Favorite Lines: “I wondered if he realized the power of his stare. If he had any idea the effect it had on me. Perhaps that should have been another warning—the fact that I couldn’t tear my gaze from him. It was as if he had some sort of hold over me, but I couldn’t put the blame on him. I was solely responsible for my actions.” (p. 94) Amanda Stevens sure knows how to write an intriguing and creepy story and she showcases her talent in The Restorer. The Restorer is book one in Stevens’ Queen of the Cemetery trilogy. There is a prequel, The Abandoned, available for download at Harlequin’s website. As I write this the prequel is free, but that could change at any moment. It’s listed at $2.99. But back to The Restorer. The entire time I read this book I felt like there should be eerie piano music playing. You know the type that plays as the suspense builds during a movie. Instead of the music playing for a few seconds before exploding into action, it built and built until I almost couldn’t stand it. I wanted the other shoe to drop so that I could pick myself up. It was GREAT! Any book that is capable of building tension without introducing gore is alright by me. The Restorer left me feeling uncertain and jumpy. It’s a strong paranormal suspense with a touch of “will they be drawn into a love affair?” The would-be romance aspect adds depth to the spooky story which is told in first person point-of-view from Amelia’s perspective. The slow pacing helps create a chilling tone to the book which some readers may find off-putting. I feel like it adds to the story making it believable. Conclusion: I would recommend this book to people who don’t care if the story has a happily ever after/clear, every problem solved ending.. It’s an urban fantasy that focuses on the fantastic. It is not the action packed UF that has been flooding the market over the past several years, but it is filled with good stuff. Don’t read it if you are looking to race through a story, but if you want a look into the uncanny check this story out. I’m not sure how long the contest is open, but Stevens is hosting a giveaway at her blog for signed copies of The Restorer. There’s also an excerpt posted on the author’s site if you want to read a little before you buy the book. Scooper Speaks

A lot of people have praised this book, but I couldn't get into it. I finished it in the hopes that I would see what all the hype was about, but alas, I did not.
This is an amazing and powerful book. It quite clearly presents an abundance of scientific research that shows how what our children eat has such a dramatic effect on the rest of their lives. He is quite persuasive in explaining how eating exceptionally healthy is the foundation for good health! As a parent, I feel the need to be very proactive in the health of my children. This book has the potential to help you change any bad patterns in your children's diet and replace them with wonderful, healthy habits! Dr, Fuhrman has shared with us amazing knowledge to help us make correct decisions about the health of our children and ourselves. You will never view food the same way after reading this book. It empowered me to continue my efforts for a healthy lifestyle and to never give up, even with the pickiest eaters. I especially enjoyed his advice on instilling good eating habits in our children...like to never use food as rewards, teaching by example, and letting children eat when they are hungry instead of forcing them to eat at a certain time. As parents, we need to create the right environment in our home. We need to be responsible for the selection of food and for preparing the food our children eat. Our children need to be responsible for deciding how much and when to eat! I love the ideas for many healthy snacks he gives, but still need to try his recipes for meals. Some do seem rather daunting. But overall an amazing book on health and food.

I felt that this book was just ok. The characters felt like variations of one another and the religious folks are of course bad. I have no problem with said portrayal but the fact that the only religious characters he focuses on are the demented ones and the one good priest conveniently moves out of the way to make way for another bad priest seemingly to pad the narrative to a proper novel length which it technically isn't to my standards coming in at 261 pages. That being said as the novel came to its conclusion I was suddenly struck that I actually cared what happened unlike most of the novel were I was not emotionally connected to the narrative. Overall it wasn't a bad read but not as good as the hype I had heard about his writing based on his previous book Knockemstiff.

I read this for book club and thought it was good...kind of depressing...and pretty graphic at some points, but good.

One of the Best books I have ever read! It forces you to really question your morals and to never take your free access to knowledge for granted, Ignorance might be bliss, but we are all better off knowing the truth so we do not repeat past mistakes and are able to further technology and our way of life. :)

Like an episode of Tales from the Crypt crossed with Samuel Beckett where the most exciting thing that happens is when an elderly man falls on the floor and wets himself. Sure, said senior is reading a book within the book in which more interesting things are happening, but who wants to read about someone reading something? Oh, and watch out for that part where he puts his hands on his knees and looks at the floor!

much better than the first volume in this fantastic series, and that is saying quite a bit, it has a great deal of complex and ambiguous social and political commentary, such as would be uncommon in a book for adults, but downright extraordinary in a children's book. excellent writing, design, and great fun while giving you something to think about.
