The Secrets of Car Flipping: A Step by Step Guide for Buying and Selling Used Cars

by Cleveland Williams

Publication Date: September 21, 2012

Book Description (taken from amazon):

The Secrets of Car Flipping is a very detailed and informative look into the world of buying and selling used cars. Car sales is a multi-billion dollar a year business. Buying and selling used cars is not only big business, but also a necessity for millions of people who need transportation. Buying a used car is generally less expensive than buying a new car. Most people buy used cars with the hopes of finding a nice, dependable car at a great price. But many people find out that buying a used car can put them in a situation they regret. Usually that is because they went to buy the car without the right knowledge or guide to help them through the process. There are a lot of do's, don'ts, and things you need to look for when you are buying a used car. You also need to make sure you are getting the best deal possible. With The Secrets of Car Flipping you are given all the information and tools you need to buy and sell cars like a professional buyer. This information is for anyone: the first time car buyer, the family looking for an extra car, or the car flipper trying to find a deal on a good car. This book will make you a more confident and informed buyer.

I was given this book by the author for my honest review

My Opinion:

This book came at a perfect time for me and my family because we were in the process of looking for a new car because our old one broke. So when I got this book in the mail I was so excited to start reading it hoping it would help me and Boy did it! After I got done reading it, I felt I knew a lot more about what to do and what not to do while looking for a car. The part I think that helped the most was the questions to ask the buyer about the car and how to neg. a price on a used car.

I would love to think the author for giving me this book, I would never have found the car I have without reading this book first. I think everyone should get this book if you are looking for a used car. I also believe that it would help anyone with selling a car as well, but my main focus was looking for to buy a car. lol Go buy this book!

SHADOWLOVE-STALKERS (Shadow (vampire) series) By: Claudy Conn

ShadowLove Stalkers

By: Claudy Conn

Publication Date: May 29, 2011

Book Description: (taken from amazon)

What do you do when your father wants to turn you into a vampire and the man who offers you protection has his own, dark agenda?

Shawna Rawley has no choice but to run. Pentim Rawley, one of the most evil vampires who has ever lived, has just discovered that she is his daughter. Now he’s obsessed with finding and turning her. She doesn’t want Pentim to find the people she loves and use them to get to her. She doesn’t want him to find and turn her. She has only one ace up her sleeve. The human in her may be at risk, but in addition to being half vamp, Shawna is also a white witch!

Chad MacFare has an offer for Shawna he thinks she can’t afford to refuse: he’ll protect her from Pentim and his minions. But Shawna doesn’t trust the sexy immortal. She knows he has his own agenda—he wants to kill her father, and he wants to set her up as bait…

My Opinion:

Once again Claudy does it again. Where do I start with this book? It had my attention from the very first page to the very last one. She made Shawna funny, well not funny but feisty and entertaining as hell to read about. Then you have Pentim who you know is dangerous but you can also tell he is sexy and very alluring vampire. Shawna and Pantim is a match made in heaven well maybe not heaven. I think the way Claudy made Shawn half witch and half vampire makes u just want to read about it because you know the plot is good especially with her writing history. Shawna is a good person, she never did anything bad she didn't even use human blood for anything! There are so many emotions while reading this book, and I was pregnant when I read this book so I was extra emotional. This story isn't like most I read first its a romance book and somehow Claudy has got me hooked on her romance books. And Second, I just can't stay away from her books period no matter if they are paranormal or not.

Shadows & Voices by Jason Ellis

Shadows & Voices (Holly Silverstone, #1)

by Jason Ellis

Publication Date: March 7, 2012

Book Description: (taken from amazon)

Meet young Holly Silverstone, the girl who sees daisies turn to butterflies ... who dreams of places that she has never been to ... who is invited to study at the elusive and enchanting Highlands Academy of truth and excellence.

The voices will come, one-thousand and one, the voices will come. Fear is the key, fear to see. The voices will come, one-thousand and one, the voices will come.

As Holly took a sip of her tea and held the piece of paper between her fingers, veins of ink slowly crept across the paper. She wanted to drop it and scream … yet a more powerful part of her made the fingers on her hands grasp the letter even tighter and her eyes open wider.

The ink seeped and whirled around, forming words;

We have a question for you, Holly.

Do you want to know how the daisies turned to butterflies?

I was given this book by the author for my honest opinion.

My Opinion:

Holly is a very special girl, she has magic. Well she has magic in her and she goes to a school for people like her. This book is surrounded by Holly but around magic and how to live with it. I wish I could escape to this school. Anyways, Holly goes to this magic school and she becomes really close friends with a teacher name Ovissa Slater. Who goes missing, and Holly is devastated. Then decides to start her own investigating and start looking for her friend.  The bad part about that situation is she gets into trouble and danger! You start to think why doesn’t she just give up will she?

I loved this book! I was on the edge of my seat for half of the book, and this book had me hooked from the beginning. There was so many parts of this book, well actually the whole book where you have to give your full attention to understand it. Which you should in all the books yoread. I felt for Holly throughout this book, with everything she went through even after her teacher goes missing is amazing. This author does a great job with detail and developing characters throughout the book without giving out everything in the beginning like some books.

The Citizens by L.M Smith

The Citizens (Jazz Nemesis #1)

by L.M. Smith

Book Description (taken from goodreads):

Imagine a town where you can stay out as late as you want, wake up when it suits you, you never have to go to work, and everything is free for the taking. Sounds perfect right? But what if you can’t remember where you are or how you got there? What if you can’t ever leave? And what if the only other people around are hostages, just like you? Would you still want to stay?

Jasmine Marshall certainly didn’t think so until she met Justin Beck; a dashing active-duty member of the United States Army and fellow hostage. With him around life in Kolob might not be so bad after all … or so she thought. There are vampires and psychics at the breakfast table! Disturbing acts of torture and senseless violence are commonplace. Biochemical warfare is a very real threat, and the town’s mayor is an elusive mad-scientist obsessed with his own theories about December 21, 2012!

In a place where one has everything to gain and nothing to lose, one thing reigns true: nothing in Kolob is ever as it seems.

I was given this book by the author for my honest review!

My Opinion:

Where to begin with this book? How about AMAZING! It was also creepy at the same time. This small town of Kolob there are many secrets and many weird things going on. I mean really what would you do if you woke up in this town where you had no idea how you got there or where you are? Me personally, I would be freaking out. Then there was the thing with all the cameras. Who could deal with your every move being watch? The only upside of all of this is that everything is free, but I’m not sure if I would be ok with everything else through. This book got my attention from the very beginning and kept my attention til the end. Bad part about this book was that it kept me on the edge of my seat for a lot of parts! I even had my husband laughing at me because I would sit up really fast and he would ask me what’s wrong and I would go “shhh I’m at a good part”. I’m not sure if that’s even a bad part but it certainly was funny. L.M Smith is a talented author who wrote a book with twist after twist and didn’t give anything away til the end. All the questions in your head while reading this book wont be answered til the end. Trust me through that made the book!

On another note I would love for this book be made into a movie!!

Finding Summerland by Paige Bleu

Finding Summerland

by Paige Bleu

Publication Date: July 17, 2012

Book Description (taken from amazon):

After his brothers recent disapearance Wesley Rochester wished he could just fade into obscurity. Searching for closure, he's haunted by visons. Consumed with decoding the messages, he begins turning dangerously deeper inward. Enter an intriguing, 'not quite' human stranger, who mysteriously arrives just as he feels all hope is lost. Together they begin to realize that their destinies are intricately tangled in a drama reaching far beyond the realms of the wold they know. Discovering the secrets plaguing wesley since childhood are no coincidence, and everything he believes is shattered. Captivated by her, he must decide between the life he has and the one he'd forgotten. 

'Finding Summerland' is like 'Twilight' in the sense that it is a supernatural, coming of age romance—but has a genre bending, metaphysical element and a much deeper rabbit hole. Follow the journey of two star crossed souls as they explore who they are and the ties that bind them. Enter a world intentionally forgotten. A place buried by history, where only the chosen are aware of its existence. A place covenants are made and broken, where myth leads to truth and forbidden love threatens to destroy or be destroyed, becoming just another casualty in their shadow war. 

The introductory novel in a series of five, called 'The Ameryn Chronicles'—but compelling enough to stand alone—'Finding Summerland' is sure to be savored by anyone craving to stretch the bounds of ordinary imagination, edgy enough to engage readers who enjoy unravelling a mystery, and sweet enough to grab onto the hearts of the romance lovers! Where legends breathe and dreams are alive. A 'trippy' journey to a new reality.

I was given this book for my honest review by the author

My Opinion:

Wesley Rochester was what you would call a stranger in his own family. His sister had won every pageant and contest that she entered and his brother was a athlete, a star athlete. To his friends his name is Wes didn’t really belong in his family. He was told that he had a learning disability, ADD but did he? All he wanted to do was stay in his room and play his guitar with no one around his to bug him. What I thought the weirdest thing about this book was his dreams. Where he was drawing and drawing but only woke up to one drawing. Everything changed for Wes of course as soon as he met a girl who was watching him. Her name is Olivia. From there on Wes’s life will never be the same.

This book was filled with so much emotion, makes you wonder if the author herself cried, laughed when was needed. I know it took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. With Wes’s family ways and how he doesn’t fit into his own family it made my heartache for him.  I find this book a paranormal romance genre and right up my alley on what I like to read. To think that I read this book within 2 days, that shows you how much I loved this book and cant wait to read more on this series. I am happy that the second book will be out soon. I also put off on finishing this book because I didn’t want to wait to see what happens and I wanted to stay in Wes’s and Olivia’s world. I think a HUGE thank you is in order to the author for writing such an amazing book! And I look forward to reading more from this author rather it’s the next book in this series or a short story I don’t care.

The Stereotypical Freaks by Howard Shapiro

The Stereotypical Freaks

by Howard Shapiro 

Publication Date: November 14, 2012

Book Description (taken from goodreads.com)

Four disparate high school seniors come together to compete in their school's battle of the bands. Sharing a love for playing rock and roll, the members name the band "The Stereotypical Freaks" because they feel stereotyped by their classmates - smart kid, geek, star athlete and quiet weirdo… when in fact they know they are much more than those labels that have been placed on them.

When one member reveals life altering news, winning the competition takes on more of a meaning to each member. Scared and angry, upset and yet still with a lot of resolve they set out to win one for the good guys… will they?

I was given this book from the author for my honest opinion

My Opinion:

I have to admit this was my first graphic novel. I normally say no to reviewing them because I'm not really sure on how to review them. Plus, I really thought why read a graphic novel when you can read an actual book.WELL, I was so wrong!! This novel was awesome! Granted it was weird reading a graphic novel compare to a regular book but in this case who cares! This book made me laugh because I can relate to it since in high school I was a geek. It was funny how you can relate to books.  Anyways, about the book now, there are 4 boys that are misfits as I call them in high school who aren't your normal kids there is a geek, weirdo, smart kid and a star athlete.  Well they started a band for a contest, and as you can imagine what they went through as this band came about.  But there is one down side with having all of them in one band, there is one member of their group that is keeping something from all of them and that secret might keep them from keeping the band together and from letting them complete in the contest.  This book teaches you so many things, not to judge people by what they look like, what they are involved in, and who they hang out with.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone even if you're not a fan of graphic novels trust me you will love this book! I think it's a great book for anyone teenager, parent, anyone!
