The Deepest Cut!

Sixteen-year-old Riley Williams has been able to see ghosts since the car crash that took her mother's life and shattered her family. Guilt-ridden over the belief that she's somehow responsible for her mom's death, Riley is desperate to see her mother's elusive spirit to gain her forgiveness. 
When her father moves the family to Scotland so they can all start over, Riley believes her life couldn't get worse––that is until the ghost of nineteen-year-old Ian MacKinnon catches her purposely cutting herself. An uneasy truce quickly turns into friendship, and soon Riley's falling hard for Ian. 
Riley believes her gift could help Ian end the curse that has kept him tied to the land for centuries, but that would mean letting him go forever and she's not sure she is strong enough to do that. As if her life wasn't complicated enough, the malevolent spirit of the woman who killed Ian returns and she'll stop at nothing to keep Riley from helping Ian find eternal peace. 





Loved this book from the start. Riley and her family move to Scotland after her fathers work takes them there. Riley is sixteen and has had a difficult time dealing with her mothers death. Riley and her mom where in a car accident where her mother was killed and Riley was saved . She has lived with the guilt all this time she thinks she is the reason her mom died she thinks that she is what caused the accident.  After the car accident Riley started seeing ghosts. After her move to Scotland she thought she would have a fresh start. Little did she know that wasnt going to be the case. Her father had bought a old inn and in the back yard was a Old castle. After being in the house for only a few moments she see a ghost. She doesnt say anything due to she doesn't want her father and brother thinking she is crazy and putting her back on medication to fight the supposed visions of ghost.
Riley a girl who can see ghosts only to ignore them for now. She is also a cutter someone who cuts to release pain.
She ends up seeing a Ghost who used to live in the Castle. His Name is Ian this is one ghost she cant ignore with his good looks. She was stunned to see him and instantly fell in love with him.  She finds he has a curse on him that is keeping him forever. Will she be able to break it. She runs into the ghost that is keeping Ian here Laria a slave girl who was hung for poisoning Ian. This girl is bad news when ever she is around she tries to take control of Riley's brother Shane.  This book was a good read. I didn't put it done finished it in a day. Really if you like ghosts witches and spells then this is a good book for you. You will grow to like Riley however I thought it was slightly silly that she falls for Ian the ghost. I mean really if someone who couldn't see ghost walks in and sees her kissing thin air really?? That for me was just silly I guess if you can see ghost you can touch them like they are human and they can kiss you back and you can feel it?  I however think for a 99cent book this is a good one. It was worth the time to read it. I do hope that they have a second book to this book it kind of was left hanging like  there should be a second book.  If you have not read this book yet I would say go buy it! Really it is just 99 cents and its good!

A good fast read and a good story line.

In My Mailbox #5

Its a been awhile since I have done one of these. I have been busy I have bought a few book some were free and some well they just looked good. So for this week these are all kindle books. I guess I have kind of given up on regular books and have become addicted to this little electronic device.  I LOVE IT so anyway here is my list for the week....


 Mousy London lawyer Alice Love gets her identity stolen and finds her true self in this rocky tale of trust, personality makeovers, and a lying globe-trotting thief. "She didn't leave me any worse off, in the end," Alice says of Ella, a work pal who makes off with Alice's credit card info to set up a new life in Hollywood. But before the ruse is over, Alice retaliates by morphing into a compulsive stalker, taking on Ella's identity, and discovering that a lot of little lies add up to a whole lot of fun. The transformation nearly costs her the love of a good man, but Alice comes (nearly) to her senses by the time she corners her arch-frenemy. McDonald (The Popularity Rules) keeps the pace brisk, but a plot busy with an international chase and Alice's many reinventions proves on occasion too much to handle, and Ella, paradoxically, proves a more intriguing character than Alice. What works best is what lies beneath all the frantic action: a good old-fashioned romantic page-turner

Sheltered from the outside world with no hope for escape, slave girl Reychel dreads her fifteenth birthday - when her master’s symbol is burned on the back of her bald scalp. Her best friend disappears the night before, leaving her to face the branding ceremony alone. She soon discovers nothing is as it seems when people desperate for freedom beg for Reychel's help.

Once we'd stowed my stuff in the back of my car, Ethan opened the car door and waited for me to get in. Even though I wanted to ask him so many questions, I was afraid to speak. It felt like we'd moved to a whole new level in our friendship, but I wasn't sure what that level was.

Every nerve ending urged me to hug him, to show my appreciation, but I was unsure. Would he pull away? I didn't need any more rejection in my life. "Thank you for being there," I said in an unsteady voice.

Ethan clasped my wrist and pulled me into his arms, holding me close. "I'll always be here for you."

I shuddered against his chest, mumbling into his flannel shirt. "You weren't at school and I didn't see you after practice. I thought for sure no one would hear me scream when those guys finally got their hands on--"

Warm fingers tilted my chin up. "I had something to do today, but I'd never leave you hanging. When I saw your stuff on the field and then I heard a guy yelling, 'She went this way,' in the woods..." he paused, tensing. "I freaked."

"You got to me just in time." I tried to smile but my lips trembled. "Who knew knights wore flannel shirts and Led Zeppelin tees?" I knew I sounded like a goof, but I didn't care. I wanted him to know how much his rescue meant to me.

Ethan leaned close and I closed my eyes as he lightly kissed my cheekbone, then my forehead. He had no idea that his gentle kiss had melted something inside me, how much I craved the physical connection. His warm lips lingered against my skin for a second before he took a step back and shoved his hands in his jean pockets.

"I'm no hero, Nara." His gaze narrowed briefly toward the woods. "Go home. I'll see you tomorrow."







Sixteen-year-old Riley Williams has been able to see ghosts 
since the car crash that took her mother's life and shattered her family. Guilt-ridden over the belief that she's somehow responsible for her mom's death, Riley is desperate to see her mother's elusive spirit to gain her forgiveness. 

When her father moves the family to Scotland so they can all start over, Riley believes her life couldn't get worse––that is until the ghost of nineteen-year-old Ian MacKinnon catches her purposely cutting herself. An uneasy truce quickly turns into friendship, and soon Riley's falling hard for Ian. 

Riley believes her gift could help Ian end the curse that has kept him tied to the land for centuries, but that would mean letting him go forever and she's not sure she is strong enough to do that. As if her life wasn't complicated enough, the malevolent spirit of the woman who killed Ian returns and she'll stop at nothing to keep Riley from helping Ian find eternal peace.



In her latest effort, Rallison returns to themes of sibling rivalry and romance, familiar to readers of Revenge of the Cheerleaders (2007). Here, though, she adds fractured-fairy-tale magic to the breezy plot. Sixteen-year-old Savannah is devastated when her boyfriend dumps her for her studious older sister, and she dreams that her life will take a fairy-tale turn, complete with a handsome prince, a ball, and a happy ending. Her wishes bring the astonishing arrival of Chrissy, an aspiring fairy godmother. Still in training and not quite in command of her magical abilities, Chrissy sends Savannah through a chain of otherworldly mishaps, including visits to Cinderella and Snow White’s stories and finally to the Middle Ages, where Savannah defeats a cast of magical creatures and discovers that regular guys are sometimes preferable to princes. Memos from Chrissy and her professors alternate with Savannah’s often hilarious narrative. The irreverent references to familiar tales, romantic twists, and frequent comedic asides will delight fans of light fantasy, as will the likable characters, who move beyond stereotype.






Sometimes size does matter…

Stephen couldn’t walk by the old pirate, outnumbered and losing a fight. Of course he had to help. He didn’t expect a ‘thank you’ for saving the Captain’s life, and he sure didn’t expect a gift, especially a gift like this! How could it be fairies are real, and yet he had no idea? 

She is so beautiful… and so tiny. There’s no reason to stick together, except that Trisha might need his help, at least for the time being to stay safe. Besides, she can help him find his brother. But when they track him down, a secret comes out. The pirates want their fairy back and his brother is mixed up in the mess of it. 

Everyone wants to find that special one, but “Phen” and Trisha both know they’re dreaming. How can they make a love like this work? And that’s a question for when they’re lives aren’t in danger.


I do Believe I got all these books threw amazon.com for .99cents! Wohoo me! watch for there reviews

The Body Finder!

So I am Back if you have not seen... I just finished The Body Finder


A gripping tale of a girl with a morbid ability that could lead her to a killer . . . and the boy who would never let anything happen to her.
Sixteen-year-old Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her unusual so-called gift. While her confusing feelings for her best friend are new, she has been able to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered—and the imprints that attach to their killers since she was a little girl. Violet has never considered her ability useful, but now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Fiercely protective of her, Jay agrees to help Violet search for the murderer. But even as she's falling in love, Violet is getting closer to discovering a killer . . . and becoming his prey herself.  From amazon.com

 I was a little afraid to read this book. I have heard mixed reviews on it. However I liked it! It was not one that I can say was an all time favorite but it was very good.  The friendship that Violet and Jay start out with remind me of a friendship I had when I was in high school as well. I loved the connection that they had. However it was kind of strange to me at first how he just kept popping up in places when she thought no one was following her. I at one point thought the killer was going to be Jay.  I think that the way she finds the bodies is different I could total see her becoming a detective using her skills and not telling anyone how she finds them. Violet I am surprised I thought she would have been more of a cast out then what she was a little geekier.  I wish there would have been more of a confrontation between Lissie and Violet I would have liked to see that.  But all in all this book was alright. I also for the first time put the book trailer with the review.
