Holy moly! This was an amazing read! I read this in less than 24 hours. I just couldn't put it down. Anne drops her life in the states and runs off to London to escape having to testify in court against an ex-lover accused of sexual assault, who also happened to be her college professor. On the plane to London Anne meets Bain. Under the assumed name of Tessa, Anne decides to stay with Bain at the old and decrepit house in which he's staying. The problem is... this house has more than just creaky walls and dusty floors lurking in it's shadows. Will Anne ever make it out of there alive once she's entered? Or will the house decide her fate?
Excellently written. The story is well thought out and very well put together. A little slow at the start but by about 40% of the way through it picks up a sledge hammer and nails you! This book had me gripped til the end. Characters were perfectly developed and more than believable, they seemed to jump off the page (or screen in my case). I dare say, this has to be one of the best horror novels I've ever read and coming from a horror fanatic like myself, that's a pretty BIG compliment! I am going to have to get a paper copy of this one for my library and I would definitely recommend this book to all who enjoy a bit of creepiness in their lives.

Reincarnated Lady Neva has been taken from the human world she knew and thrust into a strange world of vampires. She is the only one who can liberate her newly found brethren in a long standing war. She quickly finds that she is the enemy's main target. Can she triumph and protect her knew family while still looking after her old kin?
Great adventure in this Anne Rice meets Underworld tale of vampiric war. Very well written. This was a very enjoyable read. The recounts of Lady Neva are written on par with the great tales of The Vampire Lestat. I thought it was very interesting how the vampires had made a conscious decision to not drink human blood. Very Louis de Pointe du Lac. LOL A great addition to the story was the ending. A great tie in to the Dracula mythos. Very well done. A great book for all vampire lovers! I highly recommend this book. Written completely for the layman, this is a nice and fluffy beginners book on energy and energy workings. The author is careful to Define specific terms and also gives several examples of their uses. The author compares energy cleansing to good hygiene or to cultivating a garden. She goes over several techniques for clearing energy and pertains them to the five elements. This book takes you step-by-step and month to month on preparation, tools, and practice. The author uses her experience as a tarot reader to explain how to manifest change using personal energy.
The author takes a graceful approach and explains things in a very concise and gentle manner. By the end of the book you are feeling strong and empowered. Like you can move mountains with your mind. Good read. Highly recommend! Love is fickle isn't it? Especially when you're in high school. Even more especially when you're dating the guy that all the girls have crushes on. That's how it is for Emme. She's dating Brendon, a congressman's son and the hottest guy in school. With having been hurt badly from a previous relationship is it possible for her relationship with Brendon to work even though it seems they come from different worlds? Or is the relationship doomed to crash upon the rocks? Perhaps their destiny is written in the stars.
This book was more than well written. It was captivating and showed great ingenuity. The storyline was exceedingly simple which may have been one of the best things about the book. The author is creative and shows a biting wit that even the most shallow person would crack a smirk about. This book was very entertaining all the way to the end. I found myself remembering how it was to be their age. Life was crazy and I found myself relating a lot to the main character. This was definitely a work well done. Bravo! I will be recommending this book. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Something about bad dreams or something??? Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening... It's over.
Strike ✌️ for this author. A great childhood favorite. Mrs. Frisby has a horrible problem... she must move her family before the farmer plows the field and destroys their home. The problem is one of her children is deathly ill and cannot be moved. So she seeks out the Rats of NIMH for help. Can the super intelligent rats of NIMH help her move her home before it is too late?
Great writing and great story. Very different from the 1990s Don Bluth film. There is no magic and Jeremy (the crow) is a much more wise and sophisticated being. However in my personal opinion I like both. This is a fabulous little story no matter how you tell it really. This is great for younger readers or for adults who wish to look back on their childhood. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone! Shamanic practices and ceremonies that are done through the American Indian traditions. This book gives you a step-by-step in the process of shamanic journeying beginning with the question "what is a ceremony?" It takes you through having the proper mental mindset, preparing yourself physically, actually conducting the ceremony itself and some additional guidelines. Lastly the book goes over personal testimonies of people who have performed ceremonies of their own.
The author presents this book in a very loving and spiritual manner. It is beautifully written. Everything is very easy to read and follow. You do not have to be a skilled shaman to follow this book. I highly recommend this book to those who are looking to improve their ceremonial skills. The book introduces you first to the stigmas and current thoughts on PTSD and what it is derived from. It also goes over the structures of the brain and which portions are affected by PTSD.
There are exercises or as the book calls them "experiments" in relaxation techniques to assist with the symptoms of PTSD. The author presents the book almost like a workbook. The exercises use yoga & cognitive therapy which is the cutting edge in psychology right now. This book is extremely helpful for anyone who suffers from PTSD, panic attacks or anxiety attacks. I would highly recommend this book! |
