Review: Ain't No Messiah
Ain't No Messiah by Mark TulliusMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When I first got the kindle version of this from Goodreads I had a hard time getting into the book but since I agreed to give a review for my free copy I finished the book. I am so glad I did pick the book up and finish reading the novel. The ending had me laugh out load...but in between the pages after I got over the emotional and physical abuse of Joshua by his father, the story took on another life. One in which Joshua moves away from his abusive family and makes a new one only to be enticed back into the Church his father built upon Joshua being the New Messiah.

Review: The Witch and the Guillotine
The Witch and the Guillotine by Daniel SugarMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nine Lives
The second book about young witch Lily Paris who has a knack for landing in the frying pan time after time. Enjoyed the history that revolves around the different place and time she resides in before having to move on to another place in the world where no one knows she is a witch that must be killed.

Review: Sword for Hire
Sword for Hire by Griff HoskerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you love the tales of Robin Hood or the Three Musketeers then you should find and read this book. This book is similar to the tale of Robin Hood where a young man returns from the Crusade only to find that all his families properties have been stolen by the evil sheriff and his equally evil stand in for the King who is still on the crusade. With nothing but his word he finds in his travels several other honorable men who join him as mercenaries for hire. So when he amasses enough funds he will return to reclaim his birthright. Was thoroughly entertaining and I look forward to the reading more of his adventures in the next book.

Review: For My People: Awacha Nay
For My People: Awacha Nay by Heidi EnnisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
“We are responsible for all things, as they were a gift to us.”
Author Heidi Ennis's historical fiction takes us back in time when the white man had not yet decimated the red man from his homes in the Pacific northeast. This tale takes you through a young chiefs son coming of age with many life lessons that build character to become a leader of his tribe. The story unfolded to weave a tale with our main character receiving visions from a past Chief that helps and confuses the young brave. I laughed and cried with the tribe, plus I found the book immensely entertaining.
I did not win the book on Goodreads but instead was able to read it with my Amazon Unlimited.

Review: Last Tango in Cyberspace
Last Tango in Cyberspace by Steven KotlerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. In this Syfy thriller mystery, we meet Lion Zorn empathy tracker, who in the past was hired by companies to define the next big trend. But when several people wind up dead after doing a new drug, an eccentric pharmaceutical company owner decides to hire Lion Zorn to locate this compound. Good storyline and relatable characters with some memorable events taking place throughout the book.
I look forward to more from this author. Thanks, Goodreads and St. Martins press for a chance to review this book.

Review: The Touch: A Supernatural Story
The Touch: A Supernatural Story by Robert Flynn IIIMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
What an exciting new twist on the who and what is an Angel or a Demon kind of thinking that most people perceive as truth. In this first book, we are introduced to all the main characters who will be playing significant roles in the continuing story. The stage is set for the world to experience what many people are already feeling through just a touch from one of the chosen ones who can make bad people do good things. Who has chosen these individuals? And what will these chosen ones accomplish? I guess I am just going to have to read the next one in the series to find the answers.

Review: The Cursed Coin
The Cursed Coin by Culliver CrantzMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was the first book in the Fright Vision series. I enjoyed reading about this paranormal mystery book for young adults. The story kept me entertained but I was a little disappointed in the ending since it left a red herring I think it is called. The book never really ended since it brought a new mystery that needs to be solved. Guess I will just have to keep reading this series which I will look forward to reading.

Review: Five Steps: from blank page to movie release
Five Steps: from blank page to movie release by Nancy SmithMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Excellent! I took a college course about film making and this book was so much easier to follow than the class assigned book. Loved that you started at the very begining of writing the screenplay. Have been motivated to get my own project going! I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in writing and producing their own movie or just writing that next Steven Speilberg movie this book is for you.

Review: Secret Coven: Dark Journals Book 2
Secret Coven: Dark Journals Book 2 by Stephen SkoblickMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I did not finish the book; it was that bad. The story is based on a coven of a young woman who are similar to sorority sisters who are thinking of breeding with their young male witch to produce pure witches with higher powers. The book felt more like a rough draft than a polished story; lacking was the character development, not much in the way of setting the scenes up for maximum visualization and the dialogue was like I am watching a dull day time soap opera. This might appeal to some readers, but it fell short for me.

Review: The Dark Game
The Dark Game by Jonathan JanzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When a famous author sends invitations to ten contestants in a secluded writing competition that promises the winner untold fame and fortune how can they resisit. At an alarming rate many of the guests get the impression that things are not as kosher as first lead to believe. What happened to the other contestants? Why does the famous author seem to be getting younger as if he is tapping into the fountain of youth each evening? Will anyone make it out alive? This seemed a cross between the Twilight Zone or a Alfred Hitchcocks movie...very intense.

Review: The Little Book of Bad Moods
The Little Book of Bad Moods by Lotta SonninenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I burned it. After I spent sometime going through the pages that ask you to pretty much write about every bad thing that has happened to you and name the names of these individual that might have caused you this pain. Not the kind of book you would leave around for another person to find. While it was good to get somethings out and on paper, it was also troubling and hurtful to reexperience those old wounds again. Somethings are better left buried and forgiven...
