 ***** a 5 star read!

wow! this book was good, but to top it off the author has added twists in the right time just to keep you interested. there is not a cliff hanger in the ending, but the ending will blow your mind like if there was one!


i got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. i am glad that i read this book. i have been on a mystery, thriller kick lately and found this on my kindle waiting its wonderful review!

i have to say i didn't know there was a book before, so i was a little lost at first, but the author gives you just enough information that you wouldn't have to read the first book. if you get the change make sure you do!

jack he is a DA for his town, a wonderful husband, and a father to 2 kids. jack has a past. right when he first got elected to be the town's district attorney he was caught cheating on his wife with his co worker named jenny. jenny is a well known friend of the family so it was heart-breaking when everyone found out about the affair. Jenny right after the affair was arrested and charged with murder. (wow! didn't think that would happen!) jack was her alibi and was dropped of the charges, but since he was her alibi for that night the world found out about the affair. well, 4 years went by and jack hasn't spoken to jenny at all. he did everything he could to make his job better and also his marriage with his wife. things were starting to get better when all of a sudden jenny appears at his wife's college to say that she was in trouble.

jack's son micheal is 16. He has a girlfriend named Celeste. she has her own secrets that you will learn while you read this book. jack woke up early one night because he heard numerous kids downstairs. looking at the clock it was after 1am and knew for a fact there shouldn't be anyone downstairs. trying to figure out what was going on jack found out that his 16 year old son was having sex on his couch. jack make himself known and tells them to get dressed before he comes downstairs. not trying to get mad jack realizes that both his son and his son's girlfriend have been drinking. he told celeste that he is going to take her home and tell her father what she has been up to. celeste freaks out and starts crying saying to jack that he has no idea what will happen to her if he tell her dad. jack thinks that celeste dad is abusing her so he offers to not tell her father. he even pulls over in the car so that she can sober up. this decision will change is life forever.
the very next day police swarm his office, home, and micheals school to investagte a issue that was reported. celeste told police that jack raped her that night when he drove her home. now, jack has to deal with the press again after 4 years of dealing with a mistake, but this time he is innocent. while trying to get himself not sent to prison jenny continues to contact jack and saying that her life is threaten and jack is trying to figure out who is sending jenny these notes. in the long while jenny's ex boyfriend was charged with the murder and is waiting death row.
news reports that he got granted a new trial and police are looking for jenny. jack is hinding her and also trying not to get himself arrested for the second time that month.
will jack be found innocent of this rape charge and be cleared as a good man or will he lose his job and making a decison to help his son and his son's girlfriend ruin him forever.
here is the twist. what will happen with jenny and this threatening letters?

you will have to read and find out. there is a lot going on at one time so you have to keep attention to the book or you will become lost, but it is worth it with all the suspense and twists added in along the way.

this wasn't the book for me. don't get me wrong it was a cute book. it wasn't the mystery that i was looking for. i really don't have much of a review for this book because it is pretty predictable.


this book is about a girl name mini. oh to make it more funny she is only 4 ft 7,! well she has been working at the same bookstore since she was in high school. so now after 6 years she is an assistant manager and is in everybody business. any bit of gossip that could possibly be hears she knows it.

well, her rich boss who owns the books store has a lot of emienies. he owes a lot of people money and has gotten numerous death threats in the past 2 days. then when mini went to open the store he was found stabbed to death.

now she will partner up with a cop because she wont give up the fact about she knows who killed her boss. a lot of people said this book was funny and cute. i didn't find anything funny in the book. mini to me was found annoying and way to busy body in everyones business. you will know the ending before you even finish the book

this was such a great book. it almost hit home. i didn't have a very good life growing up and had to deal with the same situations. except i at least had a twin to help me through all the hard times, and also a lot of family members.


this book is about a 13 year old boy named casey. his parents are divorced and his mom and sister moved to maine. he was told by his mother that his job was to take care of his father. which he did. he rushed home from school every day to pick up empty beer bottles, do dishes, the laundry, and make sure everything is perfect for when his dad came out. he would make up excuses to his best friend oscar why he couldn't come over any more, but he couldn't understand why.

casey dad is a drunk. he would come home every day with a 12 pack of beer and start to cook supper. he then would wonder in the basement and do drugs and burn the supper. that was until casey started to cook. he made breakfast in the morning. that was until his aunt called him. his aunt wanted him to have an intervention for his father. he would have to write a letter and explain all the things that he was tired and wanted his dad to change. his dad then would go to rehab and that would be the end of that

casey didn't know what to do. he thought everything would be fine. that was until situations started to happen and casey got mad. he finally told his dad how he felt. his dad left. now alone and don't know what to do. casey will have to deal with all these issues alone?

i got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

ok, this book totally sucked, but not enough for it to be less stars. if i would have known that this book would be all about devil worship and with all the true facts like a non fiction book, i would have never read it. not saying that i wouldn't read a nonfiction book on religion. its just i thought this book would be about a girl who dated an asshole. lol


this book is about a girl named ronnie aka veronica but never wants to be called that so she goes by ronnie. very weird, and it takes a while before you even realize that is what her name is. so for about 20% of the book i was like wtf! till then i was like ohhhh. well, she is a writer. she freelances herself between a couple magazines. she has a roommate that is her best friend named nancy. she is dating a lawyer named bob. they are ronnie's only family and best friends. oh i forgot to mention that ronnie was dating a fat chef. he finally made it big and left her because they were going in different directions. he did this by phone and they were dating over 19 months! so you have to understand why i thought this book was like how i wanted it to be.

ronnie was in the middle of a interview for the vanity fair magazine when her model that she was interviewing said that she dated a sadist man. he went to a church a couple blocks away. ronnie then called the editor and they wanted her to do a piece on it. so, she went to the church and interviewed the man. mr. cummings was a good man and answered all her questions and even asked her to dinner. she politely refused and the magazine people loved her piece.

since her big article got published she was receiving threats like a dead black cat, a skull, a picture of her with her head chopped off, and lastly someone threw a couple black cats at her. she called the police but they said there was no proof of anything and that they would keep an eye out for her.
well in the meanwhile she interviewed a man about the sadist community because he wrote a book about it. richard was his name and she thought he was sexy. they ended up going to dinner and having amazing sex. he left her for weeks or months at a time because he gives lectures about satan. she got her a book offer to write a book about daemon taking over your body. she decided she will give it a go.

well that is pretty much the book except she started to have nightmares and she would do things that she wouldn't remember. mr. cummings ended up murdered and she was the last person seen with him. she doesn't remember. her friends like her boyfriend is bad news because of how he acts. ronnie decided to start researching about what was going on with her. she would black out and not know what was going on. her therapist said she needed to end the book and the boyfriend because they are bringing back old traumatic issues. after talking to another girl with similar issues from a mental ward, she found her her boyfriend is the devil and that she needed an exorcism.

to kill a warlock

 





 ***** a 5 star read!


I really did enjoy this book, but there was also parts in this book that I didn't like. i love that there was romance, back stabbing, and a lot of laughs. i also like that there was a bunch of different paranormal creatures not just the typical vamp and werewolf.

Dulcie, our heroine, is a fairy. GASP! i was super excited about this! But no matter what I thought or what you will think I assure you she is not a typical fairy. She works for the Association of Netherworld Creatures (ANC), which enforces polices that are created for netherworld. creatures who live among humans. She also has a side job/hobby. She is writing a book and dreams of being published. *gasps* Really, yup. I like reading the scenes of this book. LOL Dulcie is a hardcore, smart, funny, and entertaining fairy, with some magical gifts, who is determined to be the best Regulator in the area. What is not to love?

Even though Dulcie is female who has mastered the art of kick a$$ she went through a bad relationship and like most of us she came out with a few scars. Although, her broken heart makes the romance interesting it evokes a small self confidence issue, concerning her ears. Fairies should have cute pointed ears, but she does not think so. Quillan and Knight *be still my beating heart* were a great touch to a triangle romance that has you doing the which one dance within your head.

Dulcie teams up with Knight off the record, but of course. You only want to work with a steamy pile of hot bad boy man flesh when no one knows about it. Knight is a Relations Officer from the Netherworld. Together, the two heat the pages up as they take on a mystery concerning the murder of a magical Warlock who is known for selling illegal potions. Illegal drugs, illegal potions... *tsk tsk tsk* It just so happens that Dulcie is the last person to see him alive. What? Now she sets out on this captivating mission, the bodies pile up and she is in a race to find the killer before the killer finds her first. *dom dom dom* It is a great race against time. The ending is a bit rushed but I really enjoyed this book and i am looking forward to bumping the second book on my to read list!
since this book is free on smashwords i think everyone should at least give this book a go!

screwed

 ***** 5 star read

i got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. i honestly can't believe the low ratings!!! this book is amazing and it is told almost like a true story. now, being a teen mom myself i know exactly how grace felt. even though i raised my child, but i went thru everything that she was talking about.
grace was perfect. she had a 4.0 was in all the ap classes and her parents who a lawyer and estate agent. her parents were also the head members of the pro life group and save yourself till marriage. no one would ever suspect that grace would do anything bad. but all that can change with one bad decision.

grace was tired of being the good girl. she went on a couple dates with the all american boy at school. nick was the captain of the soccer team and the lacrosse team. he could have any girl that he wanted, but he seemed to want grace. after that 3rd date they ended up having sex in the back of his jeep. now staring at the 7 pregnacy tests in the bathroom grace had to come to the conclusion that even though she used a condom, her life is over.

grace had a best friend named jennifer. jennifer had a bad sense of humor and made a joke of everything. grace told her about her new found problem and jennifer said she should just get an abortion before her family found out and act like nothing happened. grace liked that idea except that she didn't have 500 dollars laying around. jennifer convinced her to talk to nick and tell him he needed to take care of the problem because she didn't do this to herself.
well, nick was found at the lake with another girl. no surprise there! he was smoking weed and had no intentions of talking to grace again. he wanted to break his record of sleeping with over 21 girls before we went to college. and this girl amy, was just that type. grace told nick that they were having a baby. he said it wasn't his and that it wasn't his problem.
well, thinking grace didn't have any choice she finally broke down and told her parents. her dad refused to talk to her. being strict christians how dare grace do that to their family. her dad kept calling her a whore and that their mother better take care of this problem because he was done. her mother had nothing to say except that she knew who the father of her child was. now a couple weeks had past and her parents have said nothing to her or even acted like she was there until one morning her mother woke her up at 4am. they took off in the care and grace thought she was getting dumped at a shelter.
graces mom went to a different state for her to have an abortion. grace told the doctor it must be a mistake because her family does not believe in such things. the doctor confirmed it with graces mother and then told grace that it was her choice and that she had to live with her decison for the rest of her life. so grace did want anyone would do. she decided to keep the baby. with her head down she told her mother that she was keeping the baby. her mothers was furious. she called her husband and said that grace refused the abortion and was keeping the baby.
when they showed back up at home all of grace's clothes were on the porch. her had told her that he couldn't have a whore living at home to ruin their reputation. that she made her mess and had to figure things out for herself. she didn't know what to do. her best friend was away for the weekend with her family and she had no one to call. grace decided she was going to sleep in their shed.
there nosy neighbor hellan over heard the argument and woke grace up. she offered her to go to her house because it was a safe place. now grace didn't know what to do she was scared and now her parents were on the porch threatening to have hellan arrested even though they kicked out their own child. grace did decided to go with hellan. her house was a mansion. she was a wealthy lady with no children and loved helping people. helen treated grace like one of the family.
grace decided that she was going to place her baby up for adoption. now here comes the fun part. she had to decided what kind of adoption she was going to have and also what kind of parents she was going to choose for her child. then she also has the problem of getting nick to sign his rights away because he refuses to acknowledge the problem. lastly, grace gets introduced to hell and nephew charlie. who is handsome and is head over heels in love with her.
with all these problems going on she didn't even think about her senior year has started. now she is the smart innocent girl who is now carrying a baby. she didn't realize how judgemental high school girls can be once her knew secret it out. and they all want to know who her baby daddy is. all her friends she thought were friends are now gone so she feels alone more than ever. thank god for jennifer!
can grace decided what is best for her baby? will she keep the baby in the end? will she make up with her family? or will she fall for another gorgeous guy and make another mistake? and finally will she get into college now that she is in a new situation?

2 stars **

ok this book makes me very angry. it is states, "if you like 50 shades you will love this book" ok, this book is a copy of it. yea there is a little difference but not by much. the names are different yes. the girl makes the same deal for money and the man has a different name and also owns a big company and everything else..blah blah blah

the only thing that is different is that this girl "nikki" cuts herself and still lives with a girlfriend who is protective. the man has is own secrets.. which you will find out is similar to 50 but with a man and not a woman

they come across the same drama issues that is not even worth talking about. the whole time i read this book i felt like i have already read it. i was super disappointed and wished authors wouldn't try to connect the same ideas to books and put their own ideas in there to make them similar but better

i got this book from the publish in exchange for an honest review, and i am sorry that i couldn't put anything else in here but to me this is a copy issue, but since names and ideas were barley changed i know it clearly isn't

Amanda then was beaten, raped, and made to take numerous drugs. she was held captive by the Mexican drug ring. they loved her because she was pretty and could get a lot of use out of her.

Steve and his wife Diane went looking for Amanda. since it wasn't uncommon her for to go missing for days none of Amanda's friend cared and told them they didn't know where she was and that she would return. this went on for days. now Steve and Diane were fighting, stressed out, and knew in there hearts something was wrong. Steve kept calling Amanda's cell phone hoping she would answer. when a Mexican answered her phone and yelled at him stating that she was with him now he knew something was wrong. Steve kept going day by day to Mexico and placed missing child posters up hoping someone would help;. Steve got his friend mike involved with looking her his daughter. they both started to hand out money to see if that would make people talk
