ARC Review: The Possible Police

They will do whatever it takes to stop children from believing. Wylde Scott believes that all children should live in a world of endless possibilities. In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Wylde takes your child into his boundless imagination as he fights off the possible police. Join him as he inspires children to truly believe, and teaches them that no one can stop them from doing what they dream.

I received a free copy of this book via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I know this book is meant for children but it is wonderful. I love the artwork, it was colourful and mesmirising. The writing was beautiful in verse. I would recommend this to anyone, any age. I think kids and their parents would both love it.

It’s a good fun book that had a nice message. Imagination is good.

5 out of 5 stars.

Review: Killer Frost

I’ve battled the Reapers of Chaos before–and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it’s going to be a fight to the death … most likely mine.

Yeah, I’ve got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic–and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus at my side, in Logan freaking Quinn, but I’m no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike’s Champion, but at heart, I’m still just Gwen Frost, that weird Gypsy girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.

Then someone I love is put in more danger than ever before, and something inside me snaps. This time, Loki and his Reapers are going down for good … or I am.

What a great end to a great series. It was action packed as usual. I loved the ending it was clever and made a lot of sense, which some endings don’t especially for young adult books.

The characters you know and love are back in full force. They were up to their usual tricks and breaking all the rules to do the right thing. Every page was something you knew and expected but at the same time something new and exciting. I cannot think of a dull moment. My only criticism is that some of it was unrealistic. There is no way she would get away with most of the stuff she did throughout the series.

I will definitely read the series again.

Four out of five stars.

ARC Review: The Cure for Dreaming

Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl—a suffragist—in an age that prefers its girls to be docile. It’s 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia’s father, concerned that she’s headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she’s able to see people’s true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she’s drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women. Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly real story, including archival photos and art from the period throughout.

This book was mesmerising. It was really well written and utterly captivating. The historic atmosphere with a dash of magic took you on a fantastic journey. A very detailed story with lots of fantastic characters. Henri is mouth watering and such an intriguing character.

I liked that it had a strong theme of woman rights. It was a nice story line and kept the story moving along nicely. It helped bring you right into the story making you feel like you are actually there. That you watching Henri perform and can see what Olivia sees.

It’s shows you should stand up for what you believe in, even if your closest family and friends don’t.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes complex stories and just enjoy being entertained.

Review: Fallen Crest High

Mason and Logan Kade are two brothers who did their own thing. They were rich and expected to attend her school, Fallen Crest Academy. They chose public school and now Samantha has to live with them. The problem is that she doesn’t care at all: about them, about her friends, about her cheating boyfriend, or even about her parent’s divorce. But maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe change is a good thing.

This is not my usual type of book but since it was free I decided to give it a go. Well I am so glad I did. Maybe I fool myself into thinking I like paranormal YA because I love fantasy, but maybe it’s the YA part I like too. The romance part was really good, very different.

There was drama from the word go. It was exciting. Without giving much away there was just emotional blow after blow and a even a few literal ones on this poor girl, Sam. Although some of it was her fault. Her mother was almost too horrible to believe. She should not be allowed to have more children.

Sometimes Sam’s reactions were too tame, she just seemed to accept her life crumbling away with no problems. With all the things that went wrong I would have been crying in a corner.

There was a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, needed a lot of editing. It was sometimes hard to tell who was being referenced.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and the characters. I will read the next one.

Four out of five stars.

Book a Day: Day 26

Day 26: Best book on Time Travel

Not something i really read so it will have to be the only book I have read on time travel.

Book a Day: Day 25

Day 25: Most memorable food/drink moment in literature.

When Harry and Ron receive big Easter eggs from Mrs Weasley and Hermione only receives a tiny one. Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire.

Book a day: Day 24

Day 24: A hidden gem.

I can think of lots of these but one that I have been raving about recently is.

Worth the read 🙂

Book a Day: Day 23

Day 23: Best book on diversity.

Another hard one.  Probably this one because it shows you shouldn’t judge people on how they look.

Book a Day: Day 22

Day 22: Makes me want to travel.

I read mostly fantasy so this is hard.

This made me realise how little I know about the world. I am sure I am not the only one. But I really need to take more interest in the world.
