My review is currently for Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis, the storyline is whimsical and strong throughout. We’re walking right alongside Nyssa (a Nymph) as she is on a mission to find out what happened to her mother after she was taken by a Dark Fae. I’m not sure whom I want to cheer for at this point just when I think I want it to be Slane, Raddick does something that make me pull towards him. Marro just vicious but I have a feeling something or someone has made him that way. We’re left with a cliffhanger having me dying to know what happens next. I can’t wait for the next story.

This anthology is filled with some wonderful stories about the creatures of the forest. I read Tainted Blood, which was an intriguing story about Nyssa, a nymph, and her family. It's filled with some good twists, and with a battle of good versus evil, and some enticing love interests that will keep you guessing. I am looking forward to more in this series.

Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis is an enchanting tale that takes the battle between good and evil to a whole new level. This story is filled with lies and betrayal and a dark twist that will leave you wanting to know more about Nyssa and magical world we've only had a glimpse of.

My review is on "Tainted Blood." What an intriguing story Nikki Landis has created with nymphs along with Light (the Seelies) and Dark (the Unseelies) Faeries. She's introduced us to Nyssa, the middle daughter of three in a family of nymphs and whose mother has been kidnapped by a Dark Fae. We also meet Slade who her oldest sister has had a crush on for years. Just like any culture, there are superstitions and stories of good and evil that all are raised with. Some even have evidence to back those up. We also meet Raddick, the Unseelie prince and Poe, the Seelie prince. We're given enough information and tidbits of attraction that make you wonder how this will play out. Will it be one or all three? There's also intrigue and mystery wove through the plot which kept the pages turning quickly. This was an incredible first book to what surely presents itself as an outstanding series.

Review for Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis
Tainted Blood is a wonderful start to a new series about Nymphs, Faeries, Seelies, Unseelies and other magical creatures. The story is intriguing and mysterious and the characters are well written and very likeable. There are a few times in the story that I got very frustrated with certain characters and wanted to slam my book down! This story is sure to be amazing when finished.
Writing is fantastic as usual. The story is very well written and the weaving of worlds is fantastic. Loved it and can’t wait for more.

Nyssa's mother has been taken by the dark Fae two years ago. Nyssa is a nymph, and has grown up with knowing that it was not safe to go into the darkness alone. When Slade declares his love for her and not her sister, and when the dark and light princes make their appearance in her life, she is not sure who to trust. What is the truth about her mother's disappearance? What other secrets are there that she needs to find out about? Loved it!

My review is for Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis, and as others have stated, the storyline is whimsical and strong throughout. As Nyssa is on a mission to find out what happened to her mother two years ago when she is captured by a Dark Fae, we too want and need to know. There is much going on in Nyssa's life and world, way more than even she is aware of, and as events unfold, her life will never be the same again.
This is part one of a three part story, and I cannot wait for the rest!

My review is for Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis. This story draws you in from the start. It is a strong, whimsical tale of Nyssa and how she wants to find out the truth as to what happened to her mother two years ago. She gets help from Slane and Raddick, who each have feelings for her. You can't help but wonder who will win out.
As this is part 1 of 3, you are left with a cliffhanger. Cannot wait to read the rest.

Forest of fear
Golden Wings
Untracable. Zero prospects. Wingless. Homeless. Alone. Words to describe Lina, or most any teen living on the streets in this strange ruined world that houses humans alongside fairies and vampires, werewolves and giants. Terrors haunt her night and then she meets a prince. Every girl dreams of it. But Lina fears, doubts, mistrusts this stranger.
This is a wonderful reimagining of the story of Thumbelina. The dystopian world created is haunting, its characters have twists so unlike the rather tame tale of a girl no bigger than a thumb. Just one of many remarkable tales within this forest of the fairy.
Tainted Blood
Fear the dark ones. A warning heeded too late by Nyssa, as she lost her mother to the Dark when she had been lured outside by the dancing will o' wisps. This tale focuses on the unSeelie Fae. Not aloof, but malicious and cruel. Will she ever see her mother again? What makes her blood tainted? What is the abomination no one will talk about.
Serenity's Light
The dark is swallowing the sun, moon and stars, the answer, a quest by a very odd group. A Viking from back in time, a human, a wood sprite, an eagle, and more set out to locate three ancient items, but agents of darkness led by an evil fae also seek them for power. An exciting adventure jumping back and forth in time and place. An out of this world adventure

Tainted Blood is part 1 of Nikki Landis new series Forest of the Fearless Fairy/Fae.This story is going to take us to a whole new world and into places we have not really completely traveled to and she did it with her amazing ability of storytelling that we have all come to love. I cannot wait for each new story to come out and come to life within our minds. It is a slow burn reverse harem story and this was an intro of into a great series coming.

This was a fun quick read. This is a great introduction to this new series. Nyssa wants to find out what happened to her mother. While she is out one day with her sisters she meets two very different Fae. She also has to contend with Slane. One fae wants her to find her mother the other we aren't sure of his motives yet. Slane is already in love with Nyssa but she doesn't see it yet. I will be real interested to see where this story goes. I love reading about supernatural beings.

This is for Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis
Nyssa Blossom is a nymph living under the rule of the Dark Fae, whom all are taught to fear. Two years ago one took her mother and when Nyssa hears they are back she is terrified. Then, in rapid succession, she meets a Light Fae prince, a Dark Fae prince who claims to know her mother’s whereabouts, and begins to see an old friend/enemy in a new way. Nyssa is a sympathetic and relatable protagonist and I adore Slane. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis was an intriguing story, and one that I hope will be developed into a full novel.
The story drew me in from the very beginning. I really like Nyssa. And I’m especially curious about nymphs in general. Nikki Landis has a talent for putting her own spin on things that make them familiar-feeling and yet uniquely her own. I’d love to see what she can do with nymphs as well as fae.

Tainted Blood: By Nikki Landis: In this book Nyssa is the middle daughter of nymphs whose mother was taken by the Dark Fae and now is determined to find out what happened to her mother. I have to say I loved Nyssa's name because I grew up in a small town named Nyssa. Tainted Blood by Nikki Landis is a fantastic intro to a new series and I can't wait to read the next book.

This is my review of Golden Wings by Laura Greenwood
A fairytale base with a supernatural twist. Lina is used to living on the streets. When returning to the spot she's been calling her own, she has a chance meeting with a faerie. This just the start to a series of life altering events. A quick enjoyable read. This is my voluntary review of an advanced copy I received.

I haven’t read the whole thing yet. But I reviewing wingless by Laura Greenwood. I love Lina. She’s feisty for someone who looks faerie but has no wings. Shifters, vamps and faeries galore. This story is nonstop twist and turns for our heroine Lina. Great read. Very engaging. Can’t wait to read the rest.

A wonderful and quick read. Nyssa is afraid of the dark fae since they captured her mother. This is the start of an adventure that Nyssa takes to find her mom. I really enjoyed it.
