Review: End of Watch

End of Watch by Stephen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

End of Watch is the final installment of Stephen King's Bill Hodges Trilogy. I loved the flow of the story, and the characters were well known after reading the first two books. This trilogy was slightly different than King's usual works, and he touches on the subject of suicide, which needs to be addressed in this country. Well done Sai King!

Review: Illuminate

Illuminate by Tracy Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Illuminate by Tracy Clark is the last book in The Light Key Trilogy. I am a sword and sorcery kind of reader, so this trilogy was out of my comfort zone, but I have to say that this trilogy was well executed and captured and held my attention. I found this last book to be exciting, touching, and I didn't want this story to end. Tracy kept me swept up in the lives of the characters. The characters were so real to life that I felt I could reach out and touch them. This book was well written. Though there were a couple typos, nothing to distract or hinder the flow of the story. I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone looking for a strong female lead, action, suspense, and a clean romance.

Review: Deviate

Deviate by Tracy Clark
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Deviate is the second novel in The Light Key Trilogy by Tracy Clark. It's the continuing story of a young lady trying to find out who and what she is, and who wants her dead. This story just keeps getting better! I've come to admire this young lady as she has grown and became stronger throughout this story. The characters are so vivid that I feel as if I'm in the story with them. There is plenty of suspense that keeps me glued to the story. I love Tracy's writing style as it reads smoothly. I've started the last book in the trilogy and I'm so eager to find out what happens with this strong female lead. It's a definite must read trilogy!

Review: Scintillate

Scintillate by Tracy Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Scintillate is the first book in the paranormal romance trilogy, The Light Key Trilogy, by Tracy Clark. The story is about a young girl finding out who and what she is. I was intrigued by this story, though it was a bit predictable in parts, the author did a great job in keeping my attention.

I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a well written paranormal romance.

Review: The Blue Dragon's War: an epic fantasy story

The Blue Dragon's War: an epic fantasy story by Sean Newton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I read the first book in this series, and I loved it. I was a little disappointed in the editing of this book, however. There were words used mistakenly, such as, loose for lose, and similar errors. The story was great, and the characters were well fleshed out. There was quite a bit of fighting, which I love when it comes to fantasy stories. I will continue to read this series, because of the world and character building, but I hope the next installment is better edited.

Review: The Dragon King

The Dragon King by Anthony Russo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I loved this short story. For this story to be so short, so many things happened. I was hooked from the first page. Anthony Russo and Alberto Bieri did an amazing job of creating a fantasy world. The world building was spectacular. I felt like I was amid the world the authors described. The character growth was amazing, and I felt as if I knew the characters personally. I'm eagerly waiting for more from these two authors.

Review: Cara's Twelve

Cara's Twelve by Chantel Seabrook
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I was excited about reading this story, but the more I read the more I disliked it. The lead character was a confused teenager that never learned anything on her way to becoming queen. This story had a lot of romance, which is not my cup of tea. I probably could have finished this book, if it weren't so horribly written. It is in dire need of editing. There were words where words shouldn't be, and words missing, or words repeated. The more I read the worse the writing became. The only recommendation that I can make is that people who enjoy romance might like this book.

Review: Nightwise

Nightwise by R.S. Belcher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. When I started this book, I wasn't familiar with Chakra, secret societies, and some of the darkness within the pages of this book. I had to do some research on some of the topics, but once I familiarized myself, this book was easy to follow. It was, to me, a very dark story with action and suspense. While reading this story, my mind associated this book, if just a bit, with Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. The story was fairly well written, though it was slow to start since I wasn't familiar, but this story pulled me in the more I read.

Review: The Twelve

The Twelve by Victoria Perkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked the way this book was written. It went back and forth with the two main characters telling their stories throughout the book with their stories intertwining. This book started off strong, but as the story progressed, it turned into a love story, which is not my cup of tea. It was written fairly well, but had some editing issues. I recommend this book to readers of love stories.

Review: Baad Dog

Baad Dog by Sal Conte
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This story started off strong, but as it progressed it lost some of the suspense that drew me in in the first place. I was disappointed in the ending. I felt it was a little rushed compared to the strong start. Also, this book needed some editing.

Review: Dragon's Future

Dragon's Future by Kandi J. Wyatt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Kandi J. Wyatt did a wonderful job creating a world full of intrigue. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I loved the writing style, though this book needs to be edited. There were grammatical errors throughout the book. If not for the editing problem, this would have been an easy five stars for me. I'm looking forward to the next installment, though I hope there will be better editing.

Review: The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel

The Sparrow Sisters: A Novel by Ellen Herrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I LOVED this story! This is one of the best books that I have read in a while. I have not read a story that elicited so many emotions in a very long time. The characters captured my heart, as well as the story. The characters were so real to life, and their dialogue was so believable that I could just picture these characters so easily. I am eagerly awaiting the next Sparrow Sisters novel. There were a few grammatical errors, but in no way did they hinder the flow of this story. If it weren't for these errors, this would have easily been a five star review. Since Goodreads doesn't allow half stars, I had to give this book four stars, but my rating is actually four and a half stars for this incredible tale. I highly recommend this book.

Review: Midnight Outbreak

Midnight Outbreak by Brandy Jeffus Corona
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. For starters, the characters in this book were well fleshed out. I felt as if I really got to know each character. I did feel that the book was far too rushed, and I would have liked more of the story. There were a few grammatical errors, but not enough to interfere with the flow of the story.
