You Will Believe
ANYTHING, AND EVERYTHING, IS POSSIBLE IN THESE WORLDS.
Dive into the deepest ocean, soar through the open sky; wield the power of fire, of earth; become the tempest. In A.L. Knorr’s bestselling young adult fantasy, strong female protagonists inherit, or re-claim, their birthright.
If you love cinematic stories filled with adventure, friendship, magic and clean romance, you’ll love these books. While each of the series can stand alone, for full enjoyment it is recommended to start with The Elemental Origins Series.

Describing Abby’s writing is hard. It’s a feeling, like putting on a comfy sweater that makes you feel good all over!! Her speech is sophisticated and yet down to earth, none of the exaggerated teen speak I have found in other YA books. Her worlds come to life and I get totally immersed in their reality and the characters. The end of a book is always filled with great sadness, since there will have to be a wait for the next one.

Welcome to the continent of Ivryndi, where flora and fauna magic reign, and an unseelie prince with a mysterious power threatens it all. If you love stories steeped in the beauty of nature, slow-burn romance, and endearing characters (including a whole cast of insects and mammals) you'll never forget, enter the dreamy otherworld of The Scented Court. Note: A Star of Darkness is a standalone story set a couple of years after the events of the main series.
Incredibly Amazing: I’m still open-mouthed…what a ride, what brilliant story. Reaching the end of this wonderful roller coaster didn’t cease the impact created by this narrative. An original story, written like a painting, a sensory one… I love the way Abby describe each setting, the poetry embedded in each scene, the supporting characters, and the originality of the story. I’m enchanted by it. A book to read a thousand times.

Exciting Journey: The Kacy Chronicles are a set of beautifully written books. The authors’ did a wonderful job creating the world these books take place in. Their descriptions captured my attention and made Jordan and Sol’s tale come to life. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed getting know each of them. If you love discovering new words, solving mysteries, action with a bit of romance I think you might enjoy Jordan and Sol’s tale as well.
