What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo


Having read the preview "What Big Teeth" by Rose Szano, I had expected a coming of age story.  Though right, I was not nearly correct in the fact that I missed the huge elements of mystery and suspense as I followed Eleanor through her family of monsters as she tried to come to terms with who she was, despite the missing chunks in her memory, and with the fact that her family had previously abandoned her.  She has to decide whether to abandon the family who had sent her away or to save them from the mistakes she herself had made.  Without giving too much away, it is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as Eleanor has to figure out the truth amongst all the secrets hidden within the Zarrin family.

Why did her grandmother die?  What happened when she was a child that got her sent away?  What were the tarot cards trying to warn her about?  Who are the true monsters?  Why did the other family members dislike and fear her mother's mom, her other grandmother?  Does she deserve to be loved?  Who truly loves her?  What path should she take?  Are the feelings she feels true?  Who is Arthur? 

There are so many questions to be answered as Eleanor comes of age and struggles to figure things out.  I highly recommend this story for those who love fantasy and suspense.

As a cosplayer, there are so many characters to portray.  The wolf shapeshifters, the elegant grandmother, the polyps filled mother, the glasses wearing Arthur, etc.  It would take a really skilled cosplayer to do these characters justice.  Either way, definitely give this story a chance.  It holds a lot more than it seems.

Forbidden Griffin by Zoe Chant

I received "Forbidden Griffin" by Zoe Chant as an ARC.  "Forbidden Griffin" is a shifter romance between two exiled griffins.  While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Cela is exiled from Griffin Island because her babies were not born griffins.  A nice enforcer suggests she find Tyr to help her out.  Needless to say, Cela and Tyr get a lot more than they bargained for when they meet and Tyr helps Cela get used to living in a human world, as Cela had never been off the island.  They'd make a nice family... if only they could touch.  The story follows Tyr and Cela's journey to break their curse and become a family along the way.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well as new and blended families.  Though this is the 8th book in Chant's Bodyguard Shifters series, it is easily read as a standalone, though there are a few references to things that happened in prior books.  I will definitely be going back to read the othe...

Fireborne by Rosaria Munda

Hey all, it's been a while since I posted a review but I couldn't help but share this story. Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Fireborne-AURELIAN-CYCLE-Book-1-ebook/dp/B07MYGW4K3/ Without spoiling too much of the story, I had the pleasure of reading and advanced reading copy (ARC) of Fireborne by Rosaria Munda which had me hooked from page one, both as an avid reader of fantasy and romance and as a teacher. I highly recommend the book if you enjoyed reading Seraphina by Rachel Hartman or Eragon by Christopher Paolini. As someone who appreciates character growth in the story, it was a pleasure to watch two unlikely friends, Annie and Lee, work through their past, their goals for the future, people's expectations, and the war that threatens to destroy their worlds all while dealing with the emotional upheaval of being a teen without parents and training to become the leader of the dragon riders, aka Firstrider and the Fleet Commander. Lee, a dragonlord's son...

Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE Review

Hey all! I love this mini Bluetooth stereo from FREEWISE. It is great for us cosplayers who like to make videos of us in character or sing our favorite songs from the series. Also, pay attention to this review because I may be GIVING AWAY one of these great speakers soon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GR46AVU/ About the Seller: The seller was very prompt in sending the package and it arrived on time. I did not need to contact the seller and everything was packaged well. Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-42QM_6W0o About the Product: I chose to review the blue Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE but it actually comes in three colors: blue, rose gold, and silver. The speaker comes with a connector so you can hang it off your phone, a charging cord (though it can be any mini USB cord as my phone charger works perfectly with it), and directions. It is pretty easy to set up even without the directions (I should know as I accidentally left the direction...
