Another Amazing Book by Jocelyn Green

I treated myself to a copy of Jocelyn Green's Yankee in Atlanta for my birthday earlier this month and am I ever glad I did! I absolutely loved itand Im not the least bit surprised. This is the third book in Jocelyns Heroines Behind the Lines series, and I loved the first two as well. (Each can be read as a stand-alone.) Jocelyn has a way of showing us a slice of history from an entirely new perspective, and shes done it again with Yankee in Atlanta. This approach keeps the read so interesting and intriguing.

Jocelyn is a gifted and dedicated writer, and those qualities really shine through in this book. Her writing is so fresh and compelling and her careful research thrust me deep into the characters lives and the Civil War period. I highly recommend this book. Bravo, Jocelyn! Cant wait to read the next in the series. Spy of Richmond is on my wish-list already!

The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green is a phenomenal novel about the complexities of families. Green dives very deep in this one and I found it to be a moving novel with down to earth and lifelike characters. What I also liked about this novel is the fact that I was hooked to the pages. Sure, a lot of books are catchy and grasp their readers attention from beginning to end, but somehow, this one was different. I was EXCITED to read it. I wanted to pick up the book even when I was busy (summer is such a busy time of year in my life), and I absolutely did NOT want to put it down. I was enthralled in the lives of these characters and utterly addicted to the story because of them. Perhaps this is one of Jane's best. After all, I don't think it's the type of story that I will soon forget. Even more, I can't remember the last time I read one of her novels and I used to be such a huge fan. But I know that I am now going to continue reading based on this one. So if your a fan of the author and/or enjoy women's fiction novels that detail the hardships of family and how to make amends again then I implore you to read this one. It's certainly one of the best that I have read in a very long time.

The obstacles that threaten Amanda and her friends lives are extremely crazy, you will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what terrible thing happens to her next. The way Amanda and Robinson connect and work together is amazing. This story will have you laughing and in tears the next moment. The love Amanda has for her friends and family is truly beautiful.. I had the honor to review this amazing book for the author.

This was my first read from Jocelyn Green. She is now on my favorite author list. I really enjoyed this story. I was given it free from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. I am so glad I got a chance to read this story. It opened my eyes to a lot of history that I did not realize happened the way it did. This book had major heartache, surprises, twists, turns, and very enjoyable moments. If you want a fluff read, this is NOT it. Be prepared. It will rip your heart out, paste it back together, rip it apart again, and hand it back to you. WONDERFUL!! Emotional!! I loved every minute of it and feel like I was right there feeling the mud suck between my toes and mosquitoes biting me all over. (ick) I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a good adventure!!

First thing, I love this book!

There are few books that I can read more than once and still have that initial feeling of Wow! This book however makes it into that category! From the first time I read it to just finishing it for the fourth time I still find it entertaining and amazing! John Green in a fantastic author and I like all of his books but this one takes the cake!

This is the book I go to when I just cant seem to find a new good read. It makes me laugh and cry and John Green knows the teenage mind like so few adult authors do. If you want a book to stay with you this is definitely the book. I still find myself thinking about it long after Ive finished it.

 Truly amazing!

This is the fourth book in the Cainsville series and I absolutely adored it.  There are supposed to be five books in this series.  The fifth book, Rituals, is expected to release in August of 2017.

This series just blends together so many story elements that I love.  There is some great mystery in here, some wonderful urban fantasy elements, some thriller aspects, and a bit of romance.  This is very much an investigative type of urban fantasy.  I love the fae theme that flows throughout this book as well.

This book reveals a lot more about the ancient Fae past that Gabriel, Olivia, and Ricky are tied in with.  We see a lot more flashbacks to their past lives and the way this triangle of love and friendship played out in past generations.

Some more of Cainsvilles secrets are slowly exposed and I really enjoy the mystery behind this small town of Fae.  I also always enjoy watching Olivia and Gabriel working together to unravel a mystery and there is a very well done mystery in this book that ties into the overall story nicely.

My favorite part of the book was the changing dynamic between Olivia and Gabriel.  There are some scenes between those two that will practically stop your heart with their intensity, beauty and pain.  I loved Ricky all the more for consideration he gives to the happiness of everyone involved in this crazy ancient fey triangle of love and hate.

The writing is amazing and flows very nicely.  This book is incredibly engaging and very very hard to put down.  Its one of those books that I didn't want to end and when it did end I immediately found myself wishing for the next book.

Overall this was an absolutely amazing read.  I am loving this series so much more than anything Armstrong has written.  Its got an amazing world, excellent mysteries, and engaging characters; its just such a wonderful balance of so many story elements.  I would highly recommend to urban fantasy fans who love investigative stories.  I have also really been enjoying Armstrongs Casey Duncan series; City of the Lost was amazing (although no fantasy elements in that one).  So if you enjoy this series check out the Casey Duncan series too!

I loved this book.  Ms James has written many great books but this one is by far her best. I love the way she puts such emotions in her writing. You laugh, you cry, you get mad at some of the characters but she always gives you hope and a terrific story. I can't say enough praise about her writing
Chloe is a ballet dancer who's retired and now has a teaching school. She is a single mom to Zavy her 3 yr old son. Kevin is an All Black rugby player who purchases the house Chloe lives in. He needs Chloe's apartment for his family because his family always needs him, so what's s Kiwi to do.
Kevin doesn't want Chloe to move and so begins this wonderful story.  As in all her books, Ms James brings in many other characters from previous stories which is just a bonus. I am sure I'll be reading it again. Kudos to this author for all of her great stories

It's been quite a while since a paranormal book has held my interest through the whole book.  M. Greenhill has done an amazing job with this one.  I am especially impressed as this is her first book.  If you want a book that your not going to be able to put down this is definitely one you want to read.  I can't wait for her next book.

Sara has been a favorite author from the first time I read one of her paranormal books. She has this way of writing that draws you into the book to where you feel and live each moment the characters feel and live. If you are a fan favorite of her paranormal you will be wonderfully happy to get Brave the Heat. Although it is not the typical Paranormal book it is full of excitement and romance. From the moment you meet the Dreamy Gavin you just can not help loving this firefighter in action! He is someone that does his job to the fullest with professionalism. Our main girl Jordan is someone that most can relate to a loving mother that has changes happening in her and her daughters lives. And then there is her girl Maddy who is the bubbly happy friend. This book is one that you will not want to stop reading. From the comical to the ironic to the romance you will love this book. It is always great to see a favorite author be able to go into a different genre with success and I believe Sara has proven she has many talents under her writing hand! :)

Mz. Green is nothing, if not amazing in her ability to intertwine her characters, to pull in the reader and make them care about what happens to these people. In this triumph of lives unexpectedly colliding we learn the failures and foibles of the ego and the lengths it goes to with the singular goal of pulling us apart. As her primary characters unfold with depth and grace (as well as shallowness and guile) we see two families, two lives in progress. As the plot deepens we learn that what appears as the truth is in fact, quite far from it.

As with nearly all of Green's work, I didn't want it to end. Yearning for more and wondering if she is typing at this moment and hoping if I will her hard enough, she will up her output to twenty books a year. Producing the stories that lay breathing in my Kindle....waiting to bring me up to speed with the events in their pages. Buy this book. Buy ALL her books and then share them with friends!

ARR has done it again. Wesley and Mac are such an amazing couple! The challenges that ARR's characters face are so real, in every book you can absolutely picture yourself facing an obstacle that the characters face. For Wesley it was survivors guilt, for Mac it was something almost everyone can relate to. Being loved for you! As always ARR has created an amazing supporting cast of characters that draws you in. I can't wait to read Libby's story!

Meaghan's world is turned upside down when she watches her father take his last breath, and discovers her mom dead not to far away from him.  The creatures who killed them are still in the house, and Nick grabs Meagan and they run for their lives.  Meaghan was confused by the chain of events and the bizarre creatures she saw.  Nick doesn't have time to explain to her what is going on, but rushes her on to try and find safety by going through a portal.

Meaghan finds herself no longer on earth, and an over abundance of questions for Nick.  Nick is slow to give information to Meaghan as they travel through Aerenden to Nick's home.  However, they do have help along the way, and each step closer to Nick's home Meaghan starts to learn who she really is and what that identity means.

*sing song voice* LOVED this story!!!

I loved the world of Aerenden and how it resembles Earth in the way of landscapes, however different because of the magic the people and creatures of the planet possess.  I found myself visualizing this world and feeling the hardships and simple living the people endure, but also harboring the incredible Hope that keeps them going.  Finding out Meaghan's identity with her, and what is expected of her is an adventure in itself.  Nick's "hot and cold" behavior towards Meaghan is frustrating but exhilarating at the same time with his battle with his heart and the sacred rules he is bound by.  This story has it all, amazing plot, heartache, loyalty and betrayal, friendships, love, and the powerful hope that the kingdom will become full of glory once again.  It is insanely amazing, and I can NOT wait for the next book in the series.

It's so good, I think keyboards should have the AE together key so that I can Type the correct spelling of this novel's title!  Readers and followers should definitely try this story, there's just SO MUCH MORE!

I don't even know where to begin with the reasons why this is such an amazing read. I truly loved this book along with the first one. The growing and confidence that Gi does in this book is both beautiful and (for me) somewhat hear breaking. She goes through a lot and comes out so very great as a character. By the time I got to the last page I added her to my list of favorite heroines. I loved all the characters and how each grew in their own way. The world's were amazing and creative and I loved reading about them. They were so well described that I could easily imagine them in my mind. I wish this series had more books because I don't want to see it end.

I finished this book in three days and it was absolutely beautiful. It's been a long time that a book tugged at my heart strings like this one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who gets so involved in the book that they start feeling the characters pain. Thank you john green.

I've ready all of John's books and I didn't think I'd ever love anything more than Alaska and Abundance. But this was sooooo good. I won't go on and on about his absolutely great writing style and his crafting of characters. Green's craft is so well put together and this book is his best yet. I read this book in one day. I was sad to have to finish it. Great, great, great.
