Toni's Review of The Chosen One by Gladys Quintal ***3 Stars***

By -


Trying to exist undetected in a human world with a human family, is hard enough when you are a vampire - but finding out your son is the fabled Chosen One, makes things even more difficult.


Will Alexi's love be enough to protect his precious child from the powers that be? Or will he be condemned to live out eternity alone.....

*************************************

The Chosen One starts immediately where Be Careful What You Wish For ends. 

In The Man of My Dreams you read about Alexi and Cassandra’s beginning.  In Be Careful What You Wish For you learn about an unknown history that is beginning to wind around Alexi and Cassandra, tightening ever so slowly and in The Chosen One all the roads converge into a grand battle.

I have very mixed feelings about this book.  I enjoyed reading about what happened to Cassandra, but I also felt overwhelmed.  There was too much, too fast in this book.  It felt rushed to me.  The ending also leaves me wanting.  There are rumors of two offshoot novellas to the series, but I cannot locate any information about them.

With that said The Chosen One basically ties up the loose ends and has a happy ending, but leaves unresolved issues for me.  All in all, the story was fine, but I would have a hard time recommending it without a thorough warning.  The Dreams Series is a very good series with a few issues though.  It has a very unique love story, build around a real life legend with a fascinating and frightening history.


Even though I have concerns with the final chapter in this series, it was still an enjoyable read for me as a whole.  I hope to see more from Ms. Quintal.  She is very imaginative and I can see her only getting better with her story telling.

Thanks for reading - Toni

So this is our last day to party :(  It's too bad because it's been such a wonderful time!  I've loved having each and every one of you here celebrating All Hallows Eve! Our final destination is................ Waverly Hills Sanatorium, located in Louisville, Kentucky, opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. It has since come to be considered one of the most haunted buildings in the Eastern United States. In the early 20th century, Jefferson County was severely stricken with an outbreak of tuberculosis. The original Waverly Hills building was soon home to over 140 patients. A larger hospital was needed for the overwhelming number of patients coming in, so construction of a five-story building that could hold more than 400 patients began in March 1924. The most common experience of visitors seems to be "moving shadows" or "shadow people". These are shadows that appear to have some substance - able to ...

Welcome Back Everyone! Today we will be exploring the wondrous Town of Halloween. Halloween Town is my children's favourite Halloween Movie.  I thought it might be fun to put a little spin on this make-believe town. During the day Halloween Town looks like a lovely place to visit and play.  But!  At Night it turns into a spooky and scary place.  We are going to do like most Ghost Hunters and explore this town.  Let's see what do we need....   OK Everyone grab a piece of equipment and let's start exploring! To the right we have a graveyard, who wants to explore there?  Be sure to bring your camera and recorder to try and catch some EVPs.  You never know what ghostly voices might come about.  Down the road a little i another Haunted house, be sure to stay away from the windows, they are seriously creepy. Don't worry Ladies!  We have some wonderful men in Uniform or Halloween Costumes who will stick ...
