Hollywood Holiday by Sasha Summers
Title: Hollywood Holiday Rating: Genre: Romance Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: December 7, 2012 Review: I’m not usually into romance, but it seems I’ve been tapping into my inner girly-girl recently. I was intrigued from the get-go – I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone who was terrified of flying. But then Jen meets seriously hot guy, Gunner Foster. What I liked: As a contemp, the story flowed really well. Sasha created a world without dry spots and stuck to realism, for the most part. Jen, as a protagonist, was easy to get along with. Jen was the kind of … Continue reading

Valley of Dust
Title: Valley of Dust Author: Karoleen Vry Brucks Genre: Supernatural, Romance, Drama Publisher: Xlibris Corporation Release Date: August 7, 2012 Review: Valley of Dust receives 1 star. This is not an easy review for me. I had very high hopes for this book, but I wasn’t too far in when I knew that this book was going nowhere. I’ve read so many books in my lifetime. Some are great, some may have a great storyline while not particularly well written and some are just bad. Valley of Dust unfortunately falls into the last category and for a multitude of reasons. … Continue reading

Review: The Lurking Man (Book 2 in Thanatology Series by @Keithrommel )
Title: The Lurking Man (Book 2 in Thanatology Series) Author: Keith Rommel Genre: Drama, Horror Publisher: Sunbury Press, Inc. Release Date: September 6, 2012 Rating: Review: The Lurking Man is a much different book than what I am used to reading. I have never picked up anything that makes me take the main character, Cailean, and compare her life to my own. I found myself thinking I was here in certain aspects. I’m not an alcoholic or anything of the sort; but it made me look back at my own life and at the choices I’ve made. Ok enough about … Continue reading

Interview with @CheleaFine author of ANEW!
1. How did you come up with the idea of a semi-immortal? I wanted my character, Scarlet, to keep dying and coming back to life, but since she was human (and not half-angel or part-god or anything) I had to make up some new rules. Most semi-immortals are children with one mortal parent and one immortal parent. Not Scarlet. Scarlet is semi-immortal because of a mishap with a hot guy, his immortal blood, and a cursed arrow that pierced her heart five hundred years ago. (Darn those hot, immortal mishaps! They’ll getcha every time.) I wanted Scarlet’s semi-immortal state to … 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. I have very mixed feelings about this book and will explain why later in the review. A family that hasn’t been united in four years is about to get a reunion. 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

Broken City by D.D. Chant
Title: Broken City Rating: ★★★★ Genre: YA / Dystopia Publisher: Smashwords Release Date: February 7, 2011 Review: Twenty-year-old Deeta Richards has a lot to deal with. She’s young and unmarried, though she cares for her siblings as well as the unofficially adopted children of her best friend, Tom, and Professor Jepson. I love well-done dystopia and Broken City was one of those books I couldn’t put down. What I Loved: 1. Okay, so I love a realistic romance, not one of those wishy-washy, cry your heart out, type teenage romances that seem all too common. Deeta has an unspoken love … Continue reading

After Ever by Jillian Eaton
After Ever starts as a fresh and feisty novel that caught my attention from the get-go. Winnie, the protagonist, has a sharp tongue and an even sharper inner monologue that sets her apart from the other, somewhat generic female leads and this is what made this story interesting. Her dislike for her dad’s girlfriend brought some humour to what, essentially, were pretty dire circumstances. Girlfriend #3 is a bad excuse for a step mother and it’s Winnie that plays guardian to her little brother, Brian. When her dad takes the family off for a winter holiday, Winnie can think of … Continue reading

The Boar King by Michael Evans
Title: The Boar King Rating: Author: Michael Evans Genre: Drama/Suspense/Thriller/Tragedy Release Date: June 20, 2012 Review: Wow when a book takes you in, sometimes your mind finds itself building the world around what you’re reading. It certainly did in this case. Think Lord of the Rings meets Narnia, but the creatures are not kind. The Kingdom of Demos thought they were safe and strong. Sometimes with confidence comes ignorance. King Jayson found this out the hard way. Introduce his sons who wish to stand up for their father, the King, just to be laughed at. Then the children (all of … Continue reading
