SEC4RETS BY A.L. BURGOS REVIEW





Sec4rets by A.L. Burgos

Review

I will give this 4 out of 5 starsI loved this book. I normally do not read this type of book, teenage drama was never my thing. I went through enough of it as a teenager. But I loved this book! I wanted more, there were the characters you loved, the characters you loved to hate... those you just plain hated... those you related to... I won't go into much detail because people should read this book, it deals with a lot of real issues. It is a quick read, I read it in just a day. I loved some of the characters and hated others. I had my ideas about who it was that knew the secrets. It was a fast paced book that kept you on the edge of your seat, leaving you wanting more, and leaving you loving and hating the characters. I would recommend it for older teens and young adults, there is some language to it, but what teen doesn't say a cuss word now and then. Now why did it get 4 and not five if I loved it so much? There were parts where I had to go back and reread just make sure that I knew what was going on. Within chapters you transition from one character to another, and there is no space no clear transition. The other thing though I love dialogue, it seemed there were some parts that needed more, there could have been more details of a scene or the facial expressions of the characters. There is so much you can get from dialogue but sometimes the dialogue needs a little help. There were some other little details that didn't really make to much sense but they are forgivable. I am very excited to know there is a book two because I so want more of these characters. So if you want teen drama you have found it with this book. It is an edge of your seat roller-coaster ride of drama and breathtaking moments that create characters you will love to hate, and hate to love. A great first novel from A.L. Burgos!

Doc Chaos: The Chernobyl Effect Review

Doc Chaos: The Chernobyl EffectDoc Chaos: The Chernobyl Effect by David  Thorpe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow, what can I say?  I was just kind of floating around looking for something different to read, and I saw a post asking if people would like a ecopy to review this work from the author.  So I took the chance.  And I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I was not really 100% expecting to, because it is different from what I write, from what I read, but this really caught my attention and dragged me and and would not let go.  It has been a long time since I found something that truly different from my norm that grabbed me and kept me entertained.  Nothing I can say can prepare you for this book other than you will enjoy it.  I cannot begin to compare this to other works.  This piece is unique and of its own.  You will not be disappointed in this book.

He received the position where he met the Healing Professor James Porter, who introduced Antonio to his daughter, Sandra Porter, who was studying Healing under her father.  For Antonio it was love at first sight.  Antonino asked for permission to court Sandra.  James was quite happy with the arrangement, however Sandra was not.  She denied her feelings for Antonio, until a horrible accident.  Sandra had been traveling with her Electrokinesis master, when they were attacked by a group of witch hunters.  They were about to burn her at the stake when Antonio showed up, he prevented the fire from touching her, teleporting her from the scene.  Upon teleporting her back to the school, her father found out the reason they had been able to catch her was a rouge potion master had provided the villagers with a drug to bind the witches powers.  Antonio was furious, he hunted down the Warlock responsible, finding out it was a former friend from school, Hayden Burton.  He went to the local Guardian's and had Burton thrown into to Dastardly where he still resides to this day for his crimes against the magical community.  Upon returning from Cairo, Antonio stayed by Sandra's side while she healed.  Sandra fell in love, and soon Antonio was asking for Jame's permission to marry Sandra.  They were married on September 20th, 1795.  Sandra continued her studies.  They were unsuccessful for many years in conceiving though they wanted a large family.  They were going to look into adoption when they found out on their 196th anniversary that they were going to have a child.  Antonio Jr. was born on March 25th 1992.  They bought a lovely town house in New York City soon after Antonio Jr.'s birth.  On December 30th 2012 they accepted Katherine Lillian Fitz into their home, being granted guardianship on December 27th, 2013.  Antonio Sr. was one of the first to be told about the events that unfolded at the end of Katy Lily's first year.  He finally came to accept the events that happened.  To Be Continued...

Now she must not only battle the deadlies to send them back to their place in hell; she must fight a growing attraction to The Morning Star... Lucifer himself... Will the hunt for The Seven Deadlies destroy her chance at redeeming her soul? Or is Lucifer right... That she is destined to become the Mistress of Hell?

Like the mythical Phoenix, she rose from the ashes of death to defend mankind from the demons of hell. Kari gave her life to fight the beings of hell, and now she will risk her soul to continue the battle... Join her on her journey to Hell and back...
