The Fantastic Flight of Flora the Fairy by Coleton Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flora is wanting to fly high in the sky so badly but for some reason, she isn't able to do it. She tries all sorts of gizmos and gadgets to help her fly. She even seeks out wise counsel. Once receiving some great advice from an owl, Flora is able to soar to heights higher than most other fairies!

This is a super cute book that focuses on having confidence. The illustrations are very vivid and attractive and add more meaning to the story. Flora is empowered by her friends to soar to new heights and this can be a lesson for anyone struggling with insecurities.

The Gauntlet (The Soppranaturale Series Book 1) by Ashley Pagano

 

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine finding out that you are a special species of supernatural and that you are one of the only two left of your kind. You are led to a special place but you're not really sure why. Ommily has wanted to visit the Soppranaturale hotel for awhile now so she convinces her fiancé to take her there. Only problem is, her fiancé is normal...as in human. Ommily knows she's special but she isn't sure how special until she meets Link. He will teach her as much as he can before they are challenged in the gauntlet.

This was a super fast read for me. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, but that's a good thing. This book features multiple types of supernatural beings (fairies, witches, vampires, phoenix, etc.) and is very different from other supernatural books I've read like this. It was a welcome change and I look forward to reading more work by this author.
