Vampire Hollows by Tim O’Rourke {Read Feb. 2012}

 
I would first like to start with a huge THANK YOU to Tim O’Rourke for such an awesome series.  I fell in love with each book.  Vampire Hollows is the fifth (and final) book in the Kiera Hudson Vampire Shift series by Tim O’Rourke.  I was extremely anxious for this book and I am extremely happy to say Tim did not disappoint.  It was very difficult to put down.  The book (just like others of the series) was wonderful.  It was excellently written.  I have to say this was by far the most emotional book of the series; I felt like I was on a roller coaster.  The action was non-stop.  As I said in my review of Vampire Breed (#4), I had my own suspensions and I actually have to say I was RIGHT! 
I had suspicions since book #2 and although I was often swayed to think in a different direction the thought was always in the back ground.  I love (love, love) the way the book ended and opened up for Kiera’s next series Dead Flesh.  Tim O’Rourke is an amazing author and this book proves why he has moved himself into my list of top authors.  I highly recommend this book (and series) and give it a 5 (+) out of 5 stars.   I look forward to reading more of Tim’s books and more about Kiera Hudson.

*Side note: I am completely honored to be listed in the “Thanks to:” at the beginning of the book. 
Super exciting!

Compulsion by Kymberlee Burks-Miller {Read Feb. 2012}


Compulsion is the first novel by writer Kymberlee Burks-Miller.  This book is filled with witch craft, vampires, romance and family unity.  The novel follows Lilyann Moon. Through a tragedy she is forced into a destiny she is completely uncertain of.  Through her family, friends, and a surprise love she finds her way and saves more than herself.  I love the way the book was written and fell in love with the characters. I had a hard time putting this book down.  It was a great read. I felt a personal connection with the novel because of my own closeness to my cousins.  I also love that the end was left open for another novel and the possibility of a series.  I can’t wait to read more about Lilyann, Mason and the entire Moon Coven.  I also can’t wait to read more from the amazing Kymberlee Burks-Miller.  I would defiantly recommend the book and give it 5 of 5 stars.

Sparkle’s Song by Samantha Hale {Read in Jan. 2012}


This story was wonderfully illustrated.  It was a very touching story of heart-ache and in a way about finding happiness in a dark time.  There were parts that personally were very sad and would seem difficult to explain to a child.  It was a great story.  I think it would be more for kids older than five.  For a children’s book I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The Goblin and the Girl by Neil Irani {Read in Jan. 2012}


I found this to be a very touching story and perfect for any children who are uncertain about themselves or have any questions on self image. It is wonderfully written and illustrated.  I also think that this book can really help many children in how they view themselves.  I would think it to be more for elementary aged kids.  For a children’s book I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Will be available Feb. 2012

Remembering Zane by J.S. Wilsoncroft {Read Feb. 1, 2012}


This was a great novella about love after tragedy.  I couldn’t put it down.  High school friends are brought back together by a death that changes the course of their lives forever.  This was a very emotional read on many levels.  It was greatly written and flowed extremely well.  I found myself wanting to read more about their high school days as well as their future life.  It is a great story of finding love through obstacles of life and has a very touching ending.  This was a great romantic read.  I can’t wait to read more from J.S. Wilsoncroft.  I would definitely recommend it and give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
