Flame throat: Book 2: The Fire Mage Trilogy by Kate Bloomfield

  Avalon has returned to her hometown looking for her family. She is very concerned about them because of her sister's inability to flame as a Fire Mage should. Avalon never expects to find what she and Jack run into. The town has been ravaged by The Realm. They are taking families who are hiding humans. With some secreted coins her mother hid in the house, Avalon and her friend Jack decide to head to The Realm HQ and find her family.  Along the way, they will run into many more situations The Realm has caused. They will be tested by many obstacles. The question is, can they find her family alive and well AND remain friends?  Hard work and a deep faith in each other keep them going.  Avalon's personal feelings are tested deeply when a beauty seems to beguile Jack. He seems to be a totally different man with her, disregarding Avalon altogether. Jack's heart and feelings are tested when he comes face to face with his long lost father. It requires strength neither thought they had to make it through it all and save her family. It also might be the beginning of another chapter for them.

   OMG! What can I say! This second book in the trilogy takes off on wings and never sets you back down until the end. Even the end leaves you panting for the next installment of this series. The story is fantastic! Filled with action, passion and heart. The characters are more defined in this second book so that if you didn't already love them (and I did) you will now. You can't help but get caught up in this book. It feels as though you have to yell at the characters at times because you are certain they don't see what's coming. *grin*  I recommend this book, this series and this author! You will not be disappointed.  It has a touch of The Wizard of Oz, Cinderella and the best action movies. Get yours today!

    I found no issues.

    I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because it was a whirlwind from beginning to end and I loved it!

   

*****ATTENTION AUTHORS***

***About reviews***

I am not someone who gives in easily but I find for now I must. Until I get caught up some on reviews, I am no longer taking any new reviews on. I deeply apologize to the authors whose books I have on my list now for taking so long. I further apologize to those who had scheduled dates that I failed to meet. Please bear with me while I catch up, then I can once again take on reviews. Thank you!

Chop Shop by Gary Morton

   This book is a first person story in segments. It explores every day events in the person's life and his way of viewing those events.  Written more like poetry than a novel, this book explains why the first person doesn't believe in happily-ever-after. It delves deep into feelings that are not talked about. Take time to really read this one and listen to what the author is saying. I think you'll agree with some of it.


    Not a depressing book, but very close. The cover is a bit misleading in that it's not really a horror story.  This book is more poetry and bare bones common sense. The author gives us the unvarnished look deep into the minds of every day people. Discussing those thoughts no one likes to admit they may have had at one time, but they are there.  The writing is good and this one will appeal to those who enjoy books that  are way out of the box. It's interesting and completely different than anything you've ever read before. 


     I did find issues. I feel as though the book jumped around tremendously and changed topics as frequently as a bird's wings flap.  There was no consistency in numbering or naming of chapters which leads me to believe this book is pieces of other works by the author thrown into one book. 


    I gave this book a 3 because while I applaud the writing, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

MEET AUTHOR Gary Morton

    I’ve been asked to write a bio, but I have no idea what to write for it. I would tell you about my life and where I’m from, but I doubt that it would be very interesting. I’m a writer. I like words, particularly when they are put together in some semblance of order.

 I tend to put words onto paper and encourage other people to look at them, and hopefully they will like them. Most of what I write is quite dark and a bit twisted. I write about life and I’ve been described as ‘observing the world from a darkened corner’. I quite like that and I think it’s quite accurate.

I recently wrote a book called ‘Chop Shop’ and some nice (or perhaps misguided) publishing-type-people in Los Angeles called ‘Over the Edge Books’ decided to publish it. That makes it easier for you to look at the angry and disjointed words that I tend to put on paper.

You can get ‘Chop Shop’ on I Tunes and Kindle.

Kindle:  http://www.amazon.com/Chop-Shop-ebook/dp/B0072MQDP0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343228100&sr=8-1&keywords=gary+morton+chop+shop

I’m really pleased that this kind lady has said she would review my book and I hope that she likes it. I also hope that you like it too.

The Boy Who Flew With Eagles by Ben Woodard

    Naa'ki is a young boy who ventures into the world of the animals who live in the sky and woods around his village. With the help and education  of Mother Eagle and her children, the boy will soon learn what it takes to survive.  In a bargain with Mother Eagle, the boy says he will help care and feed her children if she teaches him to fly.  The bigger lesson will happen later in the book and it requires sacrifice on Naa'ki's part.


   I thought this book really brings to life the tales of the Native Americans. It also taught a lesson I think we all should know, to share.  I think Naa'ki was a brave boy to live through what he did. I really liked this book and I know most boys and girls will.


  I found no issues.


  I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because as a proud Native American this book did a great job of showing our cultures.

As Above ~ So Below: AChanneled, Assisted, Unfolding Story by Jeffrey M. Borowski

    Jeff and Brenda Borowski move back to Upstate New York after living in the desert of Arizona for years. In acclimating to the different weather and the old home they now own, they learn how to just be. With the help of some deep thoughts and soul searching, they feel as if they are in the best place they could be.  It's an emotional, fault- facing journey for Jeff but he does take the steps to reach his next "goal".


    This book will mean different things to each person who reads it but I'm certain everyone will take away something wonderful from it.  I found this to be thought - provoking, intelligent, down-to-earth and full of common sense.  I highly recommend this book to everyone. Open your mind, heart and eyes while reading this book.  


    I found no issues.


     I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because it teaches ideas we should already have.




"If you do not believe in abortion, don't have one. If you don't feel attracted to a person of the same gender, don't be with one in that manner. It's really none of anyone's business, but I am simply heterosexual, but if I wasn't, it sure wouldn't or shouldn't be any concern of yours, or anyone else's! If I believe in a different religious system, or none at all, that is no business of yours or any others!"

   Couldn't be more simple than that, yet we as a group don't think that way.
