Hold Me Closer...#3

Hey there Chickies...
So this isn't exactly one of the deepest books, I had trouble coming up with questions because to me it really was just a fun read, and very original. So I'd just like to know,
1. What did you guys think overall? Did you enjoy it? hate it?  etc

Hold Me Closer Necromancer Discussion #2

Hey there Chickies!!
1. Did anyone find themselves relating to the story, if so in what way?

2. I just have to mention this, didn't you just love the chapter titles??

Hold me Closer Necromancer..Discussion #1

OOOOOH I'm late, late, late SORRY!! Hope if you've read it that you really enjoyed Hold Me Closer Necromancer!! Here are the first couple discussion questions, I can't wait to hear what you thought!!

Question #1 - When Sam was born, his mother and uncle "bound" him in order to hide and protect him from the evils of the world.  In your opinion, is it ever alright to keep someone from reaching their fullest potential, even if it will keep them out of danger?  Defend your answer.

Question #2 - The narrator switches between first and third person throughout the story.  Why is this significant?  How does the change in narration affect the story?  Explain.

Get READY FOR JUNE!!!

I hope I'm doing this right I haven't posted on a blog in almost a year and apparently Blogger has completely re-invented itself!! As you have probably learned I tend to pick the books less traveled, but bear with me. This is a fairly quick read, and I bet you haven't read anything like it before!!

From Amazon:  Sam leads a pretty normal life. He may not have the most exciting job in the world, but he’s doing all right—until a fast food prank brings him to the attention of Douglas, a creepy guy with an intense violent streak.

Turns out Douglas is a necromancer who raises the dead for cash and sees potential in Sam. Then Sam discovers he’s a necromancer too, but with strangely latent powers. And his worst nightmare wants to join forces . . . or else.  

With only a week to figure things out, Sam needs all the help he can get. Luckily he lives in Seattle, which has nearly as many paranormal types as it does coffee places. But even with newfound friends, will Sam be able to save his skin?

This is a YA book, so you won't be getting any erotica...sorry, down girls...LOL

but there is a romance and a little of that, so you won't be totally disappointed!!

NIGHT ROAD Final Discussion

1.  Lexi pays an very high price for her actions that night.
Did she do the right thing by admitting guilt?
How does her past play into and contribute to the decisions she makes about Grace?

2.  Jude says at one point that she is seeking “justice” from the court.
Is she?
Did she find it?

3.  Assign blame for what happened on that tragic night.
How much of what happened is Lexi’s fault? Zach’s? Jude’s? Mia’s?

4.  In the end of the novel, Jude learns that “in the sea of grief, there were islands of grace, moments in time when one could remember what was left rather than all that had been lost.”
What does she mean by this?
How does it summarize the lessons she and Lexi learned?
How will this new understanding change all their lives?
Do you believe it?
Do you think a person can ever truly overcome a tragedy of this magnitude, and if so, how?
