I really liked “The Janus Effect.” I probably would have given it five stars, but the ending was a bit anti-climatic. Good story, the characters are likable and there is plenty of suspense. The writing style is easy to read and flows well. I will be reading more by this author. 4 stars from me. For high school age and up.

Book Review for “Be My Eyes”- Fiction
I loved this book. A great heartwarming story of courage and unlikely friendship. I give it a solid 5 stars. There were some issues with the kindle version, random numbers, text alignment, and some places that were missing double consonants, but those are all editing issues and do not affect the story at all. Great read! Going to be looking for more from this author.
Book Review for “Warwick”- Historical Fiction
I was given a copy of “Warwick” by the author, Tony Riches, in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this version.

Book Review for “Planet Bound”- Science Fiction
I was given a copy of “Planet Bound” by the author, A. Marie Dinsmore, in exchange for an honest review. I liked the book. I would have liked the story better if the characters were a little more rounded. Also we are introduced to so many that have little or no part to play other than showing that they feel rejected, which is a common theme in this book. Potential for a good story. The storyline itself is interesting. Human kind is on a quest to find habitable planets. Tough female lead. I liked it. I give it three stars. High School age and up. Some language.
Book Review for “Matched”- YA Fantasy/Dystopian
Just loved book one! I can’t wait to finish up the series. If you liked “Hunger Games” you will love this one.

I can recommend for Jr. High and up. No swearing or sexual content.
