STAR RATING: 5 / 5
"Oh, what a treat Blood Oath by Kayla Cunningham has been! I’ve read my fair share of fantasy novels, but this one? It’s an absolute gem that reminded me why I fell in love with the genre in the first place.
From the very first page, I was utterly enchanted by Cunningham’s storytelling. She masterfully weaves a tale of magic, betrayal, and destiny with a protagonist, Allyria, who is as fierce as she is complex. Allyria’s journey from captivity to self-discovery is breathtaking, and I cheered her on with every page. Her pain, resilience, and unwavering determination made her feel so real that I wanted to reach into the pages and comfort her myself.
One of the elements that truly captivated me was the world-building. Cunningham has created a realm that is rich, immersive, and brimming with history. The opening foreword, detailing the rise and fall of magic, instantly set the stage for an epic adventure. From the treacherous swamplands Allyria must navigate to the looming presence of the Death Dealer, every scene was painted with vivid detail that made me feel like I was right there beside her.
Speaking of the Death Dealer—oh, what a fascinating character! Mysterious, brooding, and burdened by duty, he adds an irresistible layer of intrigue to the story. His relationship with Allyria is filled with tension, unspoken emotions, and depth that kept me turning the pages well past my bedtime. The moments where he wrestles with his fate, especially his inner conflict about Allyria’s destiny, had me absolutely riveted.
The action sequences were another highlight for me. They were fast-paced yet beautifully written, making my heart race as Allyria fought for survival. The prison escape, the battles, the betrayals—I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. And the magic system? Exquisite! The idea of magic being hunted, lost, and yet still lingering in the veins of certain individuals gave the story a sense of urgency that made it impossible to put down.
But what truly made Blood Oath shine was its emotional depth. Cunningham doesn’t just give us a fantasy adventure; she gives us a story about loyalty, sacrifice, and the weight of choices. Allyria’s struggles with her past, her relationships, and the ever-looming prophecy added layers of poignancy that stayed with me long after I turned the final page.
This is an absolute must-read for those who adore books like Throne of Glass or The Shadows Between Us. Blood Oath is a dazzling start to what I am sure will be an unforgettable series."

Only the strongest survive. Only the chosen shall rule.
The world is healing, but peace never lasts. In the wake of the brutal attack on Obsidian, Allyria Pilar is thrust into the heart of the Elder Tournaments—ancient and unforgiving trials that will decide the future of the immortal realm.
But this year’s tournament is unlike any before. Vampires, fae, werewolves, and immortals from every corner of the known world will gather to compete in a blood-soaked battle for glory, legacy, and the ultimate reward: to be named the heir to the Prince of Obsidian.
In a society where bloodlines mean nothing and power is earned through combat, Allyria must push herself beyond every limit she’s ever known. With whispers of prophecy clinging to her name and the Trident’s Shell still missing, her every move is shadowed by those who would see her rise—or fall. Cassius’s training grows ever more brutal. Psyche swears an unbreakable oath to protect her. And the Death Dealer—prince of the immortals—remains distant, bound by duty and secrets too dangerous to name.
But the Elder Tournaments are not just tests of strength—they are battles of will, loyalty, and identity. As Allyria forges unlikely alliances and confronts betrayals that cut deeper than any blade, she must ask herself:
What will she sacrifice to win?
And what part of her will survive the cost?
A brutal, breathtaking sequel to Blood Oath, The Elder Tournaments plunges readers into a realm of shifting loyalties, deadly ambition, and the unrelenting pursuit of destiny.
A Story of Love, Fate, and the Unbreakable Bond: Threads of Fate – Book 2 of the Chasing the Comet Series
How do you hold on to love when time is running out?
Cassandra Temperance Steel and Zhang Xuan have already defied the odds once. But in Threads of Fate, the highly anticipated second book in the Chasing the Comet series, their greatest challenge is yet to come.
Xuan’s battle with terminal cancer has shaped every moment of their lives together, but as his condition worsens, Cassie refuses to surrender to despair. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps across the world, forcing them into isolation just as Xuan’s health becomes more fragile than ever. The world outside is consumed by fear and uncertainty, but inside the walls of their home, they fight a different battle—one against time, mortality, and the reality of what lies ahead.
As they try to hold onto each other, they also face a rising tide of racism and xenophobia, with Xuan becoming a target of hate simply because of his Chinese heritage. In a time when the world should come together, they are instead met with ignorance and cruelty. But Xuan refuses to let hate define his final days. Instead, he and Cassie choose to focus on love—the love they share, the memories they’ve built, and the moments that still belong to them.
With heart-wrenching romance, unbreakable resilience, and an exploration of the fragility of life, Threads of Fate is a deeply emotional contemporary romance that asks: When the future is uncertain, how do you make every moment count?

Grief becomes her shadow, and every step forward feels like a betrayal of the love they shared. As she struggles with loss and depression, she is forced to confront a painful truth: How do you keep going when the person who made life worth living is no longer by your side?
