Jane is a witch , she is the 6th daughter of the 6th daughter , She is a good witch who wants to share her magic, by making potions and writing spells and sharing and caring for her community and friends , family and all magical and none magical beings . So she opens a magic shop but everyone is against her , including her familiar. I love how Jane perseveres and keeps trying and tries again and again , she doesnt let all the negativity towards her business bring her down and stop her dreams from happening , I also liked how she wouldn't take any crap from a certain someone in the story (a Dragon shifter) also im not to keen on romances so im glad it wasnt a romance story , this was a good read , not the best ive ever had but something i may want to read again . loved the cat character as well , but didnt like in the beginning when the cat is so against her opning the store in the first place ,. very negative indeed , but loved janes character the most .

My Alien life was marvellous short story , it was about a young girl who's life was in turmoil, on the day of her fathers funeral her great aunt showed up ,and life again flowed along at a slow pace .
They had made a promise to each other , that she would look after the girl until she was 16 years old then she would leave this world . They had gone through a lot of stuff together gardening sewing , and talking a lot to each other , and they also nearly had to fight the government to keep this arrangement in place , but with help from the Deputy she managed to keep the girl and live happy for the remainder of time . This story was touching and heartfelt , and I fell in love with it , the meaning of family no matter how old you are , means a lot if they want to be part of your life . I will give this another read someday , as I feel it could be re read often . Family , love , rights , loss, help and tears , and a little bit of strangeness were all parts of this story . 5*and well recommended , loved it . Maria Preston’s review of My Alien Life: A Novelette | Goodreads OK read this in one sitting , as usual it helps breaks up thick novels i read , and takes me away from more serious reading , it has helped me in a reading slump and giving me inspiration for my own writing of poetry . My favourite poems in this book are , end of death , None , and Hone , which i thing i could of said most of them in this book . But i dont want to spoil it for you guys out there , knowing it was a great read and exciting and invigarating in many ways , because unlike some poetry out there this was more stimulating and exciting , it was warmth on a cold day or a breeze on a hot day ... just wonderful , absolutely wonderful poetry , i have read in a long time , ALSO well written and the length was just right . 4*/5* Ok i found it fast paced and the characters interesting especailly seba a very interesting courier , it wasnt my type of genre usually but i found he kept me in the loop at all times and i was pulled in when i thought it could not get more tense and exciting , the thrill of the chase , and the shooting i loved , i was sad in places after some deaths in the story , but i found the characters well thought out and the storyline was very detailed and seba definetly was my favorite character , i liked the fake reported . I loved how the author descibed the chasing through out the book and how far Kamal and Rahman would go to get there score . The chapters were not to long and they were well written .
a great read . yer , characters came to life as you read this book , there were some characters i hated and disliked throught especially towards the end like .But you just cant help but keep reading , i had to re read a few parts becuase i was unsure of a few things as i got lost on some pages , but thats my fault not the authors . I love Nigeria as the background for this story too . a thriller with a great story may consider other books in this genre from now on i loved this Novella , it was fast paced and exciting , and it just grabed my attention , i thought the characters and there powers were well thought out , the enemies were different unique
The world building was amazing and storyline was one of the best i have read in a while , obvisously i need to read more of this authors books . But overall , one of the best novellas i have read in a while , basically “Private Royn Crowell, is a Senturians , but he has been sent to this outpost where he is treated like an outcast , and then is sent on a mission , just to get rid of him ,yes he will be able to use his powers , and more than one , he has been sent to find the disturbances in the forest , and was told not to come back until he had found it , or could prove what it was , not a simple mission , and now the smell of death and what he finds in the cave not far away from the people who have been slaughtered Royn must not only fight whats outside in the forest but everytime he goes back to the captain at the oputpost it feels like hes fighting him too , as the captain does not listen to him . and when its to late its a fight to the death as the Senturians fight unknow creatures on there doorstep , and not only them there are orcs and other nasty creatures to fight as well , find the truth of what these monsters are up to and how they stop them . 4*/5* ok ,great read , id been meaning to read this for a while now , but just hadnt got round to it .
so the book , its one of those books you read that as soon as you start it , you are pulled into it straight away , a young girl , escapes the grasp of her con artist mother , she was also moulded to be a great con as well , for years by her mother , it is such a great story and characters are so well thought out along with the story line and the details make you wonder if the author was ever actually a con artist herself . Nora is put through test after test for her mother to con as many people as she can until her mother falls in love with the person they were suppose to con . after escaping her mothers grasp she has to put her true talents to work when the bank she visits is held up by bank robbers and she is held hostage , follow her through her expeiences and find out how she fights back gets her life back . As she has learnt so much from all the girls shes been , and she uses all of them when the time makes it impossible to only be one girl . great read , love the author . 5*/5* |
