Question of the week: Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it? 

My answer: I always liked YA chillers. I like other genres too. I do not know what draws me to them. The plot? The author? It is a mystery to me.

Last week, I was surprised when I received an email from an employee of BuildASign.com. She asked if I could give an honest product review on my blog in exchange for free products of my choice. My first thought was “Why do I need a sign?”

In addition, I used the design tool to make some cool bumper stickers for my blog. I will be doing a giveaway soon, so watch out for it.

Meanwhile, Tessa Woods has spent years in the clutches of the Master. She is now an adult and tries to protect the other children who have also been kidnapped. She prays that someone will save her. Her prayers are answered when Riley goes undercover as Buzz Smith, one of the kidnappers from the previous book. Tessa believes that Riley is here to save her and the children.

I was excited when I saw there was a new Colby book out. I enjoyed reading Colby Bass last week. Colby Core goes by fast, as it continues the plotline of human trafficking network. There is a lot of action and suspense. I did not care much for the main hero, Riley. He was just there doing his job, I never got a real feel for his character. Tess is the best character out of this installment. Despite all the horrors that she has encountered in her life, she has faith that she will be saved. If you are looking for a great romantic suspense, then check this book out.

Labeled centers around a troubled teenager named Vinnie. He lives in New York with his Aunt Constance. He is a loner who is barely getting by in school, in which there is talk about putting him into a “special” school. To make things worse, Vinnie does not know how to talk or have a relationship with girls his own age. His only friends are two potheads, Brian and Pierce.

Question of the week: What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?

My answer: I read Grave Doubts by John Peel when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. It is one of my favorite books. It inspired me to start writing my own scary stories.

Rudy starts playing with the light switches to Grandpa’s miniature Christmas village. Rudy and Amanda are zapped into the village. There, they go by different name and have new parents. The villagers are upset that the library has gone missing. One day it was just lifted up into the air.

The kids find away to return to their Grandparents house. Over the next few days, they keep returning to the little village.

The Christmas Village is a cute story for kids. The two main characters, Rudy and Amanda, act just like normal children at Christmas. They have their minds on one thing: Gifts! While reading the book, I kept thinking of the Chillogy episodes from the Goosebumps television series. They both involve kids going into a miniature town. The only difference is that the Christmas Village is meant to charm you, not scare you. Yes, there is a message of giving just like any other Christmas story. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and I recommend this to every one of all ages.

*I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy to review.
