Synopsis:

He captured hearts and now he’s captured the spotlight.

Experience The Dreamcatcher, a novella comprised of scenes fromThe Dreamer told from Dev’s point of view, as well as seven extra scenes that did not appear in book one!

*This is a companion piece to The Dreamland Series and is to be read after The Dreamer for story consistency and spoilers.*

My Thoughts:

I was provided with an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review!

Gosh, this is just what I needed after finishing The Divide, more Dev! I'm so freaking in-love with this character and I'm over the moon that E.J. decided to write a novella in his perspective. I loved reading all his thoughts and feeling towards Molly. His wittiness and the way he protects Molly just made me fall for him all over again. I love when authors write novellas in other characters perspective and this one is perfect to read while we wait for the third book! E.J. I need more of Dev's perspective especially after the events that transpired in The Divide I need to know what’s going on in that beautiful head of his. If you have not picked this series up yet I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

Synopsis:

All Mr. Brown wants is a nice cup of tea and a peaceful evening with his cat on his knee. He’s too old for love and adventure. Or so he thinks. 

This morning when Harold Brown woke up, it seemed like a normal day. Why would a 50-year old man feel anything about a circus coming to the quiet town of Limberlost? But BonBon Circus has brought a Bengal tiger, and Harold’s never seen a tiger before. When he decides to disrupt his routine to visit the circus, it sets in motion a few other changes, all leading up to one thrilling day. Will Mr. Brown’s life ever be the same again?

My Thoughts:

The author was kind enough to send me her book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this short story or novella, I found myself wanting more when I reached the end.

This is a 42 page short novella about Harold a 50 year old man that has lived his entire life stuck in routine wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, leave work, eat dinner, and sleep, it has been like this for years. Harold is a man that keeps to himself he has no friends besides his cat and has no desire to make friends or break away from his routine; until the day the circus comes to his hometown. The circus has brought a tiger and Harold has never seen a tiger and is really intrigued by it, so he decided to break his routine and go to the circus to see the tiger after work.

I really love this story it was a quick read and the author's writing was superb, I love the way she described scenes she made me feel like I was right there next to Harold. I also loved the message the story is trying to send, that no matter your age it's never too late to break out of routine and do as your heart desires. I really do hope the author writes more about Harold and his life. If you're looking for a heartwarming story with a beautiful message look no further, also is super short so you have no excuse to not read it lol.

Ivory Dawn ( The Razors Adventure)

Book Review

Title: Ivory Dawn 

Author: P.S. Bartlett

Date Published: May 15, 2015

Publisher: Self-Published

Rating: ★★★★★ 

Meet the Author: P.S. Bartlett

Buy Me: Amazon 

Synopsis: 

Ivory Shepard didn't want to be a pirate when she grew up but she didn't plan on being orphaned and alone at thirteen with her three cousins either. 
After a Spanish raid in Charles Towne left them with nothing, Ivory held her cousins together, trained them to fight for their lives and led them to a life of quiet refuge on the banks of the Ashley River. Believing they were out of reach of the hands of unscrupulous men, they found life on the farm a tolerable substitute for the traditional alternatives life would force onto them—until the night the pirates showed up. 
Unfortunately for the pirates, these handy young women were ready, and they weren't going anywhere without a fight. 

This novella is a prequel to DEMONS & PEARLS. 

My Thoughts:

The author was kind enough to send me her book in exchange of an honest review. I’m so glad the author when ahead and wrote a prequel to Demons and Pearls; it answered my question of how the girls got in that situation and it showed a little more of each girl's personality, it also gives a little peek into where they came from and why Ivory was so desperate for an escape. I have really come to love these girls each one has a special place in my heart. I read this after I finished Demons and Pearls, but I recommend reading it before since it explains how Ivory and her cousins got Voyage on the Demon. I love this story and really recommend adventure lovers to pick it up!
