Book Review - Murder at Castle Rock - Anne Marie Stoddard

17404263

Title:  Murder at Castle Rock


Review:  Amelia Grace is the manager and booking agent for Atlanta’s famous Castle Rock concert venue. Amelia books the comeback tour for eighties rock star Bobby Glitter but before the first bow of the night the owner of Castle Rock tumbles to his death. The police suspect foul play and all signs point to two employees at Castle Rock. Amelia finds herself racing against time to clear her friends name and uncover the killer before she ends up being the next victim.

Anne Marie Stoddard debut novel, Murder at Castle Rock, is your typical murder mystery format with a heroine who joins the ranks of the accidental detective when someone she cares for is accused of murder.

Anne Marie Stoddard shows both sides of the music world with the groupies, drugs but she also shows the other side of hard working people who work long hours, eat pizza for lunch and live perfectly normal lives. Well, all expect that crazy murders that never seem to end.

Anne Marie Stoddard created a heroine who is devoid of almost all the typical murder mystery cliché. Grace loves music, she is a normal person with no super skills expect people liking her and at some point you could almost see her as a real person.  She does try to solve the mystery but with all murder mysteries she does it to protect someone she cares for.

Anne Marie Stoddard has written a great murder mystery from beginning to end and keeps you guessing to the end of the novel who the true murder is and why.  She uses quite a bit of pop culture in her book but since she is working in the music industry that is to be expected and creates some really funny moments.
I am excited to see where Anne Marie Stoddard will take Amelia on her next accidental mystery.

Thanks Heidi for this review

Why I Read this Title:  Sent for an honest review

Synopsis:   As the manager and booking agent for Atlanta’s famous Castle Rock concert venue, Amelia “Ame” Grace is ready for the most exciting week of her career: she’s booked three shows and a live DVD-filming for the comeback tour of none other than the eighties Pop Rock Prince himself, Bobby Glitter! Before the rock star can take a bow on the first night, however, trouble steals the show as Castle Rock’s owner takes a deadly tumble from atop the venue’s rear tower. To make matters worse, the police suspect foul play—and all signs point to two of Castle Rock’s own employees. Ame is in a race against time to clear the names of her friends and uncover the truth before the killer decides it’s curtains for her too!

Product Review - Bellafab Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review



Manufacturer: BellaFab Skin Care

Review:  I like this serum I think it is doing great things to my skin - the smell is a bit strange but not terrible - It makes my skin feel amazing in the morning and the lines around my forehead seem to be getting a bit less deep - also my hands look good - I cover my face in the serum and then I use the extra on my hands - I am 45 and my hands are looking older than my face - but they look really good this last week or so - I really think this stuff is helping -

This item soaks in quickly and covers well with a moisturizing cream and makeup.  I love the way it smells - happy uplifting peppermint type of fragrance that I love.

Description:
Indications
Start off by using no more than a few drops each time in case your skin reacts negatively. After the first week, you may steadily increase the amount you use per application. Serum can be used during the day, night and under makeup. For better results, apply an organic /natural based moisturizer immediately after using the serum. To super charge your skincare routine, use our Matrixyl 3000 serum together with the Hyaluronic acid serum.

Ingredients
Deionized Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, (Aloe)AloeBarbadensis Juice, Phenoxyethanol, Witch Hazel Extract, Acrylates/C 10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, MSM, Potassium Sorbate, (Vitamin E)Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hydroxide, (Vitamin C)TetrahexyldecylAscorbate, Lavender Oil, L-Arginine, (Vitamin A)RetinylPalmitate, (Vitamin D) Cholecalciferol.

Directions
STEP 1. Cleanse skin thoroughly. ★ STEP 2. Exfoliate, then let skin dry. ★ STEP 3. Apply a small amount of the serum to your face, neck and décolleté. For best results, combine with our Matrixyl3000 Serum. ★ STEP 4. Wait for serum to dry then follow up with moisturizer. The serum will help pull the moisturizer deeper into your skin. ★ STEP 5. Eat healthier, sleep more and de-stress! Skincare products definitely help but even the best products won't be effective unless you start pampering yourself daily.

Book Review - Vegetarian Weight Loss: How to Achieve Healthy Living & Low Fat Lifestyle (Weight Maintenance & Heart Healthy Diet) - Jonathan Vine


Review-Vegetarian Weight Loss by Jonathan Vine

Author:  Jonathan Vine

Review:  I am not a vegetarian, but this book has many recipes that would fit into my lifestyle very well – I am also dairy and gluten free but I still found some great ideas in this book.  The Onion and Herb Frittata is delicious along with Egg in Avocado. 

The book is split into sections – Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinners – he includes weight loss tips and other ideas for healthy eating and why to switch to vegetarian eating.  Sweet Potato Pasta was good and I just used gluten free noodles instead of wheat like the recipe suggests.

I think eating more fruits and vegetables is a great way to improve your health and loss unwanted pounds that seem to stick to the middle of most women these days – I like the recipes in this book and I think they will be a great addition to my normal diet – I will stay a meat eater for now, but a vegetarian meal every few days will help with me and my families health.

Author Information:   My name is Jonathan Vine, and I was caught up in the vegetarian lifestyle a few years back. I have to say that giving up on meat did not strike me in a single moment, nor was it a swift decision. It was an inner journey that evolved within a few months. Eventually I came to realize that the thought of animals suffering causes me too much grief to continue eating them. That is my motivation.

I have always been very enthusiastic about cooking. For me this is absolutely one of the greatest joys life can offer. With my vegetarian cooking style, I never feel deprived, but rather, I feel satisfied and exhilarated with each bite.

My goal is to publish books that will empower readers to improve their health and well-being through simple everyday ingredients and low fat recipes that make eating affordable, realistic, and delicious.

Product Review - 100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge with Activated Bamboo - Pure Sol


Konjac Bamboo Charcoal Facial Puff Sponge





Review:  I like this little sponge - I have used it alone and with a few different facial cleansers.  My face feels smooth and soft when I use this sponge and I like the fact that it comes with a hook that pops on your mirror so you can hang it up to dry every time you use it.  No need to worry about contamination from other surfaces.

I love the way my skin has been feeling since I started using this sponge and I even look forward to using it - it feels great on my skin and I just squeeze it out really well before hanging it up for the night.

Product Information:  Safety Information
pureSOL Konjac Sponge is complete natural free of any chemicals. In the unlikely event you have any irritation, please discontinue use.

Indications
pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge w/ added Activated Bamboo Charcoal comes dry like a hard loofah. All you need to do is soak the sponge in a bowl of water for several minutes until it is soft to see the sponge transform!

Ingredients
Pure Konjac w/ added Activated Bamboo Charcoal powder

Directions
1. Soak the sponge for several minutes in water until it is fully soft. 2. Massage gently in a circular motion on your face with or without your favorite cleanser. Should you however chose to use an additional cleanser, you can apply a fraction of your usual amount, as the sponge will generate more bubbles. 3. After use, rinse the sponge and press it gently and press it with two hands. 4. Hang the sponge on the enclosed hook in a well-ventilated space. We recommend to replace the sponge every 2-3 months. After use, the sponge can be composted! To extend the life of your pureSOL Konjac Sponge we recommend keeping it in refrigerator if you live in a hot & humid climate. The sponge can also be sterilized every couple of weeks by boiling it in water or popping it in the microwave for a couple minutes!
