Suffer Asylum - A Horror Story by Jack Carl Stanley

Suffer Asylum


Book Description From Amazon:

A horror book from author Jack Carl Stanley. Do you believe in ghosts? A woman and her two children are missing. The police search but have no idea as to the family’s whereabouts. The investigation leads into a dark forest. The likelihood of locating the missing persons alive lessens with each passing moment. Unbeknownst to the search party, the family is trapped inside… Leiden Asylum! Will they escape to regain their freedom or be locked forever inside this living hell?

My Opinion: 

A crazy drug addicted mother runs off with her kids in the middle of the night because she's about to loose custody of them to their father, she seeks shelter in what she is convinced to believe is a safe haven for them but the son can tell from the start that its not all that it seems and something is not right, he has no idea just how correct he is. Meanwhile while all of this is going on the father of the children along with the police are searching for them. 

This book was really good it held my attention right from the start, I love just becoming trapped in a book it feels so real to me. This book made me want more and I love it. 

It does jump around a bit and that may not appeal to some readers but I did not mind it and I feel that the style of writing fits the story perfectly. 

I would not say the book actually scared me but it did keep me guessing and I love how the story developed. The author made you feel like you were in the book right along side the main characters and gave lots of detailed descriptions that left you with great mind visuals. I myself felt trapped right along with the kids. 

The story line is great, and its also an eye opener to just how bad addiction can be, that part felt all too real also, you may actually get more out of the book then you thought you would. I could feel all the emotions of each charter while reading this and I love that about a book, so many people try to just focus on one person and then leave the other characters so simple but this book did not feel that way. I hate giving the book away so I don't want to say too much more about it. Give it a read yourself and see how you feel. 

I received an autographed copy of this book for review

Colors Of Awakening: Into The Mists by O.N Gandelman



You can purchase book here:

http://www.amazon.com/Colors-Awakening-Mists-O-N-Gandelman-ebook/dp/B00K2TZ6J4/ebookpro-20




Book Description:

"Have you ever felt like you knew what was going to happen?"
Have you ever felt like you were seeing something that was not supposed to be there? ...Have you ever felt different? Terribly different?”
"My beautiful girls, you are witches.”

In those few words, Kate Collins’ world- along with that of her two best friends- Sophie Lolens and Alexa Peters, collapses.

With their lives on the balance, the girls are transported to a magical world that coexists with our own ”" The Mists. There they learn the truth that was hidden from them all of their lives, and about the destiny that patiently awaited their arrival.

Like a snow ball that begins its roll innocently enough, the girls are rapidly carried from a colorful fairytale into the twisted corridors of a dark story, filled with cobwebs, intrigue, secrets and lies, all converging together under the growing shadow of an awakening war in that magical world.

The snow ball won’t stop until the girls reach the point of no return, where love and family will be on the balance and death on the other hand of the scale.

From the Back Cover:

What inspired me to write the book?
It's a rather funny story. I was eleven that summer. My best friend Masha (to whom I dedicated the book to) and I were spending every single day together. At those days we loved playing a never ending game of play-pretend, and we pretended to be witches. As we were running around that summer, we were sure that great and mysterious things were happening to us during the game, and so I decided to write about them.

But, as it often happens with kids, all those "mysterious" things were mysterious just in that moment and only to us, and were rather boring when I wrote them down.

So I decided to tweak the story; I addedthings that never happened and exaggerate those that did. Eventually, itturned into something completely different. After a while, the symmetry of the story didn't work for me. As a child, most of the stories and fairytales my Mom told me were all revolving around the number three. There were three princesses and three nights to save them;there were three dogs or a three headed dog;three boxes and three tries that Rumpelstiltskin gave the girl... Soon I understood that I needed to have three witches in my story. The first two were based on Masha and myself since I started writing the story about our play-pretend. It wasn't long until I realized that the perfect third party was my cousin Alice, who loved witches just as much as I did (and to whom the book is also dedicated).

So I had my three main characters and an initial idea for an antagonist. Over the years there were times I couldn't stop thinking about the story and inventing more and more details, but there were also large periods where I didn't give it a second thought. At first, it was a book about twelve year old witches written in the form of a diary, then it changed into a script, and then a different script. It was only when I was seventeenorso that I wrote the first chapter of the book in its current form.

And now, years later, it's the first book of a six-book series.



My Opinion:

I love reading young adult books and i love fantasy! This was a great book it pulled me in from the start and held my attention till the very last page. I love when a book is able to do that and i can just escape into its world. The world in which the book takes place in is such a wonderful magical fantasy land! I felt like i was right there along with the characters. It has a great story line. I loved this book and i can not wait to read the other books in this series. I feel like the author did an amazing job and i highly recommend this book to others. It was such a thrilling and exciting read.

I am not one to give away books in my reviews and i also dont read other book reviews because so many people give the book away and its honesty something i can not stand.

Hidden Under Her Heart by Rachelle Ayala




From Good Reads:
Maryanne Torres has sworn off sex. Intent on finding a marrying man, she joins a church youth group. A party at her pastor's house turns into a drinking binge, and Maryanne is raped.

Lucas Knight's only concern was winning the Ironman Triathlon until the morning he finds Maryanne unconscious in the church parking lot. He becomes the prime suspect, even though Maryanne cannot identify her attacker.

Maryanne wants justice but the identity of her rapist is hidden in the baby she plans to abort. A trap is set. Lucas races to clear his name and keep Maryanne's secret from drowning her and her baby.

My Thoughts:
I was very torn on this book. I just recently within the past year had a miscarriage. So this was honestly hard for me to read it was very emotional. Knowing i lost this baby and had no choice to keep it and then reading about those who have abortions was just to much for me i understand things like rape happen and its horrible but the death of a child is far worse in my eyes then being raped.

I do not want to give the book away.The book takes lots of unexpected turns but all in all it was well written. Religion is not shoved down your throat all that much and the author does a great job expressing everyones feelings not just being one sided.

Heaven Is For Real DVD-Based Conversation Kit

Heaven Is For Real DVD-Based Conversation Kit

"Heaven is for Real" sold out in its first printing and climbed to #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. For many weeks it has remained #1 on the non-fiction list. And now the best-selling book about Colton's visit to heaven is on DVD with a conversation package that is made for classes and small groups. You will see Colton's story and how it changed his live and his family's. Each DVD segment has Todd, Sonja, and Colton in an interview based format.

The DVD and kit provide:

* Five video sessions with the family and Colton answering common questions about heaven and his visit.
* A touching session on how to recover from loss and trouble
* A group leader guide

The reason I got this is because I read the book! When my grandfather passed away a year ago it really helped my grandmother deal with his death and she and my family very much so enjoyed it!

I would have to say this is very informative and and gives a greater in depth look into the family and what colton experienced.. its kinder hard to review this because its not really a book the small booklet that does come with it has great questions and a nice study guide of sorts!

Where as to all this happened or not the way Colton's story is told is not for me judge. Pick up a copy of the book for yourself and see how you feel about it!

It shows that even if you think you have a perfect life that anything can happen and just because things not so great may happen in your life it does not make it any less perfect! Penny is a blessing and an angel and just because she was born with Down Syndrome does not make her any less perfect then if she would have been born with out it.
