and werewolves•

Hunter x Fem!Reader

[warning: tooth aching fluff: twilight headcannon]

[Y/n]’s eyes were glued to the teen romance drama, in her hand. She hadn’t been able to put the book down in days ever since she picked it up. The story seemed far too intriguing for her to pass it up.

Her eyes were so glued to the book in fact, that she wasn’t listening to her friends talking about trying to find a way back. Her eyes glued onto the page she was reading.

“Y/n?”

“Y/n?”

“Y/n?!”

“vampires have sparkly skin!” she shouted, as if being snapped back too reality. Her chair tilted back causing her to fall backwards. The book falling out of her hands and landing on her face.

Amity sighed, “Are you even paying attention?” She asked, looking at her and [Y/n] who chuckled nervously scratching the back of her neck. “You’ve been reading this book all week,” She said, and [Y/n] stood up and fixed the chair to sit up right.

“Because it’s so good!” [Y/n] said, holding up the book revealing the campy cover. Of a girl with a shirtless vampire and a shirtless werewolf beside her.

“A book about a love triangle between a vampire and a werewolf, fighting over the same girl named Becca.” She says, giddily holding the book.

Amity looks at her arms across her chest and [Y/n] takes the hint, she knew getting home was important to everyone. she didn’t know how to handle with the guilt of leaving everyone she knew and loved behind, and so used this book in her hands as an escape from the guilt.

She frowned, closing the book and sitting down in her chair. Her palisman, a fox, jumped onto her shoulder and nuzzled its head into the crook of her neck. She smiled, raising her finger to gently pet him.

and listened to whatever her friends were saying, about trying to try and find a way back to the demon realm to save everybody.

[ two hours later ]

[Y/n] laid on her stomach in the front yard, reading the book. She was completely enamored with the book and the love triangle in it despite the fact both guys were absolute creeps.

She secretly shipped the two guys together and her headcannon, was that Becca would confess her love for the vampire. him reject her and confess his love for the werewolf they’d then confess their undying love together and run off into the sunset. Like in some of the telenovela, Camila watches.

“She really needs to get a lock on her window,” She mumbled, reading about how Edward had appeared in Becca’s bedroom through the window for like what the hundredth or she lost count.

“Um, hey Y/n.” A voice said, and she looked up and realized it was, Hunter. Her eyes widened, and cheeks turned red slightly and she immediately looked back down at her book.

“A-ah, um hey Hunter,” she stammered slightly, hoping he’d eventually go away her heart was racing pounding against her chest. She said, turning to the next page of the book.

He noticed, how close she was to the last page of the book. “Almost done already?” He asked, and she continued reading and turned towards the next page.

“Yep, it’s pretty good.” She said, smiling, her eyes fixated on the book. A nervous smile on her face.

‘Please don’t sit down please don’t sit down!’

Her mind said over and over, and Hunter sat down right next to her, and her heart started pounding even faster against her chest.

“Luz, told me that they made movies based off the books?” He said, and her eyes lit up lifting her head from the book. She got onto her knees and shuffled towards him, and didn’t realize she grabbed onto his hand.

“How many did they make?! Did she say if they were any good? Does the vampire and the werewolf run off together like they do in my headcannon?!” She asked, both her and Hunter’s face were beet red realizing how close they were to each other.

she looked down nervously realizing that she was holding his hand. she immediately let go and turned away embarrassed, “sorry,” she mumbled.

“Ah, seeing that your almost done with the book.” He said, scratching the back of his neck. “Luz, actually is planning a movie night and we’re watching the first Sunlight movie.” He said, and she looked towards him.

She smiled excitedly and then immediately hid it behind the book, covering her face. “Ah, yeah I’ll totally be there, the wolf and vampire better run off together.” She said, and Hunter chuckled softly and her cheeks turned beet red.

[ after the movie ]

“What?!” [Y/n] howled, looking down defeated looking at the dvd of the movie. She turned her head toward Luz tears of sadness rolling down her cheeks, “So the vampire and werewolf don’t run off together?” She asked, and Luz shook her head.

“No!!! Edward and Jacob belong together!” She frowned, Luz then walked over to her, “But who knows maybe they will.” Luz said, sending her a wink and her eyes immediately lit and she picked up the second book, titled, Red Moon.

Throughout the months, that they were stuck in the human realm. [Y/n] finished each book. Until, she reached the final book and once she was done she let out a triumphant yell.

Her headcannon had come true, after all. Edward and Jacob, ran off together after all. The little squeal she let out made, Hunter’s heart skipped a beat she was so cute. Dancing on her tippy toes as she giddily jumped around his cheeks immediately turned red.

Camila, had showed Hunter how to work the sewing machine in the basement. He made himself a shirt with werewolves on it. Once he looked at his finished work, he decided he wanted to make one for Y/n, based off of Sunlight series. So he sewed pictures of the werewolf and vampire onto a new shirt.

The finished work wasn’t perfect but it was something, [Y/n] liked and hoped she’d appreciate it.

[Y/N] cheeks turned red seeing, Hunter holding a shirt he made for her. Her eyes widened seeing the vampire looking guy and the werewolf on the shirt. Her heart immediately skipped a beat, pursing her lips she gripped onto the door.

Her heart was pounding against her chest, and for a moment she thought it was going to jump out. “I-I ah it’s I ah don’t want it!” She shouted, denying her feelings for him and immediately closing the door.

Hunter frowned, standing outside the door. all that work for nothing she didn’t want the shirt. all that sewing for nothing, at least he got a cool shirt out of it. just as he was about to turn away and leave.

“It’s lovely, thank you.” She said, quickly snatching the shirt out of his hands and closing the door. Her heart once again pounding against her chest. Her back against the door as she tried to slow down her breathing.

Her entire face bright red as she held onto the shirt. Looking down at it her seeing the exposed stitching, and as well the messy work. Yet, it was still beautiful he put in all that work just to make her a shirt based off of something that she loved. she wrapped her arms around the shirt hugging it happily, she’d cherish it for the rest of her life.

she couldn’t believe what she was about to do. she opened the door once again, Hunter still standing there not even a second had passed. She pursed her lips taking in a deep breath, and quickly kissed him on the lips before pulling back and closing the door.

Her back once again pressed against the door, her mind racing not believing what she’d just did. Her heart pounding against her chest as if she’s just run a marathon.

Hunter stood outside frozen in place, slowly his cheeks as well tips of his ears turned bright red. a small smile appeared on his lips, and he fell backwards falling onto the ground having fainted.

The GLEE Cast and Creative Team Reunite to Support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes: ‘We’re At a Turning Point in Our Industry’

The GLEE cast and creative team reunited on Wednesday, August 23 to show their support for the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. And while a number of the key players have regularly picketing, the official reunion stemmed from an unexpected source: Aspiring actress Aly Fabrizio.

—

After filling out a form to host a themed WGA picket at Warner Bros, the ball started rolling. The day included multiple food trucks (including one sponsored by GLEE vet Jane Lynch), as well as show-appropriate grilled cheese, slushies, and cupcakes made by Fabrizio. “My heart’s still racing a little bit,” Fabrizio says. “Seeing them all back together makes me want to cry, in a good way. Knowing I organized it makes me really happy.”

Former GLEE star Darren Criss was picketing at the WB lot earlier in the week when “somebody, in passing, mentioned to me that there was going to be a GLEE day,” he shares. “And so I said, ‘F— yeah, I’ll be there. Wouldn’t miss it.’”

Criss joined co-creator Brad Falchuk, as well as a gaggle of stars including Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris, Iqbal Theba, Max Adler, Becca Tobin, Jacob Artist, Dot-Marie Jones, Vanessa Lengies, Patrick Gallagher, and Josh Sussman on the picket line, snapping selfies with each other and fans, and having some fun with the GLEE-themed picket line karaoke. (Gallagher sang “Sweet Caroline,” tweaking the words to reflect the ongoing strike—and joking there’s a reason he didn’t sing on the Fox series.)

—

“There is an unfortunate disparity in wealth that needs to be sorted for future generations,” adds Criss. “We’re not just looking out for us, we’re looking out for the ones that come after us and our families. And [we’re fighting for] the people before us who wished they could have organized and galvanized each other, to put systems in place to protect the work.”

—

“For the writers’ strike in 2007…we didn’t have social media, and there was this sort of this, ‘Oh, it’s happening over there’-ness to it,” Criss adds. “What is convenient about this go-round with the strike is that it’s very public and in the faces of—and hands of—people who aren’t part of the union, who are on the outside looking in, and understanding the inner wiring of it a lot better.” 

“So I would encourage anybody who is a fan of this show to show their support on social media, perhaps to educate themselves on what this is and what labor disputes are, in general,” he continues. “This is a labor dispute, much like any union going on strike. It’s a very measured course of action to accomplish a goal. And I think educating yourself to understand what we’re trying to do here, especially if you’re a young fan, so that moving on in any business, whether it be the entertainment business, whether you’re an actual writer or even a producer in the future, you’re understanding what the grievances are.”
