  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE WATER LEGACY (Academy of Magical Creatures, #2) . . . I am truly regretting not read/listening to the first book of this series. This was fantasy vivid, rich, and enticing. I wanted so much more. I just could imaging what book one of the series held for my auditory and visual sensors to experience. Without the first book experience I did feel a bit aloof through some portions of the audio. I was looking for things that had already occurred or were already explained. With that said, I do highly advise experiencing book one first then dive in to the explosion of characters, depth, details, culture, and more. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Megan Linski. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 




Fire and water are forbidden.
Sophia:
Liam and I survived the Elemental Cup, but the tournament was only the beginning. The Koigni Elders were impressed by my performance and believe I can help them take over the entire tribe.
But they're asking me to fight for a cause I don't believe in, and forcing me to use my magic in ways that feel wrong. I must learn how to use my powers to contact the ancestors - or I'll lose everyone I love.
Liam:
Sophia Henley's now my girlfriend. And, oh yeah, I'm supposed to kill her.
The water council has promised they'll bring my familiar back from the dead - my literal soul - if I take Sophia's life. But I love her more than I love myself. How can I make such an impossible decision? Even worse, how could I possibly live without her?

But this isn't about us anymore. If don't fulfill my mission, thousands will die...and Sophia and I are both keeping secrets that will change everything.

SPOTLIGHT Audio - YA FANTASY - SECOND STRING SAVIOR (False Icons, #1) by Rick Gualtieri & R.E. Carr Narrator: Andrea Emmes

Audiobook Tour: Second String Savior by Rick Gualtieri & R.E. Carr
SECOND STRING SAVIOR
False Icons, #1
 by Rick Gualtieri, R.E. Carr
Narrator: Andrea Emmes 
Length: 12 hours 46 minutes 
Publisher: Tantor Audio 
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy

Synopsis

Jessie Flores is having the ultimate bad hair day.

Imagine going to bed with mousy brown locks and waking up with a headful of supernova scarlet. It's a hot new look for me - literally, because it bursts into flames whenever I'm threatened.

My magical makeover is all Gary's fault. I knew there was something off from the moment he transferred to my school. Go figure. He's a wizard with a trust fund and an inferiority complex. 

Now, thanks to him, I've graduated from high school bullies to supernatural terrors and that's not all. Fate has chosen me to face the legendary vampire destined to destroy the world.

If I want to survive, I'll have to dig deep and discover whether I'm truly worthy of this new power. Because if not, everything I hold dear will soon burn even hotter than my hair.

Rick Gualtieri loves to write adventure, mayhem, and snarky dialogue. His bestselling Tome of Bill series combines all of this into a world of supernatural danger with hard-hitting action and plenty of sharp-tongued geeky humor. Rick lives alone in a dark, evil place called New Jersey with only his wife, three kids, and countless pets to both keep him company and constantly plot against him. When he’s not busy monkey-clicking out words, he can typically be found either playing Dungeons & Dragons, losing at video games, or jealously guarding his collection of vintage Transformers from all who would seek to defile them. Defilers Beware!

E. Carr likes to split her time between the alien (well resident alien) she married, her two adorable offspring and the vast army of characters who constantly argue in her brain. She uses her past life as a video game reviewer to remind herself just how awesome it is to be writing novels now. Rachel writes because she knows so many people and places that never quite made it into this version of the universe. It’s her duty to let them out. Writing also gives her mind a certain peace and calm rarely felt in this multi-tasking, wired world.

SPOTLIGHT Audio- YA FANTASY - The Fire Prophecy (Academy of Magical Creatures, #1) by Megan Linski & Alicia Rades Narrators: Jennifer Jill Araya & Graham Halstead

Audiobook Tour: The Fire Prophecy by Megan Linski & Alicia Rades
THE FIRE PROPHECY
Academy of Magical Creatures, #1
by Megan Linski & Alicia Rades
Narrators: Jennifer Jill Araya & Graham Halstead
Length: 15 hours and 3 minutes
Released: July 24th 2019
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy




Fire and water don't mix.
Sophia: I'm Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I'll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.

I don't believe I'm the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that's more myth than reality. Worst of all, I'm forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I'll either earn my place in this society...or die trying.
Liam: The night I met Sophia, I didn't think we'd form an undeniable connection. But I'm from the Water tribe, and she's fire. I'm forced to push her away even as I'm falling for her.

I lost everything, yet Sophia makes me whole again. Our world is fixed on keeping us apart, but we're in this tournament together. We have to keep each other alive at any cost - or I'll give my life for hers.

It's pretty clear. If I continue to play with fire, I'm going to get burned.
