Jinnrise Vol. 1 is a graphic novel geared towards a more mature reading audience. The store is based in the Middle East. There is an american international student named Andrew. This story is a blending of aliens and mythological. When the aliens Kibrani invade the Jinn comes to the rescue of Andrew and the young boy who owns the Jinn's lamp. 

The illustrations in the graphic novel are very detailed. I loved the coloring of this graphic novel. I defiantly think the story is different and can go in a lot of different directions. I like really liked the blue color of the Jinn. He really stood out in the battle scenes. 

I think if you are looking for a different story to read this one might be right up your alley. Its not what I normally read; however it was a good read. I can appreciate a good graphic novel even when its not my normal style. This graphic novel will be released on October 1,2013.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get an advanced copy of Hellboy The Midnight Circus. This is an epic graphic novel. 

This one features a young Hellboy who gets upset with B.P.R.D and runs away. He stumbles upon a weird and fantastic circus; that is inhabited by demons. It reminds Hellboy of his favorite story Pinocchio.  

The story is incredibly written. It was an excellent read that I enjoyed thoroughly. I actually read it twice before writing this review. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn. I loved the incredible art work. It wasn't brightly colored but having the darker art really made Hellboy pop.     

This graphic novel doesn't come out until November but it is a must have! It will be available in hardback and electronic. 

Review of Crime Wave By Rose Pressey

• BN ID: 2940148635710
• Publisher: Rose Pressey
• Publication date: 7/23/2013
• Series: A Maggie, P.I. Mystery , #1
• Sold by: Barnes & Noble
• Format: eBook

Rose Pressey is one of my favorite indie authors. Normally she tends to write paranormal books however she went a slightly different direction with this book. This book is a good old fashion mystery. I love paranormal books but I love to switch off to other styles. 

As always Rose wrote a great read. Her lead character Maggie is fun and is someone you can relate to. Jake Jackson is a charming and devilishly handsome male lead character.Not to be forgotten is Maggie's senior assistant Dorthy who I think maybe able to give Betty White a run for her money. Dorthy is also always armed with her knitting needles and peppermints. 

Maggie took over her Uncles P.I business after he passes away. She is happy to take on the challenge because she needs a change in her life. She is also thrilled to get a new client on her first day. A case that should be an easy one just prove his wife is having an affair. Which when she takes the proof to her client she discovers him dead. His cheating spouse is arrested; so she hires Maggie to help prove her innocence. Maggie shouldn't have taken this case between dead bodies, getting shot at and all kinds of other danger she may lose her life before she is able to start her life over. 

This is an excellent read; I would recommend this to any book lover.If you haven't read any of Rose's books before I defiantly think you are missing out by not reading her stories. She has such a way that really brings her characters to life. 

Orange is the New Black and Hemlock Grove

I know I'm a little behind with checking out Orange is the new Black; since it premiered on July 11,2013. It's a Netflix.com original, so I figured there are some people who don't think they want to invest time in a show that isn't on a cable channel. 

I don't know why I waited this long to start watching it since Netflix had already pulled me in with Hemlock Grove. This show like Hemlock Grove is for mature audiences. If your offended by language, nudity, or sexual content you might want to sit this one out. 

I watched the first three episodes out of thirteen tonight. I figure I will be finished season one by the end of the week. The main character Piper gets one year in prison for being involved in drug smuggling ten years prior. She is an uptight and not cut out for prison. The show flips back and forth between past and present. Not only do you learn about Piper but you start to learn about the rest of the girls and how they got were they are. 

If you don't think a woman's prison show is up your alley because your more the paranormal TV show type. Check out Hemlock Grove. You will have plenty of enjoyment. Gypsy's werewolf's  and other surprises oh my!! You also don't have to worry about getting hooked and having it canceled it has already been picked up for a second season. With True Blood coming to end we will need something to fill the void. What better way to do that then with Eric's real life brother who place Roman on Hemlock Grove! 

Origami Owl

With Origami Owl you can create living lockets to fit your personality! There is so many different ways you can design your locket. The first step is to decide what size locket you want they come in three sizes. The lockets also come in several color tones. 

Once you decide on the locket you can get started designing your locket. Adding plates or leaving it clear on both sides, picking your charms, and adding dangles. The latest hot style is mixing metals. For example a silver locket, with a rose gold plate, and yellow gold chain. Another option is a black locket with rose gold. 

Origami Owl has also teamed up with The Band Perry, to celebrate the power of being a pioneer. With a specially designed Tag to be a reminder to be brave and leave past troubles behind. “Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled” is expressed on the front and “I’ll go Anywhere” is quoted on the back of this limited edition Tag. You can also buy the Tag with an album or song download. 

Another new item that will be making it's debut this year is going to be the Origami Owl bracelet. This is going to be an exciting new addition to your collection.

Peachy Cheap Deals

One thing you may not know about me is I love to craft. The only thing I might love more then crafting is a good deal. PeachyCheap.com is a great website that offers one great deal a day. The deals are mostly stuff geared towards paper crafting. However there are some things like stencils or markers you can use for many different projects.

I have ordered from them a few times now. I have never been disappointed in the items I bought. The descriptions are very accurate. You also receive your items in about 7 to 10 days. You will get a shipping conformation in your email with a tracking number from BBC Enterprise. 

I find myself looking forward to the daily deal. I don't buy all of them normally about one a week or so. The photo is today's deal.

This graphic novel is geared for ages 6-8; however this is a must have for any DC comics enthusiast.

This book is written by Steve Korte and illustrated by Art Baltazar; it's also 130 pages. This is a great graphic novel. It not only gives you the names of super pet and villain pets but it also gives you the stats on each one. Such as what is that pets super powers are, its allies, and foes. My favorite pet is Giggles the laughing hyena, he is Harley Quinns pet. Since she is my favorite DC Character it makes sense. 

The illustrations in this book are bright and colorful. I also love how the pets mimic their owners in style and personality. There is not mistaking who they belong too. 

I truly enjoyed this fun book. It also gives you a bit of insight into your favorite character by the type of pet or pets in some cases they choice. There is an entire series of chapter books staring the super pets. This works as a guide or a companion book with the chapter books.

This graphic novel is available today! This book and all the other Super-Pets books are available through Capstone Young Readers.
