This is a new author for me, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more from this series and author in the future. This is a historical mystery-murder story that kept me engaged. I enjoyed the characters as I had no problem connecting to them as they made the story come alive. I also enjoyed how the characters were supportive of each other which made it easy to read. This is a story that took me back to this time in history and made me feel as if I was there. This is a story about Charlie. He finds himself far away from home and Leith has taken him under his wing and changed his life. He also finds himself in the middle of a murder-mystery case in which he is determined to find justice. This is a little different story for me than what I normally read but I enjoyed it. I had no problems turning page after page wondering what would happen next. I am happy I picked up this book and I highly recommend reading it.

5 Star The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by M. Billiter with Kyle Thomas
The Divided Twin is the second Book in The Divided Series by M.Billiter with Kyle Thomas . Wow I’m almost speechless but what a story .I literally locked myself in a room and warned my family not to bother me. Once I started reading there was no putting it down till I finished. I definitely highly recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already. There were times my emotions were all over the place and I was almost ugly crying and my heart hurt. This story we have Aaron and Branson they are identical twins but there’s also a third twin named David who lives in the mind of one of the others mind. But once mom gets sick David starts to come out more. Find out what happens when he does come out? I again highly recommend this book ,get ready for a on the edge of your seat rollercoaster ride that will have you trying to figure out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I will preface this by saying if you havent read book 1, stop and get it and read it first. I knew going into this book I was in for quite an emotional roller coaster as well as getting an engaging read. This had it all and then some. I really didn’t know what would happen next and that made me want to keep reading. My emotions were everywhere reading this, just so much emotions on the page and that takes talent. I recommend reading this as its really in a league of its own.

Boy on hold is the first book I’ve read by JD Spero. This is a beautifully written story about a boy in trouble. This story made me realize how many talented authors there are that I haven’t even discovered yet. I cannot wait to see what JD Spero comes up with next, I’m ready. I couldn’t put this book down. I loved every character and how the author made them come to life. If you want a serious but written with a light heart book- this is the one for you, absolutely recommend.

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by M. Billiter with Kyle Thomas was a deep and emotional read. I felt connected with the characters. The twins and David stood out as their own people. I felt super emotional and worn out after finishing the book. I found the twists and turns well laid out. A really good read.

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by M.Billiter with Kyle Thomas 4 Stars
Aaron and Branson are identical twins who survived a rough childhood. In their teens, Trevor (the voice in Branson’s head) emerged and wrecked havoc in their lives. Now as adults in their last year of college, it seems it is happening to Aaron. Aaron is struggling with pressures from school, work and volunteer time. With the realization that he might lose his mother to cancer, David (the voice in his head) has taken the reins. After everything that has happened with Trevor, can the twins survive David?
I remember reading book one and it blew me away so I knew that this one would be excellent as well. Both twins have schizoaffective disorder. Each book is written from a different perspective of the illness. In this story Aaron believes that he has everything under control therefore he doesn’t need help. After seeing what Branson went through with the psychiatrists and the hospital, Aaron definitely doesn’t want a repeat of that for himself.
This is an intense read that shows the ripple effect that this illness has on family and friends. The ending just about broke my heart. My only issue with this book is the constantly changing p.o.v’s. Many times I had to reread passages to figure out who was talking. Aside from that, I loved the book.

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Anna Hirsch
The story starts on ‘cabbage night’, a night known for mischief and pranks. When seven-year-old Hen Trout leaves his home in the middle of the night he only has one thing on his mind…hedgehogs! But, the night takes a shocking turn for Hen when he witnesses part of a brutal attack on his beloved neighbour, Miss Sally. This night is the start of a tremulous time for the Trout family. Family bonds are pushed to the limit as Hens older brother and role model is arrested. Marcella Trout doesn’t know what to think. Her seventeen-year-old son has been arrested and she can’t help but worry that his recent mood swings may have deeper roots than first thought, she had tried to keep secrets hidden but the past could be about to come back to haunt her. Boy on Hold is described as “suitable for teens, intriguing for adults” and this is an accurate description. I loved Hen and his relationship with his brother Tyler. A story that starts as a thriller and a mystery soon becomes much more than than and delves into the complicated world of teenage mental health and a family fighting to stay together.

The Divided Twin by Mary Billiter is the second book in the Divided Series. This is the follow up book to The Divided Mind and personally I think these need to be read in order. I am so glad to see a follow up to book one. It was great to be able to get back into these characters and their minds. I thought this book was even better than the first one. I was hooked immediately and found myself unable to put the book down. I read it all in one sitting and was thinking about it long after I had finished. I love the way the whole book was written and how the characters are developed. I found it to be such an interesting read! I would definitely recommend this series to anyone.

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Kerry Baker
Rowena Holloway does an amazing job keeping the mystery going throughout the series. These stories have a dark thriller with suspense, secrets, truth, twists, and turns. Holloway makes sure that you have all the information you need to understand the story fully. There are times when I just wanted to close my eyes and get lost into my “happy world” because I was fearful for what was coming. Then BAM!!!! A twisty turn comes and makes me reread what I had just read because I missed the turn to her twist. I would allow time to read this book in one sitting as it moves at a good pace, and for me at least, I wanted to finish to see how everything came together. In this series, we have met Charlotte. She is a journalist who finds herself involved with a mystery. Her character grows with each story. You watch her and feel for her because you want her to put all the puzzles together about the Hall. You will want to read these stories all together. I highly recommend these books. Make sure while reading these books you are ready to read them all together. You will not be able to put them down once you start reading them.

The Divided Twin is the second book in The Divided seriesby M. Billiter and Kyle Thomas. I really recommend reading the first book in the series before this one, as we reunite with identical twins, Aaron & Branson Kovak whom we met in book one. I found this story a little more difficult to settle into than book one. There is a lot of swapping back and forth between characters that got a little confusing at times. But I guess that it added to the atmosphere of the book while also emphasizing the struggle with schizophrenia that occurs through the story. The mental illness is captured so realistically- textured with some darkness, heartbreak, and emotion. Thought provoking for sure!

Billiter with Kyle Thomas – Review by Angela Hayes
This is one crazy story! It took me on a ride with some high highs and low lows. I was shocked and surprised more than once. In here we continue following the twins as they are almost done with college. The last book left me confused and this one took some of that away. I wasn’t a fan of the misdirection throughout because later in the book things change…which made me doubt what I had previously read. So cryptic yes..but I don’t want to give anything away. These characters are very well done and had me feeling for them and hoping they do well.
Anyway by the end I forgave the author and just sat dumbfounded and saddened. Mental health is no joke. This shows the stigma attached to certain monikers. Listening to those kids in the Depression group is enlightening. Even What the twins have gone through and how people act toward them. Over this is a good read. I would recommend reading book 1 first. It will help with understanding some aspects of this one.

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by M. Billiter with Kyle Thomas
5 Stars
This author crept up on me in the first book of this series and literally blew me away. This story was no different and with the addition of her son’s input and the what if factor finished me off. What an emotional read! There were a couple spots where I found I had to put the book down because I couldn’t see through the tears. After reading the first, which by the way still brings back all the emotions as if I was still reading it, I had a feeling there was more coming, the minute I could physically have this book on my kindle I did.
You have to be able to focus while reading. Any distractions could leave you feeling confused, so if there’s any warning from me, that would be it. There are some tough parts that were a bit hard to get through but life with this kind of condition can’t be all sunshine and roses unfortunately.
I’m not even going to try to sum up anything storyline wise, You have to read this, but I do highly recommend reading the first book and not just the stories in each but cover to cover.
This was a Phenomenal story that will no doubt stay with me for a long long time. I will absolutely read both of these again maybe more than once.
Feels weird to say I loved it, or I enjoyed it, but it doesn’t feel weird to say I literally could not put it down and hated when it ended…

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2) by Mary Billiter and Kyle Thomas is a compelling and dark story that may cause triggers as it deals with mental health issues, abuse and suicide. The story has many, many emotions, it is frustrating, heartfelt and heart breaking. I found it hard at times having had a mental health problem myself. Mary gives us realistic look at a mental disorder and an insight into the mind of someone who has schizophrenia and how it affects themselves and those around them. I had trouble settling into the story as the back and forth between characters was a little confusing at times, but this could be because I was a little unsettled reading it. It is a fictional story but written from experience and input from Kyle who has first-hand knowledge.

Confidentiality (Scope of Practice Book 2) By Jessica Aiken-Hall 5 out of 5 stars
The story Confidentiality (Scope of Practice Book 2) by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a crime/thriller book. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. It is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The story finds Valerie Williamson’s life going very well. She has a wedding to plan for, wonderful friends, and a handsome fiancé. Will all of that be upset with the news of a serial killer in Lawerenceville? Tim, her fiancé, is busy trying to find the one responsible for the murders. Valerie wonders if the connection between the murders is more than a coincidence. Will Valerie discover who the serial killer is? Read this book to find out. This story had me turning pages. I love the comradery between Valerie and the additional characters in the story. I also loved reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between Valerie and Tim. They make a wonderful couple and I couldn’t help but want them to be happy. This is the second book in a series and to fully understand this story they should be read in order. This book does have characters dealing with sensitive subjects. The story also has some twists that I did not see coming. Don’t miss out on a book that will have you reading far into the night to finish. I would highly recommend reading it.

Foxxy has never had a perfect life until one fateful night. With Robin Hood as her partner, Foxxy is an equalizer who is out for blood after being assaulted by her pimp, Eddie. Trying to save money to move away and start fresh, Foxxy is out to settle the score after all the horrors her ex-pimp put her through. At a ballroom party, a stranger catches her eye but connects them both in one another’s lives. Robin couldn’t let her go as she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was the one for him. Foxxy is out to get revenge for every woman Eddie has ever tortured with the help of Robin. As she steps into who she’s out to be as an equalizer, Foxxy realizes that this is who she’s supposed to be. This book took me by surprise at how good it was but also multilayered. There’s a great sense of action from characters out to seek vengeance even in a completely fictional way.

Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) By Camilla Blythe 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Calamity under the Chandelier (A Sleuthing Starlet Mystery Book 1) by Camilla Blythe. It is a mystery novel that hooked me in from the beginning. I loved reading about the character of Cora Clarke. She follows her best friend and fellow actress to England and ends up in the middle of a mystery. When someone is killed and her friend becomes a suspect, Cora becomes determined to find out who the murderer is. Read this book to find out the full story and if Cora is successful in her search. This is a book that had me guessing all the way through. There are twists that I didn’t see coming. I found myself turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. The tension is high, and the suspicions run deep. The body count rises. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that will have you reading far into the night. I would highly recommend reading this book.

The Divided Twin (The Divided Series Book 2). I highly recommend reading these in order to start off. Now for my view on this book, I really appreciate the way this author tells a story. The entire story draws you in and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. The characters are complex and well written. From beginning to end I was completely hooked. I’ve seen this book be described as raw and I think that’s a great way of thinking about it. It’s a bit of a difficult subject but you can feel the authors emotions behind each page. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It may have some triggers for some but I truly appreciate the words written. Four stars and highly recommended!

This is the second book in this series, I loved it just as much as the first. I highly suggest that you read book one before to help you get more information on where the characters have been and who they are. I loved being pulled into this book right from the beginning. It is engaging and the twists and turns kept me turning pages right to the end. It had me guessing on who did it right along with the characters. Valarie just wants to have a normal life. Her past still haunts her. What will happen when a serial killer pops up? There are coincidences linking the murders but could it be more than just a coincidence? Will they figure out who the serial killer is before they strike again? Valarie has been one of my favorite characters. She is so strong but yet has been through so much. I loved watching her grow throughout this story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This book is amazing all around, the characters, imagery, and the plot just add to all the twist and turns, creating an incredible book!

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar is a mystery suspense story. It is a fast paced tale with danger and drama and whilst I enjoyed the story it felt a little lacking in some places. I was a little confused to start with but I was able to settle into the characters better once learning their back stories. This is an interesting story and Jacquie threw a few spanners into the works to keep us guessing.
Julie, a reporter, is like a dog with a bone when she gets going on a story and will not walk away even if it means putting herself in a killer’s line of sight. At times it becomes all too personal.
Detective Matthew Roy and his partner are on the chase to catch a serial rapist and unfortunately the horrific past has risen again to torment him.
Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson Abbott is an attention catching read. It is the first book in the Equalizer series, and is certainly a great start! This book really keeps you reading, on the edge of your seat waiting for more. Foxxy’s character is very relatable, and I enjoyed reading her story. I look forward to reading more from Abbott in the future!

The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson R. Abbott Four Stars
The Equalizer: Foxxxy’s Tipping Point is the first book in Foxxy: The Equalizer Series by Allyson R. Abbott. This is a fast paced book that grabbed my attention from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Foxxy has had a rough life, when she meets a stranger who offers to make her life easier. The only problem is can she dig deep enough to bring herself to trust Peter? This story flowed and the character growth is great. There are some ups and downs in this book, but the whole thing is well written and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Abbott – Review by Sunday Barnaby
The Equalizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point (Foxxy: The Equalizer #1)is an intriguing and suspenseful romance by Allyson R. Abbott. This story is a little different from the other books of Ms. Abbott’s that I have read- but still with the wonderful character development and emotive quality that I associate with Ms. Abbott. I really felt for Foxxy- she hasn’t had an easy life, and her trust and confidence has taken quite a battering. I admire her inner strength and the fire inside her that couldn’t be extinguished. We meet her at the beginning of the story, an escort who is broken and bleeding after being beaten and raped by her horrible pimp Eddie and his ‘gang’. I hated that man with a vengeance, and so did Foxxy- and she vows to find a way to break away from his hold and make him pay for what he’d done. Things take an interesting turn when Foxxy meets the magnetic gaze of a handsome stranger across a crowded room. There is something mysterious about him, but also an undeniable connection. Fate is at play here. And what happens next made for a really great read. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Abbott does next!

The Divided Twin a four-star read that will keep you thrilled. This is number two in the Divided series and they could be read as stand-alone if needed but honestly I would advise you read them in order as they are all the same family and you get the depth then. I really, really loved this story and I only knocked it down as I got so confused when reading the POV of the brothers, it was just a little much for me as I kept getting mixed up, but that was me it could be covid brain as I seem to have so much on it, I lose my place easily. So, don’t let that put you off if you can usually keep up give it a go. What I will say is wow this author has done the mental health aspect so well, I loved that about this series, I normally get so angry as people don’t deal well they either gloss over, or just demonise people with major mental health issues, it was an emotional reward reading about these characters and finally getting to know the other side of what happens, I loved that.

The Ashes to Ashes box set is contains 3 fantastic stories by Rowena Holloway! It is a series that will definitely have you wanting more! The storyline is gripping and the fast paced reads had me turning the pages faster and faster so that I could find out what was going to happen next! The 3 books in this box set are Bad Things Happen, Less You Know and From the Ashes. This box set is a definite must read!!
Bad Things Happen – Book 1 Bad Things Happen was such a gripping read and one that I really found difficult to put down, this is also the first book that I have read by this author. I was really taken with her writing style, she kept the book exciting and gripping the whole way through and she definitely threw in some great twists and turns too. The characters were complex and had a great depth to them. The storyline was well thought out and had a great pace to it. I loved the way the author chose to write the story and it was not confusing at all, it made the story interesting and unique to read.
Less You Know – Book 2 Wow! The second book in this series and I loved it just as much as, if not more then, the first one! The story was an exciting, gripping read that I had a really hard time putting down. The twists and turns in the story are probably amongst some of the best I have ever read; just when I thought I knew what was going to happen there was another twist. The author absolutely kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat with this read. The ending was brilliant! I loved that I couldn’t even begin to guess what was going to happen in the story, I felt like I was trying to solve it alongside reading it. The dual point of view meant I got information from different characters as I was trying to piece together just what had happened!
From the Ashes – Book 3 From the Ashes is the third and final book in the Ashes to Ashes series and was an amazing read! The action begins right from the get go and it definitely doesn’t stop until the very end. I would absolutely recommend reading this series in order to fully appreciate it. I love this authors writing, she is able to drag me into her stories straight away – she has a thrilling writing style that keeps my interest throughout. I have to say, I think this book may be my favourite from the series, I loved the first two but Ms Holloway definitely took this thrilling read to the next level. There were some great twists and turns in the story and I loved that I was kept guessing from beginning to end. I have loved reading about Charlotte in this series, she is a fantastic character! This really has been a wonderful series and one that I highly recommend reading! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

The Equlizer: Foxxy’s Tipping Point by Allyson Abbott is a story all about one woman set of revenge. Nothing about Foxxy’s life has been straight forward so when she decides on revenge it gives her such a purpose. This book was well written and certainly catches your attention. It was a fairly quick but interesting read. You find yourself wanting Foxxy to achieve her mission. You are drawn to her and everything she is going through. Will she ever be able to get her own happy ending?? I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend reading it.

Abbott – Review by Kerry Baker
When a dark stranger enters your world and answers all your hopes and dreams, is it just too good too be true?
Foxxy is an escort who has not had a great beginning in life, but when her pimp arranges a hideous act to happen to her she becomes angry and bitter. One night while working she meets Richard who seems like the one person she can trust to get her out of the world in which she finds herself.
Richard believes this woman is the one for him but can he convince her to trust him, things have happened to Foxxy for her to be weary to trust any man but when her roommate is murdered and she believes it is her pimp Eddie has had a hand in it, he will do anything to bring justice.
I enjoyed this story greatly, Foxxy is a character that although she has been through bad things she is still strong, intelligent and brave women. The story weaves through the mystery of her roommate being killed and follows the lines of enquiry as you feel you are with the main characters trying to piece together the motive and answers.The story is fast paced and well constructed and written, this is not the first story I have read by this author and definitely won’t be the last.
