The Missing Red Envelopes by Yobe Qiu – Review by Rita White

/0 Comments/in /by

This is a great book for kids ages 7 to 12. I had my 12 year old granddaughter read this to me, and just hearing her read this book about the different culture was great. She really enjoyed the book also. The illustrations were phenomenal, and the writing was great.
In this book, we learn about the Lunar New Year and two Asian American sisters going throughout this special day. It’s tradition to visit family and friends and receive red envelopes containing money and chocolates. The red envelopes are misplaced, so they retrace their steps to find them. Great story, and I absolutely love that the big sister doesn’t get mad and is very patient with the little sister. It’s such a cute little book.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell Series) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Rita White

/0 Comments/in /by

This is the first book of the Life is Hell Series.  What a ride! This book is a short, fast-paced book that has a bunch of characters that you learn a lot about in a short amount of time.  The author takes each character and goes in depth so you get a good feel for each of them.  My hope is that in the other 4 books, she will expand on each character.
Delilah is a demon trying to go on vacation to rest and see what a semi normal life would be like.  She picks a small little town and rents a cabin by the lake.  There is a nosey sheriff, a diner and other things you would find in a small town, but it also has demons, demon hunters, witches, and other creatures that you will just have to read to find out about. Oh, and the cover is wicked good! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

The Mating Chance (Long Claw Pride Series & LumberCats Series) by Brooke May – Review by Rita White, 03/2024

/0 Comments/in /by

This is the 3rd book in the series, and it is fantastic.  It has to be a stand-alone because I haven’t read the first 2. (Yet)
The story follows Cricket and Boone, who are Mountain Lions.  Crickets family runs a logging business, and this creepy man will not leave them alone about buying the business.
Cricket lost her 1st mate to a logging accident, and once you have mated, you are mated for life.  Well, that didn’t work with Cricket as she has gotten the mating call again.  This has never happened before.  You will see her struggle with this mating call because of losing her 1st mate.  Fantastic read.
