My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this adventure story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed their writing style as well as their attention to details. This is a well written story where the characters pull you in from the beginning. It is a story about Thomas and what happens when he sets out on a hike. The thing about this hike is something that he did not expect and an adventure of a lifetime. He is a great character that brought the story to life. He made me want to know what was going to happen next. This is a fast paced story that will take you on an adventure that was hard to put down. An engaging story that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed the character growth as well as the growth of the plot. I really enjoyed this book and what the characters brought to the story. I highly recommend it.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I enjoy her writing skills and her attention to details that bring reality to her stories. This book is no different.

Imperfectly Yours (Titans of Manhattan #2)Imperfectly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that is fast becoming an author I hesitate to pick up when I see one of her books. I have enjoyed her books from the beginning. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest picking up the first book as well. It is just as great as the first one, if not better. I enjoy this author’s writing style and her attention to details to make her stories steamy and pop. The characters keep the story engaging and are connectable. A fast paced story that is not only hard to put down but also kept me turning pages to the end. This is a romance story where choices could just put your fate in someone else’s hands. Dreams could be broken and Elsa and Anton are about to find out just what this could mean for them. I really enjoyed their chemistry and their growth throughout the story. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot that kept me wanting to know more. This is a great pick up that I highly recommend along with this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed reading this author from the first book I picked up from her. This is a little different type of book for her. It is a nonfiction book about selling your books at Cons. It is a shorter book but it packs a ton of useful information. It will show you how to start and what to do. It is a great book for anyone looking for another place to sell their books. It is well written and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.
