Amazingly well written

The Girl in 6E ebook

The first book that I read of Alessandra Torre's was Blindfolded Innocence and that left me reeling for its sequel,which I am still eagerly waiting for... That is why I liked the authors Facebook page. I am glad that I did because I would not have known about the release of her newest book, The Girl in 6e.

After the 1st chapter review:

The Girl in 6e had me captivated in the first chapter. It will keep you interested and unable to put the book down because it shows you in the first chapter that it is a mystery book and you will not be able to guess what happens in the next chapter.I can not put the book down and I cant wait to find out how it ends. I will share another review then.

Review upon completion:

I just finished reading the book and I am really impressed. It only took me one day to read it and I could not put it down. The first chapter had me hooked. What started out as a book that conveyed mystery and self loathing turned into a story that led to redemption and freedom from fear of what she thought she would always become. I like the way the story was told from the viewpoint of the characters that made the story complete. I strongly suggest purchasing this book and it has become my favorite.

WOW!!!

Obsession Darkness Falls ebook

This is a debut novel. I am completely blown away at the talent this author possesses. It is a very rare occasion that a book will not only stay with me but have me questioning my beliefs. So much of what I want to say in this review would spoil the book for anyone just picking it up but I would very much like to see a discussion opened on the message board about this title.

This is an erotic read and the sex plays a big role in the story line. Its the sub plot that really grabs you- the push and pull between the hero and heroine, the struggle for dominance and the understanding of submission. This is not by any stretch of the imagination your typical kinky romance. I experienced every emotion one could in a single book.

I hesitated on my rating for this book simply because of the subject matter. Again, I don't want to delve into that here because it may spoil the book for some. This truly is a descent into the darkest parts of the human psyche and I was not at all prepared for it. I found myself so deeply rooted in my own personal beliefs that I could not condone certain actions. Having said that, I could not in good conscience give this book anything less than 5 stars. The author has deviated from the erotic norm and crafted a remarkably original story with a flawless delivery. The uniqueness alone warrants 4 stars, but the detailed look into each of the main characters view points and the almost poetic way that she describes their emotions cinched that 5th star. She has me questioning my beliefs, which in my opinion, is a true mark of greatness. I will most certainly be looking for the next installment in this series.

Best Lesbian Romance 2013 Radclyffe

I was introduced to Steve, via my local writing guild. The Limestone Landing of Maysville KY.

Steve's writing is a Sunday drive though Kentucky in a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville. Complete with a mystery, a personal danger to a young woman as she watches her friends being picked off one by one by a deranged madman, who has obvious delight in tormenting her with the knowledge.

Combine this with references to several NE Kentucky areas, I know very well and one particular element that only a true Kentuckian would understand, and you get an enjoyable read. Interesting, light weight, and I want to point out strongly; it's realistic.

I had just finished "We the Underpeople" by Cordwainer Smith. It actually took me nearly a month to read; which is far longer than it should have for a book of it's size. I have to sit and read slowly. Sometimes re-read a page to fully grasp the prose. Much like Tolekin's Silmarillion. Dry, difficult to comprehend, beyond my comprehension. Even with nearly 40 years of living in the science fiction, and fantasy genera.

Steve's book came right after Smith's tome. It was like I spent a month working at a factory; dead tired, needing to decompress, then suddenly given a vacation. The delight in reading it was it's strong basis in reality.

Coming from a background of science fiction, fantasy, yes even the occasional comic. I enjoy detective fiction, and mysteries. Unlike Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, Perry Mason, or Hercule Poirot,

Steve's detectives, police and even the victims are not bigger than life. You don't have an autistic Holmes, or a brilliant Mason. You have a /real/ detective eating do donuts, at the coffee shop, Investigating a /real crime./

The red herrings keep you guessing. I was completely taken by surprise at the end, for I wasn't given any clue on the true antagonist, while given plenty of faux herrings. It also gave a faint idea that there may be a sequel but what that is even I cannot guess.

All in all, I strongly recommend Steve's works judging by this one book. Kindle, or paper version it's worth the read.

(Personally; I recommend the paper versions. No worry about loosing your e-versions, and you don't want Steve to mark up your Kindle with his autograph :)

Israeli Law and Order

The Missing File D Mishani

This book is compelling for its vivid portrait of Israeli life, not in the glamorous cafes of Tel Aviv but in the streets of Holon, a less than glamorous suburb. The main character is interesting, for the author has shunned creating an Israeli superhero and chosen instead to offer us a man disappointed in life, relying on colleagues for insights, and, in the case of this book, guilty for ignoring a mother's plea about her missing 16 year old son. But not is all that it seems, and, slyly, the book undermines the cliches of the detective story even as it follows standard mystery conventions. This series will deservedly do well, so it is worthwhile discovering it at the beginning of its fame. The only flaw was that some of the language is stilted, though it is impossible to determine whether the fault lies with the author or translator.

Slow start but great ending!

The Next Three Days

This is my type of movie. Fast-paced suspense movie with a few twists.

Russell Crowe, who I really enjoyed in this, plays John, a devoted husband and father whose wife is convicted of murder. After losing appeal after appeal, he decides to take matters into his own hands to free her since he fears for her emotional well-being. He meets an ex-con who has written a book about breaking out of jail (Liam Neeson who I absolutely love!). Neeson gives him tips and the movie from here is excellent and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Some of the things John, a community college teacher, does are a bit unbelievable but if you can ignore that, you will enjoy this movie a lot. From learning how to make bump keys to committing criminal offences to get the money that he needs for a family of three to go on the run, you root for him all the way. I have never been a Russell Crowe fan but I found his acting was fantastic; you root for him even though you know he is committing morally reprehensible acts. Brian Dennehy who plays John's father is really good and Elizabeth Banks as John's wife Lara is quite believable.

Well worth watching and re-watching, which I am going to do tonight with my teens since they haven't seen it yet.

Waterproof Camera Watch Video Recorder

I've owned two of these watches now for over 2 years. My own opinion is that the video quality, while not HD, is pretty good.
The pictures are ok also.
The reason I am posting this review is that both watches stopped keeping time. I did many searches looking as to why this happened, surmising that there were two batteries in each watch; one for time, one for video/pictures.
I couldn't find any information about this, so I finally took one of them apart.

It's very easy to do.
A notch on the back cover can be popped off using a small flat head screwdriver.
Once it's off, you'll see the watch is really two items. The camera part of the watch is the first think you'll see, with the rechargeable battery attached by wires to the circuitry.
Once the battery is carefully moved to the side, you'll see 2 small phillips head screws. When they are removed, the camera portion of the watch easily comes out of the case and can be set aside.
Under that, there is the time keeping part of the watch and the battery for it is exposed. This battery is not rechargeable and needs to be replaced when exhausted.
Don't worry about the outside button controls. They do not have to be removed at all, as the camera portion isn't physically attached to them.

The battery number is SR626SW which some battery sites indicate is equivalent to 377 (SR626SW).
These batteries can be purchased here or other sites for as little as $3.99 for a 5 pack. One site I've been to has even had them in 10 packs for the same price.

I hope that this helps anyone that has the watch or is about to purchase one will know what to do when the time keeping mode stops or is inaccurate.

For the price, the watch is quite good.
