The End Of Me by Tara Brown
Summary His death was almost the end of me. He was still everywhere, surrounding me. In our children’s eyes, in the smell lingering in our bed, in candy bar wrappers stuffed down the side of the minivan driver door. He was everywhere except where I needed him to be. In my arms, kissing my lips, on the name of the deed to our house. When his death didn’t end me, the proposal from the man who owned every moment of my life, did. My husband carried on in the places he wanted to be but I was gone the moment … Continue reading

Shaman, Sister, Sorceress by M. Terry Green
Title: Shaman, Sister, Sorceress Rating: Author: M. Terry Green Genre: Adult/Urban Fantasy/Supernatural Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Release Date: September 28, 2012 Review: This is the third book in the Olivia Lawson, Techno-Shaman series. I read and enjoyed the first two installments, and I would highly recommend reading the series from the beginning before starting this one. I really enjoy this author’s writing style. Her lead character Livvy is terrific, and she has a real talent for vividly portraying alternate worlds – in this case, the multiverse. As the title of the series implies, Livvy is a shaman who must … Continue reading

Title: Trouganda – Silver Tears Book 1 Rating: Author: Daniel J. Strait Genre: Adult/Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Adventure Publisher: Outskirts Press Release Date: September 26, 2012 Review: I was really looking forward to reading this book. The premise sounded intriguing: a science fiction adventure that follows the life of a young girl with a prophetic birthmark through her training in the deadly arts and her ability to become invisible until she must pass her final test among the dangers and wonders of Trouganda.

5 Stars for One Night with a Hero
5 STARS – Count ‘em Here’s the thing I’ve learned this past year about Laura Kaye – do not start one of her books when it’s bedtime because the next thing you know, it’s 2 am and you’ve finished.

To date, I haven’t been disappointed with anything Laura’s published. It’s such a comfort to know you’re going to get quality writing when one of her books lands in your hand. So … Continue reading
Operation Cinderella by Hope Tarr

While, Macie was busy integrating herself into the lives of Ross and his teenage daughter, Sam, they were falling hopelessly in love with a lie. When the truth is finally told, the aftershock just isn’t there for it all to make sense. I teetered between three and four stars throughout the story. The romance and fireworks – definitely there. The consequence for the utmost deception falls … Continue reading
Meet Rachel Lyndhurst – You might just fall in love!
We are very excited to host Rachel Lyndhurst today! We had a nice sit down and chat with her, here’s what she had to say. The Readiacs: Are your works based on someone you know or events in your life? Rachel: No particular characters are based on someone I know, that would be asking for trouble! However it’s difficult not to pick up on interesting traits or characteristics when they arise and store them away for future use. The stories I write are complete works of fiction, but I’ve been lucky enough to do some of the things my characters … Continue reading

The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride by @RachelLyndhurst
The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride - Been caught stealing – that is what came to mind when I started reading The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride because that is how Ricardo Almanza met Helen Marshall – he thought she was stealing, which lead me to believe she was a high society thief and this uber rich man was going to get sucked into her devious web. Nope. Helen is his stepmother’s girl Thursday – or cocktail maker who quickly catches the eye of the dapper Almanza. When he offers Helen a ride home to her ghetto apartment an idea takes form. … Continue reading

The Serpent’s bite
Title: The Serpent’s Bite Author: Warren Adler Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Suspense Publisher: Stonehouse Press Release Date: September 4, 2012 Review: The Serpent’s Bite earns 3 stars, though it could have been 5.

You would think that this would be a pleasant event, but it does not turn out that way. They will be repeating a trek in Yellowstone Park that summons happy memories for the whole family, but a … Continue reading
