Tally and the Angel : Book One IndiaTally and the Angel : Book One India by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is a well written story about Tally and her Angel. She believes that having an angel with her things couldn’t go wrong. Until she realizes that it doesn’t seem to matter as she finds herself in danger and in a race against time. She took me on a fun, entertaining adventure where she will find courage and strength. She made such a great character. She is relatable and I really enjoyed what she brought to the story. The secondary characters are just as fun and entertaining. They brought the story to life and took me on a fun adventure. This is a great fantasy story that I am happy I picked up. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second part to the book Blue Summer which is just as great as the first book. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story that is a continuation of the first book. The characters are even better in this book and made the story pop. This is a shorter story that really packs the action. With Lillie being kidnapped a second time the sorcerer is out for more power than ever. Thinking that she knows more than what she is saying, will this put her in more danger and will she be able to save herself this time? This was a fun and entertaining book to read. The characters made the story come to life on every page. It is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

This is a great adventure story that takes on a thriller aspect as well as just a great story. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to reading the next book in this series. This is a well written story where good and evil seem to collide. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. The twists and turns not only heat up the pages but also left me questioning what would happen next. Vanessa has the ability to bring out the good in people. She has problems but they are about to get a little worse. Throughout the story she is faced with three men, all different. She is about to have three more problems. The story is full of action and hot, steamy men. I enjoyed the growth throughout the story as well as being pulled into the story.

The House that Adelia Built AUDIO BOOK by Mya O’Malley – Review by Bobbi Wagner

/0 Comments/in , /by

This is  my first audible story by this author but I will say that it is my favorite.   I enjoyed this narrator and the story she told.  With this story it is like listening to two different stories in one.  I think the narrator did a good job of making the two stories separate but yet one and not confusing.  There are a few characters in this story that are lovable and connectable.  This story revolves around a lighthouse. The first couple moved there after they were married back in 1800. After a while he started changing and she was confused on why.  Then it brings us to the current day where you have Hope who is a woman who is a little lost and has low self esteem. She is having nightmares at night and is not sure what they mean. When she starts investigating why she is having these dreams, what will she uncover? There is something about the lighthouse that has drawn her to it.   She also meets a man who they spend quite a bit of time together. What will happen when they start developing feelings for each other? I enjoyed listening to  both stories about the past and the present.  I really enjoyed listening to this and I highly recommend it.
