Format:Paperback
Hollyweird is a fun, quirky fast read that gives the battle of good versus evil a new and relatable spin from anything you've seen before. Clever use of the 7 Deadly Sins really make you consider just how easily you could give up your soul.
Told in dual narrative, Aly (human) and Jameson (Fallen Angel) giving insight into the plot and character interactions on multiple levels. Aly won a competition to meet her favorite TV star, she takes her BFF and her older sister, Missy, to act as chaperone. Although Missy has her own 'wannabe star agenda' for making the trip. Although Missy comes across as really self absorbed and single minded in her quest for fame, the emotional back story that fuels her ambition makes her slightly more tolerable.
I adored Jameson's narrative voice, his mission to regain his wings by helping undermine evil's hold on earth was well portrayed. A losing battle with evil gaining in corrupt places like Hollywood. The seedy side of fame very easy to picture and the narrative peppered with generation bridging pop culture references making it easy to relate to. His dwindling hope cuts through his initial appearance until he meets Aly. The saying 'together we're stronger' certainly applies to Aly and Jameson.
Aly's BFF, Des, is a larger than life person with her eccentric style and made up words, she is a really fun character to picture but I did feel that she hid behind her outgoing nature like a shield for her feelings. She brings a true sense of fun to the story and is a loyal, caring friend who stands by Aly no matter the situation.

Quirky and Entertaining!
5 May 2012
By Amanda Welling
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
First Impressions: I had just finished reading a super depressing novel when I decided to pull Hollyweird out of my every expanding To-be-read pile in hopes for a pick me up. The synopsis sounded fun and I liked the goofy cover art. Everything about this book seemed very unique and I was hoping for a good laugh to help bring my spirits back up. Well, this book delivered!
Characters & Plot: This novel was everything I expected it to be and I was in a great mood after I finished reading it. Hollyweird is about a girl named Ali who wins a contest, along with her best friend Des and her sister Missy, to go to Los Angeles to meet heartthrob Dakota Danvers. Well, Dakota isn't who Aly thinks that he is. In fact, he isn't a very nice guy since, well, he is the spawn of Satan. It becomes apparent that Dakota is up to no good and he has a plan that somehow involves Aly and her friends. Luckily for Aly and her crew, there is a fallen angel close by who is trying to earn back his wings, named Jameson. Jameson thinks by having Aly help him, together they will be able to bring down Dakota together, and by doing so he will get his wings back.
There was a lot to like in Hollyweird, and it didn't just consist of demons and fallen angels. Other supernatural creatures make some appearances too. The two main characters, Aly and Des, don't really see eye to eye when it comes to believing in the supernatural. Des totally believes in all things paranormal, while Aly is much more reserved and will only believe things when she sees them. There were some pretty comical scenes thrown into Hollyweird that brought up this books entertainment value and I found myself laughing quite a bit. The plot line was very cheesy though and Des could be very annoying at times. There were a few instances of Brand-Name dropping I personally could have done without, but hey! The girls WERE in Los Angeles, after all.
Romance plays into this story just a little bit, but it isn't front and center. I was okay with that because it wasn't necessary to the plot and I liked how it wasn't overdone. Not every single book has to have a plot line revolving around romantic relationships. It was a nice change for me.
Final Thoughts: I breezed through this book in just a few hours. It was short, fun, very cheesy, but a very good read. It's a "feel good" kind of book, which is exactly what I needed when I decided to begin digging into story. It reminds me of a good book to take with you to the beach, which I might just do over the summer time!

God's Ringtone is Stairway to Heaven?

Format:Paperback
The cover is brilliant, and actually, among those who live around the area, we DO call it Hollyweird. With good reason.
Dakota Danvers is the latest teen heart-throb of the moment - and he's also the son of Satan. His personal assistant is a fallen angel out to thwart Satan's evil plans, and the battle revolves around three impressionable young girls: Aly, who won a contest to come to Hollywood and meet Dakota, her best friend Des, and Aly's slightly older sister Missy who's officially serving as (bad) chaperone.
It's kind of a Girls Gone Wild, rated PG-13, and with the fallen angel, Jameson, acting only slightly more mature than the girls, trouble ensues. God sends him guidance via text messages, in teenspeak. The story alternates between Aly's POV and Jameson's, and by the end of the story, the voices are virtually identical.
It's light, fluffy, short,and fun.
