Jeramiah Poe isn't just any character in the Realm of Fiction; he is Muse Master-Destiny Diviner-Mysterious Miskriat. Being of neither the Traditional Genre Provinces nor Independent, Poe enjoys an eternal lease on life, so long as his Scribbler keeps him out of publication. Poe meets Kane, a seven-year-old boy from the Independent Horror Province, where he learns ancient codes are being broken and the horror that should be an act, is real. But the evil clutching Octava is not new and Seven Arks have been sent to Earth to stop it. Only something has gone wrong and Poe is commissioned as the 8th Ark of Octava to discover what has become of the Seven. But his passage to Earth comes with revelations he's not prepared for. Not only does his Scribbler not know of his existence, he's a she that his human form seems allergic to. Poe soon realizes that with each Ark he locates, his powers grow along with his feelings for the Scribbler. And the enemy will try and use both to gain control of the two realms.… (més)

This was the last book by this author that hadn't read yet. I was eager to jump into it as I loved all his other books.. I'm not a fantasy reader at all and did take me some time to get into it. I'm so glad that I pushed through it and fell in love with it!! This book was out of the box and nothing at all what I usually read. It's opened me up to a whole other genre... Can't wait for the next book in this series! ( )

Well, hot damn! That was a FRESH and wonderfully crafted tale. I had to spend a few days to formulate my thoughts on this one, figuring out how to put into words the FEELINGS marked into my heart and seeped into my soul after travelling in, and then out, of Poe’s universe. What sort of book was this? Well, it’s a mix of fantasy, adventure, and a sprinkling of romance thrown in as a wonderful and unexpected surprise.

If you love a good fantasy, and a story where the boundaries between worlds collide, then this is the take-me-away-adventure for you. The story reminds me of children walking through a wardrobe and stumbling into a magical world where a lion is king, of a precious girl sliding down a rabbit hole where nothing is what it seems, or a land where the magic of dreams comes alive for a boy and his flying ‘dog?’

In the Scribbler Guardian, heroes are front and center and the villains are very real, and oh so malevolent, yet understated in such a way as to make them even more vile. Such vibrant characters come to life in this book, it makes you stop … PAUSE … and go ‘Wait…could this in fact be real?’ Is it happening now?

That is the true wonder behind the gifted storytelling on these pages … The magic of this book is once you’re a few chapters in, you may just begin to believe the very premise behind the entire captivating world. As a novelist myself, I know I will never again write the same way again. The characters speaking to me to write their stories have always been alive to me, but now they have a home…PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK! They are ALIVE and BREATHE within the world of Octava.

So, let’s talk about some of those characters…

Let’s speak about Jeremiah Poe, the Master Muse Rider, a character who remains true to his Scribbler’s incarnation from beginning to end, and yet even then is capable of an intensity of growth and self-expression. He is a protector, a badass in his creation, he takes his role seriously, and endowed with the physical attributes of an alpha male, imbued with incredibly powerful sex appeal…an unexpected side effect of his Scribbler when he was created. Poe tackles his task with a single-minded determination, never once wavering from his goal, even when faced with an impossible and unwanted ending. He defends those weaker than himself, and it is in his interactions with the supporting characters where we see the soul created for Jeremiah Poe truly shine. His innocence is real. His sexiness is off the charts hot. The combination makes for some seriously explosive scenes.

Jeremiah Poe had me in awe from page one through the end, and yet there was another who stole the show from time to time. Kane, a cute and amazing genius-child from the Horror Province, brings all of Poe’s protective instincts to the forefront. When Poe learns Kane is experiencing true, horrific acts within his story, pain that shouldn’t be real in Octava, Poe is led on a journey to save this wonderful child.

The journey Poe and Kane take leads them directly to Poe’s creator, his Scribbler, a god-like figure who he reveres. Charlotte, a wonderfully funny and flawed woman, has one thing in common with the character she created but never finished writing. They both hate the messiness of romance… which sets up a wonderful romantic subplot to follow. For a woman who despises all things feminine and a man who believes love is a contagion, the path the two of them travel is wonderfully creative and magnificent, and steamy, dreamy, hot.

And, yet, there is a bad guy out there…and Poe is on a quest, one he cannot accomplish without the aid of Kane. Charlotte helps too; assisting Poe and Kane in their search, she navigates the foreign landscape of Earth. The three of them work together…most of the time.

The Scribbler Guardian has something for everyone … Fantasy … Adventure … Romance … Humor … a touch of Horror … and tons of fun. I felt transported into another realm. The kid in me enjoyed the fantasy. The hopeless romantic fawned over the steamy alpha male, and the action adventurer cheered the team closer to the final goal…

I would highly recommend this FIVE STAR book!
