REVIEW OF THE BENJAMIN CHRONICLES: RELATIVITY BY MATTHEW DICONTI
I want to welcome Matthew DiConti to Books R Us. Matthew is the author of his debut novel The Benjamin Chronicles: Relativity
published by Create Space. He is touring the Blogosphere with Orangeberry Book Tours. Thanks for stopping by.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Conal Benjamin never let the love of his life Abigail Bradley know of his romantic feelings for her. Years of living with that regret haunted Conals life and left him with an emptiness in his heart. In one serendipitous moment they are reunited at an alumni science exhibit giving Conal a second chance but in a cruel twist of fate Conal's triggers an unexpected chain of events sending Abby and himself through a wormhole to 1888 Whitechapel, London, the time and place of one of the most horrifying serial killers in history, Jack the Ripper. With the time machine lost and Conal and Abby separated, the fate of both of their lives hang in the balance. Nothing is what it appears to be and it’s up to Conal to unravel the mysteries that await him, before it’s too late.
MY THOUGHTS:
I have always been a fan of time travel and Relativity brought us to 1888 where Jack the Ripper lived. I was hooked by the first page and found myself surrounded by a bit of romance, suspense, drama, science fiction and great characters. Matthew has written a fantastic debut novel and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. So if you want a great book to read by the pool or beach than this is the book for you.

My Thoughts.
I have two cats and the dryer sheets reduce static cling and help repel pet hair and lint. I have tried many different dryer sheets and the fragrance was overwhelming. That was not the case with Purex fabric softener dryer sheets. I have used them in my dresser drawers and my gym bag. They both smelled good. My laundry was soft, smelled wonderful and the towels were absorbent. You can purchase them in Walmart and are available in 80 and 120 count.

REVIEW OF SEEING GREEN BY ANNABEL HERTZ (CONTEST-USA ONLY)
I want to welcome Annabel Hertz to Books R Us. Annabel is the author of Seeing Green
and is touring the blogosphere with JKS Communications. Thanks for stopping by.About the Book:
With clever social commentary and her own experience in the political realm, author Annabel Hertz will get readers “Seeing Green” in no time.
Her new book “Seeing Green” (April 15, 2014) steps into the world of cutthroat politics and environmental policy as seen through the eyes of a young multicultural woman whose personal life seems to parallel her professional life as an activist on the front lines of Washington D.C. in the ’90s. Never afraid to articulate her personal convictions, Hertz’s modern day heroine is strong and profound, yet humorous and relatable.
“Seeing Green” is Hertz’s first endeavor in historical fiction, reviewed on The Huffington Post as “timely, energetic and witty.”
Much like the protagonist she introduces in “Seeing Green,” Hertz has delved into the world of politics with organizations involved in international relations and sustainable development. More recently, she served as a policy consultant, adjunct professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations and Global Governance Fellow at the World Economic Forum.
About the Author:
“Seeing Green” is Hertz’s debut novel. She holds master’s degrees from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and San Francisco State University, as well as a bachelor’s degree from the University of California where she studied politics. Hertz is currently pursuing a doctorate in international relations at American University in Washington D.C.
Connect with the Author:
I really enjoyed Annabel's first book. It was very informative, and enlightened me on the inner workings of NGOS in Washington DC. I found the novel humorous,and entertaining. It was well written and was easy to read. I finished the book rather quickly and I connected with the main character Arcani. She had a personality that was strong willed and she maintained her principles even after some hardships. I recommend the to anyone who wants to learn a little bit about politics and how it can affect everything.
CONTEST:

Disclosure: I was given a free copy of the book for my honest review and I was not compensated in any way.

PROMO AND GIVEAWAY OF DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN BY KELLIE WALLACE
Darkness Before Dawn - PROMO Blitz
By Kellie Wallace
Historical Fiction
Date Published: 7/17/2013
adapt to change. Within days, the island is overun. Resistance cells start to emerge, hindering the German forces. Catherine’s life is inevitably changed when childhood friend Thomas Potter is linked as the ringleader to one of the Island’s biggest cells.
The people she once knew are no longer who they seem to be. But nothing could prepare her for when she meets Nazi officer Captain Max Engel. Her view on the war forever changes when she is given a chance for love and new beginnings. For once in her mundane life she unveils her true self, as Max teaches her how to truly live. Their love puts a strain on Catherine’s family, risking the lives her sisters and friends. As the war intensifies and
divides the people on Guernsey, Max and Catherine must decide if their love is really worth risking it all?
divides the people on Guernsey, Max and Catherine must decide if their love is really worth risking it all?
EXCERPT
Plush greenery cushioned Catherine’s as she trudged
through the knee-length grass towards the cliff face. A violent wind came up from the sea whipping at her dress and hair. Brightly colored daisies and narcissi flowers dotted the swaying plain.
through the knee-length grass towards the cliff face. A violent wind came up from the sea whipping at her dress and hair. Brightly colored daisies and narcissi flowers dotted the swaying plain.
A sense of ease and sovereignty came over her as she stood in the wind, moving gently against its brunt. German tankers tarnished the vast ocean in front of her. Seagulls and kestrels sang in the air, catching the passing wind like dancers.
She always loved coming here to revel in nature’s beauty, believing nothing will ever change it. With the occupation taking force, it seems inevitable the world she knew will never be the same again.
Visiting the cliff tops on her own was risk, but as headstrong as she might be, Catherine wanted a release, to see a part of Guernsey not yet touched by the Reich. She slunk past German patrols on her way, blending into the environment like a chameleon.
As she stared out into blue azure of the ocean, movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention. A young man teetered on the edge of the cliff, peering over the brink.
Without a second thought, she ran towards him, slowing her pace when he saw her approach. His eyes wide with fear.“I’ll do it,” he warned, his body stiff as though he was still deciding to jump. The wind grew stronger and the man appeared to be using all of his strength to stay upright.</ div>
“Are you alright, sir?” she asked calmly.</ div>
His hair was blown high on top of his head and the wind already made its mark upon his skin. “No . . .”
“Did you lose something?” Catherine said carefully.
“Has someone fallen off the cliff?”
“Has someone fallen off the cliff?”
“I don’t want . . . I don’t want this,” he cried.</ span>
“Don’t want what?”
The man stole a quick glance towards the tankers dotting the ocean horizon and turned back to Catherine. “I don’t want them,” he yelled, pointing towards the sea. “I don’t want to be ruled by those murderers!”
Catherine now understood the catalyst to the man’s distress. No one on Guernsey wanted an occupation by the Germans. Half the population had fled in terror.
Catherine took another step closer, wary of the fear in his brown eyes as she did so. She reached out her hand until they were inches apart. “What’s your name?”
“Ben.”
“Ben, what about you with come with me and grab a nice piece of cake at the cake shop? How does that sound?”
The young man shook his head furiously. “No, they will be there! They have taken over everything!”
“No, they won’t be,” Catherine said slowly. “It will only be you and me.”
Ben looked behind him to the crashing waves below, his body limp in defeat. He let out a sigh and turned towards her. “Okay,I will come with you.” He reached for her hand, when another voice broke through the defiant wind.
"What’s going on here?”
Catherine glanced over her should to see a young German officer standing behind them, bracing against the wind.
Ben’s eyes widened at the sight and he started to back up towards the edge of the cliff. “No, no, no,” he mumbled, slipping on the lip of the cliff.
Heart pounding, Catherine stretched out her hand to the distressed youth. “Ben! Please, come with me,” she ordered, ignoring the figure behind her.
Ben shook his head, his hands outstretched as though seeking redemption from above. “I’m sorry. I cannot do it,” he said. “Not with him around.” Ben’s swollen eyes glanced at</ span>Catherine once more, before turning into the wind, and jumping off the cliff.
“Nooo!” Her body flashed hot then cold as she fell to her knees in the damp grass, her hand stretched outright, grasping nothing but thin air. She felt the officer brush past her as he poked his head over the cliff.
The man’s body lay crucified on the rocks, blood speckling the blue ocean water.
Catherine ignored the tugging on her arm as the German officer hauled her to her feet. Violently, she pushed him away.
“Get off me!” she screamed, regaining her footing.
He was close now, close enough she could see the lines of youth etched in his face.
He was close now, close enough she could see the lines of youth etched in his face.
“What is your name?” he asked calmly.</ div>
“Catherine La Mar.” She almost spat her name at him.
“Catherine La Mar.” She almost spat her name at him.
The officer dipped his head in a polite greeting as if what happened meant nothing to him. “May I see your papers?” he asked, bringing out his hand.
Catherine sucked in a breath of indignation and pulled her papers, which consisted of an identity card and birth certificate from a pocket in her dress. She watched him as he scanned them over. It was the first time she managed to have a good look at him.
It was his eyes that caught her breath, standing out in contrast to his dull uniform. They were the same shade of the sea, crashing and spitting below them. His straw-coloured hair was slicked under his visor cap. He was the perfect example of Hitler’s Aryan race.
The officer handed her papers back to her. She wanted a fight; wanted anything to contest him. “Why didn’t you stop him?” she asked.

REVIEW OF THE TERMINALS (THE SPARK) BY MICHAEL F. STEWART.(CONTEST)
I want to welcome Michael Stewart to Books R Us. Michael is the author of The
Terminals (Spark) as well as several other interesting works of art that includes graphic stories, novels, software and non fiction titles. Please visit Michael's Amazon page to learn more about his other works. Thanks for stopping by.
About the Book:
Sometimes the dead don’t want to talk.About the Author:
You need Terminals to make them.
Terminals solve crimes in this realm by investigating them in the next.
Lt. Col. Christine Kurzow, fresh from a failed suicide attempt after she cost 11 of her soldiers their lives, is recruited into the covert unit of Terminals as a handler. It's an easy sell. If she's really determined to die, it’s a chance to give her death meaning.
But her first case—convincing a monk to chase Hillar the Killer into the afterlife to find the location of a missing bus and the children it carried—has her wondering how to make a dead psychopath talk.
Christine must follow the clues sent back by the shotgun-toting monk, who tracks Hillar through the seven deeps of hell, so she can find eleven kids before it’s too late.
Maybe this time killing a man will give Christine a reason to live.
Michael F. Stewart is the author of the Assured Destruction series, which sprawls across 3 books, 2 websites, 1 blog, 7 Twitter accounts, tumblr, Facebook, and 6 graphic origin stories. He likes to combine storytelling with technology and pioneered interactive storytelling with Scholastic Canada, Australia and New Zealand’s, anti-cyberbullying program Bully For You. He has authored four graphic novels with Oxford University Press Canada’s award winning Boldprint series. Publications of nonfiction titles on Corruption and Children’s Rights published by Rubicon Publishing as well as early readers with Pearson are all forthcoming in 2014 and 2015.
For adults, Michael has written THE SAND DRAGON a horror about a revenant prehistoric vampire set in the tar sands, HURAKAN a Mayan themed thriller which pits the Maya against the MS-13 with a New York family stuck in the middle, 24 BONES an urban fantasy which draws from Egyptian myth, and THE TERMINALS—a covert government unit which solves crimes in this realm by investigating them in the next. This series has already been optioned for film and television.
Herder of four daughters, Michael lives to write in Ottawa where he runs free writing workshops for teens and adults. Please come find me on Goodreads.
My Thoughts.
I have always been a fan of the ghosts and the supernatural. I found the book to be intense, well written, and horrifying. I was hooked from the first page and finished the book rather quickly but it was emotionally draining when I was finished. If you are squeamish and dislike horror movies then this is not the book for you. All of the scenes were extremely graphic and takes you to hell and back but the author is able to bring you back to reality with his excellent writing skills. I have never read a book like this one and I wonder what he has in store for us in book two of the series. Bravo Michael for writing such a twisted and original novel! So if you think you can handle it then pick up a copy for yourself or enter Michael's contest.

REVIEW OF THE HUNGRY FAMILY SLOW COOKER COOKBOOK BY CHRISTINA DYMOCK
I want to welcome Christina Dymock to Books R Us. Christine is the author of The Hungry Family Slow Cooker Cookbook
as well as numerous other cook books. Thanks for stopping by.
About the Book:
It is every busy mother's dream-come-true: dinner that makes itself! With
the help of your trusty slow cooker and these healthy, easy recipes
like Peppery Cilantro Salmon, Sausage Stew, and Dark Chocolate Mini
Cakes, you can put dinner on the table even on the craziest of days. Don
t let the whirlwind of life
stop you from feeding your family the food they deserve -- delicious, home-cooked meals straight from your slow cooker.
About the Author:
Christina Dymock was once at a dinner party where her husband was
teasing her about the frosting-to-cupcake ratio on her dessert. The
woman sitting across from them sniffed her delicate nose and said, "If
my husband gave me a hard time about my frosting I'd quit baking. That'd
show him." To which Christina's husband replied while pointing at his
speechless wife, "Try to stop her!"
Christina divides her time between the kitchen and her computer and books and her family of six. (Naturally, the family gets the biggest share.) Because she reads everything, she also feels compelled to write in several genres.

My Thoughts:
I love cooking with my slow cooker and I am always looking for new recipes to try. Christina's book was easy to read and loaded with fantastic pictures and tips. I never knew you could put in frozen chicken or beef in a slow cooker. I always defrosted the meat ahead of time. I made the Turkey Joes before I left for work and unfortunately I was not able to get a picture of the finished meal because my family devoured it before I got home from work ( I worked later than usual). They left me a portion to try. We all loved the Turkey Joes and they asked me to try another recipe from the book. The Turkey Joes were seasoned and were cooked just right. We needed some extra napkins that night. So if you are looking to save some time and money then get a copy of the book.

- Garcinia Cambogia Extract has been known to hasten weight loss efforts, where some researchers claim that it can double or triple one's weight loss. With proper dieting and exercise, the average person taking garcinia cambogia extract lost an average of four pounds a month. It is also known to work great for emotional eaters. Those who participated in the study showed an increase in their serotonin levels; hence, it may also improve mood and sleeping patters. It works by blocking fat and suppressing appetite.
- Green Tea Extract contains compounds called catechins that may affect how your body burns calories and metabolizes fat, thereby helping in weight loss.
- Guggul Extract helps boost metabolism and is believed to reduce cholesterol.
- Raspberry Ketone is an aromatic component present in raspberries and other fruits. Scientists had previously shown that it causes fat breakdown. It prevents and improves obesity and fatty liver by stimulating the metabolism.

I have always loved Dial products and the New Premium Deep Cleaning Hand Soap not only worked well they both smell fantastic.
These Premium soaps feature vibrant scents, a gentle micro-scrubber that smooths and moisturizes the skin. Thanks to Dial I had the opportunity to try two of the great scents.
Water Blossoms
The graceful water lily is the inspiration for this elegantly scented, premium soap. With delicate micro scrubbers, it cleanses hands gently yet effectively, leaving them moisturized and fragrantly fresh.
Coconut Lime Verbena
This premium soap captures the fragrant essence of freshness, with an exhilarating blend of lime, coconut and verbena. With gentle micro scrubbers, it cleans and moisturizes deeply, for hands that feel sparkling clean.

My Thoughts:
I was impressed by the product. It suds up easily and the exfoliation crystals did not irritate my skin. The scent is not overpowering and a little goes a long way. My hands felt soft and smooth after using the products a couple of times. I thought that the Water Blossom fragrance would smell more like flowers but it had a more fruity smell to it. I preferred it over the Coconut Lime Verbena hand soap because it was less overpowering.
