review	Science fiction, especially space opera, has always been my favorite genre to read. Because of this, when I got an opportunity to read The Helavite War – Vol. 1 of the Star Traveler Series by Theresa Snyder, I jumped at it. I was not disappointed. This is an excellent work of sci-fi that is very easy to read but it will grab you by the seat of the pants and will not let you go throughout the entire book. The author did an excellent job of developing the storyline and kept adding new twist and turns which kept me glued to the story. The story was both very real and believable which made it easier to follow. I really liked the characters Theresa Snyder created in the story. Again, they were both believable and real. This made it easy to identify with them and get into each of their stories. I really enjoyed The Helavite War by Theresa Snyder and I highly recommend it to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]       Click Here to order your copy of The Helavite War from Amazon.com

review	Having read several of Michael J. Webb’s books I knew this one would be an exciting read, but that turned out to be an understatement. Infernal Gates by Michael J. Webb will leave you exhausted from excitement. It is full of action and adventure. With every new turn and twist the author builds on the intrigue which demands your continued reading. The storyline is well developed yet it is easy to follow. I found it hard to put this book down once I started it. This is the type of story that you can put yourself into as an unseen character and really get involved as the story progresses. I love when this happens as it makes the story come alive to me as a reader. I really like the way Michael J. Webb developed each of the characters in the story. They were both real and personal. It was easy to develop an attachment to them. I really liked Infernal Gates by Michael J. Webb and I highly recommend this book to all readers.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of Infernal Gates from Amazon.com

This made the story a little hard to follow at times but overall it was a good book.   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]     Click Here to order your copy of The Traveler Within from Amazon.com

review	The Officer’s Code by Lyn Alexander is an excellent historical novel full of action, adventure and romance. The further I got into the book the harder it was to put it down. The author did a great job of developing a story that was easy to follow and real to life. I really like her writing style. It is so important, in this time of story, for the emotions to convey by the words to the reader and Lyn Alexander wrote just such a book. The book was full of action and intrigue but the characters is what made the book so powerful. I found them to be so believable it was easy to put myself into the story and follow along. Once again the emotion written into the story was a powerful tool to captivate reader by bringing the characters to life. I really enjoyed The Officer’s Code by Lyn Alexander and I highly recommend it to all readers.

review	I have always liked making faces at children and for them to make faces at me. The Funny Face Book by Molly Moss is a great rhyming book about funny faces and adjusting to a new school. I like rhyming children’s books and the author did a great job using her rhyming storytelling to show how the other children made Jake feel at home at his new school. Each story was funny and made me laugh. I really enjoyed The Funny Face Book by Molly Moss and I highly recommend this book. I give it my "Grandpa Seal of Approval."   [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.] Click Here to order your copy of The Funny Face Book from Amazon.com

review	Cumoro by Marshall Best, the second book of The Chronicles of Guiamo Durmius Stolo, is an excellent book which will leave you breathless each time you take a break. The action packed, and I mean action packed, adventure is non-stop from page one until the end. The author did an excellent job of moving seamlessly from where the first book ended directly into this story. The storylines continues to develop and new twists are constantly being added. This volume, though best if read with the first volume, can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone story. I really like how in this story the author weaves historical facts into the mythological folklore of the era and region. Marshall Best is an excellent storyteller and part of what makes his stories so good is his character development. Each of his characters are both believable and real to life which makes them easy to identify with. Not only are they strong and wise as you would expect from a hero, but they each have a humanity which comes out in the story. I really liked Cumoro by Marshall Best and I highly recommend this book to all readers. I recommend you also read the first book of the series, Guiamo, in order to gain the full appreciation of this great series.     [Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]   Click Here to order your copy of Cumoro from Amazon.com Click Here to order your e-version of Cumoro from Smashwords.com
