A different perspective

I really liked that the book was written from the perspective of the dark witch. Lady Isra’s character and the dark world she lives in reminded me of all the fairy tales I used to love reading about as a child. The story was well written and kept my attention. This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Sravenheart and and I’m sure I’ll be checking out her other books.

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7)Trey: European Redemption by Shandi Boyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes is a dark romance story. Shandi Boyes is not one to shy away from the darker side of things and likes to push the boundaries to give us something raw and twisted. There may be triggers for some as it deals with human trafficking, violence, abuse and more. If you can see past these you will find that whilst it makes you cringe at times it is a great story. Shandi’s writing always captivates and enthrals me as I stepped into the world of mafia’s and the utter despicable darkness in there.

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love StoryThe Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan is based on a true story. One of love but nearly impossible with the boarder/wall between Mexico and America. It is also one of hardships for those who want to find a better life and one where human trafficking, drug trafficking and more take place. It is an emotional read and some of the characters were not to my liking. There are moments when the story takes us back in times and I sometimes felt a little lost. It is one of those stories that lead to what if’s as it is a real problem in today’s world.

Wow what a story it isn’t all rainbows and unicorns by far it is a raw emotional heartbreaking story. Human trafficking isn’t a pleasant thing to read about but this storyline was phenomenal the emotions injected in this story is pouring of the page’s keeping the story alive and makes you eager to turn the page’s. I enjoyed this story there is some distressing scenes but they are raw and really help you understand what is happening. Brilliant read!

North to Nara (Crimson Sash Book 1) by Amanda Marin – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

North to Nara (Crimson Sash, #1)North to Nara by Amanda Marin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

North to Nara is the first Crimson Sash book, a dystopian YA series by Amanda Marin. Marin paints a picture of the Nation, built on loyalty (following the Expulsions which dealt with those who were not loyal) and strict rules and consequences.
Neve Hall is in many ways a classic YA dystopian heroine. Confident and independent, she is fascinated by the animals which have long since left the Nation. The more she learns about the secrets that keep the Nation running smoothly, the angrier she gets and the more determined to fight for change. Young activists will relate to her sense of justice and willingness to put herself at risk for what she believes in.
Micah Ward is a Sufferer – a fascinating profession that involves him taking on the pain of others so they can go about their lives unhindered. As such, he is empathetic and caring. He is also required to follow a rigid code of conduct which, amongst other things, forbids him from entering into any romantic relationships.
The worldbuilding in North to Nara is fantastic, really setting the reader up for the rest of the series. The story is a bit of a rollercoaster as Neve and Micah face danger and challenges to their beliefs and loyalties. I couldn’t put it down – I had to stay up late to find out what happened! And I’ve got the sequel ready so I can get onto it asap.
For me, this is a five star book. Really enjoyable story, with a world that highlights flaws and risks in our own societies. Perfect for teens and young adults who are concerned about the environment and social issues.

The Slaughter of Leith HallThe Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a period piece of any kind but The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham , was especially good. Any mystery story is a good mystery but this one really had my mind in a tangle. It seems a little slow at first, and I wasn’t quite sure it was a mystery. Trust me what I perceived as a slow-moving story was the authors skillful craft of laying the foundation for everything that follows. Foundation is key, and it almost slipped my mind once I got into the story and believe me you get in deep. Many moving parts to this story and it was greatly entertaining. The most pleasant part was the many surprises. This is a tale that is well worth your time. I can’t think of enough good things to say about this one without sounding like I am gushing.

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul RemembersThe Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers by Stuart Ledwith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers is the first book I have read by Stuart Ledwith. The manner in which it is written is unlike anything I have ever read. At first I thought it was really weird and awkward, but eventually I got into the flow of it, and really enjoyed the book. It is written in a biography style, but described as Sarah’s soul communicating her voice and feelings to the author. It was written in the early 2000s, but the story takes place in the 1700s. Sarah and her brothers were Puritans kidnapped by Mohawk Indians as children. Her brothers were adopted into Mohawk families, but Sarah was not. She tells her story of her capture and the years following. It is quite the story, starting off first as a stolen child, turned slave. Then falling in love with her captor, and serving as healer to the same tribe that took her from her family. The narration is one of a kind, and very intriguing. I don’t know if its a true story, but it certainly seems like it could be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I really enjoyed the story at times I felt like they were talking about Something I couldn’t figure out (Maybe because this is book 7 and I haven’t read any of the others). Then as the story progressed I just let some of that stuff slide right by. That being said this is about two gritty characters who have been through hell and are not sure if they want to leave it behind since it offers comfort to them. I liked the two main characters equally. Each is strong and have come out the other side knowing their faults and yet becoming stronger. There are times that I really LOVED what Trey would say to K. Made my heart ache and fill with awe at the same time.

The secondary characters were wonderfully easy to like or hate respectively. Each had a place and they served it well. I want to give a shout out to Eight! He was probably my favorite.

Overall I loved the characters and the story. The story flowed well other than a few times and I could really feel what the characters were feeling. It’s a bit dark and I Ioved every second.

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love StoryThe Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story is a thought provoking story by Kate McGahan. It is my first read by this writer so I cannot say anything about how it compares to her other writing which might be good as I can look at it at its own rights.
It is hard to describe my experience of reading this story and it does not happen a lot. This story makes you think and feel and it also forces you to take a stand, as a human being … it might make some people feel very uncomfortable and it might also inspire some people to change their opinions … The writer is telling the story of the wall and the people whose lives it impacts through two main characters that are in some ways as far from each other as possible while during the telling their ‘telling’ gets tied together in a memorable way.
I have to admit though that I struggled a bit with Kate’s writing style and it took me a bit to get ‘into’ it and eventually I ‘disconnected’ my critical nerdy me and simply went with the story which is haunting … so haunting … I also acknowledge that I do not have any real life experience or interaction with deeply devote Mexican women so I decided to simply let the story to take me where the writer wanted me to be taken to …
I hope that young people will find their way to this book as it will teach them a lot … about injustice … about discrimination … about kindness … about hope … and the obligation that we all have as humans to take action when we are faced with injustice and discrimination!

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham was a great read! I loved how the setting of this story was in an older time period, it’s so rare to find books like that these days. Since it was in that timeline though, I found the novel to be a little confusing at first, simply because of all the characters and it took a while for them and the background of the story to build up. But overall, this was a very thrilling, enthralling read. This is the first novel I’ve read from this author before, and I was very impressed with it. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

Her Blackened Soul (The Blackened, #1)Her Blackened Soul by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will start with I absolutely loved this book’s cover. It had all the colors and the eye grabbing graphics to pull me in without even reading a word of the synopsis. Isra Sravenheart is a new author to me so I decided to go in blindly off the basis of the cover. While this book does have a great idea behind it, the villain is our main character and we see the good and bad sides of her so we can make an informed decision on whether to like her or not rather than just knowing she is a villain. I like the idea and the dark fantasy version of it as that is honestly some of the only times I enjoy reading fantasy. This book just unfortunately for me never really took off for me the way I had so hoped it would. I would be very interested in seeing the other novels in the series that are available though. Maybe as we go things get stronger in the pacing of the books? I enjoyed this enough to give it four stars but I do hope that the next few coming up has just a bit more oomph to the books. I want to be whisked away into the dark worlds the author is trying to portray and hope to be soon!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I must say this is one that should not be judged based off the cover and blurb alone. I was much more excited to get my hands on this novel when I saw the review coming in about the sweet and relevant love story that was in this book. I was not even one moment disappointed I dove in either Kate McGahan is a new author to me but was quick to pull me into her writing with great detail and the ability to transport me to the places we see in the story. I felt the emotions pouring off the pages of our characters and it was obvious this was a subject close to the heart of the author.

We meet these two very different people, Mexican and American, both very different backgrounds and both on opposite sides of a wall that stands for more than division. The book follows as they dive into a friendship and discover they are more alike than they ever thought. I was very impressed with the way this book played out and I am anxious to see what else is available from Kate McGahan soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I won’t lie, I get excited when I see there is a new Russian Mob Chronicles book from Shadi Boyes. When I found out we were getting Trey’s book it was even sweeter of a deal. I loved him and the tidbits we got in Nikolai’s story so I knew this was gonna be one I was going to adore. I was not for one moment disappointed! I would recommend that you read the other books in the series before diving into this one. You will understand the world a bit better for sure that Trey is a part of.

When Trey meets Kristinia he is immediately drawn to her and consumed really by her. Trey is known for his protective personality and would do anything to protect the ones he loves and now Kristina is apart of that category. She has had one hell of a past six years as she was trafficked in the sex-trafficking trade, something that is an extremely difficult topic to tackle anytime but especially in the world we are currently living. I love how Shandi Boyes doesn’t shy away from the dark sides of this life and keeps things raw and gritty the whole time. I would say if you don’t like or enjoy dark romance maybe keep that in mind before picking this one up. I can’t wait to see what comes next from Boyes!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me and so I really didn’t know what to expect when I sat down with The Abduction of Sarah Tarbell: As Her Soul Remembers. I figured this would be a book that was somewhat haunting and sad and that is what I got plus some. In this we follow Sarah Tarbell as she develops and deals with very difficult situations that most would never even be able to imagine let alone survive. I loved how this was told through her eyes and we saw the deepest and darkest thoughts as much as we saw the hope and fervor to survive and overcome. It was a great escape for a weekend afternoon read and I was impressed with the writing as much as the story line. I will definitely be around for more from Stuart Ledwith and look forward to seeing what else is available from him while I wait for more new.

The Divided TwinThe Divided Twin by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend that you go read A Divided Mind first. That is where you are introduced to the characters and it is definitely worth a read.
Okay…now…the emotional level of this book is set on high. I cried numerous times during this book and had to walk away a couple of times to compose myself and calm down before returning. This book, once again, focuses on mental illness and it just feels so real. I am going to try to review this book without giving anything away because, like the last book, it should be read with no spoilers and with an open mind.
Branson and Aaron are now in college. We are introduced to a third twin, David. David exists in the mind of one of the twins. When their mom gets sick, David starts to make himself more known and things get crazy.
There is a lot going on in this story…and I honestly don’t want to give anything away. If you’re like me, you will get sucked into this story and find yourself questioning what you thought was happening as the book goes on. It is a story that will stay with you long after you set the book down.

This is one of those books that pulls you in and doesn’t let you go. I have been thinking about this book for days since I finished reading it. This book feels raw and real and I enjoyed the way the author presented the story.
The book is told mostly from the POV of Branson and Tara. Branson is in high school and one day he blacks out at school. His mother, Tara, receives the phone call and that sets into motion a series of events where she comes to find out that her son has been hearing voices in his head. This book goes back and forth between Branson and Tara and they come to terms with what that means and how they move forward.
This is one of those books that it is good to go into it without any idea of what is going to happen or how it plays out. I don’t want to give anything away in this review because it is something that each reader should face with an open mind. It deals with topics that are relevant and real…and I enjoyed every word.

Trey: European Redemption by Shandi Boyes is the seventh book in the Russian Mob Chronicles. This book is a dark and twisted story but one that fully pulls you in. For me what made this book so good is the fact that the characters are so dark and flawed. Their world isn’t all light and roses and happily ever afters but that is exactly why their love story is so brilliant.
The author caught my attention straight away and I knew I had to see what journey these two were about to go on. I loved every second of it and found the book to be very exciting to read.
Shandi Boyes has become one of those authors that I know to expect a good story out of. Her writing style is so gripping I always enjoy what she produces. This book is fantastic and I can not recommend it highly enough.

This is a modern day fairy tale. A good hometown love story. Set in Texas, opposites attract these two young people together.

Of course, I already know the answer as I’ve read the book but I loved how it turned out for these two and the way it was written alone makes your heart swoon.

This is a beautiful story and I love how it all comes into harmony as these two come together. Casey is a wild one who is picked up off her feet by Sam who shows up to give her an unpredictable love. What I love is they’re drawn to one another and are easily in harmony until she receives a scare. Sam is getting away to find peace in life but is coming to Casey’s aid to help save her sister but it’s so much more to the story that I don’t want to give it away. I’m a sucker for love stories like this, though because it shows there are real men of integrity in this world that will stop at nothing but to protect love at righteousness at all costs. Pick up this romantic story and you won’t be disappointed.

I didn’t know what to expect when diving into this book. I’m normally really picky when it comes to historical novels but I COMPLETELY fell in love. You can’t help but fall in love with Sarah even though part of you is absolutely pained by the experiences she goes through. She teaches you that you can adapt and overcome any situation if you can put your mind to it. I also like reading about her husband, who in a way, saved her. This is one of those books that not only pulls you into a roller coaster ride of emotions but its one that will stick with you long after reading the last page. I cannot recommend this book enough!!!

I loved reading the book Falling for the Texan (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Book 2) by Nicole Flockton. It is a romance story that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. I loved the characters of Tyler Prentice and Gianna Lucchia. The chemistry and attraction between them are undeniable. Will they find a HEA? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Tyler and Gianna with every chapter that I read, and I couldn’t help but wish for them to find happiness. Gianna is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. She is very good at her job in advertising and is determined to make Tyler’s winery a success. Tyler has the same determination for the success of his winery. Along the way he finds himself falling for Gianna. I loved reading about these two and the way that they react to each other when together. Romance is in the air. I also loved that the characters that were introduced in the first book are brought forward to this one. It is wonderful that family ties play a part in this story. Some moments made me smile or laugh as well as ones that touched my heart. This is one story that should be at the top of your TBR list. I highly recommend it.

The beautiful UK has had an amazing impact on my writing, especially since the Blood of Kaos Series starts in Wales. How exciting it is to experience a real castle – whether it be a ruin or not. And the historical architecture is astounding. It changes your whole perspective, as well as raising a lot of questions.

This was a moving and emotional story. Definately one you need your tissues for. It is set in a time that we can’t even imagine living in so even though some of their views and traditions seems strange to us it is believable that at that time they were normal.

This is the story of Sarah Tarbell and about how the abduction of her and her brothers by Mohawks. If follows Sarah as she deals with her life and the changes that she needs to make and learn to fit in with these people.

The characters are well written and the scenes so descriptive you can actually imagine being there and going through these experiences as they happen.

Trey: European Redemption (Russian Mob Chronicles Book 7) by Shandi Boyes

This is part of the Russian Mob Chronicles, but can be read as a stand alone. This is my first read by the author, but it will not be my last. Mrs. Boyes knows how to write a darn good book.

Trey, a Russian Mob member, soon learns that the past doesn’t always stay where it should. He learns that his life is going to change, but not much. The quote I choose for Trey is: “What aren’t you telling me, Dok?”

Kristina, K or Duchess, as Trey calls her. She’s held captive by someone who wants to draw Trey out. Little does she know Trey is going to change everything she’s ever known. She is sucked away from her life, but is brought back. The quote I choose for K is: “Yes, I recognize him.”

This is a book I highly recommend. It’s for anyone who loves a good story involving mobs and love. This will not be the last book I read by this author.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I’ve got to say it’s a fantastic read. Kate knows how to get attention and hold onto it.

Sarah comes from New York to start something new. Things are great and things are looking up. This follows her as well as three other characters on their journey. The quote I choose for Sarah is: “What am I doing here with him in my bed? This man I hardly know?”

Benito is from Mexico and now lives in Arizona. He meets Sarah and things are great. A friend calls upon him when she is in need of help. The quote I choose for Benito is: “My mother keeps warm by putting something across her lap.”

This is a fantastic read and I do highly recommend it. Kate draws a reader in with the wonderful story and doesn’t want to let them go.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story is primarily a story of love interwoven around the harsh, yet picturesque environment of the borderlands that divide the United States and Mexico.
This is quite a multi-faceted and detailed story outlining all the divides between the borders. Full of heartache, danger, fear, politics, injustice, discrimination, faith, love, compassion, emotion, and hope. This story shines a light on the all too real situation that occurs daily. The struggle and hardships faced by people trying to cross the divide- is a small snapshot of a much larger issue. Encompassing social justice, human trafficking, history, politics, family, love, and much more.
There is a lot going on in a small space, and at times it did get a little confusing- which had me re-reading more than a few paragraphs to try to make sense of it all. I kept feeling like I was missing something- that little something that could prove to be vital to the bigger picture, and thus, to my perspective of it all. But I never did discover what was missing.
With flashback that help build the backstory, the story takes place on multiple timelines and locations- but ultimately all the layers, threads, and characters do connect. The story is definitely thought provoking and emotive- and left me wondering for quite a while after I had finished.
Based on a true story.

Thank you, Kate McGahan!

Love Song (A friends-to-lovers rock and roll romantic suspense)Love Song by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Rock and roll romance – check
Amazing characters – absolutely
Fantastic 5 star read – definitely!!

I loved this book so much, I did hesitate to pick this book up when I saw the author – I love her books and that together with a bit of rock and roll what’s not to love and I was absolutely right! I couldn’t put the book down from the moment that I picked it up. The author really tried hard with the characters especially Casey – I’m not sure if I liked her or not she wasn’t very connectable however it was kind of perfect for her – I think the author actually got her spot on. There were some fantastic twists and turns that absolutely kept me engaged the whole way through – I think this could possibly be my favourite book by this author so far! I really loved Sam – both characters dealing with things but he was just so amazing – I did feel a genuine connection between the two characters in all honesty – it did come across well in my opinion.
I 100% recommend this wonderful 5 star read!!
