How Did That Mouse Get In Our House by Reid Kaplan
***** Five Stars

What an awesome children's story. I loved the mouse on the cover so much I one-clicked this book and I'm so glad I did, what an wonderful story to go along with the brilliant illustrations.

Bravo! To both the author and illustrator. The final product is nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend this book to anyone with or without children, because it was such a fun read.

Review: The Dragon Warrior of Kri: A Shiva XIV Story

The Dragon Warrior of Kri: A Shiva XIV Story The Dragon Warrior of Kri: A Shiva XIV Story by Lyra Shanti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This short was an excellent story following Meddhi as he trains and becomes a warrior. It's a great introduction to the Shiva world that the author has created.

I haven't read the Shiva series and this short makes me want to explore more of this universe and the people in it.

Nicely written, intriguing and well paced! Highly recommended!

Review: Found

Found Found by Adrienne Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What a great story, well written and flowed along great. I have to say I loved the style of this author which pulled me into the story right from page one.

Darwin is a regular guy living in what seems like a normal world but his life is anything but normal.

There are 5 books to this series that I read within a couple of days I was so hooked. And I'm happy to see there is now a novel to follow these 5 books, which I intend to start reading right away.

Great job! Keep up the great story!

Review: Dark Silence

Dark Silence Dark Silence by Katze Snow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Dark M/M story!
I was given an ARC copy of this novel by the author.

Dark Silence is a twisted tale of a mad man's altered view of the world. Claude Galen is a man who has created the world he thinks he wants but learns the world is no longer his wish.

Tristan, a young gamer who gets caught in the master's trap, was once a normal boy living his life, making Youtube videos with his best friend until his world comes down around him.

This is a story about abuse in all forms, from all sources and really shows all sides of a dangerous situation.

Review: The Final Rule

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Final Rule
This is a great example of truly well written story. Right from the start it had me turning the pages to see what would happen next. All the characters were believable and as real as watching the story unfold in real time. I can't say enough about this author's talent, she had something special that should be enjoyed again and again.

All three novels in this series were great and kept me guessing until the very last minute. I would highly recommend these novels to anyone who loves a great suspenseful story.

Well done!

Review: Unicorns are real and other cool poems

Unicorns are real and other cool poems Unicorns are real and other cool poems by Sarah Northwood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What an enchanting illustrated book of poems. The illustrations throughout this book are phenomenal which adds to the poetry being written. If there was one thing I would point out and it's small is that some of the poems are difficult to read given their background. Other than that this book is really well done!

Review: There's No Such Thing As People

There's No Such Thing As People There's No Such Thing As People by Michelle Williams-King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What a wonderful illustrated children's book. The illustrations in this story are not short of spectacular and the story flows with each illustration. I love the little monster and I could see him as a Saturday morning cartoon. I loved this book from the first page to the last.

The flip of story from a monster in the closet to a boy in the closet that a monster is scared of is a wonderful touch. I enjoyed the underlining lesson of how fear can make us miss out in so much in life. Nicely told and I can't wait to see what else you do with little monster.

Well, done, Michelle. I hope you have much success with your stories!

Review: Bumbling Bea

Bumbling Bea Bumbling Bea by Deborah Baldwin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bumbling Bea
What a cute story of a youngster by the name of Beatrice, an eighth grader who is having a difficult time keeping her opinions to herself. And what opinions they are!

Beatrice is a regular kid who is learning the lessons of true friendship, what that means and how to be a great friend. It's not an easy feat for her, but she does seem to learn a lot more than she bargained for.

The story is centered on a grade eight school play which is a unique element. We really don't hear enough about the world of theater so this made the experience all that more enjoyable.

Well done Mrs. Baldwin on an excellent story and having the ability to immerse yourself into the mind of an eighth grader.

An excellent read!

Review: The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery

The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery by Jennifer S. Alderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery
What an intriguing story set in Amsterdam a place I've never been to, but now would love to see. The way the author describes everything is nothing short of spectacular. I feel like I was standing right there.

The story or a young Zelda and an internship and eventually entry to the master's program she has applied for is mystery and excellent. As we follow Zelda as she stumbles her way through a trying time for the museum she is interning for and the case of returning stolen art work to the rightful owners. Zelda tries extremely hard to impress the project manager only to mess everything up.

The story behind the stolen art work project was fascinating and told with great detail a lot of this I had no idea had went on or is still going on. So thank you for teaching me something.

I give this book 5 of 5 stars and would recommend this novel.

Well done, Jennifer S. Alderson.

Review: Sweet Discovery

Sweet Discovery by Aliya DalRae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet Discovery by Aliya DalRae

When I stepped into Fallen Cross I had no idea I'd be in for the adventure of lifetime, but that is exactly what happened while reading Sweet Discovery. Jam packed with action, thrills and chills, Mrs. DalRae has outdone herself once again.

If you have not started this series, what are you waiting for? Run don't walk to purchase these stories, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Join Jessica Sweet, Raven and many other lovable characters try to navigate this crazy thing we call life.

Well done, Aliya DalRae. Can't wait for the next one, so get writing!

Review: Broken

Broken Broken by Jex Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

[bookcover:Broken|34447556]
What can I say about Broken except I'm brokenhearted I finished it.

Jex Lane has outdone herself once again. Just when I thought she couldn't possibly top Sire... she does. The story is so captivating from page one to the very last. My heart ached, was full of joy, and was completely pissed off at times, but that is how I know these books are the real deal. They make me feel anything and everything.

It's going to be a long year waiting for the next installment, but I have a feeling something else, Jex Lane, has up her sleeve will keep us satisfied.

Thank you, Jex Lane, for providing such a wonderful world to escape to, even if it's only for a little while. Well done!

Review: The Chimera

The Chimera The Chimera by Adrienne Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Chimera
Interesting world created and a big fan of the story. The story is completely engaging and had me turning the pages quickly to see what would happen. Kaleb is a dream character with just the right amount of innocence and smarts to make him memorable.

Leo, is a lion, but can only roar. He's complicated, domineering but a complete cub underneath it all. Not that you'll know that, it's the underlining of the story I believe. Or, perhaps I'm completely wrong. *runs off to read the next volume*

Well done Arienne Wilder your story is fabulous!

Review: Miriamne the Magdala

Miriamne the Magdala Miriamne the Magdala by J.B. Richards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Miriamne the Magdala-The First Chapter in the Yeshua and Miri Novel Series by JB Richards

What can I say about this masterpiece 2000 years in the making? I will admit, I was reluctant to read this novel believing it was about Jesus and the bible. Boy how wrong I was and I've never been happier to be wrong either. This story, at its core, is about young love and the struggles that plague us all when falling in love for the first time.

What a delightful, intriguing page turner this turned out to be. I was mesmerized throughout the entire story. Yeshua and Miriamne are the perfect couple. Although, we know of Yeshua's destiny it didn't damper this story one bit.

The way JB Richards weaves this story through this novel with beautiful scenery, explanations of so much misunderstood text, and the subtle way in which she handles the miracles preformed throughout the story, is nothing short of brilliant. In one scene in particular, Miri births a goat and after reading this scene I truly feel as if I was in the room watching the scene unfold. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Thank you JB Richards for sharing such an inspirational story and persuading me to see the novel for what it is, a young love story that will fill your heart and soul.
