Under Currents by Nora Roberts

 


Goodreads Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4192348883

Another amazing story from Nora Roberts. However, I must warn you that Under Currents may trigger you due to issues of domestic violence and child abuse.

Nora Roberts does a great job capturing the emotions involved as the main character grows up in an abusive household and does his best to protect his sister. Through sheer determination and smarts, and a desire to protect each other, the siblings find a way out and have to learn to accept and move on from the past. The story also goes pretty in depth through the legal system as those who care for the siblings fight to get them justice.

I was nearly in tears throughout the story, and you couldn't help but watch as history repeats itself over and over and comes back to haunt them time and again. Though parts of the story are a bit rushed, as we start in childhood to the mid-thirties, the book is almost as thorough as Roberts trilogies. I highly recommend this book if you can handle reading about the sensitive topics.

As a cosplayer, the main threads that stick out are police, lawyers, and landscapers. However, as a teacher, I would use caution with this book as it does contain a little t of sensitive topics that could be triggering to readers. However, it makes me want to read more of Roberts' one shots as I normally prefer her trilogies. Great book that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster.

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...

Brown Wig with Colored Tips from TinyUnicorn Review

Hey all! I love this brown wig with colored tips from TinyUnicorn. It is great for us cosplayers who like to do a variety of original characters or just want a fun wig for day to day wear. https://www.amazon.com/TINYUNICORN/ About the Seller: Awesome seller. Have worked with them before and items always arrive quickly and is of good quality. About the Product: One of the nice things about this wig from TinyUnicorn is the fact that it is mostly a natural color. If you are like me and have brown hair, it is a lot easier to hide your natural hair under the wig without worrying about those stay hairs or edges that will often show especially if you are like me and struggle to secure the wig (I often have help with wigs but when I don't they will slide a little), your hair is not very noticeable when the wig slides. I tested the wig with a hair straightener and it is heat resistant. The dark blues and greens add a nice touch on the tips of the wig. When I wore the wig out, qu...

Orson the Great by Colm McElwain

I received an advance reading copy of this book for review. I'd probably rate it a 4.5, but there are no halfs for reviews.  Goodreads Review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/152594094-orson-the-great Orson the Great by Colm McElwain delves into the history of magic through the life of Orson Whitlock as Orson discovers the world of magic and family tradition.  Without spoiling too much, Orson must hone his skills and become the best magician or the fate of the magic world is at risk.  It’s a lot of pressure for a young man, but he has the support of his family and trusty sidekick Agatha to keep him on the right path as he faces Daxton the Destroyer and conspiracies in the fight for magic. The story is simply written with a good amount of fun details and magical background that will appeal to readers who enjoy young adult fiction.  McElwain brings the magic into Orson the Great without actually spoiling the tricks of the trade and keeping the magic real....
