<br/><h2>Pan a Neverland novel Book 1 edition by Gina L Maxwell Literature Fiction eBooks</h2>
Wow. I am speechless in the very best way! Gina Maxwell has created her own kind of magic with Pan. She masterfully takes a story we all know so well and brings it to the present. Adding a sexy touch combined with all the feels that has me over the top addicted to her words. Who knew Peter Pan and his Lost Boys could make me swoon? I am completely in love and am very thankful more is to come.<br /><br />Pan is beyond clever. Maxwell is seamless in her combination of the world of Neverland and current life as we all know it. Peter and his 'family', including one very feisty Tink(erbell) own a garage and are stopped in their tracks as Wendy Darling comes back into their lives after many years apart. We get alternating POVs together with both past and present to understand how Pan and Wendy met, fell for one another and eventually separated as their lives went in different directions. But it's the love, the memories of how a group of orphaned misfits found some hope in a girl who didn't want for anything, that drive this story. In spite of all the time not together, I loved that Wendy held her own and fell into step with Peter and his men like she never left.<br /><br />The way Maxwell took beloved characters from this timeless tale and made not only their names but their personalities current, is brilliant. From Hook to the despicable Croc to Michael and John, glimpses of the Peter Pan I know are there and you can't help but smile at the similarities and how Maxwell beautifully twisted the story to make it her own.<br /><br />Time spent with Peter and Wendy is filled with an amazing chemistry as these two can't take their eyes off of each other and find themselves closer to being together for good this time. Their passion is off the charts hot and their sexual trysts had me fanning myself more than once. This is NOT your childhood Peter Pan. Hell no, this 2019 version is exceptionally sexy yet is amazingly full of an abundance of tenderness and delicate feelings as past memories are never far from anyone's mind.<br /><br />To say I adored this book in an understatement. It is fresh and different and truly enchanting. I applaud Gina Maxwell for creating a new Neverland that is as exciting and spellbinding as the one I remember from my youth. Extremely well-written and charming beyond belief, I give Pan a HUGE 5+++ stars!<br/>

<h2>Pan a Neverland novel Book 1 edition by Gina L Maxwell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews</h2><br/>
That is the best way I can describe this new Peter Pan story. An amazing retelling fan fiction. I know you must have a great imagination to be a writer of fiction. With Pan, Gina L. Maxwell used her greatest imagination and created a world using parts of the original fairytale, while adding her own twist, and making a new, fun story that flows perfectly together. In Pan we see original characters, meet new ones, and see their adult lives. We get a continuation of Peter and Wendy's relationship, starting from children pretending to be mother and father to the Lost Boys to lovers as adults.<br /><br />Gina's Peter Pan is a perfect mix of the young boy who only wanted to find new and fun adventures and a responsible adult. I love that her adult Pan kept certain characteristics of the young, carefree, confident, adventure seeking Peter, and grew up having loyalties and responsibilities that suited him and the life he made for himself.<br /><br />Same with her Wendy Darling. Ever the young lady as in the original fairytale, and just like in the fairytale, Peter was able to bring her out of her proper life style and have fun adventures with him. Gina was able to make a new character while keeping how she saw the original.<br /><br />I also loved the retelling/re-meeting of the Lost Boys and Tink, as well the Hook and his band of pirates. Pan is a great set up for Gina's upcoming stories for those secondary characters, that I CANNOT wait for. She hints at mystery and suspense with the introduction of new possible couples. I think I'm most excited for Tink's story, as she is my favorite in the original tale. But as for *this* new story of Peter Pan, HE is definitely my favorite character.<br /><br />Hook's Book is next, scheduled to come out this April.<br />Tink's is third, out this Summer.<br /><br />I honestly cannot think of anything I'd complain about. Pan has a fantastic mix of swoon worthy, sweet laugh out loud moments, but also has its share of sadness, a touch wonder and worry, and the grown up responsibilities. And like I said above, Gina did an AH-mazing job at mixing in the original story and characters with her new, modern version. Definitely a FIVE STAR read.<br /><br />FIVE STARS TO PAN'S STORY AND STRAIGHT ON TO HOOK'S. ( As soon as it comes out >.0 )<br/>
This is a brilliant retelling of the iconic Peter Pan story complete with all the wonderful characters. The Lost Boys, Hook, Wendy Darling and of course Tinkerbell and Tiger Lilly to name a few. They will each get their own story in this series, in a contemporary setting and definitely an adult fairy tale!<br /><br />Wendy and Peter meet when they are twelve. The Darling‘s live in London, North Carolina, while Peter lives in nearby Neverland at the School for Lost Boys of Neverland. He likes to sneak out at night, and heard a mother telling her children “bedtime stories” while he was hiding under a balcony. He’s never heard of them, but loved listening and brought the stories home to the boys. He manages to speak to Wendy one night under her balcony and they become best friends until they are both seventeen and it becomes so much more. Wendy wants to go to college, and have Peter come with her, but he can’t leave the boys and his dreams of taking care of them. So they separate, each with a broken heart. Ten years later she is back, hoping to reconnect with Peter for a lot of reasons, but she needs his help on a new venture.<br /><br />The chapters vary between Wendy and Peter, past and present. They want to find a way to be together, the friendship they had has turned to love. Even with others trying to interfere and break them, they find a way to stay strong. The romance, the characters, and the mix of fairy tale and contemporary made this book impossible to put down. I even ended up reading it a second time as I was doing my review. This is going on my list for a favorite of 2019, and I’m anxiously awaiting Hook’s story.<br /><br />I would like to thank the publisher and author for allowing me to read and review this book. I also purchased this book for my own enjoyment.<br/>

<br/><h2>MEM Bethany C Morrow Books</h2>
This was profoundly beautiful!!! 😍😍😍<br /><br />A historical speculative fiction novel set in Montreal in the early 1900s.

At once they realize that Dolore Extract #1 is unique in comparison to other mems.<br /><br />There are times when the line between what she is remembering from her past is blurred with the present, which can makes things bit confusing. I feel this was used by the author to mimic the stream of consciousness that so often allows our past memories to be woven into our present experience. So as confusing as it sometimes is, it was done with regard to showing the realness of our main character.<br /><br />This is a story about what it means to be human, and how our memories create this resonance of emotion that cannot just be wiped away by forgetting.<br /><br />It was so short though, and while it was fittingly short, I wish for just a bit more as this book has left me with a craving<br/>

<h2>MEM Bethany C Morrow Books Reviews</h2><br/>
MEM is a contemplative speculative novel about 'memory extraction' in the early 20th century Montreal. In turns, I found this novel about how the rich and wealthy rid themselves of disturbing memories by having them removed into replicas called 'Mems' an intriguing concept, a thought piece on how our memories shape us. The evocative setting of Montreal at the turn of the last century, an island in the middle of technological revolution gone slightly awry, helped make the novel strange and wonderful-- as did the main character Dolores/Elsie a 'Mem,' who is the one Mem more than her memory. I do wish that there were more commentary on race and class (this author even addresses the lack of it in an end note -- it's clearly not the novel she wanted to write). Morrow has written a slim novel filled with some big ideas of how memory shapes us, even makes us strong, and certainly, makes us human<br/>
I loved this book and its unique voice. I can't wait for more from this author!<br/>
A wonderful example of urban sci-fi. Mem asks the question “just because we can do something, should we?”<br/>
It was a short book but as other reviewers said, it raises many important questions about memories, trauma and compartmentalization. While the stream-of-consciousness style narrative may be hard for some to follow, it all comes together in a beautiful and satisfying end.<br/>
I'm giving this book three stars because of its imaginative premise that memories can take on a life of their own. However, the story never really gets off the ground. The writer's purpose in setting the action in the 1920s remains mysterious to me; the setting plays no real part in the development and creates a distance that's exacerbated by the overblown prose ("Had they not already evaporated in the still air, my words would have turned tail and hurried back to me"), characters who come across as actors in a period melodrama, and a superschmaltz ending cribbed from Dr Who. A shame, because the idea has real potential.<br/>
This is a cool, thought provoking sci-fi. I tend to read before I go to sleep, and I wish I'd read this book when my mind was fresh and alert. Need to reread to catch all of the nuance I missed. This reminded me of a historical fiction episode of Black Mirror. It's not a long book, but it is packed full and not as fast of a read as I expected it to be. Can't wait to see more from this author.<br/>
What experiences make us who we are? And who do we become if we remove the memories of those experiences? For those who are concerned this is another take of "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" fear not. This take on the process of removing old memories delves into who we are as a society, who we are as people, and who we are to others outside that society, all with the backdrop of the glittering 1920s and 30s. It's a stunning feat to explore societal failings and personal triumphs and morals so explicitly within so short a novel, and to do it with prose that never feels rushed. Indeed, though the page count is shorter, this novel allows the reader to breathe with the memories, rather than rushed and crammed together. I don't want to give any spoilers away so I'll leave my review at that. This was a delightful find, and I'm so glad I picked it up on a whim. It's a memory I certainly want to preserve.<br/>

<br/><h2>GENTRY BOYS Books 14 edition by Cora Brent Literature Fiction eBooks</h2>
WOW…what an amazing deal!! I read each of these books and they were all 5 star reads for me…so I will quickly run down each one.<br /><br />DRAW: Cord, Chase and Creed Gentry were like the unholy trinity of wild bad boy triplets growing up in their small town...the girls lusted after them, the town feared them and they were completely abused and discarded like old furniture by their own parents.<br />Saylor was a sweet, too-trusting young woman who had a history with these boys (Cord took something very precious from her one day and it haunted her when she left to start a new life) but nothing could have prepared her for the abuse she would suffer from an unlikely person who was NOT one of the low-life Gentry men, but someone she should have been able to trust.<br />When Saylor escapes and runs back to the safety of her cousin and BFF Bray, she is forced to confront the demons from her past and in that hell she finds out that the love of her life is standing right in front of her. I really liked the believability factor in this book...no insta-love, they had mature reactions to traumatic situations and I especially liked how a very serious problem that could have had a horrible impact on many characters, was resolved in an awesome conclusion.<br />RISK: Where do I even begin to express how much I loved this book...it was dark, beautiful, heart-breaking and hit home with me on so many levels.<br />When I first met the Gentry triplets (Cord, Creed and Chase) in Draw, they were everything a girl could want (or really shouldn't want) in a boyfriend. They were like a sexy bad-boy tag-team of muscles and brawn all rolled into a package of heat...you want one Gentry boy, you get them all...a package deal for any girl lucky enough to have a night of no-strings fun. To quote the author they were " head-turning triplets that hatched somewhere in the desert and then descended upon humanity like a plague of testosterone"...LOL...I couldn't have said it any better! This was Creed and Truly’s story and both of them suffered from childhoods lacking in nurturing and loving parents, so it was understandable to me that they acted out (Creed in violence and sexual escapades and Truly with her own string of men and various relationships that went nowhere).<br />I found myself so engrossed in their emotionally charged stories that I was brought to tears more than a few times, and it was hard to just read this book without tensing up and fearing the results of what obstacles lay ahead for them. A life and death situation threatens the happiness and future of the brothers as well as the women they love, and when all is said and done, the risk for what "could be" in the future outweighs the present predicament they must all fight through to the end.<br />GAME: Cora Brent's storytelling has taken on a more mature tone with this book...don't get me wrong, it is still funny as hell in parts, steamy and sexy beyond belief (the Vegas elevator and hotel room scenes will stick with me for a while) and has that playful, fast-paced banter that makes reading her books so addictive. It also touches on the subject of addiction...which comes in many forms, from sex to drugs to gambling and how some people are born with addiction in their make-up, while others are able to overcome the urges and not be affected by hereditary or their environment growing up. Chase desperately wished for a relationship with his mother, while Stephanie lost her father to a lifestyle he could not control. I loved that both Chase and Stephanie were complex and interesting individuals...one could be dirty and lustful in one breath and then sweet and honorable in the next, while the other was emotionally fragile yet so loyal and loving at the same time and together they were exactly what each other needed and a strong force to be reckoned with.<br />FALL: We first met Jenny in Promise Me (Defiant MC book #2) when she was rescued from the cult and brought to her sister for safe keeping. Jenny was only 16 in that book and was sent to live with her brother in California where she went to school and was given a chance to somewhat "heal" from her injuries, both emotional and physical. When Fall begins, Jenny is 19 and finds herself stranded at a bar, garnering the unwanted attention of some creeps, when Declan Gentry swoops in to save the day.<br />Deck is a dark and dreamy bad-boy with a heart of gold...just as you should not judge a book by its cover...you also can not judge this man by his outward appearance.<br />I loved Deck...ever since he took on the role of protector to his triplet cousins both growing up and even more so now that they are all settled with the loves of their lives at 23 years old. I really loved the patience and care taken to develop their relationship over time...there was no wham bam jump in the sack for these two...although OMG the foreplay and flirtatious teasing between Deck and Jenny was mega watt HOT and when they finally realize their feelings for each other (and seal the deal), it was truly explosive passion.<br />We learn a whole lot more about the Gentry triplets heartbreaking childhood as well as some dropped bombs of possible big secrets that could impact the future...but for now, enjoy this really sweet and sexy and emotionally charged romance with cameos from some much beloved characters from the Gentry Boys and Defiant MC series.<br />HOLD: Finally…enjoy a sneak peek into more of Cord and Saylor as they keep the romance alive after becoming parents to two adorable girls. It’s funny, sweet, sexy and reminds us that under the tats and tough guy exterior, Cord is a loving husband and father. I can’t wait to read the whole book when it releases!<br />***** 5 ***** “a delicious 4-pack of sexy men and their loves” stars<br/>

<h2>GENTRY BOYS Books 14 edition by Cora Brent Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews</h2><br/>
I purchased this set GENRTY BOYS BOOKS 1 to 4 in July 2017 and for the life of me I cannot say what took me so long to read it. But once I started I could not put it down. Cord, Chase and Creed had me up several nites and days rooting for them and holding my breath in anticipation of the next calamity. It had me wondering how parents could be so cruel but I think in the end they had me standing and cheering for each of them. A roller coaster of a ride but truly worth reading!<br/>
Absolutely loved the Gentry Boys!<br /><br />DRAW<br />In this book we meet the 3 Triplet Brothers Cord, Creed, and Chase as well as their Uncle Deck. This book is Cord and Saylor's love story. Unfortunately Cord and Saylor have some negative issues from the past they must face to move towards a future. Cord is Smokin Hot and 100% Alpha Male.<br /><br />RISK<br />This book is Creed and Truly's love story. Truly has issues to work through from her past just as Creed does. They have a special love story that will touch your heart. Creed has unbelievable sex apeal and the voice that melt your panties.<br /><br />GAME<br />This book is Chase and Stephanie's love story. Stephanie faces some very hard times throughout this book it's heartbreaking what she endured. Chase is by Stephanie's side as she works through her hard times. Chase is a HOT, Intelligent, Alpha male.<br /><br />FALL<br />Early on in this series we meet the triplets Uncle Deck. This book is Declan and Jenny's love story. Jenny has been raised backwards from the norm of most people and is a "pure/good girl". Deck is foul mouth, tatted up, Harley riding pure Alpha Male. This one just might be my favorite out of the 4. I loved watching Deck fall for Jenny.<br /><br />The Steamy Scenes in all 4 book were OFF THE CHARTS. Each couples chemistry was phenomenal. Each book had me hooked from the first sentence to the last one. You are to see what is going on with the previous couple in the following books.<br/>
The Gentry boys centers around the triplets---Chase, Cord, and Creed with an added bonus of Deck. Each of them has terrible memories of their childhood, and believe all they have is each other. One by one they meet their intended mates, each with problems of their own. I thought this was a really good story and the only reason I took off one star was because I thought the dwelling on their past lives in relation to their father was a bit overdone.<br /><br />But how each couple works through their problems was the high point for me. You can hardly go wrong with this book. By the way there is explicit sexual content for those that don't care for such things.<br/>
WOW…what an amazing deal!! I read each of these books and they were all 5 star reads for me…so I will quickly run down each one.<br /><br />DRAW Cord, Chase and Creed Gentry were like the unholy trinity of wild bad boy triplets growing up in their small town...the girls lusted after them, the town feared them and they were completely abused and discarded like old furniture by their own parents.<br />Saylor was a sweet, too-trusting young woman who had a history with these boys (Cord took something very precious from her one day and it haunted her when she left to start a new life) but nothing could have prepared her for the abuse she would suffer from an unlikely person who was NOT one of the low-life Gentry men, but someone she should have been able to trust.<br />When Saylor escapes and runs back to the safety of her cousin and BFF Bray, she is forced to confront the demons from her past and in that hell she finds out that the love of her life is standing right in front of her. I really liked the believability factor in this book...no insta-love, they had mature reactions to traumatic situations and I especially liked how a very serious problem that could have had a horrible impact on many characters, was resolved in an awesome conclusion.<br />RISK Where do I even begin to express how much I loved this book...it was dark, beautiful, heart-breaking and hit home with me on so many levels.<br />When I first met the Gentry triplets (Cord, Creed and Chase) in Draw, they were everything a girl could want (or really shouldn't want) in a boyfriend. They were like a sexy bad-boy tag-team of muscles and brawn all rolled into a package of heat...you want one Gentry boy, you get them all...a package deal for any girl lucky enough to have a night of no-strings fun. To quote the author they were " head-turning triplets that hatched somewhere in the desert and then descended upon humanity like a plague of testosterone"...LOL...I couldn't have said it any better! This was Creed and Truly’s story and both of them suffered from childhoods lacking in nurturing and loving parents, so it was understandable to me that they acted out (Creed in violence and sexual escapades and Truly with her own string of men and various relationships that went nowhere).<br />I found myself so engrossed in their emotionally charged stories that I was brought to tears more than a few times, and it was hard to just read this book without tensing up and fearing the results of what obstacles lay ahead for them. A life and death situation threatens the happiness and future of the brothers as well as the women they love, and when all is said and done, the risk for what "could be" in the future outweighs the present predicament they must all fight through to the end.<br />GAME Cora Brent's storytelling has taken on a more mature tone with this book...don't get me wrong, it is still funny as hell in parts, steamy and sexy beyond belief (the Vegas elevator and hotel room scenes will stick with me for a while) and has that playful, fast-paced banter that makes reading her books so addictive. It also touches on the subject of addiction...which comes in many forms, from sex to drugs to gambling and how some people are born with addiction in their make-up, while others are able to overcome the urges and not be affected by hereditary or their environment growing up. Chase desperately wished for a relationship with his mother, while Stephanie lost her father to a lifestyle he could not control. I loved that both Chase and Stephanie were complex and interesting individuals...one could be dirty and lustful in one breath and then sweet and honorable in the next, while the other was emotionally fragile yet so loyal and loving at the same time and together they were exactly what each other needed and a strong force to be reckoned with.<br />FALL We first met Jenny in Promise Me (Defiant MC book #2) when she was rescued from the cult and brought to her sister for safe keeping. Jenny was only 16 in that book and was sent to live with her brother in California where she went to school and was given a chance to somewhat "heal" from her injuries, both emotional and physical. When Fall begins, Jenny is 19 and finds herself stranded at a bar, garnering the unwanted attention of some creeps, when Declan Gentry swoops in to save the day.<br />Deck is a dark and dreamy bad-boy with a heart of gold...just as you should not judge a book by its cover...you also can not judge this man by his outward appearance.<br />I loved Deck...ever since he took on the role of protector to his triplet cousins both growing up and even more so now that they are all settled with the loves of their lives at 23 years old. I really loved the patience and care taken to develop their relationship over time...there was no wham bam jump in the sack for these two...although OMG the foreplay and flirtatious teasing between Deck and Jenny was mega watt HOT and when they finally realize their feelings for each other (and seal the deal), it was truly explosive passion.<br />We learn a whole lot more about the Gentry triplets heartbreaking childhood as well as some dropped bombs of possible big secrets that could impact the future...but for now, enjoy this really sweet and sexy and emotionally charged romance with cameos from some much beloved characters from the Gentry Boys and Defiant MC series.<br />HOLD Finally…enjoy a sneak peek into more of Cord and Saylor as they keep the romance alive after becoming parents to two adorable girls. It’s funny, sweet, sexy and reminds us that under the tats and tough guy exterior, Cord is a loving husband and father. I can’t wait to read the whole book when it releases!<br />***** 5 ***** “a delicious 4-pack of sexy men and their loves” stars<br/>

<br/><h2>Before We Were Strangers A Love Story Renée Carlino 9781501105777 Books</h2>
Before We Were Strangers is a difficult book to review without giving away elements of the plot. Though it's clear in the description that this is a second chance love story about two adults who fell in love in college, and fifteen years has gone by. I absolutely love this trope. Childhood/young adult love and second chance love stories are in my top five favorite types of romance story lines. I've read a lot of them! The plot itself depends on one huge element... the "why" of the separation. The very idea of romance, and the hero and heroine, is that their love is once-in-a-lifetime glorious. So what could possibly keep these lovers apart? What reasons came between them? What took them so long to find each other again?<br /><br />That's where this book ultimately failed to me. I was absolutely heartbroken by this story. The reasons for their separation started okay. But ultimately there was absolutely no sense to it all. No logic. Their reasons for being apart were only temporarily acceptable. There were EASY ways to solve their issues. EASY. There was nothing keeping them apart. UGH.<br /><br />Unfortunately I cannot reveal this level of awfulness without major spoilers. See two star review by Danker if you want that. Though that review actually left off the BIG huge yuck which was the biggest issue ever. I digress....<br /><br />I ended up DESPISING the heroine for what she did. The hero made some awful mistakes himself and should have tried harder. But the heroine.... totally unforgivable. Interestingly, some of the negative reviews were more angry at the hero. But I can't see him as the majorly guilty one. But the heroine. UUUUGH. I walked away from this one sad and forlorn. I'm really surprised with the incredibly high ratings. Of course, there's an HEA (that's no spoiler, this is a romance after all). But I didn't like it. I didn't believe it.<br /><br />I struggled with the rating on this one because the college romance part was so incredible. Which is probably why I was so devastated. I fell in love with this couple. Like I became so utterly attached to them. But at the 60% mark I was dismayed, betrayed... depressed. And then frustrated, more and more frustrated, as each element reveals itself. There are some major, major plot holes in this book and decisions that are beyond horrible. Huge fail. Two days later I'm still so annoyed by it. Especially when it would have been easy enough to fix some of these issues in the plot. UGH. I need to find a forum I can talk these things out on!<br /><br />The college romance between Matt and Grace = 1000 stars of awesomeness. The plot itself = 1 star.<br/>

<h2>Before We Were Strangers A Love Story Renée Carlino 9781501105777 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
I knew it would have to be a very special story to surpass my love for Sweet Thing, but I now have a new Renee Carlino favorite! Before We Were Strangers has all of the characteristics that I love to see in a contemporary romance. I love the friends-to-lovers scenario, and if it is done right, they can be so very satisfying. Carlino had me wrapped around her little finger with Matt and Gracie. I just love how they dance around each other as their feelings for each other evolve. Before We Were Strangers is also a second chance romance. These are characters that I absolutely adore, and I fell in love with them, their relationship, not once, but twice.<br /><br />In many ways, Matthias William Shore and Graceland Marie Starr are a typical college couple. They meet at the beginning of their senior year at NYU. They are kindred, free spirits. A photographer and cellist, both having extremely artistic souls. Their relationship is lighthearted and sweet. Matt and Gracie are fast friends, confidants, and before the year is over, lovers. It is a whirlwind year, but graduation closes in around Matt and Gracie, and they are pulled in separate directions. Fast forward fifteen years. Matt and Gracie have been living completely separate lives. That is, until the day Matt sees Gracie on the subway train that is pulling away, and his heart aches to reconnect with her.<br /><br />There is something very special about Matt and Gracie, and more specifically, how these two interact to each other. Their college relationship is playful, and their personalities are buoyant. They enjoy each other’s friendship, but there is a real tension which sparks between them. In reality, they face problems like all college kids do, but it’s the way they respond to their problems which sets this couple apart. I really connected with these characters, and I found myself fully invested in their story. I felt all of the emotions you are supposed to feel when you read a really good book – everything from pure joy to sadness and loss.<br /><br />Renee Carlino included some very profound passages in Before We Were Strangers. You’ll find beautiful descriptions, including one which stood out to me that describes the intensity and importance of the first time you feel loved by another person. Another excerpt that caught my attention focuses on the passing of time. So many of us spend too much time focusing on memories or looking forward to the future, and we miss out on the beauty and opportunities of the now. Renee Carlino inserted a ton of wisdom into this story. Her writing has always been exceptional, but in my opinion, it continues to strengthen with each new novel. The writing in Before We Were Strangers is Carlino’s best yet.<br /><br />I have nothing but positive things to say about Before We Were Strangers. It’s a solid 5-star novel. That’s the truth. It’s firmly on my list of 2015 favorites, and it may even make my top novels at the end of year. I highly recommend this contemporary romance!<br/>

<br/><h2>The Power of Six Lorien Legacies Pittacus Lore Books</h2>
First of all, I would like to say that I'm a huge fan of I Am Number Four. When I read I Am Number Four, I got to know who John Smith was and felt his emotions throughout the book. I also like on how each character had their own personality such as Sam, Henry, Bernie, and Sarah. The book had a focus on John's personal life and his adventure of survial. Each chapter made you want to read the next chapter. It was very addicting because each chapter had a half finished dramtic scene, making you damn curious whats going to happen. Also in the end, I was so mad on how they just cut out Henry from the story by making him die. This was really a sad ending but the scene made me feel as though I was in John's position of losing a father. "sorry for the spoiler but I think Henry should have at less survive the2nd book". Compared to the recent back called The Power of Six, it was poorly written. It first starts out with a girl named Maria, talking about her past and recent activites on the search of John Smith. I have to admit that the first chapter was good but as you read head on, the story switches between two different character's conflict and story. This method of switching around to show on who is doing what is intresting, but i think the author is over doing it by extending the information. Like for an example, the author writes a few chapters of Maria searching for her box. That is just a waste of time, yes i understand that she has to find her box filled with her inhertance but is it really necessary to make her search for her box that long? I would rather like to hear more about John Smith. If I were to ask did you do anything specal today? I wouldn't want to hear every single thing you did but I rather hear the most intresting thing you did. I would also like to say on why did the author give Maria's guardian so little personality? I was expecting her to teach Maria like Henry. I felt as though she was just a background that did not play a significant role in this book. After reading the book all I knew is that she wanted to be a priest and treated Maria poorly. Also the way she died, had nothing to it. I did not feel any emotion like the way Henry died. I think the author could have done better by making Maria's story more of an adventure rather then a story filled with her daily task or choirs. I mean most of the characters that Maria met did not have emotionsfrom start. The author was procrastinating on what Maria's story that could have been amazing. As you read the book its a very slow process of anything significant that is happening. John's Smith story had a little more excitment to it because he had to run from the human society and fight aliens. After reading throughout the chapters of a boring slow story, the action finally takes place near the final chapters. The climax of each character is very intresting because it leads the book into a new book that might come out later throughout the year. As you read near the final chapters, you can tell that the author is rushing the book by adding the discovery of the new numbers. I mean wow really adding 3 new members to a book without even a short reference of their history or who they are is kind of a bad ending. I waited a year to read this book and was very dissapointed on the author's method of rushing things at the end and slowing down a story with a endless search of a box and character text that had nothing significant related to Maria.<br/>

<h2>The Power of Six Lorien Legacies Pittacus Lore Books Reviews</h2><br/>
In the not so distant past I worked at a few book stores. A problem I ran into frequently was finding books for teen boys. The YA market is flooded with books meant solely for girls. Boys have always been a harder sell when it comes to reading and publishers haven't made it an easier job, especially when they have flooded the teen market with paranormal romance.<br /><br />So recommendations for teen boys often meant I would recommend The Hunger Games. Unfortunately many guys aren't too keen on reading a book in which the main character is a girl, no matter how good the story is. So after going through the other 5 or 6 good teen guy books I could think of I would often recommend a book in the general fiction and literature section, but parents often fear that their children will encounter questionable subject matter. Which they may, but they should also remember many of the books their children read in school are found in the fiction and literature not the teen section.<br /><br />I found "I am Number Four" to be a great action adventure, that followed the traditional hero archetype. The main character, number Four or John Smith, is as relatable as a alien teenager on the run can be. The surrounding cast of characters rounds out this alien boys average existence, Henri, his alien guardian/father figure, Sam, his nerdy best friend, Sarah, his crush, and Mark, a bully and Sarah's ex. The story is a super power driven action packed adventure, filled with all the tender feelings and angst that a every teenager has.<br /><br />It was a quick read. I got through it in about a day and a half. I would recommend this book for anyone over the age of 13.Read more ›<br/>
Like I Am Number Four, this one has a pretty cool cover. Very sci-fi. However, it did throw me because I assumed this book would be mainly about Six. I guess I didn't read the description. Hah. Good one.<br /><br />I'll start by saying that I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the first in the series. I didn't not enjoy the first one... I was just middling on it. This one I was actually pleasantly pleased with. Some of the aspects in the first that were a bit confusing made much more sense in this one and I found that I remembered many more details than I thought I would. I loved how this one had a lot more action and mystery.<br /><br />I also loved how the characters were fleshed out more, while we were still introduced to some new ones. I really like Six and I'm glad she was heavily featured. Sam will always be one of my favorite characters. He's human and basically amazing. Four is such a flawed character, which is nice to see in a main character. He makes some really dumb decisions, but they are decisions I can kind of understand. Four, Six, and Sam make a pretty amazing trio. I'm kind of glad Sarah wasn't around. Her relationship with Four is kind of mediocre to me.<br /><br />The Power of Six is told in alternating points of view--John (Number Four) and Marina (Number Seven). The writing style was very effective for this book. Just when something major would happen, the points of view would shift so the reader is left wondering what is going on with the other character. It kept me reading late into the night!<br /><br />Overall, this is a pretty action packed book. There are numerous battles, adventures, and even deaths. Now I'm looking forward to the next one!<br /><br />P.S. Bernie Kosar is still awesome. )<br/>
First of all, I would like to say that I'm a huge fan of I Am Number Four. When I read I Am Number Four, I got to know who John Smith was and felt his emotions throughout the book. I also like on how each character had their own personality such as Sam, Henry, Bernie, and Sarah. The book had a focus on John's personal life and his adventure of survial. Each chapter made you want to read the next chapter. It was very addicting because each chapter had a half finished dramtic scene, making you damn curious whats going to happen. Also in the end, I was so mad on how they just cut out Henry from the story by making him die. This was really a sad ending but the scene made me feel as though I was in John's position of losing a father. "sorry for the spoiler but I think Henry should have at less survive the2nd book". Compared to the recent back called The Power of Six, it was poorly written. It first starts out with a girl named Maria, talking about her past and recent activites on the search of John Smith. I have to admit that the first chapter was good but as you read head on, the story switches between two different character's conflict and story. This method of switching around to show on who is doing what is intresting, but i think the author is over doing it by extending the information. Like for an example, the author writes a few chapters of Maria searching for her box. That is just a waste of time, yes i understand that she has to find her box filled with her inhertance but is it really necessary to make her search for her box that long? I would rather like to hear more about John Smith. If I were to ask did you do anything specal today? I wouldn't want to hear every single thing you did but I rather hear the most intresting thing you did. I would also like to say on why did the author give Maria's guardian so little personality? I was expecting her to teach Maria like Henry. I felt as though she was just a background that did not play a significant role in this book. After reading the book all I knew is that she wanted to be a priest and treated Maria poorly. Also the way she died, had nothing to it. I did not feel any emotion like the way Henry died. I think the author could have done better by making Maria's story more of an adventure rather then a story filled with her daily task or choirs. I mean most of the characters that Maria met did not have emotionsfrom start. The author was procrastinating on what Maria's story that could have been amazing. As you read the book its a very slow process of anything significant that is happening. John's Smith story had a little more excitment to it because he had to run from the human society and fight aliens. After reading throughout the chapters of a boring slow story, the action finally takes place near the final chapters. The climax of each character is very intresting because it leads the book into a new book that might come out later throughout the year. As you read near the final chapters, you can tell that the author is rushing the book by adding the discovery of the new numbers. I mean wow really adding 3 new members to a book without even a short reference of their history or who they are is kind of a bad ending. I waited a year to read this book and was very dissapointed on the author's method of rushing things at the end and slowing down a story with a endless search of a box and character text that had nothing significant related to Maria.<br/>

<br/><h2>Necessary Lies A Novel Diane Chamberlain 8601401084570 Books</h2>
Necessary Lies is of a young, newly married social worker who, against her husband's wishes, works with families that are uneducated, white and non-white, and not of the proper societal standards. This was also the time when the Eugenics Program, basically a sterilization of people who had low IQs and would be unable to care for themselves and their possible future children, was in force ( I didn't even know this was a thing). As I was reading, I kept thinking, "I can see how this was needed," but by the end of the book, with some twists and turns, you see how unethical and sad it could be. This book was so so good, and you really become attached to the characters. You want what's best for the characters, even if you don't know what it is. Chamberlain is a genius at pulling at your heartstrings and educating you at the same time.<br/>

<h2>Necessary Lies A Novel Diane Chamberlain 8601401084570 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
This novel exceeded my already high expectations, and is historical fiction at it's best. I'm always drawn to America's dirty little secrets, and here we have N. Carolina's eugenics program in the 1960's. Chamberlain does an excellent job focusing in on one specific family and the impact this program has on their lives.<br /><br />The main character, Jane, follows her heart to become a social worker against her husbands wishes (and later demands) to be a housewife and baby maker. She soon learns that this job requires more than just providing help to needy families. The state of N. Carolina (the only state to do so) has put the power in the social worker's hands to decide whether certain so-called feeble-minded or poverty stricken women should be sterilized (and yes, even if women are raped, or forced out of necessity, it is most always women). Jane becomes passionately involved with one particular family who's lives are already deeply embedded in this program before she officially takes on their case. She becomes the only hope for this family, and once again her own beliefs are at odds with those of her society and employer.<br /><br />Chamberlain shows through story, not only the horrors of our recent past, but also the hope we have when we choose to treat others fairly and equally. I loved the link provided in the "author's note." It shows recent hearings in N. Carolina to determine compensation for survivors. To see and hear actual survivors recount their stories is something I will never forget.<br/>
If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. Why? Because the author has created strong, believable characters through whom we see the terrible impact North Carolina's sterilization program had on the lives on innocent people. [Over 7000 people were sterilized between 1929 and 1975.] There are two primary narrators of the story Ivy, a lively 15 years old girl, living on a tobacco plantation as a member of a poor tenant farming family. And Jane, a 22 year old social worker who has just been assigned to work with this family. Jane is so new to the 'System', that she hasn't accepted what is considered normal by the older social workers. She finds herself appalled by what the System has done to Ivy's older sister... and is threatening to do to Ivy... sterilization. This is a powerful story that needs to be to be told.<br /> The second set of my gold stars would go to the author, Diane Chamberlain, who has crafted this novel with great skill. She lays the foundation for what is to come in subtle ways from the very beginning. As a reader, you are discovering disturbing truths throughout the novel. In that way, it's a real page-turner. Another brilliant aspect of this novel is that the author creates characters who are flawed, as are we all, and yet they have good qualities. Most people aren't all bad or all good, and yet it requires a strong moral compass to discern the best course of action in each situation. This is a story of human failings by people who have good intentions. It is also the story about an incredible act of courage by a young social worker, who cares about her clients.<br/>
Courageous women face a system where poverty and disease make involuntary sterilization possible. Jane, a new bride, accepts a job as a case worker for a North Carolina welfare department. She finds tangled relationships and difficult time with acceptance of a program that mandates sterilization for impoverished folk beset with mental or physical issues. Jane also runs afoul a system where objectivity rather than compassion is valued. Her job becomes an unwelcome distraction to her physician husband, who wants a family and wife supportive of his country club aspirations. Jane wants a career and marriage and eventually to prevent Ivy, a teenager with dreams of a family and escape from poverty from being sterilized, she risks career and marriage to stop this from occurring.<br /><br />Ivy, though, has seizures and becomes pregnant, making her a candidate for sterility. But Jane finds Ivy the person rather than the case subject.<br /><br />While the tale of Jane and Ivy forms the heart of a terrific story, the author skillfully brings in attitudes of the late fifties, early sixties about a woman's place in a polite southern society. Jane defies these expectations by valuing a career enjoying sex, and acting with courage and determination on her job and in her personal life. Super tale!<br/>

<br/><h2>My Favorite HalfNight Stand Christina Lauren 9781501197406 Books</h2>
FINAL DECISION: This was okay. Not great but not terrible. I enjoyed a once through reading, but never really connected with the heroine, and the hero was way too accommodating of her.<br /><br />THE STORY: Millie Morris is one of the guys, the only woman hanging out with a group of male friends. But one night, she and her "best friend" Reid Campbell end up having sex. Millie doesn't want to ruin her friendship so she insists that the two date. Along with their friends Millie and Reid sign up for an online dating service. But when Millie doesn't like her profile, she decides to sign up for a new one under a different name and is surprised when she and Reid are matched. So while Millie and Reid are dancing around one another in real life, Millie's alter ego and Reid are hitting it off online.<br /><br />OPINION: This book was okay, but all the interesting parts in the blurb really felt like insignificant to the actual story. First, there is little with Millie's interest in serial killers. She might have been interested in polar bears and it would have made no difference to the story. It's only a tiny part of this book even though it was part of what peaked my interest in this book. Second, I didn't find the online connection as compelling as I expected. There didn't seem much to it and the two only communicated for a short period. I have read other stories with online dating and this one didn't work as well.<br /><br />I really loved Reid and honestly, I spent most of the book thinking that he was much too good for Millie. She didn't feel closed up, she felt like a jerk for most of the book. Unfortunately, while that gets resolved, her dogged determination to not share even basic facts -- her middle name? -- with her "friends" made her seemed like she needs a whole lot of therapy rather than a relationship.<br /><br />On the plus side, I really enjoyed the relationship between all the friends. That felt fun and lighthearted. I thought that the complications that arise as Millie and Reid's relationship developed were funny and I enjoyed seeing the difficulties that arose. I also really liked the good parts of Millie and Reid's relationship as the two moved from friends to lovers. Their interactions in real life made me smile.<br /><br />Overall the book was okay, but not as good as I wanted it to be. Readers who just want a fun romcom would probably enjoy this more.<br /><br />WORTH MENTIONING: I wish that the other friends hadn't had their stories resolved, it might have been an interesting series.<br /><br />CONNECTED BOOKS: MY FAVORITE HALF-NIGHT STAND is a standalone.<br /><br />STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.<br /><br />NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in helping to prepare this review.

<h2>My Favorite HalfNight Stand Christina Lauren 9781501197406 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
My Half Night Stand by Christina Lauren<br /><br />I really enjoyed this contemporary friends to lovers romance. It was sweet, funny and touching.<br /><br />First, Reid. What an adorable man. Helping without being asked; Supportive of his friends and close with family; Not afraid to discuss his feelings and emotions. Knowing what he wants. A true catch.<br /><br />Next Millie. She learned to keep to the superficial at a young age when her mother got sick. “Don’t bother her” with the details was the guiding principle. Does anyone really care when they ask “how are you?”. No. They don’t.<br />Ok maybe close friends or family might care. But if you’re in the habit of “Fine, and you?”, you would understand Millie. Trusting enough to open up takes work. And faith in the other person. Millie actually hit a little too close to home for me.<br /><br />Now Millie needs to learn to open up.<br />It’s not a smooth transition for Millie, but it seems easier via letter or email.<br /><br />Worry, tears, and satisfaction got me to the end.<br />I would rate this 4.5 but you can’t do half stars. Thinking about the depth of characters, their traits and their clear delineation, pushed the rating up.<br /><br />I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. I also purchased a copy for sharing.<br/>
Here's what I liked about this book<br />1. I really liked Reid. He was the kind of guy a girl would love to date in a realistic dream-come-true scenario.<br />2. I really liked their group. I am a minted professional who works in the fringes of academia, and trying to get my PhD. And it really is challenging to socialize at a personal level in this environment. So I think it was really nice to see a close-knitted band of academics being normal. It gives me hope.<br /><br />Here's what I don't like about the book<br />1. I didn't really enjoy reading Millie's perspective; and I am not saying this because of the whole catfishing thing, although that is pretty shitty. But I just didn't find her voice all that interesting. She was also a tad bit annoying in the way that it seemed like she was too self-centered to really care about her other friends. Her treatment toward Ed and Alex also didn't impress me. She was condescending and judgemental at times.<br />4. I kind of get her reluctance to share her feelings with people considering her past. I can even relate to that to a certain extent. But it is less believable to me that she kept her dad's Parkinson's--a chronic illness that is painful to witness in a family memeber-- a secret for such a long time, and yet there was a point where she freaked out over some message Reid sent her and went straight to Ed and Alex (the friends she didn't really respect) for counsel.<br /><br />It is possible that I am biased because my processing of emotions and events is likely different from the protagonist, which is not uncommon. But I just don't get her priorities at all. Another bias is introduced by the fact that I went into this book with ridiculously high expectations, thanks to Josh and Hazel, and therefore, was heavily disappointed. I am not sure at this point. All I know is that not once did I feel my toes curling or my eyes crinkling whenever something juicy or good happened to our main characters, respectively. I have already read Josh and Hazel twice, and will be re-reading it during my travels for Christmas, but this one, I will not pick up again.<br/>
FINAL DECISION This was okay. Not great but not terrible.

<br/><h2>The Mane Attraction Shelly Laurenston 9780758220387 Books</h2>
Please note this review may contain spoilers.<br /><br />The Mane Attraction starts where book 2 left off, with Smitty and Jessie Ann's wedding. Sissy (wolf shifter and Smitty's sister) and her good buddy Mitch (lion shifter and Brendon Shaw's brother) are trying to have fun, despite Sissy trying to avoid her bitch of a mother, and Mitch being too busy thinking about the bounty on his head.<br /><br />After an almost successful attempt on Mitch's life has been made, Sissy decides to take him to where she thinks he'll be most safe. Where does she take him? Back to a place she herself hates visiting, her childhood home in Smithtown. Once there Sissy has to face her older brother (who has plans to be the next alpha) without the protection of her pack or her father. She knows it's going to be bad for her, but it's the only place she feels Mitch will be safe.<br /><br />Throw in a shifter only football game, a shifter only NASCAR type race, and a crazy car scene with Sissy and Ronnie Lee, and you've got yourself an action packed romance with some great sex. This book has everything really.<br /><br />Two people more alike I don't think you'll ever meet. Both Mitch and Sissy are huge s*** stirrers. They live for starting s*** and watching the aftermath. But together, their attraction is hot, sweet and funny all rolled into one.<br /><br />I have read all 9 books in this series, and from memory this is by far the funniest. All the previous books were funny, but I feel that from here the 'funny' reaches a new level and stays there.<br/>

<h2>The Mane Attraction Shelly Laurenston 9780758220387 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
I love this book! Sissy Mae and Mitch are so much fun. They are friends trying to keep each other in the friend box. All bets are off when Mitch is hurt. Sissy Mae bundles him up and takes him to the safest place she knows, home to TN.<br /><br />In TN, Sissy Mae and Mitch dive into a friends with benefits and boundaries relationship. Together, they face family, their friends and foes. Through it all, they realize they love each other.<br /><br />This is a great book and wonderful fun.<br/>
I swear I love this woman more with each book I read. I'm kind of obsessed with this series, which is a good thing I found it so late. I'll be reading this one and all her others.<br /><br />I guess there should be a little something in this review about the book itself, huh? Mitch and Sissy are great together. Their relationship kind of reminds me of The relationship between The Beast and Gwenvael the Handsome (Dragon Kin series by G A Aiken) but where B&G were politically savvy in their shit-starting, Mitch and Sissy don't mind starting it with anyone and everyone. I'm a little bit country so Sissy and her Tennessee family (I've never been) speak to my little country heart. Mitch is the adorably hot guy that you can't help but love. Don't worry, he expects no less because he's amazing. He'll tell you that himself. As always there are plenty of laughs, which is why I'll keep tossing this woman my money.<br/>
This book was funny, exciting & had lots of sex scenes & fighting scenes.<br /><br />Sissy Mae Smith is a Female Alpha who saves the big funny cat by taking him back home to Tennessee; the place where she grew up & didn't want to ever come back too. Especially since her Mama & her don't get along.<br /><br />Mitchell (Mitch) Shaw was at one time a undercover detective, but now works at Mace & Smitty's Security place while waiting for a trial to commence in order for him to testify against an Irish criminal. But, while he's waiting he almost gets killed because there's a bounty on his head & after being shot Sissy Mae takes him home to Tennessee.<br /><br />While there the 2 of them slowly start to fall in love with each other & eventually near the end of the book finally admit that to each other. But, the fun times to be had in this book is what happens in the middle of their romance & that you will have to read & find out for yourselves.<br/>
I do like this series. I really loved the characters. I have to admit this moved a little slow for me especially most of the first half. Let me tell you Sissy Mae is quite a character. She is certainly an alpha female and she is crazy and can kick some major butt! Mitch is downright cute and funny. He's led a mysterious life lately until it sorta came out in the last book. Undercover cop and now he's having to testify until someone tries to kill him. Mitch and Sissy have been friends for awhile. At least thats what they've told themselves. To protect him until the trial and after the near death issue she takes him home to Smithville. Let me tell you that was an experience. She's got brothers there but since Bobby Ray is on his honeymoon he wasnt there but makes an appearance later. Her other brothers Jackie, Sammy, Donnie, and Travis are there. She doesnt get along at all with Travis. He seems to think he'll be taking over when Bubba retires as pack alpha. He's jealous of Sissy because he could never get her to submit. She's an alpha female how can he expect her to? Anyways, he's always disliked her and disrespects her. Brothers shouldnt do that to sisters and it baffles Sammy. Other than Bobby Ray he's good to her and treats her like a sister. Defends her. Funny thing is its all realized later that Travis will never be the alpha but Sammy will someday because he's got a level head and isn't so quick to be so unfair. Travis wants it for the wrong reasons...power. Her other 2 brothers kinda go along with Travis. Dont worry he gets his butt handed to him by Sissy. Funniest scene to me was when her ex boyfriend Gil from when she was 16 comes back and tries to force her into a mating. Its a bad deal and not something that is tolerated. He sure gets his ass handed to him by Bobby Ray and Sissy. Then Mitch and Brendan comes flying through and they toss him like a ball in between them shaking the crap outta him. It was just a funny deal there. He lived through it but wont be walking anytime soon. The question is will Mitch be able to tame Sissy Mae? Does Mitch want to? They both fight it hard but love succeeds in the end.<br/>

<br/><h2>HalfBlood Covenant Jennifer L Armentrout Books</h2>
J.A. really needs to send my boss an apology for making me late to work, because I was always up late reading this series. I could.not.put.it.down. I loved it so much that I’m just going to write about the series, not individual books. I know a lot of people say that Half-Blood is a rip-off of vampire academy, but honestly I never read that series. This was engaging, and her writing had a great flow. She doesn’t waste time filling pages with descriptions, instead she builds this world of characters and makes you feel like you’re there on the sidelines. I liked the main character, her wit & strength, and yet how vulnerable and emotional she was. All the books were fast-paced, and but I could never guess what was going to be around the corner. And seriously the ending...let’s just say I was on a flight finishing the last book, crying. ACTUALLY crying 🙄. I’ve already re-read the series twice over. I can’t wait to try her other novels.<br/>

<h2>HalfBlood Covenant Jennifer L Armentrout Books Reviews</h2><br/>
Review of Half Blood<br />Rating 4 stars<br />www.reviewoffantasy.com<br /><br />I read some other reviews regarding this book and the amount of people that suggested it was like Vampire Academy, had me curious. Yes it was but it was also unique in its own way.<br /><br />Alex the main character is a fighter, on the run with her mother, she’s a half blood protector of the pure’s, but when she runs into trouble with daimons her mother is killed and she’s saved by the pure’s one being Aiden. Wow is hot. <br /><br />I loved Alex’s dry sense of humour her smart mouth and her drive. She’s like a disobedient child when someone says go left she will go right. But it’s fun to read, as she trained by Aiden who is forbidden to the likes of her. Half bloods and pure’s are not allowed to be together, and it’s tough as they train the feelings she has for Aiden grow stronger.<br />She also has some awful people to deal with like Lea who’s nothing but a bitch, but Alex ends up breaking her nose and I loved it. It was so deserving to hell with the consequences. Then there’s Lucian her step-father who is the worst parent of all.<br /><br />But Alex is also surround by some really cool people like Caleb her best friend who ISN’T in love with her, and I appreciated this so much in the book. Majority of male best friends are in love with the MC. So this was a breath of fresh air.<br /><br />The love story between Aiden and Alex is electric but for me I loved Seth the Apollyon, he was rude yet cool, sounded gorgeous but towards the end of the book we got to see a nice side of him. (well kind of). )<br /><br />Overall really enjoyed this story it was non-stop action in every department and I love a MC with a sarcastic mouth.<br/>
MY THOUGHTS<br />I didn't read any reviews to this before I went and read it. All I know is a lot of readers enjoyed it, and now that I read it I can understand why. It wasn't horrible by any means. There was one problem I had with it, and I'm not sure whether I see it as a big problem or not. It didn't help the way I rated it on goodreads though. It was just way, WAY to similar to another series to give it any higher then 3 stars. I mean the first couple of pages I could tell. I know this may sound ridiculous, but I even made a list of the similarities. (I may or may not put it up. I don't wanna be that person.) Also, it seemed a bit predictable after reading further along in it. You knew Alex was different from what the daimon said and when you met some of the others characters, and learned some of the history it clicked. (at least it did for me) So with this being said I did enjoy the few things that were different. I loved that it had to do with the gods and those type myths. I personally haven't read many dealing with the gods yet. I do own a few books though.<br /><br />Aside from the similarities with the characters/plot. I enjoyed the characters. I suppose any characters that can pull off a Rose/dimitri thing I'll enjoy.<br /><br />Alex was definitely that kick-butt heroine that I've grown to love in other stories such as Vampire Academy, Divergent, and others. She has that I'll hit you now and think about it later personality which most the time will get her in trouble, but it really doesn't seem to bother her. She's strong when she needs to be. She's got that snarky attitude. She one of those characters that I would love to see grow in the next book.<br /><br />I'm hoping with the next book it'll be different so that I can appreciate it more.<br/>
Alex is a half-blood which means she is the daughter of a Hematoi(a descendant of the greek gods)and a mortal. There is only two ways of life for half-bloods be a mindless servant for the Pure bloods(off spring of two Hematoi)or guard them and hunt down the Daimons[pure bloods who have went all dark side after getting a taste of Aether(life force running throw the blood of pure and half bloods)and will do anything for a fix].<br />Alex is one of the lucky ones. Training to be Sentinel(the half bloods who hunt down daimons)in the Covenant. I loved this book. I am late to the Jennifer L Armentrout fan club but I have become a card carrying member. The opening had my heart racing and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This book sucks you in and doesn't let you go even after you have reached the end. It has it all action,romance,special powers,forbidden love,and great main characters.Alex is a feisty,strong,and sarcastic heroine who has you rooting for her from page one. Aiden and Seth are two very hot swoon worthy heroes. I love how Aiden understands Alex and treats her as an equal. Aiden's caring and understanding nature would sweep any girl off her feet. And here is were the forbidden love comes in.Alex is a half blood and Aiden is a pure and one of the rules is halfs and pures can't date.Seth's wit and bluntness where my favorite things about his character. I saw some things coming but just as many things I didn't see coming. I loved the heat between the main characters Alex and Aiden. I swear the pages were hot to the touch. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. This book is not to be missed for all young adult paranormal fantasy fans.<br /><br />this review can also be found on my blog thereadingrebel.wordpress.com<br/>

<br/><h2>The Light Over London edition by Julia Kelly Literature Fiction eBooks</h2>
I thought there might be a surprise hidden inside this basic romance novel. I'm not a fan of girl meets boy she wants to ignore but falls in love kinda stuff. Three stories all of which end up exactly where you figure they will after the first few chapters. I was disappointed in the mediocre story line, you see it coming, you just keep hoping there might be something you missed and that it will end up be more exciting than it actually ever is. Nice easy light reading but not exactly compelling or gripping.<br/>

<h2>The Light Over London edition by Julia Kelly Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews</h2><br/>
I really enjoyed this story. It was a romance but more. I'm always intrigued by what went on during WWII and this book taught me new things which I found fascinating. This book is definitely worth checking out.<br/>
Thoroughly enjoyed this novel - about a mystery the goes back to and through WWII in England told alongside a contemporary romance of an appealing couple. Wonderful detail about the British women who served throughout WWII so well told you swept along feeling as if you knew them all. One of my favorite books I've read-and I read constantly!<br/>
Fun easy read, interesting story. I learned information about WWII which was new to me women serving in the military fighting for England; Aiming Antiaircraft Guns. My wife liked the book, but warned me it was “chick lit”. I enjoyed it greatly even if it was written from the female point of view. I am looking forward to Ms. Kelly’s next book which I understand will be about another WWII woman’s story. (Full disclosure I know Julia Kelly personally and can report that she is a lovely person.)<br/>
I liked the detail of what life must have been like around the 1940 time frame<br />in England and in the Cornwall region for young ladies. A great yarn in particular<br />regarding the principle character Louise and her difficult journey though the London<br />raids and survival of personal impacts delivered to her and overcoming these to<br />live her dream life in California.<br/>
Nothing special. About a young innocent girl from a small town who leaves her home during WWII to join up and meets this charming handsome pilot....they fall in love..there is a twist to the story.....A woman who finds her diary is also living her own story. Many years after the war. She searches to find the woman whose diary she's found.... Janet B<br/>
This was an awesome book......couldn't wait to get to the end to find out what happened with the characters.<br />Well written and kept you wanting to find out the ending. WWII novels are so interesting to me.<br />Thanks for an awesome book.<br/>
Predictable and somewhat boring, this book does little to actually illuminate history and instead relies on well-worn tropes and romantic plot lines to attempt to move the story forward. So shallow is this novel that its plot could be plucked from its WWII setting and dropped into any other—WWI, Vietnam, Victorian, Edwardian, American Civil War, etc.—and very little would actually need to change. If you like soapy, one-dimensional, predictable romances, you might enjoy this book. Otherwise, it is not worth the money and an insult to the genre.<br/>
I thought there might be a surprise hidden inside this basic romance novel. I'm not a fan of girl meets boy she wants to ignore but falls in love kinda stuff. Three stories all of which end up exactly where you figure they will after the first few chapters. I was disappointed in the mediocre story line, you see it coming, you just keep hoping there might be something you missed and that it will end up be more exciting than it actually ever is. Nice easy light reading but not exactly compelling or gripping.<br/>

This novel is a work of art. Her book is lush with thought. In it, she covers such a wide range of topics, all extremely touching and each one generating intense feelings from immigration to mental illness to family.<br /><br />Two sisters, Chinese American, raised in New York by a single mother, the eldest, Miranda, whose self-appointed role is to look out for her younger sibling. Lucia, the younger, marries a man, who couldn’t be more her opposite, and there was something about him that I found him to be one of the highlights of the story. Several other characters cross her path who are so colorful and add such depth and warmth. One, in particular, was really striking.<br /><br />While Lucia’s state of mind is challenging to contend with, Miranda does everything in her power to help maintain a relationship with her sister.<br /><br />Always on the move, Lucia meets Manny. Life for each of them is never going to be as it was.<br /><br />When a story leads you down paths you never would have conjured, introduces you to people you probably would not meet in real life, languages you didn’t know you wanted to know, opens your eyes to different kinds of love, shows you compassion for things that you might not have understood before, this is beautiful. This is EVERYTHING HERE IS BEAUTIFUL.<br/>

“For the families. Empathy because the commonality among human beings is emotion, and the only way we can bridge our vast discrepancies in experience is through what we feel. Let us be humbled in the knowledge that one may never fully understand the interior lives of others – but let us continue to care.”<br /><br />Mira T. Lee’s hauntingly-beautiful, debut novel begins with this mantric, prayer-like author’s note. In the ensuing pages is a first-rate novel, and story about emotion, empathy, loss, mental illness, family, and the love that binds us all.<br />The novel spans decades, and the story crosses borders between New Jersey, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Queens, Ecuador, Switzerland, and Minnesota. Early in the novel, we find out Lucia is struggling with mental illness, some combination of bipolar and schizophrenia.<br /><br />We see this illness from the loving, but sometimes suffocating and over-bearing eye of her dedicated and caring sister, Miranda.<br /><br />We see this illness from the eyes of her loyal and loving husband, Yonah.<br /><br />We see it through the eyes of her younger, romantic partner, Manuel.<br /><br />We see it through the eyes of the town of Meyer, MN.<br /><br />And perhaps most importantly, we experience Lucia’s illness through her own eyes and heart.<br /><br />We also see how the illness ripples through the broader family.<br /><br />We see how it both complicates and enriches Miranda’s marriage to Stefan.<br /><br />We see how it binds Manuel’s extended family through a near-tragedy.<br /><br />We see how it provides support to a friend that Lucia meets when both are seeking help at a treatment facility.<br /><br />We see how it teaches Yonah what it means to love.<br /><br />Lee’s narrative form evokes empathy in the reader. Chapters are told from shifting points of view the protagonist Lucia, her sister Miranda, her two lovers, Yonah and Manuel. In this way, we see Lucia’s mental illness and life through the same kaleidoscope through which all families experience the suffering and triumphs of their loved ones.<br /><br />At one point in the novel, Miranda feels she needs to visit her sister in Ecuador. Stefan, her husband, views another cross-Atlantic trip from Switzerland as futile.<br /><br />Husband and wife’s difference of opinion in this scene echo an earlier moment in the story, when Miranda says to her husband, “But that’s not her, Stefan.” With Miranda’s exasperation, we ache that her husband only knows the Lucia that is not well, not her fullest self. We bemoan this gap in knowledge between Miranda and Stefan, arising from the Lucia each knows. We see how, at times, this experience gap can be a wedge between Miranda and Stefan.<br /><br />Stefan much later says to Miranda, as he questions whether she should go see her sister and whether the trip will make a difference, “I love you, Miranda…I love you.”<br /><br />To which Miranda says, “This is me, Stefan.”<br /><br />“This” being her relationship with her sister, and all that it encompasses.<br /><br />In this small exchange, Miranda is trying to tell her husband that through blood, empathy, sisterly-bond, love, through mysteries untold, whatever you want to call it…Miranda and Lucia are one. Lucia’s life is inseparable from Miranda’s.<br />But also, love is not finite. Miranda has enough of it for her husband and her sister. Love makes Miranda and her husband one too. Makes us all one.<br /><br />To embrace me, Miranda seems to be saying, you must embrace Lucia’s illness as if it were your own.<br /><br />And this invitation is not just for Stefan or any one person. Miranda’s beckoning is perhaps the overriding call-to-action emanating from this story. The story of Lucia and her family is a mandate for us all. We cannot love in isolation. “For the families” - the author’s note is intentional in its broad address. We must love one another, love all, in sickness and in health. Further, empathy within a family need not stop there, should not stop there. It must expand beyond the family to community, and ultimately beyond that to all humanity.<br /><br />In this honest, bare-naked, and authentic story of family and the ties that bind them, Lee will surely turn the hearts of readers outward. The story of Lucia and the pain/love that connects everyone around her is from the same batch of pain/love that connects us all to each other. Empathy and emotion binds everyone, and must be indiscriminate and open towards those enduring mental illness or experiencing suffering of any kind.<br /><br />The story of Lucia will help us see that when anyone suffers, that person - like Lucia is for Miranda - is not another, but is us too; and so, he/she deserves our undying empathy.<br/>
Everything Here Is Beautiful, by Mira T. Lee<br />Reading is a pleasure, a joy, a wonderful juxtaposition of our prior knowledge, our future selves, and mostly a tangible reminder of how we spend our time. There once was a day when literature and book reading were limited. Now, with no limitations of what we can read, or how we can spend our time, any time we hear about a book, and spend the time actually reading it; time, our most precious resource, is of extreme value. I loved every moment of my time spent reading this book. I loved being transported to South America, to the most charming villages of New York City and the sparkling dynasties of the snowy Midwest. The characters are in my heart now. I will live with them forever as I have with so many of the beautiful characters of the greatest books I have experienced. Mira T. Lee has captured the essence of family, of sisterhood, of in laws from hell and heaven, while at the same time eclipsing the wonders of the brain and its disorders, and our relationship to that when it appears in our most beloved friends, lovers, and family. What great artists know is that great stories are real, and this story is real. It reads real. And it remains real, throughout the reading, and the remembering. I loved this book. The characters are real, the descriptions are beautiful, the text is lovely, the sounds, the dialects, the pictures of the surrounding backdrops, whether you are in South America, Europe or the United States, it is all touchable, fathomable and delightfully real. It is a story of love of the many different kinds of love and it is timeless.<br/>
"Later, I would be told I had a twenty percent chance of maintaining a full-time job, a twenty-five percent chance of living independently, a forty percent chance of attempting suicide, a ten percent chance of succeeding. I was twenty-six years old."<br /><br />I loved this debut novel about two Chinese-American sisters, Miranda and Lucia, and their lifelong bond. Lucia is plagued by mental illness, and Miranda feels responsible for taking care of her sister. But life takes them in separate directions Miranda to Switzerland, and Lucia to Ecuador with her boyfriend and newborn baby.<br /><br />Novels with multiple narrators can be hit or miss, but it works nicely here. It's interesting to experience different characters' perspectives as they intertwine with each other's lives.<br /><br />There's a melancholy beauty to this book—in spite of the solemn subject matter, there's plenty of humor, compassion and genuine (if unconventional) love. The characters consistently try to do what's best for themselves and for each other; though inevitably, it's at times impossible to do both.<br/>
This novel is a work of art. Her book is lush with thought. In it, she covers such a wide range of topics, all extremely touching and each one generating intense feelings from immigration to mental illness to family.<br /><br />Two sisters, Chinese American, raised in New York by a single mother, the eldest, Miranda, whose self-appointed role is to look out for her younger sibling.

<br/><h2>Love and Other Consolation Prizes A Novel Jamie Ford 9780804176774 Books</h2>
There was a time when people of mixed race were thought of as freaks or misfits and treated as such. In Love and Other Consolation Prizes, a young Chinese-American boy is sold by his mother, herself a prostitute, in order to provide him with a better life. This was during the time of famine in China. When Yung Kun-ai (later known as Ernest Young) boards a freighter bound for the United States he is looking forward to a better life. But that isn't what's to be. He barely escapes with his life from the freighter and washes ashore in Seattle where he is taken to a shelter. After bouncing from place to place. He finally lands at a boys school he is beholden to Mrs. Irvine, his benefactress. But when he becomes a bit rebellious she takes him to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, treats him to a day at the fair, before providing him as the prize in the daily raffle. That's right, he's raffled off and won by Madame Flora, owner of a house called the Tenderloin in the red-light district. There Ernest meets two young girls, Maisie and Fahn (a Japanese girl who was on the boat with him years earlier). The three form an unbreakable bond that will last until their elder years. Ernest ends up married to one of the girls when the Tenderloin closes but the reader doesn't learn who he chose until almost the end of the book.<br /><br />I loved this story! The juxtaposition of the AYP Exposition in 1910 with the Seattle World's Fair of 1962 provides a wonderful backdrop to the story. The author weaves Ernest's childhood with his later years in a spellbinding story. The characters are colorful, rich, and full of life. Exquisite details of the times and places pull the reader into the story and take him/her on a journey of depth and intrigue. The end is a beautiful twist to the story that this reader did not see coming. I found it difficult to choose a favorite character from the lot but I believe my heart belongs to Fahn in the end. You'll have to read this for yourself to find out if you agree with my choice.<br/>

<h2>Love and Other Consolation Prizes A Novel Jamie Ford 9780804176774 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
A beautiful story that brings life to many unknown histories of early Seattle. Friendship and love overcome the harshness of early 20th century racism. A fascinating story, which makes one want to know more about the emerald city.<br/>
Jamie Ford is a very special writer and has written three wonderful books. Each one has grabbed my heart, taught me things I did not know about ;and told me a compelling story with characters I will always treasure as special friends. The story is excellent and suits those of us who have compassionate hearts and an interest in history of our country. The writing is so excellent that one will always remember the characters he develops so fully.<br/>
Jamie Ford never disappoints. I thought I would never like a book as much as I liked "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet," but I loved this just as much. It never ceases to amaze me what people can endure, and the characters in this novel have to overcome some horrific events to find love. Ford writes a compelling story about characters you come to love.<br/>
From his first book to this latest entry his works strike my heart in a most lyrical way. I cannot recommend his books enough to do them justice. If you know Seattle and it's rich and often tragic Asian history....his works are for you and all of us.<br/>
I have loved all of Jamie Ford's books and this one is no exception. It is a wonderfully told story flipping from the early 1900's to 1962 covering two Seattle World's Fairs and a mixed race Chinese boy now man named Earnest Young. It is a must read.<br/>
I love historical fiction and nonfiction. Jamie Ford is such a great, emotional, heart-warming story teller. I hate the fact that I have other responsibilities and can't just sit and read the entire book! I'm over halfway through it and am enjoying it immensely. In fact, it will be given as Christmas presents to many this year!<br/>
I will be very surprised if I ever see anything by Jamie Ford that deserves less than the maximum five stars. What impressed me most about LOVE and Other Consolation PRIZES is is how wonderfully he shows us the good in the "bad" people and the bad in the "good" people, forcing us to rethink which is which and to what extent, and to wonder if either classification is really appropriate.<br /><br />Are the two who find out they were born out of wedlock any lesser persons on that account? Certainly not! That is about the phoniest excuse I have ever heard of for putting someone down!<br /><br />Who is a better friend to Earnest, the "good" Mrs. Irvine or the "bad" Flora Nettleton? Who is a better friend to the prostitutes in the Tenderloin?<br /><br />Jamie Ford has given us a wonderfully engrossing story, full of both sadness and joy, which forces us to notice that even the "bad" people have virtues and even the "good" have faults. Perhaps it will inspire us to think more charitably about our fellow citizens. It should also inspire you, if you haven't already, to read his wonderful first novel, HOTEL on the CORNER of BITTER and SWEET (five stars ++) and his excellent second, SONGS of WILLOW FROST (five stars).<br/>
There was a time when people of mixed race were thought of as freaks or misfits and treated as such. In Love and Other Consolation Prizes, a young Chinese-American boy is sold by his mother, herself a prostitute, in order to provide him with a better life. This was during the time of famine in China. When Yung Kun-ai (later known as Ernest Young) boards a freighter bound for the United States he is looking forward to a better life. But that isn't what's to be. He barely escapes with his life from the freighter and washes ashore in Seattle where he is taken to a shelter. After bouncing from place to place. He finally lands at a boys school he is beholden to Mrs. Irvine, his benefactress. But when he becomes a bit rebellious she takes him to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, treats him to a day at the fair, before providing him as the prize in the daily raffle. That's right, he's raffled off and won by Madame Flora, owner of a house called the Tenderloin in the red-light district. There Ernest meets two young girls, Maisie and Fahn (a Japanese girl who was on the boat with him years earlier). The three form an unbreakable bond that will last until their elder years. Ernest ends up married to one of the girls when the Tenderloin closes but the reader doesn't learn who he chose until almost the end of the book.<br /><br />I loved this story! The juxtaposition of the AYP Exposition in 1910 with the Seattle World's Fair of 1962 provides a wonderful backdrop to the story. The author weaves Ernest's childhood with his later years in a spellbinding story. The characters are colorful, rich, and full of life. Exquisite details of the times and places pull the reader into the story and take him/her on a journey of depth and intrigue. The end is a beautiful twist to the story that this reader did not see coming. I found it difficult to choose a favorite character from the lot but I believe my heart belongs to Fahn in the end. You'll have to read this for yourself to find out if you agree with my choice.<br/>

<br/><h2>The Prince and the Dressmaker Jen Wang Books</h2>
This is such a good book! I love seeing crossdressing/genderqueerness portrayed in such a loving, charming way - where you can see how happy it makes Prince Sebastian and how much it means to him. I love the love story sooo much, and the dress designs are all so fun. The ending was also AMAZING. Like, I dig that this all ended in the happiest way possible without downplaying some of the risks and emotions that come with potential rejection when you're gender nonconforming.<br /><br />It was a surprisingly quick read, but because the images take up so much space, it ends up being a pretty hefty book, so I felt like I was getting a lot of value out of it. The design of the cover and the sturdiness is great, and while I was surprised that in some senses the lineart seemed a little unpolished, that in no way detracted from the read - and I'm really happy to support a growing artist.<br/>

<h2>The Prince and the Dressmaker Jen Wang Books Reviews</h2><br/>
This is a graphic novel about an ambitious seamstress and a prince who secretly likes dressing as a woman. Set in Paris in the past, it has a young-adult sensibility the prince is turning sixteen, the seamstress also looks young, and both of them are trying to find their path through life. It's a quick, sweet read with two very sympathetic main characters. My one quibble is that occasionally the phrasing is anachronistically modern, e.g. the prince asks, "You're not weirded out?" and Frances, the seamstress, answers, "This is my dream job," and at another point the prince says, "She was SO cool. Like scary but in like a totally cool way." Recommended.<br/>
Set in Paris at "the dawn of the modern age", a young seamstress is recruited to work for the Prince of Belgium, and she is soon let in on the secret that he keeps from his royal parents Prince Sebastian loves to wear dresses, and he soon recruits Frances into helping him establish an alternate identity as the flamboyant Lady Crystallia.<br /><br />As the King puts pressure on his son to marry, and Frances' designs begin to gain popularity, the secrets they have been living with start to unravel, threatening their friendship and their futures.<br /><br />This is a beautiful story with a lovely art style, some clever plot twists and a great ending. The setting and flavor of Paris are brought to vivid life, and the characters are wonderfully expressive.<br/>
I loved it!! I read it as soon as I got home! Although the packaging looked safely secured, i noticed the spine had a rip and bent a little. Not that much of a flaw but I would’ve liked it even more if it were shipped/handed nicely. Overall, I love the story! I’m already looking forward for Wang’s new work!<br/>
Oh how this book made me smile!! It’s set in a 19th century-ish Paris where 16 year-old Prince Sebastian has a huge secret he is keeping from his parents - from everyone except for his trusted butler. He loves getting dressed up in fancy gowns and makeup and wigs. Eventually he discovers a lowly dressmaker, Frances, who has shown she is willing to break societal norms - and secretly hires her to help him transform into a different, more glamorous person. But things go awry when Sebastian’s parents try to arrange his marriage and his alter-ego (and her designer) become the talk of the town. It’s like Project Runway meets Versailles with a twist of Cinderella. And I really, really want Disney to make this into a movie! We need more books that go beyond the traditional gender norms so kids can both see themselves and also so that kids can see others not like them at the center of important and positive and fun stories.<br/>
Sometimes when a book gets a lot of buzz online, I'm a bit wary about picking it up because it might not live up to the hype for me. I shouldn't have worried about reading The Prince and the Dressmaker because it's as delightful as everyone said it would be! Lovely story accompanied by beautiful artwork, this is a standalone graphic novel that has a lot of heart. I loved that the prince is genderfluid and likes to dress up in gorgeous gowns and parade around Paris as Lady Crystallia. The secret behind his fabulous outfits is Frances, the dressmaker and designer who shares his passion for fashion. It was so much fun reading about these two characters and seeing them go after their dreams. They start off as strangers but quickly become best friends because they understand each other so well. I loved the central theme of being true to yourself even if it will make life more difficult. And the art was a visual pleasure to go through. I want the dresses pictured to have real life versions so I can wear them! I'm going to try to bookstagram some pages that feature these dresses so you can see what I mean. Will definitely be on the lookout for more of Jen Wang's books. I bought my copy in the US, but I really hope local bookstores would stock this up.<br/>
Received my book today and started reading immediately. I was worried based on the prerelease reviews that I would find the story too short or lacking in oomph, but I really love it just like I hoped. It's sweet and obviously the art is so lovely. The hard cover for this book is matte for the most part and the design makes it feel like an old fashioned fairy tale book (in a good way). I don't have kids but this is offered in a way that feels like my hypothetical children would go to the bookshelf and excitedly pick "The Prince and the Dressmaker" for bedtime stories (and I would totes read it to them).<br/>
This is a wonderful thing that you should read in your life. It is a well crafted, well thought out story about inclusiveness and self love that doesn't feel too contrived. This is something that I would equally recommend and share with adults as well as children, everyone can get something special out of The Prince and the Dressmaker. I love that I have a physical hardcopy to keep on my coffee table, a friend could feasibly flip through the entire thing in an hour. Well done Jen!<br/>

Until Dolly discovers that her husband Harry is actually still alive and looks like he has both new plans for another huge heist and to run off with another woman who has born his child. Dolly's no dummy......she and the girls take off with what they can and live in Rio temporarily while Dolly cleans out Harry's bank accounts there and plans revenge on him.

<h2>Widows Revenge 9781785768286 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
Widows' Revenge is the sequel to Widows. And boy it doesn't let you down! It picks up after the four women do the impossible, pulling off a raid. While they think they got away, they have no idea on what's going to come after them.<br />Dolly's husband, Harry, who was presumed dead is alive and he's wanting what Dolly and these women have taken from him. Traveling across the country, violence, stalking, whatever he needs to do to get what is his! Dolly knows that not only is it about the money from the raid but also how personal it is! These four women have all the odds stacked against them!<br/>
**I received a copy from BookishFirst and the author/publisher**<br /><br />Imagine your husband was killed and later on after grieving, you discover he is actually still alive and has another woman. But wait, it gets worse! This other woman has had his child! This is what happened to the heroine in this book. But boy was she gutsy. After a heist in the first book in the series, the heroine sets out to clean her husband’s bank account out. I loved the moment he finds out.<br /><br />The characters are all so wonderful in this series. She has some awesome friends. I was hanging on by the seat of my pants all through the book. I don’t know who I was more afraid for, the heroine getting caught by her husband or the husband getting what was coming to him.<br/>
Widows' Revenge is the sequel to Widows. And boy it doesn't let you down! It picks up after the four women do the impossible, pulling off a raid. While they think they got away, they have no idea on what's going to come after them.<br />Dolly's husband, Harry, who was presumed dead is alive and he's wanting what Dolly and these women have taken from him. Traveling across the country, violence, stalking, whatever he needs to do to get what is his! Dolly knows that not only is it about the money from the raid but also how personal it is! These four women have all the odds stacked against them!<br />I could not get enough! Crimes, violence, heartbreak, and death will keep you up. Once you think the rollercoaster is about to stop, BAM, she serves you up with a new twist! Lynda La Plante is definitely the Queen of Crime Drama!<br/>
Lynda LaPlante continues the story of four very different women who were introduced in Widows. Dolly, Linda and Shirley were widowed when their husbands were involved in a heist that went wrong. They recruit Bella when they decide to complete what their husbands started. A major problem arises when they discover that Dolly’s husband Harry is alive and he is now looking for them.<br /><br />From Rio to London, the women keep one step ahead of Harry. An attempt to buy him off ends in the death of one of the women and Dolly knows that they must find a more permanent solution. When they discover that Harry is planning another heist it may be the opportunity that they are looking for.<br /><br />Even though they worked together to commit the heist, they are now distrustful and often resent Dolly, who took charge of the money until it could be laundered. Harry’s return adds to the frayed nerves and bickering but they must once again work together to succeed against Harry.<br /><br />While this is a follow-up to Widows, the book opens with a synopsis of the first book that allows readers who have not read the first book to jump right in to this story. Harry is pure evil and the interactions between the women occasionally becomes grating but I found myself rooting for them to succeed.<br />I would like to thank Bookish First for providing a copy o this book for my review.<br/>
I had not read Widows so I wasn't sure if I could pick up the story line. A short little review at the beginning caught me up on everything I needed to know.<br /><br />I really enjoyed following the four widows into their plan of revenge. Each lady added depth and uniqueness to the adventure. These are the kind of women that we all want to be like; self-sufficient, smart, up for an adventure and always looking out for themselves.<br /><br />I was holding my breath more than once to see if the girls got away with the revenge plot and was sad when the ending wasn't quite what I hoped it would be. I think the author has a great knack for creating a story-line that can continue and also carry over to the movie screen.<br /><br />This was a great escape read!<br/>

If Alafair Burke's the author, you just know it's going to be good!. This story is so well written, you feel you are right there experiencing sympathy for Angela and her son after her husband's been sleeping around, and arrested for rape. But as the story evolves, you are wondering if all the characters have hidden agendas and just who is telling the truth. This story is emotionally charged, you can't stop turning the pages. And then there's the ending that you didn't see coming, but actually makes sense. Alot of secrets, lies,revenge, affairs, false accusations and murder. What more could you ask for. Makes you think, makes you realize not everything is what it seems.<br />Great job and am looking forward to your next book!<br />Downloaded this book today and finished it today--it's just that good.<br/>

I really wanted to read this before seeing the movie, that's why I bought it. Now hoping the movie ends differently or in such a way that you don't feel like someone tore the last pages out of the book. I was like, "Wait...what? Huh? Crap." Otherwise, slightly better than average published writing with some decent twists. Author made a not so bright choice to somewhat compare Donald Trump to a rapist, or at least that is how it appeared. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a horrible POTUS but to my knowledge he isn't a rapist. I'm a Democrat and was turned off by that silliness. So if you don't care for writers who just toss in their "political" views where it isn't even applicable, not the writer for you.<br/>
This book reminded me of a hot, flaky, layered biscuit. You take that first bite and it makes you want another. You keep peeling off those layers and enjoying every little bit and then you get to the end and just want to savor it. There is that last yummy taste and then you can’t wait for another one. I hope Alafair Burke is working on that next delicious book/biscuit.<br /><br />Angela Powell has escaped a dark past and is living with her husband Jason in New York. Everything is looking up for them. Her son Spencer is (from her past) is doing well. Her husband is a professor who is on the fast track to fame and fortune until a woman accuses him of sexual harassment. Things seem to be going okay with that case until another woman accuses him of rape. Angela struggles with what it all means and then the woman disappears. This leads to so many different layers in the book that I won’t begin to even go into except to say, wow. Finding out about Angela’s past as it slowly comes out is the butter on the biscuit. Things are not always what they seem.<br /><br />And the ending…..<br /><br />You won’t want to put this down until you know exactly what has happened in everything, past and present. I will now sit patiently until the next book.<br/>
The book that I stayed up into the night reading and woke up first thing in the morning to finish it because I was in total suspense. This is Alafair Burke’s novel THE WIFE.<br /><br />Without revealing too much. Nice girl with a young son – meet cute nice guy with career about to skyrocket. This is her moment to move on. Just as his career is sky-high… Let’s just say the subject is current, you might change who you’re rooting for from chapter to chapter, and it is full of plenty of creepiness and intrigue to hold your attention.<br /><br />It’s no wonder this book was so gripping, the author is a former prosecutor, Stanford Law School graduate, and now a professor of Law. Talk about quality credentials. Excuse me as I am off to read her previous book, THE EX.<br/>
Wow! I'd sworn off domestic thrillers, Gone Girl knockoffs and the like last year, but The Wife was a happy surprise. After downloading the sample on , I went for the whole book. The plot is relevant to our present "me too" culture, and it moves along, peeling the layers off the characters and events at a steady pace. My only bumps were descriptions and info dumps about someone's water-treatment business, but otherwise, it was a real page-turner. I couldn't decide if the main narrator, Angela, was unreliable, but mum's the word on that. I found her and the other characters believable with the right amount of flaws.<br />Warning you may neglect your laundry and other tasks once you start this book.<br/>
Long, drawn out and an abrupt, seemingly unfinished ending. I was not a fan or advocate of any of the characters, and this always constitutes a rough read for me.<br/>
I'm keep this short to avoid spoilers. This book has fascinating characters. It would be a good book for a book group. There is a lot that can be discussed. It will keep you up late reading and has some completely unexpected twists that you could never even guess at. If you like suspense and mystery, give it a try. You won't be sorry.<br/>
A very timely story - #metoo - that I read it in one sitting. But it didn't WOW me. It's my first time reading this author and she writes very well, her characters are well rounded and story was engaging. I'm giving it only three stars because I don't think this is a book I'll remember in a couple of years simply because the format is similar to so many other screwed-up-marriage mysteries out there. I didn't love Gone Girl, and it seems like almost every psychological thriller I've read in the past two years has a dysfunctional marriage/relationship with twisted behaviors of the man and woman and a big twist at the end. (I have no one to blame for this except myself because I'm choosing these books, so I guess this is a wake-up call to stop buying them.) I would recommend this book to anyone one a beach, plane, metro, or bus. And wait for the paperback.<br/>
If Alafair Burke's the author, you just know it's going to be good!. This story is so well written, you feel you are right there experiencing sympathy for Angela and her son after her husband's been sleeping around, and arrested for rape. But as the story evolves, you are wondering if all the characters have hidden agendas and just who is telling the truth. This story is emotionally charged, you can't stop turning the pages. And then there's the ending that you didn't see coming, but actually makes sense. Alot of secrets, lies,revenge, affairs, false accusations and murder. What more could you ask for. Makes you think, makes you realize not everything is what it seems.<br />Great job and am looking forward to your next book!<br />Downloaded this book today and finished it today--it's just that good.<br/>

Yeah a really good one but pretty easy to predict. A cute beginning to Lucas & Weather's love story...and if youve read any others you know about Davenports scars and injuries...this is the one (SPOILER) where he gets it in the throat.<br/>
It's been a great summer being entertained by John Sandford's Prey series. Winter Prey is the fifth in the series, and I had to wait until I had already gotten to the 18th in the series before I could get this book (library couldn't locate a copy) In Winter Prey, Davenport finds Winter, (spoiler alert, destined to become his wife some 10 books later) and gets a temporary badge back.<br /><br />This is another well plotted killer who Sandford keeps concealed until the very end. The plotting is very good, the characters are very well drawn, and the story is fast moving. For anyone looking for an engaging series you can't go wrong with any of the Prey books by John Sandford.<br/>
John Sanford's books are always gripping but this one was even more so! And the introduction of Weather Karkinnen as a foil to Lucas Davenport really creates great reading! Now I'm hooked on the "Prey" series and can't wait for the next one!<br/>
This starts out somewhat confusing, then becomes tedious for a while. After that rights itself. The second half becomes traditional Sandford. Good plot and interesting characters as usual. Bad guy is very nasty, but he remains well hidden. He was not the most obvious candidate for the bad guy, but becomes just right at the end. This may be weakest Sandford I have read so far because of the problematic start, but but it ends very well. Sandford's books are best read in order, so by the time you reach this book, you will already be a fan. But don't make this your first Sanford book.<br/>
Great book. Kept me on the edge of the seat. Starts off with 3 murders by a fiend nicked named The Iceman who shows up on a snowmobile, torches the house and victims and disappears into the bitter cold and snow. Davenprot is called in for his excellent knowledge. A photo of child porn using local children seeem to be the reason for the murders. The attempted murder of a female surgeon who Danenport has grown fond of complicates the picctures. The ending brings a surprise with it.<br/>
After re-reading Winter Prey for the first time in nearly 20 years, it still holds up and is actually stronger than the newer books and the older books in the Prey series that I've been re-reading lately. The good guys are great and conflicted, the bad guys are despicably horrible. Definitely one of the more intricate plots both in the series and for the genre. Not for the faint of heart, though.<br/>
First, Davenport meets Weather, which is a big plus for the story particularly given what happened two books ago. Second, the mystery around who the Ice Man really is is masterfully put together, just beautifully constructed even though we are with the Ice Man's point of view throughout the book. Lastly Sanford has an eye for detail that you really appreciate as a reader. It's never too much or contrived, but you read this one and the vividness of the portrayals demonstrates true command of the subject matter, which in this case is small town Minnesota during a brutal cold spell...<br/>

<br/><h2>Killing Floor Jack Reacher No 1 Lee Child 9780515141429 Books</h2>
This is my first time delving into the world of Jack Reacher beyond the lackluster movie. I was prepared, based on reviews, to be wowed by Mr. Child's one-man-against-all-odds novel. Unfortunately it was more "meh" than "wow". While the story itself was interesting, with a unique take on a global counterfeiting ring and one man's quest to avenge a brother who strayed too close, the writing itself got to be downright painful. There are just some things I found in this novel that you should never, ever, read from a talented author:<br /><br /> "It was as distinctive as the most distinctive thing you could ever think of" -literally made me cringe<br /> "We high-fived, whooped and hollered" - Once is bad enough, but when this is used 4 and 5 times, with "high-ten" as the only variation, it leaves me scanning pages trying to skip beyond the sophomoric attempt at a written bromance and get back into the actual story.<br /><br />My hope is, with this being an early novel, the writer has matured through subsequent releases. I will be moving on to the next novel still hoping for a "WOW" moment; let's hope it comes with fewer cringe-worthy passages.<br/>

<h2>Killing Floor Jack Reacher No 1 Lee Child 9780515141429 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
Coming back to this novel after all these years is illuminating. The adventure/thriller genre has changed a bit, but Jack Reacher is still there on the top of the heap. What I have always enjoyed is the classic PI independent vibe, with a dash of military "breaking things and killing people." I started re-reading these novels after breaking my long standing policy of not watching movies based on novels I like. I got what I expected. Tom, your Jack Reacher is not bad for a movie character, but not big enough or tough enough to match the character as written. My advice to those who loved the movie "Jack Reacher" should go back to the source and meet the "real" lonesome Jack. Only trouble for me is now he looks like Tom Cruise instead of Fred Dryer. I guess I can get used to that.<br/>
Great read! I started reading Jack Reacher after someone passed me one of the books. I was hooked since and I've read four before deciding to go back to the beginning. The Killing Floor is a great start. We don't get too much background about Reacher but his character is enough to make you want to get to know the man behind the muscle. I really love that he narrates his own story. I can't move away from Lee Child. I keep trying but no book can keep me from Jack Reacher! If you like hard action, thriller, detective type reads then this is for you. You won't be disappointed! And please don't think of Tom Cruise when deciding on these books. He looks nothing like Jack Reacher.<br/>
I love the Jack Reacher series, but the first one is kind of.... poorly written. The chief reason I wrote so is his first book is crammed full of sentence fragments, to such an extent the writer's meaning gets lost and what he tried to say becomes, in many scores of places, incomprehensible. There are so many bad sentences, lacking subject or verb, and even lacking subject and verb, that entire paragraphs are rendered gibberish. Some sentence fragments end up as dangling participles, and the result is some times amusing.<br /><br />Other than the garbage (and I apologize, but I cannot think of a more valid word) due to a seemingly endless number of non-sentences, the book is of course excellent; and the writer improved greatly in later books in the series. I have purchased every one of the Jack Reacher novels, and I have loved the character for over a decade.<br /><br />If people new to Jack Reacher only read this book, I hope they do not conclude all of the books are as poor. As the writer Stephen King also pointed out in his book "On Writing," Lee Child's splatter and spewing of sentence fragments is excessive and annoying in this novel, but not as bad in the others.<br/>
Considering that it’s been 20 years since Lee Child’s first Jack Reacher novel, “Killing Floor” was published I acknowledge I’m late to the party with this review. I’ve avoided this genre for years as there are a dozen guys out there writing this type of fiction. They all seem cut from the same cloth; a former military Spec Ops guy who suffers personal loss and is damaged drops off the grid and drifts around getting embroiled in various subterfuge. He’s big, bad, a master of ‘special skills’, and is just one rung down from having lineage traceable to the planet Krypton. They all seem the same and the stories contrived so they failed to appeal to me.<br /> Well, guess I’ve been wrong because “Killing Floor” grabbed me from the first page. Ex-Army Military Policeman Jack Reacher is 6 foot 6 inches of bad mamma-jama and yes he’s damaged goods, wandering through Georgia when he’s arrested in a diner for a murder which he’s not committed. The story rockets along at a blistering pace with plenty of action, twists and turns, and excitement for 529 pages. I’ve already bought the next two in the 21 (and counting) book series.<br /> In the forward to this paperback edition Child tells the readers his objective when creating the Reacher character was to have someone who was pretty much indestructible- a guy who does not lose and vanquishes every bad guy he meets. He wanted someone different from the flawed and vulnerable heroes in other books and find themselves in mortal jeopardy at every turn and in Jack Reacher he succeeds. Knowing the hero isn’t going to fail does not lessen the suspense and it’s fun watching how Reacher takes down the scum. It’s kind of like satisfaction you get watching a Jason Bourne movie.<br/>

A cute, unique play on the idea of Cupid and his love-inducing arrows, Crazy Cupid Love was fun to read! It's definitely fantasy-based, but it takes place in a contemporary setting, where the descendants of Cupid drive cars instead of flying around on wings. There's a council of Descendants who regulate their people, and the services of Erosians (descendants of Cupid/Eros) can be bought for a fee. It was fun to see all the different ways they helped people find love, and in particular, how each Erosian's skills differed in strength. Lots of thought obviously went into this worldbuilding, and it went really well.<br /><br />Eliza Herman does not want to be Erosian, but unfortunately, life is not fair. Not only is she a descendant of Eros, but she is also the most powerful Erosian in modern history, able to enchant others without a single drop of blood being drawn. This leads to her accidentally enchanting people constantly, and for her safety as well as that of others around her, she has no desire to join the family business. But when her family's business is in trouble, and her brother asks for her help, she can't help but say yes. It's only for a few weeks, after all - what could go wrong?<br /><br />Eliza was so much fun! I loved her hilarious mishaps and her reaction to the many personalities introduced in the story. While I did feel a prologue would have been beneficial, to help me better understand her history, I did eventually pick up on what had gone wrong and why she was so adamantly opposed to working as a Cupid. Her interactions with Jake Sanders, a childhood friend she had a crush on for years, were entertaining, and Jake was a great contrast to her. He was her anchor in a lot of ways, keeping her from drifting off into dangerous territory, and although they definitely butted heads, I loved how he just wanted to protect her. Even at the expense of himself and his own interests. Besides Jake and Eliza, the reader is introduced to other characters as well, including Eliza's family. If you want to read about dysfunctional families, it definitely feels like you can satisfy that desire quite easily for most of the book. Eliza's mother made me mad for about 95% of the book, and her brother was really immature. Given that Eliza's childhood wasn't really explained, it took me a while to understand why they treated her the way they did. Especially when her father was so much their opposite, loving her along with all of her faults.<br /><br />I hope to read more books by this author soon! Crafted in a unique way, this story captured my attention from the first page and engaged my imagination. Loved it!<br /><br />**I received a free copy via NetGalley and this is my honest review.**<br/>
In an alternate world where Cupids are known among the regular humans, Eliza Herman, an Erosian who quit being a Cupid has to become one again to help her family business from going under. Complicating matters is the fact that she accidentally enchants her childhood best friend, crush and current mentor, Jake, which means a sexual-tension filled working relationship at the least, and a new phenomenon where people's enchantments are breaking down. Crazy Cupid Love may be best described as a rom-com-mystery, with a down-on-her-luck protagonist, a sexy love interest and some hilarious clientele.<br /><br />There are three distinct storylines going on in this book - Eliza applying for a license and taking on clients to substitute for her dad who is recovering from a heart attack, her budding romance with Jake being complicated by the enchantment on him, and the weird phenomenon of enchantments breaking down, amidst an atmosphere of distrust towards Cupids and tight regulation of their work. The world that they live in has Erosians out and about doing their work, with consent, but other Greek Descendants living in hiding, and while they have a society of Descendants that collectively manages their matters, Erosians are sort of in the doghouse for outing themselves. This means strict rules about their work and more importantly, their working and personal relationships. Which is why Jake and Eliza have to try hard to not give into their respective feelings for each other (and also the classic unrequited crush scenario being actually requited), not until the illegal enchantment on him wears off. There are some intermittent chapters in first person from Jake that is pretty much a lot of him hiding his feelings from her, and not knowing what to do about it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Eliza has to deal with some interesting clientele, ranging from an old married couple to troubleshooting a sex robotMandroid (god, I loved that scene!) to getting two zoo animals together. Honestly, I would love a sitcom of just the rotating door of wacky client requests that come to her! But the story is about much more Eliza's arc is mostly to get over her fear of her own amazing powers (she is the strongest Cupid that they know of) and to believe in Love as a real thing (seeing the manufactured one a lot can disillusion you). And later, she is also working to uncover a conspiracy regarding the Descendant society. The last quarter of the book had a LOT going on, and it may have partly been my sleepiness (as I was racing to finish it before bedtime), but it was a lot of 'WTF?' for me.<br /><br />The romance was cute in the start, with the misunderstanding between them leading to a lot of awkward scenarios, but also Jake trying and failing to restrain his flirting. Also Eliza is thinking he is not at all attracted to her, but he is trying so hard to not show it that he looks like he is sick. Then it built up sexual tension, and well, there are some steamy scenes, too. The later parts sort of fizzled out the romance, as they were involved in the conspiracy thing, plus another thing that caused a rift between them, which is why the epilogue felt a bit rushed when it came to the romance, but overall, it was a satisfactory ending to their story.<br/>
It's a delightful read it you like really sugary romances. Sadly, I don't. And I don't remember why I thought to read it or where the e commendation came from. Not graphic unimaginative sex scenes. Hard tries at laughs. Pretty formulaic.<br/>

<br/><h2>Love You Gone A gripping psychological crime novel with an incredible twist eBook Rona Halsall</h2>
This was a very intriguing book. I am going to keep my review brief because the less you know, the more you will enjoy the book...<br /><br />I was hooked on the story from the beginning and it kept my attention until the very last page. Every time I thought I had figured out what was really going on, another clue would be revealed and I would start second-guessing myself. I would read and then think, 'no way!' What a roller coaster ride full of twists and turns! I did catch on to one part of the storyline, but the outcome was shocking (and I will admit thinking something about that character that was not very ladylike)!<br /><br />I could not put this book down once I started it — I stayed up way too late tonight reading. I kept thinking 'just a few more pages,' but I had to know what happened next! A great five star read!<br /><br />AfterThought: This is the first book I have read by Rona Halsall, but it definitely will not be the last!<br/>

<h2>Love You Gone A gripping psychological crime novel with an incredible twist eBook Rona Halsall Reviews</h2><br/>
The author did a wonderful job keeping up the suspense. The book starts out one way and then goes off in several directions. The ending was perfect. Sadly in our world today, we meet all kinds of people and many come with disguises and they are able to manipulate. This book should be read as it can help us identify, to some extent, the character of those we meet in life. Bravo.<br/>
This book was written very well and pulled me in from the first page. There are two sides to every marriage, but domestic violence in any form outweighs other issues and this writer did an excellent job outlining the abuses suffered in this story. The ending was not surprising, but well thought out and delivered.<br /><br />This is a quick read and well worth the price paid!<br/>
I like novels that are described as "thrillers" or "psychological" thrillers to live up to that name. I do not enjoy novels described as such that wander around, in slow motion, never seeming to arrive at a point that lives up to the description. This definitely was not one of those reads. The characters were interesting and the plot was psychological but also fast-moving. I enjoyed reading it.<br/>
I've read a few psychological thriller books, and while they all love to claim that you will be unable to put the book down, this one was actually true! Very good book.<br/>
Luke's wife (Anna) died suddenly of an aneurysm leaving behind a daughter (Tessa) & a son (Callum). About a year after Anna died, Luke met Mel. It had been a whirlwind romance. Eight months later, they married. On their wedding night, Mel hit Luke for the first time.<br /><br />Mel had completely underestimated how hard being a stepmother would be. She was struggling to slip into a role of mother to two children who were still grieving. Luke had seriously underestimated how hard it would be to integrate into a harmonious family.<br /><br />Luke had one view of parenting & Mel had another. She verbally abused the children & she threw away all the pictures of their mother. Callum started wetting the bed. The violence escalated. Unable to control her anger, which flared up in an instant, they all tiptoed around her. They were afraid of her. But, the last thing Luke needed was social services or the police getting involved, because he had a BIG secret.<br /><br />Sometimes, he went out & wouldn't tell her where he was going. She suspected he was having an affair. She paid an expert in surveillance to follow him. She discovered that he was involved in something illegal. She threatened to go to the police with her evidence, IF he left her. Then, what would happen to his kids? Fearing for their safety, Luke took the children & they "disappeared". But, that didn't go as planned.<br/>
I enjoyed this, and I recommend not reading some of the more negative reviews here because they contain plot spoilers. Seriously people, stop doing that. It's one thing if you didn't personally enjoy a book but don't ruin it for others who might like it. So rude. This was an enjoyable read and I'm going to check out the author's other book. She knows how to tell a good story.<br/>
Too bad. I enjoyed the beginning of this book, but the novel suffered a serious decline in plot/character/substance about a quarter of the way in. I understood the references to "Gone Girl" in other reviews, which is one the reasons I picked this one up, but there are major differences between having a plot IDEA and executing it well.<br /><br />Some spoilers ahead<br /><br />The protagonist in the beginning SEEMS sympathetic, but cracks appear early on, indicating that Not All is What it Appears. We then find out that this character is, to the contrary, Rather Awful. The counterpart, her husband, is then given ample space in the narrative to weave his part of the plot, which makes him out to be the Victim Here.<br /><br />The problem is, Mel (the wife) is a classic abuser, and the husband (Luke) gives classic excuses for her behaviour. When he allows Mel to use him as a punching bag, to terrorize and finally physically damage his children, a reader is profoundly chilled by his own actions. There's no excuse for Luke's passivity; his character has never been portrayed as classically damaged or flawed to the point of inactivity, he has no severe childhood scars that excuse his lack of care and compassion for his children.<br /><br />The shallow characters and weak plot points bring this novel down. I saw everything coming a mile away, but I didn't even CARE. What separates bad novels from good novels is the careful details and the build up of character is good novels. We may find the characters repellent in a good novel, but at least we understand them; they are never caricatures. They have depth; they seem real. In so many novels I read nowadays (okay, I read like a fiend, good novels, bad novels, mediocre novels...) authors seem indifferent to the thought that everything in a narrative needs fine-tuning. Make the audience CARE about the people who inhabit your universe. Otherwise, you have a plot that may be interesting, but if cartoon characters live there, who cares? If they die, I certainly don't. If they have two-dimensional motivations, then nothing pulls the plot along in a compelling way.<br /><br />I've said my piece for the day. Off to read another maybe good/bad/mediocre/indifferent novel.<br/>

Through a highly engaging and readable text, we join a mixed group of farmers, tradespeople, and resident academics in rural upstate New York as they are born in the realization that acting together, non-violently, and with sacrificial resolve, they can protect their beloved lands and everyone's futures from ill-thought governmental-industrial dumping of nuclear waste in their midst.<br /> The beauty of the book is the author's letting the people speak for themselves as they each face personal and sometimes professional challenges in the unfolding drama of building effective resistance to bad government policy.

<br/><h2>Sharp eBook Michelle Dean</h2>
Author Michelle Dean could herself be the 11th entrant in this book of ten ‘sharp’ women writers of the last century. Her erudition, insight, and synthesizing acumen make the book both an education and a delight.<br /><br />Part biography, part literary criticism, part social history (with more than a dollop of well documented gossip), Ms. Dean weaves together differing and at times prickly threads (uh, think Hannah Arendt and Pauline Kael) into a coherent and engaging narrative.<br /><br />I wanted to read Sharp because (shame on me) although I recognize all the names here, I knew little of the ten writers profiled (make that eleven if you count a short chapter - short shrift? - on Zora Neale Hurston). True, if I was really motivated I could have read the wikipedia articles and surfed the web, but Ms. Dean’s book held out the promise of a comprehensive overview coming from an an informed and engaged writer who has spend some time with her topic.<br /><br />I wasn’t disappointed. I learned enough to whet my appetite, and I plan to read both Mary McCarthy and Joan Didion for sure. That Ms. Dean brings together a bit of cultural history and the feel of the times adds an invaluable context for her subjects.<br /><br />I am not sure I buy the feminist angle - and neither did some of these writers - but happily it is applied with a lighter than usual touch. All of the 10 are most worthy and all achieved more than a modicum of success.<br /><br />True, at times Ms. Dean’s narrative becomes embroiled in long past literary feuds which were of interest only to an in-crowd even then, and some of the presumed significance of the New York literary scene itself is excessively reverential, nevertheless there is not a lot to skip over here.<br /><br />I hope Ms. Dean is not offended when I say her book is a great place to start for those coming to these authors for the first time. No previous knowledge is needed, no critical background, just a willingness to learn about some great writers and their work.<br /><br />Let me end with a personal preference for the sharpest of the sharp: Dorothy Parker. The oldest of the ten, and the one with the least formal education (she never finished high school). Maybe she didn’t deal with the big issues but she sure had the keenest of insights. Yup, a lot of her work is dated and much of her light verse is dead on the page. But when she was good, she was very, very good. So good that when Ms. Dean quotes a picture caption written for Vogue at the beginning of Parker’s career, the wit is piercing and still hysterically funny.<br/>

<h2>Sharp eBook Michelle Dean Reviews</h2><br/>
No podía dejar de pensar, mientras leí este fascinante estudio sobre escritoras grandiosas, todo lo que perdimos en Noviembre del 2016.<br/>
The book starts out a bit slow; the first chapter reads as though there will be separate chapters for each woman. After that, however, the author illustrates the interactions, positive and negative, among them. Lots of interesting facts about them all. A very good read for anyone interested in the literary women of recent times.<br/>
Insightful, inspiring, ascerbic - highly recommend.<br/>
My friend loved it!<br/>
I wanted to like this book, but didn't. Our book club chose it for our June book. We all decided the author didn't care for her subjects or chose to portray them in the worst light possible.<br/>
Well written and enjoyable read.<br/>
My 3-star review is perhaps random because I ended up picking and choosing which chapters I wanted to read. I was more interested in some of the women over others. But I love the research that went into each chapter, the pulling of them all together...bravo. I never would have known what I know now about the fabulous women portrayed in this book.<br/>

Her erudition, insight, and synthesizing acumen make the book both an education and a delight.<br /><br />Part biography, part literary criticism, part social history (with more than a dollop of well documented gossip), Ms. Dean weaves together differing and at times prickly threads (uh, think Hannah Arendt and Pauline Kael) into a coherent and engaging narrative.<br /><br />I wanted to read Sharp because (shame on me) although I recognize all the names here, I knew little of the ten writers profiled (make that eleven if you count a short chapter - short shrift? - on Zora Neale Hurston). True, if I was really motivated I could have read the wikipedia articles and surfed the web, but Ms. Dean’s book held out the promise of a comprehensive overview coming from an an informed and engaged writer who has spend some time with her topic.<br /><br />I wasn’t disappointed. I learned enough to whet my appetite, and I plan to read both Mary McCarthy and Joan Didion for sure. That Ms. Dean brings together a bit of cultural history and the feel of the times adds an invaluable context for her subjects.<br /><br />I am not sure I buy the feminist angle - and neither did some of these writers - but happily it is applied with a lighter than usual touch. All of the 10 are most worthy and all achieved more than a modicum of success.<br /><br />True, at times Ms. Dean’s narrative becomes embroiled in long past literary feuds which were of interest only to an in-crowd even then, and some of the presumed significance of the New York literary scene itself is excessively reverential, nevertheless there is not a lot to skip over here.<br /><br />I hope Ms. Dean is not offended when I say her book is a great place to start for those coming to these authors for the first time. No previous knowledge is needed, no critical background, just a willingness to learn about some great writers and their work.<br /><br />Let me end with a personal preference for the sharpest of the sharp Dorothy Parker. The oldest of the ten, and the one with the least formal education (she never finished high school). Maybe she didn’t deal with the big issues but she sure had the keenest of insights. Yup, a lot of her work is dated and much of her light verse is dead on the page. But when she was good, she was very, very good. So good that when Ms. Dean quotes a picture caption written for Vogue at the beginning of Parker’s career, the wit is piercing and still hysterically funny.<br/>

<br/><h2>When The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Daniel H Pink 9780735210639 Books</h2>
4.5★s<br />When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing is the fourth book by bestselling American author, Daniel H. Pink. If we’re making an important life decision, what we decide obviously requires careful consideration. But what about when we decide? Could the time of day that we make a decision be significant? Could the time of day affect how well we learn or do our work? Does it really matter when we have that first cup of coffee? According to Dan Pink, it definitely does.<br /><br />In this intriguing book, Pink examines the importance of good and bad timing. He begins by explaining how our individual chronotype (easily established) determines both our mood and our ability to perform at any given time of the day: how it affects our professional and our ethical judgements, as well as our physical function.<br /><br />But he doesn’t just pontificate on the best time to do something for future success and happiness. He acknowledges that not everyone can control their work environment or the financial climate as they enter the job market. Pink also gives practical suggestions for dealing with less than ideal conditions, as well as hints and tips to improve everyday life.<br /><br />Pink supports his points with data and simple, clear graphs. The depth of his research is apparent in every paragraph, and supported by his extremely comprehensive (26-page) notes section detailing references for each chapter. As well as six suggestions for further reading, Pink includes an 8-page index. But the most useful thing about this book is his Time Hacker’s Handbook: salient points from each section are condensed into summaries full of hints and tips and practical exercises that appear after each of the first six chapters.<br /><br />Pink explains in detail: why having a coffee before a power nap makes sense; why combining a lunch break with an education session at 1pm (as some teaching hospitals do with their Grand Rounds) is counterproductive (ditto 8am lectures for University students); when the worst time to be a hospital patient is, and why; and the reason some people have the so-called “mid-life crisis”.<br /><br />He looks at the effects of starting one’s career during a depressed jobs-market; why a mid-point (in a project, in a career, in a life) can cause a slump or a spark; how to overcome a bad start; when to quit your job; when to get married; when to exercise; the importance of breaks; and much, much more. Illustrating his points are choirs and rowing teams and basketballers and dubbawalas delivering tiffin tins and Hanukkah candles and the captain of the Lusitania.<br /><br />Pink’s fourth book should be compulsory reading for bosses, educators, and schedulers, for policymakers, company executives, and performers, but there is plenty in this fascinating book that the average person will find applicable to their lives. This is a quick read that rewards time spent with some excellent insights. Recommended!<br/>

<h2>When The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Daniel H Pink 9780735210639 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
I've read all of Pink's books, starting with Free Agent Nation back in 2002 when I launched my own business. He has a gift of taking boatloads of facts, research and scientific experiments and making it all readable and applicable for the common man. And that is what he has again delivered in When. The cited research can at times come at you fast and furious, as if it's on a pre-Christmas distribution center conveyor belt. But if you're patient, he will put eventually put a bow on it and tell you what it means for YOU. And to that note, I'm already using the When Daily Planner to prioritize my Peak, Trough and Recovery periods of the day. With Pink's books you will always learn something useful about humans at work and how you can personally benefit from the mounds of research on the topic.<br /><br />Now my only question is...why was I just now taking time from my highly productive "Recovery" portion of the day to write a book review on ? Oh well, I guess I still have work to do in successfully implementing of all these great ideas!<br/>
I thought I was good at time management. And then I read Dan's new book. Now I realize that I knew nothing about the science of timing or true productivity. As with all Dan Pink books, When, is well written, well researched, and completely eye-opening. I can't wait to start applying the principles of When into my life and work. When should you buy this book? Now! It really is a game changer!<br/>
With a group of sixth graders today I read aloud the introduction to WHEN about Captain Turner's Decision. I asked the students to close their eyes and create pictures in their heads about the sinking of the ship the Lusitania. I read the few pages aloud, ok with some drama Daniel Pink would have been proud of! I did this as part of a lesson about comparing and contrasting the sinking of the Titanic to the Lusitania. Before we could get to my lesson objective the students wanted to know more about WHEN and the timing of things. They peppered me with questions that I don't have answers to, YET! I can't wait to read more of WHEN and share it with students and educators everywhere! #AwesomeDay<br/>
I expect that Pink will always write a worthwhile book, so I pre-ordered it, expecting a few good tidbits and affirmations of what I recommend on my site and in my book Life Value Productivity.<br />As he digs in deep(er) than almost all of us would never do (including many “good” writers), he comes up with insights that are counter to what we might think (or assume, using logic, but without verified facts!).<br />Though the most known is the day time (ultradian rhythm) which I also write about, he points out how this “flips” around to be a relative opposite for “night owls”, who do their recovery in the morning (though it is somewhat known, it is largely misunderstood and misapplied) - which is very, very, very significant for that 20% of so of the population who fall into that category.<br />Honoring one’s natural rhythm by doing the “right things at the right time” during the day is ONE OF THE VERY BIGGEST EFFECTORS OF EFFECTIVENESS and productivity and on one’s life in general, including one’s happiness.<br />The book is a “nice read”, but I would recommend that you first read the highly useful, super productive “guidebook” at the end of each chapter to see what to actually do - and then go back and read the rest more at your leisure.<br />Implement at least the first two chapter guidebooks right away, right into your life NOW (take no more than a week!). I also recommend you do the timing trick that he recommends for weight loss, where you can comfortably eat fewer calories...<br />These strategies are mostly the “just do this exact (easy) thing, and you WILL get ‘x’ desired result.” NOT JUST MAYBE...<br />Implement these 100%, strictly, into your life and schedule and I GUARANTEE your life will be massively improved!<br />Keith D. Garrick<br />Life Synthesist<br/>

How many truths can one book hold? Every page brought a new way of thinking, a new perception of who God is and thus, who I am in Him.

Never before has a work of fiction touched my life so deeply. I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for their true identity in this life.<br/>

<h2>The 49th Mystic Beyond the Circle Ted Dekker 9780800729783 Books Reviews</h2><br/>
When I give this book five stars, I mean five stars. I like Ted Dekker's style of writing. His writing flows easily and is understandable. This book is action-packed, thought-provoking, and well worth the read! I love the fact that Mr. Dekker addresses the fact that so many of us are blind to how much God really loves all of us -ALL of us - whether Christians, Muslims, unbelievers, etc. But, do we truly know and understand the Extent to which God loves us and what our Identity is in Him?<br />Mystic doesn't mean what I thought it meant, when I looked up the definition of Mystic, while reading this book.<br />This book is very interesting and can also be filed under the genre "Syfy."<br />It is the first of a duo, and I can't wait for the next one to come out in October 2018!<br/>
As usual this new Ted Decker novel did not disappoint! He draws the reader into an engaging fantasy world of good, evil and the unknown. This is a wonderful book for everyone but especially for the generations raised on science fiction and fantasy books, movies and other media. The story set in this fantasy world in fact illuminates for the reader some critical Biblical principles found in the Christian Bible. Mr. Decker has a talent for bringing them to life through the characters and situations in the story in a very powerful way. I experienced several “aha” moments when I read this book. Yes, I knew these principles but I had never experienced them in quite this way. I can’t wait for the second book in this series because I know that there is more. Thank you Ted Decker for sharing your God given gift of writing with us!<br/>
The Circle was an innovative series and one I enjoyed tremendously. It's not my favourite of Dekker's but rate it very highly.<br /><br />I didn't feel I needed to revisit The Circle as I can recall at the time feeling that it had perhaps gone on for a book too long, however, it was fun being transported there again and reacquainting myself with the Roush, Shatiaki, Elyonites and such.<br /><br />Rachelle is a blind teenager who has developed a method of 'seeing" by way of echolocation clicking. She lives in a secluded town called Eden which is separated from the rest of world. The residents believe that much of the rest of America is constantly under siege from enemy forces, however, they are safe in their isolated haven.<br /><br />Rachelle undergoes an operation which goes 'wrong' and this enables her to be transported in her dreams to another world. The world of The Circle.<br /><br />As with all Dekker stories there is a lot going on so you need to stay on the ball and there's good pace that keeps you reading. Rachelle soon discovers that she is a 'saviour' of sorts (ala Thomas of Hunter) and must find 5 seals to save the world. She gets caught up in a variety of dangerous situations in both worlds that put at risk her chances of discovering these seals. She is confronted by a number of evil types who want to stop her mission and rain down chaos of one of worlds.<br /><br />But what is significant about this story is the explicit messaging that underpins it. Dekker has undergone a significant awakening of his faith since finishing The Circle which he documents in his non-fiction work The Forgotten Way and the Way of Love. The key messages of these works he attempts to incorporate in this two book series. I think you will gain a greater appreciation of these messages if you read The Forgotten Way first. And if you're not a Christian you may struggle to enjoy the novel because much of the story involves exploring these key concepts of being the beloved of God. I've read a few reviews that have expressed concern for Dekker's faith, suggesting he's succumbed to New Age-thinking and/or failing to properly communicate the full message of the gospel, but having read The Forgotten Way these claims aren't true. Dekker has developed into a modern-day mystic of sorts and he writes like one.<br /><br />I think this story met my expectations. I kinda wish he'd left The Circle alone and perhaps created a new story world to express his revived spiritual messages and hence, in some way this is a tad deflating. I felt Rachelle was going through a similar experience as Thomas of the Hunter and that it had been done before.<br /><br />However, if you haven't read The Circle series you will appreciate the story world, Dekker's perspectives on good and evil and how he weaves his messages into the story.<br /><br />The story doesn't really end and we need to read Part 2, The Rise of the Mystics, to round it out. Perhaps an 800-page volume may have been better, however, the best suggestion might be to wait until the 2nd one comes out before reading the first. With it coming out in the next few days I'm looking forward to diving deep and finishing it off.<br/>
One of my sons and I have been reading Ted's books for a number of years. I bought him a copy for his birthday and a copy for me to read later when I have some time... at least that was the plan. I decided to read a little bit just to get an idea of what it was about. Yeah, you know what happened. I couldn't put it down. I just finished it tonight and am now looking forward to book two. While I'm waiting I'm going to read The Way of Love. I really appreciate Ted's ability to show the story. With all the 5-star ratings I don't know if the book really needs another one, but I wanted to through my 2-cents in.<br/>
Wow! He's done it again! Ted has blown my mind and challenged me to open my eyes and see life through a new perspective!<br /><br />If you’ve not read a Ted Dekker novel before, prepare to be thrilled and amazed (and hopefully hooked). If you have read Ted, be prepared to dig deep and be amazed. Either way the 49th Mystic is an incredible story that will not disappoint.<br /><br />Ted has the incredible ability, the gift really, of taking a Biblical truth that is difficult to understand and even harder to apply and through his stories he paints a picture of what these truths look like lived out in everyday life. And now he paints us a picture of what it looks like to walk in our true identity, as the Father sees us. I am amazed. I am changed. I am renewed to continue walking. And I am more than excited for the continuation of this incredible journey in book two.<br /><br />In true Ted fashion, he has given each reader a choice. You can read this book as the incredible, in-depth story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, turning pages, so difficult to put down. Or you can choose to let it grab hold of your heart and lead to a deeper level of God’s truth that is Biblically sound. Whether you read it for the story that will blow your mind or accept the challenge to let God speak to you at the same time, you are in for the ride of your life. Do we have eyes to see and ears to hear, or not - the choice is ours.<br/>
How many truths can one book hold? Every page brought a new way of thinking, a new perception of who God is and thus, who I am in Him. True freedom can be found in the pages of this book if you are willing to stretch beyond the current landscape of what you thought you knew. A thrilling story of how to live beyond fear. Never before has a work of fiction touched my life so deeply. I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for their true identity in this life.<br/>

<br/><h2>Halsey Street edition by Naima Coster Literature Fiction eBooks</h2>
Naima Coster's Halsey Street is an enticing novel that is worth spending your time and money on. Her characters are so real, so nuanced that you want to hate them, encourage them, yell at them, and hope for them. It is the kind of story that will make you FEEL, and most readers will relate to some of the characters' darkest feelings and thoughts even if they'd never admit so aloud.<br /><br />Grounded in gentrified Brooklyn, the novel primarily alternates between DR and NYC as well as between the female protagonists' points of view, to tell the story of a fractured family, the difficult relationships between mother, daughter, and father. It is a haunting reminder of how the trauma of personal tragedies, such as a loved one's death, and shared loss, such as gentrification and poverty, can pass through generations of a family. The author paints a vivid picture of the human consequences of trauma--depression, alcoholism, adultery, self-harm, and more. It is clear to see how such trauma leads to several of the characters' poor decisions as parents, spouses/lovers, and children.<br /><br />What I like most about Halsey Street is that the novel calls into the question the idea of the American Dream, sharing overlapping stories of how parents of color can work hard to claim roots in New York City but can quickly lose everything they toiled for when richer people take an interest in their homes, their businesses, and their neighborhoods and steal it away from them. The book presents a story about lives that are, in and of themselves, intersections between countries, races, ethnicities, languages, and socioeconomic classes and accurately explores how challenging it is to be the person who straddles all those conflicting worlds.<br /><br />Contrary to what another reviewer states, the author thoughtfully incorporates bits of Spanish into the dialogue in a way that is authentic (and easily translated online for those who do not speak the language.) Including Spanish phrases enhances Coster's examination of language as a tool and a hurdle, of how difficult it can be for family members to communicate with one another when they cannot find the right words to express their true meaning, how foreign one can feel in their own home.<br /><br />Full of grit and yearning, Halsey Street paints a somber portrait of a young woman seeking freedom and the long, rocky road she must travel to get there.<br/>

<h2>Halsey Street edition by Naima Coster Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews</h2><br/>
This book had its ups and downs for me, but all in all, it is one I'll remember. Ms. Coster paints a vivid view of neighborhood gentrification and what it means to the original inhabitants of an area. They certainly feel loss for the "old neighborhood." While this takes place in BedSty, it could be anywhere big-city USA. I was impatient with Penelope at times, wallowing in self-pity for her dreams unrealized, yet unwilling to change. Ralph's loss of the store he cherished due to a new wave of sushi, health food, and designer coffee shops is very poignant. Less compelling is Mirella's tale, her dislike of her life and her flight to the Dominican Republic. She is not a very sympathetic character which makes her parts of the book of less interest to me. I didn't get the feel of the island that might have elevated those sections. Samantha, Marcus and Grace represent the newcomers to the neighborhood who believe they're making things better, but at the same time fear the neighborhood as unsafe and make no effort to become part of their new home place. Samantha uses a hired car to take her into Manhattan and does not ride the subway or walk in BedSty. Ms. Coster does overdo the Black/White, us vs. them, theme, I think. Once we know which characters are Black, the reader doesn't need to be reminded again and again. This was a satisfying read and one that makes you think outside your own experience. The writing style tells the stories of these characters smoothly. This was time well spent.<br/>
Having read other people's reviews of this book, I agree with those who say that the main characters are selfish and lacking in awareness of other people's humanity. Penelope uses other people without regard to their feelings and casts them off when she no longer is getting whatever it is she wanted from them. She no sooner meets the family she is renting from than she begins to size up the husband as a possible bed mate, writes off the wife/mother as 'the landlady ' and starts to form a bond with their little girl without regard to the effect her subsequent adultery might have on the child or parents. But they are just well-to-do white people, so why worry? She has already been shown picking up a somewhat naive white 'boy' (grad student), taking him to bed and then showing her scorn for him as she walks out.(Being white, black or brown is really important to Penelope.) Penelope is a teacher who cares nothing about teaching and little about her students. She often treats the kindness of others with contempt. She is prone to sudden hissy fits and outbursts of rudeness that she seems to take satisfaction in. Running, drinking, drawing - these absorb her to the exclusion of almost everything else. Although she seems to begin to find herself as an artist at the end of the book, the major flaws in her character go pretty much unexamined.<br /><br />The most likable of Penelope's family, perhaps excepting her deceased grandmother, is her father, Ralph, with whom Penelope has always had a good relationship. She has had a difficult relationship with Mirella, her mother, and has pretty much written her off after Mirella left Ralph and returned to the Dominican Republic where she was born. Neither Ralph nor Penelope seems to have a clue as to why Mirella left, or bothers to ask her. The author does not emphasize Mirella's reasons, although they are subtly sketched in through the couple's years together, Ralph has never really included is wife in the parts of his life that mean the most - his beloved music store and his circle of (male) friends. Mirella would have been glad to work in the music store with him, but he won't allow it; instead, she works for years cleaning houses for white ladies. She is almost invisible in her own little family circle. It's Ralph, Penelope, and The that matter - not her. The author seems aware, to an extent, of the flaws of her protagonist, less so of Ralph, and more so of Mirella. I feel that Mirella deserved a fuller development, showing more of her own feelings of being shut out by her husband and never at home even in the village where she grew up. Are we to excuse Penelope's selfishness on grounds that she is 'an artist' and artists (stereotypically?) drink too much, have casual sexual relationships, and are more into their own 'thing' than less talented people? Or that she never got the kind of love she wanted from her mother? Or that at age 30 she is pretty emotionally immature and lacking in awareness of other people's complexity?<br /><br />I found this book worth reading. The language and style are memorable, as are the characters. I wished for the author to somehow reveal a broader and deeper understanding of the complexity of the various characters, especially the ones less central to Penelope's point of view - not that they be developed as a more important part of the story, but that, at least, they be shown as something more 'human' than Penelope thought them to be.<br/>
