Book Review: Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, oh my!




Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, oh my! (Xoe Meyers Young Adult Fantasy/Horror Series) [Kindle Edition]
Sara C. Roethle (Author)






“Xoe” is one of those books that you will simply not be able to put down from start to finish.

A gripping tale that sent chills down my spine and left me wanting more from Author Sara C. Roethle.

Alexondra Meyers, whose friends call Xoe, is developed perfectly in a stunning and captivating manner that is easy to relate too. At times you will find yourself rooting for her, while at others she will just make you cringe. Lisa, Allison, Dan and Jason together with Xoe all collide in an original unique story that entails vampires and werewolves. There is Adventure, Romance, Mystery, Fantasy and Suspense.

While the book is intended for a teenage audience I felt that all would enjoy. Total read time for me was about a day and a half and would definitely enjoy reading more from author Sara C. Roethle.  The Xoe Meyer’s series is truly unique and captivating. I shared with my teenage daughter and she too has become a fan of Xoe.

5 Stars!

Book Review: How To Kill Cancer Cells




How To Kill Cancer Cells

Book Review
By Michael Beas

http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Cancer-Cells-Natalie-Mitchell-ebook/dp/B00BH45QTI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1397745455&sr=1-1&keywords=%22How+to+kill+cancer+cells


Author and Nutritionist Natalie Mitchell take center stage in what seems to be the never-ending battle against Cancer.

In short, this is a unique and comprehensive book that will arm you with the tools needed to fight cancer through preventives. It’s truly a proactive approach to building a solid knowledge base that can lead to a more active, fit and hopefully cancer free lifestyle.

Some of the topics I found to be the most intriguing are the foods that are good and those that at least, on the outside, seem good and healthy but on the inside may in-fact be harming us. This book is well written in an easy to follow manner that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device well into the late night hours. I cannot stress how comprehensive this book truly is. The information found, is well researched and documented through various medial publications providing a solid backbone to the message being portrayed throughout the book. In other words its not something made up that has no baring on your life as is the case with many other books in the market today.

The vegetable acidity chart came as shock to me when I saw some of my favorite foods at the top of the list. It ‘s also great that this book is available in digital format, that way I can reference anytime I want on my kindle.

Words to describe this book are Informational, Comprehensive, Descriptive, Eye Opening, and Profound in so many ways that truly should be shared with everyone.

On a personal note I lost my Grandfather and Father to Cancer. As a society we need to not only invest money on cures, but also need to take a proactive approach to helping people live healthier lifestyles. This book is an amazing first step that I personally will reference over and over. Totally worth the investment and I Highly Recommend to all.

Book Review: Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)




Welcome to Deep Cove (Vellian Mysteries)
Grant T. Reed (Author, Illustrator) 


Book Review
By Michael Beas

An amazing and captivating story of classic proportion!

This is one of those books that you simply will not be able to put down once you get started. I was completely enthralled with this original storyline and plot theme that swept me away to the tiny coastal town of Deep Cove. All of the characters are developed perfectly, my favorite being Garrett Willigins, who was made detective but is still trying to scrape two pennies together to make a living.

Words to describe this book are: Fun, Exciting, Thrilling, Suspenseful, Descriptive, and Captivating in an adventurous way that will leave you wanting more.

An extremely well writing tale that will have you going into work late the next day and leave you wanting more. I was saddened to see it come to and end and can assure you that it will engulf the imagination well after you are done reading.

5 Stars

Book one of a two part story is a medical thriller that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat.

Part 1 will simply take you away in a suspenseful manner, and while there are many words to describe “The Diabolical Doctor: A Steele Russell Thriller,” by Author Robert Carlson, only one truly gives it justice: Gripping!

A lethal web of diabolical characters sets the stage for an all out rush to the end. From the very get go you will be enthralled with twist, and turns that will leave you breathless and have you sleeping with the lights on. Stem Cell Research has never seemed this dangerous.

Author Robert Carlson is the master of trepidation and his books are chilling in an astounding manner. This is a well written story with an original plot theme that surly will last the test of time.

5 Stars and cant wait to read more! Can't wait to go out and purchase the next.

Book Review: The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder




The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder

Book Review
By Michael Beas





An astounding collection of short stories that will engulf your mind and imagination!

Three words that best describe “The Elder Unearthed: Tales of NasNoroth and the Cult of the Elder” are: Creepy, Dark and Gripping. Author Michael Garza has does a fantastic job in this book. All of the characters are developed smoothly, and in a sweeping fashion that will set that stage for on the edge suspense.

In short this is a collection of twelve pieces in total. Nine of these pieces are stories, with the other three brief poems. All of which are haunting in a memorable way that is well written and original. The best quality that I like about Author Michael Garza is his writing style is his descriptiveness and his use of words. Both are simply brilliant and captivating that enthrall the senses in a picturesque fashion that is not easy to match.

I highly recommend this book to all interested in sleeping with the lights on!

5 Stars!

Book Review: RomperSuit





RomperSuit
Allen Jarvis (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas



London takes center stage in this amazing story of classical proportion!

This novel has it all: Real Life Correlations, Action, Humor, Violence, Sex, Marriage and a whole lot more. Everything comes together in an all battle the combines on an epic scale to capture the mind and imagination. While this is a work of fiction, the author’s descriptiveness engulfed my curiosity more oft then not. I sometimes even found myself wondering if the Pumphouse Gang actually existed.

Pealing back the layers of this astounding book you find the deeper meaning Author Allen Jarvis is trying to convey. In short this is a story of how people fight to make a difference and change in their lives.

Definitely an amazing book you don’t want to miss. This novel is an epic read that will surly last the test of time. The storyline and plot are original, the story is fast paced, well-written and easy to read and I believe will be enthralling to all who pick it up.

5 Stars and can not wait to see what Author Allen Jarvis comes up with next.

Book Review: Life Lessons of Wisdom and Motivation - Volume I




Life Lessons of Wisdom and Motivation - Volume I: Insightful, Enlightened and Inspirational quotations and proverbs
M.I. Seka (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Motivation in classic way that will leave a lasting impression!  
“Life Lessons of Wisdom and Motivation - Volume I: Insightful, Enlightened and Inspirational quotations and proverbs.” is just as the title states and does not fall short of its epic power found in the words it contains.  

Far and Away my favorite quote found in the book is “Without direction, we are like some debris floating in the ocean going wherever the current takes us.”  The strength behind these quotes and proverbs are inspirational but also motivating. Unlike your “run of the mill quote book, that is short and in my opinion not well thought out. ” this one is by far one of the best ones that I have come across.

Author M.I. Seka does a fantastic job of breaking out each chapter in a sweeping fashion that allows the reader to truly appreciate the essence of some of the most influential people in History. Their words complied and expressed in an easy to follow way are what captivated me most. It took me a total of three nights to read the words of wisdom contained in this book, and while finished I plan to go back on a more steady pace to appreciate each chapter more and to the fullest.

There are 4 volumes in this collection and I plan on purchasing the rest.

5 Stars and can not wait to read more.

A gripping thrill ride that will keep your eyes glued to your reading device.

This amazing storyline takes off from the very beginning and does not stop until the very end. Author Todd M. Thiede in his novel “Time Killer,” presents an original plot that will keep you on edge the entire time.

Stephen’s wife is butchered and two policemen begin what would be a long investigation of not just this killing, but many more that begin to occur.

Words that best describe this book are: Thrilling, Mysterious, Suspenseful, Original, Gripping and Captivating in all the right ways.

Book Review: Drowning Mermaids




Drowning Mermaids
Nadia Scrieva (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Drowning Mermaids is simply amazing.

This novel has it all: Action, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy and even Humor.

I am huge a Fantasy buff and as such the world that Author Nadia Scrieva created captivated my senses and imagination. In many ways I found this book to be a cross between “The Deadliest Catch” and the “Little Mermaid.” It has the makings of a movie that I envisioned in my head as the pages turned effortlessly.

The main characters Trevain, Aazuria, and Callder are original, they are developed exceptionally well and their personalities are easy to relate with. The storyline is grand and epic and the plot and over all themes will keep you on edge the whole time. I was sad to see it come to an end and can not wait to read more

It took me two-nights to read this story to completion. After reading, I recommended it to everyone in my family. They too have found it to be an amazing novel of classic proportion.

What else can be said? I am addicted to Drowning Mermaids, and I highly recommend it to everyone. 5 Stars and wish there were more stars to pass out.
