The Zombie Next Door: Zombie Zappers Book 3 by Nadia Higgins: Book Review

Today, here is a children's book review! We always have a inner-child  that wants to come out occasionally!

I had a chance to read a new release of "The Zombie Next Door: Zombie Zappers Book 3" by Nadia Higgins. It is published by Enslow Publishers which they sent my copy, thank you very much by the way!

It is the third book of the series of Zombie Zappers and here is my review on it;

I must say I love the adventurous friendship the book has and the strong friendship as well that helps each other and community. Eventually you see that technological devices and our young generation's interest in technology has a very big place in the story. Leo who is the main character, is very kind hearted and very imaginative. The story is enjoyable to read for I would suggest 10+ ages. Thank you for the fun read!

Once upon a Mulberry Field by C.L.Hoang

I've received the copy of "Once upon a Mulberry Field" written by C.L.Hoang. This is the first novel of the author and he spent 6 years to finish to this novel, so I believe that this love story will definitely touch me by heart!

The description follows;

"As Roger Connors, a widower with no children, ponders whether to pursue aggressive treatment for his cancer, a cryptic note arrives from a long-lost USAF buddy announcing the visit of an acquaintance from Vietnam. The startling news resurrects ghosts of fallen comrades and haunting memories of the great love he once knew.
Shocking revelations from his visitor uncover a missing part of Roger’s life he never dreamed possible. Peeling back one layer at a time, he delves into a decades-old secret in search of answers and traces of a passion unfulfilled.
From the jungles of Vietnam through the minefields of the heart, "Once upon a Mulberry Field" follows one man’s journey to self-discovery, fraught with disillusionment and despair but ultimately redeemed by the power of love."


I have won my copy on a giveaway at Goodreads.com, I am currently reading "The City Son" so I can't wait to start this story very soon!

A Demon in Waiting Book Review

"A Demon in Waiting" is light to read and very pleasing and sexy story, it is a story that you wonder what happens next! The characters are very influential. You fall in love with John, his romantic heart and you find something related to yourself in Ariel, her experiences in the life and her grandmother's protectiveness.

Their adventures become your adventure. You start to think that if Ariel did the right decision or wrong, if John is that innocent pure virgin or not or will he change once he discovers what the world offers him through his father and his brothers! How about his brothers? Will they help or will they back-stab him and report to their father?

After exhausting day it was great to read a sweet romance and their adventures. I honestly would love to read more about John's family, especially his father’s evilness hits the spot!

Author, Holley Trent, is from the location where the story takes you, therefore she is very well-built with local information she adds on the story. In my opinion this makes the story exceptionally alive to continue reading!

I believe it is a great series to read during summer and enjoy the hot temperature not from the season, also from the book!

I can't wait to read the second book of the series which is "A Demon in Love" which is released today!!!

A Demon in Waiting by Holley Trent

The package I've received today in mail, was the book of Holley Trent; A Demon in Waiting.





The author describe herself
Carolina girl gone west. She writes sassy, sexy contemporary romances and paranormal romances set in her home state.
To be honest, after couple of chapters through the story line, I can totally see her description and it just hits the spot!

Also, she went above and beyond and signed for me. Such an honor!
