Below are book reviews I have written for books by my favorite author, Bryan Davis. Each review has made Five Stars in my opinion, as I thoroughly delighted in them all! I strongly encourage you to look into these books if you haven’t already! To persuade you a bit farther, here is the link to his book buying page! ~ http://www.daviscrossing.com/shopping.htm You can purchase all of his wonderful stories there.

Raising Dragons
Raising Dragons is the first book in the Dragons In Our Midst series. This book started a long journey for me. Three years ago a friend lent me this exciting book, and I have been part of its adventure ever since. Raising Dragons is filled with an exhilarating plot line, taking you through the struggles of two individuals as their dragon heritage keeps them on the run. Billy Bannister and Bonnie Silver display the ever important lesson of sacrifice. Billy's courage even through his doubts and Bonnie's faith even amidst her life's trials are inspiring! A beautiful masterpiece by Bryan Davis, this book opens a whole new world and has sent me on many quests of my own. I deeply encourage you to pick this book up, and begin the journey. You will not regret it!

Eye of the Oracle
Eye of the Oracle is the stunning prequel to the Dragons in Our Midst series by the talented author Bryan Davis. This book takes you through 609 pages of intense battles and the inner turmoil of those striving for faith. It begins in the days of old, incorporating dragons into the Biblical accounts of Noah's flood and the Tower of Babble. Whereas glimpses of the old and cherished characters are displayed in a few given chapters, new and delightful characters expertly open the doors for the Oracles of Fire series. You will find yourself coming to love these newly introduced characters, including the radiant Sapphira Adi and long lost Gabriel! The story was touching on so many levels, its author having woven his words deep into my heart. If you glance over this book, you will miss an adventure I am forever thankful I was part of.

The Bones of Makaidos
The Bones of Makaidos may be my favorite book of all time. It is full of epic battles, a touching romance, fiery trials, and the answer to the questions of many: What is an Oracle of Fire? The beautiful wedding reveals the benefits of purity, as the virgin bride and child of doubt come before the alter to join hands in marriage. Friends separated by time, distance, and even different dimensions are reunited. It offered a magnificent conclusion, with a "Happily Ever After" feel, yet emitted a bit of mystery, leaving room for a few more adventures. I was in tears by the end of the book, missing those characters who sacrificed their life along the journey of eight books, and so entirely happy for those characters who had kept the faith despite the trials and struggles they went through. Bryan Davis has created a wonderful, amazing, and all around beautiful story. He has helped me learn to become an Oracle of Fire. I highly recommend you continue the adventure of our beloved characters in this spectacular book.

Starlighter
Starlighter is the first book in the Dragons of Starlight series. Bryan Davis has composed another fantastic fantasy novel! I was held captive by the sway of the story from the beginning. This book holds a beautiful concept of love. Travel with Jason, Koren, and Elyssa as they are thrust into an adventure, caught between two worlds and the stories of the "lost ones." I remain excited to see what the next book has it store; this is an addition for all libraries, home or public, which will certainly be read many times over.

I have enjoyed all of these books tremendously! I certainly hope you shall find the same pleasure within their pages as I did.
