"This an amazing read, thank you for letting us into your world, Paul Gaskill."

"A fantastic read from start to finish."


The Lavorian Rider is the first novel of Paul Gaskill's young-adult fantasy trilogy.

From living in a small village where knowledge of the King's dictatorial reign is unknown, Oracus' ordinary life is turned upside down when he forges a bond with a Lavorian and becomes its Rider. When the King's soldiers seize the village and kill his father, Oracus joins the rebellion and endeavours to exact his vengeance. With a Lavorian by his side, he becomes a vital factor in the war that will determine the land's fate.

Can Oracus survive and help to end the King's tyranny?

                            MY REVIEW 

   Welcome to a cool new young adult fantasy book . Let me introduce you to Oracus a young man from a small village. He is living a good life because the king doesn't know his village is even there. He has left them alone . But there is more to Oracus then even he knows . With the help of his lavorian that he has bonded with and the rebellion team . He will save his village and the land and end the kings tyranny once and for all . 

     This is a book full of fantasy and is such a good read . You will be sucked in to the story and will want to cheer for Oracus and his friends .  He is taken from a small village and becomes such an important part of saving the land that he loves. There is so much that has been hidden from Oracus when he finds out that he is a rider as his lavorian creature finds him . They go through some trials and tribulations as they grow to trust each other . Now throw in an evil king who is destroying everything and everyone Oracus loves . They must come together to fight the king and save the world . Oracus grows up fast and you see him come to terms with things that have turned his world upside down . Together with his friends you see them become a great team that fights the evil. 

      This is a very sweet fantasy story that is also a gripping coming of age story in it . I got sucked into the story in the first chapter . The author puts so much into this story , the fantasy is great and the characters are wonderful . You just want to hug them all at one point .and tell them that every thing will be ok .  The problems that Oracus goes through like finding his place in the world , are problems that most people go through at one time or another . This is a great book for those who want to get lost in a good fantasy that will sweep you off your feet and taken away to a world where good versus evil . You will cheer and cry. I will highly recommend this book for any person of any age that just wants a good read . You will be glued to the pages . Great book for the kids this summer

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL

   Good Monday all . Today we are going to review a great new children's book BANSHEE IN THE BASEMENT (Tales of Dark Wonder book 1) by Francis Leggett


                            BOOK BLURB

   When ten year old Danny finds himself alone with his vile Aunt Agnes, and his mother suddenly vanished, he begins to experience mysterious things he cannot explain. Can he and his new friend Pip figure out what is going on and escape his aunt's horrendous house or will he be stuck there forever?


                            MY REVIEW  
            This was a fun read and kids are really going to enjoy it . Meet Danny a ten year old little boy who has to stay with his Aunt Agnes . She is evil and cruel and poor Danny doesn't know what or why he is there .  He is all alone and starts to experience some eerie things . He knows he has to find out what is going on or he will be stuck at Aunt Agnes house forever . With his friend Pip he will uncover what is going on in the basement . Will Danny survive and will he ever see his mom again .
    This book is very well written and has a goosebumps type feel to it . I really enjoyed reading . The characters are very well written and you can't help but want to pick Danny up and hug him and tell him that everything will be ok .  Also you really dislike Aunt Agnes she is just plain mean almost evil in a way .  This would be a great book to read around the campfire with a flashlight in your hands .
But enough of my babbling . I have asked someone that is closer to the age of the readers .

Do you like the characters?   Yes, I like them all except Aunt Agnes.  I like Danny because he's nice.  I like Pip because she's adventurous and she was Danny's only friend.  I liked Merelda the cat because she was cute, funny, and black like my own cat Satchmo.

Was Aunt Agnes scary to you?  She was more mean than scary.  She made Danny stay in his room a lot and do way too many chores and called him names like Pest instead of Danny.

Overall did you like the book?  And is there anything you disliked about the book?  I loved the book, it was a great mystery and the end was a surprise.   The only thing I disliked was how mean Aunt Agnes was to Danny sometimes.

 So if you want a great book for the kids this summer check out BANSHEE IN THE BASEMENT. 

Your kids wont be disappointed and you will love the story too .

NUDES (A Hollywood Romance ) by Sarah Robinson

                         BOOK BLURB

    

Praised by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely, as "Passionate, emotional and uplifting!", contemporary romance author Sarah Robinson brings readers a new standalone novel set in the glamorous hills of Hollywood and tackling challenging themes like the intersection of sexuality and female empowerment.  

  

Ben Lawson is making a comeback... After a few tabloid headlines, they think they know me. They don't know a damn thing. As CEO of a movie production company, I'll show them who I really am when we hit it big at the box office. My ex thought her smear tactics would ruin me, but I'm unbreakable. Rising from the debris, I swore I'd never let a woman distract me like that again. But then, my leading actress walked on the set and changed everything. 

  
Seductive, sexy, and unapologetic, Aria Rose could break me. I wanted to help her, protect her...love her. Instead, I destroyed her. 
  
Aria Rose is baring it all.... 
I knew better. I knew not to trust another Hollywood heartthrob with a reputation like his. He was my boss and became my ruin. I should have stayed far away from him. Ben Lawson promised me the world. He even promised me his heart. 
  
But he destroyed everything--my heart, my career, us.

                          MY REVIEW

    

     WOW this book just blew me away, don't let the cover dissuade you. This book is about so much more . There is love. lust, betrayal and redemption .  You can't help but fall in love with the main characters .   You watch them fall in love and be betrayed and then come back together . Let me introduce you to Ben and Aria and their hollywood story .

  Ms Robinson has written a book with such great characters . Ben is the swoon worthy guy that all the girls will fall for but there is more to him then meets the eye . He has a past that has made him what he is today. He wants being the head of the movie company his comeback . But things change when he meet Aria . She is an up and coming star  and she is so sweet but strong. She isn't your typical actress , she has a heart and tends to follow it and it hasn't led her astray.  When these two characters meet the heat in the room rises and bang its gets hot in here . They are very good together and when they are together you actually see them relax and be themselves not the characters they protray in the world they are in .  When things go wrong you see Aria become stronger even though her heart is breaking and you see Ben do everything in his power to get to the bottom of what happened . He wants the one woman that made him happy back . You can really feel their pain and you want them back together so much .  There is one character that absolutely hated in the book just cause he is so slimy is Russ . He is the epitome of what a slimy director is like and what he will do to bring down the actress that shunned him . I really wanted to slap him across the face a few times . Tell me what you think of him .

      I will applaud Sarah on handling this topic with the sensitivity she did . This is the first book i have sat down and read in a day . i couldn't put it down, the characters made me fall in love with them and the story is very prevailant in todays world .  It shows inequality between men and women and even though we have come so far there is still sexism that goes on. DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER  there is more to this book then the cover .  I know people have been judging the cover but i will say the cover does the book justice . Just take the chance and read the book and you will fall in love with Ben and Aria and there will be plenty of sex to keep you satisfied . i bet you will read this book in an evening and love every word .  This is my all time favourite book by Sarah Robinson
