New Blog on Books

Since my passion is books and words and all things written....I have decided to start my very own blog on books! I will review all books that I read and will also be happy to review and post about books that authors ask me to review for them.

About a week ago I read a book at the request of an author and wrote a review on his work, The Mormon Candidate by Avraham Azrieli. (you can find more about his work on www.AzrieliBooks.com) It was a fantastic read and I let the author know how much I enjoyed the book and also thought his work quite worthy of being on the best seller list. Today in the mail, came review copies of four of his other  works. I was felt such joy at receiving the books and excitement to delve into reading the books that it inspired me on to finally create my blog!

Part of the review on The Mormon Candidate follows:

If you like reading David Baldacci and Dan Brown you will absolutely love this book! The Mormon Candidate includes exciting plot twists, interesting characters and well-researched and detailed historical facts. I found this book to be an extremely quick read...just couldn't put it down! I was impressed with the amount of detail, as well as the fast-paced plot. This book has all the ingredients to make a "Best Seller". The beginning chapter did not immediately draw me in...but give it a chance, once you delve into the book you won't want to put it down. The book reminded me of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code with both an exciting mystery plot tied in with interesting historical detail. This book is a political thriller following reporter Ben Teller, a photographer/journalist that happens upon a mystery in the making as he photographs an accident scene. What follows is a plot full of twist and turns with a few twists you don't even see coming! Interesting details about the Mormon religion as well, although members of the LDS church may not be happy with the information. Loved the book, can't wait to read more from this author!

BOOK REVIEW: Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King

I was on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting the release of this book, Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King. Being a huge fan of Tiffany King's work, I  had high expectations for it. I was not disappointed in the least -- this book exceeded my expectations! Tiffany King is a true wordsmith and this may even be her most brilliant work yet. (And that is quite a  statement considering her body of work is spot on, heart-felt and engaging). The story follows a teenage girl, Kimberly, who finds out about a father that she did not even know was alive until she turned 18 when her mother first revealed his existence. The adventure begins when Kimberly travels off to spend time with her new found father in Colorado. What she doesn't realize is that she will be spending time at his camp for foster children in the rugged Colorado Rocky Mountains. Kimberly, a new high school graduate and budding artist from California, arrives in Colorado, discovers that she is ill-equipped for both the terr

BOOK REVIEW: Fragile by M. Leighton

Fragile by M. Leighton was a recommended read by a friend, a fantastic author herself. I fell in love with the book and the writing within, almost immediately! The storyline involves a football-playing high school heartthrob, a teenaged boy named Hardy. Hardy appears to have it all; a gorgeous cheerleader girlfriend, a successful football career, popularity and friends galore. Hardy, however, has aspirations that may differ from the football scholarship path his father has planned for him. Enter a girl named Miracle. Hardy first happens upon Miracle in a park where she is about to release a red balloon...something meaningful to her (which plays into the storyline), but instead gives it away to a little boy that desperately wants it. Miracle is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. She also happens to be a very sick girl. The story moves on from there. Hardy encounters quite a few life changing experiences. This story is so beautifully scripted and the characte
