The Connection

Description Connection by Dana Claire


Beatrice Walker thought she lived in a normal world—that is until she learned she’s a living hostel for an alien energy source, and apparently the answer to preventing extinction.

Bea has no memory of her last moments with her mother. The week they’d gone missing is a complete mystery. Suddenly moved back to her hometown with her father, Bea has rekindled her friendship with her two best friends—and seems to have caught the attention of an arrogant, yet gorgeous boy named Cash Kingston. But there’s more to Cash than his annoying attitude and good looks. Cash isn’t human, and he’s now in charge of protecting Bea from those who know what she keeps safe inside her: the energy source that once belonged to his murdered girlfriend.

Tensions mount as Bea learns her energy source must be paired with the one Cash holds to protect both their planets from an imminent threat. But what Bea doesn’t realize is there’s more to her than being human a host, that her feelings for Cash are not just a prophetic plan that will save their planets, and that the fate of everything lies in her choices.

Review Connection by Dana Claire


Guest Review by Mark S.

The course of true love never did run smooth, did it? Especially not when you throw in teenage hormones, heartbreak and oh, yeah, alien biology into the mix. ‘The Connection: Two Worlds, One Connection’ by Dana Claire is just the type of YA that makes reading fun and exciting again.

The main character, Beatrice Walker starts out the book with a fairly normal life, despite the fact that her mother was recently killed in a suspicious accident. Now, Beatrice lives with her father and attends the local high school where she gets a very unwelcome surprise in the form of a group of new students moving to town.

The group, headed up by a boy named Cash, are all devastatingly gorgeous but also strange and standoffish. Beatrice isn’t sure what to think of them at first, and she is very unsure what to think when she arrives home to find Cash speaking to her father at her house.

Suddenly, Beatrice finds herself embroiled in an intergalactic battle that she didn’t even realize existed as well as connected to Cash in a way that she couldn’t have dreamed. Still unsure whether or not she even likes Cash, Beatrice finds that she must cooperate with him to save her own life and the lives of beings on a planet that she has never seen.

This was a thrilling read and one that I couldn’t put down from start to finish! Dana Claire has told a fresh, exciting story here that still has all of the classical elements of traditional storytelling and plotting. ‘The Connection’ checked every box for me, story wise and I loved the romance between the two main characters.

I absolutely can’t wait to read the second installment in the series and find out what happens to these characters next! I give it 5 stars.

I received the ebook for my honest opinion.

Guest Review for Feast by David Vorhees


Guest Review by Sol A.

The first anthology of its kind, ‘The Feast: And Other Horrifying Tales,’ is a fresh take on horror that is bound to keep readers up well after bedtime. Every story in this collection is set at, and revolves around a different holiday. New Years Eve, Valentine’s Day, Easter, The Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all included and none are left unsullied. In all of the horror anthologies that I’ve read, I’ve never come across one that had such an interesting hook or one that took such innocent holidays and made them so spooky!

This series has everything from ghosts and ghouls to cannibals and madmen, and every tale is unique and scary in its own way. The stories range in content, from the Easter story about a preacher who has been carrying on an extra-marital affair with one of his congregants and begins finding pieces of a body hidden in Easter eggs all around town, to a poem about the ghost of a former slave hunter who returns every Halloween to terrorize the people of the town that executed him.
Thanksgiving’s story was the titular, ‘The Feast’ and revolved around a young couple and their four year-old son who embark on a trip to see family for the holiday. While driving on a sparse country road, they get into an accident and go off the road into a tree. Both parents are knocked unconscious and by the time they wake up, their son has gone missing. Soon, they discover that he has been found wandering in the woods by a rural-dwelling family with whom they share a tense and suspicious meal.

This astoundingly creative collection is one that is definitely worth checking out if you appreciate horror. It’s perfect for a fall read and is sure to give you chills! Vorhees is a modern day Edgar Allan Poe! Five Stars!

Artt of the Black Card

Description Artt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana


“The Artt of the Black Card” is a fresh, concise, irreverent instruction manual on how to succeed as an entrepreneur based on the author’s own original insights and his risk-taking record as a businessman and innovator. This is not a cookie-cutter business book filled with tired advice and worn-out clichés. “The Artt of the Black Card” is a contrarian guidebook for a new generation of business owners and leaders — anyone with the smarts, guts and passion for making money. You don’t need an MBA to get rich, and “The Artt of the Black Card” proves it.

Employing nine vital work/life lessons using the exclusive and legendary American Express Black Card, aka the Centurion Card as a framework, author and serial entrepreneur Anthony Ryan Sadana explains how to make money while the world around you is going to hell  and emerge stronger than ever. It’s the perfect antidote to today’s extraordinary challenges.

Review Artt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana

Guest Review by Mark S.

“In the pages that follow, you’ll learn nine vital work/life principles, backed by my stories as an entrepreneur.”

An incredibly valuable resource for young professionals and aspiring entrepreneur’s alike! Anthony Sadana has an incredibly varied resume. He has consulted for major companies and runs his own real estate investment organization, so it’s no wonder that he has the knowledge that he does about the business world.

This book is unlike any other financial self-help book that I have read because it comes from the perspective of a young, 21st century business man who operates much of his business online. There are nine main sections in the book, each of which Sadana focuses around a single topic of advice. Some of these topics are things like, ‘Be on the lookout,’ which discusses having the proper amount of self-motivation and how to see opportunity where others do not and ‘Change Happens’ which talks about keeping yourself open to adjusting your business idea.

One of my favorite chapters was the one that talked about how to correctly employ ‘being an asshole’ when you are a manager. Sadana says that being an asshole basically means standing up for yourself and leveraging the best possible deal, which is different from just being a jerk who has no self awareness. Standing up for your idea and not letting yourself get taken advantage of by potential partners or even customers is so vital to starting a business, I was pleased to see that Sadana included it.

This book is well written and witty, both of which keep it interesting as you read along. I think it is one of my favorite books of this kind that I have read and I would love to read more from this author in the future. 5 out of 5 stars!


About Anthony Ryan SadanaArtt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana
