I totally loved this book! As a former first grade teacher, I could very easily see myself sharing this wonderful tale of friendship with my students. Gollie and Bink are like any other younger elementary aged kids with their interests and also differences. Children will totally relate...

This compact 'How-to' Handbook breaks down everyday life problems into six sections, making it easy to navigate and find what kinds of skill you need help in. This is a huge plus! I hate when reference books only make you more frustrated with complicated directions. ...

I was lucky enough to read THE IMMORTAL RULES when it was a 2012 Cybil's nominated book. Not another vampire book, I thought. Boy, was I dead wrong! And the second book ETERNITY CURE is even better than the first! I mean, what's not...

I love resources that help me with my own writing process. I'm a huge fan of stories that are emotionally packed. I feel ripped off if I read a story that deals with heartache and grieve and skips over the emotion the characters must be feeling. ...

I'm a huge fan of paranormal romances and PROPHECY GIRL is that and so much more. First off I totally fell in love with the voice. Amelia Bennett is a demon hunter who would eat Buffy the Vampire Slayer for breakfast. Her voice is hilarious with just...

I really love this premise of a girl who finds out she's able to time travel in hopes of stopping bad things from happening. In this case, Mira finds out her long lost mother is in fact a time traveler. One day, out of the blue, her family...

Once I read the blurb to this YA paranormal, I knew I HAD to read this book! Entangled is fast becoming one of my favorite publishers. Dante is filled with ‘tude and thinks he’s all that. He just happens to be soul collector...

The premise of LUMINOSITY intrigued me. A society of Seers whose dreams help their people against the dreaded Dreamcatchers. Beatrice is a Seer whose visions are the clearest of all the others in her community. Only she has a secret. She's seeing a Dreamcatcher, who is warning...

This is the perfect ebook novella to read while waiting for the second book in THE SELECTION series: THE ELITE. I really loved reading Prince Maxon's POV. This novella shows us the selection through his eyes. I loved seeing how he viewed the girls including...

I love fun twists on any ancient legend. In this case this would be Greek mythology. Perez takes some Greek mythological creatures and places them in modern day Minneapolis. What you get is one fast-paced ride with romance, mystery, and betrayal. Nyx Fortuna is a...

I admit I'm a huge fan of the 80s. I left home to attend a private university in the later 80s. During this time I discovered the nearby clubs around Salt Lake City. Along with the good times I saw other things like the drugs that could...

I'm a huge fan of Coliloquy interactive ebook serials. It's fun and unique and totally thinks outside of the box. Parish Mail is one of my favorites! This second installment has us following Celia as she tries to find her missing friend. Her other...

When I read the blurb for HOW TO LEAD A LIFE OF CRIME, I was intrigued. A school for 'misfits' that trains them to be criminals. Only these teens are orphans and have serious 'issues' like Flick who is a pickpocket. Others are Meth-addicts, serial killers, and...

Violet is back! I'm totally a huge fan of this YA paranormal series. So when I received a galley of the third book, I did my own Snoopy dance of happiness! Right off the bat, fallen angels literally crash in on Violet. But this...

UNTIL I DIE has two great things working for it: an unique paranormal twist and it's set in Paris, France. I loved the first book DIE FOR ME and was excited to be able to read the next book in this series. The setting is a...
