My first review :-)

I have just read Banished book one in The Blackhart Trilogy by Liz De Jager. This is a teen/YA crossover.



This is Liz's debut novel (her previous debut novel, which she wrote at age 9, has never been published).

What a ride!
Young Kit Blackhart didn't expect life after the death of her dearest grandmother to be quite so adventurous. She has been taken in by her previously unknown family (whom she's grown to love), into a world of fantasy & fairytale. Her life is now made up of magic, enemy fae and seriously awesome weapons training.
Just as she's getting used to it all, her life and those of her family and friends has been turned upside down the moment she steps in to save the life of fae Prince, Thorn. Fighting evil has never been this scary! She battles trolls, chimeras, fae foot soldiers and worse. She faces off with big-time villains with the fate of the world depending on her...and this is just the beginning.

I am a huge fan of Amanda Hocking's Trylle Trilogy and this reminded me of her style of writing. Easy reading and entertaining to the max! Funnily enough, they have the same publisher.

Boy's don't be put off, but it does have a smidge of romance. And romance, my dears, is good for the soul :-)
I won't be surprised if it's a runaway success. If you get it, you will not be dissapointed!
