Here is the book's description:

Book 1 of the "In Her Name" series 

In the first book of an epic futuristic fantasy trilogy, In Her Name: Empire is the story of Reza Gard, a young boy of the Human Confederation who is swept up in the century-long war with the alien Kreelan Empire. 

Nightmarish female warriors with blue skin, fangs, and razor sharp talons, the Kreelans have technology that is millennia beyond that of the Confederation, yet they seek out close combat with sword and claw, fighting and dying to honor their god-like Empress. 

Captured and enslaved, Reza must live like his enemies in a grand experiment to see if humans have souls, and if one may be the key to unlocking an ages old curse upon the Kreelan race. 

Enduring the brutal conditions of Kreelan life, Reza and a young warrior named Esah-Zhurah find themselves bound together by fate and a prophecy foretold millennia before they were born. 

The story is continued in the second book of the trilogy, "In Her Name: Confederation".

Review - Limerick: A Faerie Tale Girl Novella, #2

I was curious how Ms. Spencer's second book would turn out so I couldn't help myself I had to read it. Her second book is:

Limerick: A Faerie Tale Girl Novella, #2

Here is the book's description:

Jensen hoped she’d never need Shimmerspell again. But now someone is stalking her, someone who claims to be the Lady of the Lake. And to make matters worse, witches and dragons have come out to play. And Jensen must figure out how to harness her power and accept her destiny before she ends up losing everyone she loves.

Fantastic job Ms. Spencer! I really enjoyed this book, the writing flowed beautifully. The story line picked up right where Shimmerspell left off. Things that weren't explained in Shimmerspell were revealed in Limerick. I think Ms. Spencer's writing has no other direction to go but up, I can't wait to read the next book in her "Faerie Tale Girl" series.

I have to admit, I wasn't happy about the ending, the book just came to an abrupt halt. It had me looking for the next chapter. The ending left a lot of questions unanswered, but I have a feeling that is exactly what Ms. Spencer had in mind. I'm guessing that she is setting us up for the next book in this series.

I also love that Ms. Spencer knows how to proof read, no typos, great editing job. I really admire her book covers too they are very appealing, whoever creates her book covers does exquisite work.

Also, don't miss "Lore: A Faerie Tale Girl Prequel" to find out how the whole "Faerie Tale Girl" story began. Head on over to Smashwords and enjoy the story for yourselves.

Thank you Ms. Spencer for allowing me to read your work.
