#Review of The Best-Kept Secrets of Parenting by Brad Wilcox, Jerrick Robbins

Family life can be like a road trip—filled with unpredictable challenges, problems, and situations that try your patience. While no family is perfect, do you ever wonder how some families seem to more effectively manage the challenges than others? Are there really secrets to how to do this thing called "parenting"? In fact, there are. International speaker, educator, father, and husband Brad Wilcox and co-author Jerrick Robbins share 18 of the most overlooked parenting principles that help families succeed, from the value of work to the importance of honesty to managing pressure and stress to finding humor in the most difficult situations. The Best-Kept Secrets of Parenting is not like other parenting books. It's a clear guide to values and principles that really work—if you apply them in your family. The honest, heartwarming, and personal experiences shared as "secrets" will truly make the difference in your family.

#Review of Made for You by @melissa_marr #Published @HarperTeen #Thanks @NightOwlReviews #Giveaway

Bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely books Melissa Marr’s first contemporary YA novel is a twisted southern gothic tale of obsession, romance, and murder. A killer is obsessed with Eva Tilling. Can she stop him, or will he claim her?

When Eva Tilling wakes up in the hospital, she’s confused—who in her sleepy little North Carolina town could have hit her with their car? And why? But before she can consider the question, she finds that she’s awoken with a strange new skill: the ability to foresee people’s deaths when they touch her. While she is recovering from the hit-and-run, Nate, an old flame, reappears, and the two must traverse their rocky past as they figure out how to use Eva’s power to keep her friends—and themselves—alive. But while Eva and Nate grow closer, the killer grows increasingly frantic in his attempt to get to Eva.

For the first time, New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr has applied her extraordinary talent to contemporary realism. Chilling twists, unrequited obsession, and high-stakes romance drive this Gothic, racy thriller—a story of small-town oppression and salvation. Melissa’s fans, and every YA reader, will find its wild ride enthralling.

#CheckOut Music City by @Saraphina_Marie Only $4.99 on @AmazonKindle http://ow.ly/Bf43Q

Banished from Ireland in the wake of an accident that snatched away both her mortal lover, Michael, and her banshee voice's power to sing souls to the beyond, Keela O'Reardon sets out to find the Oran na Cรฉle, the original banshee song, whose power birthed the banshees themselves. A century before, a mortal stole the song from the banshees and hid it somewhere deep in the history of Music City. If Keela can restore the Oran na Cรฉle to Ireland, she can return to her home, bring Michael back from the realm of the dead, and reclaim her banshee birthright.

The urge to sing is the very core of a banshee, and in Nashville, Keela does the one thing even more forbidden than dalliances with a mortal: she performs. In the spotlight, she discovers a new power to her voice. A power to entrance an audience. A power that others want. The strange Irish girl with the otherworldly voice is the talk of Nashville, but she's not there to be a star, no matter how much a record producer wants to make her one. She wants to find the banshee song buried in a city without banshees.

She's not the only one.
