#BookReview: Shifting by @WiggB @WalkerBooksUK


Synopsis: After bouncing from foster home to foster home, Magdalene Mae is transferred to what should be her last foster home in the tiny town of Silver City, New Mexico. 

Now that she's eighteen and has only a year left in high school, she's determined to stay out of trouble and just be normal. 

Agreeing to go to the prom with Bridger O'Connell is a good first step. Fitting in has never been her strong suit, but it's not for the reasons most people would expect-it all has to do with the deep secret that she is a shape shifter. 


But even in her new home danger lurks, waiting in the shadows to pounce. They are the Skinwalkers of Navajo legend, who have traded their souls to become the animal whose skin they wear-and Maggie is their next target.

Full of romance, mysticism, and intrigue, this dark take on Navajo legend will haunt readers to the final page.

NEW LAWS FOR MUSIC VOLUME







MY DAY STARTED OUT LIKE THIS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



<THEN AS THE DAY WENT BY I START TO READ ANOTHER BOOK






THEN WE STARTED HEARING THIS HORRENDOUS  NOISE>










<WE CALLED THE COPS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD A PERMIT TO TO PLAY MUSIC TILL 8PM SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING

IS IT SO HARD TO ASK THEM TO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>








WE NEED >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>












Ok so today we got up to do school and everything was fine.  We didn't get much sleep last night but we were dragging along.  Then around 12pm we started hearing this banging.  I thought it was the next door neighbor with their music up way loud.  But I just found out that it is a community picnic and that they have a permit to have music so they can have it so loud that I can hear it inside my home with the tv and music on from my computer and there is nothing they can do about it until 8pm which is when their permit expires.  So for the next 4 hours myself, my two daughter, my mother who had HBP and my elderly grandmother all have to be subjected to this crap.

Now a full-time writer, Ms. Roth lives near Chicago.






My Review:

Simply put, I did not like this book. I tried to like it. I forced myself to make it to chapter 12 and after that.... I was done. I just posted my review and noticed how many people like this book so I hope that this doesn't deter people from reading it. But it just wasn't for me.

The beginning starts off way WAY. I still don't have a clear picture of what was really going on with everything. I even ended up rereading a few chapters just to see if I could understand it better.

The way the book was written was very annoying. And it took me forever to reach chapter 12. When I can read a 600 page book in a day and it took me about 4 hours just to get to page 130. And the words that were used some of them were very hard to pronounce and I hate to think I'm saying it wrong.

Life Eternal (Dead Beautiful #2) by @yvonnewoon #BookReview

 
 
Ren e Winters has changed. When she looks in the mirror, a beautiful girl with an older, sadder face stares back. Her condition has doctors mystified, but Ren e can never reveal the truth: she died last May, and was brought back to life by the kiss of her Undead soul mate, Dante Berlin. 

Now, her separation from Dante becomes almost unbearable. His second life is close to an end, and each passing day means one less that she will spend with the boy who shares her soul.

Just when Ren e has almost given up hope, she learns of the Nine Sisters-brilliant scholars who, according to legend, found a way to cheat death. She can't shake the feeling that they are somehow connected to her dreams, strange visions that hint at a discovery so powerful, and so dangerous, that some will stop at nothing to protect it. 

Ren e thought she knew the truth about life and death. But there is a secret woven through history that holds the only hope for Dante and Ren e. Unless they find answers soon, their time together is doomed to be cut short.
