Glistening Haven by Jill Cooper Book Review

glistening-haven-199x300

I’ve been reading Glistening Haven by Jill Cooper over the last few days. I have to say the book was very unexpected. Even reading the description before I started didn’t show me what a unique story Glistening Haven was going to be. There were so many cool, unexpected twists and turns to this story! I really had no choice but to get sucked into the story and the lives of the characters.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the book:

Susan and her family live in New Haven 56. It appears to be a tranquil 1950s styled community to the rest of the world. But monster that lurks inside Susan, and every one of her superficially perfect neighbors, held in check by the oppressive police state that rules over New Haven 56.

Susan happy life is torn apart when her teenage son goes missing the same night an explosion rips apart the community. Susan knows it’s only a matter of time before the police start breaking down their doors.

Before the reconditioning begins and Susan’s identity is lost, she must do one final thing.

Find her son.

At first I was a little worried, there are quite a few characters and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep them straight. They all started to fall into place after the first couple chapters, and I was drawn right into the story. Then I couldn’t put it down!

This is a very unique book, not like anything I’ve ever read before, and I’ve read a ton of books! I love it when I pick up a book and it’s completely unexpected in a good way. I hope there is more to the Glistening Haven story, I’m not ready to be finished with these characters yet!

I would definitely read more by Jill Cooper! I give this book thumbs up all the way around.

Shifty BusinessShifty Business (Bend-Bite-Shift Trilogy Book 3)

Gerry Hinton thought she had the perfect career as an operative for the Company. Her next assignment should have been another “mission accomplished”, but hell was delivering hand baskets that day.

When a little girl gives a mysterious silver box to Gerry, her world self-destructs. Suddenly under constant mental attacks, the only person who can save her is her partner, Nicky–but nothing comes without a cost. Secrets buried deep in the past begin to rise, threatening everything she holds dear.

If she can’t out run her past, can she save her future?

About Author Olivia HardinOlivia Hardin

About the Author – Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She’s also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she’s generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie.

Enlightened by Melissa Lummis Book Review

Enlightened-194x300

I’m a complete believer we are all connected by an energy. When you think about someone special in your life, and the next thing you know they’re calling you or stopping by, or even some of the powers of positive thinking and prayer. I enjoyed Enlightened by Melissa Lummis because it explores that connection.

Here’s a quick summary of the book:

Loti Dupree fears that when her husband died, she lost her soul. Harboring a painful secret, she flees her life in a small Appalachian town for the ashram, the spiritual retreat where she trained to be a yogini. But she is running from more than grief. An ominous nightmare the night before she leaves sets her on a dangerous path of self-discovery that challenges everything she believes – and threatens her life.
While dodging psychic attacks from an unknown assailant, she struggles with her growing attraction to a broody, handsome and completely frustrating vampire. Loti races to understand who and what she is before her anonymous enemy catches up with her.

Loti thought she couldn’t survive her husband’s death, but among healers, witches, and vampires, she discovers not only a future, but a family.

Enlightened is part one in the Love and Light Series. I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. I fell in love with Loti’s character from the start of the book.

Enlightened is a paranormal book, so it delves into vampires in a different way than any other paranormal book I’ve read. This book definitely combines a unique combination of characters! Where else can you find hippies, vampires, witches and yoginis all in one book?

The best part is it works! I couldn’t put the book down from start to finish! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens!

Buy It: Kindle or Paperback

I received an ebook copy of Enlightened to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

About the Author

Melissa Lummis considers herself a truth seeker, a peaceful warrior, a paranormal and fantasy writer, an avid reader, a thru-hiker GAàME ’98, a wife, a mother, and a free thinker. She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer. And if we live our lives as if it is a daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us.

The author lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute and a myriad of forest creatures. The nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane. Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the space-time continuum. Namaste, dear friends.

Shadow Cay By Leona Bodie Book Review

I recently had the opportunity to read Shadow Cay a new contemporary thriller by Leona Bodie. It was a very suspenseful book, and it definitely kept me on the edge of my sat, I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen to the characters next!

Here’s a quick summary of Shadow Cay by Leona Bodie:

Madeleine sees small bits of her future. When she’s still young she has a premonition a boat she is on will sink. Her premonition comes true, and she’s saved by a young man named Peter who will later be a part of her destiny.

Just before her 17th birthday she again sees danger before her family anchors in the Southern Bahamas one night in a moonlit cove. She tries to warn her mom and dad, but they brush her off. When they reach the cove Madeleine discovers someone wants to make sure her family never makes it out of paradise alive. The double murder of her parents shatters the only security she’s ever known. Madeleine is forced into a very difficult situation, just to survive. She vows to get revenge on the men who destroyed her family.

Peter and Madeleine’s lives cross again when they’re both fighting for justice against those who have wronged them. ‘Shadow Cay’ is a contemporary thriller about the bravery of those determined to fight injustice.

I had a hard time at the beginning of the book getting all the characters straight, but when I started the book I only had small chunks of time to read. When you start this book I would recommend sitting down and taking the time to get through the first few chapters in one sitting! Once I got the characters straight I loved the way they developed, and the way the storyline built up.

This book is loaded with suspense, and danger around every corner. Once I got past the first few chapters I had a hard time putting the book down! When I got to the last half of the book I had to stay up late just to see what was going to happen!

Overall I loved this book! There were a couple loose ends with the characters at the end I would have loved to see tied up a little more, but I still really enjoyed the ending.
