REVIEW by LAWonder10:
      Hickory was grieving her recent loss, plus, new discovery, feeling despondent and was unsure of what to believe. She was being called to a new, urgent mission she was being forced into. Her, Jess and Gareth were the only ones who could do it... At the high risk of losing their lives. There was to be a fourth crew member whom Hickory's team felt was incredulous!
        After their last mission, Hickory  suffered greatly and felt unsure of her telepathic abilities.
        The fourth, team member was to be their, much needed, guide. However, Hickory felt he withheld needed information.
        Through their difficult journey, the need arose to add, yet, another team member. They were each having to learn to trust "the enemy". 
       In their, seemingly, doomed adventures, how many would survive? After returning home, what fate would follow?
         The characters in this story were very well developed and easily visualized. The scenes were also portrayed well.
          This can easily be read as a "stand alone" but would surely have greater impact if the previous books of the series were read.
           The Book Cover was colorful, intriguing and very eye-catching for the "browser". The Cover and Title were both "a good fit".
           The action and adventures steadily flowed. The only problems I had with this interesting tale, was There were a couple of times the scenes felt abruptly changed in a way that slightly lost momentum. Personally, aside from my rating, I found the strong questioning of a God slightly disturbing. However, I realize this is prevalent in today's society.
*I offer a Four Stars ratting.
  ** This book was gifted me with no requirement for a positive review. This is my honest review 

                 Excerpt from Fractured Prophecy, Chapter 7
      “It’s time.” The Bikashi shook Hickory’s shoulder. She rolled away, then sprang to her feet. Sikona pointed to the sea which had receded a quarter mile offshore.
   “We must follow the tide out.” Hickory nodded then woke Gareth and Jess. They packed their belongings, turned up the collars of their jackets, and ran to join the alien who was striding off into the distance. An icy wind blew at their backs, and their breath froze to their faces. They trudged across the seabed in single file with Sikona in the lead, followed by Hickory, Gareth and Jess bringing up the rear. They hadn’t gone far before Hickory felt a low-level tug on her empathic sense. Although she’d suppressed her higher empathic powers—those related to shared feelings, mind-to-mind communications, and influencing skills—Hickory could still sense if someone was evading the truth and she was still alert to premonitions of imminent danger. She shaded her eyes and gazed into the distance. There was movement, parallel to them but a long way off.
       She pointed. “Sikona, can you make that out?”
      Sikona squinted. “Something’s there, but it’s too far away for me to see clearly, a herd of ice-grazers, perhaps? They comb the glaciers extracting food particles trapped by the ice.”
     Jess reached into her backpack and extracted her spyglass. “It’s a herd of animals, alright.”
   “Let me look,” said Hickory. The distant figures became clearer through the glass. “These are bipeds, but not Bikashi.”
      She handed the spyglass to Sikona. “Are they the ones you call Lakedwellers?”
    Sikona stared through the telescope for a long time. Eventually, he handed it back to Jess. “No. These are the Scarg—mutant beings who evolved after the war, but mutations of what, I know not. In my village, Bikashi parents would frighten their children with tales of their savagery.”
      Hickory sensed dissemblance. Sikona knew more than he was telling her. No time to worry about it now. I’ll have to deal with it later.
      “They’ve changed direction. They’re coming this way,” said Jess.
     “I suggest we don’t wait for them, eh?” said Gareth.
     A grunt that passed for laughter came from their guide. “I’m afraid we don’t have a choice. See, they have split into two packs.”
     Half of the Scarg number continued to make a beeline for them, while the other half veered off with the clear intention of blocking any retreat.
     “We could still make it back before they cut us off from the mainland,” said Gareth, an edge to his voice.
    “To what point?” said Sikona. “In the end, we would be pressed against the cliff face, unable to escape."
      Hickory’s pulse raced. The main force was clearly visible in her spyglass. She could now see they looked nothing like Bikashi or Lakedwellers as described by Sikona. The Scarg creatures appeared similar in body shape to the great apes of Earth, although these were taller, stood more upright and were covered in short, thick, white body fur. Their chests were broad and muscular, and they ran across the beach on long legs. They were closer now, and Hickory refocused her spyglass on the creatures’ heads, angled forward on long necks. Their faces were round and full, with deep-blue, almond-shaped eyes under bushy brows. One creature pointed at her and screeched at its companions, its thick lips pared back revealing sharp canines. Intelligence plus savagery, she guessed, a dangerous combination.
     “Are they Bikashi mutations?” asked Jess, tugging the clothes out of her backpack until she found her revolver.
   “Whatever they are, they’re quick and organized, and I wouldn’t put money on them being vegetarian. We might have to swim for it,” said Hickory.
      Sikona’s scowl left no doubt what he thought of her suggestion. “We do not want to swim in these waters, Commander Lace. We would never reach the island.”
     He was pushing buttons on his data prism, shaking his head. “I do not have specifics, just notes and sketches from ancient seafarers. If we swim, we face death.”
​    “Then give me a better option.” Hickory felt the onset of panic. She didn’t like the vague threat implied by Sikona, but she didn’t want the Scarg catching up to them either.

Synopsis:
          When Alyx Eris convinced him to become a keeper of the watch, Chase Walker knew he gained the ability to traverse the twelve dimensions.

      He knew his status as a keeper was completely binding until his nineteenth birthday.
     Most importantly, he knew he’d be spending the year by Alyx’s side.
      What he didn’t know was that in this dimension resides a ruling mage that poses more of a threat than the hunters ever could.

        And he didn’t know that nothing—and no one—is what it seems in the mystical world of Dimension 8.

 -Long Excerpt:
    I leaned forward, trying to see who Viggo was talking to, but my balance shifted unexpectedly. As I sidestepped to avoid a fall, a branch cracked loudly beneath my feet. I quickly scooted behind a tree and held very still as Viggo called out in a threatening voice, “Show yourself.”
     I could take him if it came to it. I’d pinned him in five out of nine sparring matches that week. Or was it three? I couldn’t remember.
      “I know you’re behind that tree.” Leaves crunched as Viggo stormed closer.
​       I inched around the trunk as my training partner’s footsteps grew louder.
     “Last chance,” Viggo growled. He was unnervingly close. My eyes locked in on the thickest part of the tree line, and I rose onto the balls of my feet, preparing for escape.
     Before I could make my move, a thick hand whipped around the tree to clutch my neck. Viggo yanked me from my hiding spot, wrenching my body into view. He held his arm perpendicular to his six-plus-foot frame, so I dangled in his grasp. In his other hand, he gripped a thick dagger. Crêpes. My hands flew to Viggo’s wrist and I dug in my fingernails, intending to break his hold before my air supply ran out. But as I clawed against his grip our eyes locked, and Viggo opened his palm. I fell to the ground in a heap, then leapt to my feet, brushing broken branches off my pants as I stood.
       “You.” Viggo’s normally charming tone had an edge. “What did you hear?”
      “I heard enough.” I widened my stance in case I needed to deliver a roundhouse. Or worse.              “You broke into Alfheim? What are you doing here?”
        “You don’t know what you heard.” Viggo took a step to his right. I mirrored him.
       “Fine.” We continued our dance, two animals squaring off for a fight. “Then why don’t you tell me. Because it sounded an awful lot like you broke into the realm, and you're planning something dangerous.”
        "Is that so?" Amusement danced across Viggo’s eyes as anger percolated beneath my skin.  I took deep breaths until the emotion stilled.
        “What would you call what you’re doing?” I pressed.
        Viggo’s features hardened as he took another step. “How was your meeting with the queen? Lots to catch up on, I’m sure.”
        My eyes narrowed. “What do you care?”
       “I care when someone strips my realm of its freedoms. Not that you’d understand anything about that.”
     The anger bubbled again, fiercer. Hotter. “I’ll ask you one more time. What were you doing just now?”
      “If I thought you’d understand, I’d tell you.” Viggo’s hand flexed, and his dagger glinted under the filtered light of the forest. My hands balled into fists and I took a step forward. I didn’t have a weapon, but if that jerk thought he could silence me, he had another thing coming.
       Viggo stepped into my space, his chest inches from mine. I ignored the piney scent wafting off his training clothes and focused on perfecting my glare.
        “Go home, Glitre,” Viggo spoke softly into my ear. “Keep your perfekt little life in order.”
        Laughter tickled my throat. “Perfekt. Right.”
      Viggo leaned back just enough to meet my eyes. “Someone looked out for you from the minute you were born. From where I’m standing, that’s a pretty good deal.”
       “You don’t know the first thing about me.”
        Viggo shifted so our foreheads practically touched. Butterf
flies burst into flight in my stomach and at my shoulder blades. What the hell is wrong with me?
      “I know you’re the heir to the throne,” he growled. “I know you met with the queen. And I know you haven’t stepped up to challenge her. I can connect the dots as to which side you’re on.”
       A low whistle pierced the forest as I sucked air through my teeth. Viggo Sörensson had no freaking clue. “You know I’m going to tell Signy about this.”
       Viggo shrugged. “Go ahead. But for the record, I’m warning you to stay out of it. If anything happens, it’s on you.”
        “Noted.” I took another breath as Viggo leaned forward again. His shoulder brushed against mine as he walked by, and the nudging at my back became so adamant, I was positive something was about to crawl right out of my skin. But the jabbing ebbed as Viggo marched forward. He didn’t turn around until he reached the thicker tapestry of trees. Even at this distance, I caught the pop of his dimple. “See you around, Glitre.”
       Then he turned and disappeared into the forest, leaving me with a litany of questions.
What was Viggo Sorenssön up to?

It all begins when Septielle, a seven-armed octopod, has a vision of a world restored—a world she will not live to see. Inspired by her vision, a dolphin named Muriel shoulders her mission and enlists any humans who will listen—including Anadare, a young islander with an ax to grind against the oppressive ruling class of tourists turned bureaucrats. An invasion of cannibalistic pirates complicates things as they declare war on a world that rejects them.

SYNOPSIS:
    Sixteen-year-old Samuel, son of a devout cleric, has endured shame and prejudice his entire life. Though he is destined to follow in his father’s footsteps, he longs for an ordinary life in the whitelands away from talk of demons and holy roots.
         When the mayor claims to have captured a mute demon-girl, Samuel is forced to become her caretaker. But as Samuel gets to know the prisoner, he finds her not to be very demonlike. Instead, she is intelligent, meek, and an exceptional artist. Despite her seeming goodness, some more concerning things cannot be ignored. Samuel is hard-pressed to reconcile her uncanny strength and speed, one missing arm, ambiguous gender, and the mysterious scars covering most of her body.
        Samuel forms a deep attachment to the girl with predator eyes and violent outbursts, against his father’s advice. As their friendship threatens to become something more, Samuel discovers the mayor’s dark intentions. Now, he must decide whether to risk his own execution by setting her free, or watch as the girl is used as a pawn in a dangerous game of oppression, fear, and murder.

AUTHOR BIO:
Christina Bauer thinks that fantasy books are like bacon: they just make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots of humor and kick-ass chicks, too. 

Christina graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School with BA’s in English along with Television, Radio, and Film Production. She lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.
