Binding 13 Book Review

Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh was recommended to me over the summer through my Facebook book group. I saw it had really good reviews. I didn’t look into it for a while because I was indulging in other book series. I wasn’t too interested at first, then one day while at Books A Million I saw it on the table. The description on the back of the book was intriguing so I bought it. It sat on my bookshelf for a month or two before I finally picked it up. When I first started it, I had a little bit of a difficult time getting into it. After a few chapters, I was really into it. I ended up buying the second book, Keeping 13 and so far so good. The story line of this book is about Johnny Kavanagh, a popular rugby player who is destined to go to the academy and play professionally. He has everything going for him, a great group of friends, good parents and a lifestyle most would dream about. Mr. Kavanagh has a secret though, he has been hiding a painful injury that could halt the magnificent trajectory of his career. This means he has no time for distractions or a girlfriend. His world spins out of orbit when Shannon Lynch transfers to Tommen after the Christmas Holiday. Shannon Lynch has been bullied all her life. She is shy and would rather hide herself away to make it through school. After a mishap on her first day at her new school, Kavanagh takes her under his wing. They slowly start to fall in love with her. Shannon also has a secret. She is terribly abused by her father at home. Some parts of her home life can be a bit triggering. Johny starts to put the pieces together at the end of the book, which leads into book 2. At first I would have given this book 3-4 stars, but it's a 5 star book that has me already adding the series to my Christmas list.

Fade Into You - L.A. Ferro Book Review

L. A. Ferro stole all my attention with her book Fade Into You. This is my second book I have read by this author and I was enthralled by the adventure she took her main character Mackenzie on. This book is full of suspense. There were a lot of characters who interacted with each other in many different ways. Each of them with their own skeletons, it was almost difficult to keep track. I thought I was going to have to make a character map. Over all, the way Ferro tied it all together was fascinating. The main characters Mackenzie and Connor did not choose each other, though really they did at the very beginning of the book, they didn’t have a choice in how their relationship began. Forced into an arranged marriage, to protect people who meant the world to them, the characters were determined to have an expiration date on their marriage. The walls they put up, slowly (very slowly) began to crumble as they fell in love. Both of them had secrets and needed answers. This book shows you how...

Salt by L.A. Ferro Book Review

BOOK REVIEW: Salt by L.A. Ferro will captivate all of your time. This was my first book I have read by this author and she did not disappoint. Salt is a fiction book that revolves around an age gapped romance. The main female character, Cameron Salt, went to live with her dad’s best friend Everett Callahan, when she was 17 years old, after the death of her parents. Her dad trusted his best friend to look out for her. Cameron always loved Everett. When she turned 22, Everett started looking at her differently, he struggled with his attraction for her and trying to do the right thing by his best friend. I absolutely loved this book. The characters and storyline felt so real to me. I couldn’t put the book down. I really connected with the character Cameron, because I also lost a parent at a young age. There were a lot of resonating moments for me, especially when she talks about moving on, allowing yourself to live life and be happy. I was inspired by how she kept her faith, stayed posi...

My First Time Doing Art Therapy

  My First Time Doing Art Therapy Anytime Art Therapy was suggested to me, I automatically dismissed the idea of it because I am not artistic at all. I can barely draw stick figures. I tried it for the first time this week, I signed up for a five week inner child workshop using art therapy and my first class was amazing. The class was really relaxing and I felt so good when I left. During the first session we used watercolors to draw a childhood memory. We began the class with “calm, safe place guided meditation”. Lynette turned off the lights, told us to get comfortable and she guided us through the meditation. After meditation, we filled out a paper about a childhood memory, then we were encouraged to use the water colors to paint that memory. When I meditated I visualized myself outside, laying in the sun, at Tappan Lake. I tied my safe place to when I was a child and we use to go there and now how I go there with my family I had a lot of resonating moments during the class. Whe...
