Devi (views_she_writes) The Adventures of JoJo Smith The Adventures of JoJo Smith by Tony Leslie Duxbury

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Check out the complete review at
The Adventures of JoJo Smith


This is the story of a normal regular guy who gets transported to the medieval period due to an error by a Gandalf look alike. Now he cannot come back because the Gandalf guy knows only the summons spell and not the go-back spell.

Poor Jojo Smith is stuck in the medieval era and all he can do is try to adjust to the surrounding till Gandalf comes up with the go-back spell.

Lucille | 5 comments Bridles of Poseidon (The Last Emissary #1) by Bridges DelPonte Bridles of Poseidon

Hi. I've loved reading Greek and Roman mythology. It inspired my new novel, Bridles of Poseidon, the first installment in the Last Emissary series. It draws on myths about the sea and follows a global adventure to the sister cities of Atlantis to stop another Great Flood. The heroine, Aquan, is a a kick-ass mermaid who shape-shifts into real and mythical creatures to protect humans and her secret race at Rapture's End. Check it out!

Rae Else (raeelse) | 12 comments Hi everyone,

I'm looking for reviews for my Young Adult, Urban Fantasy novel, Descendants. (New to navigating the reviews section so hope it's okay to post here!) The book is the first one in The Arete Series. I’m self-publishing it next month on the 12th April. I’d be happy to send you a link to the ARC e-book (e-pub, mobi and pdf).

It’s inspired by Greek mythology, but instead of being about the descendants of gods, it’s about those cursed by the gods. Think Fallen meets Percy Jackson, (Heavier on intrigue and action than on the romance.) I’ve put a link below to the Goodreads listing so you can read the synopsis and see the cover.

Thanks for considering and hope to hear from you soon.

All the best,

Rae

Descendants
