Our thoughts:
This is definitely a different type of story but WELL worth the read. It is in 2 different POV from Charlotte’s and then Kevin’s. They are brother and sister who are about to embark on a journey in a world neither one knew existed.
I must say that I think Liam is my favorite character. He is Kevin’s best friend and Charlotte used to have a crush on him before they left to Alaska. He could possibly have a thing for her too, I haven’t quite figured that one out. I don’t know if it’s a brotherly type of affection or a hey! I need to be with you kind.
Oh! Get this. Charlotte ends up meeting a guy in a different realm. Yes, you read correctly. She is under the impression that it’s love at first sight. Young uns, I am telling you. LOL
BUT, and yes I started a sentence with the all time no no. BUT I must tell you this. This story will take you on an unexpected adventure. Much different from many others you have read I am sure. And hey it’s only .99 how could you go wrong? I can't wait to read the next one! I am glad this book is in my Kindle Library. Most of you will be too!!! 4 stars

Unable to resist the infuriating yet alluring Levi, Allie finds herself at the center of a supernatural society and forced to decide between following the path she has always trusted or saving a city that might just save her.
Our thoughts:
Flight started out as a typical end of high school story. Best friends. Just graduated,. No school. ROAD TRIP!!! To work at Allie’s dad’s hotel in New Orleans. Right dab smack in the hustle and bustle.
This is not your normal paranormal story. Well not to me anyway. it was different. A good different. We see Allie and a normal well rich but not hey I am rich attitude girl at her wits end with boys.
Until she meets Levi. Who seems to be unable to take a hint that she isn't interested.
He isn't letting THAT happen ....maybe he can show her a wing or two...... 4 stars

Derailed (Clayton Falls)
New Adult Contemporary Romance
When you're lost, sometimes the only place you can go is home.
Our thoughts:
The author has no problem captivating her audience from page one to the end. You are able to place yourself into the characters because many of us have experienced very similar situations in our lives. There isn't just one or two emotions that we feel during reading this book it is a very heartfelt and emotional rollercoaster. Many times in this book I actually had to stop because the author was so visual you could feel the characters pain and emotions. I loved reading this book and cant wait to read more. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I love this story. Each of us have lost a person or persons at a time in our lives. The author paints an amazing look into tue inner turmoil grief causes. Molly is such a deep character, and the reader truly feels her .pain and sense of loss. Learning to overcome grief and learn to .live again is one of the hardest lessons in life. The omit had several twists which fit but I never seen coming. I enjoyed the easy flow and fast pace. Editing was near perfect. I would recommend this book, it leaves you with a definite feel good emotion. I will say this after you complete the novel and take a good look at the cover you see a very deep sense of the author's use of symbolism which I absolutely adore. I would also add I would recommend this for an older audience as it is contemporary new adult. Happy reading!!!! 4 stars
