This is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and authenticity. Join Lil Peter as he takes a bold step to deliver a class speech and learns that being himself is the ultimate path to success. When he extends a helping hand to his brother, Marty, to conquer his stage fright, the two brothers unlock the magic of embracing their true selves.

This story shows kids to believe in themselves and stay strong, even in the face of challenges. Be True, Lil Peter, Be You invites young readers to explore the significance of self-confidence, resilience, and the beauty of being authentic. It's a reminder to all of us to be proud of who we are—encouraging kids to shine in their own awesomeness!

And now for the secret... As with many tales from our Lil Peter book series, this one draws inspiration from real events in Peter's childhood. In a special tribute, we dedicate this story to Peter's actual brother, Martin Anthony, a remarkably gifted tribute artist and singer.

Peter Valdez and Tasche Laine, co-authors

Peter Valdez III and his wife, Tasche Laine (a multi-genre author), collaborated on their first children’s book, Get Up, Lil Peter. Get Up!, to pay tribute to Peter’s grandfather. The oldest of 29 grandchildren, Peter was nicknamed ‘Lil Peter’ to differentiate him from his father and grandfather. Each story in the series is told with a message or lesson that impacted Peter’s life as a child, and grounded him as an adult.

Peter was born and raised in and around the Los Angeles area, in California. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with Tasche and their pups, Story & Page. He also enjoys coaching and playing soccer.

First, I want to thank Peter Valdez, Tasche Laine, Mei Mei Leonard and Skye Blue Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Be True Lil Peter Be You is in my opinion Peter Valdez, Tasche Laine and Mei Mei Leonard’s best book ever!! The characters were very relatable, the story was fun, and there were some very important messages conveyed. Lessons that both young and old would appreciate. 

I absolutely loved how Peter dedicated this book to his brother and best friend Martin Anthony Valdez! What he wrote about Marty was very beautiful! 

One aspect of the book that I loved was the bond the two brothers had! You could tell how much they loved and supported each other. 

Mei Mei did an incredible job bringing the story to life with extremely cute and fun graphics. She is very talented.

At the end of the book there are some fun activities for the kids.

As we welcome the Rowe family to our beautiful clifftop hotel, a shadow passes over my husband’s face. In that moment I see it: my husband is hiding a terrible secret. Has he put us all in danger?

Mark and I pride ourselves on giving visitors to our hotel, high on the rugged Maine cliffs with views of the ocean, a vacation they won’t forget. But the Rowes arestrangely over-familiar when they arrive with their teenage daughter. The wife puts a hand on Mark’s forearm and her husband meets my eyes with a knowing look as I hold my little son tight. They gush that they loved their previous stay here… But I’m certain I’ve never seen them before.

Mark reassures me that the Rowes are just being friendly. We have so many visitors, maybe we forgot meeting them. When I am locked in the master bedroom for over an hour, he later soothes my panic and says it was just an accident. But I know one of the Rowes was out in the hallway listening to me cry for help. I hear one of them whispering a lullaby to my baby on his monitor. I cannot trust these people.

But as the relentless icy rain gives way to the biggest blizzard of the season and we become cut off, I realize my son and I are trapped. Mark knows more about the Rowes than he’s letting on. I’ll do anything to protect my gorgeous baby boy. But how far will I have to go, to keep him safe?

The Hotel is a totally twisty locked room thriller that you won’t be able to put down. Fans of Shalini Boland, Freida McFadden and Jeneva Rose will be glued to the pages!

Emily Shiner always dreamed of becoming an author. After spending years devouring stacks of thrillers, she decided to try her hand at writing them herself. Now she gets to live out her dream of writing novels and sharing her stories with people around the world. She lives in the Appalachian Mountains and loves hiking with her husband, daughter, and their two dogs.

First, I want to thank Emily Shiner, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Dang Emily Shiner you are on fire girl!! I thought The Wife in the Photo was good but OMG The Hotel was even better!! I was totally addicted!! I was at the edge of my seat biting my already short nails! This book was mind blowing, thrilling, extremely suspenseful, and total jaw dropping shock value!

The Hotel reminded me how much I hate all things winter!! I know, I know I live in Buffalo, NY, home of terrible winters-but I hate being cold!! Even though it is hotter than blazes out this book gave me all the chills-not just weather wise!! 

Sweet little two year old Henry was my favorite character of them all! This little guy pulled on my heart strings hard! He was just the cutest little guy ever!

I absolutely loved how Emily built up the suspense with all the hidden secrets and drama leading up to the earth shattering climatic scenes!! Ohh those secrets were oh so good and twisted!! 

Ohh you should have seen my facial expressions as I was reading the climactic scenes!!! I could not believe what I was reading!! One minute I was laughing evilly and the next I was stone faced shocked!! Many around me asked me if I was ok! 

Emily is a brilliant storyteller!! She has a gift for writing in this genre! Bookouture is so lucky to have her on their team! I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next! 

Another 5 stars for Emily Shiner!! Go out and grab this book and put it on the top of your TBR list along with The Wife in the Photo!! 

#BooksonTour #TheWifeinthePhoto #EmilyShiner #Bookouture #NetGalley

 

I pick up the photograph from their mantlepiece and carefully wipe away the dust. The beautiful wife. Supposedly happily married and enjoying a family vacation. I know her husband killed her. And I’m going to make him pay…

This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.

In their impressive home, I busy myself preparing meals and peeking at carelessly discarded mail, looking for proof of his crimes. Evan hovers and I’m sure he is watching me… even as I bond with Jessica. But whenever he catches us alone together, his face darkens. I realize I have to get her out of this house before it’s too late for her, too.

Then I find Lola’s diary, tucked away in a closet out of sight. Her words, hastily scrawled on these pages, change everything I thought I knew about this family. As I hear footsteps on the stairs, I know I’m trapped. And I’m in more danger now than ever before…

The Wife in the Photo is a totally twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.

Emily Shiner always dreamed of becoming an author. After spending years devouring stacks of thrillers, she decided to try her hand at writing them herself. Now she gets to live out her dream of writing novels and sharing her stories with people around the world. She lives in the Appalachian Mountains and loves hiking with her husband, daughter, and their two dogs.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I would like to thank Jan Moore, Maryellen Kim, and RABT Tours and PR for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

Be You Bravely is a beautifully written children’s book by Jan Moore and illustrated by Maryellen Kim. Jan conveys some very important messages when explaining to a child about being transgender. Maryellen comes in and creates a beautiful seascape with dolphins as the characters. It is a book that made me smile from ear to ear. 

This is a book that I would highly suggest for anyone young or old that know someone that is transitioning or has transitioned. It gives a message that everyone should be loved and accepted for who they truly are!
