My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy all the adventures Tally gets to do and kind of jealous. I think this is a great young adult book it teaches family is important no matter what. Tally gets into predicaments that she has to find her way out of. Its like she cant catch a break but she is very strong and with the help of her angel she can do anything. I cant wait for for the next one to come out.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book definitely opened my eyes up to bring more self care into my life. I do not have to feel guilty or selfish for taking time for myself and to go to the gym. The book could have been a little shorter but it gave a lot of examples where and how to improve myself even if it is just a little change here and there. I dont feel the need to be in uncomfortable situations. If you want a quick read about changing the little things in life to make for a bigger and happier picture then definitely pick this book up.

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

DeBlassie knows just how to get you hooked from the first few sentences. It kept me engaged the whole time. I read it all in one sitting and by sitting I mean a 5 hour car ride haha. I knew of the folklore of la llarona as the weeping woman but she really incorporated the story of Mercy and Santos and Miguel beautifully. I enjoyed the pain, heartache and the happiness with all the ups and downs. I loved the writing style and how easy to read it was.

I am sure it was tough for Mercy to lose her best friend but have Sherry within reach and she would leave Sherry little gifts. Mercy did it for so long she forgot why she started to do it in the first place. Mercy didnt know what real kindness was until Santos came and bought the farm next to her. That is when her view on life changed.

Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #2)Runaway to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely enjoyed this book. Pandora runs from her crazy modeling career to this small town called Bunya Junction where she meets Jonas. Unexpectedly they hit it off even though neither wants to move it too far because plans on going back to her city life. Jonas knows you can take the city out of the girl but Pandora is amazed at how a small town can come together and really take care of one another. Through the whole book I so wanted to jump into this town and live on a ranch.

Life’s a Witch (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 3) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Amanda DelFemine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Crimson may not be the best witch but she is a great person. She falls for a half demon half human that has a contract with the devil. She jokingly sells her soul to the devil and its a story of how she tries to get out of it. I absolutely loved the style of Pulkinens writing and this book really made me laugh out loud with all the crazy mishaps. Lifes a Witch is truly super entertaining and a quick listen. I did not want it to be over and I cant wait to listen on.

ChameleonChameleon by Zoe Kalo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paloma is sent to a convent because she got kicked out of her school for holding a séance to contact her dead father. Palomas family basically drops her off on the steps and never really heard from them again. She tries to keep to herself but the other girls have other plans for her. She ends up forming a so called friendship with a group of girls that seem too good to be true and we all know when something seems to be it usually always is. Paloma uncovers some convent mystery and who the ghost of Madeline was.

The waterfall seems to call to her where she loses her most prized possession but in the end finds it in the most peculiar way.

Kalo draws you in from the first couple of sentences and I found myself not being able to put it down. I needed to keep reading to find out what kind of crazy went on in this convent.

The loneliness can really make someone go mad. Her husbands befriends Devon and Adelia ends up falling for him. Adelia is met with Hope that is there to tell her story of love and death.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cam Johns really knows how to bring mayhem, murder, and mafia into a great story. I absolutely loved this book. Braelynn is a strong female character that really empowered me and Johns made you fall in love with all of the characters no matter how good or bad they were.

Braeylynn gets caught up in a predicament but is it truly self defense or is this something she has been wanting to do. She ends up turning over secrets that help her mafia boyfriends father gain power within the family. She struggles with the acceptance because she is not of Italian heritage.

I don’t know what you are waiting for! Go and grab this book!!

Exhale and Move On AUDIO BOOK by K.L. Shandwick – Review by Amanda DelFemine

/0 Comments/in , /by

I will start out by saying that this was the first book I have ever listened to in this genre.  With that being said I thought this book was fantastic.  K.L. Shandwicks writing style and story line of sex, drugs and rock and roll were easy to listen to.  Not to mention how much she and Rick Fars made me want to jump in and have some fun of my own.

Rick finds himself faced with challenges like most rock stars they don’t find love easily. Lifestyles can change in minutes when the past comes knocking on the door or old flames try to rekindle something and you have to choose what makes you happy even if that makes others uncomfortable but in the end you have to do what makes you happy and try something new.  Some people will understand you and some will not.  You know what, that’s ok.  So just be yourself and Exhale and Move On.
