Romance. Mysteries. Supernatural. And sometimes I toss in a little Chaucer to break things up.

SO much to unpack here. This book is raw and gritty. In a small town full of secrets and broken people, Heather is a young girl straddling that space between childhood and adulthood. Her innocence is slowly being shattered as she becomes aware of what is going on in the world around her. The things she learns are tragic, numbing, terrifying. It's the story of being a woman.
Extremely well written, with well-developed characters, and done in such a way that you know exactly what is happening without reading the gory details.

This book was gifted to me by someone who couldn't sing Gina DeVee's praises high enough. While the overall idea of the book (realizing your highest purpose, identifying your desires, manifesting it all) spoke to me, I found the execution to be severely lacking. It's a book without a soul. It's a book written by someone who has paid to attend an abundance of self help workshops, read every book on the topic, and threw their own book together because they believe that having a book offers some sort of credibility.
I have no doubt that Gina is an inspiring speaker who motivates many to achieve their dreams, but for someone in her field, image is everything. As such, Gina needs to protect her image, her brand. This book should have been read by small groups for honest feedback before ever being published. (Ironically, she mentions hiring a marketing firm β¦
This book was gifted to me by someone who couldn't sing Gina DeVee's praises high enough.

I have no doubt that Gina is an inspiring speaker who motivates many to achieve their dreams, but for someone in her field, image is everything. As such, Gina needs to protect her image, her brand. This book should have been read by small groups for honest feedback before ever being published. (Ironically, she mentions hiring a marketing firm and cutting ties with them after two years because they were 'standing in her way'.) She comes across as spoiled, entitled, overly materialistic, shallow, and highly impressionable. She writes about daily meditations and 'tapping into Source' for guidance, yet she repeatedly bases her wants and desires on what she has seen others doing. Paris Hilton summered in Saint-Tropez! OFF I GO! It's comical. It's sad. What does SHE really want? Aside from feeling almost famous and seeking validation by wearing Valentino? She seems entirely guided by envy. I came very close to not finishing this book but I kept hoping she was going to pull it all together somehow. She didn't. Don't waist your time. I can sum up the entire 317 pages by saying this: Meditate on your desires. Seek spiritual affirmation. Create a vision board. Trust that focusing on that desire, envisioning it and believing it, will bring it to fruition.

I was really looking forward to this book as I enjoy myth and legends, but I couldn't finish it. The myths themselves were simply too outrageous, required too much suspension of belief, to find them engaging. Having just read a book on Celtic myth and monsters, I figured I was well primed for this content but it just didn't engage me the same way. I found the tales to be rambling and nonsensical. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it were less of a straight retelling and more of a here's the tale, now let's talk analysis and how it has shaped our world via pop culture, history, etc.
