Out Of The Box Everlasting-Book 3 of the Out Of The Box Series By Jennifer Theriot, A Book Review

 After reading the second book of this series, I had to immediately read the third. From my reactions of the first book, to the happy findings in the second, I had to read the finishing saga in the third to complete my quest for answers.

I am content, satisfied with the family events and all the emotional baggage and trauma that came with it. It felt real. Exciting. Disappointing. Sad. All the things real life is, and you were crying, excited, and rooting for each member of this family.

I really enjoyed each book, each event they endured or celebrated, and I was sad to see them go. Writing well pulls the reader into the story so deeply that the characters become part of your life. This saga does just that.

Out Of The Box Regifted-Book 2 of the Out Of The Box Series By Jennifer Theriot, A Book Review

 

This is the second book of this series, and I wrote the following about the first book. ‘I was disappointed in the holes and doubts the characters' personalities created. I think it should be tweaked and revised to bring the reader into the story to root for and hope for their great moves to successful growth, not just happiness because of others’. As for the saying: if wishes were horses, beggars would ride, this book puts a solid stamp of thank you on my first book thoughts. In other words, the characters’ development is all it should be, and takes the reader along with it, every step. The truth of emotions is, you are never on a linear path, and this one is pleasantly no exception.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first, and there is one more to read, which, of course, I will.

The story revolves around a family of older and young adults, who are living their lives as best and happily as they can. As with any life, there are things they don’t see coming, and things they don’t like, but pulling together in tragedy and celebrations, keep them strong and deliberately loving to weather and enjoy each day they have together.

The emotions are strong, every single time, so enjoy each page. I did.

Kara: The Astrex Series, Book 1 By Peter Beard, A Book Review

 

A book that grabs you from the first page, holding you tight through the very last one.  I was excited from the start. I knew this was going to be a great book from the very first page.

There aren't many books that can do that. I was so happy to have found another one. Peter writes with emotion, even in his hard-hitting action scenes. It keeps you in the present and enduring all the twists, turns, and hits that his characters experience.

As I said, it is gripping. It is exciting, and the pace is flying like the wind. There is no boredom or thinking hurry up, because you are already into the next twist or turn. I can’t imagine anyone not finishing this story and eagerly reading the next.

Kara is a character who seeks to learn who she is, who her parents really are, and what her purpose is. She is deeply loyal and protective of her close circle of friends. She doesn’t have any biological family alive, or does she? She always thought she was alone in that realm, so she sought answers from anywhere she could. The answers were dangerous, but they had no clue why.

Reading this book was a breeze because you quickly became engrossed in the story, reading many chapters before you even thought to take a drink from your cup. I gave this story 5 stars out of 5 for the story itself, and the writing was so enveloping, you couldn’t and didn’t want to escape. Loved it.

The Wrong Family By Tarryn Fisher, A Book Review

 

It was confusing at first, trying to figure out what was going on, but I’m certain that was intended. Then it was chilling, and again, intended. As the story slowly slid into place, it was clear that not everything can be discerned from clues. Sometimes you need cold, hard facts, no matter how disturbing they may be.

Winnie, Nigel, Sam, and Juno have all struggled to live a happy, good life. Why each did what they did, though, most likely can’t be understood or put into logical order, especially for a reader who wouldn’t do what they did. But the comprehension of people’s actions cannot be reasoned out very often, so pull your thoughts tight and move on. This is what made the story disturbing, and it could very well be true. Who’s to say with what was presented? It made for an interesting read just the same.

It isn’t a can’t-put-down book, an unstoppable page-turner, but it keeps you reading just the same as you try to figure it all out. I liked the story because it wasn’t dull, slow, or crazy impossible. It was a sad story with troubled characters who are believable because the writing justifies their actions and keeps you reading.

I would recommend this to others. I only gave it 4 stars out of 5 because in my world, I need to know more. I want the characters to be understood and felt to the core, especially by the end of the book. There were too many unanswered questions for me, but I still enjoyed it.

Outworlder: A Star Wanderers Novelette By Joe Vasicek, A Book Review

 

This story was a quick read, of course, because it is a novelette, some would believe. But, in truth, some novelettes aren’t quick because the story is too poor to keep reading it, or it’s undeveloped, making it impossible to follow, or even want to.

This story was done well. The characters were developed as realistically as possible due to the space available, so I enjoyed them. Had this been a longer story, and the characters even more revealed, I would have loved them.

This book is a good, fun, and quick read. I am sure you will enjoy this one. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars

The Exception By Vi Keeland, A Book Review

 

I have read other books by Vi Keeland, and I have enjoyed every one of them. They are real stories, emotionally strong, and interesting. They aren’t written just to be explicit romance. Many of the more explicit romance books don’t have well-formed stories that embrace romance for the sake of romance and love. Hers are full of emotion, romance, and a great story to boot.

This story is no exception to the quality of her books. Well written, engrossing, and highly emotional, all of which lead to a great romantic story you’ll enjoy. The characters, Sutton and Jagger, are well-developed and enjoyable. They get tripped up on things from their past, which keeps the story interesting and endearing.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There are explicit sex scenes, so beware if you prefer less descriptive content. I would recommend all books by Vi Keeland, if you like romance, great stories, and a fun read. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars.

Slivers of Memory )Chosen Legends, #0) By A. J. Dasher, A Book Review

 

This was a fun read. The action and intrigue were non-stop. A page turner that didn’t end on the last page. Now I have to buy the sequel. Probably all of them.

The characters were being developed page after page, but leaving you wondering and yearning for more information. I love this type of writing. It keeps you glued to each page until there are no more to read.

Arctic, what a great name for this character. Once you read about him you will understand why. River, another awesome name for her. I have nothing bad to say about this book. The story, the writing, and the characters are all wonderful.

Buy this book if you like fantasy and intrigue. You will enjoy it. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
