<span class="elementTwo" id="freeText17045270340861364389"><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>When “crazy” runs in your family and your namesake is known for walking into a river with a pocket full of rocks, a girl kind of wants to avoid tempting fate at all costs. For Virginia Nichols, the only way to dodge that bullet is to be perfect at everything: school, student council, life. Too bad it’s all a lie, and underneath the perfection...Virginia is lost. <br /><br />Ryder Blackstock knows a thing or two about being born into fate. The talents passed down from his father aren't exactly normal; instead of learning how to throw a fastball, he was taught to hot-wire a car like a pro and pick any pocket in sight. He’s got criminal blood, just like his old man. And as soon as he turns eighteen, he’ll be living life on the run with his dad.<br /><br />When Ryder and Virginia meet on the beach, it seems they couldn't be more different. Soon they discover they’re both trapped in their lives—Virginia denying her fate, Ryder embracing his. Like the rocks in Virginia Woolf’s pockets, the weight of their destinies will pull them under. But being together brings out pieces of themselves they didn't know existed—pieces that make them want to take fate into their own hands and rewrite their destinies...if it’s not too late.</strong></em></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all.... HAPPY RELEASE DAY to a fantastic book- The Weight of Destiny, by Nyrae Dawn. Read my review and click on that Amazon link at the bottom to purchase.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="elementTwo"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="elementTwo"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">There once was this book, and it consumed me for two whole days. It stayed in my thoughts much longer.</span><br /><br />In The Weight of Destiny by Nyrae Dawn, the reader is thrown into the mindset of two teens. In this dual POV novel you have a guy and a girl from opposite sides of the track. Tame meets reckless, and the reader will see them mature and discover themselves, each other, and accept their pasts. It wasn't easy. At all. Happenstance brings them together and they discover they have some commonalities. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="elementTwo"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="elementTwo"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">Different is the new perfect</span>. <span style="color: red;">Yes, it is</span>.<br /><br /> Ryder is your bad boy you love, <span style="color: red;">to love</span>. His emotions are erratic. One minute, you want to smack him with your hand. The other, you want to smack him with your lips. He is deprived of role modeled parents and partakes in illegal activities, preparing himself for the day his dad comes back. He has guidance, if he'd just follow it instead of rebel. He just has the wrong kind of hope and it leads him in the wrong directions. He needs to be nurtured. He needs an unexpected encounter.<br /><br /> Virginia is a good girl- <span style="color: red;">who needs to cut loose</span>. <em>Hey girl, bad boys can help with that.</em> Although, I gotta give the girl props for standing her ground when needed. She is wise. But, she needs realization. Living behind a facade to ignore reality only works for so long. And sometimes, <span style="color: red;">rules and plans are made to be broken</span>. (Wink, wink)<br /><br /> The two MC's had their insinuations about each other. It was interesting to have them discover that they weren't so different after all. I loved the distraction between these two-- their connection strived because of it.</span></span></span></span><span class="elementTwo"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br /> <span style="color: #45818e;"><strong><em>"Staring at his eyes for the first time in daylight, I can see they’re totally different colors. One is blue, and the other is half-blue and half-brown. My resistance starts to weaken. His eyes look deep, as though there are more layers than he’s showing."</em></strong></span> ~Virginia<br /><br /> <strong><em><span style="color: #45818e;">"I feel all upside down and backward with her. It’s easier to use my mouth on her sometimes rather than trying to figure out what to say, or how to say it."</span></em></strong> ~ Ryder<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The interaction between these young adults gave me a sweet buzz. They were irresistible, but they tried to be resistible. It was so enduring on how they made each other feel.</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As in all of Nyrae Dawn's novels, there is plenty of emotion. The reader is in unison with Ryder and Virginia because the reader experiences every emotion spelled out.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="elementTwo"><span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: black;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I gotta give props to my girl Nyrae. She's like the queen of senses in writing. I mean, really! It's mental. It's physical. It's being. You see her words. They touch you. You feel them. You hear them. Heck-- if you close your eyes, you can taste and smell them. YOU ARE THE WORDS. It's amazing.<br /><br />The message behind her stories are so inspirational and the romance is heart warming. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I got out of The Weight of Destiny, is to always give someone a chance. It doesn't matter where they come from, or how bad or good their past may be. Chances are, while you may be different from them, you could have something in common with them. And that commonality could lead to friendship, or even better- it could lead to love.</span></div>

Slowly. They rake over me, dropping from my eyes to my glossed lips down to my exposed shoulders. Taking his time, he follows the neckline of my simple, yet body contouring sundress, lingering when he reaches my full breasts. I’m sufficiently covered, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t aware that the dress showed off my assets well. Tight around my chest, gathering snuggly at the waist, with a scant amount of cleavage. Just enough coverage to still leave something for him to imagine. And I watch his face change as his imagination takes off running.</span></div>

Momentarily he’s lost in what he sees and doesn’t even notice I’m watching him leer. Totally worth the extra effort getting ready tonight, I couldn’t be happier at the reaction I get. Eventually, his eyes make their way back up to mine and I arch one eyebrow, letting him know he’s been caught. A normal reaction might be to look embarrassed or perhaps even flustered a little. But not Zack. Instead, he flashes me a wicked grin. “You look incredible.” He’s the one doing the leering, yet I’m the one who ends up blushing.</span></div>

She believes her job as a trial attorney is a subcategory to the field of entertainment more than law. With a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature she believed teaching English was a destined career choice until she realized her life long talent of "argument" could actually be her job. A recent, fairly boring, midlife crisis resulted in a brief stint as a middle school English teacher which confirmed that she wasn't ready to give up the law. Dylan has also taught legal courses at the college level and worked with at-risk inner city youth in the roles of mentor and coach. She is co-author Vi Keeland's biggest fan.</span></div>

She believes her job as a trial attorney is a subcategory to the field of entertainment more than law. With a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature she believed teaching English was a destined career choice until she realized her life long talent of "argument" could actually be her job. A recent, fairly boring, midlife crisis resulted in a brief stint as a middle school English teacher which confirmed that she wasn't ready to give up the law. Dylan has also taught legal courses at the college level and worked with at-risk inner city youth in the roles of mentor and coach. She is co-author Vi Keeland's biggest fan.</span></div>

I never knew the sentiment was reciprocal. Until I met Jax Knight. A gentleman in public, a commanding, dirty talking rogue in the bedroom.</span></div>

As the owner of a chain of MMA gyms, she’s no stranger to aggressive, dominating, and possessive men. That’s why she’s always kept her distance. But the day Jax Knight walks through her door she’s captivated by his charm. Stunningly handsome, well mannered, Ivy League educated, and confident, he shatters all the preconceived notions she’d come to think were true about men who trained to fight.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As usual, Vi Keeland has suceeded in producing a captivating couple with a whole lot of problems and a whole lot of spark. Jax is your typical, pretty boy businessman during the day. Working the investment angle, talking formally, and being the all-around gentleman a senators son is expected to be. But his passion for the fight is intoxicating and Keeland had developed a character the melds gentleman and fighter into the perfect man.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You certainly won't want to put this book down once you begin, because the chemistry between Jax and Lily is on fire. As the daughter of an MMA fighter, Lily grew up in the gym she's running. The gym Jax is not fully invested in emotionally and for his buyer. Once these two get alone, let the fight begin. A fight full of passion, love and heartache.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Warning, this book has physical violence in and out of ring, in addition to a piece of crap senator and an ex. This is a book about MMA and love so expect violence, passion and a lot of language. YOu will fully enjoy watching this couple battle their way through the past and present, and ultimately, ending up in the ring.</span></div>

I never knew the sentiment was reciprocal. Until I met Jax Knight. A gentleman in public, a commanding, dirty talking rogue in the bedroom.</span></div>

As the owner of a chain of MMA gyms, she’s no stranger to aggressive, dominating, and possessive men. That’s why she’s always kept her distance. But the day Jax Knight walks through her door she’s captivated by his charm. Stunningly handsome, well mannered, Ivy League educated, and confident, he shatters all the preconceived notions she’d come to think were true about men who trained to fight.</span></div>

And definitely not something her ex plans to allow.</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My face pinks when the waiter clears his throat, no doubt he’d heard Jax’s last comment. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Are you ready to hear the specials?” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Are we?” Jax arches an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with delight. He’s not the slight bit embarrassed, but knows I am and is quite enjoying himself.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Yes. Please.” I give him the evil eye and force my full attention back to the waiter. The entire time the waiter talks about the specials I feel Jax’s eyes burning into me. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’ll give you a moment to let you decide.” Graciously, the waiter excuses himself.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Why did you do that?” I scold, my voice low.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Do what?” He leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his thick chest.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Do I?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You enjoy watching me flustered, don’t you?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jax arches both eyebrows. Bad choice of words.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You know what I mean.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leaning in, his voice gritty and sexy, he looks me straight in the eyes when he speaks. “I love watching you. Period. But what I like best is watching you pretend you’re unaffected. It’s like an unspoken challenge.” He pauses and leans in even closer. “I love the pink that creeps up your cheeks when I say something dirty. The way your pussy throbs when I mention what I’m going to do to you later, and you wiggle in your seat trying to control it. So yeah, I guess I do like watching you flustered. You sit and give your attention to the waiter, trying to pretend you’re listening to whatever he’s saying instead of thinking of me feeding you my cock later, but we both know you didn’t hear one word he said. Hell I didn’t hear one word watching you, just knowing what you were thinking about.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This time, I see the waiter before he’s close enough to hear us. He smiles as he reaches our table. “So what can I get for you this evening? Did I interest you in one of our specials?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I look at the waiter, then Jax, who arches an eyebrow with a knowing smirk on his face, then back to the waiter. “The specials all sounded delicious. I just can’t decide for myself. I’m going to defer to my date to pick one for me.” I return my eyes to Jax with a cheeky grin. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2227272727272727; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 8pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 19px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He throws his head back with a chuckle and looks at the poor confused waiter. “We’ll take whatever two are your favorites. Surprise us.”</span></div>

avid reader, you know that every good protagonist has his or her own personal
four legged best friend (or perhaps
winged). For Grace, there isn't just one- but many! The animals in her life
play a huge role in the adventures that she comes across, and without them she
wouldn't be the fiery teen wilderness explorer she is! So in order to better
understand Grace's world, let's take a dive into the animals that fill her life
with meaning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and animal companion. With his adorable white bow tie, he's easy to spot and
love! When they were both young, Grace and Simon played together, explored
together, and even slept cuddled up next to each other. It's no wonder she
recognized him in the woods that day-he's a pretty hard bear to miss! Without
Simon's love and bear hugs, Grace may never have developed the true love for
bears she has today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

important job to do. He protects his owner while he's on duty, and sniffs out
any signs of danger in the woods. But when he's off the clock, Bear is a happy
go-lucky player, and loves to play fetch
with Grace and her dad! As the family dog and a USFWS trained canine, Bear
leads an extremely busy life- but he wouldn't have it any other way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

character. Being an African Grey Parrot, Petey has the brain capacity of chimps
and small children- not to mention an almost 800 word vocabulary! So whenever
Birdee comes into town, Grace knows that her best bid friend will always be on
her shoulder. Without Petey looking out, a lot of things may slip past Grace's
grandmother; but with Petey, the two make the perfect team to help watch over
Grace while she's fighting bad guys! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

though Grace never comes into close contact with Bandit, she does study him
throughout the extent of her work with the Red Wolf Rescue Project. As she
watches him, she realizes just how close he is to his family and how hard it is
for him to survive as an endangered species- this pushes her through her
mission of saving the wolves and stopping whoever is against them. So, while
Bandit is not an up close and personal animal companion, he did teach Grace
some important lessons about survival, family, and hope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She and Birdee spend time rehabilitating the animal. But when the panther runs off, Grace follows it to Uncle Bob's, a large roadside zoo they all have been protesting. One that is illegally filled with a variety of endangered and exotic animals. Before she can rescue the panther, she and her friends are kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Only this time, Grace is the prey. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">During a sick game of cat and mouse, Grace and her friends are offered one chance at survival, but only if they reach civilization before being caught.

<b>Review:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so excited to share the 3rd installment of <i>THE ISLAND</i> trilogy with you all! I have really enjoyed this novella series, and <i>The Deep</i> was even better because it's actually a full novel. Leia and Walt finally travel to the world across the water, and what they find is both surprising and a little terrifying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just like the other 2 books in this series, <i>The Deep</i> is a wonderful, captivating read that will have you glued to the pages.With the story told from alternating perspectives, the reader gets to see what's happening both in Cornwall <i>and </i>in Tresco at the same time. A new narrator is introduced and we finally get a much closer glimpse into some extremely interesting characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I highly recommend <i>The Deep </i>and the entire <i>The Island</i> series. It's a clean read and will hold your attention so much that you won't be able to put it down. Haven't read the first 2 books?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Standing amidst a
pile of cardboard boxes, most of them open and partly disembowelled, Harry was
waggling a phone at me urgently; when I flipped off the music, he smiled.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“The Orc Quarter
is on fire, love,” he informed me. “The fire chief like you to pop over and
take a peek.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I felt my brow
knit. “I’m sorry, the what?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“The Orc Quarter
in Schenectady.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Schenectady,” I
said, seeking clarification, “New York...”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Just the place,
yes.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> “Has an <i>Orc
Q</i>uarter?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Well, I assume
they must have, ducky, if the Schenectady Fire Department is ringing you up to
attend to it,” he chided and then tried to hand me the phone. When I scowled at
it, he clucked his tongue.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“There are two
preternatural biology labs in Manhattan, and a branch of Gold-Drake &
Cross,” I said. “Why do they want me?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“One wonders,” he
agreed. “Shall I inquire?” I rolled my eyes; Harry mistook this as a request,
and spoke into the phone. “Might one inquire as to why you are requesting the
presence of Ms. Baranuik of all people?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I sighed and
downed the rest of my espresso, wishing there was more; I had a feeling I was
going to need it.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Harry relayed,
“The fire chief says the Schenectady police have one resident in custody and he
is refusing to talk to anyone but the Litenvecht Späckkenhuggar.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I waited for the
rest of it. When there wasn’t any more, I prompted, “And?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Apparently,
ducky, that would be you.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m the
Licken-Vicken Spackle-Hugger?” I pointed at my chest with a gloved finger. “I
am?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Quite so.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“What the hell is
a Lite-Brite Spunk-Shucker?”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> “Since the
Orc language is a largely borrowed tongue, and Orcs originated in the area now
known as Sweden, I’m going to translate the phrase roughly as either ‘small killer
whale’ or ‘little Orc killer.’”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">My jaw dropped.
“But I’m <i>not</i> the little Orc killer.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“This I know.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’ve never even
seen an Orc outside of blurry videos and a preserved foetus in an UnBio lab
library.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">“This does not
surprise me in the least. Nevertheless, the fire chief would like you on site
as soon as possible, and when you’re done with that, the Schenectady police
have an Orc in custody with whom you should speak.” When I did not take the
phone from his outstretched hand, he noted, “My heavens, but your
entrepreneurial spirit certainly does leave much to be desired.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was tempted to
answer the phone with “how did you get this number?” but I figured that might
not be good customer service. Instead, I listened for sounds of drooling or
panting or chewing on the other end, and when I heard no such monster noises, I
cleared my throat.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif; font-size: 12pt;">"Hi, there! I'm the

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Are you like me? Do you like to picture who would play the characters your're reading about in a book?

So, who does this amazing (yet freakishly strange at times) writer picture playing her characters? Read on to find out!</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Trust me, if this book was going to be a movie, AJ has picked the perfect cast! She did mention that Jason Statham was selected as Agent Mark Batten (and I quote) "on account of his resting jerk face." Also, she think's Agent Gary Chapel has more hair than Mitch Pileggi, but he's got the overall look going for him. If you haven't read the book yet, I can't wait for you to meet Combat Butler and Constable Shenck. Keep reading for my review!</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Broadway;">REVIEW:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif";">Oh
yea! She’s done it again! AJ Aalto has written a sparkling yet freakish tale of
ghosts, poltergeists, and a creepy priest with ghost-sniffing dogs. (Weird
right?) But sticking to tradition, Marnie has gotten herself into some hot
doodie! And this time, she’s in Canada. Yep, after a little trouble back home,
Marnie decides to head “home” to help solve a case.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif";">As
usual, she’s full of wit and sarcasm and well… trouble. But we get a glimpse at
a different side of Marnie as well. She has some serious moments, and I think
she might actually be growing up. Ok, that might be going a little far, but she
is seriously starting to consider some options. I mean, this time she’s in over
her head, but that’s not about to stop her. She takes names (literally,
although it takes some time to figure out who’s name’s she’s taking), kicks
some butt, well really it’s invisible butt, but… That’s a lot of buts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif";">Ok, ok…
seriously, there is something that is so spectacular about this book that makes
it completely stand out from all of the other adventures Marnie has tackled.
What it is you ask? IT’S ME! No really. I’m in this book. It’s pretty freakin’
cool if I do say so myself. Ok, so that might not be that interesting to you,
but (there’s another one!) I promise as I read I told my husband, “There’s my
name! Oh… there it is again. And…” You get the idea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif";">Anyway,
in short, this is of course another CAN’T MISS read. I think readers will
really begin to see a different side of Marnie and another character favorite
of mine: Agent Mark Batten (aka Kill-Notch). Yep, we learn a little more about
him too. And of course there’s Harry (and now I’m picturing Jude Law speaking
non-sense and backing brownies). So get ready! Because you’ll want to grab <i>Last Impressions</i> as soon as it hits the

She loves the lake she was raised on, their rental cabins, and spending her nights under the stars…but inside she yearns for more.<br /><br />After his freshman year, Nathaniel Chase’s family spends their first summer at The Village. From the beginning Charlotte intrigues him. She’s the girl who always says what’s on her mind, wins at night games, and each time she looks through her telescope, gets lost in the sky.<br /><br />Over the course of four summers together, Charlotte and Nathaniel become best friends, share firsts, mend broken hearts, protect each other’s secrets, overcome tragedies…fall in love. And say goodbye…<br /><br />Charlie wants out of The Village. Nate wants her to have her stars. And they dream of being able to do it all together. But life isn’t as easy as their summers.<br /><br />Each summer is told in alternating points of view between Charlie and Nate. Journey with the pair, and their friends, as they share their story about growing up, discovering who they are, making tough choices, and falling in love again and again.</em></strong></span><a class="actionLinkLite" href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17666999-four-summers#"></a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wow!! The cover art for 4 Summers, by <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn</a> is
gorgeous. It's so picturesque. The cover alone made me think that the story held
a span of memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The premise behind this story was awesome. It covered a duration
of 4 summers. It flowed beautifully and was amazing to mentally picture these
characters and watch their story, develop. My heart fluttered in awe as I read
this gentle, young adult present-day love story.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To be in my teens again, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">*sighs*</i></b>. And to have a
summer boy, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">*dreams*</i></b>. I get all giddy just thinking about Nathanial.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From Chapter Two, I knew that 4 Summers would be my most
favorite Nyrae Dawn YA book to date. I lived in this story. I was every word
written. I became so emotionally attached to the characters. I shared their
pain, their gain, their need, their fear, their confusion, their crave, their
loss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Charlie Ray was a character I instantly connected with and I
adored her voice. Her reactions and struggles were right on and I loved how she
wanted more; something everyone relates to, but she remained herself through
that want. She was a devoted daughter and a loyal friend. She managed that
attribute very well. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">She thought her destiny was figured out, not to her
advantage. But the stars led her in the right direction. It was incredible to
witness her breaking free from her insecurities and watch her mature.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The friendship behind this story captivated me as much as the romance. Charlie Rae had two wonderful guys in her life, two
wonderful friendships. One just led to “more.” More of what Charlie Ray longed
for. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Everyone should have a friend like Alec. He was so upbeat
and loyal to Charlie Ray. Well, mostly. They both supported each other and
that's what real friends do, No.Matter.What. And Charlie Ray proved that. Alec
was very possessive of Charlie Ray and it made me swoon.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I heart me some Alec, but there's that summer boy, Nathanial.
Made me all want to be in the middle of a Nathalec Sammich. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nathanial’s sarcasm made me giggle. His regrets made me sad.
He took it slow with Charlie Ray, much respect to him for that. I admired him for
the way he made Charlie Ray feel, even though I wanted to break his neck at
times—boys! She intrigued him and he charmed her.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Each time Charlie Rae and Nate had to part, it wrenched me,
but there's always next summer, right? And that left me with anticipation. And
I constantly wondered where in the heck things stood with Alec?? Oh, but we find out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is amazing when you have two characters that have so much
need for each other. To see them evolve, to see their relationship progressing,
it was all so emotional. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Things happened, friendship was tested, secrets were kept,
secrets were revealed, sadness incured, happiness was gained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a struggle for all to get their happiness-- and there
is a spinoff of 4 Summers (<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18269671-rush?from_search=true">RUSH</a>) that I'm itching to read. I know it will be
full of obstacles just as 4 Summers.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks Nyrae for writing such heartwarming stories. Every
one of Dawn’s books I’ve read thus far, are inspiring and I have so much admiration
for them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

not throwing a drama king fit, and he never points out my faults and blunders,
except that yes he does, he always does, and if he wore underpants, I’d give
him the wedgie of a lifetime. I
understand maybe half of what comes out of his mouth; the rest sounds like
“blabbity blabbity blah blah England!” I like to imagine he’s saying, “darling,
you are as clever as you are beautiful,” which is probably right, but not in a
good way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Any man whose job is to bring me comfort and cookies is gonna be pretty high on
my We Like This Guy list. Also, I’m pretty sure he’s a ninja. Everyone should
have a Combat Butler. However, overall, I’d have to say that my life is most
enriched by my boss, Gary Chapel. He’s a tolerant dude, and though I have no
idea why, he believes in me. When everyone else is rolling their eyes or
yelling at me, he’s got my back and he’s handing me a gun. Weird, right? Maybe
he was dropped on his head as a child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

would love to have a Combat Butler! He would come in handy for all those

while working with the Preternatural Crimes Unit. I learned not to take tea
from strangers. I learned never to go to a party dressed like a squirrel unless
you’re sure you can handle the nuts. (FYI: I can’t.) Don’t offer to feed an ancient revenant with
your mouth unless you want your tongue nearly torn out. Maybe don’t offer to
feed an ancient revenant <i>at all</i>, even
if you’re about to become a demon’s hand-puppet. Check your pockets for
eyeballs before going to funerals. Very important! If you’re checking on your
neighbor during a zombie plague outbreak, don’t sneak over in little more than
a raincoat, or you may find yourself fighting zombie Labradoodles in your
underpants. Also, diet soda may kill certain monsters if they’re already
anointed with every herb in your arsenal, so if you’re not quite mundane
yourself, you might want to switch back to regular. I’ve learned that I can
shoot really well, and I have incredible natural aim, but this means nothing,
because the zombie head-shot rule is apparently bullpuckey. I learned that I
don’t know nearly enough about boggles, especially Stonecoats. I will be going
back to school and taking a class or two on the larger weirdlings. I guess
that’s what I’ve learned from all my cases: I don’t know nearly enough about
monsters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to talk to ghosts though. (smirks) Ok, moving on. I have to ask this question.
What is <i>really</i> going on with you and
Kill-Not--- I mean, Agent Batten? I’ve kinda got my eye on him and ya know, if

sure, he could crush rocks flexing those
biceps, and he’s got a wolfish grin that lets a woman know she’s in for the
romp of a lifetime, but, I say, “HA!” Nobody needs that. *uncomfortable
wriggle* <i>Nobody</i> needs that. Also, he’s
a big doody head, so by all means, have at him! The last thing I need is *ahem*
any further contact with said gentleman in an unclothed or otherwise naked
fashion. You go right ahead, missy, and enjoy… Wait just a second… *squints at
Britney Wyatt* Aren’t you dead? Aren’t you the reason I’m not a blonde anymore?
Oh good! I’m being interviewed by ghosts, now. *head/desk* My life is too

personally like your new rockin’ look, and I’m getting some mixed vibes in
relation to Batten, so maybe I’ll just haunt around him for a while. Get little
glimpse. (giggles) So, I’ve read Last Impressions, and let’s face it, I’m a
little more involved with this book than just reading. Let’s say I have a
personal connection to this fine story. But you go girl! You kick ass! (Which I
totally appreciate by the way because that polte… uh, nevermind.) This book has
a bit of a different feel to it. Is your lifestyle starting to wear on you? You

myself that I was never going to work with cops, monsters, or the FBI ever
again. I was so looking forward to holing up like a hermit with my cookies and
my revenant and having a nice, peaceful life. And then the ghouls happened. And
the demons. And the zombie plague that damn near got out of hand. And then I
nearly got crunched by a Stonecoat boggle. And I helped track down a stalker
who was also a serial killer. I am absolutely worn out. I’m losing my edge, if
I ever had one to begin with. Time for what I call “sharpening the saw.” I need
to hole up like a hermit again, take on fewer cases, maybe none at all. I can
do that, right? I keep trying to quit, but no one listens. Harry was thinking
of going on a Baltic cruise. I’m not exactly sure how that would work with his
issues with daylight, but it sure sounds good to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

right now, where would you go and what would you do? (Not who Marnie! Where!)

tell Harry! Or Chapel!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

detective agency. Maybe I’d only take easy cases, like, “Dear Marnie: is my
wife cheating on me?” “Yes! But hey, she’s really super happy, and why would you
wanna mess with that? Happy wife, happy life. You should pork your busty
secretary and also be happy. That’ll be eight hundred dollars and a pack of
Oreos, please.” That’s terrible advice. But the job sounds right up my alley,
right? And probably I wouldn’t get punched, bitten, or roofied as much as I do
now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pretty much like this *swirls finger at face* for the next decade at least. <b>(Britney
rolls her eyes.) </b>And as luck would have it, Chapel and Batten are an
unshakeable force in my life. Soooo, I’ll probably be parking my ass right

<span id="freeText1010198958917822496"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">A companion novel to WHAT A BOY WANTS.<br /><br />Jaden Sinclair knows he'll never amount to anything...so why would he deserve a girl like Priscilla Mendoza? <br /><br />Since last summer, things have been screwed up between Jaden and Pris. He knows it's his fault, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to go a few rounds with her new boyfriend. He also knows he’s the loser his dad calls him, but it doesn’t stop him from wanting her.<br /><br />After getting a huge bomb dropped on him, Jaden lashes out and lands himself in jail. Everything in his chaotic life is turned upside down and to make it worse, his mom kicks him out in order to side with his dad. Yeah, he’s totally a prize for a girl like Pris. <br /><br />Sebastian, Aspen, and Pris are all going places in their lives...and he knows he can't keep tagging along for the ride.<br /><br />The group has one last chance for The Epic Adventure they've been looking for: a road trip to New York, where Jaden's friends will be going to college. Unfortunately, the more time Jaden hangs around Pris, the harder it is to keep the carefully constructed walls between them so she doesn't find out what a train wreck he really is. <br /><br />When the trip ends, Jaden has to decide if he's ready to say goodbye to his friends, and the girl he loves. He knows what he needs, but will he be man enough to go for it?</span></em></span><br />

<br />
Sebastian!! Oh how I've missed you, you quirky boy!!<br />
<br />
Reality slap!!! <em>SMACK!</em> This isn't about Bastian, although he's a supporting character-- woo hoo! You'll have to revert back to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13561963-what-a-boy-wants?from_search=true">What A Boy Wants</a> for his story. You can see my review for What A Boy Wants by clicking <a href="http://living-fictitiously.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-what-boy-wants-by-nyrae-dawm.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
What A Boy Needs, by <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn</a> is about Jaden, Sebastian's best friend, and how he's damn near too late and just about lost his love date.<br />
He had his chance. But now, the dude's hanging on as an odd wheel. And trying to hold on... to himself. Oh how I flipping loved the interaction between Jaden and Bastian. <br />
<br />
Jaden was full of the funnies. Dude could crack some jokes. He was such a cocky fella and I lurved it!! What makes him more special was his sentiment, something I was surprised he had since he didn't get it from his parents. I wanted to jam my fist to his "so called" dad's throat and paralyze his vocal cards. Angry, much? Yes. But, as far as that goes, in the end, I was so happy Jaden found what he was looking for in that aspect.<br />
<br />
So, between the "not so cool" home life and the girl/friend that got away, Jaden is crushed on the inside. Oh man. It's a wonder how these young guys can be so vibrant and charming on the outside but so wounded on the inside. As I read what went on in Jaden's mind and how he craved reciprocal feelings from his friend, I became so protective of him. Thank God for Sebastian's mom. If I had to be a momma in a young adult read, I'd want to be her.<br />
<br />
I hated, hated, hated that Jaden felt alone. Thing about it is, he really wasn't. You know guys and their pride. Poor darlins'. Even though we have a broken boy here, this story had a lot of wit. So, while they had a few frowns, there were a lot of smiles.<br />
<br />
The friendship and support between the characters was true and sweet. Little by little, Jaden was able to express his self. Little by little, he was able to gain trust from the girl he loved. Little by little, he trusted the girl. Little by little, the shame left him. All of that made me a happy reader, but was it <strong><u>enough</u></strong> to make him stay or run?<br />
<br />
When Jay was with his friends, when he was himself, I adored his personality. I really would wear him as an earring, just so I could always hear his wit.<br />
<br />
I've been on my Nyrae Dawn reading spree for a month now. She writes for everyone. What I love most about her work, is that her stories have the effect of reality, true situations. Her characters think and handle situations just like you or I would. It's like witnessing real moments. <br />

Torin threatened by someone from his past, Raine becomes desperate for answers.
Just her luck two new students arrive at her school and they seem to have
answers. When with them, her powers are enhanced and her visions become clear.
There is only one problem: Torin forbids Raine to see the two girls. <br />

you’re eating here. Please. Echo will be gone most of today and evening,” Cora
explained. “There was a fire at some nursing home in Seattle.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“I’m heading home,
but you can join us. Torin already left to make something.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">She sighed
melodramatically and looked around the cafeteria. “I don’t want to be a third
wheel.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“You won’t be.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Nah. Go enjoy
your man.” She waved and I turned to see three girls from the swim team,
Kicker, Sonya and Tess. “I’ll join the girls and catch up on the latest gossip.
See you tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“You want to come
and watch The Originals online? I missed last two episodes.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Her eyes widened.
“Ohmigod, the poor, damaged, just-needs-to-be-loved Klaus. I have to get my
Klaus fix every week. I’ve even gotten Echo to tolerate him. Okay, I’ll watch
with you, so we can hate on some witches. I also want your opinion on
something.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Okay.” Ingrid,
her cheerleader friends, and their jock boyfriends walked in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Everyone at

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Where’s Torin?”
a girl asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Around. You know
I can actually breathe without him. Ingrid.” I indicated outside with a nod and
took off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“What’s going
on?” she asked, sounding a bit worried.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“I want to pick
your brain.” Some of the students were hanging out on the deck. Others threw
football in the grassy area along the building. It was still cold, but the sun
was up and diehards were already wearing shorts. I found an area away from the
others and faced her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“You are
beginning to worry me,” Ingrid said. “If this is about Andris—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“No, this is
about me. Do you remember I told you last night that I heard the woman sing
during my vision?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">She nodded. “Varðlokur.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Varo-what?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“The warding or
spirit-summoning song. We sing it before the Seeress goes into a trance. What
about it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“I thought I
heard it this morning.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Her frown
deepened. “Where?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Here at school.
What does that mean?” I saw a movement from the corner of my eyes and turned to
look. It was Blaine. He waved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“I don’t know. I
guess whoever sang the song last night is a student here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“But the Seeress
was older. At least, she sounded older.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Uh, that’s
because the Seeress never does the singing. Someone else does. You sure it
wasn’t the same voice?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">I nodded. Someone
working with a Seeress was here at my school. “Is Blaine waiting for you?” He
was talking to friends but he kept looking in our direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Ingrid waved to
him. “No. Do you want me to point her out when I recognize her?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“You can do
that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">She shrugged.
“Oh, yes. It’s like, uh, having a witch radar. Why do you think Maliina hated
you from the moment she saw you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Uh, because
Andris was being a total douche?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">She laughed.
“That came second. My sister was a powerful Seidr witch, but in you, she saw
something else. Something she’d never seen before and she was jealous. Maliina
always wanted to be important and, uh, revered. Back at home, they did, but it
wasn’t enough. Then she met Andris and he turned her. But he took her away from
home and her adoring fans. She stopped being important and she didn’t like it.
That’s why she joined the Norns. She was very ambitious.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">It didn’t excuse
what she’d done, but it made sense. “So what did she see in me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Ingrid shrugged.
“A more powerful witch, I guess. I’m not as strong as Maliina, but I should be
able to spot the witch here at school. I’ll let you know when I do.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Thanks.” I
really liked this new Ingrid. She stopped by the group with Blaine, said
something to him and disappeared inside the building. Blaine followed her. I
went to the nearest restroom and headed home to Torin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span id="freeText832720385240720009"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-small;">A biker. A tattoo artist. A love to last a lifetime.<br /><br />Maddox Cross has always had to be tough. When his father went to jail for murder, the teenager took care of his sister and mother. Now on his own and working security at a night club, Maddox wants to become a tattoo artist-a dream that comes closer to reality when he falls for the hottest, most tatted woman he's ever seen. She's wild and beautiful, and Maddox will do anything to be with her.<br /><br />Bee Malone came to town to open up her new tattoo parlor, Masquerade. Since being kidnapped as a young girl, Bee has had trouble getting close to anyone. But when she meets Maddox, she sees that under his hard biker's body is the sensitive soul of an artist. What starts out as a sizzling one-night stand soon becomes so much more.<br /><br />Bee wants Maddox to join her tattoo business, but letting him into her life means revealing all her most intimate secrets. And as the past begins to intertwine with her present, Bee fears their love may not be as permanent as their ink . . .</span> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oh my mutha effin stars!! I'm all friggin’ grease lightening
over here! Masquerade is book 3 in <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/p/new-adult-books.html">The Games Series</a> by <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn</a>. Maddox was
introduced to us in book 2, Facade and in my <a href="http://living-fictitiously.blogspot.com/2014/04/review-facade-by-nyrae-dawn.html">review</a> for Façade I stated that I
hoped he would get a story of his own because I was intrigued by him. Yippie ki yay
brotherlovers--- here he is!!! On top of that, Nyrae gave me an awesome female
character to gush over. I love me some Bee!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In Maddox's story, the reader gets to feel his issues in
depth from what was learned about him as a supporting character in Facade. Maddox
is his ever broody, cocky, manly self, which makes him mysterious and
delicious. He's shut off from the world and drowning in guilt. We see his inner
self and his battles. The reader also sees his uplifted side. And my personal
favorites- his sexy side, and his smirk, and his voice, and his- my even more
favorite... His britches! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But most of
all, his heart. So, this proves that I do favor him of all the broken beaus in
The Games Series. I just felt like I connected with him the most out of the
male characters in all three books. I believe it was because of the
responsibility and burden he carried.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maddox has met his match, oh yeah! Bee is a feisty girl.
She's straight up raw and keeps it real with no holds barred. What you see is
what you get. Physically that is. Inside, she was destroyed in two halves. This
character had my full support and I wanted to jump in the story just to hold
her hand and let her know I was there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
couldn't help but envision her as Pink. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The introduction between Maddox and Bee came on full force
and it was hot. And then, and dennnn... Well, we have two hard, hot heads who
are both brutally honest and both are shattered from traumatic memories. These
characters let their past control their present. And now, they live behind a
mask shutting everyone out so their true emotions can stay hidden. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love the way they had no intention of wanting anything
more than sex and how they constantly tested their instincts and fight their
temptation. The reader gets to visualize how badly these two needed each other.
I ate, breathed, and slept the emotions of Maddox and Bee. I felt their pain,
their lust, their need, their triumph. Their tension was scrumptious... I swear
reading about it was like an aphrodisiac of words. They shared the physical
attraction and fought the emotional attachment. Each had their own inner demon
and they succumbed to it. No matter how hard they fought it, they brought out
the best in each other. Their connection was binding. When they knocked down
those barriers and came together, it was like a melody in my heart. Aaaahhhh...
But what a joy it was to see them fumbling over emotions and coming outside
boundaries and slaying those dreadful memories. Most of all, I admired their
growth of commitment. When you've been through what these characters have,
trust can be frightening. You have to learn it, earn it, understand it and
give it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This novel made me realize that for Maddox and Bee, love
does wonderful things. Like for instance, it can make you stop surrendering to
your own drama. It can turn the negativity you live with into positivity. It
makes your heart open up. And now, you can breathe. You can smile. Bee and
Maddox have come a long way.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seriously though, I've really enjoyed this series. The
author puts so much emotion behind the characters and their stories that the
reader instantly has a connection and it makes it feel so personal. You feel
their pain, the triumph, the tension, the craving, and the lust behind these
people. And the one worded titles are very significant to their stories. All of the
characters are linked and they all suffered painful events in their lives. To
have seen them find happiness was an honor. Their emotions were raw, and struck
you like a fist to stomach. It really takes a talented author for their words
to strike their readers and for the reader to bond with the characters and the
setting.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What's pretty awesome about Nyrae's new adult books is the
romance is tastefully written. It's not explicit dirty, but sexy dirty. It
leaves more to the imagination. More emotion and desire.</span><br />

<br />
And my Nyrae Dawn reading expo continues...<br />
<br />
Facade is book 2 in <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn's</a> <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/p/new-adult-books.html">The Game Series</a>. Adrian, a supporting character from Charade, book 1, has now crossed over into a story of his own.<br />
<br />
Hold up... Let me stare at the cover dripping in a lusty kiss a little longer...<br />
<br />
So, here we have a wonderful, heart wrenching, soul searching, fateful love story that wasn't just about romance, but about finding acception, forgiveness, and recognition within one 's self. Those were my exact words I sent to Nyrae after finishing Facade.<br />
<br />
Broken boys... They always capture my heart. Poor Adrian is haunted with grief and stays hidden behind whatever vice to deal. He relished in blame. But when he felt frisky, his cheesy lines gave me the giggles. I totally had the lusty butt for this dude. I'd even be a pancake just so he could eat me up.<br />
<br />
And wow, he had a talent so deep. It nearly brought tears to my eyes.<br />
<br />
Delaney suffered from a broken family. She was too young to have had the burden of her dysfunctional mom and suffer the guilt from her father's irresponsibility. Her ultimate goal was forgiveness, not for herself-- but she felt she needed it for her family to move on. But that came with a big <u>UN</u>expectation.<br />
<br />
Delaney had a brother who I had an instant connection with. They pretty much only had each other. Their relationship was one I'd hope for in a sibling, just maybe a little more opening up on Maddox's part. But he meant well. I really hope he gets his own story. Maddox was very serious-- rightfully so from the circumstance he and Delaney suffered from. I'd love to see a lighter side of him.<br />
<br />
Whadayaknow... It's pretty amazing how fate can bring two emotionally distraught people together that shared a related tragedy. Love and support can heal wounds. And both Delaney and Adrian needed their hearts mended. Together, their emotional and physical stability can be repaired. But not before discovering their true identities first, some teasing, battling of physical and mental emotions, and working around the cause of their despair.<br />
<br />
I lived their journey as I read Facade. These two characters were shattered. It wasn't easy for them to become whole again. This was a game Adrian hadn't expected, just like Delaney hadn't expected what lied behind Adrian's barrier. They both hid behind their own facade and scarred memories until truths exposed.<br />
<br />
I swear I wanted to make out with Nyrae's make out scenes. They made me all tingly.<br />
<br />
I really enjoy Nyrae Dawn's writing style. It flows really well and while I prefer past tense in novels, Nyrae can nail present tense. I feel like I'm right there behind her words, visualizing the characters feelings and interactions. She makes my eyes sting or my mouth smile at the emotion. She practices great descriptive dialogue and narrative- which I'm a stickler about in reading. Her stories keep me glued to the pages and makes me look forward to reading more of her work-- both young and new adult.<br />

<span id="freeText17022489340748377313"><em><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Before, Brynn had a group of best friends, a loving boyfriend, a growing talent for pottery. She had a life. And after…she had none.<br /><br />When Brynn lost the boyfriend who never loved her, the friends who feel she betrayed their trust, and the new life just beginning to grow inside her, she believes her future is as empty as her body. But then Christian, the boy next door, starts coming around. Playing his guitar and pushing her to create art once more. She meets some new friends at the local community center, plus even gets her dad to look her in the eye again…sort of.</strong></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">But can Brynn open up her heart to truly find her life’s own beauty, when living for the after means letting go of the before?</span></strong></span></em></span><br />
<br />
Searching for Beautiful is a very deep and emotional young adult story written by <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn</a>. The words behind these pages are very strong and this is a story that needed to be told. It can show you teen outreach programs do help and that there is always someone to listen. Someone to help, when you let them- when you want to be helped. What happened to the main character, Brynn can happen to any young person. Sometimes, you just kinda get caught up in infatuation, and nothing else matters.<br />
<br />
When I read the first chapter, it was quite of a load. I was mortified for poor Brynn. She was dealing with loss and along came someone who she thought loved her. Who she trusted, only to discover betrayal. She had dreamed of having her own love story, only for it to be crushed. And only to lose again.<br />
<br />
Now, Brynn is living with disappointment. To herself, to others, others to her. So, how can Brynn's living nightmare end? My heart breaks for her. Especially when she had went back to school. Teens can be so judgemental and harsh no matter if it's physical or in silence. To make someone feel like they have to question their self worth is cruel. And to feel alone is fear.<br />
<br />
Little did Brynn know that someone next door could change everything. And possibly that someone is fighting emotional battles as well. Perhaps, they can support each other. But, can she let her guard down enough to let help in, to rekindle good memories, to accept the bad ones, to make new memories? Will Brynn heal? <br />
<br />
I found myself trying to decipher if Jason really was an awful person. He made an irresponsible choice at what he was doing with Brynn. He should've known better. I kept trying to find any good in him. But I couldn't. He knew exactly what he was doing. The lies proved it, but the damage was done.<br />
<br />
I was happy Brynn met Emery. She became a friend when Brynn needed it most- when Brynn's best friends couldn't . The same for Christian's mom. And Christian himself. What a compassionate, crushworthy guy. There is a special place in my heart for people who offer support to others when they need it.<br />
<br />
It wasn't easy for Brynn, but with encouragement and acception, and remembering the good memories, she found herself. And it was beautiful.<br />

<span id="freeText9853308752011699625"><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Seventeen-year-old Annabel Conway is tired of the Hillcrest High School elite making her life miserable because she’s not a size two. This summer, she's hiring a personal trainer to help her lose weight. <br /><br />Annabel doesn’t expect her trainer to be a gorgeous guy around her age. Boys like Tegan are jerks. They pretend to like girls like her so they can make an idiot out of them. Been there, done that. Totally not going there again. She kind of hates him on principal. Blond. Muscular. Funny. It doesn’t help that he knows her measurements!<br /><br />Soon, Tegan's so much more than that. He’s the boy who teaches her to box when she has a bad day. Who jogs with her and lets her set the pace. Who kisses her until she melts. He makes her feel beautiful regardless of what the scale says. Unlike her mom, he doesn’t expect perfection, and he doesn't try to shield her from the world like her dad and best friend. Tegan likes her the way she is.<br /><br />But what happens when he’s not there? He can’t always be there… <br /><br />Will Annabel be able to stand on her own and learn that she already measures up? That her worth doesn’t lie in what the world thinks, the scale says, or even what Tegan tells her—but in herself?</span></em><a class="actionLinkLite" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15783617-measuring-up?from_search=true#"></a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to do something different than my normal reviews. I had so much fun while reading this book I'm going to do a chapter by chapter, as best as I can, non-spoilery commentary. (While I read each chapter, I jotted my impressions down.)<br />
<br />
So.... here we go... weeeeeeee!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 1</strong>: I think I'm going to like this girl!! Procrastination with getting fit?... Annabel, me and you... We are like this X. Ugh, and the whole self confidence thing? We got this. Take me on your journey to measuring up. And I wouldn't mind doing a few um, leg wraps- oops, I mean squats with the personal trainer, Tegan.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 2</strong>: I feel for Annabel. We've all been there. Being scolded for your weight or being bullied really destroys your complex. Then you always obsess over what people may think of you.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 3</strong>: Obviously Tegan is a looker. Gosh, if it were me, I'd lose weight just by salivating over him. I friggin adore Annabel's sarcasm towards him. The girl does not filter. It's great. But she's starting to push his buttons. I believe part of her sarcasm is a defense mechanism. Because she worries too much what people think of her. But I see Tegan being her motivator.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 4</strong>: C'mon girl.... Spit on them bullies! You're making me think that you pity your own self. Just wait til' Tegan gets a hold of you. He's been quite tense lately. Wonder what's behind his wall? I know this though, I need a personal trainer STAT. Tegan's making my heart woozie.<br />
<br />
*excuse me a moment while I share some Ben & Jerry's with my girl, Annabel.*<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 5</strong>: Somebody's got a crush!! I mean, how can you not! I love the way Tegan challenges Annabel. His confidence is just right, and it gives me the flutters.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 6</strong>: Tsk tsk Tegan and I'm about to bitchslap Annabel's mom. Or even better, shove cake down her throat!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 7</strong>: What are you hiding 'Gym Boy'!? It's like you have multiple personalities or something. One minute you're all friendly and smiles, the other you get moody and intense. You have nothing to be ashamed of-- or do you? Apparently, we have two people here, Annabel and Tegan, who both have some vulnerabilities. <br />
<br />
Annabel, I really don't like your mom. I want to go all Em on her.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 8</strong>: Oh Tegan, I hope you aren't sending Annabel mixed signals. I sure am enjoying y'all's interaction. I really think y'all bring out the best in each other. I enjoy Annabel's feelings as Tegan starts to open up and she realizes his genuineness.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 9</strong>: Don't get frustrated Annabel.<br />
<br />
... I think I'm falling in love with Tegan.<br />
<br />
Annabel's giving me the giggles.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 10</strong>: I'm so giddy, oh so giddy for Annabel. I really like her. She's funny and awkward. And her feelings, whether they are hurt or shining, they are real.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 11</strong>: And my heart is freaking racing!!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 12</strong>: Take the compliments Annabel.<br />
<br />
I want the 'Near Tegan Experience'.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 13</strong>: That kiss was magical.<br />
<br />
And... what the what? Better have a good explanation for this Tegan!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 14</strong>: Phew. Had me scared there. Awwwww Tegan!!! You sweet thang you!!<br />
<br />
Spill your guts Annabel. Reveal your guy!<br />
<br />
Tegan's little brother Tim-my is such a riot!! And his mom, what a nice lady.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 15</strong>: Sock that bitch Annabel! Go Rocky on her ass!<br />
<br />
Me to self: Kim- it's 1am. 630 is approaching fast. Go to sleep. But I want to keep reading. Go to sleep!!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 16</strong>: *plays Rocky music* Tegan... So mature and responsible for a young man. What a man, what a man, what a mighty good young man.<br />
<br />
Making progress Annabel!! And the trust is constructed.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 17</strong>: Oh Annabel- honey, come here and let me hug you. <br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 18</strong>: Awe Annabel, good for you revealing the awesomeness, I just wish the others could've understood better-- but deep down, I think they did.<br />
<br />
Wow, the support and understanding and encouragement Tegan gives Annabel just really makes my heart skip a beat.<br />
<br />
Nyrae Dawn sure can write some explosive macking scenes.<br />
<br />
Annabel's dad is the dearest.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 19</strong>: High mutha effin fives Tegan. And go 'head Annabel Lee.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 20</strong>: ...Bliss.<br />
<br />
And the wall comes tumbling down.<br />
<br />
I love Annabel and Tegan together.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 21</strong>: Wall back up. Damn walls.<br />
<br />
Oh dear. What is going to happen from here?<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 22</strong>: Gut punch. Oh man. *hiccup*<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 23</strong>: Crap- I need a Kleenex.<br />
<br />
Annabel, you had this in you all along. Continue your goal, doll. I know you can do this.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 24</strong>: She's blossomed.<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 25</strong>: Making progress!!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 26</strong>: Wowsers!! Very happy for you AB!!<br />
<br />
<strong>Ch 27</strong>: My girl, Annabel, I'm so very proud of you. You've blossomed and have become independent. You deserve much happiness and love. But I still don't like your mother.<br />
<br />
What a fantastic, fun, at times heartbreaking, read Measuring Up was. I'm so impressed with Annabel's growth. How she went from battling her insecurities to becoming independent and accomplishing her goals. What a smart girl! I enjoyed Annabel Lee and Tegan. Their love story was true and perfect. It was none of that cat and mouse games. If you need a pick me up read, then grab this book here and support a wonderful, talented author, <a href="http://nyraedawn.blogspot.com/">Nyrae Dawn</a>.

<br />
Before the last quote card is revealed for the last day of the superfan contest, I'd like to squeeze in my review first for This Side of Salvation by <a href="http://www.jerismithready.com/">Jeri Smith-Ready</a>. <br />
<br />
So, lets roll this beautiful read footage.<br />
<br />
Let me first start off when I keyed in Jeri's name in my smart phone notes, it autocorrected as <em>hero</em>. My phone is in fact very smart because that is exactly what she is to me. My hero. The admiration I have for this author and her <a href="http://www.jerismithready.com/books/">books</a> is very profound. I relish my time that I invest in her work- I look forward to it, and my family knows that when it comes to Jeri Smith-Ready, best step back, lol!! Her books are part of my soul. Every single one of her novels are filled with deep emotion and a beautiful meaning and so real. Each of her series or stand alones are definitely in a class of their own. JSR could write about donkeys mating and I'd favor it!!<br />
<br />
I highly anticipated This Side of Salvation since Jeri had released the news that she was writing it. As the release date of 4/1/14 neared, the days leading up to it seemed to go by so slow. The night before, all I could do was think about it and kept reading the synopsis over and over and stare at the captivating cover. <br />
<br />
Panic attacked me when my preordered hard copy from B&N didn't arrive in the mail on 4/1. Bitches April fooled me-- so I downloaded the ebook on my handy dandy E reader. Thank you technology! There was no way other people would be reading this novel on its release day and not me.<br />
<br />
Low and behold, I opened the book. To a quote. A very strong, powerful quote. And then I read the first sentence in the first chapter and it intrigued me to the point that I had to read it several times-- to the point that I knew I had to mentally prepare myself for the emotion and events to come.<br />
<br />
I have to laugh at some of the reactions and preparations for the Rush. It reminded me of the Y2K frenzy. I mean, they are two totally different things... end of world vs. end of technology. What I can't laugh at is what the main character, David and his sister horrifically discovered when they came home on supposedly the last night of their worldly lives. I later discovered David and his sister Mara had already endured grief in many ways within their broken family. After a life altering event, David's parents had become extreme in their faith. I found that his father over compensated his grief with intense evangelism and theological speech. It had to be tough for David and Mara to be exposed in that type of environment and their poor mom was caught in the middle. <br />
<br />
I was brought to now and then with a perfect mix of present tense and past tense in this mysterious, yet contemporary young adult novel. At times, it was a bit eerie, giving me the chills. A lot of religion, theology and verses were mentioned, which is something I'm a bit distant with (all because of the Rapture and Revelations-- eeek!-) but even so, definitely held my attention and kept me interested. With that said, the meaning behind the Rush both fascinated and frightened me.<br />
<br />
This Side of Salvation was written in David's point of view. He had the typical boy's thought process, just some heartache and faith to go with it. It was both fun and serious being inside his head, knowing his thoughts. I adored his mentality, his questioning, his realizations. He has my heart. It was a journey for me in him finding comfort within himself and trusting in his faith. It was David who was the Savior in this novel. What makes me respect David the most, is he never gave up on his father. It takes a strong will to forgive. I commend him for having it. <br />
<br />
<em><strong>"If my life is about being good, then it loses meaning when in bad. That's the thing about God-He loves us no matter how much we screw up. Because He made us." ~David</strong></em><br />
<br />
David's sister Mara was a cool cat. She was snarky like sisters are to their brothers. But when it came down to it, she and David's bond was strong. They looked out for each other. If I had to compare myself to any character in this book, I'm certain I'd share Mara's views.<br />
<br />
I love how Bailey, David's girlfriend, understood him- how she offered the words he needed, how she made him feel normal in his, IMO, abnormal life. She was charismatic; a free spirit and was the ying to David's yang. Plus- I really digged her "Easy as
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">∏</span><o:p></o:p>
tank.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>'When she was out of sight, I rubbed my forehead where she'd touched me, wishing I could stamp the imprint of her finger onto my skin.' ~David's thoughts on Bailey.</strong></em><br />
<br />
David's best friend Kane was fun and supportive. I adored his humor. He brought in laughter in this somewhat serious story.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>"So she's a prophet with no profit?" ~Kane</strong></em><br />
<br />
TSoS was a different read for me than most books... more spiritual I guess I'd say. It had made me ponder, laugh, cry... kinda made me want to get in touch with my spiritual side, so I went to church this past Sunday--- I didn't burn!! Lol. The ending gave me a stronger serenity than other books have and I had a pleasant reflection post read. I was at peace and that's the best feeling one could have.<br />
<br />
This Side of Salvation, by Jeri Smith-Ready is a great read for mid teens on up to older adults. Not only is the reader guided through David's journey, but I believe that the events and quotes in this novel will give each who read it something to think and reflect about for the main character and his family and friends, and for themselves.<br />
<br />

I hadn't started reading TSoS yet when I originally posted David and Kane. But I'm now 150 pages in. David has my heart. He's been through quite a bit in his family life. But he's still all boy. I adore his mentality. And Kane, David's best friend, he's quite the funny and supportive one, but that works both ways. </div>

I am still reading TSoS and at this point in the story I believe that she's caught in the middle of everything. She has her own grief to deal with, and she's trying to support her husband and her kids, which each have their different beliefs. It has to be difficult. But this quote had made me giggle when I read it in the book. I'm glad Jeri chose this card. It shows the lighter side of David's Mom.</div>

There is truth behind this quote. However, some deranged people can always say the correct things so that they could later mislead you. It's quite unfortunate when faith is brought into it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span>Today, we meet Eve Decker. She was definitely somewhere she did not want to be. By reading this quote, you can figure that she was going to try and make the best of it!</div>

I completed my reading for This Side of Salvation. I will post a review after all of Jeri's cards are posted. It was a different read for me than a lot of books... more spiritual I guess I'd say. Post ending, I really had a pleasant reflection on this book and felt at peace. It was a great feeling.</div>

This Side of Salvation is a great read for mid teens on up to older adult. Not only is the reader guided through David's journey, but I believe that the events and quotes in this novel will give each who read it something to think and reflect about for the main character and his family, and for themselves.</div>
