Q: What blogger inspires you? It can be any kind, it doesn’t have to be a book blog.

A: I have a few, one being Rachel @ Parajunkee - I was brand new had no idea where to begin and her blogging 101 was such a tremondous help. Then There is Danielle @ Romance Book Junkies, she was also a great big help when I first started, she was so kind when I had tons of questions early on. Then there is Jackie @ Housewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories, who was also so sweet, funny and helpful. Then there is Tynga Reviews, her blog is just so much fun. As well As Carmel @ Rabid Reads. I could just go on, if I missed someone I'm sorry just I would be here all night if I listed all that inspire me. Sorry for the long post I just couldn't just pick one.

Topic Thursday: How big has your book shelves, ereaders grown since starting your blog?

I was wondering if I just went totally out of control since I started my blog? I know when I started I had one bookshelf almost full, now I have books everywhere, under my bed , shelves triple stacked. And now with my Kindle I have almost 400 books on there. It's insane. I would need to read 24 hours away for months to read all I have.

So how about you? Are your shelves overflowing like mine, are you running out of room and for those with a Kindle or any ereader how much have you added to that?

Maybe we should start a book addiction or more like book buy addiction club.

It's listed a middle-grade read, ages 9-13.

Twelve-year-old Kristina Kingsly feels like the most unpopular girl in her school. The kids all tease her, and she never seems to fit in. But when Kristina receives an unusual Christmas gift, she suddenly finds herself magically transported to the land of Bernovem, home of dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals and the evil Queen Sentiz.

In Bernovem, Kristina not only fits in, she’s honored as “the chosen one” the only one who can release the land from Queen Sentiz’s control. But it’s not as simple as it seems. To save Bernovem, she must place the gift she was given, the famous “Magic Warble,” in its final resting place. And she must travel through the deep forest, climb a treacherous mountain, and risk capture by the queen’s “zelbocks” before she reaches her destination. Guided by her new fairy friends, Clover and Looper and by Prince Werrien, a teenage boy, as well as an assortment of other characters, Kristina sets off on a perilous journey that not only tests her strength but her heart.

"I tried not to sound hysterical, but it’s not every day you find out the paranormal is hunting you."


What if everything you believed was a lie?


A Suicide

Seventeen year old Allison Maney attends Millennium High School in Manhattan. Nothing out of the ordinary, unless you consider the occasional suicides at the school. At least that is what everyone is told, what everyone believes. But Tommy Bachelor was a popular football player; why would he jump off the roof of the school?


Dangerous Liaisons

When Dameon pays attention to Ali, she couldn't be more excited, because for the past three months he was all she could think about. But now that Dameon is finally pining for her affections, she is becoming more and more wrapped up in a clique of three who, as new transfers to the school, are proving to be trouble. But at least Dameon loves her, doesn't he?


A Soul Purpose

The underworld of angels and demons have one thing on their mind: Earth. Demons want to do what they want. Angels want to protect humans from these rogue angels, AKA: Demons


A Suspenseful Romance

Caught between Dameon and Kian, the suicide and the clique of three, Ali won't know who to trust…or who to love, because for Allison Maney, everything i not exactly what it seems.

Book 1 in the AngelFire Chronicles:
1-SHE SPEAKS TO ANGELS
2-FALLING ANGELS
3-ANGEL CODES

Review:

This book starts off with a sad note, a suicide. Which leads three teenage girls wanting to investigate, Why would a popular boy kill himself? The more they dig the more trouble finds at least one of the girls Allison (Ali). And while that is all going on, the boy Ali has had a crush on since he arrived at school is suddenly paying lots of attention to her. Then three new students arrive and they seem like they are trouble or so she thinks.

I have to say I loved this book from the first page. I connected with Ali almost instantaneously and it was a wild ride from the starting gate. And I have to admit I liked Dameon too at first but then came Kian. I can't blame the girl for being confused.

Honestly I couldn't read this book fast enough I just kept wanting to know more, how it was going to end and everything in between. I loved the story-line, the uniqueness of how angels and demons were made as well as if they broke the rules, what would happen if they do.

This was a fantastic read, I definitely will be reading the next book, Falling Angels when it comes out. So if you are a lover of Angels and Demons with a unique twist to it(at least for me it was) then I highly recommend you read this book.

Rating:

5 out of 5 stars
