Middle School Fantasy Review: A Curse of Mayhem by Sunayna Prasad

This morning, I have a middle grade fiction book to share! Check out A Curse of Mayhem, read my thoughts on the book and learn about author Sunayna Prasad! You can also visit this book series spotlight post to learn more about the other books in the series.

Book Title: A Curse of Mayhem (Alyssa McCarthy's Magical Missions, Book 2) by Sunayna Prasad
Category: Middle-Grade Fiction (Ages 8-12), 173 pages
Genre: Fantasy
Publisher: Amazon KDP
Release date: July 2019

About the Book

History, like magic, has a habit of repeating itself.

It’s been six months since thirteen-year-old Alyssa McCarthy left magic behind for good. Or so she thought…

Then the enchanted objects that protected her disappear. Now a skeleton named Errol has cursed her with magical powers that keep getting her in trouble. Suddenly strange things are happening with disastrous effects, and if Alyssa can’t remove the magic, she will lose everything she holds dear. In order to get rid of her unwanted wizardry, Alyssa will have to boost her bravery and confidence and determine who Errol really is. But every time Alyssa uses an enchantment, Errol is one step closer to getting his flesh back and becoming alive, and he will do anything to achieve his goals…even if it means destroying Alyssa’s happiness.

Originally published in 2016 as “Wizardry Goes Wild” and “The Unruly Curse” in 2019, “A Curse of Mayhem” is book two in the exciting and suspenseful “Magical Missions” series.

My Review

A Curse of Mayhem is Written for Middle School Readers. If you read the first book in the series, the writing style, character dialogues, and behaviors are very similar to those in this book. If you didn't read the first book in the series, there are some slight attempts to help new series readers catch up, but the book can still be read as a stand-alone without missing much detail from the first book. The dialogue and characters are immature and may not be very relatable for older teens or adult parent readers. However, the novel is written for middle school ages, and younger readers, ages 8-11 or so, will likely find the magic more entertaining and the dialogue and middle school dramas more relatable.

Don't Expect Much Realism in A Curse of Mayhem. The story is fast-paced, with many character introductions, fast-paced dialogue, and little time for character growth and development. While the storyline is interesting and engaging, and the author does create an updated magical adventure more suited to today's tech-driven tweens, there are many scenes that adults and older teens will find pretty unrealistic. Having said that, there are many tween, middle school-aged behaviors and learning opportunities for younger readers in this series as they face their differences from middle school peers and learn to find their place in groups of friends and adults.

Would I recommend A Curse of Mayhem? This is a fun, magical story for older elementary-aged readers and younger middle-school children. Alyssa McCarthy is still a bit immature, but she accomplishes a little bit of growth and self-discovery in this book. Parents and older teens who enjoy reading along with younger readers will not find a realistically deep, thought-provoking fantasy, but younger readers should relate well to Alyssa and her middle school dramas.

About the Book

The excitement felt in the Winner’s Circle vanishes when the jockey’s beloved horse disappears from his stall in the dark of night. Patrick McCallin is a young Irish lad growing up in the 1980’s when all of Ireland is groaning under the weight of The Troubles. Born to ride, he pays little mind to the political unrest going on around him. He dreams only of becoming a jockey. Patrick’s dream comes true when he is selected to ride an up-and-coming Thoroughbred, named Fionn MacCool, in the biggest races in England and Ireland. Race after race ends with Fionn and Patrick in the Winner’s Circle. The pair captures the heart of all Ireland. But the dream becomes a nightmare when Patrick’s beloved horse is kidnapped and held for ransom. When the horse’s owner refuses to pay and the Irish Garda closes the case, Patrick and his best friends, Ronan and Maddie, have no choice but to find Fionn themselves.

My Review

Perfect for Horse Lovers and Mystery Lovers Alike. I have read a few other books from M.J. Evans and I love her storytelling style and the way she weaves her vast knowledge of horses and riding into the character relationships, settings and plots of her novels. This book is another wonderful story of the bond between the horse and his human. While that segment of the novel is key, the mystery storyline is just as well done with enough realistic twists and turns to keep readers engaged and guessing from beginning to end. While I am not happy that a book set in the '80's is "historical" fiction--the reality is just that it is to teen and young adult readers. Setting this novel in 80's Ireland gives readers a view of Irish culture and politics that may not be well known to readers.

Wonderful Characters create a Well-Crafted, Young Adult Story. Evans creates animal and human characters to love. It's impossible to not root for a happy ending for Patrick and Fionn. As the mystery finds resolution, readers find a lot to learn about horses, horse racing, mystery solving and Irish history and culture. While the book is a clean read for teen and young adult readers, parents and older horse lovers and mystery fans will enjoy this novel too.

Would I Recommend Finding Fionn by M.J. Evans? I grew up reading books about animals or mysteries. It was always a wonderful find when I could combine those two loves into one story. This book is a wonderful blend of mystery and horse-story. I have enjoyed many of the author's novels--but, I think the setting and characters in this one pushes it to the top of my favorites from her. If you (or a teen / young adult in your life) enjoy horses and mysteries--and the Irish culture--this book should be on your reading list.

Young Adult Fantasy Review: Starla by Terrilynn Moore and Quade B. Smith

This morning, I have a young adult fantasy novel to share in our book review spotlight! Check out Starla, learn about the authors, read my thoughts on the book and enter the book tour giveaway at the end of this post.

Book Title: Starla by Terrilynn Moore and Quade B. Smith
Category:  YA Fiction (Ages 13-17), 434 pages
Genre:  Urban Fantasy
Publisher:  Laurel Elite Books
Release date: May 2023

About the Book

High school is stressful enough without having to save your town from evil incarnate.

But Starla never really had a choice in the matter.

Starla, an aspiring artist, lives an uneasy life with her mom after the sudden loss of her dad. She seeks refuge at the home of her grandmother, Ma Mère, where she feels safe. As a teenager, Starla begins to demonstrate magical abilities. Among them, she discovers her hands glow with purple light and she can understand the squeaks of her pets.

Her new abilities are no surprise to Ma Mère, who reveals a long-hidden family secret of power and magic. Starla's new abilities have been passed down for generations and were awakened by the shift in power when Hel, an ancient evil being, escaped containment.

Hel and those under its power are determined to gain possession and control over the citizens of East Pine and the magical dimensions concealed there. Starla and her friends refuse to let that happen.

If she hopes to thwart Hel's insatiable quest for power and regain control over it before East Pine and all of the dimensions of existence are destroyed, Starla will have to trust her instincts and find the courage to harness the ancestral magic she was born to wield.

My Review

The Authors Create a Well-Done Fantasy World for Starla. Blending an exciting world of magic, special powers and good vs. evil with some realistic elements of teen life, the authors create a very engaging world for young Starla's fantasy adventures. While the heroine seeks to prevent evil-doer Hel from carrying out his plans, she has to come of age a bit into her new town, place in life and her family's magical powers.

Expect a Large Cast of Characters and the Need to Read with Focus. This is a longer young adult book that introduces many characters--some quite necessary, others with little purpose to the growing plot. Sometimes the shifts between characters and scenes were a little confusing and required a re-read or a refresher on a certain character's name or role in the story. Once I had the characters mapped out in my mind, I was able to read the flow of the storyline a little easier.

Would I Recommend Starla by Terrilynn Moore and Quade B. Smith? I enjoyed Starla's character in this adventure. I enjoyed watching her grow into her role and find her place in her magical world. If you enjoy young adult fantasies with female leads and a well-designed fantasy world--this is an engaging story of good vs. evil.

But when this college sophomore discovers a severed human ear on her doorstep, she must solve its meaning before she becomes the next victim, or worse, gets deported. Her tentative friendship with young constable Edward and the beauty of the Bath Abbey are no comfort as her aristocratic coworker Simon sabotages her every move. And the danger only increases when she discovers a dead body, both ears intact.

Genre: Traditional Mystery/Cozy
Published by: Level Best Books
Publication Date:
Number of Pages:
ISBN: 978-1685122423 (ISBN-10: ‎1685122426)
Series: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery, Book 1

Praise for Death Takes a Bath:

"A whale of a read! Dip your toe into Death Takes a Bath, and you won’t come out until you’ve reached ‘the end.” A highly recommended page-turner with archaeology, intrigue, an intrepid heroine, a dishy policeman, and . . . a rabbit."
~ Molly Mac.Rae, Author: The Highland Bookshop Mystery Series

"An exciting page-turner! It captured my attention from the first line and kept me riveted until the final twist."
~ Avanti Centrae, international bestselling author of Cleopatra's Vendetta

My Review

Death Takes a Bath Brings a Fun Start to the Cozy Mystery Series. I wasn't a fan of the first few chapters of this book as the author introduced a few of her characters and developed a bit of an instant-romance relationship between Maddie and Constable Edward. Some of those early interactions were pretty unrealistic and slightly eye-roll-worthy. Then, the storyline began to develop, a mystery unfolded, and twists and turns began to take shape in a well-paced, more believable manner. There is certainly a young adult feel to the story at the beginning--and the clean story continues that young adult theme through to the end. However, it becomes more of an engaging, cozy mystery with some history and archaeology in a setting that an adult can enjoy. All in all, this novel brings a fun, engaging start to the author's series.

Readers will find Characters to Love and a Well-Rounded Mystery. Readers will enjoy the characters in this novel as they grow, change, and join forces to solve the mystery at hand. With humor and an eclectic cast of characters, the author brings this novel's mystery to a close while developing the setting and characters for future adventures. I enjoyed Maddie's personality and resourcefulness--and the humor of her thoughts and perspectives at times!

Would I Recommend Death Takes a Bath by Sharon Lynn? If you enjoy clean, young adult cozy mysteries with interesting settings and likable characters, this novel will keep you engaged to the end. If you are put off by insta-romance--be patient for a few early chapters, and the story becomes more of a mystery as the characters find their footing and the author develops their mystery-solving "team ."I enjoyed the novel and the author's storytelling style. I look forward to following the characters through many more mysteries and adventures.

Read an Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

The First Discovery

“What’s nine-one-one in England?” I squeaked at my cell.

Black dots dancing before my eyes, I stabbed at the mic icon on the phone and repeated the question.

“I found one number for emergency services in Great Britain,” the soothing electronic voice informed me. “Nine-nine-nine.”

My fingers trembled, and the phone smacked to the ground. As I reached to retrieve it, Roddy, the cottage’s fluffy black-and-white rabbit, hopped to inspect the object.

Jaw clenched in a death grip, my vision getting cloudy, I forced myself to stand still and count slowly to five. The world stopped spinning, allowing me to reach for the phone.

“Don’t eat that,” I warned Roddy in a passing imitation of my mother. I scooped him up for comfort and maneuvered my cell so I could see the screen.

“Okay. Here we go.” I pushed the numbers as I said them. “Nine, nine, nine.”

“What service do you require?” a voice on the other end inquired. “Ambulance, police, fire, or Coast Guard?”

“Um.” Coast Guard? My brain short-circuited on the unfamiliar option. If there was one thing you never needed in the Arizona desert, it was the Coast Guard. My body swayed unsteadily as I contemplated the question.

“Are you able to speak?” the voice prompted.

Emergency. I needed to tell them. “Ear,” I stuttered, unable to form a sentence around the horror of the situation.

“You’re here, yes. If you are unable to speak, tap twice if you are in imminent danger.”

The professional but concerned voice had its intended effect of calming me. Shaking my head, I changed tactics. Instead of discussing the details of what I’d found, I asked for the police.

After a complicated exchange that gave me time to form my response, a male police officer asked my emergency.

Shuddering, I said, “Hi. My name is Madeline McGuire. I’m an exchange student from America, and I found an ear.” The words tumbled from my mouth. “A human ear. A freshly severed human ear.”

Saying it out loud made it real. Bunny in arm, I sunk to the floor, clinging to fluffy comfort. The image of the blood-stained ear spilling out of the salt-packed box loomed in my mind, stirring the acids in my stomach.

The voice of the officer broke through my thoughts. “You did the right thing to call. Do you have the address of your location?”

“Ash Tree cottage on Greenway Lane, Bath, England.”

“I’ll stay on the line until a constable arrives,” he told me.

Teeth chattering, I nodded robotically.

“Miss?”

“Yeah. Okay. I’ll be fine. Fine,” I said, not sounding even a little fine. “I’ll make coffee. This seems like a coffee moment.”

“I’ve found that tea is quite soothing in difficult situations,” the officer offered.

Ignoring the suggestion, I treaded into the kitchen, Roddy clutched to my chest, the phone pressed to my ear.

“I could have done without your discovery, Roddy,” I muttered. When I brought the rabbit in from the pouring rain, I let him roam free long enough for him to chew a hole through the cardboard of a newly delivered package.

“What was that, miss?” the policeman on the line asked.

“Oh, sorry. Talking to my rabbit.”

“Miss?”

“Nothing. I’m fine.”

I hadn’t blinked in a long time. A tremor rippled through me as I set the rabbit on the kitchen floor. With a weird detachment, I noted that Roddy’s black-and-white fur matched the checkerboard tile. The pattern became mesmerizing, a safe place for my mind until I collapsed against the counter.

Catching myself, I said, “Coffee. Coffee is good.” Filling the electric kettle, I flickered the “On” switch, then retrieved the French press. A mostly empty bag of stale coffee sat behind the press.

Dumping the ground beans into the glass cylinder, I filled the press with hot water.

It was a mundane task that I had done hundreds of times. I wondered, could I make coffee without my ear?

As I pushed the plunger to infuse the water with grounds, I almost shoved the contraption onto the floor. Catching it just in time, I shakily poured myself a cup. Ignoring the scalding heat, I gulped.

Caffeine coursed through my system, making me jumpy as I thought about the consequences of receiving a body part. An ear in the mail would make a little sense back in Chicago, where I was getting my archeology degree. Mobsters still controlled parts of the city, and the paper always mentioned grizzly retribution crimes.

As I took another sip, I imagined finding the package while at college. The dorm would buzz with gossip, wondering what the intended recipient had done. And I would know it wasn’t meant for me.

I had only been in Bath for two days. I didn’t know anyone in England, especially not well enough to offend them.

Did that mean the homeowners where I had a room were being warned? My stomach curdled at the thought. I hadn’t met them yet, but I considered them friends after the year of emails we exchanged. Bad people wouldn’t own a bunny, would they?

Losing control, I hunched over, retching dry heaves.

I leaned my back against the pantry door and slid to the floor. Roddy hopped in my lap, comforting me.

“Miss?”

I yelped, causing the rabbit to bound off of me, his powerful legs digging into my jeans. I’d forgotten the phone.

“Hello?”

“Constable Bailey is on your street. His collar number is 16941.”

“There’s a pull chain to open the latch on the gate. The box is in the mudroom. Tell him to come in.”

“Mudroom?” For the first time, my dispatcher sounded unsure.

Book Review Spotlight: A Daughter's Journey by Myra Lee Glass

This morning, I have a young adult historical fiction novel to share. Check out A Daughter's Journey, learn about author Myra Lee Glass, read my thoughts on the book and enter for a chance to win a prize in the book tour giveaway at the end of this post.

About the Book

The year is 1938 and a family in the small South Carolina town of Beaufort faces serious adversity. After the birth of her long-awaited son, Mary Banks dives into a dark postpartum period, throwing her into a deep depression. Thinking that her sister, Rose, is offering her a helping hand, Mary leaves her family and goes to Boston in search of a medical cure, not to be heard from again.

Where is Mary Banks? What has Rose done with the much-loved mother and wife of the Banks family? Finally, Mary’s 15-year-old daughter, Estelle can wait no longer. She gathers her wits and her courage and without a word, runs off to heroically rescue her beloved mother in faraway Boston. This is where the adventure begins……

My Review

A Daughter's Journey Brings a Historical Peek at Women's Mental Health. This novel gives a young adult glimpse into women's mental health during the early 1900s. While the book is a bit abrupt, and its details of the treatment of women's mental health are limited, the focus on postpartum depression and the views and treatment of it by society and the medical profession in our not-so-distant history is an interesting basis for this story.

The Author Creates a Heartwarming Adventure for Her Main Character. The main character seems younger than 15 as she navigates her way from small-town South Carolina to Boston, yet it is impossible to be less than drawn to her character and her emotional journey to find her mother and bring her home. The plot pulls Estella through her adventure with an endearing cast of supporting characters and hopes for a happy ending. There are characters to love and hate--and interesting relationships and dialogue that keep readers interested in turning the pages to the end.

Would I recommend A Daughter's Journey by Myra Lee Glass? The novel holds some less than believable coincidences, leaves some pieces of the story unresolved, and ends rather suddenly--but it is an entertaining adventure for younger young adult readers who do not get too caught up in the why's and what's next details. I would have liked more details on the motivations of Mary's sister--and a longer novel that gave us more of the follow-up story of the family. Those who enjoy light, historical mystery adventures geared toward tween/teen readers will enjoy this novel.

About the Book

The Black Shuck’s forces gather just beyond the mist . . .

Captain Justice Kasric knows how complicated family can be. The escalating Human-Faerie war has scattered and wounded her siblings and transformed her parents beyond recognition. After narrowly escaping yet another dangerous clash, fifteen-year-old Justice has had enough. She’s determined to defeat the Black Shuck, the mysterious leader controlling the Faerie invasion of London, but if Justice hopes to stand a chance at victory, she’ll have to do the impossible: reunite her family and lead them against the looming Faerie Armada.

With her mother and brother at the helm of the enemy fleet, and the prophesized Seven Virtues slipping out of reach, Justice more than has her work cut out for her. Even if she can save England, the cost may be higher than she’s willing to pay.

My Review

Armadas in the Mist Continues the Fantasy Series. The author continues this series by giving readers some recap early on in the book & then continuing the fairy war adventures with Justice and her cast of crew and family. Readers will find some new twists and turns and some new elements in Justice's science fiction/fantasy world. I always feel that a series is best read in order--but if you have missed the second book in this series--you could probably read this third book without feeling lost in the flow.

Armadas in the Mist is Well Paced Once the Storyline Advances. It took me a bit to feel that the story was moving into place--but, once I settled in, I liked the action-packed pace and the unusual twists and turns the author tossed in.

Would I Recommend Armadas in the Mist by Christian Klaver? I enjoy Justice as a character and the unique setting and adventures the author created for her journey. There could certainly be future adventures with Justice--and I would add them to my reading list. If you enjoy clean, fun, save-the-world fantasy adventures with brave female leads--this is a great series for your teen's reading list.
