Smashwords book reviews by Amy Siggelow

  • Dirty Little Angels on Feb. 16, 2011

    I won this book as an ARC from Library Thing. I really enjoyed this book. I was "warned" by the author that it is pretty dark, and it surely was, but it was so very good! It was a book that I didn't want to put down. This story is about a 16 year old girl, her 19 year old brother and their parents. The mother had just had a miscarriage and has holed herself up in her room and isn't paying attention to either one of her kids, while the father, recently unemployed, drinks too much and is down at the local pool hall most of every day. This is a story set in New Orleans, a place I've never been. There are many references to different areas and/or street names. The 16 year old girl, Hailey, is in turmoil throughout the book, for many reasons that are explained while reading. A great story of family dynamics, mistrust and the importance of being supportive of family. I very much recommend this book for anyone to read, as it has all the elements of a great storyline....adventure, mystery, betrayal, religion, love, etc. Great book Mr. Tusa!
  • Encounters in Paris - A Collection of Short Stories on March 12, 2011

    I have never read a collection of short stories incorporated into a book before, so this was a new experience for me. I found this book very interesting, I was able to really connect with the characters in a very short time and I loved the fact that it presented issues such as infidelity and betrayal and things that are present in today's society. I am looking forward to reading more of Ms. Moncel's works and I will be recommending this story to friends.
  • Guardian of Eden on May 18, 2011

    I won this book from the Member Giveaways on Library Thing. I was compelled to enter to win this book from it's description on Library Thing. I was not sorry that I had entered and I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to read this book. I read it in one day - that is how good it was! This is a story of Garrett, born of a white mother and an African-American father. He is the older brother of his half-sister, Eden; they have the same mother but different fathers. Garrett and Eden's mother is unfortunately an alcoholic and drug abuser who seems to be neglectful of her children, causing Garrett to become the "parent" of Eden. He is a very gentle, sweet, and very intelligent young man, who loves his sister more than anything in the world, however, he has a dark side from the years of neglect he has received by his parents. The novel starts out with an event that takes place involving Eden being rushed to the hospital. It then goes into the story of how things went about resulting in that outcome. This is a very well written, interesting and realistic book, one that I very much enjoyed. I would recommend this to most anyone, although it does involve a little violence and does touch upon incest from past encounters of the mother. Very good book!
  • Divine Intervention on July 21, 2011

    I won this book from the Member Giveaways on Library Thing. I really enjoyed this book. It is about the Canadian FBI special team of psychic-type agents trying to solve a serial arsonist case. The team consists of Jasmine (Jasi) McClellan, Ben Roberts, and Natassia Prushenko. The three of them work for a man named Matthew Divine, who founded and is in charge of their specialized unit. They join forces with the Chief Arson investigator, Brandon, and begin trying to solve the case. This was a very good book that I recommend to those who like a bit of psychic subject material. To those who don't, this probably isn't the book for you. It was a fascinating read and made me wonder if quite possibly, there are actual units in the government who do this sort of thing. The author made the reading very believable and interesting. Nice book!
