Review: Be Careful What You Witch For

Be Careful What You Witch For Be Careful What You Witch For by Thomas Hoobler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For an honest review I was able to receive this book from Netgalley...

This book made me laugh and remember what it was like to be a over hormonal teenager all at once. The author did a good job with making sure the characters acted like real teens, more often than not some authors forget to do that.

I wasn't to thrilled with how the book ended but in a way I guess it was left open like that incase there is a second book coming. Which I hope there is because I would love to see how Olivia handles things from now on.

Review: Iced

Iced Iced by Karen Marie Moning
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great book by KMM! I do admit it did throw me a little bit the going back and forth between the different POV. I loved being able to read Dani's story an can't wait for the next one. The ending left a big cliff hanger, that makes it hard to be patient for the next book!

Review: Last Chance Beauty Queen

Last Chance Beauty Queen Last Chance Beauty Queen by Hope Ramsay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great read from this author! With each story you get to know the characters a little more, I loved how Rocky tried so hard to fight who she was an in the end accepted it. It shows that no matter how hard you fight it, there is nothing wrong with being yourself.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great book! I was glad to finally read Nicholas's story....tho it did seem like there is more to the story than what was told, but that is just the vibe I personally got reading the story. Hope to hear about Pine Creek again an to see more of Spellbound Falls

Review: Take Me Home for Christmas

Take Me Home for Christmas Take Me Home for Christmas by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG Brenda Novak has done it again! Through out this book I was hanging on to the edge of my seat. Until they had found Sophia's husband's body I was for sure thinking everything to he was gna come back an make her life hell...to he was really dead to he was faking it an going to try to kidnap their daughter!! I was also cheerjng for her and Ted that they would get their happily ever after. Something with Ted an Eve just didn't feel right to me. BUT I am hoping Eve finds true love soon!! The thing that bugged me was the Sheriff! He needs his badge taken away an tarred an feathered!! He made me so mad taking everything out on Sophia.

If I could go higher than 5 stars I so would. I think this is one of her best yet!

I received an advance copy so I could give an honest review

Review: White Heat

White Heat White Heat by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Novak touched on a lot of taboo issues with this book. Everything from the cult background, to the abuse of women to how the "cultleader" seen his sexual preference.

It held me in suspense from beginning to end! Having Rachel grow up in a cult like environment made the book more interesting because you weren't sure what way she was going to go. I wish I could have seen a little bit more on what happened with the cult after finding Sarah and Martha but am happy with the ending.

Review: Stranger in the Moonlight

Stranger in the Moonlight Stranger in the Moonlight by Jude Deveraux
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Disclosure:I won this book from Goodreads.com Thank you!!

I felt like this book was missing something...idk if it was lack of passion, spark, anticipation...but it felt rushed. I have read ALL of Ms. Deveraux's books and they have all had heart an it is almost like you are in the book while you are reading it, but this one lacked that.

One of the main things I was disappointed in was how she did Travis's half brother, it was almost like he was an after thought...let alone how fast he got engaged!

Normally you see the characters with a conflict or struggle, with this one the characters go from having childhood feelings to being adults with the same feelings...ya in a way Kim held a grudge because he suddenly disappeared an you see a mention about a plaque that Travis had but honestly it was almost like an after thought.

I know that when there are bad reviews it gets taken personal an thats what it felt like with this book that all the bad reviews from the past made this author not put any heart in this at all.

Review: Gone Girl

Gone Girl Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book not only kept you guessing but once I got past the what the...just happened...moment I couldn't put it down. The ending was a little to be desired for....to much was left unsaid an open for me, it makes me wonder if there will be a book 2...

Throughout the first part of thebook you were kept wondering...did he kill her, did she frame him, is this some sick game between them, than you find out he has a mistress so you wonder did the mistress do it....did she help the husband...and through it all there is conflicting emotions..

Review: Come Home to Me

Come Home to Me Come Home to Me by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brenda Novak did it again!!! This time Aaron and Presley got their happy ending!! It may seem strange but I loved watching the struggle that Presley had with keeping her secret. Though it worked out in the end! I couldn't put the book down! Although I understood WHY Aaron did what he did for Chey....I have a feeling that this secret is not going to end well....which makes me sad.

I am interested in seeing what comes next with the series. Riley, Eve, the other Amos boys and their step mom...(tho I am suspicious of her!)

Thank you for giving me a chance to read this in advance!!

This Heart of Mine This Heart of Mine by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG!!! I have to say this is one of her best ever!!!! I loved seeing Riley's side of the story an getting Pheonix's side. Really he would have been justified in keeping Jake away from her because she WAS convicted of murder BUT I was so glad he didnt and that they both found love again I give this 10 stars!! I CAN NOT wait till the next book!!! I was so proud of Jake for standig up for his mom and believeing in her

Review: A Winter Wedding

A Winter Wedding A Winter Wedding by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am always amazed at how she does it. But Brenda Novak just seems to KNOW how to pull the reader in and keep them there from beginning to end!

A Winter Wedding is essentially Kyle's story. It gives the reader a chance to understand what happened between him and Noel. It also gives him a chance to find love again just like all of the Whiskey Creek Novels.

I loved how Kyle and Lourdes became closer and even though she came to get away from what she seemed to think was a failure, to me it was fate bringing her to the one person who would never give up. and I think they both were able to let go of the past (something Kyle really REALLY needed to do.) and make a fresh start.

I admit I had to read the story twice because the first time it felt like something was missing or something was a little rushed. It was mainly during the scene with his ex wife but after reading it again I feel like yes something was missing but that maybe it was done on purpose. that MAYBE we will learn more of what happens with Noel later on.

I stand by the fact that this was a great book and a "can't put it down the husband is on his own for dinner and the house can be cleaned later" start to finish kind of book.

Review: Zoo

Zoo Zoo by James Patterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was a little hard to get through at first because it would switch back an forth between the main character an sometimes it would be what a particular animal was thinking which made it very confusing for me. After I got to "book 4" it all started to make more sense an go together which helped! It also kinda makes you wonder if this is something that could really happen at some point....

OMG Brenda Novak has done it again!!!! This book has kept me in suspense from begining to end!

Review: Perfect Timing

Perfect Timing Perfect Timing by Catherine Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was blessed to recieve this book in advance.

Another Great read by Catherine Anderson!!!! In a way I almost felt sorry for Quincy, ALMOST I do admit at the beginning you get very frustrated at Quincy because he is SO stubborn, which is where I was at. I also laughed throughout the ENTIRE book, and cried.

Once again it is Catherine Anderson at her best! I couldn't put it down. I am glad to be part of her review team. She showed family unity at its best! Everyone pulled together for not only Loni but Ceara. This book shows that with a little faith ANYTHING is possible. While in the beginning Quincy was stubborn about the how and why Ceara came to be there. He finally came to realize all it takes is a little faith.

Review: Walking On Air

Walking On Air Walking On Air by Catherine Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My thoughts on the book r good and bad *ducking at the rotten tomatoes thrown at me)

I LOVED the book for the most part. It was hard for me to get thru the religious aspect of the book first. Honestly had to read it twice. I've read a lot of your books n this is I think a first where religion or some aspect has been to me a major part in the plot.

That being said I LOVED Gabe an Nan!!! I loved how Gabe learned what the true test was for him an it felt like I was there every step of the way in his journey. I was nervous an anxious while he debated on saving little Charity. I laughed when he talked with Christopher an cried when the towns people stepped out an threatened the gunslinger. I am equally glad he decided to listen to his heart....

After reading it a 2nd time I understood the "religious" aspect an it didn't bother me as much as before. I give this book 10 stars an 2 thumbs up! Thank you so much for giving me a chance to read this story.

Review: With Malice

With Malice With Malice by Eileen Cook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received and ARC copy from Netgalley.com

Wow....at first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not because it had sort of a Amanda Knox vibe to it but once I got going it was really good! I started filling bad for Jill because of the memory lost and the online trolls and the end was really shocking but also left me wondering if it was a real memory or one that was inserted in there because of everything people kept throwing at her. Overall it was a great book and I would definitely recommend it to my friends

Review: New Leaf

New Leaf New Leaf by Catherine Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Catherine Anderson has done it again!

In book 2 of new hit series Mystic Creek we hear Barney's story.
Getting a call for a disturbance he meets Taffy...like with some of the authors stories there is a common theme....but instead of running from an abused husband it is Taffy who has been accused of abuse. Getting together seems like a good way to get her daughter out of a bad situation but with Barney it takes him doing a little digging to see if Taffy was being honest.

I laughed, cried, felt like hitting my head against the wall with Barney and at times yelling at him to stop over thinking and make a move! I admit I was a little concerned about the book in the beginning because I had trouble getting through some of the pages but once I got going I couldn't put it down!

Nirvana (Nirvana #1)Nirvana by J.R.  Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this ARC copy from Netgalley.com to give an honest review so here it goes:

At first I was very confused on where the prolog fit into the story because it didn't make much sense.

After reading the entire book which I loved I realized there is more to this story than what was given. I felt like you had to read between the lines a little bit.

Basically the main female lead wakes up one day to find her financee gone, supposedly dead and the Dr. She is sent to go talk to perscripes her sessions in Nirvana this virtual reality thing so she can grieve over the loss of him. While going through the process of this her fiancée starts leaving her these breadcrumb clyes for her to follow. The ending was made me go oh no what now. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
