A short and sweet book, but I would have been happy to read more! These are very human Gods: Thor seems rather challenged in the brain department, and Loki is the annoying child at the party (or anywhere!).
This is the complete opposite to the Marvel movies (neither a good or bad thing), and I feel it's more faithful to the original myths (go figure!). Thoroughly recommended!

Totally cute story. My kids enjoyed it. The said that it was cool that the bird wasnt scared to fail and they liked that she kept trying and working at it. They really enjoyed it and I liked that it was short enough and moved enough that it kept the attention of all 5 kids lok. I am very glad I got to review this one

I loved it..it almost made me cry. I loved the dynamics the angel feels and how he gives up everything for her.i love her story and how hard it Is to move on..I love no they end up together and how it ends. If you like a sweet short story this is just the thing for you. This is one amazing author.

hello, I'm a writer and I love to read!I'm slowly incorporating the library in my neighborhood into the library in my house.. My most recent beta read was for Dancing Feet, a short story by tabitha ormiston-smith. It was a lovely read, with a modern and determined retelling of Cinderella, but without all the silly princess nonsense. check it out on amazon today

The collection of the first three Chocoholic mysteries plus the short story that was set and released before the series started. If you haven't started the series, this might be the place to start. The stories are light but fun and the characters are great.

Okay, I am going to keep this short and sweet. I was not a fan of this book. Probably because in If I Stay, I didn't like Adam, and here he is as the main character. I thought he was whiny and manipulative and was just generally unlikable. I was not a fan of the ending at all. That's all I have to say about it.

The second book in the Lost Journals novellas definitely leaves the reader breathless and craving more. In "The Contract", Rebecca's new relationship turns into something she is unsure of if she can continue or not, or if it is going to be a deal breaker for her. Although the novellas are short, it definitely increases the suspense and sex appeal of her new "Master".

A nice short read that I enjoyed but you have to read the others to know who all the characters are and what the've been through. This is the first i've read from this author and it won't be the last as I intend to catch up on the series. Plenty of action and suspense and also alittle heat. Also love the cover.

I have really conflicted feelings over this book. I think, yes, it was good, but it could have been a lot better as well. This is short, because, honestly, I don't know what to think. There were funny and sad moments, but none so wonderfully well written enough for me to fall in love with the book like I do with so many others.

This book had some holes in the plot but not enough to sink it. The characters made up for what was lacking and since this is a character driven story it worked. Brooke did a good job describing anxiety issues and that made Giselle seem more authentic. This gets four stars from me because despite the short fallings it was still a pleasure to read.
