Review- Prince Of Punk Rock
Although not my regular taste in reading and not really to my liking. This book was well written and had a great storyline that I think everyone should check out! I know many people because think because you don't like a storyline you rate it anyhow you want. We here at StoneAngel Reviews look for more in a book than that and we give credit where it is due and rate this book with 4 angels. We encourage the author to keep up her great work and encourage you the reader to grab her book and tell us what you think.

Redemption- Blog tour
REDEMPTION (Forgiven Series
Book #2)
Synopsis:
I am not what I have done. I am what I have
overcome. And once I have faced my problems, only then will I find redemption.
Josh Walker and Lauren Pierce are opposites in every way. While Lauren is a committed student and girlfriend, Josh is a player with a very twisted moral compass…
Or is he?
Growing up with an addict for a father, Josh experienced disappointment from an early age. He puts on a front, shielding himself from everyone. Until he meets Lauren.
Lauren has it all. An accomplished softball player she maintains good grades, has great friends, and is in love with her dedicated boyfriend. Her life is pretty much perfect…until it’s not.
When two bruised souls collide can they help each other overcome their problems? Or are some souls just destined to be lost?

REVIEW)
EXCERPT:
This time it was
Angie's turn to laugh. She turned to me her eyes alight with mischief.
"So, Josh, how was your night?"
Damn. I knew at
some point she was going to bring it up. Not knowing how much Lauren had told
her, I figured deflection was the way to go. I smiled, hoping that it didn't
look fake. "It was an awesome party. Did you have fun?" I asked.
Unfortunately,
Angie knew me way too well. "I had a fantastic time, but stop trying to
change the subject. I saw you dancing with Lauren," she said with a smirk.
She was never
going to give up. I needed to play this off. Angie didn't need any more
encouragement in her quest to find me someone. "Yeah, she's pretty
cool," I offered, shrugging my shoulders. "She hit the bar with us
after the party."
I saw Caleb
watching me out of the corner of my eye. He knew something was up—he always
could see right through me. He knew there was more to the story and he was just
waiting for a better time to ask.
Angie, on the
other hand, looked disappointed. Huh? After all of the threats from Emily, she
looked like she was hoping for more. Then again, I doubt Angie had been rooting
for me to have a one-night stand with Lauren.
"Josh,"
she whined. "We have to find you someone."
I sighed.
"I'm happy with my life."
She turned her
nose up at me. Guess that was the wrong thing to say. "Oh, so you're happy
sleeping with a new girl every weekend?" she argued.
"You make
it sound like a bad thing?"
I watched the
anger flash in her eyes. Oops, definitely the wrong thing to say. She stood up
and stepped towards me, forcing me to look up at her. "You're an ass. With
an attitude like that, you deserve to be alone," she snarled before
storming off to their room and slamming the door.
"Angie,"
I yelled. Getting up, I walked down and knocked on the door. Even though we
disagreed, I still cared about her and didn't want her to think I was a
complete jerk. "Angie, I'm sorry. Please come back out."
The lack of
response spoke volumes. Turning back to the living room, I went and sat back
down on the couch. I looked up to see Caleb glaring at me.
"Did you
need to be such an asshole?"
"Dude, I
wasn't trying to be a dick. I just don't get why she’s so determined to set me
up."
Caleb shook his
head at me. "Is it really so bad? Angie just wants to see you happy."
"I don't
need a girl in my life to make me happy. Why is that so hard for you two to
understand?" I asked, exasperated.
Caleb leaned
forward to rest his forearms on his thighs and clasped his hands together. He
took a deep breath before beginning. "Josh, I've known you for three years
and I know for a fact you're not happy, and lately it's been getting
worse."
\
He stopped to
look down and when he looked back up again I could see the annoyance in his
eyes. "Since you haven't seen your dad lately, that's not the reason. And
it's total bullshit that you're happy screwing a different girl every
night."
That sweeping
assumption was like gas to a flame. Who was Caleb to determine what made me
happy?
"What gives
you the right to tell me what I want? I'm not you, Caleb. If there was someone
I really wanted, I’d go after them, not run away. There just isn't one that
fits that category." I turned to head back to my bedroom when Caleb's
voice stopped me.
"I know
something happened between you and Lauren last night."
A thousand
different explanations raced through my mind but before I could say anything he
put his hand up to stop me. "Don't even try to deny it. It’s written all
over your face. I'm not sure exactly what happened, nor do I want to know, but
if you're gonna keep sleeping with anything that breathes, please stay away
from Angie's friends." Avoiding my gaze he looked down to the floor,
rubbing the back of his neck in a way that made me think I wouldn’t like what
he was going to say. "I wouldn't want to have to choose between you and
her," he said sadly.
FORGIVEN (Forgiven Series
Book #1)
Synopsis:
What happens when one moment changes the course
of your entire life? Do you sit back and accept it, or fight to live the life
you choose? Caleb Jacobs has a past that has haunted him for two years. Knowing
he can never forgive himself for the events that led to his departure, Caleb
chooses to live a quiet life—concentrating on school, sports, and shots. But
when he is paired with Angie for a history project he realizes that no matter
how much you try to hide from your past, one way or another it will find you.
Angelina Powers knows what she wants from life. Growing up with only an alcoholic father for company, Angie learned early on in life that you can only count on yourself. But that doesn’t stop her wishing for her white knight. She’s confident, happy and focused…until she meets Caleb. So how will she feel when her potential white knight turns out to be more of a black shadow?

Review of Flight of Destiny
Ok first of I have really enjoyed this book. This story set in the modern times of Native Americans, Medicine men and spirits was well written and you was able to follow the story all the way through. When Elf Dove came into her medicine she didn't know love was also right around the corner. As destiny has a strange way of intertwining in our lives she became stranded with one of her passengers. Love know no bound and Elf Dove definitely shows us that in this story. I give this book 5 angels :)Friday, 24 January 2014

The curse of the Red Eyed Witch was a great short story for kids about I would say 8-10. Siefken weave a very vivded story that can bring the story to life. There is a great message within this story also. Tell me if you can find it :) I know I did. In all I give this story four angels.

Modogamous Review
OMG I fell in love with this book! The Author had you from the first page all the way to the very last. It was written in first person so you had a great feel to the story like you were the character herself. At certain points you actually felt the frustration of the characters. I do look forward to more of her work and I give her five angels for this!

A Review of A Construct of Angels
This was definitely a page-turner. From the very beginning I was taken on a journey of confusion with some mystery our main character Sara a/k/a Jinx. Sara isn't the only one who starts out confused. When a mysterious stranger was brought back to life who cries golden tears sets our heroine on a journey she never thought her life would take.
This story was definitely invigorating for me. As the paranormal storyline is starting to become one of my favorite things to read I give this story 5 angels and encourage the author to continue his work!
