Introduction/Update
The idea, or plan, for this blog is to post reviews for the books that I read.
The reviews I've already posted are ones that I've written over the past several years. These include my earliest attempts. As I read and review more books I will continue to strive to improve.
The Blue Door by Christa KindeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
In The Blue Door, the first book of The Threshold Series, we are introduced to Prissie Pomeroy. Prissie discovers that she has a unique ability, she can see angels. Prissie struggles with the realization that people she thought she knew are angels living among the humans. With spiritual battles raging Prissie finds her faith tested as she learns of God’s plan for her.
I found the premise of the book intriguing and the characters well developed. However, I was disappointed to find it slow moving and hard to get through. I ended up not being unable to finish it.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K. RowlingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
J. K. Rowling makes a grand debut to screenplays with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Magizoologist Newt Scamander is in New York for a quick stopover, but things change when his magical case is misplaced with and a no-maj (muggle) and some of his fantastic beasts escape into the city. Now, with the help of some new friends, Newt is in a rush to find them before it spells trouble for everyone…. wizard and no-maj alike.
With an extraordinary cast of characters, this is an epic, action-packed adventure fans of Harry Potter have come to expect.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this screenplay and am now looking forward to seeing it onscreen.

The Fallen Vampire by Beata BlitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review.
When an accident reveals Chloe’s psychic abilities, the community condemns her as a witch and threatens to burn her alive. Attempting to escape into the next territory, she yearns for acceptance.
While on the run Chloe finds herself in the middle of a battle between the Cloud Lord (shape-shifters from another dimension) factions. A fight between the rulers of her people, the Drakonin (dragon-shifters) and the Vampirii (vampires). By sheltering a fallen Vampirii warrior, her destiny is radically altered. If she can survive the test of her resolve, she may just reach a place where her latent powers can bloom.
This first book in the FLUX & FIRMAMENT series sets the stage by introducing us to a new universe created when a catastrophic experiment at the Large Hadron Collider led to a collision between our world and the dimension of the Cloud Lords.
With well written characters and a plot that seems well thought out, I really enjoyed this one and look forward to seeing what happens next.

Priscilla the Great: Vampire Slayer by Sybil NelsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Priscilla Summers pretty much has it all. She has super powers, an awesome boyfriend, keys to an invisible jet, and she is officially an eighth grader. With all the potential she’s not about to let some out of control armpit hair ruin the perfect summer. To solve her unwanted hair problem, Priscilla enlists the help of her best friend to become a certified vampire slayer.
A hilarious cast of characters makes this a fun story to read.
