Her kids eat more greens than she does

My Take on the Book:
Once I got into this book, it was very intriguing. From the start, it was Emily that stood out to me the most; the others slowly started developing a little way in. The cliffhanger was a clever one, and I definitely can't wait to find out what happens in the next one. I ended up giving this book a four star rating and got a copy in exchange for an honest review. 

Last Word:
It's the first time that I've read a book by this author - and I'm so glad that I did. I'm definitely likely to enjoy future books by her.

Enjoy,
Carmen.

Review - The Goblin Necromancer by Aubrey Law

My Copy of the Book Year Published: 2019 Genre: Paranormal Blurb: Gmok Witchmauler wants to be a mage. But goblins are too stupid to be sorcerers. Or are they? "For f*ck's sake," groaned the old goblin. "Am I really going to die like this?" Gmok was hopelessly trapped inside the smothering darkness of his own Goblin Silver safe. The airtight lock-box was a miniature tomb made of the nearly indestructible and rare magical metal. Black Annis, that beautiful little treacherous witch, had spellbound Gmok and commanded him to climb inside the safe. She'd also robbed him of his entire life savings then she’d left him alone to suffocate and rot. A fortune in exotic and enchanted jewelry had been so easily taken from the goblin and he’d never even put up a fight. How could he? His weak and foolish mind had been manipulated by her powerful sorcery. If only he were a mage himself then maybe he could've resisted the witch's spell. This is a

My Copy of the Book Year Published: 2007 Genre: Non Fiction Blurb: American girls today are forced to navigate a minefield more challenging, difficult, and pressure-filled than ever before when it comes to one vital topic: sex. Over the last decade, a new female imperative - that sexiness trumps intelligence and character at even the highest levels of influence and power - has emerged, undermining girls' sense of worth in their formative years and glorifying behaviour that is destructive to their future health, happiness and self-respect.  About the Author: Carol Platt Liebau is an attorney, political analyst and commentator based near New York. She has provided analysis and commentary on national television for PBS, CNN, the Fox News Channel, and MSNBC, and has appeared locally on the Orange County News Channel and Cox Cable.
