         My problem with this book is that it lacked in depth, unlike her other novel ‘Second Summer Chance’.   The first hundred pages was a drag and I had a difficult time getting into the story. Also the main protagonist, Andie, lack dimensions and it did not feel a connection with her. She was very reserve and had little character growth. With that Clark, in my opinion, out shined her to the point that I’d rather have Clark narrate the story and I was looking forwards to his scenes more.             Furthermore, the relationships presented in this book were great. Andie and her Father shows that in a Father-Daughter relationship there are some happy moments as well as sad moments. Andie and Clark’s relationship shows the troubles romantic relationships come with and the importance of communication in a relationship. Lastly, Andie and her friends show the ups and downs with friendship and the...

I praise the author for writing diverse characters such as Lila, who is a strong female protagonist but also shows vulnerability that makes her more humane. Lila is a character, I believe, everyone could relate to one way or another. She is always searching for an adventure and is critical about world and looks at it in a half glass empty perspective. We are also introduced to Kell, who has this amazing gift, but despite this fact he still a down to earth guy who cares about the people around him especially Rhy.              Furthermore, just like any book that I like, I am really drawn with the politics within the book. I think it is a book wherein we can put into context International Relations Theories. We see how people can get greedy with power as seen in the government in grey Lo...

Available on July 26, 2016  Blurb:                           Fielding Bliss has never forgotten the summer of 1984: the year a heat wave scorched Breathed, Ohio. The year he became friends with the devil.                    Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered thirteen-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, assuming he's a runaway from a nearby farm town.   When word spreads that the devil has come to Breathed, not everyone is happy to welcome this self-proclaimed fallen angel. Murmurs follow him and tensions rise, along with the temperature as an unbearable heat wave rolls into town right along with him.
