Saga of Wealth Book Review


Saga of Wealth by Cassia Cassitas

This is a long read for a kindle so I will warn you of that (though maybe it is just for me because I have such terrible eyes). Cassia's writing is really easy to follow and makes reading the book easy as well. The book is set during the financial crisis of 2008 and touches on subjects such as the real estate market, unemployment, self employment, etc. You get to follow Ricardo and his wife while they try to make decisions regarding their growing family's financial future.

The book is available on amazon as an eBook for $3.99 or you can invest in the paperback copy (I LOVE physically having a book in my possession) for 10.28.

Directly from their Amazon page (to give you just a bit more information on the book directly from them): 

Saga of Wealth is a historical fiction novel set during the financial crisis of 2008.

The novel tells a story of people who live in the era of finance, fund implementation risk and the quest for money and power. People that, despite real estate bubbles, subprime securities and unemployment, envision and pursue paths of prosperity.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities! Review


I have always been interested in Ripley’s Believe It or Not items since I have yet to make it to a museum (I live too far away!). This book is amazing. It has so much information and you receive a large book filled with crazy facts for such a great price. You will find “eye-popping oddities” for just about every imaginable category – whether it be animals, tattoos, bugs, plants, accidents, food, etc.


There is something for everyone in this book and even some things you will wish you never saw or heard of so be careful with some photos and stories as they are not for the faint of heart! I believe this book has made me a fan and I may need to add to my collection because it's just fun to learn new things.

Check their book out here for $14.99

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Riding by Cassia Cassitas -- Book Review


Riding by Cassia Cassitas is a book written about a young boy who is disabled and has a dream to be a part of The Olympics. He dreams to be an Olympic cyclist despite his physical disabilities.

Cassia tells this entire story through numerous short stories all which contain a struggle of some sort which engages the reader and keeps you wanting to read more and see how the characters evolve and work through their troubles.

This book would be great for a young adult to help provide them inspiration and motivation to work toward achieving their goals regardless of what may be in their way.

You can order this book and load it onto your Kindle for free or it is available in paperback as well on Amazon for $9.68 - As stated in previous book reviews, I will not give away too many details in my blog posts because I do not want to ruin the book for any of my readers by telling everything that takes place.

A Black Deeper Than Death eBook Review


Check out A Black Deeper Than Death here if you are looking for a new eBook. It's currently free for the Kindle.

This book is listed as a young adult which may be reaching. I'm not sure I would want my young teen reading this book because it is a bit dark and has a lot of language for the main character to be sixteen herself but that is up to you. Lucky for me my daughter is only two years old so I don't need to worry about the books she is reading currently!

The main character is a sixteen year old girl who is emancipated from her parents and living with her grandfather who has basically given up being able to stop her self destructive behaviors. She is able to "feel" what others are experiencing especially when drunk (hence why this may not be the best for your young teen...a 16 year old drunk who has left her parents' home). This book starts off with her being kicked out of a club and experiencing a woman's murder in one of her drunken visions which leads the police to believe she is the main suspect. How else could she know exactly what took place? She then becomes very involved with the young victims life while trying to locate the killer and what exactly took place.

This is the first of eight books and while I'm not on the edge of my seat for the next I still would like to see what happens to Miki next so I will likely pick up the next book to find out.

Greyson Gray: Fair Game Book Review


I received the second book in the Greyson Gray series to read and review electronically. Fair Game can be found here if you would like to check it out. I'm not going to go into extreme detail in my blog because I hate spoilers and I don't want to do that to my readers. Any time I do a book review expect that of me, I will not ruin a book for you. 

The hero Greyson Gray has been put into hiding from a terrorist group and in this book he is at it again trying to save the day, this time at the Iowa State Fair. He has been in hiding with his mother and suddenly he is allowed to go to the fair with his friends and naturally he finds the bad guys (and they find him!)

The book is targeted toward Young Adults and is great for teens but I'm 28 and could still get involved in the story line and want to know what was going to happen to Greyson Gray and his friends next! The emotions are there and you experience exactly what they do.

Maxx Fragg V.P.I Book Review


I received an electronic copy of Maxx Fragg V.P.I. to read for free in exchange for my honest review. I am not going to give TOO many details in my blog because I don't want to ruin the book for any of my readers by providing spoilers.

This book caught my attention from the first chapter. I didn't have to force myself to keep reading and I was actually interested and couldn't wait to get to the next chapter. I love a good thriller which this book gave me along with a little horror. The author typically does Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror so if you are into those or if you are a gamer (VPI stands for Virtual Paranormal Investigator!) then I think this book is for you.

In the book Maxx loses his brother in a car accident where he is the driver. In order to deal with this he finds escape in a virtual world posing as a paranormal investigator with his best friend. But then a real ghost attacks them within this fantasy program and Maxx is saved by...his brother?? Can that be real?? I suggest you read to find out but my answer is...perhaps.
