About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Angel Eyes Review and Giveaway



Angel Eyes, by Shannon Dittemore, is the new Christian young adult novel that has all the elements people loved in the Twilight series.  Brielle is the main character struggling with a tragedy beyond her control and Jake is the new, mysterious boy at school that is intrigued by her.  She's not sure why...  I was captivated within the first few lines!  Shannon Dittemore has created likeable characters and a powerful story, as well as perfectly placed humor.  Angels and demons battle for control and humans are used as pawns in this frightening game.  Angel Eyes is the first in a trilogy and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.  Once you start reading Angel Eyes you won't be able to put it down!


About the book:

Angel Eyes
| Shannon Dittemore

Once you've seen, you can't unsee. Everything changes when you've looked at the world through . . .Angel Eyes

Brielle went to the city to chase her dreams and found tragedy instead. She's come home to shabby little Stratus, Oregon, to live with her grief and her guilt . . . and the incredible, numbing cold she can't seem to shake.

Jake's the new guy at school. The boy next door with burning hands and an unbelievable gift that targets him for corruption.

Something more than fate has brought them together. An evil bigger than both of them lurks in the shadows nearby, hiding in plain sight. Two angels stand guard, unsure what's going to happen. And a beauty brighter than Jake or Brielle has ever seen is calling them to join the battle in a realm where all human choices start.

A realm that only angels and demons-and Brielle-can perceive.
