Birth of the Sand Viper: Origins of Jafar (Dark Immortal Flames, #0.5)

Written by: LaSasha Flame
Narrated by: Matyas J.


This was quite an interesting story. Showing the backstory of Jafar and how he became the man he is in the Aladin books / movies.

Its not a very long book so I dont want to say too much to give things away. But I think many people will enjoy it. The descriptions contained within this book are very detailed to keep you knowing what is going on.

The narrator does a great job bringing this book out. His tones going up and down in all the right areas.

I am glad to have been able to get this book. I got it free in and am leaving an honest review of my thoughts on it.

Christmas Freebies in 2020

So it is getting to that time again when people start getting ready for the coming Season. I thought I would compile some things that people may like to use. I am adding in pictures of what it is underneath cause just a lot of typing looks too boring in my opinion, and seeing what you will go to look at through these links seemed to be a better way to convey what's there.

So the first thing I was thinking of was a personalized video from santa and the one I found looks quite cute from this website here . There is a free option as well as paid options. Now I haven't tested it just yet because my daughter is too old for these, but I will still be testing it.

For those who like to make and personalize Christmas cards I found a cute site where it has that and more here .

I seen these cute templates you can print out for your child to fill in for Santa Here .

Phone call from Santa himself. So there is so many ways to have this happen, I am going to list a couple:
The first of which is one where you do not need a cellphone for. If you go here . You can choose to have a call come from Santa or The Elf and then there are 4 other options "Be Good" , "On My List" , "Something Special" , "Sweet Dreams". This is not personalized to your child but it can be something if you don't have a cell phone to use.

Now this was a hard call to chose between the multiple apps out there, but when I seen this one with so many options I thought I would pass it on Here , you can get it for iPhone or Android .

I hope these help people out during the coming season. I know I will be using some of them. a

Crazy Dangerous

By Andrew Klaven
Published by Thomas Nelson



This is a great read, i can really feel the pressure he is getting from the other children. This book is a great read for young adult and adults. I throuhgly enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more like it.

This book is about how Sam Hopkins (a preachers kid) is sick of being treated differently and falls into the wrong crowd. He realizes he needs to break away from them but is unsure how. Until a girl (Jennifer) is almost beaten up by them. He saves her, and gets many hit, punches, and kicks for it. Now she seems to think that he is her friend and his name is magical (she has schizophrenia, or so every believes). Jennifer tells Sam that something very bad is going to happen and soon, she told him of her this tree with a lake (and later he realizes he knows where it is). On Sunday, she later figures out and tells him, the bad thing will happen on Sunday.







Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review.




Book Description

"You probably want to hear about Jennifer and the demons and how I played chicken with a freight train and—oh yeah—the weird murder . . . you're definitely going to want to hear about that."

Sam Hopkins is a good kid who has fallen in with a bad crowd. Hanging around with car thieves and thugs, Sam knows it’s only a matter of time before he makes one bad decision too many and gets into real trouble.

But one day, Sam sees them harassing an eccentric schoolmate of his named Jennifer. When Sam finds the courage to face the bullies down, he loses a bad set of friends and acquires a very strange new one.

Because Jennifer is not just eccentric. To Sam, she seems downright crazy. She has terrifying hallucinations involving demons and the devil and death. And here’s the really crazy part: Sam is beginning to suspect that these visions may actually be prophecies—prophecies of something terrible that’s going to happen very soon. Unless he can stop it.

With no one to believe him, with no one to help him, Sam is now all alone in a race against time. Finding the truth before disaster strikes is going to be both crazy and very, very dangerous.

Book Description:

Two years ago, I didn’t know I had a stalker. The cops swore my fiancé’s murder was random. But the way the murderer looked at me behind his mask didn’t feel random. I know the cops are wrong, but they won't help me. That murderer; I feel like he’s been watching me for a long time, hiding in plain sight as I go about my broken life. Living with fear and anxiety is hard, but things are about to get a lot harder. "Beautifully Broken" is a gripping, contemporary romantic thriller that will keep you guessing.

Older Book Description:

Hey Siri, record a voice memo. Hi, my name is Paisley. These will probably be my last words so, here goes. Right now, I’m hiding in the bathroom. I’m sorry I’m whispering but I’ve got to be quiet; I think someone is trying to break in. I don’t know why, but lately, I swear I’m being watched. Someone is lurking, waiting for the right moment to hurt me. Why? Your guess is as good as mine; I live alone thanks to the man who murdered my fiancé two years ago. I don’t date because I fear I’m too broken now, and my anxiety is too much to handle. I have one best friend who hasn’t kicked my paranoid ass to the curb. And my coworkers love me, probably because I’m always covering their shifts. Oh my gosh, here I am rambling when these could be the last words I ever speak. Ugh, I really am a mess! Anyways, who would want me dead? Ah I can hardly breath. My heart is pounding, I can’t even see straight, my breaths are growing more ragged by the second. Please don’t come in. Just leave me alone.

Love Heart Pendant Necklace

Price: CDN$ 22.99

Pretty little necklace. Choker type size on adults but still fits. Cute design. This one was my favorite out of the designs cause I love purple and blue things. Very glad to have been able to get this necklace though will likely put the pendant on something with a longer chain since I am not into choker style necklaces.

An Amish Love

by Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, and Kelly Long There is a page in front of the book the tells what some Amish words are that are found in the book, they are in alphabetical order. While reading the book those words are italicized. There are 3 different stories in the book. Healing Hearts, A Marriage of the Heart, and What the Heart Says.

First Story - A Marriage of the Heart At the beginning a girl, Abigail Kauffman, is annoyed by a guy (by his casual dismissal of her beauty), Joseph Lambert, and to pay him back she says that "he . . . well . . . just made me feel a little uncomfortable with the way he was kissing me . . . and touching . . . and I . . ." Her father then says he will talk to him and they will be married, but that wasn't what she wanted, but her father said to dress in blue (which is the color for marrying). Now she will have to face his scorn.

This story, when read in full, warms the heart. It made me smile in a lot of different parts of the story. Great story that is well written.



Second Story - A Marriage of the Heart A blind woman, Ellie Chup, who was in an accident 5 years ago, has learned how to cope with being blind. She has a buisness going called Ellie's Jellies. The jelly is in full demand, one person even wants 4 cases made up. She believes no one will ever want her, since her last fiance didn't want to be with her.

Chris is a guy who blames Isaiah (Ellie's Cousin) for the accident that took his fiance's life (the same one from where Ellie was blinded. He moves away 5 years and finally comes back thinking he may be able to forgive Isaiah, until he finds out his sister is marrying him in 2 weeks.

This was a neat story to read, it captures your interest right from the start with the nightmare mentioned.



Third Story - What the Heart Says. This is about a middle-aged couple who has no children in their house no longer and sets out to rediscover the love that had brought them together before their children. They have been an upstanding members of the community

All in all good reads but i would say my favorite was the first story, then the second and last (but not least) third.

Lost Coast (Undead Ultra #3)

by Camille Picott

I love this series to date, the author really goes into detail but not overly so that you find yourself skipping over passages. This is the third one in the series and they really give you a run for your money ;) pun intended.

Kate has changed a lot in each book, you get to see/read/hear how each thing affects her.

The book follow Kate again as well as a soldier name Ban. I will say that while it was interesting hearing things from Ben, I am more into Kate's chapters xD.

Ben really likes Kate which he speaks about in his inner monologues but he is really crud at expressing anything to her. Along with Kate and her training with the others, Ben helps everyone learn how to shoot guns.

There are some very shocking scenes you wouldn't see coming but still can bring your emotions to the extremes.



I was given a free audiobook on the Authors Direct app. This review is my thanks to the author for a great read that I really enjoyed. These are my thoughts on the book.

Book Description:

What if zombies evolved … and organized?

Out of the ashes of the zombie apocalypse, Kate and her small band of survivors have created a life and become a family. They train together, scavenge together, and survive together.

Their comfortable routine is interrupted by a frantic distress call. When Kate forms a rescue mission, she and her people find themselves faced with the unthinkable: evolved “alpha” zombies capable of organizing hordes of the undead.

Even worse, the alphas are on the move--and they’re headed straight for the university where the survivors have made their home.

Can Kate and her people outwit the alpha zombies and save their home? Or will they become part of the undead horde?
