Daughter of Poseidon ; war on the gods .
I though the descriptions and story line were both enticing and really pulled me in to the story , I love the characters so far , but hopefully will meet more and of the same ones in book one , and with the witch Hecate goddess of the crossways and of the witches and of ghosts, she is one of my favorite goddesses . You can't go wrong with stories from myth or at least based on stories from myth , and characters from mythology . Demi goddess Syrena , As since the death of her little sister pearl , not even a year ago now , Syrena has found the gods to be mean and treat the kids of the gods badly , she sets out with the help of Diana her friend , both Demi goddesses , to talk with the fates to see if they in some way can fulfil the prophecy , or help the prophecy be fulfilled by summoning the chosen two to help . They are both leaving friends and family behind as well as loved ones, to may be never see them again , or even to the death for their decisions . And Just to see if they can change the way the world is a long with the rules and beliefs they have been falsed to follow and to change the gods in some way . Even though this is a short introduction to the story , before getting into the book 1 and book 2 . I thoroughly enjoyed the read and will definitely read book one and two . so if you like gods and monsters , and flying horse Pegasus you will love this book , and all books related to this one . I also love the cover , its very pretty , and not to young for the Y A reader or adult reader . 4/5*

Barrack Five: A Holocaust Story (Book 1 of the Barracks Series) by Elyse Hoffman (Goodreads Author)17/11/2020 Firstly this book is only 40 ish pages long , so if you are looking for a short good read , then I definitely recommend this one . It was a fascinating story , one of which I always love to read about , it wasn't boring or fast paced , or even slow . It is a historical fiction Novelette and it was so worth the read . It was set in the Holocaust Nazi Germany , a bit sad in places , but just enough to keep me interested . Basically a young man (Vilem ) gets a job of looking after the concentration camp which is in barrack five ,he is told to keep it clean and tidy on his watch other wise he could be fired , and that includes no graffiti by any teens wondering around the grounds . On his watch . he heard a noise , went to investigate and found graffiti on the wooden walls , he thinks he had missed someone on the grounds and decided he wanted to find out who had done it ,the next day ,he finds more graffiti on the same wall as before . He is then contacted by a teen spirit , wanting to tell him of its experiences in the concentration camp and why it hasn't moved on yet . Raya is the spirit , and she has been stuck here because she has so much to tell someone . I cant really say more than this because as it was only a short book , it will give to much away . Or you need to know is , its a good read , friendship between Raya and Vilem and how he helps her . Some ghosts don't stay quiet and just want to be heard and not forgotten Would read book 2 for sure . 4*/5* I wasn't looking to get a vegan diet , just to look at a more healthy option of adding some deserts and snacks to my diet .
Just this book was a quick read , and made me realize that I haven't including many fruits and veg to my diet as it is . For someone that eats Meat , ii wanted to add excitement to my existing menu , and to cater for everyone , this book is for plant based meals , snacks , dips , soups , wraps , and more , it explains how to balance the intake of your proteins in this plant based diet . It helps you focus on the things you need to focus on , and the things you need not to focus on . Helping you create a meal plan , for you and your routines and how not to stray away . I liked the parts of this book which gives you the health benefits like low blood pressure , great for heart and the not so health benefits like low iron , and maybe other Deficiencies , because we all need to know what will be missing in a plant based diet , and what we will get out of it too . i thought this part was very well done . I also like deserts so to see that there were some options was great too . It has great recipes , and nice pictures they are of good quality and bright too, so you can see exactly what you will be eating . Like eggless omelette , vegan baked beans and more . so overall great book , i loved the recipes and preparations for each meal . great book , will use it wisely to add to my lifestyle . recommend to anyone who likes or loves the plant based diets , or to someone like me that just wants to add more healthy eating options to their existing diet already . loved the book . This book has Ambition , power struggle , mer folk , friendship , love , and more
Anya of Ark I thought this book was excellent , what a great fantasy book , and no lie , it made me get excited to read on and on every page , I'm not usually one to take a long time reading a book unless I'm ill , so usually up to 3 weeks if I find I'm very busy in that week . Not a slow book , so that's good , I found it fast paced just enough to keep you hooked in all the right places . Anya is a special youngster , strong at heart , wanting to be more than what she is allowed , life on the ark , is hard especially when you can be someone you want to be ,I loved the adventure Anya went on to really find herself and her strengths , she also became apart of something much bigger than what she was used to . And even though when she lost so much , she found so much more , anya was not happy on the ark and wanted to discover and go places that ashe knew were restricked , . The characters I loved the most were pearl , halli . and her brother jake, her aunt and uncle , and a few others , I love her power under the sea . I do think it was a bit sad at times but that's mostly because I'm always emotional , I'm glad in the end that her struggle was not as heavy as it was in the beginning of the book . she faces hardship , sorrow , friendship and family and love in this new world she has now become part of , but their is always something missing , and when she finds it , it makes her re think of everything she has lost . I recommend this to every one what ever the age . I will re read this book , but next time in paper back form ,as I love holding the book which to me adds to the experience . I don't want to leave I long review for this book , as I'm scared I might give to much away . and you really need to read it for yourself sorry for any spelling mistakes on the names of the characters , I will come back and correct them . Great Book , 4**** / 5***** for sure ok first of all , the first few chapters i thought were a bit slow to taking off , but believe me , it picks up pace rapidly , so being a teacher never prepared him for this life and rules of living and how your life can been suddenly taken away and replaced with something you are not sure about or even believe it is really for you or you in fact , A vampire lord and magician , but at first he didn't know it ,and was struggling with just being a vampire, it was bad enough coming to terms with being a vampire and setting out new routines and living by the rules of the dead or vampires . I loved sasha she was amazing too , she took care of him and helped him come to terms with the way he was and she feed him and sexed him , always there for his needs . I enjoyed this book even though it was longer than i had expected , i loved the characters and the story line , basically he can do anything , healing growing extra limbs and could take down an army or two ,he was my favourite character, I never wanted this book to end , it is the first book i have read in this series , and from this author. slipping into another world , his adventure takes you to new places through portals , finding love and losing love, big adventures in a fantasy world , vampires elves and so on,with magic , it's got it all , really can't say to much as i will spoil it for you guys , just that I loved every second of it , will re read again ,and probably again ,as i feel there were times i never took it all in, so a re read will be like reading it again for the first time .so im looking forward to the next time. the book was well written and exciting in more than one place . definitely recommend reading especially if you love fantasy magic , vampire genre novels . 4 out of 4 rating for sure **** ok I love this tracker book planner , you can start a new year with , a tracker to suit most your needs and even track your moods ,water , and other , here in this blog I have been given a code for you to use ,10% off your first order from now till Christmas , so please go check out this site , at , calendar club and get 10% off your first order now , great planners , books trackers and calendar's , and friendly staff . code for 10% off is as follows A1321 www.calendarclub.co.ukwww.calendarclub.co.uk/lifestyle/fitness-and-health/mood-tracker-a5-diary-2021-r263000 FLIP THROUGH ON MY INSTAGRAM . maria.preston44 and one of the best things about this place are the prices guys , reasonable prices |
