Book Review by Lola, the Bookplug Pug

My first #bookreview is for Crystal Deception, by Doug J. Cooper.

I love new ideas for a story, and this is a great one.  An action packed book that assigns an inanimate object meant for evil, yet because of the interaction with good humans, becomes an entity all its own, which works with them!  In fact, it becomes friends with its humans, but only a limited few does it trust. 

Jessica Tallette believes the creation will be good for humanity, the aliens who have been hovering Earth for years have an entirely different agenda known by a few humans, but not others - including Jessica. When the subterfuge is discovered, a team if humans sets out with the Crystal which is constantly learning only to discover the nefarious truth why they use humans to make the crystals. Other crystals are designed, but none become what THE Crystal is.  

Old friends, and new ones are reassembled to defeat the aliens, and the outcome is not only dangerous, but deadly.  Jessica is thrown into the fight as well despite the fact she has never been in any fight, simply because she is the one who has been with the crystal from its inception. 

Some of them will be lost while others will be saved.  You find yourself rooting for them, and saddened at their losses, because you are not expecting the characters you believe will be lost.  In the end, the Crystal's deception will be a temporary fix, but its growth far exceeds its intended purpose, and when it becomes sentient with a mind of its own, it sacrifices itself surprising Jessica, and all of its friends.  By this time, you will have fallen in love with the Crystal, and believe it is as much a character as either humans or aliens!  You will cheer for it, and you will be sad for it as well.  It's more human than inanimate.

A fast paced story that doesn't end, but continues on to Crystal Conquest, book 2 in the series!  I can't wait to read it!

Lola, the #Bookplug #Pug

Introducing - Me!

I want to introduce myself.  I'm "Lola, the Bookplug Pug", and I'm here to offer some cool suggestions about which books you absolutely need to read!  I'm also PR Agent to LK Kelley, author of the White Wolf Prophecy Trilogy.  Since LK introduced me on her @lkkelley1 Twitter account, I've had all kinds of positive feedback!  I want to thank all of you who liked my Tweets on her account, and this caused me to do my own blogs!

The White Wolf Prophecy Trilogy

I'll plug LK Kelley's book series later, but I urge you to give them a try before I do!  Werewolves, Vampires, Elves, a famous, Mythological god and his buddy, along with an alien villain keep this book series moving in an effort to find the villain, before the supernatural races are destroyed, and darkness prevails. It is adult in its content, written for older women and men from 18 and up, with great backstories of each of the main characters you will love to love, and love to hate!  A surprising thing happened to LK, when  only women, 18 and older - even to 65 and older, but MEN took up the book, and loved it!  LK Kelley takes the stereotypes of these paranormal creatures to a whole new level!  It's an awesome book series, as attested to by real readers of the books. You can find all about The White Wolf Prophecy Trilogy simply by clicking on the link under my mug above!  Maybe I should call myself Lola, the Bookplug Pug with a Mug?  Naaaaaah!  

Now.  Ready for my first book plug?  

NOTE:  I don't like to give anything away about books, so I'll give you some ideas about what they     are about.  If you want to read my suggestions, buy the book I'm plugging this week!

The Devil's Graveyards by TL Parker

I loved it! I'm very familiar with most everything TL has written, but it's the first time I read a story that wove it all together! The characters are loveable, some hateable, but I loved how she showed the truth about greed and betrayal in the book. Combine all of that in a story about time and the grid of energy surrounding the Earth at equal distances - positive and negative with time travel, and you have a group of people that are like family. And, then, combine that with the amazing possibility of going from mortal to immortal, you have an amazing story that keeps you enthralled until the end. And I loved how she actually ended the book! It's not often I feel satisfied with an ending, but this one does! Great going, TL!
TL's book is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon with a glass of wine (white of course ;) ) or a cappuccino - my favorite! If you love time travel, mythology that comes true, and an amazing ride, then you will need to read, TL's The Devil's Graveyards!

Next week, I'll be plugging Sala Dieb's "The Novel World of Angela Crown".  Just WAIT for it!  

And, PLEASE! I'd love to hear your feedback, too!  Let me know if you like my very own Blog that LK Kelley decided I could write!
