So I've been on here a while now, I'm a reader, I come and go, but there are some writers on this site that I love, they have a unique voice and capture the imagination of the reader from the go.

I'd like to recommend the following reads

1. Deshay of the Woods by Phil Partington - this is a fabulous read for lovers of fantasy, it's a little dark, it's deep, it's not the regular linear story and Phil has an excellent easy style of writing

2. To Slay a Dragon by J.C Rutledge - this is one of my favourites on this site, I can't believe it's not sub 100 let alone sub 1000! Smooth reading, great story-telling, easy to read but just so fresh it's unreal!

3. Tamria: Book One by James A Gravil - this has risen astronomically over the last month, and again, not hard to see why. The writer has a Gaiman esque way of placing the reader in the middle of the world and guiding you through his story - love it
http://www.authonomy.com/books/40806/tamria-book-one/

I'm cheating a bit now, I have 2 books up by the same author - they are so completely different and I'm astounded at her writing ability.

4. Chaeli: Scion of Blood by Kara Thrace - this is dark fantasy, the pace is blistering, the multiple points of view crafted to perfection and the story complex but ... simple? Definitely one to watch
http://www.authonomy.com/books/40444/chaeli-scion-of-blood-/

5. Anna by Kara Thrace - the cover caught my attention, I read the first chapter, then the second and before I knew it I'd read it all! This is heavy going, but Kara deals with the grotesque behaviours of an abuser with skill and sensitivity. I'm still a little in awe of this book.

Please everyone, if you get a chance to check out any of these books - you won't regret it.

Definitely back To Slay a Dragon. It's been on my shelf before, and probably will be again!

So you should! I'm very picky: but I love both these books and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Some interesting recommendations here. I will try and look at them.

I featured both of Kara Thrace's books on the same day. They are great!
