The Faerie Ring (The Faerie Ring #1) - by Kiki Hamilton

Debut novelist Kiki Hamilton takes readers from the gritty slums and glittering ballrooms of Victorian London to the beguiling but menacing Otherworld of the Fey in this spellbinding tale of romance, suspense, and danger.  

The year is 1871, and Tiki has been making a home for herself and her family of orphans in a deserted hideaway adjoining Charing Cross Station in central London. Their only means of survival is by picking pockets. One December night, Tiki steals a ring, and sets off a chain of events that could lead to all-out war with the Fey. For the ring belongs to Queen Victoria, and it binds the rulers of England and the realm of Faerie to peace. With the ring missing, a rebel group of faeries hopes to break the treaty with dark magic.

Unbeknownst to Tiki, she is being watched by Rieker, a fellow thief who suspects she is involved in the disappearance of the ring. Rieker has secrets of his own, and Tiki is not all that she appears to be. Her very existence haunts Prince Leopold, the Queen's son, who is driven to know more about the mysterious mark that encircles her wrist. 

Prince, pauper, and thief--all must work together to secure the treaty...

5 out of 5 stars

Literally just finished this book about 15 minutes ago. And, normally when I write a book, (whether I loved it or not) I usually have some complaints about it--Some of the characters annoyed me, the romance was either dumb or too sexual, etc. But not for this book! I loved everything about it: the characters, writing, plot, setting, and romance. 

So just get the book, read it, love it, swoon over a certain thief, and pretty much just read the entire thing in one sitting. That's what I did ;-)

Oh my gosh! Look at his little face! Haha.

Teaser Tuesday - Post #15

Here's something new! Every Tuesday I'm going to share with you a picture that showcases a moment from my book, Jazmine. Below it, I'll have a quote that is related to the picture. Hopefully this way ya'll will be able to get inside my head a little and see what Latanica is really like! None of these images (unless otherwise noted) are mine.

                                                   From THE LATANICA SAGA: JAZMINE --

As I looked out into the horizon, a black dot caught my attention. I strained my eyes to try and see it clearly. After a while it got closer and I was able to see that it was a ship. It looked very old, but I noticed that it was well built.  But it was the ship’s flag that caught my attention. It was jet-black, with a red raven. It fluttered and waved in the wind.

TOAM: The Maze Runner

**TOAM: thoughts on a movie

Wow. That's all I can say at the moment... This was one intense movie. I mean, I've seen intense movies before but for some reason this one was different. Maybe it's because it involved the ultimate survival of children/teenagers. Now, don't think this is another rehashing of the Hunger Games. It's far from it, actually, and (in my opinion) way better. Instead of teenagers and children put together to kill each other, this is more about putting teenagers and children together to help each other survive. There are the one's that are more violent and one's that question leadership of course, but the effort these boys put into to keep each other alive is amazing. Another thing that astounded me were the words of wisdom that would come out of some of these teenage boys. Some of the things they said really made my mouth drop.

On another note. The movie is really very well made in all aspects; script, acting, cinematography, special effects. I feel like the movie industry is taking a step forward in their production of these kinds of movies. The mystery in it is also something to keep you on your toes. 

Overall, the whole movie kept me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait for the second one to come out next year.
