Introducing A New Friend

Oh My God!
Oh My God!
Oh My God!

What kind of blogger am I.!?
I'll tell you.! 
The terrible
Terrible kind.! 
How could I have ignored my babies for so long.?


Please forgive me.


If you're still reading this then I shall assume that I have been forgiven
so therefore hugs and kisses for everyone. 

xoxoxo 

The reason that I have not been on for so long is because I moved a few months ago
and since then my computer has been packed up.
It actually still is packed away 
But I've decided to try to do this from my phone because I've missed you all so much! 

Since I've been gone I have meet and became good friends with an amazingly talented guy named Edward Valentin


Now as much as I would love to talk about how amazingly fantastic he is
the point of this post is to let all of you brilliant people know that
he just published his first children's book titled 
The Sweetest Chocolate Princess

Tomorrow tonight I will post a review 
But if you would like to check it out anyways the book can be purchased 
You can also get the e-book on your kindle
and if you're an Amazon Unlimited member you can read it for free.

now enjoy this fantabulous photo of the two of us.

Devour Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

We all know what happens when an immortal being and a human fall in love.
All hell breaks lose!
Eli is a devour. 
His kind feeds off of the negative emotions that humans feel.
They force them in to a reverie and well mostly scare the living poo out of them
so that they can feed.
 They think highly of themselves and believe themselves to be the superior race over all species.

Although it is his nature to be -what he considers - evil, he fights it. 
For years he has fought his nature yearning to be human, 
refusing to force fear or lust (or any negative emotions) onto people, he feeds on  whatever emotion someone may be feeling as he passes by. 
Of course for someone of his kind that is an impossible way to live
and he suffers dearly for it. 
Until he meets Clara.
For some reason Clara is different to him. 
He can feel positive emotions from her, something that he has never felt before. 
He grow an attachment towards her,but as they grow closer and their bond grows stronger trouble finds it's way toward them.

The devourer counsel is after them now -thanks to a jealous and vindictive devourer named Angelina- Eli because he is a traitor to his kind and Clara... well, because she is simply human.

Shelly Crane is beyond amazing. 
She is one of my favorite authors and if you've read and enjoyed her Significance series you will definitely love this series as well. 

What is there not to love?
Perfect title
Gorgeous book cover 
Amazing book boyfriend
Incredible story
Talented author 
Danger
Action
Romance
*inhales*

I could go on  forever 
but you should really be reading the first page of this book  right now sooo
 chop,chop!

Dorothy Must Die Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆


is a book that everyone must read.

Danielle Paige is an incredible author. 
I could think of a million ways this story could have been 
ruined, but Danielle Paige did a remarkable job. 
This book has made it's way up the ladder and landed a spot as one of my favorite books.
I have read many books, but this is the one that I will be taking about to my friends 
and family a month from now.

Our heroine, Amy Gumm, starts off as a non-violent and lonely 
teenager with only sarcasm as her weapon against the schools biggest bully
but after being dropped in Oz 
and being trained by the revolutionary order of the wicked
she begins to show some major 
character development.

Amy Gumm is Oz's last hope against Dorothy 
and her vicious friends.
 Glinda "the good witch", The Tin Woodsman, The Scarecrow, and The Lion
are stealing the magic from Oz and are terrorizing it's citizens.

Amy has everything she needs to defeat Dorothy:
Brains
Courage
Skills
and
Magic
but in this new Oz is there really anyone 
that she can trust? 
The Order?
Nox?
 The Wizard?

Is killing Dorothy the only way to save Oz?
and most importantly,
in a world where the meaning of the words Good and Wicked
are not what they should be,  
what kind of witch is will Amy Gumm become?

Is she Good or is she Wicked?

Find out what happens to Dorothy 
in this retelling of Oz 


***************************************************************************
Original Summary


I didn't ask for any of this.
I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets by a tornado-taking you with it- you have no choice but to go along, you know?
Sure, I've read the books.
I've seen the movies.
I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds.
But I've never expected Oz to look like this. 
To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion.
There's still the yellow brick road, though-but even that's crumbling.
What happened?
Dorothy.
They say she found a way to come back to Oz.
They say she seized power and the power went to her head.
And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm- and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission:
Remove the Tin Woodsman's heart
Steal the Scarecrow's brain
Take the Lion's courage
Then and Only then- Dorothy must die!
