Ashes of Aldyr (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 1) by Russell Archey – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Ashes of AldyrAshes of Aldyr by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first read of a book by Russell Archey. I was prepared for a typical dystopian fantasy tale, was I ever wrong. Nothing about Ashes of Aldyr is typical. It has a unique premise and writing style with unique characters and with what I like to call “grab you by the throat and drag you between the covers” feel to it.
The story begins with an event known as “The Rupture”. Instantly throwing the reader into the action, drama and plight of all characters that are affected. I love learning about each character’s specific challenge in each new chapter. The characters and world Mr. Archey created is so detailed you really get a sense of having been there and met the characters.
I felt this was a great entry book to this series and can’t wait for book two!!

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!

Stormwood: A Haunting Paranormal Tale by Luna Mayfield Review by Mandy Ott

StormwoodStormwood by Luna Mayfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Stormwood is hauntingly scary, and I couldn’t put it down! Such character building and story telling all rolled into a neat, almost sorrowfully short, book. Luna Mayfield uses romance to spice up this paranormal tale, but the haunting elements remain the focal point. Mayfield also includes a little familial history along the way. Intriguing and original, I recommend Stormwood to those brave enough to weather the chills and goosebumps. I can’t wait to see what other tales Luna Mayfield spins.

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George

5 Stars

Ok so first I’m wondering why I haven’t read anything by this author up to this point. This was an amazing book, one that totally messed with my mind.

I cant even go into any of the storyline because Im afraid I will say too much and that absolutely would not be fair to anyone thinking about reading this story., and you really must read this story.

My jaw is still on the floor, this author totally floored me and I LOVED it, that is one of my favorite things about reading is when I have no idea what’s going to happen and then I have to go back and reread while asking myself…Whoa…hold on…what did I just read.

I loved the friendship feel in this story as well as the family bonds and the whole meeting someone on FB and how true so much of that is.

I’m simply speechless and can not wait to go find more books by this author, I literally could not put this book down and if this is any indication of the writing style of this author…Count me in! I also want to mention how much I love the cover of this book..Just beautiful.

Holy Moly what a book!

Loved It!
