Ceremonial Magick by Ann Nyland
What can I say about this author and her work? I think the word fantastic about sums it up!
This mystery is well written, and you just want more clues.
The characters, especially Amy, pique your interest very quickly and easily. Nothing seems forced in this novel.
This book is a fun read! It is exciting, mysterious, and I love how the author slips humor in throughout the book.
This book keeps you guessing, and leaves you shocked!
5 Stars. I wish I had 10 to give her!
My review tonight is for The Cure by Bradlee Frazer.
This book was interesting, scary, intense, and touching. The reader goes through many emotions as they read this book!
The characters are surprisingly real. Mr. Frazer creates people out of
his mind that leave the reader wondering if they could be based on real
people.
The plot line is scary because it could happen. It's about an illness that spreads
like wildfire and kills without prejudice. The one "cure" is a man
named Jason. As you can imagine, he is treated horribly to extract the
"cure".
The plot is intense. This is a great medical mystery. It
sucks you in and has a great X-Files feel to it. It has lots of twists
and turns. It has the ability to absorb the reader.
One thing that I did notice was that the author has the rare talent to paint a picture with his words.
"Marcus tried to make out the words, but they were muffled and distant, like they were coming from yesterday." Beautiful!
5 Stars to you Mr. Frazer!
My review tonight is on Miracle by Elizabeth Scott.
This book is beautiful and haunting at the same time. As always, the
author writes unique characters for this book, and they are written
incredibly well. The relationships that blossom and grow are surprising
and written with love and care.
This book is about Megan, the only survivor of a plane crash. The way she doesn't deal with the trauma, how people change around her, and her ultimate healing.
I love this author. She is one of my favorites, and I usually can't
find anything about her work that I would change. That being said, there
were parts that did drag a little. It pains me to admit this about the
book.
Overall, this was a good read, but I must knock a star of for the plot drag. 4 Stars.
I am going to review one of my favorite books
tonight. The Year I Turned Sixteen by Diane Schwemm is now and forever a
favorite of mine. It's a collection of her four books about four
sisters that takes place in the year they each turned sixteen.
I adore the characters. The author does an incredible job of taking the
reader on an emotional journey through four different and unique
characters. The reader also finds themselves remembering the year they turned sixteen. I guess that good be either good or bad! :)
The characters face everything from dealing with being the oldest
sister and helping the family, death, dealing with bad influences, and
trying to find out who they are on their own.
I really don't think this book will disappoint. 5 stars
One Moment by Kristina McBride is the book of
choice for review tonight. This book is written with such an amazing
mixture of emotions for the reader to delve into.
Maggie is a
complex character that was written with passion and enthusiasm. Each
character is unique and you grow to love each one.
The plot is very interesting to follow, and it is fleshed out extremely well. Maggie is on a cliff top
with her boyfriend, and they are going to jump together. Maggie stops
running, and she can't remember what happened that led to her to not
jump, and that left her boyfriend, Joey, dead in the water below.
This book does, indeed, lead the reader down an emotional roller
coaster. There also proves to be an interesting mystery that needs to be
solved.
I give this book 4 Stars.
The book I am reviewing tonight is Blood On My Hands by Todd Strasser.
This book is gripping from beginning to end. I love each character,
especially Callie Carson. What she has to go through is unbelievable-in a
great way.
This book is addictive, and you will love every minute
of it. The plot line is exciting, and it moves along at a great pace.
Strasser puts in exciting twists and turns that leave you shocked.
For a reader that loves a good mystery, this is the right book for you!
5 Stars!
