My Review

Mixter Twizzle is a naughty little demon. He lives under the hen coup and comes out to steal their eggs. But then something happens to change the little red guy and a new story begins.

I just loved Mixter Twizzle. He’s a little cutie but he can be very pesky. It took something magical to change his ways and I really liked how that worked out.

Fun for little ones but I enjoyed it too. The story is not too long or too short. Just right. And the illustrations are very colorful and fun.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes. That little red imp charmed me. Would I recommend it. Very much so. A lesson about friendship and a fun adventure.

About Mixter Twizzle’s Breakfast:

Mixter Twizzle is an odd, red, round-shaped, mischievous creature. He lives in a hovel, beneath a rustic barn, underneath the chicken coop at Riverdale Farm. He’s a snoozing sneezer and a snoring barker—a peculiar sort that both annoys and pleases. At first, Mixter Twizzle is thrilled by his egg-gorging fests, delighting in his own wickedness, but he soon realizes he is lonely. He longs for companionship, but the hens will have nothing to do with him. Can this fiendish creature learn to make friends at the farm?

Do you enjoy reading about hauntings? I sure do. Have a huge stack of books to share in October.

I was thrilled to receive this ARC of The Siren And The Specter by Jonathan Janz provided by Flame Tree Press. A beautiful book with thick pages and a spectacular cover.

My Review

I can’t resist a haunted house tale and this had all of the ingredients required to keep me glued to the story. There was the curiosity. The kind that killed the cat. There was  the atmosphere heavy with dread. And multiple cases of mysterious activities.

And I love a skeptic. David Caine is the perfect example. He refuses to believe what is happening right before his eyes. Reminds me of the movie, Room 1408. The main character, played by John Cusack, cannot allow himself to believe something is really happening and suffers for it. Big time.

The author fleshes out his characters, starts the build up of suspense through some serious hair raising atmosphere, and then lets the spook out. And he provides more than one haunting. What’s in the house is big and bad. What haunts the grounds is just as deadly. Some serious twists and ulterior motives going on too. Never a dull moment with this one.

Did I enjoy this book. Oh, yeah! Would I recommend it? Very much!

Synopsis

When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different. Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow. And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launching in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.
