I won a signed copy of Becoming Alpha (Alpha Girl #1) by Aileen Erin and a beautiful bookmark some time ago and just got around to reading it.
Check out this beautiful cover. Do you think it’s safe to take a walk in the woods?

MY 56
We walked across the lawn to the large brick house. A lilting beat flowed across the yard. I took a look down at my outfit – black skater dress, thin silver belt, flip-flops, thin silver scarf, and black over the elbow gloves – as my nerves started to reach an all time high. I smoothed my skirt down and centered the knot on my scarf as my nerves rose.
MY ONE SENTENCE REVIEW
Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin has all the elements for a great young adult story, danger, betrayal, supernatural creatures of all kinds, romance, confusion, a fight to the death, and I’d follow her flip flopping footsteps all day long.
4 Stars
A flip flop gal! I’, in. Sounds exciting, Sherry.
My Friday 56 from Flesh
Sounds like a good one. Love the cover!
Does have all the young adult trappings. Love the flip flops.
This sounds like my type of book! I am glad you enjoyed it. I think I might too. 🙂 Have a great weekend.
This one sounds interesting. Enjoy your current read.
Meh, the use of the word nerves twice in the paragraph has me needing more to be sold. I just feel like we knew it was their nerves the first time they said it, so it was redundant in the last sentence. Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know….
Happy weekend!
This looks really good. Here is a link to my Friday 56: https://coffeeandcatsblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/13/friday-56-48/
Hmm…a skater dress? I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to look that up to find out what it looks like. lol
Glad we made you curious. 🙂
Looks like a good one! 🙂
