I read The Knight Trilogy: Complete Series (Book One, Two and Three) by Katie M. John. But I have decide that I wanted to review each book individually instead of as one book.

GOODREADS SYNOPSIS
The Forest of Adventures
For Mina Singer, falling in love with a knight on a white horse was never part of the plan.
Finding herself catapulted into fairyland she discovers that the Real World is not quite what she thought and fairyland is not quite what she imagined.
The question is... who will come out alive?
MY REVIEW
The Forest of Adventures
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Mina is a seventeen year old still in school and on the a-list. She has been studying real hard to keep her grades up so that she can go on to college. She wants to make a life for herself as well as have a career. Mina lives with her mother, Martha. Martha is the kind of parent that trusted Mina to go and come as she pleases. She has let Mina's boyfriend, Sam live with them because of his home life. Sam and Mina have been together for two years. Mina knows that she loves Sam but for some reason unknown to her she has not let Sam into her bed.
But when Mina meets Blake a knight of the Realm they fall instantly in love. After meeting Blake Mina begins to understand why she has never let Sam into her bed. She now knows that she has always loved Sam but like you would a brother. Martha doesn't approve of Blake but I think she is just partial to Sam. Or maybe she just likes Sam better for whatever reason. Martha never actually spent anytime with Blake long enough to know him.
Blake is an old fashion kind of guy. He will only hold Mina's hand, he won't kiss her because he says she doesn't belong to him. She belongs to Sam and will until she can end her relationship with him. That is a true and honest person right there now. He is really a shining knight in armour. Blake wants to do what is right for Mina as well as for Sam. He is thinking of someone else instead of himself. He is a guy that he will give up his own happiness so that he will not hurt some else and to do what is right or moral.
I really liked the person that Blake is. His ways, attitude, the things he believed in really made him stand out to me. He was always wanting to do the right thing. So yes this makes me "Team Blake". Sam is not a bad guy either. He understood and let Mina go when the time came for him to do so. If it upset him to let her go he never said a word about it. He kept it all to himself and never told anyone. What I don't get though is Mina's mother, Martha why did she not like Blake? Why did she never give him a chance? She trusted Mina enough to let her lead her own life. Why did she not trust her enough to know that Blake was the one meant to be with Mina and not Sam? I would like to have known more about Martha's feelings on this.

"Deeply moving, scary and thrilling, 'Immortal Beloved' is the compelling sequel to 'The Forest of Adventures."
MY REVIEW
Immortal Beloved
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Mina is lost in her own little world after losing her beloved Blake. She feels as if her heart has been torn from her body. But she struggles to regain her life without him while at the same time she is hurting from the pain that she knows that she must have caused Sam when their relationship ended so abruptly well to Sam that is how it must have felt.
But later Mina finds out that there is a way to save Blake. Sam, Mina and Delta has to go to Egypt on a quest to save him. But when they get their they find out only Mina can save Blake. Mina is one brave, strong girl to go through what she has to to save her one true love. The love Mina feels for Blake is very strong to do what she does to save him. Can you image loving someone that much? I know we all believe that we love our spouses or partners that much. I am one of those people who believes that I would do anything for my husband. But how can we ever know what we would do unless we have walked in someone elses shoes. And there is no way to walk in someone elses shoes because even though our stories may be similar they can never be the same. So therefore we can never know what someone else is going through or how they feel.
I love the way Sam goes on with his life after Mina ends their relationship. Sam and Delta have their own relationship. They love each other in their own way and really enjoy being together. Sam is such a nice guy in that he never holds it against Blake for taking the love of his life from him. Blake and Sam somehow put aside their differences and become friends. They probably do this for Mina because they both care so much for her.
I would like to have known more about Delta and her life. Who was she really? Who were her parents? Where did she live? What kind of life did she have? What made her the person that she is?
I loved how Mina loved Blake so much that she would and did put her life in danger to save him. But at the same time she still cared and loved Sam but in a different way. Mina was always thinking and putting someone elses feelings before her own.

MY REVIEW
Star Fire
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Now we come to the conclusion of The Knight Trilogy in Star Fire. Mina and Blake both have their own secrets. Secrets that they haven't even told each other much less anyone else. Blake has not told anyone what happen to him on his quest when he was close to dying. While Mina had to fight with a demon which would help her to save Blake's life.
When Mina's secret is revealed and the truth comes out about who or what she has become. Mina is arrested and taken to the mountains in Switzerland and locked up. Blake and Sam must go on a journey to the ancient magical forests of France. Blake is given one chance to save Mina's life. He must go and find The Holy Grail and bring it back with him to save her life. Will Blake find The Holy Grail? Can he make it back in time to save Mina?
Blake is given a certain amount of time to go and find The Holy Grail or Mina will die. The quest that he must make is a test of the mind and heart and not physical. He must remain strong and never forget his love for Mina.
Mean while Delta has her own little quest to make and things that she has to do in order to save Mina's life herself. Delta is one of the best friends that anyone could ever have. Is Delta strong enough to fight a demon to keep Mina alive? Can she actually do what is asked of her to save Mina? How many friends would do what she did and went through to save your life? I really loved how Mina, Blake, Sam and Delta cared for each other to do the things they did for each other. How they put the others feelings before their own. These four people were not selfish in any way. How many of us would love or do have friends like this?
