ITS MONDAY

  Welcome to Monday , yes I said Monday . The worst day of the week . Today we are going to review a new author to me . Let me introduce you to Jennie Marts and her novel WHAT TO DO ABOUT WEDNESDAY .

                            BOOK BLURB

   
What happens when hump day turns homicidal…
Finally out on her own, all college freshman, Piper Denton wants is to live a normal life. But any chance of normal is annihilated when her roommate is murdered on her first day of class. Add in the antics of a surprise new roommate, a scruffy stray dog, and the attention of three Star Wars shirt-wearing nerds who want to go out with her, and her days are now anything but ordinary. Except Piper doesn’t have time for murder—she’s trying to focus on her studies, her job, and the crush she has on Fitz, aka The Brilliant Barista, her cute, coffee-brewing coworker.
But dating can be deadly, and after another coed turns up dead—she and the Page Turners, her book-club turned amateur sleuths, go on the hunt for the murderer. Except things never go as planned when the Page Turners get involved, and suddenly they find themselves with pink and blue colored hair, dressed as bikers, and making friends with a large tattooed man named Snake when they go undercover in a dive bar.
Murder is anything but mundane when everyone becomes a suspect, and Piper’s life is on the line. Can she and the Page Turners catch the culprit before it’s too late?

                        MY REVIEW
  
     You know Wednesday is tough but when your Wednesday turns into homicide . You just have to have family.  That's exactly what happened to Piper on her first day of college . She comes home to find her room mate on the floor dead .  She doesn't have time for murder between work and school . Piper tries to put it out of her mind . But when another person dies , she goes to her book club to help solve the case . Will she survive and will she finally get that date with the sexy Fitz . 
   This is the first time I have met these characters . I have to say at first I couldn't really like Piper . She seemed very naïve. She did grow on me and I really started to like her spunkiness towards the end of the book . The book club well lets just say I would love to be part of their pack , they are hilarious best scene making friends with a biker in the dive bar . Edna is hilarious .  The characters are well written  and you can fall in love with them 
 This is the first book I have read by this author . I was kind of confused when I started because I started in the middle of the series .The story was good and it flowed well . The characters are well written and you won't be able to figure out who did it until the end . The author takes us on a fun filled mystery that will have you reading the afternoon away .. I am so going to check out the rest of the series . This can be read as a stand alone but you will want to read them all to get to know the characters . Add this to your winter reading list and grab a latte and a blanket and settle down for a good read

                            MY REVIEW 
     This is the first book in a new series . What would you do if you are a devoted mother and also gifted programmer. When a hacker steals the code she wrote and decides to steal a plane . She is threatened and now has to keep her son safe. She has blackmailed and done deals with criminals . The biggest challenge she has to do is as her ex to help keep her son safe. The son he didn't even know he had. But is the sanctuary the best place to be. 
    This is a edge of your seat thriller . The characters are well written and complex. Simone is one tough cookie . You really don't want to come up against her . She is strong and smart and will do anything short of murder to keep her son safe . Jack is well sometimes he is trying to do the right thing . He is just trying to keep his son safe . His girlfriend Isabella is a fun . The best character is Justice the pit bull. she is fun and loves everyone but will protect if ones that she loves is being hurt. There are characters that you think you can trust but you really don't know if they are good or bad . You will like the characters and also hate them at the same time 
   This is an edge of your seat thriller . You will get sucked into the mystery . The author throws us into the middle of a huge scare and takes us on a thrill ride . There is a little bit of jumping around between characters and few times I got lost when he did that  Over all truly enjoyed this story and loved the intrigue and the twists and turns kept me reading all the way through. So if you want a good read for the winter reading list . check it out . Its a good start to a new series .

WELCOME TO FRIDAY

Welcome to Friday all , today we are going to review CITADEL The Concordant series  by Matthew S Cox.

                            BOOK BLURB

   
Eleven year old Kiera Quinn is sure she’s having a nightmare. She doesn’t believe a nap that started in her suburban bedroom ends in an empty wasteland. She doesn’t believe everyone she’s ever known may have never existed―and she definitely doesn’t believe an old man who tells her she will resurrect the world.

The odd shaman clad in junk and old computer parts claims she is ‘the child born of the earth,’ humanity’s only chance to survive. Desperate and scared, Kiera humors him, hoping her bad dream ends soon.

Fate has a funny habit of getting in the way of destiny. New parents and a new home―even a super-primitive tribal village―feel like the best place for a child to be, not off saving the world. Adjusting to life without video games isn’t easy, but her new mom and dad give her what her old ones couldn’t: time and attention.

Alas, Kiera’s discovery of a secret within ancient ruins makes the ruler of the Citadel want to kill her. Her only chance is to hope a crazy old man wasn’t so crazy―and that saving her parents won’t destroy the whole planet.

                         MY REVIEW 
    What do you do when your whole world is turned upside down . When after a nap in what she thought was her childhood home . Kiera wakes up in a burnt out waste land. thinking she is in a nightmare she makes friends with an old man who thinks she is here to save the world . But fate as other things in mind for miss Kiera and she finds a village that will take her in . A new mother and father that will do anything to protect her. When her family is taken away, Kiera will go on a rescue mission to save them and maybe save the world at the same time. 
   The characters in the novel are very well written and complex. Kiera is your typical 11 year old girl all she wants to do is play video games and hang out with her best friend . She is figuring out that something is wrong when it seems that the days are mixing up and repeating . When thing start to go wrong we see her grow and become a really strong girl . 
There are so many characters that are all so well written , Legacy is the first man she meets . He is a sweet old man who some think is crazy . He is there for Kiera and he knows more then he lets on . Teyrn and Mala are the couple that take Kiera in and protect here with everything they have . I really liked them , they were strong, sweet caring and loving to a girl that just walked into their lives . Pet is the cutest little computer ever , he reminds me of the puppy you get 
    The first part of the book is just a little slow because the author is setting up the adventure for later on. Once we get into the wasteland the author throws curve balls at us over and over . For me I got sucked in and couldn't put it down .I wanted to find out what happened to Kiera and if she got home or did she save the world . To me the funniest part is when she was being flushed . Ok you have to read the book to figure that one out , not going to help you there . This is a great book for those winter nights where you want just get taken away to another world .

WELCOME TO NOVEMBER

  Good morning all and welcome to November , wow its November . Today we are going to review IMMORTAL ALCHEMY by Savannah Verte

                             BOOK BLURB



What do you get when you combine an arch mage and elemental witches? Immortal Alchemy.
Sophie has met the man of her dreams. The trouble is her mother saw him first. Pan’s choice blasts the fragile balance and collateral damage is imminent. Can anyone survive unscathed when one of them is playing dirty? One mage, two witches...three's a mess.

                         MY REVIEW 
    What does a girl do when her mother is interfering with the man she loves . When it involves a Mage and two elemental witches things could get really messy . Will any of them survive when one plays dirty . 
   This is a very fast read . The characters are very well and complex. Sophie is a sweet elemental witch who thinks she has found the man of her dreams . She to me sometimes comes off a little naïve at the beginning of the story but man she becomes a strong woman who goes and gets her man back . She fights hard . I truly liked her . Her mother is the epitomy of evil just cause she saw him first and wanted him . She does her best cover to get with Pan . They go to war over him and the sparks fly . 
    This is a fast paced little book that will have you fanning yourself. There are some very hot scenes in this little book . The writing is great and the author takes us on quite an adventure .  Throwing in a warped mother is always a treat . So check it out you wont be disappointed
