How do words affect you?
Do you her a song and connect to it and then listen to it over and over again?
I love inspirational songs and quotes. I love when they build me up or when they make me think outside of my own box.
I was watching a Hallmark show and this song came on. I immediately fell in love with it!
The song reminds me of one of my characters.

Do you have a song or songs that remind you of a character or story?

SHOOTING STAR

Did you see that shining
Passing by at the speed of sound
Better no blink or you'll miss out
Oh oh
Beautiful and amazing
Like a thunder and lightening strike
You'll never know till she knocks you down
But you feel it coming

There she goes like a shooting star
She got fireworks in her heart
Lighting up this world with a little smile
She's on the rise and
Oh there she goes and she won't slow down
You know nothings gonna stop her now
Flying higher, burning brighter
Keep on shining like a shooting star

There you go supernova
Glowing brighter and closer
Never know where it's gonna land
Ohh
Dancing over the rooftop
Moving like a butterfly
You can try catch her in your hand
See if you can

There she goes like a shooting star
She got fireworks in her heart
Lighting up this world with a little smile
She's on the rise and
Oh there she goes and she won't slow down
You know nothings gonna stop her now
Flying higher, burning brighter
Keep on shining like a shooting star

Oh flying higher burning brighter
Tearing straight across the sky
Oh you can make a wish upon her
Try it as she's passing by

There she goes like a shooting star
She got fireworks in her heart
Lighting up this world with a little smile
She's on the rise and
Oh there she goes and she won't slow down
You know nothings gonna stop her now
Flying higher, burning brighter
Keep on shining like a shooting star

SMOKE & SUMMONS by Charlie N. Holmberg REVIEW

I'm so excited you all are here! Charlie is one of my favorite authors. Her books are fantastic!

My review:

Opening line:
"Sandis had several reasons for staying."

Ms. Holmberg is making a niche for herself in the publishing world. She has this storytelling abyss in her brain and there are so many stories she has yet to write. I think she will be writing these unusual, mind-blowing stories until she's 108 years old.

Sandis is alone in the world, but she is well-fed, has a bed to sleep and clothes. Never mind that an evil man created her into a demon vessel that he can control. She's safe, right? But one day, Sandis sees a name that makes her realize she is not alone in the world and she decides to ran away.
Rone takes thieving jobs to keep his mom safe. He has a few secrets, and one is that he has found a rare relic that makes him immortal for a minute. Before too long, his actions send his mom to hell, AKA prison.
Soon, the two are thrown together, running from police, grifters and the evil men. They each have to learn how to use their inner strength to help each other and themselves.
I kinda wanted to throat-punch a couple of people in this book. I wanted to learn more about the magic in this world, too.
I will read the next book.

Thanks to netgalley and the Fantastic Flying Book Club for the early read.

Synopsis:

A captivating world of monsters and magic from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician Series.

As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life. At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon—a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally.

A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day—a unique advantage that will come in handy in Sandis’s fight for freedom. But Sandis’s master knows how powerful she is. He’s determined to get her back, and he has the manpower to find her, wherever she runs.

Now, to outwit her pursuers, Sandis must put all her trust in Rone and his immortal device. For her master has summoned more than mere men to hunt her down…
