Heartborn, Her Guardian Angel Was Pushed by Terry Maggert is an intriguing book. I gave it four stars. Keiron was meant to be a hero. He has come to save Livvy Foster, a broken seventeen year old. His brother Garrick is angry, lacks control and filled with hate.

I received a complimentary copy from the author. That did not change my opinion for this review.

I received this book for review from NetGalley.

I'd give this 3.5 stars. This is my first book about angels. At the start, I felt like I was less interested in the House Windhook parts than the Livvy parts but as the story progressed it became all the way around. Chapters with Livvy became a little bit repetitive and there were many topics that I thought weren't explored enough. Therefore, I didn't really like the ending and the way it was handled, but I have to say the story was enjoyable. The way the world of angels was handled was great and I definitely want to read more about it.

I feel bad, because I feel like most of this book has passed me by and left me wondering just what I just read. Quite a lot of the plot is explained already in the blurb, but much more than that, I find it hard to describe.

Because of this I found it very hard to connect with the story or with any of the characters really, and I think it's save to say that the book was not for me. I didn't really care for Livvy, Keiron or any of the other characters.

I did like the way it was written as it made an easy read.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Carlie could kill two things in the world: magical creatures and cars. Then Carlie was walking in the creek and smelt roasting meat, when she got close enough Carlie saw a Wendigo then it was walking calmly toward her.Carlie had done a spell on a rock and threw it and it struck the chest of the Wendigo and the spell did it’s work and killed the Wendigo . Then a female Wendigo hit from behind Carlie but Carlie killed her also.  Carlie cooks at the only diner in town called The Hawthorne Diner or just the Diner. Carlie’s familiar was a twenty five pound Maine Coon cat named Gus. Carlie was a witch. Carlie rarely found time to date. Carlie likes knowing Tammy she makes Carlie’s life interesting and easy. Tammy delivered packages and Carlie ordered things. Carlie lives in the town of Halfway. Carlie was a white witch and rid the world of sickness. Carlie can usually rebound from anything in minutes which was one of the reasons why her spells were rarely off. Her grandmother/Gran constantly urged Carlie to strengthen and purify  her magic through embracing things on her charm bracelet as it was like a tiny arsenal of magical power.No witch in Carlie’s family went without a charm bracelet. Carlie’s family seemed to be the quietest practitioners of witchcraft in all of history. They behaved and paid their taxes. Carlie could not remember one instance when  they  been at the head or the tail end of any uprisings. Carlie’s family didn’t like drama. Carlie heard her name called and  it turned out to be her new neighbor Major. Then Major told Carlie he was an investigator of sorts . he looked for a lot of things when they needed to be found.  Major was looking for a group of American Chestnut trees as all other tree of this type had been destroyed  but his grandmother had seen a picture of the trees they were suppose to be. Major was here to find the trees. He heard the trees were at Thendara. This trip was to be strictly a confirmer trip for Major. He wants to take some pictures maybe get a leaf or two and and put the destination into his GPS. He wanted Carlie to help him find the trees. After Major left Carlie rushed to her grandmother’s house. Carlie’s grandmother said there is something that killed at Thendara and it will kill again.  Then another investigator -Jim- comes to Carlie and he asks for the same help but fills in a lot more questions . Jim used to be a cop. Jim and Carlie go into the forest to find the trees and there meet Wulfrie an ancient Viking vampire. Also a ghost had called to Carlie from those same woods.

I liked this book. For the most part it is a good read all though a little tough getting into but once it really caught my attention it had no problem keeping my attention. I love how Carlie adores her Gran . But where did Major go why  even bring him into the story at all? But anyway this had a good plot and ending. I liked the characters a lot and all the ins and outs of the story and I recommend.

Call of Shadows: A Fearless Series Short Story (The Fearless Book 0) by Terry Maggert is a puzzling short story about a monster and her Helper. I gave it four stars.

The simple cross was used as bait. "Less than two feet high, of a simple design, the roadside monument was like the thousands of others that dot the rural South and elicit a sympathetic what a shame or intemperate thoughts of just desserts for rowdy youth."
