Duskfire Dragon's Mate by Zoe Chant


I received "Duskfire Dragon's Mate" by Zoe Chant as an Advanced Reading Copy (ARC).  "Duskfire Dragon's Mate" is a shifter romance between a human and a dragon who had a lot of misunderstandings in their past. While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Maya had fled from Corin and the human world to Hideaway Cove, a safe haven for shifters, to protect her son, Tomas, in the previous story, "The Lightning Dragon's Mate."  Maya receives a mystery package that brings Corin back into her life.  Worried about her son, Maya agrees to allow Corin to stay and they begin to discover a world of misunderstandings, not just their own.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well strengthening of familial bonds with some surprising twists in the plot.  Also, who can resist Tomas' adorable baby dragon antics and stealing of gold?  Though this is the 4th book in Chant's Hideaway Cove series, it can be read as a standalone.  However, there are a few references to things that happened in prior books, especially "The Lightning Dragon's Mate" and I personally would recommend reading at least that one first as I felt like I would have enjoyed "Duskfire Dragon's Mate" even more if I had read that story first.  I will definitely be going back to read the other books in the series when I get the chance.

As a teacher, I like this book because it showcases how easily misunderstandings can form and emphasizes the importance of communication.  Corin and Maya could have already been happy if they had just talked to each other.  Corin and Maya's families struggled to make connections even though they cared so much for each other.  It really shows that so much can be solved if they just talk to each other.  

As a cosplayer, most of the outfits are day to day clothing, but a cosplayer or make up artist could have a lot of fun using making up and costumes to come up with an effect that looks like their animal counter parts.  Like wouldn't it be cool to dress up a toddler like Tomas' special feathery dragon?  So many neat shifters to choose from.

Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE Review

Hey all! I love this mini Bluetooth stereo from FREEWISE. It is great for us cosplayers who like to make videos of us in character or sing our favorite songs from the series. Also, pay attention to this review because I may be GIVING AWAY one of these great speakers soon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GR46AVU/ About the Seller: The seller was very prompt in sending the package and it arrived on time. I did not need to contact the seller and everything was packaged well. Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-42QM_6W0o About the Product: I chose to review the blue Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE but it actually comes in three colors: blue, rose gold, and silver. The speaker comes with a connector so you can hang it off your phone, a charging cord (though it can be any mini USB cord as my phone charger works perfectly with it), and directions. It is pretty easy to set up even without the directions (I should know as I accidentally left the direction

The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker

  I received an ARC of this book.  I originally noticed it because of it's beautiful cover, which led me to read the description and request the ARC. When Dreams Aren't What You Expect Them To Be The Scarlet Alchemist is a fantasy that is set in a China like world when alchemy is real.  You get a taste of Chinese culture in a fantasy setting.  Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist to help her family beat poverty.  She fights her way up to achieve her dream, only supported by her cousins and a powerless prince, as everyone one else tries to continuously tear her down. Only for reality to come crashing down on her hard.  Without spoiling the story, it's a page turner where you simultanously root for Zilan, want her to save the world, while totally understanding both the good and bad choices she makes to survive.  It's an interesting fantasy that really plays on the readers' emotions as Zilan faces many moral choices that determine who she becomes. I look forward

Brown Wig with Colored Tips from TinyUnicorn Review

Hey all! I love this brown wig with colored tips from TinyUnicorn. It is great for us cosplayers who like to do a variety of original characters or just want a fun wig for day to day wear. https://www.amazon.com/TINYUNICORN/ About the Seller: Awesome seller. Have worked with them before and items always arrive quickly and is of good quality. About the Product: One of the nice things about this wig from TinyUnicorn is the fact that it is mostly a natural color. If you are like me and have brown hair, it is a lot easier to hide your natural hair under the wig without worrying about those stay hairs or edges that will often show especially if you are like me and struggle to secure the wig (I often have help with wigs but when I don't they will slide a little), your hair is not very noticeable when the wig slides. I tested the wig with a hair straightener and it is heat resistant. The dark blues and greens add a nice touch on the tips of the wig. When I wore the wig out, qu
