Sally Ann Melia caught me totally off guard with this awesome story of two young boys lives, in the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series.
I have read and reviewed the first book, Kidnap, and fell in love with it., so now I am sharing Exile, Part III in the series. You can see my review for Kidnap HERE and my review for Hunter HERE.

MY REVIEW
Spoiler Alert: Even though Exile is Part Three of the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series, I have tried to keep my comments general to keep from giving away any of the goodies contained between the pages.
Exile is Part Three of the Guy Erma and the Son of Empire series. If you are a fan of action and adventure with some science fiction thrown in, this is a series for you. Each book picks up where the other left off. I was fortunate enough to receive Hunter and Exile before I was done with Kidnap, so I was able to continue reading this fantastic series.
The artwork by Sally Dickson will help you see things as they really are, whether it be a character or one of the creatures. We have both probably watched some of the same movies that help to visualize the world and some of the action sequences Sally Ann Melia has created.
I love the combination of fashion, politics and thrills. At times I cannot help but smile and sometimes a chuckle passes over my lips. At least the characters will be fashionable dressed while they are fighting.
Each boy contributes a vital component that brings them together as friends and leaders.
My mother is visiting from out of state and I was very bad. I ignored her so I could finish this series and I loved it.
Kids of all ages will love meeting Teo, Guy, Des and Sebastian. I had characters that I rooted for and characters that I wanted to get what’s coming to them. Sounds like real life.
I find myself lost in the world of Freyna and want to return there as soon as possible. I was lucky enough to have all three of these, but now I have to wait. 😥 How many books will there be? When is the next one due out? Inquiring minds want to know.
I received Exile by Sally Ann Melia in return for an honest review.
5 Stars

Thanks for visiting fundinmental!
I’m guilty of ignoring people while reading too. It’s so hard to put down a good book. It calls to me and I can’t concentrate on anything else because I have to know what happens next. Great review, Sherry!
Thanks, Taylor. Nice to see you back from your vacay and making the rounds. 🙂
When I’m reading, I think a hurricane could blow through and I’d only notice if the power went out. LOL I can’t wait to read these. I grabbed the first book and will be grabbing the others. Will check out your review afterwards.
