  • Hole in the Rock is a fairly quick pace fun adventure aimed for middle school aged children 8-12 but I think younger may enjoy it as well but may not understand the message as well as an older kid . In this fun story we follow along with a girl named Lizzy as she learns a few lessons about how our actions may have certain consequences, making the right choices,importance of family and friends, having to take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions. Lizzy’s father is a taxidermist and she’s a animal lover who doesn’t like his job. When he decides to move his family to a cave. Everything is fixing to change. One thing that children and even adults will learn from this story is that everyone makes mistakes and not everyone will agree and our actions may have certain consequences but we learn from them . I highly recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This is a wonderfully written Paranormal/ Fantasy Suspense/Romance that will captivate you from the beginning and its hard as heck to put down. I read in one afternoon. This author is one of my favorites and each book is just as good as the last. Her style of writing and attention to detail makes for an epic story. The characters are relatable, fully developed and creative. They definitely bring the story to life and you feel like you are apart of the adventure. This is Kimber and Fabian’s story. Kimber is empathic she senses people’s pain and emotions. She also has visions . These abilities aren’t normally found in vampires. Kimber has been held captive by her very selfish leaders. Fabian is shaman and watches over the world and magic. He’s very different from others as he genuinely cares for others. These two together can they join forces together and keep all evil away? I’m afraid im going to give to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. As always I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This is a Paranormal story loaded with vampires,demons,witches,werewolves and lots of other supernatural elements. There’s a lot going on and I had a bit of a hard time trying to figure it all out. This authors style of writing pulls you and keeps you turning the pages unfortunately with this one the many different POVs made it hard for me to get into the story with ease like normal. The characters are creative, developed. I truly wanted to enjoy this more than I did. Id recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. If you like many different POVs and stories about revenge then this is a book for you. Im still looking forward to reading more from this Author. I’m hoping it was just the mood I was in for this book.

A Teacher’s Heart is a cute children’s book that children of any age can enjoy. The illustrations are bright and colorful and brings the story to life. Teacher’s Heart shows us that they come in many different ways, some are tall while others may be short. Some are strong and others weak. But at the end of the day A Teacher’s Heart is do BIG! I loved everything about this book and my five year old son did to. We must love everyone regardless of who they are or what they look like. We are all equals. I highly recommend this book and we look forward to reading more from this Author as this was our first time.
