My review for Goth Girl, Virgin Queen by, JoAnne Keltner

This story is a keeper!

Jackie is sadly like a lot of kids in high school, teased for being different.

Even though her issues are different I can see a lot of teens being able to relate to Jackie and understand why she hides herself from everyone.

Jackie Turov is special. But sadly due to an incident when she was younger, has made her hide her "gifts" and shield herself from everyone around her. Even one of her so called "friends" betrays her and that's when Jackie's life begins to get really interesting.

This is a great Paranormal story! It was easy to read and I really liked the main character, Jackie. This is a YA book but, as an adult, I had no problem liking it too. 

I'm hoping there is more to Jackie's story in a book two...hint hint:)

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a new YA Paranormal. 

I give Goth Girl, Virgin Queen

4 Stars!!

Calling Jackie Turov psychic makes her cringe. But Jackie’s no normal seventeen-year-old. She picks up emotions from people and objects like a freak. The emotions make her sick, and the guilt she feels for lying to her church when she was twelve causes her to deny her psychic abilities.

So Jackie goes goth to make others stay away from her and forget her past. But her past is soon resurrected when her jealous friend Trish invites a demon, a persecutor of healers, to steal away Jason’s love for Jackie. The demon causes Jackie to be bullied for the lie she told and puts her best friend, Jason, in danger.

Jackie must learn how to use her gift to protect Jason and herself and to heal the negative energies of those around her. To do so means she must overcome her guilt and accept who she is before the demon claims her soul.

Our journey begins...

Bittersweet...Book 1 
Bittersweet is the story of CEO Jake Evans, Owner of Evans Enterprises, a Fortune 500 Consulting firm and a cornerstone of Acorn Hills. Every business Jake touched turned to gold. He had everything any man could ever want, but his penchant to satisfy his own desires seemed to always get him in trouble. Not only is this story about Jake's journey, it is also about an amazingly close group of friends who have been there for each other since childhood. They grew up and went their separate ways and now in the "salt and pepper" years of their lives find themselves united once again through the businesses they've built. But more importantly they remain connected through the friendships that have transcended their lifetime.

Mystic Capers...Book 2
Growing up in the '70's was a most unique time.  This is the story of Ginger Farnsworth, cheer leading captain, dance team lead and budding chef.  Through the next forty years Ginger takes us from how her penchant for cooking turned into a unique very busy catering and pastry business and then finally to finding and marrying the first (and only) love of her life.

Grace thinks of herself as a "Jill" of most trades and is not afraid to learn new things. "If you can't learn something new each day, there's something wrong," she says.

The ideas for her Acorn Hills series stem from her growing up years as well as the issues she has had to overcome along the way. "I've developed a new romance category...for the over 50 crowd...I'm calling it the salt and pepper genre. My books deal with real life issues, overcoming adversity, maintaining a positive outlook, and so much more. Just because we are 50 yrs old or older doesn't mean that life stops. We all still want attention and affection and adventure! We want to experience all life has to offer. We use our age as wisdom to share with those around us. We are sexual,sensual, and sensible," Grace explains.
