Resurgent Shadows

One day life is grand.  The very next day something unpredictable and unimaginable happens.  What would you do if it were you?  Would you stay and fight or would you hide?  These are the questions the characters ask themselves as their adventures take shake shape.  This is the first book in the Successive Harmony series.


There are several mystical creatures, but they have very real human characteristics.  There are a few I would love to know.  My favorite character is Sigvid.  He reminds me of myself sometimes.  He does not take any lip from anyone, but shows how he cares in a very subtle way.  My favorite part of the book is when the baby white dragon was about to be born.  Its dad went to find her rider.  Cannot say what happens, but it is awesome.  I actually laughed out loud when the Dvengers interacted with a flashlight.  Sounds silly I know but it was funny.  There were parts in the story where I could feel the pain from one of the main characters.  At first it was a little confusing.  There is a small backstory but some elements of what happened are missing until you read more of the book.  I can honestly say I did not see the end of Chapter 2 coming.  Once you think you have the story line where you think you know what will happen next, there is a twist.  It flows wonderfully to keep you reading though.


This book reminds me of the Lord of the Rings and Resident Evil.  If you like these types then you will enjoy this one.  I would recommend this for young teens to adults.  I kind of wish the ending was different but being a cliffhanger just makes me wish the second book was out.  I cannot wait to see what the second book is like, if there is a second book.



Synopsis:
Humanity stands on the brink of utter annihilation. Dragons fill the skies.

Ever since the Breaking, when earthquakes tore the world apart and unleashed the nightmares of myth and legend, humankind has struggled for survival.

Caleb is one of the survivors, and the only thing he cares about is getting revenge on the monsters that killed his wife and son. When he saves the life of a dverger--a mythic dwarf-like creature--Caleb discovers that the Breaking may have brought good to the world along with the evil.

On the other side of the country, Eric leads a small group of survivors in relative prosperity until a powerful war hammer is forced into his hands--a weapon with a will of its own so commanding that it sends Eric on a mission with one purpose: destroy the creatures that threaten his home.

Caleb and Eric must each decide to do something no one has dared before: to hunt the Dragonlords.

LED Tactical Torch Flashlight


I live in the country, we use flashlights all the time.  From checking on the animals when the sun isn’t up to lighting a room when we lose electricity.  I have lanterns, but I am afraid my house will catch on fire.  A multipurpose flashlight could be an excellent addition to any toolbox or camping bag.


This flashlight has a lot of interesting features.  If you’re a mechanic you can pull the top all the way up and the light is very narrow.  This way the light is not reflecting on every surface.  My husband showed me a neat trick several years ago.  If you have white ceilings then you just point the light there and it will reflect ceiling will reflect the light.  LED flashlights are best for this as they are brighter than normal flashlights.  With this one you can choose between high to low.  It also has a strobe feature.  The one I like the best since we do a lot of camping and hunting is the SOS feature.  I checked this out and it is perfect.  You do not have to do anything except click to the SOS and wait.  The only thing is I wish they had one in black.


The flashlight is $29.99 but is on sale for $12.99.  I have been carrying this since I got it and my kids ask for this one when they need to go outside.  It is small but bright.  I would recommend this for anyone but especially if you’re a camper or hunter.  For those of you with a go bag I would highly recommend this.  The SOS feature itself makes it worth the money.




Product Description:



Weather Resistant Anodized Aluminum Alloy Body - Industrial Grade, Most Versatile Light Available!
5 MODES: High, Medium, Low Beam, Strobe and an SOS function. Zoomable to use anywhere.
Easy Operation: Either click button to switch modes, OR Light tap button to switch modes quickly!

Silicone Ice Cube Tray-4 Cubes


I love these big ice cubes.  I put three cubes in a glass and it took about three hours to completely melt.  That was at least three drinks that weren’t watered down.  These hold about 8 tablespoons or almost half a cup.  Would make great baby food cubes, much better than the smaller trays.  You don’t lose ice on the floor with these either.  Just simply push up and out they come.  I already have plans on making Halloween ice cubes.  A candy spider or eyeball would look awesome at a party.

Product Description:
  • ✔ HIGHEST QUALITY TRAY MAKES 4 CUBES - Unique 2 color tray is made with BPA-free FDA-approved silicone & high quality steel & lets you make slow melting 2 inch ice cubes.
  • ✔ SPILL-RESISTANT EMBEDDED STEEL ICE TRAY - Each mold has an embedded steel rims that offers stability & prevents spills. Simply fill it with water & place in the freezer with no flimsiness.
  • ✔ MAKE PERFECT SIZED CUBES - Unlike most silicone ice cube trays Superb Cube has individual flat cube compartments which make perfect ice cubes.
  • ✔ EASY ICE REMOVAL WITH EZ RELEASE - Each cube compartment is separate from each other so you can easily push each cube from the bottom. No need for awkward bending & twisting.
  • ✔ NOT JUST FOR ICE CUBES - Use it to freeze juices, coffee, teas, stocks, soups, & more. Or bake goods in the oven (safe up to 220°C / 428°F). The only limit is your imagination :)

Silicone Ice Cube Tray-9 Cubes


I love how I no longer lose ice on the floor because all you have to do is push up instead of twist the trays.  Each slot holds a little over 2 tablespoons, it felt like to me that it took a little longer to freeze but I think I was a little excited to see how they came out.  They can stake on top of each other so it saves room in the freezer.  This makes perfect squares so when they are out of the trays, whatever you put them in they stack up nicely.  So many different things you can do with these besides ice.


Product Description:

  • ✔ HIGHEST QUALITY TRAY MAKES 9 CUBES - Unique 2 color tray is made with BPA-free FDA-approved silicone & high quality steel & lets you make slow melting 1.4 inch ice cubes.
  • ✔ SPILL-RESISTANT EMBEDDED STEEL ICE TRAY - Each mold has an embedded steel rims that offers stability & prevents spills. Simply fill it with water & place in the freezer with no flimsiness.
  • ✔ MAKE PERFECT SIZED CUBES - Unlike most silicone ice cube trays Superb Cube has individual flat cube compartments which make perfect ice cubes.
  • ✔ EASY ICE REMOVAL WITH EZ RELEASE - Each cube compartment is separate from each other so you can easily push each cube from the bottom. No need for awkward bending & twisting.

The Sorcery Code


The Sorcery Code by Dima Zales is set back in the day when kings rule and the gifted are the higher class.  Some serious mathematics is the key to the higher class and some try everything in their power to keep it that way.  While others just want to help.  This is the first book in the series followed by The Spell Realm.


My favorite character would have to be Gala.  She is new to a strange place and is just trying to figure out where she fits in.  She is very compassionate but learns quickly that gets her unwanted attention.  Along with this I have a least favorite, Auguasta.  She judges this by only seeing half of the information.  Always sees the bad first and doesn’t stop to consider the good.  The characters all seem real, like they could actually exist somewhere.  I’m sure everyone wished at some point that they could do magic.


You never knew exactly what Gala would do next, she wasn’t that predictable.  My favorite part of the book is the big battle.  It was hard not to be scared and relieved at almost the same time.  I can’t say whether I laughed or cried during the book, but there were plenty of times I was scared for Gala.


I had to literally tell myself that I couldn’t read during the day, I had things that were piling up.  When I read at night I fought sleep so I could see what happened next.  Never worked, fell asleep with my reader still in my hand.


This was a very good book, even if I did lose a little sleep.  I can’t wait to read The Spell Realm.  If you like urban fantasy they you will love this book.  I would suggest this book for older teenagers and up.  I honestly can’t compare this to another book or series, haven’t read anything quite like this before.


Synopsis:

From a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author comes a captivating tale of intrigue, love, and danger in a world where sorcery is entwined with science . . . 

Once a respected member of the Sorcerer Council and now an outcast, Blaise has spent the last year of his life working on a special magical object. The goal is to allow anyone to do magic, not just the sorcerer elite. The outcome of his quest is unlike anything he could’ve ever imagined – because, instead of an object, he creates Her. 

She is Gala, and she is anything but inanimate. Born in the Spell Realm, she is beautiful and highly intelligent – and nobody knows what she’s capable of. She will do anything to experience the world . . . even leave the man she is beginning to fall for. 

Augusta, a powerful sorceress and Blaise’s former fiancée, sees Blaise’s deed as the ultimate hubris and Gala as an abomination that must be destroyed. In her quest to save the human race, Augusta will forge new alliances, becoming tangled in a web of intrigue that stretches further than any of them suspect. She may even have to turn to her new lover Barson, a ruthless warrior who might have an agenda of his own . . .

Thyroid Rite Supplement


People do not understand what it is like to have a thyroid condition.  Well unless you go through it yourself.  I have what is called Hoshimoto’s Thyroiditis.  Basically it means that my body is attacking my thyroid and it will eventually stop working.  I saw a show where a doctor said it is better to take natural supplements.  So I decided to try Thyroid Rite.


I have the hardest time trying to stay awake.  I lose energy fast.  For example I think of the things I need to do and I have no energy to complete the tasks.  This supplement has 100 mcg of B12, which is supposed to help you stay awake and give you energy.  That is the only ingredient that I know what it does.  As much as I want to say I only have to take these now, I cannot.  My thyroid is too far gone to just rely on natural supplements. 


As always, when taking supplements check with your doctor first.  Thyroid Rite is $35 but is on sale for $13.95.  I recommend this for someone that is just starting to have problems with their thyroid.  I really suggest talking to your doctor as these types of supplements could affect your thyroid checkups.


Product Description:

Best Formula: Thyroid Rite contains 14 handpicked natural vitamins, herbal extracts, and minerals. Contain natural source iodine (kelp) for easy absorption and maximum benefits. Thyroid Rite not only supports healthy thyroid function, but also supports general well-being*.
Natural and Safe: Contains powerful natural extract Kelp, Schizandra , Ashwagandha Root , Bladderwrack , Cayenne Pepper to support optimal metabolism, energy and mood. Contains tyrosine (300mg), an essential amino acid for making vital hormone thyroxine by thyroid gland.
Contains Five Essential Minerals: Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese and Molybdenum.
Backed by 100 NATURALS' Unprecedented Five 100% Guarantees : 100% Natural | 100% Drug Free | 100% Satisfaction Guarantee | 100% Full Refund If Not 100% Satisfied for ANY Reason in 100 Days | 100% Made in USA.

 BEST VALUE: Thyroid Rite® has 120 caps. Other brands have only 60 caps. Do you know that most Thyroid Supplements are manufactured by the same manufacturer with the same ingredients? That is because our FDA registered facility also manufacturers for many other brands. Some brands may have higher selling ranks than others. It is not because they are any better in quality. It is simply because they started to put the product on Amazon earlier than others. Buy Thyroid Rite®, Save Money Now.

50+ Questions to ask While at the Dinner Table


Have you ever sat at the dinner table and asked your children how their day was.  My kids always tell me either good or fine and that is the end of the conversation.  It is like pulling teeth with them.  I am a stickler for eating together, but really how do you get your kids to talk.  That is when I read 50+ Questions to ask around the dinner table by Lisa Ruscyk.


This book has 5 questions as a starting point for conversations.  From there you can ask follow up question to whatever your child answers may be.  I put these questions on craft sticks in a small container on the table.  One of my children may pick a stick and usually the conversations last all during the meal.  They get excited now on what we will be talking about at dinner.


This book is $7.47.  I honestly do not believe it is worth that much. Although I love the conversations now at the dinner table, I just can’t see myself recommending this.



Product Description:

Sometimes we sit at the dinner table and do not know what to say. Our days are long and filled with activities. We enjoy the time with family and friends but how do you get a conversation started at the dinner table? These questions are a way of both connecting and listening with others. Try to not judge others or yourself answering these questions. There is no right or wrong answer. This is a family safe list.

Sport In-ear Headphones


I have gone through so many earphones in the last year it really isn’t funny.  If I get a pair and end up not liking them, they go to my kids then the trash if they don’t like them.  I have tried blue tooth earphones and they just don’t feel right, always feels like they are going to fall out.  Then I came across at set from Yi-Tech, needless to say my kids don’t get this pair.


There are so many different things I like about these earphones.  I like how the earphones come with different tips, so we can choose which one best fits the canal.  They fit directly in the ear, which helps reduce outside noise.  The cord is relatively long.  This could be a good thing and a bad thing.  It’s good because I can still carry my phone in my back pocket and have plenty of room to turn my head.  There have been a couple times when I got to close to a chair or cabinet nob and it was pulled from my ear (this does not feel good).  I also found that it can make different apps open on my phone.  The sound is perfect though, my husband talks really low and I can’t hear him sometimes.  I actually have to turn the volume down when talking to him with the earphones in.  They have a slider adjuster and a clip. 


The earphones are $49.99 but are on sale for $18.99.  As much as I love these I wouldn’t pay the list price.  But if they were to stay under $20, I would get another pair if need.  I like the overall fit of these.  They take a bit to get used to but after that they are comfortable, although I don’t wear them that much when not in use because I can’t hear well out of the ear they are in.

Product Description:


Noise Isolating - In-ear-canal design provides ambient noise isolation to improve listening experience
Ergonomic earpiece design - It provides long-term wearing comfort and never falls out
Clear, Dynamic Sound and Enhanced Bass - Applying powerful high-performance neodymium magnet moving coil drive unit, achieving higher sensitivity and wider frequency response
Built in Microphone and Volume Control - Answer Calls/ End Calls/ Fast Forward/ Rewind/ Pause/ Play
Compatible with all - The Earphones are compatible with Apple iPhones, Android phones, tablets, Kindle, eReaders, and any portable devices with a standard 3.5 mm jack.

LED Safety Light



I hate to say this but these lights are too cute.  The package comes with two lights, two extra batteries, two Velcro straps, and a screw driver. 

You can almost put them anywhere, or use them for anything. My first thought was of course putting them on the bike, but then other ideas started popping in my head as soon as I started playing with them. They are small enough to place on a dog collar. You could also use them during Halloween, since these are much brighter than the glow sticks. The lights have three different modes to choose from, just pick which one best suits the use of them.

These are $17.99 but are on sale for $12.99. I think it depends on what you need them for to justify how much you want to spend. I am going to use these for my dogs when we talk at night so they are worth my money. They run on watch batteries so should get much use out of them as long as they are turned off when not needed.

Product Description:


Slim, lightweight, compact, and super bright safety lights with two emodes of illumination

Includes 2x extra CR2032 batteries and 2x velcro straps
Easy to use: clips on easily, stays on securely
Weather resistant
70 to 96 hours of illumination

Stainless Steel Water Bottle


Water bottles seem like a dime a dozen, they are found everywhere.  The trick is finding a good one that suits your needs.  I have searched and searched for a good quality water bottle.  I recently bought a subzero bottle from a different store (I like my water really cold).  I stopped using it after about a week due to excessive condensation.  I am so glad I found this water bottle from SteadyDoggie


Not only does it hold 20 ounces but there is also no condensation.  I can have it by my computer with no worry.  I like how it comes with two different lids, although I would not keep them together.  I use the cap with a straw when I am not in “workout mode.”  When I walk I need water a little faster so I use the regular cap for this.  The no condensation is a plus for this as well.  My hands are no longer wet which makes the bottle easier to hold.  I also like how I do not have to constantly fill it up.  Which means less trips to the water dispenser.  The only thing I do not like is there is nothing to put on the straw when it is not in use.


This water bottle is $38 but is on sale for $17.88.  Even with the lack of straw cover I think it is worth the money.  The fact that I can drink more water (which is usually a challenge) and it stays cold with no condensation, is everything I was looking for in a water bottle.  It makes it easy to ensure that I get at least eight glasses of water, just fill it up four times and you have passed that.

Pet Grooming Brushes


If you have dogs or cats you know what is like combat pet hair.  I have three dogs and three cats, one of the dogs is a Husky.  She needs to be brushed almost every day.  Shyann brings in so many leaves it’s like I have a tree inside.  I have had many pet brushed but none of them seem to do the trick.  That when I came across Boomerz Best grooming set.


When I first opened the package, I was immediately impressed.  The handles are gel, having three dogs this comes in real handy.  I hand hold the brush longer because it is more comfortable in my hands.  I like how it is two brushes in one, one side gets the top coat and the other gets deeper.  I enjoy having the two bushes together, it is less stuff to keep up with.  I can finally sit down with my dogs and great a bonding time that is no longer a hassle.   This also comes with a dematting comb.  Which makes grooming go that one extra step to insure that the dogs coat stays healthy.  Super easy to use and there is no more toting around scissors. 


This set is $69.99 but is on sale for $39.99.  If it stays on sale I would recommend this product, especially since there is a life time guarantee.  I like the brushes and so do my dogs.  I have not tried the cats yet (a little apprehensive about that chore), but we will see.


Product Description:


REMOVES TANGLED, MATTED FUR WITH ROUNDED PINS THAT ROTATE 360 DEGREES TO ELIMINATE TUGGING EPISODES. That's one of the things people like about the dog brush and dematting comb is that they have many benefits.

Casual Combat Boots


We all know what a pain shoe shopping can be.  Either the store does not have the right size in the style you like, or does not have the style.  With my foot being as small as it is, the size is the most frustrating thing for me.  Then there is the time that is spent trying to get the shoes comfortable to wear for an extending period of time.  ZooShoo has just made it so much easier to shop for shoes.

These boots are the best of both worlds.  They are combat books, but if worn with dress pants they are also elegant.  There was no “break in” time for these.  I actually forgot I was wearing them by the end of the first day.  I can even wear ankle socks with them and have no problems with rubbing on the top.  I like the inside zippers.  I can tie the laces once to a comfortable fit and never have to tie them again.  There are also outside zippers that open to a hidden pocket.  I thought these were just for decoration, but I was wrong.  The hidden pocket extends from the zipper down to the sole of the boot.  You can put just about anything in them, just be careful as it is on or near the ankle bone.  They are very easy to clean, all you really need is a damp rag to wipe off any dirt.

These boots are $26.  I would recommend them on the break in time alone.  I for one do not like blisters on my feet.  The hidden pockets are an added bonus.  One on each boot accommodates both left and right handed people.  I am so happy with these combat boots that I will be getting the tan ones as well.  

Product Description:


Synthetic
manmade sole
Shaft measures approximately 9 from arch
Platform measures approximately .50"
Synthetic upper, synthetic sole
Measurements approx: Heel 2", 8.5" shaft, 12" opening circumference.
Non-skid sole and cushioned footbed.

                                                        Fit: Runs true to size.
                         Lace up detail for all day comfortable casual comfy wear

Blissfare Neck Wallet-RFID Blocking


The number one concern while traveling is how to keep your things safe.  Most of the items stay in your hotel room.  What about the items you carry with you.  How do you put your mind at ease so that you can enjoy (truly enjoy) your vacation. With a neck wallet there are no more worries or checking your pocket to make sure your wallet is there.

This wallet has two straps that you can configure many different ways to secure the front of your body.  It says that it is protected from unwanted scanning but honestly I have no way to test that aspect of the wallet.  This wallet has four pockets, three with zippers.  Two zippers open on the top and one opens on the left hand side.  You can carry anything you want to.  I can fit a Nook in the pocket with no zipper and hardly any of it shows.  If you carry a purse I would still carry the neck wallet while on vacation or crowded places.  Just put all the unreplaceable items in the neck wallet (sorry makeup doesn’t really count) so if the unspeakable happens, no worries.  The only problem I see with this is that the clasps on the straps are easy to break.  But if someone is that close I would hope you would be fighting back.

This is $25 but is on sale for $18.95.
  If I were to travel I would get this again.  It is worth the money to have my valuables in front of me instead of in my back pocket or a purse.  I just wish they had one for right handed people.  Even though it sounds funny, the side zipper should be on both sides; one for lefties and one for righties.  But it sure beats a fanny pack.


Product Description:



8 x 5.5 inches, made of 100% Rip-Stop Nylon for Water Resistance and Durability, Padded Mesh Backing breathes and wicks moisture providing comfort for many hours
Built-in RFID Blocking lining prevents unwanted scanning of your credit cards and passport
2 Removable and Adjustable Straps for neck and waist provide the best security. Straps are extra thick for durability and extra soft for comfort.
3 Security Zipper Pockets, 1 Easy Access Pocket for your phone or other items you access frequently, Large Zipper Pocket will fit most cell phones including iPhone 6s Plus and Galaxy S6
Unisex, One Size Fits Most

Carriet Smart Sticky Wallet



Have you ever wondered why women carry such big purses?  I wish I could answer that but even I have no clue.  I like to keep things simple and carry only what I need.  I carry only a wallet and a phone, both of which fit into my pockets.  But, there are times when even that is too much.  I have seen phone cases that double as a wallet but none of which fit my phone and they are only the newer phones.  Carriet has a wallet that attaches to any phone.

The Carriet wallet fits perfectly on my Galaxy Note 4.  The back is very sticky and it takes a lot to for it to come off the first time.  It still remains sticky after the first removal but it weakens the adhesive.  I am not sure how many times someone can remove it before it loses all of its stickiness.  I like the way it stretches to accommodate even odd shaped items, like my headphones.  When you place an ID card or money in the wallet you can shake it and they stay in place.  Personally I wouldn’t put those in there because if you leave or someone takes your phone then those are gone too.  I only put my headphones in there.  I tend to misplace those all the time.

This is $20 but is on sale for $11.95.  Honestly, at the regular price I wouldn’t buy it.  I am having difficulty even with the sales price.  I like the product don’t get me wrong and it is a good idea.  I just think maybe that is a little high.  With that said, if I lose the sticky on mine I do not think I will be replacing it.
