The Demon's Nightmares
Prologue “There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. They were heart stones forged in the fires of Mt. Voldehr. Their scales from the iron smithed by the dwarves. Their teeth and claws with steel sharpened to fines point, deadlier than the blades of our Huntsman. Through the jealousy of his brother and greed for the thrown, a young Prince summoned an enchantress, and a spell was created, giving life to creatures filled with blood lust. Fighting between brothers, a King loved by many, a wise and caring soul with a powerful influence amongst his people. And a Prince bitter and hated with powerful war tactics and brawns of a bear with a craving for blood and violence. Within the year, war waged out amongst the kingdom. Factions formed to defend themselves, and clans went into hiding for fear the dragons would destroy pieces of ancient magic and documents during their rampage.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.
