The Emperor's Arrow By Lauren D.M.Smith
Love having only one job during he summer I get to read a book a day. Yesterday's book was The Emperor's Arrow . Written by Lauren D.M.Smith the winner of Harlequin's So you think you can write 2015. Yeah she can write. I loved the cover , was so happy it was not The Bachelor type story . There was competition so the Ruler Galen could choose himself a bride .Some female (cat fighting) nothing physical . Plots yes to overthrow the Ruler Galen so of course you get a little bit of everything.
It was a pleasure to read . Yes gave it 5 crows . Off to search for another see what I can get in before work. Don't forget to read often even if its just a few lines.

At first I thought this book is going to be boring . Was I surprised? Yes . To find out how I was hurrying to get things done so I could
find out what would happen next . At times the Twins made me laugh. I can't wait to find out if the story continues it is really good.

The Department of Magic by Rod Kier Kegaard Jr
Farah and Rocky are competing for a job that they don't quite know what the job is yet . Their boss Crawly tells them it surveying he takes
them to lunch then is killed. Farah and Roc decided to work together to find out what happened to Crawly.While doing this they stumble upon
things they can't believe are true one of them being Crawly lives. Crawly introduces them to many things ,he teaches them how to survive
against evil creatures that want to take over the world. Crawly wants to bring George Washington back to life. He believes with the right
magic and alignment of the moon and stars and buildings and such it will work and George will save America. Rocky fathers a baby with Bobbi
,Farahs best friend who gets turned into a vampire by the man who wants to rule the world. They have to take care of the half vampire /human
baby which is very hard. Roc and Farah fall in love as they manage to take care of the baby. They go on dangerous capers and get attacked
but seem to survive Now do they save the world? Maybe
I thought this story was very well organized in time. Meaning extremely creative,linking vampires and the destruction of America back to
George Washington. Of course there has always been magic but not that anyone has ever believed it or actually admitted it I really enjoyed
the story. All the lining up of the stars confused me when they brought George back to life but I understand why. For me that;s all that
matters. I'm hoping there is another book I didn't want it to end the way it did not knowing. Would love to know how Tink grows up. All the
creatures out there we don't notice are hard to believe but I might walk a little faster past people with a shopping cart on 5th st.
