Wow time goes fast :O! Last year I was watching Fifty Shades of Grey with my sister and we had SOOO much fun with everybody else in the cinemas xD... I'm kidding we are the only ones without a date xD there was so many couples we actually stopped counting them XD 

So this time we are of course going to watch ... BamBam..... Fifty Shades of Black xD because why not right? ;) 
To be honest we don't celebrate Valentine's Day in Denmark it's only another day for us but then again I think the people who are a couple do celebrities... I don't know xD.

The Vaga

27016902 Title: The Vaga (The Kuthun #2)
Author: S. A. Carter
Genre: YA,
Contemporary, Paranormal, Fantasy, Magic 
Published: September 24th 2015
Page count: 312
Format: Kindle



Summary (Goodreads):

 DARKNESS IS COMING The last time they met was in a fight for survival, but four years later Julian has returned, and his presence can only mean one thing... the enemy is near. Elena discovers that her world is again being threatened but this time her enemy has a new name. The Vaga-an ancient force ruled by an Immortal known only as Erebus. For eons he has lived in darkness and shadow and will stop at nothing to prevent the New Coming.

Book review:

 I received a free copy from S. A. Carter (author) in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 Stars (without spoilers)

WHAT! NO NO NO no no no no!! It can’t end! What a cliffhanger! I need book 3 “The New Coming” ASAP! xD.

The Vaga takes place 4 years after the event in book #1 of The Kuthun series.
Elena goes to collages together with her best friend Phoebe.
This time around Phoebe has a boyfriend named Sam who I end up loving too, he was funny, protective, super mysterious and the best match for Phoebe ~ such a sweet couple!

Then we have our main character Elena who I adore soooooo much! She really develop after four years, she became stronger and wiser. She still battles with the fact she is a strong witch and important for the future. All she wants to do is be a normal girl like her new found friends Rihanna and (sometime) Jessica who is very competitive toward Elena and hate losing to her. At the collage we also find a very familiar face who loves Elena like his own daughter… Yup it’s none other than our beloved Uncle Jo! I would still wish he was my uncle ;).
The relationship between Elena and Uncle Jo is put to the test because Jo still treats her like a teenager and tell her what to do and not to do, which Elena is tired of.

Then there’s Julian… Ohh gosh Julian I’m SO IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! Sheree can I have him please!? In this second book we get to know him a lot more which just made me love him more <3_<3.
Not only do we get to know Julian better but also the Puritans and Erebus who is a much bigger threat to Elena and those around her.
We discover a few things about some people and the power within Elena.
The author's writing style is creative and the world building is great! You feel like you are in it as well.
The themes in the story such as bravery, hard decisions, forgiveness and love play a big role. I have soooooo many other things I want to say about The Vaga! But I just can’t without some spoilers for both The Kuthun & The Vaga xD.

I only have one issue with the book and that is why I didn't give it full 5 stars but 4.5. But this book series is worth reading! It got action, love, friendship, strong bond, awesome fight sequences, paranormal, supernatural, mystical creatures and LOT’S of humor ;D!
The Vaga was a quick read for me because I end up flipping the pages fast without realizing it!
I highly highly recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal, supernatural, love, mystery and action.

Thank you so so so much Sheree for letting me reading this awesome book series! I cannot wait to read book #3 The New Coming!

Book review:


I received the book from the author S. A. Carter and the group We ❤️ YA Books! In exchange for my honest review.
Thanks again for the chance! :D

I always been fascinated by witches and magic and this book deliver!
It's was fun, fast paced and quite enjoyable!

Elena was an awesome character to follow! She was smart, carrying, independent 16th years old girl with some kickass witch powers! I loved her very much ;D
I really liked her relationship with her uncle Jo, her dog Megi and her best friend Phoebs!

What I did miss was more of Elena's school life and the Venator.
A very cool elements to this story was time traveling! Omgosh I loved it so much! Getting back in time and see what Elena experienced it really felt like you were with her! S. A. Carter really got that though with her writing style ;) great job S. A!

There was SO many fun moment through the adventures between Elena and her uncle such as:

“Think Robert Pattinson in the throes of hunger, type of red,’ he says sarcastically, trying to lighten the mood.
I don’t smile. I start to feel sick again. I nod, not knowing what else to say. I wave them off as I head upstairs. Red eyes? Why the bloody hell would my eyes turn red? Am I turning into a vampire?”...

I was laughing out loud xD!

One thing that really had me hooked on this story was the non-romance in it!
I love YA book with romance but in this one I did not miss it AT ALL! It was cool just to read Elena growing up and learn who she was! Well DONE S. A!

Definitely read this book if you are a fan of witches, magic, time travel and just want to read a YA with no romance at first sight ;D.


  3.5/4 stars <3
