Review for The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for hosting this Book Tour and for sending me this FREE E-Arc to promote and review for Breanne Randall. 

The Discription of this book was so right it really is similar to Practical Magic AND Gilmore Girls but i also reminded me of The Craft and Halloweentown. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Sadie and Raquel were definately my favorites. Loved the banter between them which was comical at times. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Fantasy Book about a woman learning about Magic while caring for her sick Grandmother!! I wish this was part of a series cause i'd love to see how Sadie's story would continue. 

Can't wait to read more by Breanne in the future!!

Happy Promo Blitz Day!!

    
Happy Promo Blitz Day to this GORGEOUS Fantasy/Magical Realism Novel by Breanne Randall. Im so anxious to read and review this one for her.

Synopsis: 
For fans of Practical Magic and Gilmore Girls, The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic is a debut novel that explores the shields we build around out hearts to retain our own magic. 

Sadie Revelare has always believed that the curse of four heartbreaks that accompanies her magic would be worth the price but when her Grandmother is diagnosed with Cancer only weeks to live and her first heartbreak. Jake McNealy returns to town after a decade, her carefully structured life begins to unravel. 

With News of their Grandmother's impending Death, Sadie's estranged Twin Brother, Seth returns to town bringing with him deeply buried family secrets that threaten to tear Sadie's world apart. Their Grandmother has been the backbone of the family for generations and with her death, Sadie isnt sure she'll have the strength to keep the family, and her magic together. 

As her feelings for Jake begin to rekindle and her Grandmother growing sicker by the day, Sadie faces the last of her heartbreak and she has to decide: Is Love More Important than Magic? 

Readers who love the Magic of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and the sense of community found in The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches will enjoy this warm, witchy novel.

Not sure why i never wrote a text review for this book before since this was my 3rd time reading it but here it is.

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. I still ship Anne and Diana's friendship so much. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually on PEI especially when the scenery was described since i remember My Grandma (My Mom's Mom) and StepGrandpa visiting PEI in the Early 2000s for a retreat and since then ive always wanted to visit PEI. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 1 in this series about an Orphan growing up in Green Gables. Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

 May be an image of text that says '#IN #1NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SARAH MAAS THRONE OF GLASS' 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book in this series by Sarah but only the 2nd Series of her's that ive dived into and i can happily say i surprisingly say i loved it. 

Why did it take me so long to dive into this one?! Im not sure other then i was afraid this one would be disappointing since i wasnt crazy for one of the books in The ACOTAR Series but now i wish i had read this one sooner. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Celaena was definately my favorite so far. I love her Spunk, Forwardness and hardwork. It's sad how she had to go through certain to survive in her own country but i love how determined she was about it. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a PHENOMENAL Book 1 in this YA Fantasy Series in a Retelling similar to Beauty and the Beast. Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

Review for After the Shadows (Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing #1) by Amanda Cabot

 May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'AFTER the SHADOWS SWEETWATER CROSSING AMANDA CABOT' 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this was only the 2nd Series ive Read/Started by Amanda, i can happily say this is now in My Top 5 Favorite Historical Fiction Series of All time. 

Most Historical Fiction's talk about how a character goes from tragedy to triumph without talking about their journey but not this one. This one was different in a good way!! I loved how Amanda described how Emily dealt with her Teaching Career, Losing an Abusive Husband and A Loving Father as she tried to overcome all that and make a better life for herself and her sisters. 

The Characters were enjoyable and interesting to read about. Emily, Louisa and Sara were definately my favorites since i could really relate to The Grief they were going through after Tragically losing their Father since ive been feeling that same Grief since losing My Dad in 2021. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1800s Sweetwater, Texas while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 1 in This Historical Fiction Series about a Teacher learning Secrets about her Husband and Father after their passings!! Can't wait to read Book 2 soon!!

Review for The Only Girl in Town by Ally Condie

 May be an image of text 
Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Penguin Random Publishing and Dutton Books for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a Giveaway on their website earlier this year. 

When this copy arrived  back in July, it came with a different name on the cover but the correct address so i contacted them about it and they told me that they'd send me a new copy but it NEVER came so that's why it took me awhile to get to this one. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. July was definately My Favorite since i could relate to the Depression and Mental Health Issues she was dealing with since ive been dealing with that since losing My Dad in 2021. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good YA Fiction about A Teen dealing with Depression and Mental Health. If the Chapters werent so short i would of rated this 5 Stars!! I will read more by Ally in the future, i just hope all her books dont have short chapters like this one did.

Even tho this is only the 2nd Book ive read in this series by Charlaine, im really starting to love this series so much. Will it push me to watch True Blood?! Im not sure yet since ALOT has to happen before i do. 

The Characters were fun and lovely to read about. Sookie is definately my favorite by far. I am starting to like the other characters but not as much as i do Sookie. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book helping solve the murder while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall Another Good Book in this Cozy Mystery Series about a Cocktail Waitress who solves Murders!! Can't wait to read more in this series and by Charlaine in the future!!

AMAZING as always by Suzanne!!

Review for The Novelist from Berlin by VS Alexander

 May be an image of 1 person and text 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Kensington Books for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway in their newsletter email back in August. 

This was my first time reading a book by VS Alexander so i wasnt sure what to expect even tho this book left me intrigued since its based off of The Mysterious True Story of Irmgard Keun and surprisngly  i loved every minute of this book. 

The Characters were fun and intriguing to read about. I felt like Young Niki was a little too gullible to buy into Rickard Langer's story and as she grew older i felt bad for her finally seeing who he really is even tho it seemed to come too late in her life. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1920s Germany while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Historical Fiction Set in 1920s Germany during The Great War in Berlin!! Can't wait to read more by VS in the very near future!!

This was only the 3rd Book ive read in this series by JD Robb but i have to say this series just isnt for me. Something about this series is hard for me to get into. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. It was hard to pick just one as my favorite since i seemed to like all the characters. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when the scenery was described.

Review for High Tide (Montgomery #37) by Jude Deveraux

 May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'Jude The marvelous New York Times bestseller author Deveray authorof from the The Blessing everaux High Tide' 
Rating: 3 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was only the 3rd Book ive read by Jude so i kind of knew what to expect even tho i didnt like The Velvet Promise but since i did like The Invitation i was optimistic about this one but sadly left me disappointed for 2 reasons: 
1. There was NO Romance in this one. and 2. It was too slow starting for my taste. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Fiona was definately my favorite. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in The Florida Everglades while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall an OK Book. I will read more by Jude in the future but i hope her other books arent as slow starting as this one was.

Review for Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself by Luke Russert

 No photo description available. 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to My Aunt for Gifting me this book back in July for My Birthday to help me cope with missing My Dad since his passing in November 2021. 

I'm familiar with The Russert Family since My Dad would watch Meet The Press on Cbs for years before Luke's Dad, Tim, passed away so i was anxious to read this to see how i would like it and if anything in this book would connect with me and it definately did. 

I loved how this book talked about how deep and emotional Grief can be after losing a Father as ive been feeling that way since November 7th 2021. 

My Favorite Quote from this book is: 
"Our Grieving is dignified. Our Attention will go toward honoring Dad's Legacy." (Most of you who know me know how hard ive taken losing My Dad know why this quote speaks so strongly to me.) 

Overall a Wonderful Non-Fiction Memoir about Grieving a Parent and trying to find yourself while dealing with it. I hope Luke will write more books like this in the future!!

 May be an image of text that says 'The Award winning Al novel The inspiration for HBO Original Series TRLEBL000 A Sookie Stackhouse Novel CHARLAINE •1 New Fork ng Author HARRIS DEAD VNTIL DARK' 
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book in this series and by Charlaine Harris so i wasnt sure what to expect and surprisingly i loved this one. 

Did i love it because its Fantasy and Paranormal Romance?! Why Yes i did. 
Did i love it because it has Vampires in it?! Probably but not really. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Sookie was definately my favorite. I felt like The Vampire in this book was abit cocky and argogant but he definately  added to the banter with Sookie. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Louisiana helping Sookie solve the murder while reading especially when the scenery was described, 

Overall a Good Book 1 in this Fantasy Series!! Can't wait to read more by Charlaine in the future!!

Review for Something Wicked (Wicked #3, Colony #6) by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush

 May be an image of text that says 'LISA JACKSON New York Times Bestselling Author SOMETHING WICKED NANCY BUSH New York Times Bestselling Author' 
Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
Have you ever been so excited about starting a New to You Thriller in October then find out its abit disappointing?! This was it for me. 

This was my first time reading a Thriller by Lisa and Nancy so i wasnt sure what to expect But i had HIGH Expectations since most of the reviews on Goodreads were HIGH but sadly this one left me feeling disappointed mainly because it started so slow and then 2 of the Main Characters were arguing with each other which seemed to take alot away from the plot of the storyline. 

The Characters were OK but none of them made me say "She/He was my favorite".

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Oregon helping solve the Murder/Disappearance while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall an OK Thriller but ive read better. I will read more by Lisa and Nancy in the future but i hope their other books arent as slow as this one was.
