#Tour #Giveaway #Review of Chantress Alchemy (Chantress Trilogy #2) by @AB_Greenfield #Published @SimonTeen

Lucy races against time and magic in this sequel to the “richly and thoughtfully written” (Publishers Weekly) Chantress.

Lucy is the last Chantress, the only remaining girl who can sing magic into the world. Since she defeated the evil Lord Scargrave, England has changed—and not for the better. With crops failing and the people rebelling, Lucy is called urgently back to King Henry’s court. His Inner Council is convinced that making gold through alchemy will save England. But a critical element to the alchemical process has been stolen. Lucy is tasked with finding it with her magic… or else. And until she succeeds, the castle is on lockdown.

Court too has changed. Scargrave's brutal Chantress-hunter has become King Henry's closest advisor. Lucy’s beloved Nat has fallen out of favor and is shunned by his colleagues; their romance means trouble for both of them. Worst of all, something goes wrong with Lucy’s magic. The palace is a labyrinth, and there’s a monster at its heart — a monster who may have the power to defeat Lucy once and for all. 

Amy Butler Greenfield returns to the beguiling world of Chantress for a suspenseful tale of courtly intrigue, music, and magic in Chantress Alchemy.

#Review of Pop Art: Decorating & Shaping Custom Cake Pops by Kris Galicia Brown #Published @CedarFortBooks

                                                        You've never seen cake pops like these! Hot Air Balloons, Pineapples, Robots, and Easter Baskets---cake pop artist Kris Galicia Brown shows you how to shape, dip, and decorate over 40 amazing designs. Make your cake pops phenomenal with Pop Art!

Website | FacebookOk, on to my background info. I’m pretty sure some of you are curious as to who the hell this chick is that makes these crazy cake pops…

Well, it was by accident that I found out I had this random talent of making crazy cake pops. Before this journey into the sweets and cute food world, I was in advertising. I worked for, which at the time, was one of the top 10 ad agencies in San Diego. I started as an intern and hired on while still in college; I have a BS in advertising & design. I did the majority of the graphic design work and played a huge role in the art direction and conception of the jobs. So anyway, this explains my eye for detail and always producing “clean” works. I also do my own photography. I have a high standard of quality when it comes to things I produce, whatever it may be.

Long story short, I was pregnant when the economy went down the toilet. After having my first daughter, when it was time to go back to work, there pretty much was none. The agency (like any other ad agency) lost accounts and had to make cuts. I was cut. For more on this author visit her website.

I have to say that I ADORE this book. It has great recipes for all kinds of Cake Pops.  From Cows to Strawberries to even a Barbecue Grill. This book has easy to follow recipes that all ages will be able to follow and do.  This would be great for parities as well as all functions where you need something creative.

"*I received a copy of this book for free to review, this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own. OR I purchased the book on my own."

#Review of Sweet Reckoning (The Sweet Trilogy #3) by @Wendy_Higgins #Published @HarperTeen

It’s time. 

Evil is running rampant and sweet Anna Whitt is its target. Nobody knows when or how the Dukes will strike, but Anna and her Nephilim allies will do anything necessary to rid the earth of the demons and their oppressive ways.

The stakes are higher than ever, and Anna is determined that the love she feels will be her strength, not a liability. But trying to protect the ones she loves while running for her life and battling demonic forces proves to be perilous—especially as faces are changing and trust is fleeting. When the Duke of Lust sends Anna’s great love, Kaidan Rowe, to work against her, Anna must decide how much she’s prepared to risk.

In the most sensual and fast-paced installment yet, Sweet Reckoning brings all the beloved Neph together one last time to fight for their freedom.
