Book Review: Greg Kincaid’s A Dog Named Christmas
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.A Dog Named Christmasin Hardcover edition on November 4, 2008 and has 148 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the McCray Family series about dogs; it’s a cute, warm Christmas story for animal lovers. (It was a 2009 Hallmark Hall of Fame hit movie.) My Take Oh, this was just so sweet. This was a great family with wonderful values. And tremendous patience. Some of the sentences were a bit amateurish, but the overall effect was very uplifting. Do pay attention to the prologue as the story is all about Jake/Christmas; I don’t feel that Kincaid brought this connection together very well. I didn’t catch on until I went back to look over my notes to write this review. My one annoyance with this story is Kincaid’s reason for dad not wanting Todd to get the dog. It’s been forty frickin’ years!! And no dog can live as long as a human. There was a huge chunk spent on relating a McCray family tradition that went back to George’s grandfather and […]

Book Review: Devin Morgan’s Aris Returns
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Aris Returnsin eBook edition on October 25, 2012 and has 335 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the Infinity Diaries Trilogy urban fantasy series. The couple focus is on Sarah Hagan and Carlos/Aris. This could have been a “4” and I really wanted to at least give it a “3” for Morgan’s terrific imagination. But her execution and the overwhelming errors in this don’t merit more than a “2”. If this had been an ARC that hadn’t been published, I wouldn’t have been as scathing with the errors I found. As it is, publish and perish. My Take On the whole, I like this story. It’s an intriguing twist using past-life regression and incorporating Carlos’ horrible childhood, his short life of crime, and Aris’ history. Anything with history involved pretty much grabs my attention, and I enjoyed this journey into the Tudor court. Although, Morgan needs to brush up on her history. She has Anne married to Henry and queen, and then follows this up by saying Katherine is still queen […]
