I enjoyed this easy-going romantic book. Most of the characters really do try to live their lives the way God wishes them to, however, being human like all of the rest of us, they make mistakes anyway.
This is a clean, healthy book that has taught me just a bit more about waiting on God; things don’t go as well when we try to rush through problems or activities in life. God’s timing, and learning how to live with it, trusting Him, is the main message I received from this story.

Read this book and grow in the process!

This book was fantastic. I read her first dragon series (The Dragonkeeper Chronicles) several years ago--which simply made me hungry for more! I was thrilled to find that she has begun another series, related to the first one. This is third third book of her new series. So I wouldn't become confused, I bought copies of "The Vanishing Sculptor" (Renamed "Dragons of Chiril"), and "Dragons of the Valley", the first two books in this new series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them both.

"Dragons of the Watch" is fascinating. Most of it takes place in an ancient city sealed by something akin to an invisible bottle. People can enter, but cannot exit. Ellie and her beloved goat, Tak, unfortunately get lost and end up inside this bewitched city together. Bealomondore, a young servant of the Creator, also ends up trapped in the city. We find out eventually that "maybe" them being trapped together was by purposeful design instead of unwanted happenstance.

The main message I came away with after reading this book is that many times in life, when something happens that we feel is either bad news or just something terrible occurring, it may really be a "blessing in disguise". God can take the absolute worst happenings and turn them around to make incredible good come about because of the unhappy occurrences.

I will never look at a tree the same way again! A delicious book!

This book is actually a sequel to the book "Gossamer Sphere" by the same author. I discovered this because, even though this book is a complete stand-alone story in itself, there were many references to previous happenings, which were intriguing, to say the least. Therefore, after finishing "Anyone", I purchased and read "Gossamer Sphere". I am telling you this now so you may have the option to read them in order for better continuity flow.

Now...on with the story. Titania is an unattractive 15-year old girl living with her mother an LPN nurse. The earth has just been through a major cataclysm involving earthquakes, increased volcanic activity, tsunamis, and a reversal of the magnetic poles. Many of the citizens in the western and southeastern United States have had to relocate to different places because of such massive damage; Titania and her mother flee from the Pacific Northwest to live with a family member in Pennsylvania. This is were much of the action takes place. She discovers, after a stressful first day in a new high school, that she is either losing her mind, or she can shape-shift!

In sharing with her mother some of the new stresses in her life, she discovers that her absent father had actually been a member of the Fae, and was a full-blooded shape-shifter himself. Her mother had been wondering if Titania would ever develop any gifts relating to her father's heritage. We soon find out that something had happened to her on a short, quick trip to England they had show more made while moving from Washington to Pennsylvania (what a side trip!). This incident is determined to be the catalyst that awoke Titania's unusual abilities. We also find out, through more mention of things that happened before this book's beginning, that she and her mother actually played a part in saving the world!

I recommend this book to anyone who likes science, fiction and fantasy; they are all in this book! But I recommend you read "Gossamer Sphere" first. show less

Enjoyed Very Much-
One unusual thing I will say at the outset. Who's side am I "supposed" to be on? Who is the protagonist, who is the antagonist? Most books make it clear at the beginning who you, the reader, should be rooting for. Not this one! Mr. Kaeden spent an equal amount of time developing both "sides" of the story. My "cheering" continually flipped from one set of characters to the other...I finally found myself rooting both sides on! I was sad when the book ended...I want more...more!!! I like stories with kings and kingdoms, magic, sword fights, people who grow through battling moral dilemmas and come out better than when they went in, mysteries, quests, etc. This book has it all! Give it a try!
I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Architect by trade, called by God to be a pastor. Used the tools of his trade to draw very detailed charts. The charts and text in combination enhance understanding of more difficult biblical concepts of prophecy.

I recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two in the series. It is a story that can stand alone as well, although to get the most out of the tale, you really should read "Key To the stars" and "Alliance of Serpents", volumes I and II of The Fourth Dimension.
One thing I especially loved about this particular installment in the series is the way that Kitreena ans Arus continue to develop their own particular talents, learning how to use their gifts to serve the greater good.
After you finish this book, you will be a bit sad because you will want more. At this time, September 2011, there isn't any more of The Fourth Dimensions stories to read.

In this futuristic Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel, the main characters that were written about in the first volume of the Fourth Dimension series, "Key To the Stars", continue to grow and change. Arus, Kitreena and Vultrel, three teenagers, learned more each day about themselves and their commitments, duties, abilities and each other. They all had many opportunities to choose which way they would turn and which side they would support. They handled incredibly difficult events sometimes well, and sometimes poorly. Each person's character grew more with each trial that came. They were, at times, going in seemingly opposing directions. I grew very concerned for Vultrel; he seemed to let his feelings control his actions, as we all do from time to time.
The teens are learning, for the most part, to decide in advance how they will react to situations when they come, to weigh the good and bad, and to consider the possible consequences of each action. The test comes to them all, more than once: do they follow through when the time actually comes to act? Do they make the best choices? Come and find out; after this book (volume II) there is another (Volume III, "Eye of the Tornado"!!

This was a most enjoyable book. Moral, but not preachy. Exciting, innovative, intriguing, but mostly, realistic in the way that events may have happened. The book is set many millennia in the future. I came to care very much what happened to these people. Most of them are humans, but there were a lot of other sentient beings, as well. They weren't silly. The way they were written, they seem almost viable!!
In addition, the book is clean. I mean that the language is suitable for children...but it is not a childish story. Far from it; it makes one think about how to live one's life to its full potential. I appreciate an author who goes the extra mile to exclude profanity from his/her writing. Believe me, a lot of times a cuss word will come to mind much quicker than a more precise, appropriate and descriptive word will.
When finished reading this work, I immediately moved my attentions from my beloved Kindle to my laptop so I could see if there was more from this author. There was! I purchased parts two and three, entitled "Alliance of Serpents" and "Eye of the Tornado".
I have since read both of those books. I was disappointed to find that the story is not yet concluded; I was also thrilled to learn that the story is not concluded...because I will get to read more about Arus, Kitreena, Damien, Kindle, Muert, and many others.
I emailed Mr. Domenic, telling him how much I enjoyed the Fourth Dimension series, and asked him if there would be more in the future. He said, "I'm show more glad you enjoyed it! Arus' adventures are just beginning!"
I can't wait. Neither should you wait to read this series! show less

The story gets better and better. It was very easy for me to visualize what was happening. The author is very descriptive of people, places and situations. She does this without bogging down the reader. I recommend that you read this book if you like mysteries, intrigue, romance, science fiction, fantasy...I could go on. There were just so many elements to enjoy. Ms. Host has created some fascinating worlds and even more fascinating aliens. It is revealed that these aliens are actually genetically human, but they do not acknowledge originating on planet Earth. The first new world Cass finds herself on is called Muina. As I read more about Muina and the folks who came from there, the Muinans, I began to suspect that maybe these folks really did originate on Earth. After all, reading the descriptions of some of the archaeological finds on Muina, I can't quit equating "Muina" and "Muinans" with "Maya" and "Mayans". Possibly because of the inevitable language drift that would have happened over time, this might be how Maya and Mayan may have eventually been pronounced! Read it and let's see what you think!
Sadly, I was disappointed to find the third book in the series, "Caszandra", is not out yet. I will be waiting and watching!

"Rippler"-An Exciting Young Adult Novel...
I am NOT a young adult, but I still enjoyed this book immensely. It started out with a "bang" (in the water where the main character suddenly experiences her first conscious "Ripple"). There is mystery, romance, adventure, and lots of action, which keeps the main characters, Samantha (Sam) and Will, quite busy.
The author draws you in and makes it easy to suspend disbelief enough to really have a fun time. If you have ever wanted to be like a fly on the wall, seeing but not being seen, this one is for you!

This book is the second in the Ripple series. To really appreciate this book, you should first purchase and read "Rippler". Sam and Will, the two main characters, have an amazing ability in common; they can become invisible by their own will! This seems, at first, to be a fantastic thing. Soon, however, we learn that there are some "bad guys" from the arena of Nazi Germany - mostly scientists, researchers and their henchmen (read: thugs). They are trying to capture those with "Rippler Syndrome", a condition that some people who have Hellman's Disease experience. It has not yet been explained why the scientists are trying to capture those with this "chameleon" ability (or affliction - it remains to be seen which it really is, at least for Will and Sam.)

In the first book, "Rippler", we learned that Will's older sister, Mackenzie, has been his guardian since their parents left the picture years ago. They have been in hiding from the ones who want to capture Will. Mackenzie spends much of her time doing her own research into the disease, helped and guided by an octogenarian who is currently hiding out somewhere in France. It has been a while since she heard from their mysterious benefactor. When Sam sneaks into the research institute, she discovers why...she sees his latest letter on a desk in the institute!

Mackenzie, Will and Sam decide to go to France to meet this man in person, since their method of communication has been compromised.

I am certainly looking forward to the show more next book in the series! I can't wait! show less

Wow! This was fantastic! At first I thought it was just going to be your average cloak and dagger tale, but with a futuristic bent (because one of the main characters is a clone with a computerized brain). Not so! It is all that, plus a twist I thought was really cool. There is, in this story, what I would call another dimension...or maybe an alternate universe...You'll have your own opinion, of course. This place is where most of the story takes place, and it is amazing. It is like a dream place, or a virtual world, or, according to one of the characters, Mr. C. C. Go, it just might be the womb of creation! It's called "The Zone" by Mr. Go, who is the one that discovered it. I recommend this book if you like science fiction and fantasy. Go for it!

This was an exciting read. I did not realize, however, that it was a horror novel. This was not apparent to me when I read the description. That being said, I did enjoy most of the book...just not the parts with blood and gore in them. If you like mystery, intrigue and solving puzzles in life, you will enjoy this book!

Exciting, enjoyable book. There was only one part I didn't like; the first and second sentences. I hate profanity...but I am positive that most teens today would respond in just the same way as the protagonist did if the same thing happened to them.

Rest assured, the profanity is really next to non-existent in this novel. And, as soon as I finished reading this book, I used my Kindle to purchase the next book. Yahoo! I can't wait to find out what happens next. I find I really care what happens to these characters!

If you like fantasy, and if you love science fiction, then I say, "Try this book!"

This was a simple, enjoyable youth to young adult novel. It had an interesting premise; on an Earth in another dimension, one close to our own, a group of royal, gifted children had to be hidden or be killed off. A rival group, called the Maji, wanted to eliminate these children. These children were "magical", in that each one could physically manipulate one of the elements. Their king, a fifth child, had powers of all the elements.
These children were (for the most part) sent to an Earth (ours) 100 years in the future to try and hide them from those of the "Maji".
This is their tale.
I can see where there could be many more stories set in this "universe".

Satisfactory ending to the trilogy...believable, in that not everyone of the "good" characters gets out unscathed, or even alive. But good does triumph over evil!

Continuation of "The Lightbringer Trilogy", or "The Nations of the Night Trilogy"...
Book 2

Lots of action, expected and unexpected twists, still lots of disgusting vampires (I hate vampires)...but the rest of these books are very enjoyable, aside from the "undead", so I will continue reading the series and recommend it.

What might have happened if Atlantis were real. Contains the books
1) Web of Light
2) Web of Darkness.

Interesting take on the Arthurian legend. I don't like all the gods---goddesses stuff, but the rest was fascinating.
