The Witch and the Huntsman

If you're wondering who J.R. Rain is then you haven't been paying attention to Amazon lately. He's one of the top selling e-book authors on there and his books have garnered fans of all ages and genders. I first ran across his work in the Samantha Moon books and his witch series is a spin off of one of my favorite characters from the Samantha Moon series.  Allison Lopez starts life as being mildly psychic until she takes a vampire lover, Victor, who feeds off of her and by doing so increases her psychic abilities. Allison becomes best friends with Samantha Moon who is turned into a vampire by her lover Victor. If that's not complicated enough for you Allison then investigates a ghost incident where she reconnects with her lost witch soul sister Millicent who tells Allison that she's lived many lives before and her and Sam and Allison have been a triad of witches.  The Witch and the Huntsman is the third book in the Allison Lopez spin off series.

Quinn Loftis has the Midas Touch

Dream of Me by Quinn Loftis I have read several of Quinn’s books starting with the Elfin series, of which Elfin is the first book! I am up to date on that series and currently waiting for the 3 rd book Surrender to come out. If you love Faeries than this series is for you!!! I am up to book 3 in the Grey Wolves series and enjoy those as well! So if you love werewolves this series is for you! So now that I have plugged all her books in this review about Dream of Me I have decided that whatever Quinn Loftis wants to write about she will and she will do it well!  So this books not werewolves not vampires, not Fae or anything you would normally find. The Sandman, right totally different! I was down for how this could turn out. In Dream of Me the Sandman or Dair weaves dreams for important people. The Creator who sees all and knows all sends him to weave these dreams to show them the possibilities of what they might do.  It is still up to free will and there can be no influ

Please welcome our first kid reviewer for The Book Whisperers Ana. Ana is nine years old and loves to read. We are so excited to bring you her very first official book review right here on our blog! I was very impressed with Ana's review and couldn't wait to share it with you all. Ana read and reviewed the book The Eighth Day by Dianne K. Salerni. So without further ado below is Ana's answers to our book review questions. The Book Whisperers: What was the book about?  Ana : After Jaxon's parents died he has to go live with Riley, a stranger. When Jax is with Riley he experiences the 8th day, and Jax thinks here is an apocalypse because when he wakes up there are no people around. He sees a shadow in his next door neighbor's window. The "ghost" only shows up on the 8th day. He thinks he is left alone, and then he starts discovering why he was sent to Riley's house after all.

Graveyard Shift misses the mark.

Graveyard Shift by Angela Roquet             All that I can say about this book can be summed up in one succinct statement, so much wasted potential. Lana is a low-risk grim reaper from Eternity. In this setting all of the gods are included from Egyptian to Christian. Interesting right? Yes it is except the representative of Christian heaven is a drunk archangel Gabriel, which I am not really offended by just not excited that most of the gods are semi sort of flattering portrayals’ while a mostly unflattering one is portrayed for Christians. I like the concept she is going with an acceptance and togetherness. The souls are marked for their own destinations based on beliefs, I just felt that she didn’t quite achieve what she was going for unless she wanted Christians to be represented by a drunk archangel and kind of look like fools then I would say mission accomplished. As for why the rest of it fell flat I would say that she put so much in there that it became a little conf
