Review Source: Author

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

My life was meticulously planned and I refused to deviate from that path. While my peers were partying, I prepared for the future. Then a tragic event destroyed everything and I learned that while I was looking ahead, I forgot to live in the moment.

Starting over seemed impossible until I met Cara McCarthy, who lived every day like it was her last. She opened my eyes to a world of chaos and disorder. I loved every minute of it. She was also dating Tristan Adams, one of the most gorgeous men I’d ever seen.

The three of us became inseparable. Our parents were oblivious and soon lines became blurred, feelings began to grow, and someone’s heart was going to get broken. I hoped it wasn’t mine.

Full-length stand alone novel

When I came across the cover to The Good Girls, I knew I had to check it out. I was in the mood to read something outside of the box somewhat and The Good Girls was just the right book for that. I don't think I really ever read a true F/F book before. I've read books that just have moments or scenes that it's F/F but not a whole book dedicated to a F/F romance. Mummert really did a great job with The Good Girls, because at no point in time does it read like something straight out of a porn, it was very well written with class and taste. The love story is simply beautiful. 

In The Good Girls, you meet Ellie at first. Poor Ellie tragically lost her mother and has now been uprooted to go live with her father that she hardly knows and his wife. Also living in the father's house is Cara. Cara is not Ellie's father daughter, she was just given room and board so she could stay away from her mother which she didn't get along with. Ellie and Cara slowly become friends and privately they both want more. Cara though has a boyfriend and this puts a halt on everything Ellie feels. But Cara just happens to be there at the right times when Ellie needs that shoulder to cry or lean on to get through her mother's passing. The wall Ellie put up so her feelings don't come out, is slowly breaking away and she doesn't know if Cara is ready for that. Cara also doesn't know how much longer before she breaks too but she can't let the past repeats itself and she doesn't want to ruin Ellie's life she is trying to build again after her mother's passing. 

As their relations as friends begins to cross over into something else, Cara hits a wall with Ellie's father and she has to move back with her mom. Ellie's dad doesn't want her ways to rub off on Ellie, he doesn't know he is a little too late for that. But Cara obliges and leaves without even a good bye. Time passes and hearts have broken and voids left empty, but what happen when Ellie and Cara meet again? And did I mention Cara's boyfriend didn't take to kindly to Cara's reason to depart. You'll have to read The Good Girls to find out everything that takes place in this story. 

I'm so glad Teresa Mummert is now on my radar, because I enjoyed reading this story. I recommend The Good Girls to anyone that loves a passionate love story tastefully written that deals with many obstacles but they fight their way through it all. I do ask that you be at least 18 years or older. The Good Girls contains sexual content not suited for minors. Happy Reading!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Available April 13, 2015

Everything nineteen-year-old Karina Mitchell knows about death changes the instant that she and her best friend, Rainey, are shot. For one, souls don’t die. They cross over. Only, Rainey’s soul hasn’t, and her ghost is hell bent on haunting Karina.

When Karina begins her sophomore year of college and moves into the apartment that she was supposed to share with Rainey, she learns a few shocking truths from her mysterious and gorgeous blue-eyed neighbor, Eli.

One: Karina has been chosen to become a Beckoner—an immortal conduit of the dead who helps safely guide souls to the other side.

Two: She’s the reason that Rainey’s soul can’t cross over—Rainey followed her back from death and missed her window to be at peace.

Three: Eli is hot. As in swoon-worthy, to-die-for, will-make-you-forget-yourself hot. And it turns out, Eli is a Beckoner, too.

Despite her attraction to Eli, the decision to become a Beckoner isn’t an easy one—it would mean giving up her own mortality … her own soul. But if she doesn’t, her best friend will be left to suffer an eternity at the hands of the evil Ceptors, dark creatures that feed on the souls left behind. After all, it’s her fault Rainey is haunting her.

Time is running out, and Karina needs to decide: Are love and loyalty worth sacrificing her soul?

BECKON ME is a dark but sweet NA paranormal romance for both NA and upper YA readers, ages 16 and up.

{Spanish} Book Review: Pie de Bruja by Carolina Andújar

Pie de Bruja
Escritora: Carolina Andújar
Nivel de Lectura: Narrativa Juvenil
Género: Ficcion Literaria
Fecha de Publicación: 1 de Abril 2014
Editorial: Montena | Random House Mondadori

"Hay niñas que son esencialmente buenas. Otras son esencialmente malas. Y otras... bueno, otras son esencialmente brujas. No puedes cambiar quien eres".

La magia, la superstición y la intriga se entrelazan en esta historia en la que el mal se oculta tras el manto de la luz y el amor verdadero surge de la oscuridad. No podrás escapar del hechizo de Pie de Bruja.

Hoy quiero recomendarles este libro que a mi parecer es uno de los mejores que he leído!

Carolina Andújar es una escritora colombiana que en sus libros nos lleva en viaje fantástico lleno de seres sobrenaturales pero siempre con un toque oscuro y romántico.

En esta su tercera novela, nos fascina con historias de brujas, hechizos y maldiciones. Es la historia de Ava y Slaven, una historia que te captura al instante! No quiero contar mucho de la historia, pues saben que no soy amante de los spoilers, pero si les puedo decir que lo bueno de las historias que Carolina nos presenta, es que nos pone a pensar mucho, y además de aprender muchas cosas, ya que Caro siempre nos presenta hechos históricos en sus historias. Esta historia en particular me puso a considerar muchas cosas, por ejemplo que no todo lo que te dicen que es malo en realidad lo sea, ni que todo lo bueno es correcto, creo que siempre hay que conocer los dos lados de la historia y tal vez te sorprendas de lo que descubras!

Para leer las historias de Carolina, pienso yo, hay que ser muy open mind, pues están llenas de leyendas de vampiros, fantasmas, brujas e incluso el diablo! Eso si, ella no pretende cambiar creencias ni nada por el estilo, solo presenta hechos históricos y te muestra un panorama para que disfrutes de una gran historia!

Sus otras novelas son Vampyr y Vajda, son historias increíbles! Se los aseguro!!
