I have read a few books by this author and I really highly recommend them as they are great way for kids to read and learn.

Once again I have read another great teaching book by this author. I really wish my children were young enough to read these. This series is a great learning tool for kids. I cannot reccomend this series enough. I really found that the author’s use of a well known fairy tale and the way in which she has enhanced it was a great way to engage kids and help them to get interested in learning.

The story although a classic is refreshed in this unique telling. I really would get this book for a child between 5 and 9. It really draws the attention of the reader and shows them a fresh way to look at the subject. I will definitely refer this series to friends with kids.

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin,Bourbon,and Barbeque Book 1 ) Audiobook by Reggie Dupree – Review by Caralee Loonat

/0 Comments/in , /by

I just love to find new authors and new sereies. With this being said I also love when the books have an audiobook version as well. This is a great way to be able to do your everyday chores and get lost in the world created by the author. This book was the first from this author that I have listened to and I was not let down at all. I really enjoy paranormal style books and this was a great change to my usual genre. I like how the author brings the characters to life. The story line in the book really flows well as well as the characters chemistry is really explosive.

This book really has a great underlying topic and I am really glad that an author really chose to use it. I cannot wait to be able to read the next enstallment in this series. The narrator chosen really brought this book to life and I loved the charisma brought to the character. I will definitely be getting more audio as well as proper books from this author in future.

I just love the Greek Myths and this book was really spot on. The author has a style that was a breath of fresh air and really brought the myths to life. I really liked how she was able to create the chemistry between the characters and retell the stories. I really found myself unable to stop the audio book. I really enjoyed the choice of narrator and really felt as though I was right in the midst of the action. I was able to relax and enjoy the narration and I really feel that this brings new levels to the books as I could just get lost in the action. I really enjoyed this audio book and feel as though I would also buy the proper book just to add to the experience. I look forward to hearing more from this author.

The author is able to create down to earth characters that really to draw the reader in and keep your glued to your seat. I really liked the revenge setting of the book and how it sort of backfired and the main character became smitten with the guy.

Again we got to a point where the characters were feeling safe and bam. This author really knows how to get the twists and turns into her stories. I love how the characters develope and mature and how the drama isn’t overwhelmed by romance. The balance really is just right. By now though I am really amazed I was drawn into a dypstopian world and I really cannot put this book down.

I really started to feel the loss along with the characters and really wanted to have a happy ever after but not knowing if it would be. I found that the author was able to redevelop the world and create an even more challenging one. I really couldnt put it down and needed to see how it all would end.

Just when you think it is all safe and secure bam. Well this fourth book realy sort of throws a curveball at the characters. As with the past three books in the series they handle it with all the charisma and grace you expect. I realy like how the author draws out the series and uses twists and turns. This fourth book really drew me in.

The characters are drawn into a bit of a web and I love how the author is able to balance the romance and the drama whilst leading the reader through the story. I cannot say enough how I really felt as though I was right beside the characters. I truly got swept up in this world and could really feel how important the lessons the character’s learnt were.

I was so amazed when I got lost in this dystopian world. The romance and drama and adventure are well balanced. The author really has a entwined this series nicely. The books have a real flow and as with the first two I cannot wait to read the next one. I am excited to see how all the drama will unfold.

The second book developes the story line further and we begin to see just what kind of world it is. The characters still have the chemistry and that also adds to the story. I like how the author begins to create the world even further and brings the reader into it.

There are beginning to have more twists and turns as the story progresses. The author does a wonderful job of creating a very colorfull world and characters. There is also a undertone of the story base and I this really had me not wanting to put this book down. I began to get a clearer thought process of this series.

I do like the romance element of this series and the whole setting of the series really was well written and I for one felt as though I was right in the midst of it. I have not really read a lot of dystopian books but I was drawn into this one.

I like how the author builds the characters and how the story is carried out. The chemistry between what becomes the lead characters really adds to the story.

This book is set in my most favorite place to go to on holiday and also it’s a romance I really couldn’t ask for anything else. To make it even more it is a historical romance which is one of my top favorite genres. I like how the author is able to bring the back story to add to the present of the characters.
