Beheld by Alex Flinn



This book was a library book, but now I might have to get it because it ended up being the perfect read for me. I was glad that I chose this book for my car trip ride home because I couldn't put it down. I finished it in a day!

It's perfect for me because it started off back during the Salem Witch Trial era and I have always liked stories that takes place during those times. One of the witches, Kendra meets her beloved James, but they don't have an easy journey at all.

Kendra ends up showing up through different times to look for James after he didn't come after her when he was supposed to and she looked for James in each story line. I loved the time travel aspect of the story.

One of the stories was about a girl meeting a prince and then finding out that she knew somebody who could spin straw into gold...that was one of my favorite stories. The other stories that followed through were cute as well.


You don't have to read the other books in the Kendra Chronicles before reading this one... at least I hope you really don't. Alex Flinn says you didn't have to on Goodreads. I wasn't lost at all when I started this book, and this was the first one in the series that I started. I also don't see why so many people had negative reviews for this book. I thought it was really well written. I'm a sucker for time turning stuff too. I'd recommend this book to anybody.


I think my favorite story was at the end... I thought the end story was a little too modern at first because it kind of took place in our time now, but then Kendra showed up as like a regular person and then I saw the point of that story. And it had the best ending ever that sucked me right in.

Oh, and that cover is just absolutely stunning. I can't believe I almost didn't read this book. I'm glad I did.

Review: The Golden Lily

The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead My rating: 5 of 5 stars When I recieved this book on my Nook, I couldn't put it down!! I had to know what would happen next, and I read it in about three days. I stayed up until 2 a.m. two nights in a row to read it. The whole book kept you guessing. Sydney had to continue her duty for protecting Jill and the rest of the clan was with her. Her and Adrian got closer, and she seemed to have gotten over her fear of vampires being evil more. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but this book was aaaaamaaaaaaaaaaazing! I'm currently rereading the Vampire Academy books through Bloodlines so I can catch every detail again. <3 I recommended all of these books to everybody I know! My trainer at work is on the second book of Vampire Academy, and she loves them as well! Give the books a try! If you don't like Twilight, you will love this, and if you do like Twilight, you will love this! This is way better!...

Review: The Museum of Us

The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd My rating: 2 of 5 stars I received The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It doesn't impact my review in anyway. When I first received The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson I thought it was going to be completely different. The writing style wasn't bad, but the plot ended up not being for me at this time. I ended up not finishing it at 22 percent because I couldn't get more into it, but maybe it'll be my cup of tea another time. (I should really say my cup of Dr. Pepper because I don't drink tea or coffee.) Thank you for giving me the chance to review it! That cover was also pretty. View all my reviews

Review: Withering Rose

Withering Rose by Kaitlyn Davis My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was not my favorite Beauty and the Beast retelling. It isn't as bad as A Court of Thorns and Roses was to me, but it had certain elements that were similar to that book. Cole also reminded me of Tamlin. The first book was definitely better in this series for me. This one was kind of a "rebound book" since I am trying to get back into a relationship with books again. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't surpass my expectations on it from the first one. There's nothing really wrong with Ms. Davis's writing style either, it just wasn't for me. View all my reviews
