It’s a harsh world for Tracie. She reacts and behaves just like any teenager who thinks they know everything while the rest of the adult world around her is stupid. Then the horrible truth dawns. It is almost too late to discover she doesn’t know everything. Stakes are high. I’m glad she ran, and the ending. Well, no spoilers. Great story. Highly recommended.
I love to read stories with strong characters who develop and grow into their final destination. My passion is also to write novels that deliver believable, loveable, heroes along with villains who shine and who readers love to hate. When reviews say they can’t wait to read the next book, it is the best feeling ever.
Run Girl Run is a fast-paced young adult novel that delivers. Anyone reading this, and who has not experienced in some small part Tracie and Jason’s family life, should be grateful. I believe this novel should be shared and debated in schools. It should be on the shelf in the libraries.
Teachers should be alerted to read, and direct youngsters to read. Teachers undoubtedly know these things exist but are often, and through no fault of their own, too overwhelmed, or too busy to identify these issues. Those who do, and manage to support, I applaud. The only thing I would like to see at the back of the book is a list of options – how to get support. It would be immeasurably helpful.

I truly loved this storyline. Rosetta Diane Hoessli has penned a wonderful, powerful tale of the Indigenous people of America. I love history and learning.
Ms. Hoessli has managed to encapsulate not only the beauty, mystery, and legends of these wonderful nations, but the awful, shameful truths of their treatment. Whispers Through Time takes on its own unique stance with a romance, blending the impossible to possible. It is poignant, heart-warming, and brutally honest. A highly recommended read.

Sometimes I need a book that gives me a kick-off my shoes moment, then smile, and smile, and smile some more.
Author Terry Newman has certainly captured the very essence of a rom com but with a difference. I really like the premise of this book with the characters literally falling off the page and into the real world. Author Newman seamlessly pulls the two worlds together blending it into a beautiful, heartwarming romance that makes you smile from start to finish. So kick of your shoes, find a comfy chair and be prepared for a good read.
JJ Spritely, romance author, writes characters that jump off the page. Figuratively, that is. She never expects them to make a literal leap smack dab into her world. But Alex Zurich and Blake Teesdale do just that. And they're on a mission to help JJ write her own personal love story with a man she recently met, Kennedy King Cooper. A history professor, Cooper doesn't see the value of romance novels and he has even less regard for those who write them. Until he meets a woman who haunts his thoughts. There's only one small snag in Alex's and Blake's…
