What a ride.
This story takes you’d on adventure and all the twists and turns you would find in most sci-fi books. But this story sucks you in with all the detail and the knowledge you find along the way. The main characters have great chemistry and seem to make the story complete! It was like you were right there with them!
You will not want to put this book down! 100% worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well, this is my second book from this author, and I’m in love.
The story between Will and Tori is wonderful and heartfelt. If you have not read the first book you need to go back and get the details!
Will is fighting cancer and fighting hard. Tori walks in and brings light to the darkest hospital room! But after finding out Will revoked his DNR, there was a fighting chance for him! Also, a long road of recovery. But with Tori by his side and his caring friends and family, there is nothing they can’t do!
I felt like I was right there in the hospital room with them. The author is on point and this two book series will not be the last for me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a good little book. Anyone could read it, from 5-95. ‘Greatness is Contagious’
This story follows a cat named Priscida and trying to find out how to be great!
What does it take to be great? Is it what you do? Is it who who are around? Is it both of those things and a little bit of love?
This story was well thought out and has great meaning in todays world. The artwork is very cute as well. Being a small artist myself, I love seeing other artists at work.

Colors of Darkness: Ability Awareness Activity BookColors of Darkness: Ability Awareness Activity Book by Feather Chelle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Simply, WOW.
This book should be read in classrooms around the world.
The author of this fabulous book is blind. They have went into detail, for the reader, about experiences and answered questions that are most commonly asked.
They also supplied the alphabet in braille and ASL.
This part is great. I have been taking ASL evening classes to help learn to talk with one of my neighbors. It has been a trial, but I keep at it.
Just like the author, they keep going. They don’t let being blind be the end. They adapt and use other senses to carry on. And we as a world need to do better to help everyone. Not just people that don’t have disabilities.
This story/activity/poem book is perfect for all ages. Everyone should read this.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price AUDIO BOOK by C. L. Schneider – Review by Stephanie Colley

/0 Comments/in , /by

The story was phenomenal. It grabbed me in the prologue and didn’t let me go till the end.
It was a great take on magic. It can’t be used without a price, something living has to die. I haven’t heard of that take before that I remember. That part alone had my interest.

The story line was great also. Ian Troy is a Shinree soldier. He has the magic for battle, yet is kills everything and everyone around when doing it.
This type of power is hard to control.

Troy is running from his past. But now he has to go back to battle for his nation. But after vowing to never use his magic again, after a terrible loss, will he be able to help??

The narrator was on point with changing his voice and tone for each character. It made the story worth listening! I would love to listen to more books read by him.

Let me tell you! Wow! This story is amazing. The author knows how to tell a story and keep it interesting all the way through. I was so impressed with this story line and will most definitely go back and read the first three books in the series!
Luke, a single dad, is in a band and needs to find a nanny to watch his wonderful daughter while he is away.
Here comes Nikki, a nanny. She might be a fan favorite. Or at least a fan of Luke’s band! Will things heat up between these two! Will her true fan girl come out!
This story will keep you strumming along till the last beat.

A Spell of RowansA Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After the death of their mother, a witch by any other name, the Rowan siblings have to clean up the mess. All the while trying to make a better future for themselves!
There is mystery in the murders that surround the family. Talk of childhood trauma and living through all the abuse the siblings endured from their mother. While their father sat back and let it all happen.
The way the author tells this story of family drama, death, and mysteries that have to be solved is beyond amazing. This was a great read and would recommend this book to anyone!

My heart! This story had my heart in its grip from the beginning! You will need your tissues and popcorn! It is such a good story.

I sure hope you keep reading! It’s such a good story! I have recommended this story to friends already.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Well to start off I love the narration from Cassandra King. She always makes every character different and it makes the listening experience so amazing.

This is my first book from C.L. Schneider but it will not be my last. The way that the characters are described and the flow of the story makes you want more.

From chasing Banshee’s to traveling between the world of humans and the world of supernatural. This story had me wanting to read the rest of the series to know everything that happened.

Have to say I love reading the different ways authors convey the story of Cinderella. In this new series the author has blown me out of the water with their rendition. You will get drawn in fast and not wanting it to end as quick!
Ashling, the leading character, is done with her evil stepmother and sisters! She is done with standing on the sidelines.
This is one of my favorite retellings to date! Book 2 come out soon!

This is such a great series to read if you want a new take on vampire story!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The deep emotional connection that this story touches on would be great for any YA read. And have the conversations that come up.
High school and home life can get the best of any teen. When you throw in all the drama and heartache that comes with both! Most teens dwell on the bad things and take all the things said to heart.
This story shows it is ok to make mistakes. But learning to trust your own heart in the process.
This story is great for the younger kids to show them it is going to be ok in the end.

Can this model and pub owner make this work for them?
This little series is turning into a fantastic read. Book three where are you?! Because we are ready!

This is some good paranormal writing. It’s hard to come by sometimes. Getting into many different genres lately, paranormal has been at the top of the list.
If you want a romance, the spooky feels and a lot of tension between a couple. This story is right up the ally for you.
This story is about Luci inheriting a house from her aunt with some character if you will. The house captivates Luci with its mysterious ways and that drives a wedge between her and her fiancée.
What happens to them? Will the house take over or do they have a chance?? You will have to read to find out!

This story is emotional and raw. It also shows what a mother will do to protect her son. No length to too much.
The struggle to find friends with a mental illness is real. But when you find out you don’t know if the voice you trust is real, how do you come back from that?
This story is so real and happens every day in someone’s world. A lot goes in noticed. Mental illness needs more light shown and this book shined in my opinion.

Murder in a Garden Club!
Who would have thought that plot line could be so interesting and keep one attention till the end!
This murder mystery is very detailed, powered by women and easy to follow along.
When there is drama in a garden club and the death is one of the dearly loved members/leader. You question everyone and everything before you are next to be sleeping with the roses!
There is some grapevine twists and turns in this story, but great ending! Who’s ready to dig up the dirt!!
There is a character list at the beginning of the book in case you haven’t read her other books. Very helpful in my opinion.
