Bad Moon Rising by Frances Di Plino review

As a member of a Facebook Writer's/Publishers site and an
aspiring author myself , I posted asking if anyone wanted me to
read and review their books and that I post my review on
our Blog and almost instantly I received several offers to read
and review and I accepted them with gratitude and eager
anticipation.

 This is a review of the first brilliant book I was generously
given to read and what a fantastic book it turned out to be. 

Frances Di Plimo is a first class author who has produced
 a first class novel in 'Bad Moon Rising'. If you like a good
murder story that is solid and believable you'll LOVE this
one.

This novel is brilliantly executed and very well paced throughout 

with characters who come across as real as you and I. Each
of the main characters all have their own sub plots running 

throughout the book some more detailed than others, but they
help bring the book to life. Combined with scenes that are
described in such perfect graphic detail, the whole book paints
 a visual picture in the minds eye at the turn of each page. The story
revolves around the brutal murder and rape (yes in that order) of
prostitutes at the hands of a twisted and demented soul who
believes he is acting on behalf of God and Jesus. That's all I am
going to say as I don't want to give any more of  this superb
plot away.

'Bad Moon Rising' is a classic 21st century Detective Novel.

A top notch murder mystery, full of sinister religious undertones

and twists cleverly interwoven throughout and combined with
well crafted dialogue it makes this book very difficult to put
down.

But don't just take my word for it. Go and get 

'Bad Moon Rising'

by

Frances Di Plimo

and read it and enjoy it. You won't be disappointed.

Home School Your First Grader by Beth Jones Review

We were asked if we would like to review this book,

and as we home school our 9 year old son we thought it

to be a great idea, especially as we are quite new to the 

Home schooling world.

It is a very well written book. That is clear and concise in a 

friendly and reassuring way and gives a very positive attitude

to home schooling your child.

The book also does a great job at answering just about all

commonly asked questions, fears and concerns parents may have
about the world of home education. Including suggestions on how
 to get the most from your child by letting them feel as though they
have some 'control' over their home education from letting them pick
out writing materials, folders, arts and craft materials to helping to
create their lesson plans and where in the house they would feel
most comfortable to do their studies.

The book does also offer helpful suggestions for different lessons
too, including Science related subjects such as the things around us.

Ideas such as camping, nature hikes, laying on a blanket with your 

child and watching the clouds drift by or even watching the stars 

at night.

Advice is offered to parents who wish to home school, but have
toddlers running around the house, or may even have a new born
to cater too. It works for everyone.

All in all this is a friendly and informative book that will hopefully put

your mind at ease should you decide, like us, to enter the fun 

world of Home Schooling.

You can purchase this book from Amazon on
Paperback £3.69
Kindle £2.58

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for

 free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or 

services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The London Perfume Company Review

I was a little unsure what to expect when I agreed to review
The London Perfume Company website and as soon as I checked
out the home page  I knew I was going to enjoy the experience.

Thanks to the 'clean' neutral colour scheme of the background, 

attention is focused on the products and the literature and not
on a bright and busy background that may cause distraction.

The home page has all the ingredients needed to
allow potential customers to navigate their way
around the web site in a relaxed informative way.
There is a four page animated advert displaying
special offers,delivery, payment methods and of
course Perfume.

There is also a product search bar, as well as a site
contents list, and access to 'Our Best Sellers' range.
Also there is are sub-headings for different catagories
such as For Her, For Him a drop down menu bar for
the different and exciting  brands available on the site.
A Gift set section and of course a special offers section.

If you are wanting to know about the company, there is the usual
'About us' page which tells of the company's pledge to a 100%
customer commitment. There is even a 'Recruitment Page'
explaining what the company expects their staff to deliver
to the customer.

The Blog page is brilliant and contains fabulous deals, competitions
and of course offers advice to the customer.

All in all the London Perfume Company website is brilliant,
customer orientated and very easy to navigate.

Go on take a look for yourself here.

Models Own Top Turquoise Review

Models Own Top Turquoise

I was a little unsure if I would like this colour. The odour was 

not strong and was very easy to apply with a brush the length

 of my nails. I was surprised that it was quick drying leaving a 

glossy turquoise on my nails. I applied 3 coats which lasted

 on my nails for a week.

Having now seen it on my nails I LOVE this colour. 

Touching Evil -Amber Garr Review and giveaway

It is a story that is made up from the classic ingredients

that are required to produce a thoroughly enjoyable fast 

paced book with unexpected twists and turns that

Amber Garr has honed to perfection.

The heroine of the book Leila Marx is also the narrator so the 

story is seen through her eyes,experiences and reactions to 

events that unfold on every page.

From the very first page, the story is already at running pace.

What starts out as an apparently brilliant crime story in it's own
right, is unexpectedly turned on it's head with a supernatural twist.

The idea really does work well and is perfectly seamless.

Each character is well written, solid and believable.

As is every descriptive scene and situation. Keeping you

glued and wanting to turn the page to see what happens

next.

All in all 'TOUCHING EVIL' is a well written, 

murder mystery/supernatural story. Full of humour,

horror, suspense and looks at Supernatural characters

in a different light......
It has been an absolute pleasure to read and review this book.

To purchase this book on amazon:
Kindle
Paperback

or you can purchase via smashwords here

With one touch, Leila can see it all.

Leila Marx is trying to put her life back together after her fiancé is murdered. When Detective Garrick Pearson enlists her help with a difficult case, she is thankful for the distraction and the opportunity to use her talents as a touch clairvoyant. Leila and Garrick quickly delve into the mystery behind a series of missing teenage girls and mummified corpses while discovering their own growing attraction to each other. 

Conner Hoffman is an intriguing lawyer and striking half-demon who enters Leila’s life unexpectedly.  Although her visions are terrifying, she is fascinated by his charm and his legacy. When it becomes evident that the murders are linked to a paranormal event, Conner introduces Leila to a world unbeknownst to ordinary society. She suddenly finds herself immersed in supernatural politics, sorcery, and danger as she becomes the killer’s next target. 

Staying alive will mean relying on friends, accepting the unbelievable, and trusting in her heart again.

Visit Amber's website to read an excerpt, watch the trailer, and meet the characters.
