I am a liar.
I lie to protect myself.
I lie because I’m terrified.
I lie to keep a secret that would destroy everything in my life if everyone knew.
Holly is the new girl at school and my unwilling lab partner. She hates me because I’m one of the popular guys—one of the bullies who terrorize the unfortunate and the unpopular. For me, it’s who I’ve had to become to keep anyone from getting too close—close enough to see right through me.
When Holly finds out my secret, I have to do whatever it takes to keep her quiet—even if it means telling the most damaging lie of all—the one I tell myself.

Human Hearts (Draco Sang Trilogy Book 3) by Mary Beesley – Review by Jenni Bishop

Human Hearts (Draco Sang #3)Human Hearts by Mary Beesley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Human Hearts is the final book in this unique YA fantasy trilogy. What an epic conclusion it is. Mary is one great storyteller.

The story is told by three main POV which enriches the narrative in this page-turner. The characters are well crafted and developed and you can feel their emotions. The writing is beautifully crafted, the world building is vivid and creative and the plot is cleverly woven and is thrilling, interesting and highly engaging.

Three warriors who have been fighting to find themselves but also fighting for survival and the journey has been real and raw.

It is a story where you need to go into it blind and enjoy every moment in the discovery.

Bake OffBake Off by Cori Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bake Off is the second book in the Bake Believe series. It is a fun story of a young girl coming into her own, really starting to discover herself, and her family in a whole new way.
She doesn’t only have normal teen issues to deal with, like school, and boys. She has a special gift that she doesn’t understand and is having trouble getting a handle on it. In this book, she takes a trip to visit her family in Arizona, hoping to learn more about her gift and her family. She wants to use her gift for good but she has to understand it first.
Once again the author has done an amazing job pulling you into the pages of the book. They don’t just tell you how the character feels, they bring it to life so that you can imagine the feeling as if it is happening to you. The story is light and funny and the main character learns some life lessons along the way. There is just enough mystery to without getting too complicated, making this book perfect for anyone from the age of 10 and up. This book is just very well written. I can’t wait for the next book in the series and I would definitely recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bake Believe is a story of a young girl who is a little boy crazy and determined to enjoy every second of life. Through a happy accident she comes to find that she has a special ability when she bakes. Not special like her food tastes good, special like magical!
This is a fantastic story for ages from middle school to adult. Not only is the story cute and funny, but the artist has the gift of making you feel like you are part of the story, experiencing it right along with the character.
This book should carry a warning though! Each chapter is followed by a delicious recipe that you will want to try.
I would recommend this book to anyone ages 10 and up! Looking forward to reading the rest if the series

This book was a really great sequel to the first book. It was a perfect clean teen read with enough surprises to keep you guessing. The first book was great but this sequel really took the cake. Full of teen angst, a hint of romance, and plenty of humor this book was a great read and definitely parent approved.

This was a very cute coming of age story! The characters were lovable and the family dynamic was relatable. Everyone remembers those awkward coming of age years but to add baking that immensely messes with peoples feelings to the mix, who would have thought!
Throughout the story you find yourself wanting to know more background on each characters and longing to understand how each character fits into the story! The author did a great job of keeping the readers attention!
The only complaint is I wish the author would have incorporated the pretzels more that were so important in the beginning!

This book is a good preteen book. It starts with Cat’s last day of summer vacation. Cat grew up in a house where no one bakes. At all. Ever. Her mother seems a bit odd and Cat seems to be a bit much. But I love her character and remember being like her at that age. I love that there are recipes in each chapter, which do not skip over them. They are just as good as the rest of the book. I can’t wait to read the next book to find out more!

Bake Off is the second book in the Bake Believe series aimed at pre-teen and young teen readers. The story is a fun, baking magic story. Cat is learning more about her family and coming into her own as a baker. Will this new insight and information on her family help her succeed and excel?
I enjoyed this fun, family-orientated story. The characters are fun, and it is fantastic to see them developing more since the first book. The story is also interesting and will grab the attention of any young teen interested in baking and cooking. I enjoy finding new stories to hand to my niece to grab her attention and get her to read more. I look forward to the next book in the series and where Cat’s story goes next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cat has made the road trip with her family to see the family bakery and to (hopefully) figure out how to control her emotional baking. Instead of just sitting down and laying out the family history, CG creates a scavenger hunt that gives Cat and Robyn a more “hands on” approach. But, Cat is observant, and is noticing that there are lots of things not being said from different members of her family…and she is determined to figure it out. Turns out there is more going on than everyone is letting on.

I enjoyed the first book in the series and was happy to see Cat get some answers that will help her. This book is definitely written for a younger reader (maybe 10-14 years of age), but I still enjoyed it. And…there is a recipe at the end of each chapter that sounds super yummy!

This book is the second in a series, which I thought I had read the first book but I must have been dreaming. lol Anyway, I was able to figure out the characters but I think I may have missed something by not reading the fist book. I’m sure I’ll be correcting that mistake very soon.

I love Cat and her grandma GG, who challenges Cat with recipes and not making it too easy for Cat and Robyn to figure out answers. How fun to have a scavenger hunt around the city finding the answers that GG won’t provide easily. I think this was not only fun but also helped
Cat really find out about her ancestors and especially the original baker of the family.

The characters are really easy to connect with, the book is a really fun read, and the recipes listed in the book would be a fun experience for young bakers to try!

Bake Off is the second in the series, sequel to Bake Believe. It is a fun urban fantasy for preteen and teen readers who love baking and food. There’s a recipe at the end of every chapter – I can imagine reading it together during the school holidays, doing a chapter a day and then making the recipe! But I ended up mostly reading it on the subway, saving the recipes for later. Anyway, I do love a book that lets you know how to make the delicious treats it’s been describing!
The story is written from Cat’s perspective. I really like the style – it feels like chatting to a teenager about their interests and experiences. Even the recipes are in this friendly and conversational style. Cat is observant, and we see her thought process as she notices the tensions and behaviour of her family and figures out how best to respond.
This is a really fun read! I love baking and enjoy reading fantasy, so it’s perfect for me and gets five stars! I would recommend the series to young readers who love to bake and eat delicious food!

Cat is back and this time Cat, Robyn and the rest of the family are off to visit GG (Grandma Ginny). Of course there are adventures and antics that create the fun atmosphere this author has a way with. This book was enjoyable even for me although I would imagine the target audience is ages 10-16ish. My daughter and I are both avid readers and though she is an adult as well I will be passing this series to her as I have so far really enjoyed it. I am very much looking forward to book three.

This next installment of the series was just as great of a read as the first one! Being brought back into the world of imagination with this author baking books was a wonderful distraction that I so thoroughly needed. The way this book is written makes it where the adult will like reading the book as much as the child who reads it. The cover art for the books are what originally have drawn me in and I am not disappointed at all. I cannot wait to read more from this author who makes imagination and baking fun!

Years ago, the ghouls ruled my homeland of Purgatory with all the gentle care of a throat punch. They even controlled the Great Scala, the only being who sends souls to Heaven or Hell. These days, the ghouls are gone and I’m the Great Scala. It’s as awesome as it sounds.

Then the Grim Reaper shows up and says, hold my scythe.

I’m told to go home and find a new job. Me. And my orders come from none other than Lady Regina the Reaper, a Victorian-style chick who sports a tiny hat and some huge attitude. Simply put, Regina is a rule-loving snob. She’s also the new favorite of my old nemesis, the Oligarchy, aka the four undead kings of all ghoul kind. And much as I hate to admit it, she’s put together a pretty effective evil scheme.

No question what’s truly happening, though. The ghouls want to step back into ruling Purgatory by giving me the boot through Regina. I’m having none of it. And this time, I’m taking the fight to the ghoul homeland. After all, no one knows ghouls better than I do. I’ve got myself a Nazgul-style disguise along with a plan to oust the Oligarchy in three simple steps. All I need to do is control my tail and temper. Not a problem.

Regina the Reaper can kiss my quasi butt. No one fires the Great Scala.

This is a series I can’t seem to put down. This is the third book from Amy McKinley that I have read, and not in order. This makes it a bit more difficult but the story lines are very easy to follow. I definitely plan to read all the other books in this series.
Hailey, the girl on the outside seems to have it all but when she gets kidnapped by a ski masked man her life doesn’t look so perfect.
Trey, a member of the Five Families and a steamy surgeon, can’t bring himself to think about having a relationship. When Hailey gets kidnapped her step dad hires Trey to find her. But little did Hailey and Trey realize that they would be more than captor and captee.

Bake Off is book 2 of the Bake Believe series, and should be read in order. There is a lot of background information and ground work laid in the first book that would be needed to fully understand and enjoy Bake Off. While the book is written for children, I am an adult and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the writing style, it was very realistic. There is a lot of sarcasm and phrases used, that makes it really seem like it is written by a 14 year old. The great Grandma, GG, is very well written. Her phrases are written in broken English, realistic of the fact that she is from France. The characters are all well written and I grew to love them all. Upon writing this review, I see that this is going to be a trilogy- yay! I cant wait to read another in the series. I plan to pass this book to my pre-teen daughter to read.

In book 2, we again catch up with Cat, Robyn, Tobey, and friends. In this round, Cat has managed to talk her parents into going to meet her GG and aunt Jojo, and learn about why her cooking magic works the way that it does.

Cat learns so much about her family history, but all of it seems to just make things more confusing instead of answering any questions. To make it worse, her being in Arizona, haing to get up at 5 AM to practice baking with GG, and listening to everyone fight all the time keeps her away from Tobey. Can her family heal? Can Cat learn why her cooking works the way that it does? Will her mom and Jojo ever get along again?

This series is imaginative, magical, endearing, and a lot of fun – plus it offers tasty recipes!

This book was cute, fun, has recipes included, and offers a glimpse of life through a teenagers eyes. Imaginative, fun, and not another dystopian-like-all-the-others YA novel.

All Cat wants is for her last day of summer to be the most epically awesome day EVER. This means getting to the pool early with her best friend/cousin, get the perfect amount of blond in her hair, thanks to lemon juice and sunshine, and boys to flirt with. Everything is going great, and she even meets a NEW cute boy and tries the best soft pretzel she has ever had in her life!

Why can’t Cat get this pretzel out of her head? Now that she thinks about it…why does her mom hate cooking so much? Why don’t they ever have anything that isn’t carry out or delivery? Cat is about to set out on a very interesting journey in learning about magic and her family secret.
