                          MY REVIEW 
      
Adeline is on the run from the Magistrate with her best friend and the new ally that she really doesn't trust yet but knows there is something between them . Lars is her best friend and Nicholas is the one she really can't trust yet but Adeline knows that they were meant to be together . When a dead body turns up Adeline is pushed to the top of the wanted list. Can she figure out why Nicholas and her life is entwined and she needs to figure out and unravel the curse.
    Now I must say that Adeline , Lars and even Nicholas are growing on me . Adeline you just want her to win so badly . She is one feisty girl who is more then meets the eye . She is tough but also so sweet sometimes you want to wrap her up and hug her . Other times you want her as your best friend and fighting on your side. Lars well he is like your big brother , he knows you and wants what is best for you but sometime he goes about it the wrong way . He is also a big pain in the behind when he thinks he is right but proven wrong . Non Nicholas he is the wild card , there is more to him but do we really want to know what he can become . You don't know if you should trust him or not They are becoming more complex in the second book . 

    This is a relatively fast read and i read it in an evening . The story starts right where the first book ended and picks up rather fast . The characters are well written and I  really like where the author is taking them . I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story . I love this authors writing but there were just a few problems in this book that would be worked out with a good editor . I also felt that there were a couple of areas in the book that just kind of dragged and could of been tightened up a bit . Over all i truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what happens to these characters . So if you want a snarky sassy heroine and two hot sexy warlocks this is the book for you , Check them out

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

 Good Thursday all , its another foggy day here a great day to snuggle down with a good book . Today I have a new to me author Leslie McCauley and her book RISE .

                            BOOK BLURB 

     Antoinette Madison is a beautiful woman in her twenties, just beginning to stand on her own two feet. She can see nothing but endless possibilities in her future. She has it all. The dream job, her first home and a strong family by her side. Nothing could possibly bring Nettie down, or so she thought. After what begins as a typical night with a friend, her world is turned upside down in an instant. Changing everything she expected out of life and love forever. Nettie, determined to put the fractured pieces of her new life back together is reminded time and time again that fate has other plans. Nothing could have ever prepared her for the events that one fateful night put into motion. Every impossible choice she is now faced with will carve out a future she couldn’t possibly imagine. Will Nettie be able to overcome her trauma, her loss, and her heartache? Or will she succumb to the darkness nipping at her heels? She must look deep inside herself and find the strength to become her own savior.

                         MY REVIEW 
     Antoinette has it all , a great job , her first home and parents that love her very much. Until the night the unthinkable happens and she is attacked in her home and violated in the most horrible ways possible. After which she has to put her life back together and she is detemined to get her life back. Will she be able to come through the darkness and be the strong woman she knows she is . 

    Antoinette aka Nettie what can we say about her, she is strong with everything that she goes through . There are moments that she actually is a little bit whiner . Yes i said it she is a whiner some times through out the book . Over all she is strong and feisty and wants to get on with her life . Jessie is her best friend and I love her she is a no holds barred fighter who will fight with and for her best friend . I also feel that she is underrated cause she takes so much from Nettie and she still is there . She is a true friend . Even her parents are sweet and loving and want to do what is best for Nettie but sometimes they do come off a bit smothering over all they are the parents you want to have in your corner . You will love them. 

   This is a book that you can get lost into , I read it in two days and was intrigued all the way though. The characters are well written and the story will have you hugging the ones you love and then locking your door and checking all rooms. The first part of this book will have you on the edge of your seat hoping that Nettie will come through what happens to her . The second have will have you crying , tears of joy and tears of sadness .  There were a few spots that I feel that fell just a little flat in the second half of the book .  Over all i truly loved this book and I did get invested in the characters and what they went through. I can't wait to read more from this author . So if you want a book that will make you cry and rip out your heart and then mend it up again check out this book .

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL

 Good Monday all , today is a fog filled day, a great day to snuggle down and read . Today I have a graphic novel for you . JUSTICE LEAGUE/ AQUAMN DROWN EARTH by Scott Snyder.

                            BOOK BLURB 

    In the aftermath of the Justice League’s battle with the Legion of Doom, an armada from the stars has come to plunder the Earth and its seas. With powers beyond comprehension, even Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the rest of the League’s combined might can’t stop these invaders. With nowhere left to turn, these heroes will have to turn to an ancient power to help them, one that even Arthur Curry fears unleashing. Collects Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth #1, Justice League #10-12, Aquaman #40-41, Titans #28 and Aquaman/Justice League: Drowned Earth #1.



                       MY REVIEW
   After the JUSTICE LEAGUE defeats the Legion of Doom . Do they get a break ummm no . An armada of alien ships come down to plunder the Earth's seas  The league can't defeat them unless they tap into an ancient power that Arthur doesn't want to unleash. 

  Going to say that DC has redeemed themselves with this run . Aquaman is usually the brunt of most of the jokes in the DC universe . They really do all the characters in this series .  Aquaman is the real hero of the story and he really does the story justice . 

    Scott Snyder has taken this run and made it epic series . The characters are well written and the story is tight and well written . I am such a DC fan and when i sat down and read Scott's run I was thrilled that the story took me on an adventure and the characters had me cheering . The artwork is good I do have a few issues with it . I think it could of been a bit better . The close up work is great but the wide panels leave a little to be desired . I am falling in love with DC again . So if you want a great run of JUSITCE LEAGUE  check them out .

HAPPY THURSDAY ALL

 Good afternoon all today is foggy and cool out so I sat down and read a new book from a new to me author . THE NOT - SO DEAD ( The Dead Series number 1 ) by Isaiyan Morrison


                            BOOK BLURB 

   

All Faye wants is another chance at being normal: hanging out with friends, playing video games, reading the latest Manga... As a wraith, her craving for a normal existence seems forever out of reach. When she makes the move to the small town of Hueman, Texas with her not-so dead nomadic family, she prays this fresh start will be the one that sticks.

Until... one of her kind is murdered by a mysterious man in a black mask.

With only Carter, an unlucky human witness, by her side, Faye must find a way to prevent the body count from rising and protect her family’s secret identity. As the man in the black mask lurks in the shadows waiting to strike again, her choice becomes a matter of life and death.

In the face of true evil, being normal is overrated. 

                       MY REVIEW 
     All Faye wanted was to be normal , she wanted to hang out , play video games and do what any normal teenager does .  But her life isn't normal being a wraith puts a real damper on the whole normal thing . When they move to a small town. They think that they might have a chance at normal until they start dying at the hands of a mystery man in a black mask . Now Faye needs to find out who is trying to kill the family . Also trying to keep the body count from rising and keep her family safe . 

   The characters are well written and you will really like Faye . She is you typical teen ager when you first meat her. She loves gaming and reading Manga and just wants to be normal.Being a wraith doesn't let her do that . She is one gutsy, feisty girl who you will love to read . Carter is the human who is actually falling for Faye and he is sweet and kind and just wants to keep Faye safe . They are so cute when they are together and they can kick some butt also , 

   This is an interesting book the first one I have actually read about Wraiths . The author sets them up very well . I love the whole family aspect of them and how they keep each other safe . The book is a dark , daunting story that will keep you on the edge of your seat . The action will have you turning pages all night long . I do feel that there are a few parts of the story drug just a little. Over all i truly enjoyed getting to know about Wraiths and can't wait till the second book .  So check it out .

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL

  Good Wednesday all , finally coming out of the frigid cold that has been blanketing us . I have a hot little book for you to read TO BE CHERISHED  by Robbie Cox .

                            BOOK BLURB 

  
A broken marriage, a troubled past, a chance for redemption if only she took it.

Cherish Lansky watched as her husband stormed out the door, bags in hand. With her infidelity exposed, she couldn't blame him. Her cravings for a past that ruined her life once just ruined her family, and it was all her fault. She needed to fix her marriage, but did that mean denying a part of herself?

The anguish of his wife's betrayal gripped Glen Lansky's heart like a life-crushing vise. He sacrificed everything for her, for their family. How could she destroy her family like she did? What did she miss that he couldn't give her? How could he fix them when he didn't even know they were broken?

She needed To Be Cherished when she couldn't even cherish herself. Glen saved her once, and now, she needed him to save her again. She feared he didn't still love her enough to, not only forgive her, but help her live again. Could Glen bring her back from the bottom and put her on top again?

                         MY REVIEW 
     Cherish Lansky is hiding something from her husband and her family is falling apart . When her husband leaves she realizes that there is something that is missing in their life . She needs to be cherished and saved but is her broken hearted husband Glen up for the challenge .He saved her once but can he save her and their marriage again . 

    The characters are very complex and well written . Cherish is a complicated woman who has lead a wild life in her teen years. Sometimes she comes of as really needy and naïve at the beginning of the story as the story goes on you see her become the woman that she is destined to be . Glen is a sweet guy that has been pushed to the limits of his relationship. He really wants to get his relationship back . He sacrifices everything for Cherish now its time to take back the power . With every marriage has families and these families are polar opposites of each other . They also make lives complicated for each of them . 

   This is a complicated book of love and life and what it means to get back the relationship and love a couple needs . You watch them hit rock bottom and try and build their relationship back together. The author takes us on such an emotional ride. You will be sucked in and most of the time you are on the edge of your seat . There were moments I felt that could of been condensed  and yes there were times I really wanted to shake the main characters and say wake up . Over all I really enjoyed this book and the story line was one that happens all the time . So If you want a good read with flawed characters and the road to redemption. This is the book for you . So check it out .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

  Well its Wednesday and its still frigid out there, so another day of reading and eating storm chips , yes I said storm chips .  Today I have a cool new book and author for you . TALES OF THE SEA WITCH  by Lou Wilham

                            BOOK BLURB 

  

No creature under the sea is born dark; some just lose themselves.

Irsa's name was lost long ago to the obscurity of being labeled a villain. Born with enough magic to boil the ocean, all Irsa wants is a simple life with her best friend, Aislin. But when they discover their connection is more than just friendship, the pair must fight all odds to be together.
Surviving the sea isn't easy, but Irsa has never known any different. With Aislin by her side, she must face a wicked witch, defy a prince, and maybe gain all she ever wanted: a happily ever after.

Tales of a Sea Witch is an origin story full of mermaids, and undersea magic for fans of Tithe by Holly Black, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

                       MY REVIEW 
   Whats under the sea , Irsa is born with enough magic to boil the ocean . She just wants to live her life with her best friend Aislin. When they discover that there is more to their relationship then just being friends . Things start to get difficult for them  and they loose what they had to keep each other safe . When their love is tested will it survive or will Irsa be lost to the history books as a villian . 

   This book is a twist on the lil mermaid . The characters are well written . Irsa has been through so much , i don't think that she is evil I think that she was misunderstood . Noone really got to know her and when they did they thought she was evil . I actually liked her as  a character . She isn't afraid to be who she is and will do whatever it takes to be that person . Aislin is her best friend but there is more there . Aislin is a sweet girl who loves Irsa even when its wrong to. She is light and sweet but sometimes comes off as a little naive at the beginning of the story . There are so many people against them that when they are together they are the best of what each other needs . I love that they are so sweet together . 

   This book is a great twist on the story of the little mermaid . We get to see the characters before Ariel. This is the story of Ursala or as they called her Irsa . There is a lgbtq aspect to this story which I thought was well written for a fantasy book . The characters are well written and complex . The story is one that will keep you flipping the pages all night long . It is a fast read and you are taken to a place under the water where you want to stay for awhile .  I really liked this story and i really wanted to hug Irsa and tell her that everything will work out you don't have to become a villian . I think you should grab this book for an evening of reading you won't be disappointed . If you like fantasy this is the book for you ,

HAPPY RELEASE ALEATH ROMIG

   Good morning all , I hope your Tuesday is going well  and you aren't in the deep freeze like I am . If you are in the deep freeze or having unseasonably warm weather I have the book for you . SPARK ( Web of Desire book one ) by Aleatha Romig

                            BOOK BLURB 

 
“From a little spark may burst a flame.” ~ Dante Alighieri

A simple ember to dried kindling can ignite a raging fire.

I’ve made my mark and proven my loyalty to a man, a city, and a way of life. That loyalty has provided me with all the spoils of success. For the longest time, that hasn’t included a woman at my side.

There is only one beauty that can bring my untapped desire to life.

I shouldn’t have opened the door. Cracking open the stone and striking the flint is my doing. What follows is hers.

With something so intense, will this spark lead to a blazing inferno? Will we make it out of the ashes before everything I hold dear is ravaged?

From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance, Spark, set in the same dangerous world as Secrets and Twisted. You do not need to read the Web of Sin or Tangled Web trilogy to get caught up in this new and intriguing saga, Web of Desire.
m
SPARK is book one of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that continues in FLAME and concludes in ASHES.
Have you been Aleatha’d?

                         MY REVIEW 
   When the girl of his dreams walks back into his life , she isn't the innocent young runaway that he helped . She is the woman that will knock your socks off , but he thought she was dead . Why is she here and playing poker in an all stakes poker tournament . There is more to the girl that stole his heart in that alley . He wants to know why she was gone for so many years and she wants to stay but there is a reason she left and that reason will either bring them together or blow their whole world apart . 

   This story has I swear the best characters that the author has written to date . Maddie is a sweet girl that has been through so much and has grown up and learnt things the hard way . In some ways she is still the young girl that Patrick knows but in other ways she is a tough as nails poker player that has so many secrets . She is such a complex woman that you want to just hug and say things will be ok . There is so much you want to unravel in her life .   You will love her when you start to read her . Now Patrick oh what can we say about the sexy man who is part of the Sparrows force . He is tall and sexy and oh so alpha . Patrick has also been through so much from his life , from life on the streets to the army to the elite group that is going to take down the underworld . You really want to either climb him like a spider monkey or hit him in the back of the head cause how stubborn he can be . They are a complex couple that you want to find out more about each of them . They are explosive together and will have you fanning yourself . 

   This book starts off with a bang and keeps you hooked from the first chapter . The author takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotion . This book is fast paced and goes on in a two day period with a poker tournament as back ground .  For being the first book in the series I like that the author took us on the roller coaster ride and really didn't bog us down with back stories . She blended the back stories seamlessly with what is going on today .  There is intrigue and oh the romance well it could make you kindle melt and your cheek blush . Ok going to tell you there is a big and i mean big cliff hanger at the end and so can't wait till book two comes out , crossing fingers I am hoping soon . So if you want a book that will heat up your cold nights this is the book for you .  Trust me you will not be disappointed and you will fall in love with Patrick and Maddie.

ITS MONDAY

   Good morning all its Monday , does it seem like the weekend just flew by . Today I have a book that will have you on the edge of your seat . SHATTERED  by Bree M Lewandoski.

                            BOOK BLURB

  
They said it was nothing--that she was being paranoid. 
When it was just the coffee shop, she believed them. But when the man in the long brown coat starts appearing everywhere Mara Engle goes, nothing anyone says can take away the fear pricking at her. 
The night he appears on her balcony, she doesn't stop to ask herself why she's suddenly calling the man she left ten years ago. In that moment, the sound of Shay's voice is her only comfort. 
The chase is on. Every time there's a moment to breathe, that brown coat looms closer. Why her? How does he know Shay's name? 
A villain with violence in his eyes. A woman caught by fear. And the man who won't lose the love he once called his own. 
Ready? Set. Run. 
Bree M. Lewandowski takes her readers for a ride in this romantic suspense novella! 


                           MY REVIEW 
     Mara Engle is not paranoid but seeing the same man in the coffee shop over and over . But when he starts showing up everywhere she is nothing that anyone tells her will calm her fears . The one night he shows up on her balcony there is only one man she can call and she left him ten years ago. When she hears his voice memories and feelings start to resurface. With the help of the man she left behind they will be able to get to the bottom of the man stalking Mara . Will they be able to get back to feelings they have and will the stalker ever be caught . 

  Mara and Shay oh my what can you say about these two . Mara is a feisty woman who has been emotional shaken by a stalker . She is scared but wants to find out who is stalking her . We actually see her grow up when she is on run with Shay . Which I loved it shows how much growth you can do even under stress . Shay is the strong silent type, an ex military hard shelled man but when the woman he never stopped loving even after their divorce . is in trouble he is there to help her . Yes ladies he is all alpha man but he is also a little tortured with the feelings for his ex wife. I truly liked these two  and they just got better at the end.

   This is a novella that has mystery and intrigue but also a slow burning romance . The author takes us on a roller coaster ride until the big climatic ending . the characters are well written and the story flows very well . You can really feel the tension in the characters and you really want to find out who the stalker is . Trust me i was on the edge of my seat most of the time . Really wanted to know who the stalker was because he was one scary dude .  I was also hoping for Shay and Mara and that they would get a romance going .  The ending will kick you in the butt and make you sigh with happiness at the same time . So if you want a novella that you can read on a snowy evening check out this book you will be surprised how much you get sucked in .

WELCOME BACK UBER GIRL

 Good Saturday all , I hope that your weekend is going well . Today I have book two in the  Uber girl adventures ALIENS ATE MY HOME WORK by Matthew S Cox



                            BOOK BLURB 

 
Kelly Donovan wants to save the Earth from aliens, but her plan has a serious snag—she needs to do it before bedtime.

It’s been a few weeks since the Nolmek scattered giant crystals around the world that unintentionally gave some people super powers. They also nearly eliminated war and shared technology to solve famine, drought, and pollution, so pretty much everyone loves them. Alas, the aliens didn’t visit Earth purely out of kindness.

They needed a primitive species to enslave.

Kelly discovers they’re speeding up their plans, already abducting people from the super-prison right out from under the cops’ noses, the same prison her mad-scientist father is stuck in. She’s desperate to protect him, but unfortunately, no one is willing to believe the Nolmek could be bad guys. Worse, they know she’s on to them.

If she can’t find proof of the aliens’ plan, stop the invasion, and be in bed before nine, she faces worse than the enslavement of humanity—she’ll be grounded.


                             MY REVIEW 
  Welcome back, several weeks later and all Kelly wants to do is save the Earth from the aliens that have landed . But the aliens have ulterior motives  after  cleaning up the pollution and stopping almost all war. They are now rounding up people to be slaves . Kelly and her best friend Paige discover the plans and want to save the earth but no one believes them . Now with the help of her friends Kelly is going to save the world and be home before nine or face something more then enslavement , being grounded for being late . 

   I simply adore these characters . Kelly is still the sweet young girl with a secret identity . She is caring and so lovable . She is stronger then she lets on . I simply love her and really connecting with her through out the book . This little girl has gone through so much and has come out smiling and happy . Her dad is in super prison and her mom is missing . She does amazing well . The Nolemek  are too sweet but they are hiding so much .  Trust me you will fall in love with these characters . Cheering Kelly and the gang on . 

  This story picks up a few weeks after the first book . The characters have grown a little and they have a complexity to them that a few good books have .The author takes us on a fun filled ride that will keep you laughing all the way through the book . It shows that evil isn't black and good isn't white . There are really shades of grey and you can always help out even if you don't have super powers .  There is also a sub story of best friends and how with a great friend on your side you can do anything . You and your kids will love these stories . So check them out . You will not be disappointed . .

                        MY REVIEW 
      Mason LanVal has spent lifetimes honoring his vows as one of the seven Blood Knights . He did without wavering in his fight , that all stopped the day that Faith James came crashing into his life .  Faith James is in France to find her sister who is missing . They are own missions in life but they come together in a dark forest . With inherent genetic traits within Faith can either bring them closer together or rip them apart forever . 

    Mason LanVal what can we say about this man . He is honorable . broody . sexy and an immortal . One of seven that have been made to guard the HOLY GRAIL and to keep the bloodline pure. He takes his job seriously . You will love him just cause he is so sexy and you feel safe but also like you are prey when he looks at you . Faith James is a strong woman who has secrets that she really doesn't know she has . She is fierce and will do anything to get her sister back . There is more to her then everyone realizes . They are such a great couple and they do bring the heat and lots of it .

This story is filled with characters that will drive you crazy and you will love at the same time . They are complex and oh so well written .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

 Good morning all , its Wednesday of the first full week of being back to normal in 2020 . Today I have a great book for you and your middle school kids to read . THE ADVENTURES OF UBERGIRL. MY DAD IS A MAD SCIENTIST  by Matthew S Cox


                            BOOK BLURB 


Saving the world isn’t easy. It’s even harder when you’re only nine.

Kelly Donovan used to be a nobody. Well, a smart nobody. Skipping ahead a year in school made her the smallest kid in fifth grade and a target for bullies in search of an easy mark. She tried to follow her father’s advice and ignore them, but it didn’t do any good. Escaping into her favorite comic books at least helped her through the day. Who needs friends anyway?

Sometimes, dreams find a way to come true, even if nobody asked them to.

Aliens bombard the Earth with gigantic glowing red crystals to restore its failing magnetic field. Soon after the seemingly benevolent invasion, Kelly discovers her wildest, happiest fantasy come to life: she has superpowers, along with roughly two percent of the population. Her strong good nature leads her to adopt the heroic persona of Ãœbergirl. However, she has one major problem…

Her dad’s turning into a mad scientist.

It’s difficult to be a hero, especially when your father’s a bad guy.

                             MY REVIEW 
  What's a girl going to do, Kelly is a smart girl a very smart girl . So smart in fact that she was moved up a grade and that's where things start to get bad for her. Being the smallest in the class she is getting picked on by what I will call the mean girls . They have done everything to make her life miserable . Until the day comes when Kelly is at her lowest being hung up in a back pack . When aliens come to Earth with glowing red crystals . Kelly discovers that she has super powers. Which prompts her to become a super hero . She finds out how difficult it can be especially when her dad is becoming a bad guy. 

    What can I say about these characters . They are well written and you will fall in love with them . Kelly is such a sweet girl who has done nothing wrong except be smart. You will really feel for her . She is bullied every day cause she is younger and not the same as everyone else .  I love how she grows as the story goes on and with the help of her best friend she really matures . Being a super hero is pretty cool too . You will cheer for her through out the book . Her parents are well there are things that come out that will make you want to slap them lol . They are quirky but they are also sinister in their own way . Paige is her best friend and actually Kelly's champion , they are the same but not the same . I love them together . 

   This is a middle school age book but i seriously think that any parent would love to read it along with them . The author really tackles a few things that happen in school . Bullying being the hot topic at the beginning of this story . He doesn't dumb it down , he treats it very well . The author really what can happen when it happens . This isn't a heavy bullying story . Its kind of like the main characters back story and it kind of lays ground work for when she becomes a super hero .  This book is great for those who are a little bit older in middle grades . The story is complex and your kids won't want to put it down . There are some areas that will make you want to wrap Kelly up and keep her safe . Then there are the times you are laughing and screaming go Kelly go, especially the scene with the mean girls after she got her super powers . I can't wait to jump into book 2 and see where Uber Girl goes and how will she get her parents back from the dark side . So add this book to your kids reading list for 2020 . You read along with them, you will love it .

HAPPY RELEASE DAY ROBYN PETERMAN

 Good morning all , the first new release of the 2020 goes to the always hilarious Robyn Peterman and book six in the Sea Shenanigans series JINGLE ME BALLS .

                            BOOK BLURB 

  
What in the salty seas could be more important than presents at Christmas time?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Tis’ Christmas time on Mystical Isle and just like the fat bastard in red, I’ve made a list and now I shall check it… twice. Yeah, twice. I might wear a diaper, but I’m not an arse.

Battle the human women in sweatpants and snow boots for electronics on Black Friday. Check.

Cover each palm tree in lights even though the Mermaids insist they look phallic. Check. By the way, what does phallic mean? Never mind. Check.

Moving on.

Weave a Christmas tale during family story time on the beach, have a family portrait made in the special sweaters I pilfered, and write a letter to Santa. I mean, fat bastard… Check.

Planning activities that may end in bloodshed. Check. That’s what I call a yuletide win, so check-check.

The Mermaids have baked lovely Christmas cookies that will go wonderfully with the rum in my diaper. And everyone has voted to veto caroling since Pirate Doug has a singing voice that can kill… literally. The present exchange would be ruined if everyone was dead. Could my days be merrier or brighter? Uh, no. Check.

It seems I have everything under control and Christmas on Mystical Isle will be unforgettable, or I’m not the Well-Hung God of the Sea, Poseidon.
And I am. Check.

                             MY REVIEW 
   Well it is Christmas time on Mystical Isle and who better to get everything ready for the girls and their mates . Poseidon well he isn't the best person or should i say God to do the job but he is sure trying. From pilfering ugly christmas sweaters to decorating the palm trees  what could go wrong . Well if you know Poseidon things never go as planned . Things always go awry. Oh and for an added pressure there is a surprise guest or two that will be making an appearance to the island . Will the gang have a Merry Christmas or will Poseidon ruin it like always . 

  Poseidon and the gang are back , I absolutely love this cast of characters . They are so well written and hilariously inappropriate . Poseidon  what can we say about the diaper wearing drunk . He commanders this book as he takes on Christmas . He is hilarious and well really not so smart in some things but that's what make you love him . Pirate Doug and the girls are back and trying to stop his Christmas decorating . Trust me guys you will love these characters they are inappropriate and crude . 
   
   This is such a fun read , you will laugh your butt off . The author takes us on a fun filled Christmas story of love and laughter . This book so reminds me of christmas's with any family out there . We all have that uncle that just is boisterous and loud . We have sisters and brother n laws that really just get on your nerves . But you love them and their antics . This is a fun story that will have you laughing all the way through . So if you want a great read for you weekend check it out . You will be laughing all night long .

WELCOME TO FRIDAY ALL

Welcome to Friday everyone, its all ready the weekend again. Today I have another new author to start the new year with . SCORPIO'S GRACE (book one in the Scorpio Grace Saga ) by Rosie Wyler- Owen


                           BOOK BLURB 


Dark and dangerous things are hidden in Freya Aldana's past. After twelve years on the run, they are coming for her. A druid with coveted powers, Freya is wanted by the most influential power-trafficking mogul in the supernatural black market: Gregory Kander.

Accompanied by her old flame and two fellow escapees, Freya investigates Paris' magic exclusion zones and London's back streets to discover what Kander has planned for her. Her freedom at stake, she turns to the Goddess Scorpio to grant her the strength to defeat her enemies and protect her young daughter. However, Scorpio has greater gifts in mind for her steadfast loyalty.

                           MY REVIEW 
   Freya Aldana has been on the run for twelve years . There are people coming after her a druid with powers that are coveted by most . She is being hunted by Gregory Kander an influential magic trafficker.  With the help of her old flame and some fellow escapees . Freya is out to figure out what Gregory wants with her .She turns to the Goddess Scorpio to help keep her and her daughter safe . But things aren't always what they seem and sometimes greater gifts are bestowed for the loyalty of one person
   
    Freya is one of those characters that you can't help but love . She is a tough woman who will do anything to keep her daughter safe . She is a special woman with special powers that people want to steal . I truly liked her and what ends she would go to so that she can keep her child safe. These characters are very well written and complex you will totally cheer for Freya and the rest of the escapees . You will wish nothing but pain for Gregory Kander . 

  This is a very interesting read , I got sucked in by the end of the second chapter . The characters you will love or hate and the story flows very well . It shows the lengths a mother would do to keep her daughter safe and stop the trafficking of supernatural . This author as proven herself as a good story teller and I really can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the trilogy . There are just a couple of spots that kind of dragged just a little . It didn't hurt the story any and over all I really enjoyed the story . So if you want a great story check it out .
