So today instead of doing a review for one book I am going to do a list of books that I have finished with a short little synopsis of each and how I felt about each.
Crane: Modern day Headless Horse man in which it is the descendant of Ichabod Crane who has come to haunt the town of Sleepy Hollow. This is the first book in a series. I loved this book. It is an easy read and one that will keep you reading. I did not want to put the book down.
Fractured Legacy: Sisters Kaylyn and Nicole love abandoned places with dark creatures. This fascination led them to work as paranormal investigators. They get a chance to investigate an long-abandoned hotel, the Teague Hotel. But it is a task that will not come easy and what they find will boggle their minds. Kaylyn is dealing with a distorted reality that has her questioning her every move. A dark entity in the hotel has taken an interest in Kaylyn. She must face her fears and convince her sister and co-workers that she has not lost her mind. This was book has a slow start, but kept my interest during the end. However it was not one of my favorites.
The Bone Season: Clairvoyance, future, underworld, syndicate... All of these words describe this book... Paige Mahoney is a gifted clairvoyant more specifically a dreamwalker... a rare breed. This book takes place in the year 2059. Being a clairvoyant in this time is considered to be treasonous. A series of unfortunate events leads Paige to her kidnapping and is sent off to a secret prison. Here she is put under the supervision of her keeper. Paige longs for her freedom and is willing to do anything to gain to back. But she finds that this is not an easy task and must learn to trust. I loved this book. I found it hard to follow in the beginning, there are a lot of made up words, but the author has included an index in the back of the book for reference. After getting past all of the confusion, which did take some time, I could not put this book down. This is a science fiction book that kept me on the edge of my seat. I pre ordered the second book and now it is sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to read it.
Sweet Designs: In this 15 chapter book Amy Atlas includes different dessert table ideas for every occasion. She includes baking ideas, styling ideas, crafting ideas, and ideas for the time crunched people. All of her ideas are beautiful and the treats... OMG so many of them. She is a sweet lover, of course since her book title is Sweet Designs and she is the sweets designer, just like me. This book is for the creative or design lover. I recently got my degree in Event Management, so I picked up this book to give me inspiration when needed. I really enjoyed reading through this book. It is not one I had to rush through. Amy's writing is so light-hearted it's like a friend giving you tips on how to make a party beautiful.
*all book images were taken off of Google, however I do own all of these books.

I love to read, if you haven't noticed.
Books take me away to another world.
Currently I am reading As Always Julia and Zombie Fairy Tales... which is quite interesting.
I will try to keep up with my book reviews.
I'd love to hear if you've read any of these and your thoughts on them.
I'd also love to hear about any good books you've read recently... I can add them to my never ending pile of unread books.
