She’d been eyeballs-deep in chronic violence since birth.

A Curse of Queens by Amanda Bouchet.

September 20, 2022 by Emmalita 1 Comment

Amanda Bouchet returns to the world of her Kingmaker Chronicles with a new book that focuses on Griffin’s younger sister, Jocasta, and his best friend, Flynn. Now that Cat and Griffin are installed as the Queen and King of a newly united Thalyria, they can no longer go adventuring. So when Cat is given the Elixir of Eternal Life (it’s a bad thing), they must remain at court, pretending everything is fine. Jocasta, an herbalist and healer, thinks she can find Circe’s island prison and […]

An epic romance sizzles during an Odyssey quest to save the realms

Breath of Fire (The Kingmaker Chronicles Book 2) by Amanda Bouchet

June 8, 2018 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Breath of Fire is the second book in Amanda Bouchet’s Kingmaker Chronicles series.This novel picks up moments after the end of book one with our heroine, Catalia Fisa, healing from deadly wounds. She has a knack for playing fast and loose with her life, much to the chagrin of her lover Griffin. Cat is the Kingmaker, she can detect lies from anyone. Possession of her is quite handy for anyone in power.  Cat’s mother, Alpha Fisa, would rather manipulate her powers to maintain her iron fist upon […]

Kicking ass and taking over the world

January 30, 2017 by Ellepkay Leave a Comment

This is Book 2 in the Kingmaker Chronicles series and you ABSOLUTELY MUST read them in order.  There is so much you will be missing if you don’t read A Promise of Fire first.  I’m going to try and review here without major spoilers for either book.  I really loved the first book, and enjoyed this one quite a bit, but definitely not as much. Book 2 picks up immediately from where the last one left off.  Cat and Griffin have made promises to each […]

Fantasy! Romance! Dragons!

January 11, 2017 by Ellepkay 4 Comments

4.5 Stars This book is SO good.  As I was reading it I had a lot to say about it, but now that I’m actually writing it up I’m struggling.  I will try to make this coherent. Disclaimer:  I am not a fantasy reader.  I’m not opposed to magic and other worlds in my books, but it’s not what I gravitate towards and not something I read regularly.  With that said,  if you read fantasy regularly maybe you won’t be as blown away by this […]
