Under the Light, but I'm Over the Moon~ You guessed it a review!

Under the Light is the sequel to A Certain Slant of Light by author Laura Whitcomb.
Wow! Most of the time when you get the sequel to a book that you thought was amazing the second one tends to screw everything up. That is so not the case here!
Under the Light is told from the point of view of Jenny and the ghost Helen from A Certain Slant. Basically you are getting the aftermath of what happened during the time that Jenny was possessed by Helen and how Jenny has to pick up the pieces joining forces with Billy (the gut James possessed) and them coming to discover that someone had lived both of their life's while they was gone, yes I did say possessed and gone where? Read and find out. Ha!! 
It is a beautiful story filled with persons coming together and falling apart and finding your voice to stand up for your self and say "Enough already". Laura Whitcomb does a magnanimous job of transitioning between Helen and Jenny's points of view to tell a wonderful story of love and loss and what it means to let go. Thank you for writing such an amazing story that I will no doubt re-read time and again!!!

A Review: Another Little Piece ~ Kate Karyus Quinn

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
The spine-tingling horror of Stephen King meets an eerie mystery worthy of Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars series in Kate Karyus Quinn’s haunting debut.
On a cool autumn night, Annaliese Rose Gordon stumbled out of the woods and into a high school party. She was screaming. Drenched in blood. Then she vanished.
A year later, Annaliese is found wandering down a road hundreds of miles away. She doesn’t know who she is. She doesn’t know how she got there. She only knows one thing: She is not the real Annaliese Rose Gordon.
Now Annaliese is haunted by strange visions and broken memories. Memories of a reckless, desperate wish … a bloody razor … and the faces of other girls who disappeared. Piece by piece, Annaliese’s fractured memories come together to reveal a violent, endless cycle that she will never escape—unless she can unlock the twisted secrets of her past.
THE REVIEW:
Another Little Piece is quite the interesting read. I spent most of my time while reading this book in a various stages of discomfort and confusion, I can’t tell you how many times I put it down positively sure I would not pick it up again only to find my curiosity getting the better of me and picking the book up right where I left off. Now I don’t want to mislead I did not finish this book, no disrespect to Kate Karyus Quinn, I just did become too uncomfortable to finish. I will say this book is geared toward an older audience, at least 17 years +. There is a lot going on in this book told in present time and also flashbacks. I felt like I was reading some twisted version of the movie Jennifer’s Body, which is strange considering how twisted that movie was to begin with. This was not my favorite book I have ever read, but I will give the author credit for her creativity and whether you read it and hate it or love it I am sure you will remember it for sometime after you’re done. There’s really no way to give away too much info without spoiling the book. I will say that if you are easily squeamish and books of a dark supernatural nature offend you then this it not you’re book.
