Shiloh Connor is cursed and becoming more and more invisible and there's only one thing that can cure her…

The Connor Chandelier

It once bestowed good luck on the family that owned it but it's now been missing a long time and everyone in the family is cursed

But when the Chandelier suddenly turns up again the Connor family moves to the small town Little Joe  that's in, well, the middle of nowhere Texas, to break their family curse once and for all.

But Shiloh will soon meet her stuck-up cousins the Baxters, who seem to have many connections with the Chandelier too and might want it all for themselves…


Luck In Little Joe was a good book. There honestly wasn't anything too amazing about it but it also didn't have anything that ruined it either.

All in all it was a good read. If you like a good story about friendship and family with just a pinch of luck; this is your book.


I received this book from BookSirens in exchange for an honest review

If you enjoy a nice mind boggling time travel story with brain twisting paradoxes Eternal, Everywhere, With You might be the perfect book for you!

Now, that being said, this book is extremely confusing. So bad, that I was confused like 85% of the time.

While I don't mind being confused while reading, I don't like being confused for that long.

Eternal, Everywhere, With You gave me big A Wrinkle In Time vibes with the whole mixing of spiritual, scientific and fantasy elements, which I thought was neat and worked really well.

The characters were all right, but I didn't feel like I really connected with any of them. They felt like just names for most of the book, but towards the end I could definitely tell the author had made progress with them. So it might just be me not really caring for any of them.

All in all, this definitely was an unusual read and although I thought it was pretty cool, I didn't love it.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
