Forged By Greed by Angela Orlowski-Peart

Two Seattle 16-year-old Shape Shifters, Jatred and Jasmira, are torn between following their hearts and protecting the order of the world. The path of the star-crossed lovers leads only to destruction. The ancient Shape Shifter Races—the Winter wolves and the Summer leopards— live among humans and fit perfectly into modern life, while keeping secret societies with their own laws and traditions. Two Goddesses, Crystal and Amber command their respective Races. One is on a quest to tilt the scale of power to her side. The other will never let it happen, even if it means sacrificing Jatred and Jasmira’s love. The Amulet commissioned to bring stability into the world remains hidden and concealed with the help of advanced technology. Jatred is the guardian of the Amulet and key to the Goddesses’ conflict. The forces of nature are disrupted. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions rake the world. The Goddesses go to war and summon all their Shifters to join in the conflict. Jatred and Jasmira must fight not only for their love but to protect the future of both Races and humankind.

Goblins Spells Unicorns By: Christina Worrell (Author), Raven Worrell (Author), and Ashley Lane (Illustrator)

Goblin Spells Unicorns

Good VS Evil; Good Always Wins!, September 22, 2012

I received a smashwords copy in return for an honest review.

I would have to agree with another review I read of Goblins, Spells and Unicorns, if I could give it 10 Stars I would!

What makes a children's book enjoyable to children? Is it the life lessons they learn while reading it? Is it a certain understanding that they should not do whatever the "bad people" in the story are doing? Or is it more about the pictures, the adventures, and the "good people" saving the day?

Now, on the other hand, what makes an adult enjoy a children's book? Is it the pictures or is the life lessons that they know their children are learning, whether they realize it or not? Do parents always look for the stories that are funny, easy to read, and simple or are they more concerned about the ideas and the creativity the book has to offer?

What if you could find a book that encompasses both schools of thought? It would be a book that spoke to the children through the pictures, the adventure, and the "good people" saving the day; as well as to the parent's idea of having a life learning experience and a story that would spark new ideas and creativity in their children.

If you are reading this review then you have come to the right place to find all of these ideas and so much more. Christina Worrell (Author), Raven Worrell (Author), and Ashley Lane (Illustrator) have put together, in my opinion, the ideal children's book. It is a story that speaks to both, children and grown-ups! It has life lessons about being greedy, lazy, and dishonest but it also has a couple of "bad" characters that accidentally make some "good" characters that are, in the end, able to save themselves from the "bad's" clutches.

This is an awesome story written and illustrated by three really awesome people. I do hope you take the time and money to sit and read this wonderful children's book. I know you will not be disappointed! Enjoy!

The Unsacred Gift by C.S. Dorsey

What do you do when you wake up from a dream that felt so real that you can smell the salt from the water and you reach up to touch your hair and find that it wasn't just some random dream because there is a real leaf tangled in your hair? What do you do when you realize that the "visions" you have when someone touches you is the "vision" of their death? How do you tell your friends, your family, and even have any type of real life? Is it even possible to have to struggle through so much alone? Have you been blessed with a gift or a curse?
So many questions. C.S. Dorsey weaves a tale of  a girl that is lonely because she is afraid of being close to anyone. Sissy has even pushed her family away for fear of their lives and not her own. Dorsey uses God, love of family, and the bonds of friendship to create a world where her readers can escape to. She allows you to learn not only about her characters but a little about yourself as well if you know where to look or have your heart open enough. The Unsacred Gift is a wonderful story that should be read and shared with others. It is too good to pass up and earns Five Stars from this reviewer! Please take a few and check out her blog and Facebook pages. I know you will be as pleased as I was!

Have you ever had a dream that came to life? How about losing the one you love and  not being able to save them? What about a gift that you were cursed with? Well image having all three like Sicily "Sissy" Monroe."Some might say what I have is a gift. I say, I want to return it." Sissy declares.

 Sicily "Sissy" Monroe has all the qualities of a perfect young lady. She is almost where she wants to be in life. But lying deep in the pupil of her eyes hold something that she cannot get rid of which interferes with her plans. She fights everyday with no one but herself. After having her first vision at age six of her sister's (Misty) disappearance and the dreams of failing to save her, Sissy wants no part in another person's fate. For years Sissy tried hard to avoid contact with people because she feared foreseeing their death. In keeping with this, she tries to stay away from her family. Little did Sissy know she could not run from her past, or her gift. She hopes someone will put her out of her misery, but she will soon discover that her visions and dreams were just a mere image of herself.

Bishop and the Pixies by Nathaniel Parkinson

		Bishop and the Pixies Book One: The Hunt Begins
A Butler, 3 Ornery Pixies, and Guns!, September 18, 2012

What do you get when you put a British Butler, 3 ornery Pixies, a witch, and some guns and ammunition? A whole lot of laughs, shenanigans, and pixie bombs everywhere!
Bishop and the Pixies is a super spin off of H.P. Mallory's Jolie Wilkins Series and even if you haven't read any of the Jolie books you can still pick up Bishop and the Pixies and enjoy a really awesome story!
Mr. Parkinson takes the characters created in H.P.'s book and expands them into their own little world. So while Bishop really is a British Butler he is so much more. Having served in the military during several wars as a member of the Special Forces, Bishop is well versed in the art of covert operations. When Mark Twain turns up dead (for real this time) Bishop and the Pixies are sent to New England to investigate and find the culprits. What they do find is something none of them were prepared for. Not only does Bishop find the love of his life and one of the few people that are immune to magic, the Pixies steal (but forced to return) a pair of white tiger cubs and fall in love with a Moose and they are all surprised by the "new" magical entities that have turned up. Bishop calls in reinforcements by joining his retired, special forces team and the entire network of Pixies. Every magical being, including some Congressmen and woman and even a governor or two have all been forced into hiding because  of the threat from the "new" magical entities.
This is a fantastic book, with loveable characters and laughs on every page! If you need a good book to read while on vacation, waiting on the bus, or just a rainy day book then this is the book for you.
Please check it out and beware if you decide you don't like it: The Pixies WILL find you and your house may never look the same. They have a tendency to really like polka dots!
