Review: The Alpha's Redemption by L.E. Wilson

 

Book Description

This book was previously published with the title "Fae Hunter".

Being the alpha isn't always easy.

 

Keegan McRae is the leader of the Austin werewolf pack. And sometimes, for the good of all involved, a male has to make choices he wouldn't normally abide by. Like allowing the Faerie you're sweet on to be the main attraction in a rodeo. Not as the cowgirl, but as the livestock.

Stubborn as a bull and just as fearless, Bitsy caught his interest the first time she flipped him off. But before he had a chance to make things right with her, she got loose. And though his wolf howled in protest at the loss, he had no choice but to let her go.

 

Bláthnaid (Bitsy) Dunn swore she would never again set foot in the hell hole that was Texas. Or anywhere near the arrogant shifter who was the main reason she hated it so much. The last time she'd seen him, his well-worn boots had stomped all over her hide—and her pride. Yet, here she was again.

This time, however, she's here on her terms. Keegan needs her help to infiltrate the Fae world, and she needs him to help her find her father. His green eyes are full of remorse, and his easy smile is hard to resist, but forgiveness is not part of the deal.

 

However, Keegan is used to fighting for what he wants. And he wants Bitsy. This time, she won't be getting away.

My Review

Keegan is a wolf shifter and the alpha of his pack. His pack had started tracking down Fae and holding them in the 'rodeo' that they held. In reality the rodeo was just a way to torture and hurt the Fae and let the wolves get out some of their aggression so they didn't turn on each other. What they didn't know was there were different kinds of Fae and some of the Fae were innocent people who never hurt another living being. But the wolves all thought they were all the same so they treated them all the same. 

Bitsy is one of those innocent Fae so when she and her family get caught and brought to the rodeo, it's really awful for them. Keegan seems to know somewhere in the back of his mind that they are different but he doesn't do anything to help them because he doesn't want his pack to turn on him. So when some guys from another pack comes to save some of the Fae, there's a fight but they get away. Now living with wolf shifters that understand her and her family, she is shocked when Keegan asks for her help. 

Keegan has an ulterior motive for asking Bitsy because not only does he want her help, he wants her. Keegan has something of hers that she wants back so she agrees to help him. But just when things are going well for them a huge twist in this story happens and the worst thing that could happen... happens. 

I really thought it was all over for them at that point. This book made me sad and mad at the same time. The rodeo was wrong on so many levels and the fact that Keegan was okay with it made him a big jerk in my eyes and I couldn't forgive him. The book ended well but it's hard to really enjoy a book when you don't think that the hero deserves a happy ending. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars. 

Review: Accidental Abduction by Eve Langlais

 

Book Description

Big, bad and purple.

It was supposed to be a simple job. Grab some specimens from Earth and sell them on the interstellar black markets. In and out, with no one the wiser, except Tren accidentally abducts a human.

A barbaric female, who doesn't know how to be quiet and obey. That will affect her selling price especially since she only possesses two breasts, and a single mouth. Yet, in spite of her shortcomings there is something about her spitfire nature that intrigues him.

Maybe he should keep her. He's definitely not keen on getting rid of her after he seduces her. A space pirate doesn't usually fall in love, but when an enemy decides to take Megan, Tren realizes he will do anything to get her back.

My Review

Megan fell for a guy that ends up pushing her off the boat they go out on and leaves her in the water to die. All this guy wanted was her money and whatever else he could get from her. 

Tren is over the ocean of Earth in his ship collecting some aquatic specimens when he accidentally scoops up Megan in his tractor beam. 

Once Megan gets aboard the ship and stops herself from being sealed up in a tube with the fish, she falls and breaks her leg. The ship lets Tren know that a specimen has gotten loose but when he goes to check out what happen he finds Megan passed out on the floor. After putting her in the medical machine to fix her leg, he decides to keep her and sell her at the next place they land. But she isn't making things easy for him at all. He's not used to a mouthy female but can't help but be intrigued by her personality. 

Little by little Megan wiggles her way into his heart and even though Tren is a big purple alien, Megan begins to feel something for him as well. When they face danger and she finds herself in a bad situation, she didn't expect to be saved but she is. I loved Tren. He might be a big, scary alien and ex-mercenary but he ends up being a great mate. 

Megan made me laugh so many times. Her smart mouth and sarcastic come backs are hilarious. These two are total opposites but they sure make a great couple. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. 

Happy Raturday!

 

Some of my newer followers have asked me if I have rats because of the Happy Raturday posts. So I thought I would answer you. I don't have rats right now but I have in the past. I have a dog right now and when I had rats I would let them out to crawl all over the place and can't do that with Falcor around. So maybe sometime in the future I'll have rats again. I thought I would share some of the pictures of the rats I have had. This was Patches. 

This was Oreo and Dusty

This was Ares, Brodie, Jasper and Hades. 

Fang. I named him Fang because he bit Ken several times. He never bit me and he and Ken did make friends after a while. It just took a little while for Fang to get comfortable with him. He would also sleep like this hanging over the hammock. Patches is sitting right next to him but you can only see his back.

This was my very first rat, Romi. A neighbor had her and worked all day so gave her to me and Ken so she would have someone to play with during the day.

Lucky. He was in a pet store and because he only had 3 legs, they were going to kill him. One of the workers there called my daughter to see if I would want him and I said yes. He was a real sweetie.

Flower. She was my only hairless rat. she loved to dive bomb our shirts and cuddle in there. 

Marbles. He was my grumpy guy. You can just tell by the expression on his face. He didn't like to be held but he would come sit on the couch next to me as long as I gave him a snack.

Scribbles. I would leave my coffee cup on the table next to his cage in the morning while cleaning his cage, playing with him in the morning and filling his food bowl. He would run out and sit on my cup to get a drink of coffee or tea. lol 

So now you know. This is just a few of the rats I had. I also had hamsters, gerbils and fish. 

Apartment Life #240

 

This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 22 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 23 years here in a weekly blog post.

----

On Tuesday I was sitting at my desk in front of the living room window and watched a woman stomp her way across the two chairs and table we have sitting on front of that window. Two days before that though she was out asking my daughter and her friends if they had extra blankets, shoes, socks ect. My daughter's friend gave her a blanket because I'm pretty sure she's homeless and thought that would be the end of it but the next day this woman walked right into his apartment without knocking and asked for more stuff and even asked if she could stay there. Obviously the answer was no. But the next day she was back asking again for blankets, socks, sweats, and shoes. But the day she stomped on my chairs and table I saw her throw away a pair of shoes someone had given her. She's asked my daughter more than once if she could stay in our apartment to which my daughter's reply is always no. I think she might have been mad at her saying no to her more than once and that's why she stomped over the table and chairs. I think she might be mentally ill to act the way she is. 

----

On Wednesday I'm sitting at my dresser at 7am doing my makeup and see this guy walk over to the corner of the building across the street and urinate. The next morning at 4am he and his girlfriend woke me up when they were outside having a very loud argument. This is the same guy in the video below.

 

On Thursday I was sitting at my dresser in my room putting on my makeup and these two people started arguing. The door they keep going in and out of is the laundry room for that apartment complex and they have been staying in there at night. They are homeless and I've seen them smoking "meth or something" out of a pipe several times. They've been around here for years and they always argue like this. She is usually the one hitting him and then screams that he hit her first. You don't have to watch the whole thing, all they do is scream at each other but it gives you a good idea of what goes on pretty much every week with these two around here. The sun was right in my face which is why the video isn't too clean but if you turn the sound up you can hear them pretty well. 

----

On Wednesday morning my daughter walked outside and several of the people around here told her that the Liquor Store that is in the Strip Mall right next door to where I live as seen in this post, was raided the night before and the owner was taken out in handcuffs and arrested for selling marijuana, cocaine, and meth out of his store. Everyone around here knows it's been going on there for years and everyone around here thought that he was paying the police off to leave him alone because he wasn't careful about who knew that he was selling drugs out of his store at all. Guess he wasn't paying them off after all. 

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

Review: New Moon by Lisa Kessler

 

Book Description

Jaguar shifter Sebastian Severino is an enigma. He lives alone, works alone, and will die alone. But the night he's attacked by a female werewolf, nothing will ever be the same. And when his young niece is kidnapped, Sebastian, the deadliest assassin Nero has ever produced, will be forced to choose a side...

Isabelle Wood has never taken the easy path. As a bounty hunter and now a bitten werewolf without a mate, she's searching for answers to her father's disappearance while helping to lead an Alphaless Pack. The night she gets the opportunity to take out their enemy, with her blade at his throat, her wolf discovers her mate in the last person she can be with.

My Review

I was really hoping that Sebastian would get his own book since he's been in the last two books that I've read. He intrigued me because I wasn't entirely sure what side he was on and I don't think he really knew when it came down to it who's side he was on either. His father is the head of The Nero Organization who had kidnapped people and did experiments on them. Now his father wanted to kidnap some of the family he didn't know existed until recently *or a couple of books ago* and do more experiments on them. He's not a good guy and Sebastian is really only following orders so that his father doesn't give the order to have him killed or worst. 

Isabelle is Raven's sister and they were both in the last book I read. Raven is now Luke's mate and lives in Reno with his pack. Isabelle was turned into a wolf shifter when Raven bit her when they were being held hostage by the crazy alpha of their pack. Isabelle was a bounty hunter before she got turned and she's still working as one now. 

Their first meeting isn't without a little drama, I mean she did stab him but then she got him medical help so it kinda sorted itself out. Ha! As soon as Isabelle touched Sebastian she knew that he was her fated mate. Sebastian is a jaguar shifter so I'm guessing that's why he didn't feel the pull of the mate bond as soon as she did. It took a little time for him to fall for her but it was obvious that she started getting under his skin right away. 

Isabelle wants information about her father and how he died since she found out that he worked for the Nero Organization. She thinks that because Sebastian's father is the head of the organization and he works for his father that he will have some info for her but she knows he's the enemy because working for those people is what got her father killed. But Sebastian might not be the enemy that she thinks he is and she can't kill him once she knows he's her mate. 

While they are trying to get things sorted between them, he finds out that his niece has been kidnapped by his father and he knows that his father plans on doing experiments on her so when his sister and brother in law ask for his help, he knows that he's going to help even though they don't like or trust him. 

Sebastian's sister is mated to the alpha of the Reno pack and even though the alpha and most of the pack don't trust Sebastion, he's there to help save his niece. The danger was high, the action was great and the romance was so good. I really enjoyed this book. I read that there is a spin off series about the Sedona pack and now I'll have to read that too. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Review: A Dragon Speaks Her Name by Kira Nyte

 

Book Description

Kaylae Drayce is convinced she’s crazy. She hears voices in her head and dreams of fiery apocalyptic wars. That’s nothing compared to the terror she feels when the only people she loves are taken from her and she’s forced to run for her life all the way to Nocturne Falls. The town promises her one of two things: Answers to her madness or a one-way ticket to an asylum.

Zareh Lutherone is shattered to discover the Firestorm dragons’ ancient enemy has found and murdered his Keeper. He is plotting his next move in preparation for another war when a beautiful stranger literally falls into his arms. He doesn’t know who she is, only that the dragon inside him demands he protect her at all costs. It doesn’t take long to understand why.

Faced with a daunting task of convincing Kaylae she isn’t crazy—she is his Keeper and lifemate—just got complicated. Their enemy is hot on their tail and will stop at nothing to get their hands on Kaylae in order to destroy the last of an ancient dragon race.

My Review

When Kaylae is told by her uncle to get in the car and run away, she does just that and follows the clues in the letters that she finds along the way to get to Nocturne Falls. She meets Zareth in Nocturne Falls and he immediately knows that there's something special about her. 

As soon as Zareth realizes who Kaylae is and who she is related to, he understands his pull towards her. She is his keeper and his lifemate. A keeper is the eyes and ears of the dragon out in the world and Zareth is a dragon shifter. He's been on the run from an enemy who wants him dead and also killed Kaylae's family. The enemy would also kill her if they get the chance to do so. So he and his clan have no choice but to prepare for the enemy to make an appearance because they know they're out there trying to find all of them.

The enemy were called The Baroqueth and they wanted the dragons powers. They found out that if they killed the dragons, they could take in the dragon powers as their own. Of course one of the Baroqueth found them in Nocturne Falls and Kaylae finds herself in danger. This doesn't end on a cliffhanger but they aren't able to take out the Baroqueth so I'm sure we'll see more of them in subsequent books. I really like how this ended and I really like how Zareth and Kaylae find themselves so attracted to each other. I found this book to be a really fun one. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

All About Falcor

 

Falcor is turning 7 years old in May. We've had him since he was 6 months old. One of our old apartment managers had him but she and her husband abused him and kept him in a dog pen all the time. We didn't know any of this until she got fired and some of the other residents told Ken what was going on. so Ken asked her is he could take Falcor since she was moving and had said she really didn't want him. So we got him. 

He loves Spring time because he loves to sniff all the wild flowers and all the new weeds and grass that grows around here at that time.

This is something that he does all the time. He will stick his back legs out and just stand there stretching. 

He makes some of the funniest faces. 

My daughter and I realized that if you put your finger near Falcor's neck, he will snarl and growl at you. 

He won't bite anyone but he will snarl when he's playing and it's so funny. sometimes he'll start snarling and growling out of the blue and then start running around the apartment with the zoomies. He'll stop, snarl and growl and run off again until he gets tired. 

Falcor is really curious when I get a package or am taking pictures for the blog. He will photobomb me almost every time. 

I was trying to take a picture of the pillow I got and Falcor was right there to help. Plus, I think he likes his picture taken. lol 

I was trying to get a picture of this because I got this for my grandson and Falcor jumped up there to see what it was. 

I was getting a picture of these books I won a while back and there's Falcor. When I get a box or package in the mail, he sits right by me until I show him what was in the box. He's always excited when his food and treats come from Chewy because then he gets a treat. 

Review: Big Bad Billionaire by Saranna DeWylde

 

Book Description

Blake Woolven is the bad boy CEO of Woolven Industries, but he’s badder than the luscious, BBW Randi Rutger would’ve guessed. After Woolven took down her father’s company and devoured it like a shaking rabbit, she’s determined to get close to him and make all the Woolvens pay for destroying her father. Blake knows Randi’s agenda, but the wolf inside him will do anything to have her. Even expose the Woolven family secret. When Randi sees Blake and his brothers shed their skins beneath the moon, she’s terrified. But it’s just what she needed to bring him low—that and the silver nitrate plasma gun her father designed. With her loyalties torn, Randi must choose between avenging her father and the big bad wolf who clawed his way into her heart.

My Review

Randi thinks that Blake killed her scientist father so she is out to ruin him anyway she can. She stands up to him in his office and offers to break the code on the project her father was working on if Blake gives her a job but she lets him know that she plans to take him down and ruin him for what she thinks he's done. 

Blake is a werewolf and as soon as he meets Randi, he knows that she is his mate. Only problem is she hates him and blames him for her father killing himself. Her father was a scientist and was working on some secret project for Blake's company but now he needs Randi to read the code that her father put all of his notes in. 

After signing all the papers to come work for Blake, she is informed that she is to take up residence where he lives because that's where her father's lab was and where he and his family live. Randi doesn't know what to believe when Blake shows interest in her because not only does she think someone like him would never go for her but he knows that she is there to ultimately bring him down. But no matter what she thinks, she cannot ignore how he makes her feel when he turns on the charm and after she starts to believe that he really does like her she finds out something about him that changes things. 

Along with the struggling relationship, there seems to be a war brewing between the different wolf packs. Not only that but a certain vampyr (Vampire) crossed Blake and he's not happy about it. 

Randi is no shrinking violet. She can hold her own and ends up being one badass heroine who can stand up to whoever she needs to. Which is why when she finds out what Blake and his family are, she freaks out a little but quickly comes to terms with it. She seems to take everything that's thrown at her and it was a lot, with grace. Sure, a girl needs a little time to come to terms with things but she does and proves that she is very much the right mate for an alpha. 

There's a huge twist and a few turns that don't seem to go the way I was thinking. The overarching plot is left open for this series but the romance between these two is concluded by the end of this book. I'll have to read the next book to find out what happens with the vampyr's, his uncle's new bride and the war. 

I really liked this book and look forward to reading the next book in this series. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. 

Happy Raturday!

Apartment Life #239

 

This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 22 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 23 years here in a weekly blog post.

On Tuesday I was walking Falcor and spotted this used syringe on the sidewalk. I used a piece of paper to pick it up and throw it in the garbage. Don't need the little kids around here getting a hold of something like this. 

Then on Thursday I was out walking Falcor and looked in the rocks that my apartment complex has instead of grass and spotted something. You probably don't see it...

This is what I saw in the rocks...a crack pipe. And again, I carefully put it in the trash. I don't care if people want to do drugs, that's on them but don't leave your paraphernalia just laying about for kids to find.  

And the hits just kept coming this week! On Friday I started seeing the orange tops from the needles, all over the ground so I started keeping an eye out because I had a feeling there would be more dirty needles laying around and I was right. To the left of the syringe there's the orange top to the needle. They couldn't even be bothered to put the cap back on and throw the needle away in the trash can that wasn't 15 feet away. 

A few minutes later I spotted yet another used needle and orange cap about 20 feet from the last one. It pisses me off that these idiots won't even put the cap back on the used syringe. There are lots of kids around here and people walking their dogs. All of these needles are in the places that the homeless people around here usually gather or sleep. There are trash cans near here and so I picked them all up and disposed of them. It's beginning to be a real problem around here as you can see. I'm sure I'm not the only one walking their dog and putting these things in the trash. 

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

Review: Wolf Moon by Lisa Kessler

 

Book Description

As the last Pack member without a mate, Luke Reynolds has become an outsider. When he takes a new job in Sedona, Arizona, he's looking forward to starting a new life. But everything changes the night he finds a beautiful woman stranded on the side of the highway.

 

Feisty and headstrong Raven Wood has been bitten and turned against her will. Luckily, her spirit is stronger than most, and she has every intention of escaping the Sedona Pack. Somehow. The sexy lone wolf who rescues her might be just the answer she's looking for. 

 

But the Sedona Pack Alpha has a mission, and unless Luke and Raven can survive him, they'll lose everything.

My Review

Luke Reynolds is the twin of Logan Reynolds who is a famous rocker but he's also the last member of his pack to have not found his mate yet. Luke and his brother are also werewolves. Taking a job in Sedona, away from his pack while he tries to cut out a life for himself, he finds a woman along the side of the road and stops to help her. 

Raven was turned into a werewolf against her will and now the crazy pack alpha is keeping her sister against her will to make sure that Raven does as she's told. But she is escaping to find help and warn another pack that her alpha is coming for them. Turns out that the guy who pulls over to help her when her car dies on the side of the road is from the pack she's hoping to warn and get help from. 

Once Luke learns what and who is coming for his pack, he warns his alpha and the alpha wants him to come home right away but Luke has another idea...get into the rogue pack and take out the alpha. But gaining the trust of Raven and the alpha puts both of them in danger. Once he proves to the crazy alpha that he's there to join the pack, he's given more privileges because he shows the alpha that he's a good shot with a gun. Things become more complicated when Luke and Raven touch and realize they are mates. 

The danger they find themselves in is crazy. Some characters from previous books come popping up in this one which made the mystery of what they were really doing all the more intriguing. The Sedona pack was in bad shape and needed help so a lot of the members, some who had been turned against their will were happy to help Luke and Raven out. 

I'm glad that I started reading this series again because I really like these books. I'll definitely be reading more of this series. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Review: A Bridge To Love by Lee Colgin

 

Book Description

Everyone knows a proper troll must never leave his post. Arlo is thrilled to have his own bridge to guard, though it’s a lonely job. A troll should enjoy being alone, but Arlo has never been very good at being a troll. He longs for companionship, but guards that secret like he guards his bridge.

Toby, a cheerful wolf shifter, serves as a messenger between villages. When his route is suddenly blocked by a fearsome troll, he must charm his way across the bridge. Little does he know, he’s charming his way into Arlo’s heart as well. But Toby has his own secrets he dare not reveal.

As the season’s fly by and the holidays approach, their friendship blooms and begins to flourish into something more. But can Toby risk his heart for a troll bound so tight to duty? Will Arlo leave his bridge for love?

A Bridge to Love is an MM Fantasy Romance featuring an adorable gay troll and the sweet wolf shifter who falls for him. Tropes include friends to lovers, slow burn, and hurt/comfort. Sappily ever after guaranteed!

My Review

Arlo and Tobias met when Tobias was walking to his family's home and had to cross a bridge. Arlo was the troll and guarded the bridge and expected a tribute of some kind in order to pass over the bridge but the first time they met, Tobias had nothing to give the troll. Arlo let Tobias pass the first time for free but that night on the way back, Tobias brought a plate of cookies for the big troll. Tobias invited himself to eat a cookie with Arlo and they sat and talked and slowly became friends. 

Over the next year when Todias would pass over the bridge, he and Arlo would sometimes sit and talk. It was different watching a budding romance unfold between a wolf shifter and a troll but these two were so cute together. This was such a feel-good, sweet, romance that all I could do was smile while I was reading it. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. 

Review: Defender Cave Bear by Zoe Chant

 

Book Description

Two damaged people. One deadly enemy.

And a pair of hell-raising flying kittens....

Tirzah hacked into a shady agency’s computers to get proof of their evil deeds...and uncovered a secret so wild it can’t possibly be real.

Shapeshifting supersoldiers on the run from their creators? A lab studying captive mythical creatures? It has to be some bored employee’s fantasy novel. Right?

Then the flying kitten turns up. And the assassins. And the gargoyles.

But just because Tirzah uses a wheelchair doesn’t mean she’s helpless. Okay, so some secret organization is gunning for her? She’s going to gun right back... and she knows exactly who can help her. If she can track him down...

Pete was once a Recon Marine. That was before he was abducted and turned into a monster. Now he's escaped his prison... but in his heart, he’s still in chains.

It’s not just his ferocious cave bear he has to hide. For the safety of everyone - his team of misfit shifters, his family, and especially his thirteen-year-old daughter - no one can discover what his captors did to him.

He can’t let himself get close to anyone.

Until the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen hacks her way through all his defenses, to offer him a job he can’t refuse...

My Review

Tirzah is a hacker, a really good hacker and that's what got her in danger. When she is almost kidnapped and the kidnapper wants her to delete a file she stole, she knows that she's on to something big. But after decoding it, she knows she needs help. 

Pete Valdez is a retired Marine and had been kidnapped and experimented on. He can now shift into a cave bear but keeps a strong hold on it because he see's himself and his animal as a monster who would hurt others. He now works for the Defenders Security Agency with a couple of other shifters. 

Tirzah is a hacker that called herself Override. The file she decoded and opened read like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. It claimed that Secret black ops experiments on kidnapped soldiers gave them super powers and turned into shape shifters. But it was all real because Pete was a cave bear shifter and one of the guys he worked with was a velociraptor shifter. 

Tirzah hired Pete from the Defenders Security Agency to keep her safe. But when another shifter comes after her, Pete keeps her safe but gets hurt and they end up back at his place so he can heal. For a moment they think they are out of danger but the danger just keeps coming which gives them time to get to know one another better. 

The twists, the flying kittens and the secrets really made this a fun book. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Daily Goodie Box has been around since about July of 2016. I signed up for an account right after I heard about them. They are 100% free, you don't even have to pay for shipping. And for a free box it's a nice sampler box of products.

What was in the box?

Know Brainer Foods - Burnt Caramel Max Mallows- These are good! I love marshmallows and these were gone quick. I shared them with my grandson and daughter. My grandson is a fan. 

Interstate Bait - Big Game Brisket Sunflower Seeds- So these just tastes like regular sunflower seeds to me. I didn't taste any other seasoning besides salt. But they were good. 

2by4 - Liposomal Vitamin C- It says to add 1 tsp. to juice or other drinks each day to get your Vitamin C. I did and I didn't taste anything so this is a great way to get your Vitamin C. Easy to use works for me. 

Pretzel Pete - Whole Wheat Mini Twists- These were really good. My grandson likes pretzels so we shred the bag. We both really liked them. I thought they were a little more crunchy than other pretzels that I've tried which was fine with me.

Real Chemistry - Environmental Rescue Daily Serum- This daily serum absorbs fast and doesn't leave a sticky residue behind. I like that it felt like nothing was on my face but my face ended up feeling soft. I really like this and there's hardly any scent at all. 

Brami - Italian Snacking Lupini Beans- This was the only thing out of the box that no one here liked. They were not good at all. I didn't like the taste or the texture. 

Zollipops - Zolli Gummez- These candies are so good. They are sweet and not real chewy. My grandson liked them as well. 

ShiKai - CBD Body Lotion- I really don't think CBD products do anything, it's just a huge fad right now and after using this product I still think so. I felt no difference in pain in my knee's after using this CBD lotion. I think these kinds of products do nothing at all. 

All they ask you to do is try the products and leave reviews for the products you got in order to be eligible for more Free Goodie Boxes. As you guys already know, I'm a fan of all these types of boxes. I love all the different subscription boxes and it's really nice to be able to try new to me products for free. This is a great box to try for.

Oh and one more thing, if you visit their FB Page, they give away Goodie Boxes to people who interact with their posts. So if you've tried before and weren't able to get a Goodie Box, there's even more ways to get one now.

Daily Goodie Box. It's more than just Free Samples!

Have you signed up? Have you received one of these boxes?

I'm a fan of subscription boxes and love trying new products for free so this was a huge hit with me. New products+free box = Fabulous!

Disclosure: I was given and free box in exchange for a review but all opinions are my own.

Happy Raturday!
