She's busy getting ready for work. Then, her cell phone rings and it's Detective Sam O'Neill is calling her. On the line she can hear he's worried about something and the first thing out of his mouth is find a pair of sunglasses and a hat and get yourself to Glenskehy as fast as you can. I wanted to know why. He wouldn't tell me.<p></p><p>I dressed and headed straight there. There was police tape every where and cops all over. Standing close to where I pulled in was Sam and he didn't look happy. I looked at Sam and then I saw Frankie. I wondered what the hell he was doing here. He told the other cops there, that he wanted me to take a look at the body. I knew there was a reason and as soon as got to where it was. I had to take a few slow breaths. The women lying there looked just like me. What the hell, was my thought. </p><p>The ID read Alexandra Madison. She was a name I used when I was undercover once but, this was weird to say. I looked at Frank and he walked away. I knew what was on his mind. I also knew I wasn't going to like it. As soon as he mentioned me going undercover again, Sam started yelling. </p><p>A few days after that, I sat down with Frank and Sam and we worked out what was going to happen. I was going into Whitethorn house and meeting my housemates, Abby, Justin, Rafe and Daniel. The story that was told to them, was that I hadn't died and that my memory wasn't all there. All my studying of them, didn't take away the looks on their face told me how shocked they were. Frank had dropped me off. </p><p>I was supposed to find out who Stabbed her. Its wasn't going to be easy because none of them weren't going to talk to me about it. I settled in and all five of us, did out college thing, ate together and played cards. There was a few times where they were drinking. Daniel kept pressing me on things. I didn't pick up on that he was trying to find out who I really was. I knew it would be really dangerous for me if that did happen so, I had to be careful. </p><p>I did noticed that they all weren't getting along at times. They were strange in some ways. Things were wrapping up and something differently was coming down when Daniel cornered me one night after we were all drunk. He kissed me and shocked me. I guess that game me away. </p><p>Well, this book was very will written and it makes you want to know what's going to happen next. I'm not going to blow the ending of the book. You'll have to pick it up to read it. </p><p>Now I'm off to start another book. Remember to pick up a good book, it might turn out to be a new favorite. Check out my older posts. </p><p>Note: I'm still a slow reader at times. Please, hang in there and I'll keep adding new books on here. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-47860057869045790562023-03-24T21:19:00.002-07:002023-03-24T21:19:34.639-07:00Catacomb by Madeleine Roux<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQWHRTtvhXAsfp40nk2CNnC3UFuWG5tMTYCt5cVoUHnD6zo45B3f8r19-sFH-TF7OlFT22FiWS-rrUtXbaxCAs3AltZUJ7wc_ePizFHaibU5YKi6ltL-NjJs9moQw71DwrmVq3j2bsa3Pcx29vj0UC6AzhElBWFUKXhgv_yu3qbnxsZHcgiHinGnJTA/s290/9780062364067_p0_v1_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="192" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQWHRTtvhXAsfp40nk2CNnC3UFuWG5tMTYCt5cVoUHnD6zo45B3f8r19-sFH-TF7OlFT22FiWS-rrUtXbaxCAs3AltZUJ7wc_ePizFHaibU5YKi6ltL-NjJs9moQw71DwrmVq3j2bsa3Pcx29vj0UC6AzhElBWFUKXhgv_yu3qbnxsZHcgiHinGnJTA/s1600/9780062364067_p0_v1_s192x300.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /> This is the third book in the Asylum series. It was really good. <p></p><p>Dan, Abby and Jordan are on a road trip to New Orleans. Jordan is planning staying with his uncle Steve. Abby is wanting to make a few stops along the way to take pictures and do some research on a bad guy by the name of Jimmy Orsini who was caught making and selling booze. Even though Jordan just wants to get there, he lets her do what's she wanting to do. Dan's still having strange dreams and doesn't really want to tell his friends.</p><p>All three of them, have to stop because of the car getting a flat tire. They walk the few miles to the town up ahead of them. There's a sign on the gas stations door saying the guys next door. They meet a guy and he helps them get a new tire. Abby, feels weird about the guy, but lets it go. When they finish changing the tire they head back into town to get something to eat. Dan isn't feeling very hungry and only orders a coke. He takes his pill and just sits there listening to Abby talk to the older guy. </p><p>They need to find a place to camp for the night and Dan isn't liking that. He wants a bed really badly. He also notices that there's a person on a motorcycle watching them. It took him a few minutes to notice it. </p><p>They finally get on the road again. Abby wants to go to this library in Shreveport. It will take them most of the day. Abby and them get there and they go inside. What's interesting is Dan finds some interesting things in a glass case. Jordan, opens the case and lets Dan take a closer look. He sees some things about his parents that died. Jordan sees some things that Abby might want to read on. A few articles.</p><p>They finally make it to New Orleans and to Jordan's uncles. They are happy to be there because now the will have a bed to sleep in. Things will be okay, at least Dan hopes so, tell they meet Oliver. Jordan doesn't like him and figures there's something off about him. Its the stories Oliver starts to tell Dan that's become really weird. Dan's not sure what to make of it, tell later that day when they get back to Jordan's uncles house and there's a guy there talking to him. </p><p>The guy introduces himself as Mr. Finnoway. He seems a little uppity. But, what Dan doesn't realize is this very powerful person is going to try and take his life and bones. He's a bone collector. Because of who his mom is, he wants to stop Dan from doing any more investigating into what his little group is really doing. One day, Dan goes where he shouldn't and ends up having his little finger being cut off. He's in a lot of pain when he wakes up. Then, after getting back to Jordan's uncles, a cop shows up to arrest him for murder. This whole thing, isn't going very will for him.</p><p>The book has really short chapters so its an easy book to read. I was having a hard time putting the book down the farther I got into it. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start another book. Remember to check out older posts. You might find a book you will want to pick up. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-24276257383053195412023-03-10T13:01:00.001-08:002023-03-10T13:01:32.768-08:00Revealed by P.C.

Zoey and her friends are stuck at the school. She's having some problems with understanding her emotions and Aphrodite ends up having a vision of Zoey being very angry and doing something very bad. Because of that, Aphrodite askes Shaylin to watch her. Even though Aphrodite should have told Zoey what she had seen, because of that, things aren't going to go real will between them in the end. <p></p><p>Neferet isn't quite herself after her fall from her penthouse. She needs to heal and become strong again. She ends up attacking the Mayor and killing him. Aphrodite is his son, her mom goes crazy and says some things very mean. Neferet ends up running and finding a fox hole and crawls inside. As she's sleeping she's having dreams of her life. From when she was abused as a young girl to getting marked and all the bad things she had been doing for years. The high Counsil doesn't even see who she really is. It begins to be noticed after lots of bad things come to lite. </p><p>Erin helps the group with a ritual and ends up dying from the change.

Her wanting him has put some problems between Stark and her. She does end up sucking Aurox's blood and feels really good before she feels bad about it. </p><p>This book shocked me many times. I was happy to get some of the past about Neferet. Knowing what she is really about and her choice to be evil instead of good. I'm worried about what's going to happen next with Zoey and the rest of them. I guess soon enough I'll find out. Pick up the book, its really good.</p><p>I'm off to start another book.

A page turner and very interesting in a way that it was different than any other kind of book that I've read before. Did learn something as will.<p></p><p>Val Chesterfield is a linguist train to study languages. Her brother Andy was a climate scientist and was in Greenland's barren coast and he died there. She blamed Wyatt for what happened because he worked for him. She didn't believe the story that was given. </p><p>Then, one day she gets a message from Wyatt that he had a girl there that he found and she wasn't speaking an language he was understanding and he wanted her to come to the Arctic to help him understand her. She had gone to see her dad, told him what was asked of her and her dad said maybe she should go. It was a trip she was a little iffy on. Her dad talked her into it. </p><p>She wasn't the only one's going. She met Nora and her husband Raj. They were doing some research up there. She wasn't going to be alone. When they got there. Wyatt told them this story about finding the girl frozen in ice. At first, they didn't believe him at all. Val went into the room she was staying in and looked at her. She was all dirty and wearing an old Christmas sweater. She looked like she had been through something. </p><p>Jeanne was a lady that did all the cooking and fixing of things there. She seemed harmless. The longer she was there trying to figure out what language the girl spoke the more the girl started to show her pictures of stuff she was trying to tell Val. </p><p>Wyatt started to suspect that Val was hiding things from him. He started showing her a side of himself that made her nervous. She had been learning some of her language and was trying to tell him about it, but he didn't seem to want to know that. She knew there was something else going on. So, while they were out doing some things, she started snooping. She found slides he had been hanging onto. She took the girl which she named, Sigrid, with her, out to the dome where Nora and Raj were doing there work. They started to like the girl. It just took them time to get used to her. </p><p>After some time, the girl started to get sick. They didn't know what to do. Sigrid, did try to tell Val what needed to happen to help her and Val tried to tell Wyatt and he called her a liar. Things are going to happen and it may not be good. </p><p>Pick up the book if you want to know what happens. Remember to check old the older posts, you might find a new book to pick up. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start a new book. Enjoy a good book, you never know what is out there, tell you find it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-32496622867690766492023-02-12T15:38:00.003-08:002023-02-12T15:38:34.845-08:00Playing Dead by Allison Brennan<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwZo7Qwt13QdLG4J2ARcyO5e_Yc5FP1i4pJCuVRrXv6M5YhyfAXT18sTsZXO6PzObhks4GL7P6CkTPbCgr79fXSINSl0rW36VfkUNYmCfXi98EQWPlpcEfjzW14huzGUo3p_s7zeru430-0714msuzSfM5gNbM7JAuW-wMkzQeNyE3xh-WBfcXtb29Q/s300/9780749939373_p0_v1_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="182" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwZo7Qwt13QdLG4J2ARcyO5e_Yc5FP1i4pJCuVRrXv6M5YhyfAXT18sTsZXO6PzObhks4GL7P6CkTPbCgr79fXSINSl0rW36VfkUNYmCfXi98EQWPlpcEfjzW14huzGUo3p_s7zeru430-0714msuzSfM5gNbM7JAuW-wMkzQeNyE3xh-WBfcXtb29Q/s1600/9780749939373_p0_v1_s192x300.jpg" width="182" /></a></div><br /> This was a really great book.

When she was fourteen her mother and the guy she was sleeping with were shot in her bed. Her father, Tom was the one they were looking at. He went to trial and was sentenced to death.

He's been wondering if she's heard from her father. Partly because he escaped from prison. It's good if she was to talk to him about anything and right now she's not speaking to much. </p><p>Mitch knows that he's got feelings for her and has been trying to keep from making love to her. It's very hard on him.</p><p>There is an assassin that had killed her mom and the guy she was with. He also wants Claire very badly. But, for him he needs to control himself. He don't want to hurt her, so he goes after other girls and ladies. Its the only way he can be around her for now. </p><p>Claire ends up seeing her father and he tells her he's not guilty.

I enjoyed the fast pacing of this book. Quite gripping and pulls you in. Very easy to read. <p></p><p>Sophie and Agatha are friends. Sophie would go visit Agatha at her house which was on a hill behind a graveyard. People in town would call Agatha a witch. Sophie, has high hopes of going to the school of good and evil to win herself a prince. She wanted so much to be a princess. </p><p>When they both one night disappear and end up at the school. They both end up with a huge shock. Sophie ends up in the house of evil and Agatha ends up in the house of good. Which they both believe they are in the wrong schools. Agathia just wants to go home and take Sophie with her. But, it doesn't happen. </p><p>Then, Sophie sees Tedros from across the room and chooses him as her prince. But, because he's not in her school he can't be. Her roommates tell her that evil girls can't have princes. It never works out. Sophie don't care. She's going to do everything she can to make sure it happens. He does see how pretty she is and notices that he's looking at her. </p><p>Agatha, really knows that she doesn't belong. Some of the girls call her a witch. In some ways she believes she might be. She also knows that if she can go see the head master who's in a tower away from everyone else. That maybe he can help both her and Sophie get back home. </p><p>Strange things happen between them and they don't stay friends. Sophie end up becoming evil and starts to gain witchy powers.

Its a 1303 page book and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to read this.<p></p><p>Shallan and Jasnah are on a boat, on their way to the shattered plains. They are trying to get there to share their findings. Shallan is still studying all she can to figure out as much as she can to help Jasnah out. But, the trip is shortened when she hears noises coming from down the way and finds Jasnah on the floor and covered in blood. She knows that Jasnah is dead and she may be the next. She has to think fast and ends up destorying the ship by sinking it. </p><p>She ends up on shore pretty much hurt and hardly being able to walk. She hears noises again and its a few wagons going the other direction then, where she wants to go. She talks the driver and the few other he's with into taking her to the shattered plains. She promises him to pay him when she arrives safely. </p><p>Kaladin ends up becoming a guard with the rest of bridge four. In the process of that, the other bridge crews are offered jobs too. He knows that there are things he doesn't understand. Syl is still there trying to help him as much as possible. He is now protecting Dalinar and the king, whom he really doesn't like. He tries to keep his feelings out of his job as much as he can. </p><p>He also spends so time trying to practice what he knows he can do. These things will probably come in handy as the days go by. His life has been hard for awhile and he's learning to not let things get to him.</p><p>Dalinar has still been having visions. For Dalinar, he knows that the Knight Radiants are coming back. Navini has been helping him figure this out with him. His life is going to change and he just doesn't know yet. Navini knows that her daughter will be coming tell she finds out that Jasnah is dead. </p><p>Things are going to change and besides the war that they have been fighting for years now. </p><p>I don't want to blow the whole book. It's really a good book. I even think it's better then, the first book. Read it, starting with the first one. </p><p>I'm going to go start my next book. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-57549546790205878632022-11-14T20:41:00.004-08:002022-11-14T20:41:49.913-08:00The woman in the window by A.

Anna Fox is a Child psychologist. She's also an agoraphobian. Which means she can't leave the house without having some breathing problems or even fainting. She spends a lot of her time watching old black and white movies. Plus, she drinks a lot of red wine. She also spends some of her day looking through her camera. She doesn't really take pictures of what she's seeing. Most people just think she's strange and pay her no mind.<p></p><p>Dr. Feilding comes to her house once a week to see how she's doing. Usually they don't talk to much about why she's like she is because he doesn't want to up set her. He knows that she talks to her husband and daughter. You don't find out why their not living with her to farther into the book. I started wondering what was going on pretty early in the book.</p><p>She also knew that a new family moved in on the other side of the park. Which she starts to watch them. When the teenage boy Ethan shows up with a candle and to interduce himself to her. She believes he's a very kind kid. She doesn't think much other then that. </p><p>She meets his mother a few days later and things from there become strange to Anna. Because one night while she's watching the family she see's the mother get stabbed. She decides to call the police. After not wanting to wait on them. She makes her first trip out of the house and has problem breathing and things start to spin around her, tell she faints. </p><p>She wakes up in the hospital and not very happy about being there. She meets detective Little. She tells him what she saw and he tells her that he'll take her home and they can figure out what happened. </p><p>After Little takes her home. His partner brings down Mr. Russele. He pretty much just tells Anna that she didn't see anything like that and he brings in his wife who is very much alive. Anna starts getting very upset. Not willing to let this go. Detective Little tries to explain to her that she just thought she saw it and that she needed to let it go. He gives her his card and everyone leaves. She just keeps running it all through her head. </p><p>The book is so good and you'll have to pick it up to find out how it ends. Always remember to read a book, you might just find a favorite or two.</p><p>Well, I'm off to start another book. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-20893162312387937412022-11-08T13:09:00.001-08:002022-11-08T13:09:50.187-08:00Curse of Salem by Kay Hooper<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmyq39uXL_wmrdveVtNCtQulpMnngskvSQ9O6TNeu3dRU04kBo5Tbtn8cG3Q4Z9CuPMQunjwDL14Camv6z8rud2nd_B1VOGx_OiFew2YBnSvf3mlAFI-gK06asSrNikAJWp12JVW8N9MAPmaXpDR1mqK8iZUzaxBb_9bkEVgTpVmt8c_TdIYUhoBhPA/s290/9781984802927_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="192" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmyq39uXL_wmrdveVtNCtQulpMnngskvSQ9O6TNeu3dRU04kBo5Tbtn8cG3Q4Z9CuPMQunjwDL14Camv6z8rud2nd_B1VOGx_OiFew2YBnSvf3mlAFI-gK06asSrNikAJWp12JVW8N9MAPmaXpDR1mqK8iZUzaxBb_9bkEVgTpVmt8c_TdIYUhoBhPA/s1600/9781984802927_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /> Salem, North Carolina Is a small town full of physics.

If this was a great way to end a trilogy this would be one hell of an ending. It was very good. </p><p>Jacob and Emma are on their own after the other children were taken by wights. They need to go and get their friends back and Miss Peregrine. They have to find out a way to save them so they are safe. Addison is a peculiar dog that can talk. He has a great nose and will help them sniff out where they were taken. They are also being followed by a hollow. These things you can't see with your naked eye, but Jacob can see them. He's been learning how to control them and tell them what he's wanting him to do. </p><p>Hollows can kill you if you can't see them and his grandfather was just like Jacob. He could see them too. </p><p>After leaving the subway, they found their way down to a boat ramp. There was this guy dressed all in a strange black cloak. He kept dropping rats out of it. Jacob asked if they could get a ride to Devil's Arc. His name was Sharon and he did boat tours. At first Sharon didn't want to help them. They finally said they could pay him but, didn't have the gold right now. He thought about it then said, sure. </p><p>With them in the small boat, being also that they were out in the open. Because they were with Sharon, the real normal people couldn't see them. Things are always different when it comes with the loops. Where they are heading, its not a good place. </p><p>Things ended up happening after they arrived in Devil's Arc. People here weren't nice. They were looking at them. Sharon told them both to stay close. Ambosia is addicting and many of the people here use it. What Jacob and Emma find out is that its the souls of Peculiar children. Which makes Emma quite upset. They are waiting for Sharon and they wonder off. They find the castle and a long bridge but, before they can figure out a way to get across they are attacked. </p><p>Jacob is hurt quite badly. Emma is hurt too. After that everything goes dark. They bought to meet Bentham. He's the brother of Caul and Miss Peregrine. He explains to them who he is and right off the bat, Emma doesn't trust him. The healer did heal Jacob and Emma. </p><p>Devil's Arc is a very dark and dangerous place because the Wight and hollows live close by. Caul, is crazy and the one thing he wants most is to find the Library of souls. He believes that it will give him great power.

He has their daughter Amity and she's 12 years old. They love fantasy books and spend a lot of time reading together and talking about them. They don't live life without doing the tings they love. Amity and her mouse Snowball and spending time on the beach. They live what you would call a normal life. </p><p>Ed or what Amity calls him 'spooky Ed,' shows up on the doorstep and talks to her dad. Something is a little strange about this guy. He seems to be always looking over his shoulder and never comes tell after dark. Ed, begins to tell Jeffy about something that doesn't even make any since to him. He asks him to take this box and hide it somewhere, where no one will find it and if he doesn't come back for it in a week. He's to take it and throw it in the ocean after barrowing it in concrete. Ed, then leaves. </p><p>Jeffy doesn't know what the hell is going on and he takes the box in the house. Puts it in his office when, Amity comes in and asks him what it is. Jeffy, is a little curious about it himself. Even though he was told not to open it, he does. Its some kind of cellphone or something like that. Then, there's a knock on the door and its loud. After hiding the thing, he heads for the door.</p><p>A few guys, all dressed in black are standing on his porch. One has his ID pulled out and says, ' I'm John Falkirk from the National security agency. Were here looking for Dr. Edwin Harkenbach he has stolen something that doesn't belong to him. Have you seen him?' Jeffy doesn't know how to answer that question but, he knows he shouldn't lie. So, he tells him he saw him last night but, he's not here. Falkirk tells his men to search the house and that they know what he's looking for. The move into the house and begin to search the house. </p><p>Falkirk isn't what he seems and Amity ends up saying something snotty to him. If it was up to Falkirk, he would teach that girl a listen and he would love it. He doesn't care about them, he wants that hand held machine that can take him places that aren't part of this world. Its called, elsewhere. Different, plains of the same world with some that are dangerous and some that aren't. </p><p>His men didn't find anything and they lift. Jeffy, knew now that what Ed gave him was something dangerous and he wasn't sure what to do about it. He would go about his day and later on after everything was calm he would get it from his hiding place and check it out. Amity, had snowball with her and they were at the kitchen table. </p><p>As much as he wanted to protect her from things. He didn't know how much their life was going to change. He had the thing sitting on the table and was looking at it. When snowball walked over to it and stepped on it. Amity and her dad were touching each other and then, there was a light. They ended up jumping to another house that was theirs but, wasn't theirs. This was strange. Amity went looking around after sticking snowball into her pocket. There was nothing here that showed she ever lived here. Someone was outside mowing the lawn. This was weird. She looked at her dad and said they they needed to go back home. Jeffy, didn't even know how to do that. </p><p>He had to go get some book that Ed had wrote and being that they are somewhere else. They didn't know if this was a good place or a bad place. They do find that out. All hell breaks out and they end up in danger. </p><p>Well, I'm going to leave you with a cliff hanger here. You'll have to read the book to find out what happens. I'll add this. Falkirk is a really bad guy playing as a good guy. He just likes to kill people for pleasure. The book was interesting. Nothing like what you might think it is. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a book, you never know if you might just like it. Books are there to enjoy, so pick up one. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-81927855947374023952021-09-05T14:47:00.000-07:002021-09-05T14:47:24.638-07:00Fated by Alyson Noel <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6s9lsIr9r6XWmJNSXxSbgMoIfMpW-3-inCpcS9YlkJxgFJbffvjkvRhwfn1RW4ijOMW8LUOWDt-UwQ_1YjFhSTyXIYODh2oQcIF1zkI4qtxf5McGUj_U8o97tIK13Wuoq4VmBf9nJfPE/s292/9780312575656_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="192" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6s9lsIr9r6XWmJNSXxSbgMoIfMpW-3-inCpcS9YlkJxgFJbffvjkvRhwfn1RW4ijOMW8LUOWDt-UwQ_1YjFhSTyXIYODh2oQcIF1zkI4qtxf5McGUj_U8o97tIK13Wuoq4VmBf9nJfPE/s0/9780312575656_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>This the first book in The Soul Seekers series. The book was really good. Something different then, what I'm used too. </p><p>Daire is a 16 year old girl with her mom, traveling around the world for her mothers job as a make-up artist. Jeenika is her mom. Things with them have been okay at time. Daire, keeps having problems with seeing things that don't make since to her. She sees, ravens and shadow like people and it freaks her out. She doesn't know if she's going crazy or what. </p><p>She and Vance this boy she sees while he's working on this movie where there are, is getting something to eat, when things start to happen. After a time, she faints or something like fainting. When she wakes up, she's tide down and her mom is sitting close by. She doesn't know where she is but, she doesn't like what's going on. She asks her mom what is going on and her mom tells the other lady in the room to get the doctor. Tell then, her mom just tells her that she's just going to have to relax. Like, that's going to happen. </p><p>Once she hears from the doctor and hears what he has to say, she's not happy. She doesn't want to go to no mental hospital or take medicine that will mess with her. So, after leaving, her mom drives them to where they are staying after taking the trip home on an airplane. </p><p>The phone in the house rings and its her grandmother Paloma calling. Some how she found out what is going on and talks her mom into letting her come and stay with her in Enchantment, New Mexico. She tells her mom that she can help Daire. She's going to have her friend Chay meet us and drive me the rest of the way. </p><p>Jennika, her mom isn't so sure of about this whole thing but, for now its the only thing she can do. </p><p>At first, Daire doesn't want to be there and ends up running away. She also ends up getting hit by a car, where she is bruised and has a broken leg. So, the idea of leaving didn't go quite will. She does have a few talks with Paloma who explains who her dad was and why he died before she was born. Something that her mom didn't explain to her very will.</p><p>She also finds out that she's a soul seeker and a very strong one. Paloma is going to teach her as much as she can, but Daire notices that she keeps having nose bleeds and becomes worried that something is wrong. </p><p>She also meets Dace and Cade, they are teens. She doesn't like Cade and she finds out the Dace is nicer and good. Something evil is going on and Cade is a good reason, along with his father. Things end up happening and its not good. But, I'm not going to share what happens, because I want you to read this book. I'll tell you this, the ending will grab you and you'll want to continue to read tell the book ends. Its also wanting me to pick up the next one in the series but, I'm going to wait a little while then, I'll get it. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to pick up a book, you never know if you like it, tell you read it. </p><p>Note: I'm going to tell you guys something. I only read the book. I can't listen to audiobooks so my honest opinion of the book is from reading it. There is nothing wrong with listening to a book. I just love the feel of the book in my hands and its easier for me to enjoy and understand the stories I read. So, sometimes it will take me a little longer to read some book. </p><p>Thank you for reading my blog. You can leave me a comment about the book or anything else if you want. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-87658321121034925512021-08-26T12:32:00.002-07:002021-08-26T12:32:57.151-07:00The Priory of the orange tree by Samantha Shannon<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AHeP1bhJtHpuCGMD3qfpQI4KdRHWtmmtTic2lUXQCKmvuCRPsumC_a3ra_VCSxDUsP-AHlmEmeCe3VzaEaSmLfgDCz4YFukAgwuOcWsjZY6zgNaFQsdTi4Dcsic9L2A9LKYtg8y5HeRE/s290/9781635570304_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="192" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AHeP1bhJtHpuCGMD3qfpQI4KdRHWtmmtTic2lUXQCKmvuCRPsumC_a3ra_VCSxDUsP-AHlmEmeCe3VzaEaSmLfgDCz4YFukAgwuOcWsjZY6zgNaFQsdTi4Dcsic9L2A9LKYtg8y5HeRE/s0/9781635570304_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>This is a 800 plus page book. Another fantasy to add to my list of books on here. I will add that its a pretty good read. Its a story about a queen that believes she can save her kingdom from an evil that has been sleeping for 1000 years. </p><p>We meet Ead Duryan while she's working for queen Saban the ninth. She was sent to the kingdom to protect the queen. What she doesn't realize is that things aren't what they seem. She see's many things that don't agree with her and the beliefs she has. What she also doesn't know is how she really feels about the queen. </p><p>One night she kills someone that is trying to kill the queen and she hides it so that she isn't spotted in doing it. Its not like she's afraid of what might happen to her, she doesn't want the queen to know its her. </p><p>Loth, is her good friend and when he's sent away to do the queens business. Things in the castle become unsettled. He and his good friend Kit go together to see Estina Melaugo in the Yscalin in hope to make peace some how. It doesn't go will. </p><p>Niclays Roos is a bad guy, he holds a grudge against Saban for sending him away. He wants to get off the island he's on and it will happen but, not in the way he thinks. Pirates roam the seas and he will meet a not so good one. </p><p>Aubrecht Lievelyn, is going to marry Saban and its up to them to make a baby girl. She will be the one to save them from the nameless one that's surposed to come back. It will not be good. </p><p>Saban ends up losing her consort and the baby. In the process bad people are trying to take her thone. Its up to Ead to help her deal with it but, having a relationship with the queen is more dangerous then, she knew. She loses everything and the queen all in three hours. Its not going will for all. </p><p>I hate to inform you, but if you want to know what happens to them all. You are going to have to read the book. I will say that some things got me upset and some things got me angry. Over all, the book was good and long. I'll give you this teaser, there is a happy ending in a way. There are many other charaters in the book. Just read it. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start another book. Remember to read a good book.

Told by the young teenage girl who lives with her father. Her father, Paul, travels all over the world for his foundation. One day while she's at home she's in her fathers den and sitting on the desk is some papers and a book. She opens the book and the only thing inside it it a picture of a dragon. She is curious but, isn't sure she should ask her father about it.</p><p>Her father Paul, has been raising the young girl on his own since his wife Helen had left or disappeared. Its up to him to raise her and protect her from the bad things in the world. What he doesn't realize is that she will be the one to help him find the one thing he wants, his wife, Helen. </p><p>His daughter starts asking him questions. she wants to know what the book and papers mean. So, he does what he knows best and starts to tell her stories that are true. Dracula is one charater that has been written about a few times. But, he doesn't explain that to her. He starts with his time when he was young and still studying at the university. </p><p>He begins by telling her about his Professor Rossi. How smart he was and how he told him about the meaning about the book he has. He also told her that he disappeared right after doing that. He explained that he had stopped looking into the meaning of Dracula for a long time, but that wasn't true. He wanted to find Helen and knew that there was only go to be one way to do that. It was for him to continue looking for Dracula and in doing so, he might get lucky and find his wife, Helen. </p><p>The story pretty much tells you in letters that her father had left for her to read. What her father doesn't know is that she decides to try and find him. Is she smart enough to figure the whole thing out and find out where her father is or will the danger of doing so cause her harm or death. Maybe, her father can't be found. You'll just have to read the book to find out. </p><p>Its an almost 700 page book and it can get a little slow at times. I think its worth reading.</p><p>Sorry, it took me so long to get this post up. I had been sick so, its hard for me to read. </p><p>Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a good book, you never know what just be a new favorite. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-88531541755961712312021-06-26T17:21:00.000-07:002021-06-26T17:21:34.808-07:00City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWz2WUAx_R8yMfePBP7eTFJynUk2pA-nmM2tc_evDUcZVLqriSMJrBOjwmblQKJhHSjFFiq70pggv3wKueoX9etrzT_cYa_nVEq_1H507gAK7KMeQWAa0XgNpOeIl2vBWZD3BjxW4VxExj/s288/9781481455978_p0_v6_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="288" data-original-width="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWz2WUAx_R8yMfePBP7eTFJynUk2pA-nmM2tc_evDUcZVLqriSMJrBOjwmblQKJhHSjFFiq70pggv3wKueoX9etrzT_cYa_nVEq_1H507gAK7KMeQWAa0XgNpOeIl2vBWZD3BjxW4VxExj/s0/9781481455978_p0_v6_s192x300.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p>This is book two of the mortal instruments series. I will say that this was a great read for me. <p></p><p>Clary is back with her friend Simon. Jace, Alex and Isabelle are at the church they use as a shadowhunters head quarters in New York city. Clary has been staying with Luke after her mom has been in a coma of a sorts. </p><p>Maryse is in the library when Jace walks in on her. She begins to question him about what has been going on. Each time he answers she doesn't believe him. They aren't going to see things the same way and Jace always has this attitude about pretty much everything. Then, when Valentine is brought up he becomes a little diffensive. She pretty much asks him to leave.</p><p>The Inquisitor is coming and she has a problem with Jace. She wants to question him concerning his father which is Valentine. I'll just say this, it doesn't go will over will with him and she decides to lock him up. But, before that happens, Jace has gone to see his father. Because of what he knows. </p><p>His father has killed all the soul brother for the sword they have. He wants to bring a very large amount of demons to take out the clave. The clave is what creates the laws for all the shadowhunters. That isn't going will for Jace because he will never join his father in any way. </p><p>The Inquisitor ends up using special swords to lock up Jace. As will as a magic pair of handcuffs. Her idea is to trade him for the two special things that Valentine has. Jace tries to tell the Inquisitor that Valentine will never do that. Because of her hatefullness towards Valentine she isn't listening to him. </p><p>Things are only going to get worse and it does. </p><p>You'll have to read the book to see what happens and how it ends. I'm not going to spoil it for you. I'll just say this, I really wait to pick up the next one.

After pulling up and getting out of the car. The first thing they saw was a black cat. Her and Jayne saw the cat and Sophie said she didn't. That was just the start. After walking through the door, Melanie had this feeling that they were being watched. She knew there was something there but, couldn't seem to see it. </p><p>Jayne seemed to be nervous and didn't really want to do anything. I think she just wanted to leave. There was diffenently something about Jayne that Melanie couldn't figure out and for some reason it felt like she was being blocked by something like when she was pregnant with the twins. It bothered her but, also didn't. Melanie was never one to open herself to spirits very easliy and it took her mother to help her deal with it. </p><p>Jayne is really good with the twins. Jack has been having problems writing and isn't sure why. His daughter Nola has been having problems writing music too. Jayne gave Sophie promision to renovate the house. Melanie's mom and her decide to head over to the house and see what they can find out about the spirits. When they arrive, they see the cat. The house doesn't feel right but, they both go in after Melanie unlocks the door. They both feel who ever it is. Her mom says, that there are more then one spirit here. What they don't know is who, but they can guess. </p><p>Up in the attic, her mom, is looking at a few things when a sheet that was hanging down goes from there to around her mom's neck. Not good because it starts to choke her mom. It takes a few to get it unwrapped. </p><p>Well, that's all I'm going to say. Don't want to give away the ending. I'll just say, pick up the book and read it. Its really good. The author is a great writer. </p><p>Remember to always try new author, you never know you might just find something worth reading more then once. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977840693417949801.post-10577965314168936142021-06-12T09:25:00.003-07:002021-06-12T09:25:41.767-07:00Crash by Lisa McMann<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGymzTWSFLrzoRaBUOG15yjeXyWYkXQRZk1P9HtzuxQlQe_5JeDxM4ydQ549WlvL0xGKO8dMTiOW5wrcHdr7cf6T8iQMzyszVhYxtkk7pLe8OmX0OBrT7RN0eWY8cQ-YCRMtETOCf79Jda/s289/9781442405912_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="289" data-original-width="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGymzTWSFLrzoRaBUOG15yjeXyWYkXQRZk1P9HtzuxQlQe_5JeDxM4ydQ549WlvL0xGKO8dMTiOW5wrcHdr7cf6T8iQMzyszVhYxtkk7pLe8OmX0OBrT7RN0eWY8cQ-YCRMtETOCf79Jda/s0/9781442405912_p0_v2_s192x300.jpg" /></a></div><br />This is the first book in a new series.
