Pretty Girl by Amy Heugh

August 28, 2014

Book Review Graphic Pretty Girl by Amy Heugh was a good book. I did find that I got bogged down in the details at times but that isn’t always a bad thing. I did fall in love with the characters and just want things to work out for both. I think she nailed how high school is for certain people and it made the story even more real to me. Even though I did get lost in some of the details in the book I loved the characters and I hope that she will do a follow-up book so we can see where the characters end up.

About The Book

If there were one day that she could change it would be the day she was taken.

After her parents’ divorce, seventeen-year-old Izzy Scott and her mother move to the old town of St. Augustine to begin a new life, a life beyond the media attention and the memories of the traumatic experiences that left an everlasting affect on their family.

The former ballerina is trying to adjust to the outside world without suffering a panic attack and exposing who she is – all while getting through her senior year at a new school. That’s easy to say until she meets local boy Mason Winchester, a boy with a tragic past.

Mason has a reputation for violence, but a love for motorcycles. At the age of eleven he lost his mother to cancer and from then he has been running from something, but could never really get away.

Like any other angry teenager, he just wants to be left alone and to have nothing to do with anyone else because he believed that he had nothing to offer. That changes the moment he saw what was in the new girl eyes.

Tragedy wasn’t new to either of their lives but among the secrets and the memories the one thing they both never excepted was to find hope.

*This book is recommended for readers 18+ for violence, language, and some adult situations.*

August 19, 2014

In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin was another great book in this series. If you haven’t read my reviews on the first two books you can click here and here to read them. Anyway let’s get on to this book. Like I said before I loved this book but I knew going into it that I would love it because of the other 2 books. This book was hard for me to get into right at the start but once I was a few chapters into the story I didn’t want to put it down. I wasn’t a huge fan of Kay from the other books but this book changed my mind about her. I fell in love with her during this book and she became my favorite character. I also loved how the wrapped up the first two books in this one because it was great to get to see what was happening with the characters from the first 2 books. If you love historical fiction books I know you will love this book because I did and I am so glad that I got it to review.

Reach For Your Light by Ces Creatively

August 6, 2014

Reach For Your Light by Ces Creatively was an interesting book to read. I am still not sure how I really feel about this book but that is okay with me. I really did enjoy the author’s style of writing but there were times where things almost seemed rushed. There were times where I got confused because of the supernatural parts of the book but I believe that is because I am not a huge fan of supernatural books but that didn’t make me want to stop reading the book. Other than those times this was a good book to read and something that I am glad that I read.

About The Book

Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she’d vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled-or maybe yanked-away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.

Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.

Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace’s faith will face its toughest test yet.

The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron

July 31, 2014

The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron was an amazing book. I do have to say that this book was hard for me to get through at certain parts because of how the story goes but that also is another reason that I loved the book. I love all books from the WWII time period and this book didn’t let me down at all. If you are going to read this book be prepared for it have sad parts but I wouldn’t let those parts stop me from reading this book. It is one that I am going to keep in my collection because I loved it that much.

About The Book

A mysterious painting breathes hope and beauty into the darkest corners of Auschwitz—and the loneliest hearts of Manhattan.

Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl—a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes.

In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover, the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogul, who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together, Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting’s subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.

A darling of the Austrian aristocracy, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, Adele risks everything when she begins smuggling Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire.

As Sera untangles the secrets behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely of places: in the grim camps of Auschwitz and in the inner recesses of her own troubled heart.
