Whatever Tomorrow Brings (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 2) by Amy Argent – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Whatever Tomorrow Brings (Embrace Tomorrow #2)Whatever Tomorrow Brings by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an ending to a great duet. The first absolutely MUST be read before reading this book. This novel deals with cancer and the struggle to live in spite of all the pain and medical procedures one must endure during treatment so some of the material may be sensitive to some readers. I love Will and Tori’s journey yet I thought it felt a bit unrealistic. Being a nurse myself I have seen these things go down in real life. I felt the author could have done a bit more research into Lymphoma and the treatment of it as well as the real patient experience prior to writing this duet. (Which is why I only gave this 4 stars) That said the story line is fast paced, emotional and leaves you truly caring about all the characters even the supporting characters. Definitely worth the read!

Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals Book 1) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals #1)Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hogwarts, Narnia, Forks, Alicante?? The City of Angels takes on the mysterious bent given to magical places! A supernatural coming of age book that is a mystical mix of everything we love about other supernatural novels. Alena, an almost 18 year old, vampire witch hybrid is rebellious, determined and a cool character. Although I believe there is way more to her than meets the eye. She is the perfect heroine for this series. Blending modern day teenage angst with ancient mythology like rules, author Tricia Copeland once again brings us such clear imagery it is as if we are there watching it happen instead of reading it.
I love fantasy type stories and this one is a great start to what is bound to be an amazing series. One of those series that has readers saying “I wish they would turn this into a 9 hour long movie not missing any details so I could watch this again and again.”
Bravo to the author!! Bravo!!

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 1) by Amy Argent – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Come Back Tomorrow (Embrace Tomorrow, #1)Come Back Tomorrow by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emotional, impactful, poignant, impassioned! Author Amy Argent has managed to write a novel so full of feeling, spirit and intensity that it was literally impossible to put down. You will laugh, cry and scream and you will close the final page and sit in stunned disbelief that the end has come. The first thought I was able to think after reading this book was where is book two?
Will and Tori’s relationship is full of pain, some anger, some anticipation, a lot of hope, a little faith and a great big healing dose of healing love. When Tori falls apart (being a professional in the medical field I have been in her shoes although admittedly not having deeper feelings for a patient) I literally fell apart too. I cried with her and felt a crack form in my heart for her. Sometimes even as a professional we can get so emotionally tied that’s patient’s plight sometimes feels like our own. In Tori’s case it affects her far deeper than that of a patient because she developed feelings for Will.
Will’s struggle brought me back to my own struggles and his desire to give in and let himself stop fighting is so reminiscent of so many people I have worked with. A DNR is a hard thing for any person to accept, but for those of us who are doing our best to save lives it is that much harder to accept.
The characters are so relatable, the words so full of elaborate details that you feel each sentence of this book!! I cannot wait for the next book and to find out if Will and Tori will get an HEA!

Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is definitely an October must read! To say that this story is beautifully written is an understatement. Words do not justify how hauntingly lovely this story is. I say haunting because the words and details of this tale will invade your thoughts and dreams long after you have closed the cover.
The depth of every faucet of this novella will bring rich, sharp imagery to your mind.
Mercy is such a well developed character you will by the end feel as if she was your friend. You will grieve with her, hope with her and cheer her on.
I officially have Weep Woman Weep on my re-read list before the month is up and plan to treasure it again every October!
