BOOK REVIEWS

Illusion (A Novella) by Edmond Cheng  (Rating 3.5)
MS Fiction Presents “Unearthed” An Anthololgy of Suspense
ISSN 1555 Vol. 109-22ED
At the request of the author, a PDF copy was sent at no cost to me for my honest review.
  Synopsis: Thomas Chen is visited by his longtime friend Jonathan’s mother who delivers a warning about Jonathan But how can that be since she passed away 2 months ago. Visions and severe headaches are plaguing Thomas’ brain. Could these visions be the result of demons, or maybe physical and/or psychological in nature.
  Synopsis: Was skeptical at first but as I continued reading I found myself wanting to read more. The author’s detailed written words allowed this reader to form graphically vivid thoughts. The plot was suspenseful and held my attention to the end. However, I felt that the dialogue between characters were simplistic.
  My Rating: 3.5 I gave this rating due to the dialogue and at times somewhat confusing at what the author was trying to convey. However, the suspense and detailed words were very enjoyable. This is a new author but this reader feels that with more writing experience, this will not be his last book.

DISCLAIMER
I received a PDF copy of this book, at no charge to me,
in exchange for my HONEST review.
No items that I receive
are ever sold…they are kept by me,
or given to family or friends.

Wishing all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!!

OK…I need to get off this computer…..I just found another great book blog site with a fantastic challenge that I had to sign up for.  The site is So Many Precious Books, So Little Time.  It consists of reading books that a person has won from other sites.  I am guilty…I have those on my shelves and since it can be a crossover, I have signed up for the Bronze Level 4-6 books.  If this challenge is for you…head on over to that site.  Email is http://teddyrose.blogspot.com

Almost Dead by Lisa Jackson (Rating 5)
Ebook purchased by me
  Cissy Cahill Holt’s life is in chaos.  She is a single parent of a toddler, is in the process of a divorce and her mother, who she never had a great relationship with, has escaped from prison.  Cissy maintains a tolerable relationship with her grandmother, the matriach of the Cahill fortune, until Cissy finds her murdered.  As the police try and locate her mother, more members of her family are turning up dead.
  This book was a white knuckle, fast paced, can’t put down read with chapters that at times had me gasping in surprise.  Am definitely looking forward to reading another Lisa Jackson book.

Talk & Thoughts

Off to wrapping presents and then reading and finishing my current read.  But first…was thinking… I  have met my 3 personal challenges, getting my site up and running, joining in and entering reading challenges for 2010 and accepting requests for reviews.  For 2010 I am going to follow in J.Kaye’s foot steps of J.Kaye’s Book Blog.  That being, more reading and less computer, so I have signed up for 2 more challenges.  Have entered RYOB for 10 books and Royal Reviews Romance challenge at the Curious Level of 3 books.  I better make sure that I have spare reading glasses on hand lol.  

Thank you
