Review: Paths of Destiny

Paths of Destiny Paths of Destiny by Cris Pasqueralle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The fight between good and evil continues in this 2nd installment of Cris Pasqueralle's called "Paths of Destiny" taking the 13 year old twins, Jack and Maddie even closer to danger and death.

Love these characters in the story, keeps you reading and wanting more. Lots of action, good pace. Have already started the last in the series.

Review: Destiny Revealed

Destiny Revealed Destiny Revealed by Cris Pasqueralle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like author Terry Brooks, Cris Pasqueralle brings to life a world of wizards, magic, gromes, and fairies where good and evil battle. One to gain control over all realms and destroy everything. The other to keep the balance between the world of magic and humans safe.

I started reading this first of a series book and couldn't put it down. Loaded with lively characters, lots of action and a out of this world plot, it's a great book for children and old and everyone between.
