A Myrmaid's Kiss
"This is high fantasy at its best." –Jwitt33, NetGalley
"I absolutely loved Ashleigh Bello's blending of fantasy, a Hunger Games-like scenario, and adventure. This is a well-written book that is literally 'unputdownable.' It was so much fun discovering things that had been laid out for future revelation from the beginning. An awesome book by a truly talented writer!" –Maureen Dangarembizi, Readers' Favorite
Belvedor and the Four Corners
“Each book is so good. Great world-building. I feel like I'm reading another LOTR [Lord of the Rings] epic story.” – RainStorms, Amazon
“One word - brilliant! Fantastic characters and amazing world-building. Book 1 was great but book 2 was better. You really care for our four main characters, but as others come and go throughout the book you can't but wonder who is safe. Fantasy with a slight dystopian feel that can be brutal ...” –Connie, Amazon
