Book Review
of My Merlin Awakening Hosted by Bewitching Book Tours
Book 2,
My Merlin Series
By Priya
Ardis
Blurb:
If you haven't broken the rules, have
you really lived?
Excalibur has been pulled from
the stone, but what does it mean? Arriane (aka Ryan) DuLac doesn’t
really care. She's got bigger problems—as student president, she's got to put
on the Prom. While the Wizard Council debates their next move, she leaves the
craziness behind and heads home.
But she can’t hide forever.
Sooner than she’d like Merlin (aka Matt) has her chasing mermaids on the
trail of the Fisher King. The wounded King, defeated by Merlin’s brother, Vane,
in the past holds the key to save the future.
On the journey, Ryan begins to
realize the friends she thought she knew, she may not know at all. At a time of
shifting alliances, she must decide whose side she’s on—the brother who
struggles to do right or the brother who dares to break the rules? And Ryan
must decide who she is—a regular girl or a champion?
One wrong decision and her family falls apart. One wrong
decision and the world falls apart. No pressure.
The second book of the My Merlin Series is available now in
limited release on Barnes and Noble (barnesandnoble.com) only. Full release
will follow shortly.

My Boyfriend Merlin (Book 1, My Merlin Series)
He was a
little older than he was letting on. By a few eons...
In this
teen Arthurian paranormal, 17-year-old nice girl Arriane, aka Ryan,
DuLac just found out the guy she's been crushing on—bad-boy biker, Matt—is
a little older than he was letting on. By a few eons...
In fact,
he is really Merlin—the Merlin, King Arthur's Merlin, the
greatest wizard who ever lived. Frozen in a cave for over fifteen hundred
years, he's woken for a purpose. But Ryan's not impressed. Tired of being a
relationship loser, she'd rather kick his legendary behind.
Sure,
the world has been crazy ever since the sword and the stone fell out of the sky
like a meteor. But despite gruesome gargoyles, an underground world of magic
and the guy driving her crazy, Ryan knows that family is everything. Will
Merlin sacrifice hers to save the world? Will she be able to stop him?

Book Review:
What a charming series of
books. I love the Arthur and Merlin
legend. I have read all the books,
watched all the movies (even the Disney one), seen the television mini-series,
and so on, but I loved this updated take.
Ryan, the heroine of our tale, has to battle her way to survival and
then in book 1 finds out that the guy she like, Matt, is not only not who she
thought he was… he’s Merlin, as in Arthur’s Merlin.
These books also bring in elements
of Greek legends. Zeus, Poseidon, the Minotaur,
and Hades are all mentioned. The
bringing together of these two vastly different tales; Arthur and Greek
mythology, create a fantastical new paradigm.
Book 3 will be out in the Fall of
2012, if I can stand waiting that long.
Heavy sigh. I give these books 4
out of 5 clouds and await book 3 with baited breath.
