{my thoughts} – I had always wondered what Dale’s back story was when I had been reading {BETWIXT}. The back story is very much engaging and quite wonderfully written. It really helps the reader to better understand him, where he came from and why he was perceived the way he was in High School. It makes sense why Nicole hardly paid notice to him in the school hallways and why he liked to keep to himself.

This book although short, justifies his character by every means possible. I really enjoyed getting to know him more and also loved the brief scene with his dog Jester. Although I wish there was more mention of the dog, call me hopeless the book met my expectations after reading {BETWIXT} first. This is a wonderful beginning to an excellently written series.… (more)

{my thoughts} - This book picks up where the last had let out. It filled with angst, betrayal, deceit, love, admiration, and loyalty. Gemma is forced to trust her gut or trust what she had been raised to believe as a child when it comes to her and her family. She never fully understood the point of her travels, why she always had to be with and if there was a reason that the entire family had always participated.

A lot of the questions you have as a reader get answered in this third book. This book was mind blowing and exceptional. I couldn’t help but cry from reading some of the heart to heart moments. Gemma is your not so average teenage girl that has a not so normal family.

She is forced to put her feelings aside in order to make a sacrifice that can take everything away from her that she has ever known. She has to decide if she should do what is right or what she wants in order to fix all the bad that has been taking place in and around her life. This is a definite must read series!

{my thoughts} - This book is about a teenage girl named Nicole {Nicky} Tepper. She’s a lost girl just trying to find her way in the real world. She has been through a lot and she has made herself numb to everything around her.

She spends a night out with her friends, she parties and leaves with her boyfriend Trent – they get into a fight over him wanting what she doesn’t want to give. She gets out of his car and he drives off. She is left there on the side of the road walking.

This is when everything for her changed. She was hit by a car. She was left for dead. She’s left in this ghost like state where she is living her life while she is slowly dying out in the middle of no wheres.

This book is engaging in so many ways. I have always have a major interest in near death experience type things. This book gives an interesting take on that subject. It is well written and well I absolutely fell in love with the dog in the book. I am biased I suppose because the dog shares the same name as my dog! So when I would read about the dog I was actually picturing my own dog in my head doing the things the book had been describing. It’s crazy awesome in my opinion.

If you enjoy reading about near death experiences and different takes on life and the after, this is a fantastic book to read. I highly recommend this book!

{my thoughts} - This book is fantastic. Every princess dreams to go on an adventure of their own. They want to explore, they want to wander the lands, and take in everything around them and all it’s beauty. This book is based on a princess named Kyla and her best-friend named Jethro. They are two very special individuals because they have been chosen to go on a very special journey for their god {Oron}. This journey is based off a prophecy that has long since been banned from being spoken about. However, a Seer of a nearby village comes to the Queen baring the news of the prophecy being set into motion. This book is full of emotions such as: self doubt, lust, love, regret, betrayal, forgiveness and more. The author leaves us with a cliff hanger, which leaves you wanting to read the next book in the series almost as soon as you complete this one.
