I’m safe.
And so is my family, all because of the sacrifice Stone made to save us. I don’t know what has happened to Stone or Walker, but I believe in my heart that Stone will do everything he can to make sure Walker never comes near us again. I know he’s out there, and I can not allow myself to think otherwise. He will come back to me, to us.
So until that happens, and knowing that, I need to work to make my family, and myself whole again. Life can bring unexpected joys and sorrows, and it’s up to me to begin the healing process for us all. I need to be strong and that’s what I plan to do. I’m no longer a victim because Stone showed me that I was so much more.
Life is worth living.
My name is Quinn, and as I awaken from my dark past, and violent present, I will start to live.
The future has never been so bright.

This is a very hard listening and so emotional. I adore Quinn she’s a survivors and with the information from Stone she is seeking revenge.

 

Why has she got this attraction to Stone its get harder to avoid as time goes on. I can’t wait to listen the last book in this trilogy.

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I did the first. I found this book more emotionally in depth even though the subject material itself was still tough at times.The story was well thought out and I enjoyed the pacing of the story. It was interesting to get to know the secondary characters more in this story and I also found myself warming to Quinn, the main female protagonist too. It was interesting to go along her journey with her as she figured out how to get closure for what has happened to her in the past. I actually found the love story aspect of the story more likable in this next part of the trilogy and am looking forward to the final part.

Vengeance is so, so sweet.
This is the second book of The Journals Trilogy. And it definitely lived up to my expectations.

Nya Simpson does an AMAZING job with the narration .

Quinn is getting ready to meet up with her sisters and her twins. Stone has his team in place who are ready to finish this and keep Quinn and her family save. Quinn’s sister reveals a huge secret that she’s been keeping. Will this reveal why Raven stayed in contact with the man who destroyed their families lives? Will this tear the sisters apart or help them stick together?
This again is not for the faint hearted. But if you can stomach a bit of torturing the bad guys this is a must read.
I love that the book has no cliffhangers. But now its got me excited about the next book.
What does D.M. Earl have in store for us in the next installment!

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL was a great continuation of Quinn’s story. I did not think I could go through so many emotions. I felt like I was developing and growing with Quinn. I originally was angry, vengeful, and full of hate but being in her head helped me process through what happened to her. I did not want to stop and cannot wait for the next part.

ANGUISH (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK ONE) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL was such an emotional listen. I was warned but was not ready for how deep it would hurt to listen to all that Quinn went through. The story was well organized and I could feel the emotions in every chapter. I felt like the pacing and dialogue moved the story along well and I did not feel lost. I could easily have finished it one day if the subject matter did not make me have to take a break. I got super invested and found myself reacting as Ivy did in the book.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel going into the second book of the series but the author continued to move me beyond what I was prepared for. And the narration took the emotion to another level. Just an excellent overwhelming book that really moved me. Wow.

Vengeance (The Journals Trilogy, #2)Vengeance by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is the continuation of the first book Anguish which I had not read but although I did get the gist of the first book to then find this book as the Vengeance and revenge that Quinn wants to inflicted as mush torture on her tormentors but will she be able unleash the violence or will she fall at the last hurdle.

Stone and his gang is fully behind Quinn and will do anything for her, with the instant attraction he has too her can he fulfil what she wants to happened or will it break them apart. Quinn tries to hide the attraction to Stone as she at times blames in him in part for that fateful day.

I loved this story and although I followed the book I think it would be better to listen to the first book to get a greater understand of the actions behind Quinn and Stone. I loved the feel of getting wrapped into the story and feel with eat word spoken you are in the story living the action and evoke real emotion with each word listened to.

I will definitely download the first book and get the next book in this instalment and see how these two broken people end up and will they have their happy ever after.

Vengeance Audio Book by D.M. Earl is the second book in the Journals Trilogy. This is a series that does need to be read/listened  to in order as it is a continuation of the story. I was really looking forward to getting back into this story, I just had to know how it was going to turn out. I was intrigued to find out if Quinn would be able to go through with any of her ideas. I loved that we got to know all the crew a bit more, they added a little extra something to the story. At times I did find it just a little confusing when it switched POV’s suddenly however the narrator did a great job of portraying the change. I listened to this whole book in what felt like no time at all and, with the way it ended, I am very intrigued as to what is going to come next!

This book was very emotional and contains quite a hard hitting story line. I found the female protagonist a strong character despite what she had been through and although I didn’t love this book I am intrigued to know if she does get the revenge she seeks. I enjoyed how fast paced the story was and found this helped keep me focused on the plot and stopped my mind from wavering.
My reasons for not liking this were mainly that as the plot was so hard hitting and emotional I found the racy, sexual parts out of place with the general plot. I also found that the sexual encounters were overly descriptive but that’s my personal taste. I struggled with the narration as I found the narration strangely robotic but again that is my personal taste.

This is the second audio I have listened to in this series.  I highly suggest listening to the first book to help you enjoy this series.  I was pulled into the story by this narrator’s voice and enjoyed being engaged to the end.  It was easy to listen to and made me want to keep listening.  The voice is easy and fun and truly adds to the story.  This is a story full of action and revenge.  What happens next with this MC you don’t want to miss.  She only has a small amount of time to get her revenge, will fate allow her vengeance?  I highly recommend this audio, I loved it and so will you.

Vengeance by D.M. Earl

Narrated by Nya Simpson 

Five Stars

 

Vengeance is the second book in The Journals Trilogy by D.M. Earl. This series needs to be read/ listened to in order. You will be lost if you haven’t read/listened to  Anguish first.  It was a roller coaster of a ride from the very beginning and it never stopped. This book starts where the first book leaves off. Quinn is an amazingly strong woman who has been through unthinkable things. Stone and his crew have come to help settle the score. There are some explicit scenes in this book that could be triggers.  I listened to this book in one sitting because I just had to know how it ends. I’m now very intrigued to see what happens in book three. Can’t wait!!

 

This book was narrated by Nya Simpson, the same narrator as Anguish. Her voice was mellow and easy to listen to. She really brought the characters to life. I look forward to listening to many more books by her.

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
Four Stars

Daisy’s Darkness is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series by D.M. Earl. This is the first book I have read in this series, so it can be read as a standalone, but I think I will go back and read the rest of this series. This book tackled some serious current issues going on today. I think the author did a really good job bringing bullying, eating disorders, mental and physical abuse, depression, cutting and suicide. It was a read that had me reaching for the tissue box from beginning to end. The emotional roller coaster was hard to handle, but the subjects need to be discussed out in the open to those who are lost in the darkness. I would definitely recommend this book, it brings today’s issues to light. It may help both those going through these issues, but it may also show those close to someone what to look for in the darkness.

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you are at the lowest part of your life, can you recover or will the darkness take you away.

Daisy is a girl who’s not really a cool or popular kid but has a cool group of friends who they can talk openly to each other and give each other the support they require to navigate High School, until Daisy finds herself swallowed up the darkness of her own world and feels that there is no-one who can help her.

Her life gets even worst when her brother starts dating one of her tormentors and thus cutting her off from her family completely. All Griffin can see that there is something not quite right with Daisy but can his friendship with her help her come to terms with the vicious circle which has become her life.

This story broke my heart, the subject matter may be difficult to read but it was written with dignity and a true understanding of the troubles that this character portraited. The sheer hopelessness that this character felt towards the end not being able to even confide within the family dynamic and have to hold everything in was gut wrenching to read. I hope if young girls read this story and are going through the same things have comfort and the strength to ask for help and be like Daisy in the end when she get helps from her loving family and friends.

The story was well written and the characters where brilliantly written. This is the first book I have read in this series and I believe this can be read as a stand alone story but I have downloaded the other books in this series to read as I really enjoyed this story and wanted to read more about these wonderful characters.

This book is one of the most realistic depictions of teenage inner dialogue and trauma that I’ve ever seen in a work of fiction. While it is not for the faint of heart, as it contains sensitive subject matter, it is also a beautiful story that shows the true power of a strong support system. If you’re ready to recall your own memories of high school while following Daisy’s journey from the darkness to the light, pick up a copy and get started!

Daisy’s Darkness By D.M Earl is book #6 in the Wheels and Hogs Series. It pulled me in the very first page and man my heart hurt! This one touched on the more sensitive topics and I absolutely related to it because I have struggled with anxiety and depression for a few years now. I loved that the author wasn’t afraid to touch these subjects and brought more awareness to them. This was mostly written in Daisy’s POV but a few others were thrown in too. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a heartfelt read that pulls on your Heartstrings!
Happy reading!

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story packs a huge punch and is full of real-world problems that people deal with every day. The author does it in such way, though, which is respectful and really addresses the issues. You get multiple sides of a story and how it affects them…which I found to be very interesting. The topics discussed in this story include bullying, mental and physical abuse, eating disorders, cutting, suicide, and death.

Daisy is a self-proclaimed nerd that is not cool and has few friends. The friends that she does have, they are a tight knit group. She even has a close family that has her back. However, she is being bullied and tormented at school. She tries to deal with it on her own, without involving those around her. This only leads to her isolating and alienating herself from her support group. She turns to very unhealthy ways to cope with her feelings. As her secrets start coming to light, Daisy is dealt more blows as friends of hers (who are also being tormented by the same group) end up in the hospital after their own ways of dealing with the pain. Will Daisy be able to recover and find herself again? Or is this dark cloud hanging over her going to be too much to bear?

I found the supporting characters in this story to be great for the storyline. I have not read the other books in the series, but I don’t feel like not reading their stories impacted my understanding of this story. To see a group of people rally around one of their own and support them and not judge them made for a good story. I sat down to read this story and finished in one sitting. I was invested in the story and needed to know what would happen.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had my emotions all over the place.
We follow Daisy through her nightmare of high school issues. We get a glimpse into several things that can affect a teenager on so many levels causing emotional scars.

Daisy’s story really makes you think about things and what kids go through. Daisy had a group of friends that were not popular kids. When her brother starts dating one of the girls that is one of the bullies she deals with it makes things uncomfortable. She starts to close in on herself.

Will her family be able to help her?

Overall this was a great read. All of the characters added a great element to the story. There are some things in the story that could cause triggers for some. If you’re looking for a great read that really makes you think about things and makes you reevaluate your own actions this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl is the 6th book in the Wheels & Hogs series. To be honest, this was the first book by this author that I’ve read. I could tell there was more information to be learned about characters that showed up in this book. However, that didn’t take away from how quickly I was sucked into this story. The beginning is all about how Daisy is seeing things because we are basically reading out of her diary. Many very stressful situations and emotions are making Daisy withdrawal from life. She doesn’t know how to make things better as it is hard to do it alone. But her mental stress is making her not trust her family, immediate and extended family. I even cried at a few points in the book. You can really feel how Daisy is feeling and you want to help her so bad. I hope that this book reaches many who can learn something from it.

Daisy’s Darkness By D.M Earl is book #6 in the Wheels and Hogs Series. This Story pulled at my heart strings from the very start. I have two daughters who have struggled with anxiety and depression so this book really hit home for me.
It brings valuable awareness to topics which are often felt to be difficult to discuss…Eating Disorders, Bullying and cutting which effect many world wide. I applaud the Author for presenting these topics in a meaningful and heartfelt way.
It is mostly written from Daisys point of view with some parts from characters such as Jagger, Daisys big brother and Griffin a friend who may just end up being more some day and many more important people in Daisys life.
This is a must read

Daisy’s Darkness is the sixth book in the Wheels and Hogs series by D. M. Earl. I am yet to read the other books in the series, but this can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

This book is an emotional rollercoaster. My heart broke for Daisy, you will definitely need a box of tissues next to you when reading this. This story covers many topics that could be triggering for some people, so I would recommend thoroughly reading the book description before diving in.

The story is beautifully written. For most of it the book is written from Daisy’s perspective, but the author also gives you glimpses from other characters which I think helped to balance the story.
I’m looking forward to going back and reading the previous books in the series.

Daisy's Darkness (Wheels & Hogs #6)Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book contains graphic descriptions of experiences which could be emotional triggers, read with caution.

Daisy in a teenager with a loving family and a circle of friends she is close to, but she is also being bullied by a group of girls and it is made even worse when her older brother starts to date on of them over the summer holidays, when school starts again, she is struggling with everything and because of all this stress, lack of feeling safe, feeling like she has no control of her life and the mountain of school work she has to do for her advanced classes, she is spiralling and she can’t seem to reach out, no matter how hard she tries, she believes that only she can deal with her demons, alone.

When she returns from her winter school break, she is trying to regain some control, she is restricting her food intake to keep the weight loss going which she started over summer, she is also trying different things to release the thoughts, stresses and demons in her head, but as she prepares for the first day back, she knows that it is going to be hell and that the bullies are just going to get worse. The one thing she is looking forward to is seeing her friends, her queens, although she still feels alone despite all of the people she has around her, however, her worst fears come to pass when she is intentionally hurt by the bullies who blame her for her brother breaking up with one of them, as she is held down, she is in pain, but there is nothing she can do about it and she knows that if she tells someone about what really happened, it will only get worse for her. Eventually she has to go to the hospital, the injuries she sustained are so bad she passes out and wakes up there with no idea how ill she has been, but she still cannot open up to her parents.

As Daisy continues to spiral, she begins to hurt herself more and more, her parents and brother are worried about her as they don’t know what’s going on, she keeps everything to herself and just clams up when they ask her about it all, she knows she is doing things which are especially risky and that hiding them isn’t helping, but she can’t stop herself. She feels so alone and disconnected from everyone and everything that she can’t see what is happening around her, but it is when someone finds what she is doing when she is caught in the act that things finally come to a head.

Will Daisy be able to reach out to those around her to help her to battle her inner demons, or will she continue in this downward spiral and become even more of a danger to herself than she already is? This book is dark, yet enlightening and makes you think as you look through the eyes of a troubled girl and those around her, it is not for the faint of heart and it is not an easy read, but it is well worth the time you take to go along Daisy’s journey with her.

Vengeance (The Journals Trilogy Book Two) Audio Book

By D.M. Earl

4 stars

 

After listening to the first book in the series I was really looking forward to settling down with Vengeance and it didn’t disappoint. Once again the narration was really easy to listen to and I was easily engaged in what I was listening to. I liked that the read time was quite short; I listened to it in 2 sittings. There were some triggers in the story that made it difficult to listen to at times especially as it’s spoken it really does feel like you are listening to someone’s real life. Quinn’s story is quite powerful to listen to and is definitely thought provoking! I admire her strength of character and I am looking forward to seeing where her story goes in the next instalment of this series!

Five Stars

Have you ever had that feeling that the nothingness was bliss? That you can’t understand why you’re here? That all consuming feeling that things would be better if you were gone? That’s the emotions this books brings me. I remember being a teen and feeling like I shouldn’t exist. Feeling like I’m just that random character in a story that passes everyone like a ghost on a ship. Even as an adult there are times when life is too much. This story was amazing for the simple fact that we all can relate. Even the most joyful person you know has felt that darkness. As a mom with a soon to be teen daughter I understand and feel the fear. The thought that my daughter could feel this way hurts. Knowing that all you can do is let them know you are here. Man the feels this book brought out is just ugh. If you’re ready to step into your teenage shoes again and get a glimpse of what today’s youth are feeling read this book.

Even though this book was written for the young adult, I was hooked from the very start! Daisy seems to speak for us all when our spotlights are dimmed. I was drawn to this book because I related to Daisy’s struggle not just in high school but as a person. From the internal struggles to her physical abuse she’s going through, Daisy is one tough cookie but she feels the need to vent through the reader so her experience is quite harrowing but the reader sees her for who she is. Please pick up this and share in Daisy’s story of her life to see where it brings you.

Daisy’s Darkness is a young adult story that has a dark theme. I really appreciate this author’s writing style. It is a story that makes you think throughout the book. You can feel the real struggles of the characters. The characters are complex and fully developed. The complex nature of the character’s feelings is fully relatable. This is about Daisy. She has many questions about her daily struggles and the pain she feels. Every day she is fighting to see light through all of her darkness. She is lonely but will she let others comfort her through this difficult point in her life? Will she come out of the darkness? I recommend this story to everyone and would recommend this to preteen and older.

WOW! What an awesome read! I could not put this book down. I didn’t know if Daisy was going to make it through this year in high school. The bullying she suffers would be too much for anyone and the fact that nobody in her family could recognize that she was hurting really made my heart lurch. I was very grateful to see the love and support she had within her family and friends groups and was hoping to see a little more happen with Griffin but I was satisfied with what we got. I would highly recommend this book for all young adults. Even though this is just a book, these scenarios are real and happen to teenagers all around. It would be nice for all youth to see how bullying of any kind could effect someone and what they can turn to, to make themselves feel better, or how they discipline theirselves because of it. I did not catch the other books in the series, this book can be read as a stand alone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is about as real as it can get when it comes to shedding a light on the many obstacles, feelings, and scary and scarring topics that teenagers deal with today. I don’t know if it is because I currently have a thirteen year old girl and 5 other kiddos who will hit teenage years, or if it just was plain mind consuming for me because I could relate on a personal level at that age as well, but this book will be with me for a long long time to come. I will say it does have some extremely triggering topics and may be difficult if you do not feel steady or strong in your mental health at the moment. However, I say that with caution because I am a strong believer in words being a healing thing for many. It is nice to feel as if you are not alone in the world whether it is a fiction or nonfiction read. This author, DM Earl, has done a wonderful job as well handling the topics in a way that I found constructive not just for mere filler in a story. I will not give away any of the gritty details because that is something you will want to read and enjoy for yourself, but I will say this is not one you will want to miss. I am new to DM Earl and her writing so I have not read the other books in this series, yet, but I was completely able to dive right in and not feel as if I needed those books to enjoy or understand this one. I will be going to dive into them as soon as possible, and look forward to seeing what else we will get in the future from DM Earl.
