Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series Book 4) by C.R. Alam – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Dangerous Rhythm (The Echo Series, #4)Dangerous Rhythm by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Rhythm is Book Four in The Echo Series. It is an intriguing read with a great storyline that puts a spin on the roles we would typically see in society. The story centers around the characters of Curtis and Lina and the smoldering flame they have carried for each other for years. Curtis is a rockstar that plays in the band Canis Major. He seemingly has everything you could possibly want with wealth, fame, and good-looking women swooning over him. Lina is a bodyguard that has been hired to protect the members of the band. When she has the chance to be around Curtis again after two years away from him, she cannot help but be anxious and excited. He has a charm and presence about him that she has not forgotten and cannot seem to resist. When Curtis witnesses a horrendous crime, it is up to Lina to protect him at all costs. As the two spend more time together the chemistry between them intensifies and becomes undeniable. Lina feels conflicted between keeping Curtis safe and giving into her feelings for him. Curtis has not stopped thinking about Lina since they first met two years ago, and he is determined to show her that he is the man for her. Things heat up in more ways than one with danger lurking around every corner and the passion burning between Curtis and Lina. A fantastic read with drama, danger, angst, passion, chemistry, romance, rockstars, a mob boss, and suspense. I loved the reverse protector roles and how Lina was Curtis’ bodyguard. I especially loved the character of Lina and that she was the protector in this storyline. She was smart, strong, courageous, fierce, and unafraid to look danger in the eye. I highly recommend not only this book, but this series!

This was an entertaining read about pirates and what they do when they are not sailing around the world looking for treasure. What do pirates do on vacation? Do they sing? Dance? Have campfires?

The rhyming really made the story fun to follow along with and the illustrations really brought the story to life. An entertaining read for children of all ages and will surely captivate children’s imaginations. A book worth reading over and over again!

The Sneaky Kitten (Invisible Magic Wand Book 4) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

The Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book FourThe Sneaky Kitten: Invisible Magic Wand Book Four by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Caspian spots a kitten stuck in a tree, he wants to rescue the kitten. He goes home and puts on the Hot Chocolate Socks that he received for his Unbirthday from his Grandpa. He sets off on his flying broom to rescue the kitten from the tree. When Caspian gets back to the tree the kitten takes off in a flying saucer.

This was a cute little story about trying to rescue a kitten from a tree. The illustrations were beautiful and helped to bring the story to life. The general idea of saving the kitten from the tree was good, but I thought it was odd to pour hot chocolate on the socks. I also got a bit lost and confused at the end of the book when the flying saucer suddenly appeared. Kids would probably find the kitten to be funny with his antics. Overall, it was a cute story.
