5.0

This is such a cute and fun book. The artwork is beautiful and the topic is funny for children yet something kids need to know. I really enjoyed all the fun facts, I did not know that is how the name motown came about. Putting the seat down is important in any family that had both boys and girls.

Great read! At first I was struggling to get into the story, but soon became engrossed, everything was just so interesting, this author has a fascinating and creative mind. Maiden’s Sleep, was a plague that swept through their town and killed many, including Bow’s daughter. I don’t get why Bow thought it was Freneck’s fault his daughter didn’t survive, maybe because he is the town’s alchemist and should have been able to save her? When Bow is approached by 2 children needing help finding their father, we are lead on a fantastical and horror filled adventure. Bow and Freneck uncover a shack where the children’s father lives, along with something they were not expecting. Investigating further, they both realize everyone is not who they say they are. By the end I was left speechless for a bit, I had to soak in all I read. The descriptions of Ozker, his shack and what he was looking for in all the women found dead was just so well done, very detailed. I don’t have enough words to praise this book. I would love to read more about Bow, Freneck and their little town of Dunwynn.

Oscar and Emmy’s beginning. I love the artwork in this book. I have read all of the other Oscar and Emmy books, and it's nice to see how they got their start. This book is very informative on the way cats are taken care of before leading up to be put up for adoption. It is always a pleasure reading the Oscar and Emmy Series.

emotional inspiring

5.0

Wow! For such a short read this book sure grab my heart and make me cry! Lily and Micah sure do get thrown a good many curve balls in life. They are thrown tragedy after tragedy but still seem to pick themselves off, stay positive and lean on each other. Lily, at the start of her relationship with Micah, rescues a dog in the ocean, that dog goes on to be with them through all their trials and triumphs. At one point it seems like Micah is ready to give up, but their dog, Caddy, seems to be the glue that holds them together. This book caused me heart ache so many times but, the ending was beautiful and the story captivating, especially in regards to Caddy and what she means to the family. 
The Cursed: Ezri by Naomi Valkyrie

Sweet Ezri, I am so sad that he grows up not understanding what he is, thinking all this time he is defective and a terrible person. I love that Lorne is so patient with him and understanding, and it was exciting that he felt the pull towards him as well even being human. Surprise twist when Lorne and Ezri go out looking for a lost hiker, and bringing Ezri some much needed closure on his past. At the same time brining up Thorne’s past with his family to the forefront and causing a little chaos. I loved this story, and I really like how this author makes the MM relationship sweet and sexy with no real explicit scenes. It still grabs my heart.

fast-paced
What a fun story. The artwork is lovely and eye catching, and the story is entertaining and imaginative. Drake has fun playing with his friends while being invisible hiding from them. I wonder how he became invisible? It was good to see him back by the next day.
