My Review of: Unmemorable (Unmemorable Series) by A.P. Jensen
I was given the audio version of this book for a honest review by the Author.
I really enjoyed this story, kept me involved with it to see where it would end up going next. Raven is and unmemorable, meaning people meet her turn away and totally forget they ever saw her. In order to remember her you would have to have something of her in one case a lock of her hair braided and tied around your wrist or another was to drink her blood.
Raven's mother forgot her when she was 1 day old and she spent her life being ignored in foster care( because no one remembered her). Raven did not know why she was always ignore, she knew nothing about Unmemorables until one day it was all explained to her when she met Cain Henson who explains it all to her.
It is a very interesting story follow Raven as she learns of her ability and how it works as well as meeting her Father, who I thinks she wishes she could forget.
My review: Hexed by Heather Graham
Have I metioned I Love Heather Graham? I have never read one of her books I didnt enjoy and My favorite is the Krewe of Hunters series. I love how she keeps you up to date on the members of the Krewe until they all become like old friends.
Hexed is the 13th book of the Krewe of Hunters series. You get to meet Craig Rockwell AKA Rocky the newest member of the team. As a teenager Rocky finds the body of his friend Melissa who has been murdered. The book takes place 13 later where he meets Devin Lyle a children's book author. The murders have started up again, and this time he wants to make sure someone pays for his friends death.
My review of: CAT by Julie Dewey
I for the most part really liked this book. Didn't care a lot for all the references to being over weight and a little unrealistically at that. But the story was very entertaining. Cat can get herself into some fixes. In the end it was what I would call a feel good story, the girl gets it all.
Cat is an overweight phone sex operator who ends up with her sister's 4 kids being dumped on her. At which point she invites Dale one of her first clients, who she has ore of a friendship relationship with then phone sex, to come stay with her and help out. Cat meets with another of her clients who makes her feel good and ends up pregnant. Dale and her end up falling in love, and All 7 live happily ever after in the midst of some chaos, some action/adventure, a wild birth of the baby, the shows the voice and the biggest looser. You have to read the book to figure out what all this means :)

Review: Bobbi Jean's 2pc Tong Set with Silicone Tips & Stainless Steel
I used them for dinner tonight, they clamp nicely on the food, both the larger ones and the smaller set. I love the locks on them no more chasing the clips down, just pull the top up and they are locked, great for storing them. The bonus spoon is great also. They all 3 seem very sturdy, and are dishwasher safe. I am so glad I was able to get these at a huge discount in exchange for this review but would of paid full price for them also. I can see getting a set and using them as a great gift for any of your cooking friends or family.

Book Information
Title: Secrets in the Sky

Release Date: February 26, 2015
Genres: Chick Lit, Women’s Contemporary Fiction
Publisher: Pauline Wiles
Summary
How far should you go to keep a secret?
No-one ever accused Sophie Campbell of being a coward. From caving trips to rooftop pranks, it appeared nothing could hold her back, especially once she landed a dream job promising travel all over the world.
But Sophie’s jet-setting lifestyle is not what it seems and she’s been spending more time in the quiet English village of Saffron Sweeting than she cares to admit. When her beloved Great Aunt Wol dies suddenly, Sophie loses one of the few people who truly know her. As friends, family and an old flame gather for the funeral, questions soon follow. Worse, Sophie finds herself increasingly attracted to the man most likely to expose her secrets. Can she manage to guard her past, yet finally follow her long-held dream?
Featuring both new and familiar characters, this stand-alone romantic comedy is set two years before Saving Saffron Sweeting. With side helpings of British tea, cake and wit, Secrets in the Sky explores how finding the courage to be yourself can be the toughest challenge of all.
Excerpt
Bella looks incredulous, but before she can respond, there’s a brisk knock at the front door.
Bugger, I think, who the hell’s that? Surely not someone trying to sell us solar panels in this weather? Bella’s busy concocting our dinner, so I gather myself and head for the door.
When I open it, I find a tall woman with wavy auburn hair standing with her back to me. She’s wearing a chic navy suit with a peplum jacket, which shows off curves like Jessica Rabbit.
Then she whirls around on one heel and proclaims, ‘At last! You’re the one sleeping in my husband’s bed!’
With that, she steps forward, and thrusts out a hand. Instinctively, I take a step back, but then notice her wide, mischievous smile.
‘I’m so pleased to meet you,’ she says. ‘I’m Amelia.’
I shake her hand cautiously. Her grip is enthusiastic and she’s wearing a huge cocktail ring which winks at me, despite the gloom outside.
‘I’m sorry,’ I say, apologising immediately for something I haven’t done. ‘But I’m not sleeping with your husband.’
But I’m really thinking: Joey – the scumbag – is he married and hasn’t told me?
‘No, darling, not with my husband. Just in his bed, right? And I should have said ex-husband.’
‘Umm…’ I’m still not getting it.
‘You’re house sitting, correct? For Michael Hargraves? You’re wearing his dressing gown, you know.’
Now I get it. Bella’s Uncle Mike. And this is his dressing gown? Ugh. I hope it’s been washed.
‘Well, I’m Amelia Hargraves. I own the estate agency in the village.’
‘Oh,’ I say. The penny drops. I’ve seen her occasionally in the post office and the baker’s, always dressed beautifully and talking in that deep, posh way. ‘Sorry. Yes. Would you like to come in?’
Amelia strides past me happily, not needing, of course, to be shown the way to the living room. I shuffle after her, making sure the belt of Mike’s dressing gown is tied securely.
Amelia’s standing in the middle of the room, head swivelling as she assesses her former home. Even though I am entirely blameless in the sleeping-with-the-husband department, I still feel awkward.
‘Where the bloody hell did that come from?’
She’s looking, of course, at Stanley, who opens both eyes, lifts one clawed foot off his perch and echoes ‘Bloody hell!’ at the top of his voice, adding ‘Feed me!’ for good measure.
‘He’s temporary,’ I say. Great. Now she’s taught Wol’s parrot how to swear. Some guardian I make.
