Book Review: Showstoppers an Emily Castles Mystery

 I read another Emily Castles novella awhile back, so I jumped at the chance to read this one.    I love the characters in these mysteries and love that the author brought so many of them back.  These books are so easy to read and you can finish one in just a couple of hours.  As before, this book has a great plot and is well written and easy to follow.  If there is another one in this series, I certainly hope I get the chance to read it.

Book Review: Freeborn

I recently read a book entitled Freeborn which was about the illegitimate son of outlaw and bank robber Jesse James.   Set in Freeborn, South Dakota in the late 1800's, this book is a western novel with a bit of a twist.  Great detail goes into the backstory between Jesse James and Sylvia Jane along with the upbringing of Woody(their son) and his various experiences.  Somewhat comical in nature, and definitely not as boring as a traditional western novel, I would definitely recommend.    I really liked the detail that the author puts into describing the events that take place in Freeborn and the people themselves.  

  

I received a copy of Freeborn from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: Freedom Alert

 Freedom Alert is a great spy novel for even the most discerning reader.  The book is very well written, the descriptions of the characters are great.   The story has a great plot that keeps you guessing and has you on edge at times and as it's a relatively short novel I was able to finish it in a few hours.  I love spy novels and I thought this one was great.  I did find it to be a little more violent than what I'm used to but I didn't find it too overwhelming.  This book is part of the Cole Slaven series and I think you will find me reading the next installment as well.  The author, Nelson Pahl is an award winning literary fiction writer and has written another series called The Gnomes, which is a fantasy fiction trilogy that I would like to read as well.  I thought Mr. Pahl was a very good author who can tell a good story without all of the fillers that other authors can't seem to leave out.

Book Review: The Siren of Paris

 The Siren of Paris is a great book that was written about a WWII veteran who passes only to find himself in spiritual limbo with ghosts who transport him back to his 20's.  Wonderfully written and researched, this book transports you back to that time and introduces you to many actual historical figures.  This is a great book with a great story and believable and likeable characters.    The author does a great job of describing the time period and events that occurred.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it with anyone looking interested in historical fiction novels.

Book Review: Wide Awake- A Vampire Romance

 I had the pleasure of reading Wide Awake, written by Jade Cooper.  This book was phenomenal and had me hooked from the first page.  I have really grown fond of vampire and werewolf romance novels and this is one of the best I have read.   This book has a great paranormal background and has strong characters that are well written.   There is a bit of erotica included in this book but its not overly distracting.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance.

Book Review: When Life Cracks

 This is a very interesting book about how one person struggled to overcome her deepest darkness and is now working to inspire others to do the same.  It's a very motivational book that I think would be great for anyone suffering personal tragedies or heartbreak.  This book does have a very spiritual feel to it and it does include some scripture so it's not really for non-believers.  However, if you have questions in your mind this book might lead you on a journey to discover the answers.

Book Review: Melpomene

 Did you ever wonder what happened to literary works like the ones that we read in high school and college?   I remember how much I loved poetry and prose in high school because it was a such a challenge to find the true meaning behind the poems and literary works.  Melpomene is a great collection of works that are filled with sorrowful and beautiful poetry.  I think it's fitting that it's named Melpomene after the Greek Muse of Tragedy.  This book is a definite must read if you have any interest in great literary works.

Book Review: Deadly Liaisons

I had the pleasure of reading Deadly Liaisons, written by Jessica C. Agnew.  Jessica Agnew is a freelance novelist; who specializes in vampire romance. She was born in Rockford, IL and early in her life she showed a interest in vampire romance. Her debut novel Deadly Liaisons is the product five years in the making.

This book is a great read.  Not only did the story have me captivated from the first page, but the characters are dynamic and very well written.  This story is full of interesting characters from  werewolves and vampires and humans to something the author calls Orderlies.   The story is a mix of suspense, romance, and drama.  If you like vampire or werewolf novels, you will love this book!!
