Last Firehawk Book #8 - The Silver Swamp
The Silver Swamp - Katrina Charman

Audience: Early Elementary (1st-3rd)

Format: Ebook/Library Copy

 

Tag and Skyla stood in a dusty clearing and examined the magical map.

- first sentence

This is a cute story, with animal main characters who are on a quest. This is the first book of the series I read, but the kids at school love it. There is an introduction at the beginning of the book to remind kids what the characters are currently facing (the story continues from book to book).  The Branches books are a gentle bridge into chapter books for early readers. They still have pictures, but the stories are more complex and interesting. A great series for kids who like magical animals and adventure.

Welp this happened
Swamp Magic - Bobbi Romans

I was going to use this for my were square.  I did finish it, but I do not want to justify this book by giving it a square on my bingo card.  (I'm behind reviews again too).

 

The best thing I can say about this book is I got the kindle version for free.

 

Much of this book doesn't make sense, and the heroine is a complete fucking idiot.  The men apparently have some type of date rape drug scent.  And the only one who is smart is the witch you are supposed to be rooting against.

Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing
Swamp Thing, Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing - John Totleben,Stephen R. Bissette,Alan Moore 3.5 stars. 5 stars for chapters 1 and 2. The rest of this volume really fell flat in comparison. The first 2 chapters were so good, though, that I can't give this volume less than 4 stars.

Tick Tock – The Pendulum Files by P M Terrell @pmterrell
The Pendulum Files (Black Swamp Mysteries) - P.M. Terrell

OMG! The colors for The Pendulum Files by P M Terrell will jump off any bookshelf. I would grab the book for that reason alone, but the story inside kept me reading long into the night.

MY REVIEW

 

The beginning of The Pendulum Files by P M Terrell slapped me awake!

 

Dylan’s Song was soooo good, I just had to jump right into The Pendulum Files by P M Terrell and it began with a sense of foreboding and danger that more than met my expectations. Reeled me in, hook, line and sinker.

 

Each book can stand alone, with recurring characters and occasionally a new one added. They have become my family and I don’t want you to miss anything, so I do recommend beginning at the beginning. I believe, once you start, you won’t want to stop.

 

I love P M Terrell’s ability to layer plots, with multiple storylines running throughout.

The story will take us back to WWII and the lost riches of the Germans.

 

A premonition…

 

Oops, they missed that one and I wonder what will bite them in the ass because of it. OH NO! We take a terrible twist and Vicki becomes a primary target.

 

Brenda may be a second tier character, but I love her. She is a badass, take no prisoner type of gal, tough as nails. She will not stand still and let HIM take her out. She has her issues, has crossed the line and back again, but no one can accuse her of sitting idly by and letting life happen to her. She would fight on her own terms.

 

She brought Christopher to life. She is wild, passionate, unpredictable, and there is nothing he won’t do for her.

 

In Chris’ apartment…Gabucci…Brenda…the balcony…the fall…OMG! I fought along with Christopher…I was terrified for Brenda…OMG…I don’t believe it. P M, what are you doing to them. The author is not afraid to put her characters through the ringer, and make me wonder who will be left standing in the end.

 

The pendulum haunts Vicki. She is the only one to hear it. What does it mean?

 

Dylan has some of the craziest, funniest, ridiculous superstitions and insists, “It’s true.” I smile and shake my head at each and every one. Now, that’s some great writing P.

 

The political machinations read as if they are current events and, of course, there is misconduct, conspiracy, maybe even treason.

 

Even though the bombing of the ships mystery is solved, the story is far from over. What this family will face in the next dangerous adventure I can only guess, and I am eager to find out. Sooo, I eagerly being reading Cloak and Mirrors.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Pendulum Files by P M Terrell.

REVIEW BY DEBBIE - The Swamp Witch, #1 - #3 by Sonia Taylor Brock
The Inheritance of a Swamp Witch - Sonia Taylor Brock
A Witch's Welcome: The Swamp Witch Series - Sonia Taylor Brock,Caralee Caudelle,James W Brock
Hawk's Spell - Sonia Taylor Brock

In her debut novel, The Inheritance of a Swamp Witch, Sonia Taylor Brock draws on her experience growing up in Southern Louisiana to create an authentic setting complete with hanging Spanish moss, tasty cuisine, and spot-on Cajun speaking characters.  The story follows Dan Rawlings, a city slicker from Los Angeles who dreams of writing an article for the LA Times that will solidify his career as an investigative journalist.  He drives from Los Angeles to Southern Louisiana in search of a missing heir to the Hamilton family fortune.  Initially treated warily by the townsfolk who see him as an outsider asking too many questions, he is soon invited to travel deep into the swamp, to the home of Estelle Eschte, a wise, elderly woman and the matriarch of the Eschte family.  In a Cajun English dialect thicker than molasses, Estelle reveals the family history to Dan, and he realizes she is the key to his career-breaking story.  But Dan is just beginning to understand the true legacy of the Eschte family, as a host of supernatural characters line up on the sides of both good and evil, battling to lay claim to the Balance and forever alter the nature of magic as it exists in the world.  The Inheritance of a Swamp Witch is the first book in a planned eight book series, and will appeal to readers of supernatural, fantasy, paranormal urban fiction.

 

@SoniaTBrock, @debbiereadsbook, #New_Adult, #Paranormal, #Fantasy, 3 out of 5 (good)
