Back to the 70's

I finished reading Rosy (Dreams Can Become Nightmares) by Suzanne Tyrpak last night.  Set in New York during the 70's, Rosy struggles wanting to be an actress and independent  from her father.  Finding herself with bills that need paying and no job, she accepts an offer to become a pole dancer. Where the more she makes the more she finds that she needs. An innocent young girl from a small town, she fast finds herself getting mixed up into a world she knows nothing about, drugs, sex, violence, and some very unsavory characters. As in real life she meets a few men who don't have her best interest at heart and some that want to be her guardian angel. She just needs to learn spot the difference.

A fun book with recipes

I just finished reading Letters from Wishing Rock: A Novel With Recipes  by Pam Stucky, and loved it! So much fun, made me want to move to Wishing Rock.  Delightful characters, Ruby, Erin Pip, Ed, Jake, Pip, Millie, and one of my favorites Gran to name a few will keep you entertained through the emails and texts to each other. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the shenanigans. The recipes are just icing on the cake. I look forward to more from the Wishing Rock Gang.

Back in time with....

I have just finished reading Living Half Free by Haley Whitehall. I was taken back in time to the the dreadful days of slavery. I felt mixed emotions reading this book. I felt anger, terror, and dread, as I read of the sadistic abuse. I cried, and rejoiced,along with Zachariah as he struggles along. Was extremely happy for him when he found love with the Cherokee woman, Lillian. Haley Whitehall has done an excellent job of bringing this story to life.

Another Good Read - Illuminate-Alive, She Cried by Jamie Haden

"Illuminate-Alive, She Cried"by Jamie Haden 

was a very good paranormal read. The  granddaughter of a Shaman, Talisha Santiago goes to live with a clan of the Cherokees in the Smokey Mountains. So many secrets for her to uncover. Interesting characters, Native American beliefs, customs, shapeshifters, and danger lurked in the mountains. 

This was a real page turner, I couldn't put it down until I finished it.   

I enjoyed "Illuminate-Alive, She Cried" and would recommend it to anyone who likes a paranormal story or wants to read about Native Americans.

 Looking forward to the next book!

My only regret is that I didn't read 

Spirit Seeker (Book One of the Talisa Santiago Series)

 first, now I want to go and read it as well :)
