Fire in Frost 

( A Crystal Frost Novel)

Author 

Alicia Rades

Synopsis 

“There's a fire growing inside of me. It's not the harmful kind that can kill a girl like Olivia. It's the kind that can save her “


Crystal Fox tells herself she isn't crazy, but sane people don't see ghosts. As her psychic abilities manifest, Crystal discovers she can see into the future, witness the past, and speak with the dead. Add blackmail to the list of things she never thought would happen to her, and you basically have her sophomore year covered. After spotting her first ghost, secrets from her family, friends, and classmates begin to surface. Uncovering secrets can be dangerous, but giving up means someone will get hurt. Again.



Review 

Absolutely loved this book. It has a nice steady pace throughout the entire story and characters that you can relate to.  Crystal is walking through the hallway at school and sees the ghost of a girl that died a year before. While trying to figure out what is happening to her she walks in on her mom and her friends who are holding a seance and realizes she may not be crazy after all.


 With the help and support of her friends, her mom, and her mom's boyfriend Crystal discovers the secrets that have been lurking around town and what led up to the death of a young high school girl the year before. 


As she embarks on a journey of self discovery about herself and her newfound powers she learns how to help others. 


This is listed as a YA genre however the characters and storyline work for multiple ages. I'm 49 years old and could relate to multiple characters in the book as well as the family element that in my opinion is one of the main storylines in the book. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

Benefits of an Evening Meditation Routine

Let's face it, the stress of everyday life can wreak havoc on our physical, emotional, and mental health. That is why I started an evening meditation routine to help me unwind after a long day. I practice this routine every single night without fail and have seen great results. 5 Steps To Help You Relax I have five simple things I do every night to help me unwind to relax my body and mind. Step One A hot bath to soothe aching muscles. Step Two Sitting in my favorite chair with a cup of coffee and a book for thirty minutes to an hour.

Insight Timer App Review

Welcome back friends. I recently discovered a new app called Insight Timer and I wanted to share my thoughts with you on it. I learned about this app when a podcast host I listened to mentioned it and I decided to download it and try it out for myself and all of you. Insight Timer Review  I have been using the Insight Timer App for a few weeks now and the first thing I noticed about it was that there are no ads at all. The Insight Timer App is free to use, you can make donations if you choose and they do offer a premium service although they never push it on you which is really nice. Always a plus in my book. I would personally classify this app under self- help / self-care . Again that is personal assessment.  I will tell you this though, since the day I downloaded the Insight Timer App I have used it at least twice a day every single day.  The app has a lot to offer but I personally use it for meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, affirmations, manifestation, and journali...
