Broken Dolls by BR Kingsolver Book Review

Broken Dolls by BR Kingsolver

Private investigator RB Kendrick makes her living nailing cheating spouses, digging up other dirt to help in a divorce, finding long-lost relatives, and occasionally sniffing out criminal activity and fraud. When she takes a job to find a missing girl, she has no idea she is headed for the most dangerous case of her career. Usually, her ability to read minds gives her an edge. But when the people she’s hunting are also telepaths, that advantage is limited. The search takes her into the dark underbelly of telepathic society, where anything, and anyone, is for sale. She discovers that telepathic women and girls are being trafficked as the ultimate sex slaves. With people trying to kill her, she’s on the run, not knowing who she can trust. Will she find the missing girl, or become a victim herself?

Review:

This is a unique Paranormal thriller. I found it hard to put down it is unlike any Paranormal thriller I have ever read truly fascinating.The main character Rhiannon is a British telepathic Private investigator who also aids in the search for a succubi.The story itself never leaves a dull moment I highly recommend to anyone.

About the Author:

I made silver and turquoise jewelry for almost a decade, ended up in nursing school, then took a master's in business. Along the way I worked in construction, as a newspaper editor, and somehow found a career working with computers. I love the outdoors, especially the Rocky Mountains. I've skied since high school, with one broken leg and one torn ACL to show for it. I've hiked and camped all my life. I love to travel, though I haven't done enough of it. I've seen a lot of Russia and Mexico, not enough of England and France. Amsterdam is amazing, and the Romanian Alps are breathtaking. Lake Tahoe is a favorite. I have a very significant other, two cats and two Basset Hounds. I'm currently living in Baltimore, nine blocks from the harbor, but still own a home in New Mexico.

Annie Crow Knoll-Sunrise Book Review

Annie Crow Knoll-Sunrise is the story of a place where people come to restore their spirits, heal their pain and reclaim their lives.

Annie is a determined young woman who is left to run her family's property after the death of her parents. Managing fourteen summer cottages with only the help of a family friend, she struggles to survive on her own. When she meets Drew, a young college professor, Annie thinks she's finally found a love she can trust.

But years of conflict and pain destroy their bond and leave Annie alone again, unless she can find lasting peace and passion in the most unlikely arms.

In this family saga, love, loss and history twine together the people whose lives are changed by Annie's determination and the magic of her knoll nestled along the head-waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

Review:

The author does a great job of reeling you in the story with the main character Annie Knoll a adventurous and funny girl that you feel like you grew up with and really want to know more about.. The story line is well written and very descriptive taking you through Annies life and Trials while on the Knooll and making me feel as though I also had been to the Knoll .I can't wait to read more from the Author

Crowdfunding for Social Good Book Review

Crowdfunding for Social Good: Financing Your Mark on the World
by Devin D. Thorpe
Over the last year of writing my Forbes blog, I have had the opportunity to really dig deeply into the world of crowdfunding. I’ve just completed my first draft of my new book, Crowdfunding for Social Good: Financing Your Mark on the World.

The book is a guide to successful crowdfunding for people who want to change the world.

The book is not a sequel to my book, Your Mark On The World , but it is written in the same spirit. I’ve studied a dozens of successful crowdfunding campaigns, interviewing the people behind them to learn their secrets for success.

Devin's Book, Your Mark on the World, was downloaded over 75,000 times and reached the #19 spot on Amazon's free book list--among all free books. It remains on the top 50 free nonfiction books at Amazon.

Review:
Devin does a excellent job describing Crowdfunding Campaigns as well as giving examples of successful Crowdfunding Campaigns .This book is a great resource that includes great tips to help you set up your own Campaign

Review:

Tilda Pinkerton's Magical Hats is the first in a series of chapter books for grades K1-4 . At my first glance of this book I find a colorful and Imaginative cover .Upon opening it I find pages my kids can color through out the book and a encouraging activity for children to do after reading each chapter the book is also equipped with a glossary at the back.

The Stories themselves were very entertaining for both my 4 year old and 8 year old.they also really enjoyed that they were actually allowed to color in a story book in a way making it there own .I like that my older child can also learn new words with the meanings easy to find.I and my children look forward too reading more from Angela Sheldon
