“The Dying Times: Nadene’s Story” by Mr. Brian Kittrell

“The Dying Times: Nadene’s Story” by Mr. Brian Kittrell is everyone’s worst nightmare. A country has bombed us with biological bombs. Nadene and her mother, Pam, decided to try to make it to Texas before everyone gets ill from the bombs. Along the way they pick up people who are also trying to escape. There is one problem, the bombs don’t make people sick, they turn into zombies. Will Nadene and her friends make it to Texas or will they turn into zombies themselves.

I must say that I didn’t stop reading the book until the end because it was grabbing you from the first chapter. Nadene was written in such a way that you felt everything that she was feeling at the time. It showed what people might do in the event that such a thing were to happen to us. It also has shown me the amount of research that Mr. Kittrell did before writing this book. Since this is part of a series by the author, I can’t wait to read the rest as it is definitely worth the read.

“Quantum Angel Healing, Energy Therapy and Communication with Angels” by Eva-Maria Mora

“Quantum Angel Healing, Energy Therapy and Communication with Angels” by Eva-Maria Mora is a book about how someone can train to be a Quantum Angel Healer. The author shows us that using the Quantum Angel Healing can help with numerous heath problems whether it be emotionally, physically, or psycologically. She explains everything step-by-step through the whole process. Ms. Mora even tells you which angels will help with what problems.

I believe in God and his angels so I was interested in what she had written about. I even did a few of her exercises that she talked about. I will say I felt better when I did the Angel Breath. But I am not sure how biblically correct this book is. I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where it gives us all the names of some of the angels so as a Christian I am not sure if I believe everything she talked about in her book. Also I don’t think you can become a “healer” and be able to help people just through a book. I think you should spend time with another “healer”. Like I said these are my beliefs and I may be wrong.

I will also say that Mrs. Mora did an excellent job with her bibliography. With every citation she said where she got it from and gave the credit to the author. Too many times in todays world authors forget to cite their work.

I did find this book an interesting read and I hope it will help people who are seeking this information as an answer.

“Wayward Soul” by Kim Bowman

“Wayward Soul” by Kim Bowman is a novella about Zanna, a Spirit Guide who falls for Owen, her charge, who was supposed to die. Zanna interferes and her charge lived. Zanna was sentenced to no longer being a Spirit Guide and losing her immortality. She is thrust back to earth.
Guide Logan is upset because his charge died and because her charge lived changing the way time was supposed to be. Will Guide Logan kill Owen? Will Zanna get to him before it’s too late?
As a novella it’s a cute little story, however I would have liked to have seen more of a storyline. Like how and when Zanna became his guide? When did she make herself seen? I also think there could have been more dialogue in the Chamber of Astral Light. With a little work this could be a great full length novel that I hope that Ms. Bowman is considering as I think it has great potential.

Zero Day by Mark Russinovich

“Zero Day” by Mark Russinovich has the kind of plot able to make the skin crawl on the most stalwart of readers. The author has impressively managed to weave technical fact with breathtaking suspense. After following his characters through efforts to stop an all too plausible cyberterrorist attack, I feel as much more aware and wary. Russinovich aptly portrays the minds of both the heroic techs, and the fanatics with equal detail and empathy. He gives no pass to the brass ignoring protagonist pleas while maintaining that our security online is no one person's responsibility. Nor does he downplay the horrific effects of the attack as he also delves into the psychology of the terrorists acting out of perceived religious duty and fear of encroaching western culture. Any reader should be enthralled with “Zero Day,” and taking careful notes.

Map of a Distorted Mind by Joseph R. McNulty

In Map of a Distorted Mind by Joseph R. McNulty is a man expression of grief of a love lost. It talks about the day he fell in love with her and the day she died. I felt every emotion that this man felt in every poem in this book. Mr. McNulty showed the world exactly how he felt and at times did. I applaud him in being so open honest.
Every poem had a flow and consistency to it. At parts I thought it would make a great song because the way it flowed. I must admit my personal favorite is The Great Sardine Ride where he moves to be closer to the one he loves. I have done that and know firsthand how the pull of love will make you do anything. Those of us that love poetry that comes straight from the heart will love this book.

Beside Myself by Ginger Simpson

Beside Myself by Ginger Simpson is a cute little story about a woman named Cynthia Freitas meets cop Alex Carlyle sparks fly in more then one way. Together they try to catch a kidnapper/murderer. Will they find the perp that are killing the women that look like Cynthia?

At first I thought this was going to be a “normal” romance. But it was definitely out of the ordinary. I don’t want to give it away but believe me when I say sparks fly in more than one way. The way that Mrs. Simpson brings the characters together with a sense of humor is good. I also like that there was no sex scenes is wonderful as she made Cynthia a woman who had moral which you not find in most romances. Beside Myself would make a good read on a rainy day.

Ms. Simpson, in her book Shortcoming, shows the result of someone being teased for something she has no control over. As someone that had been teased all her formative years, I too know how it feels and give Kudos to Ms. Simpson for writing about this sensitive subject.

Too Much Ado by Tony Angelo

Tony Angelo describes 'Too much Ado’ “as a poetry book that tackles some of the major prejudices…” and he is spot on about them introducing thoughts to the reader that provokes some thoughts about said “prejudices”. It is a very interested style of poetry and it can hold a reader’s attention. Each poem speaks to us, the readers, to take to heart the author’s ideas and thoughts about the subject to which it is written.

Thought compelling reads tend to mark the author’s stories within the poems. I prefer poetry that tells a story instead of a poem with rhythym and rhyme that can make no sense at all. We see the “story-lines” as life experiences and lessons learned in this reviewer/author’s opinion.

Over Night, Over Day, Over You by Tony Angelo

Although grammatically rough, Tony Angelo's “Over Night, Over Day, Over You" involves yet another way that author Angelo uses to teach a life lesson and it teaches the young adult audience to stay away from prejudice and not become a prejudiced person. The storyline follows true to Angelo’s way of a moral learning read.

Young adults everywhere can read this story easily and can understand the morals to be learned. Angelo writes in this genre very well and continues to strive for a good moral learning story again and again.

Cordon Bleu by Tony Angelo Taliaferro

Carl Donald Blue is the main character in “Cordon Bleu” and he learns a few life lessons along his trip in the tween stages of his life/schooling. The lessons come from his father and then his Aunt. The use of the father’s toolbox to show Carl some of his life lessons is very poetic and spot on!

This story, I believe, is aimed at youngsters and tweens. There are lessons to be learned within the realm of Carl’s life that other children do not have the benefit of.

The connection of badness and ill-will toward the people that live in the trailer park teaches Carl and his Aunt not to judge a book by its cover or, in this case, by where they live. Not all people are bad that live in a specific part of town that is infamous for trouble and drugs.

Call Me Duchess by Maggie Dove

In Call Me Duchess by Maggie Dove, young Marguerite and her sisters are suddenly found destitute because of her father’s gambling habit. The three sisters embark on a journey to London at the height of the “London Season”. They have four months to find husbands or they will become governesses. Marguerite has her heart on becoming the Duchess of Wallingford. Will she marry for money or will some other man hold the key to her heart.
I have been reading romances since I was thirteen years old, and I have seen a lot of historical romances where the woman would be destitute if she didn’t marry a wealthy man. However, Ms. Dove writes one very different and it is like a fresh breeze. I give her kudos for writing such an enjoyable book.
