Drifting, Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman – Review by Heather Lovelace

Drifting, Falling -- Diary of a Call Girl SuicideDrifting, Falling — Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ullman weaves quite the spellbinding tale in this piece. The unexpected title grabs your attention immediately. And the premise, not my usual read, was intriguing with a well developed main character and plot. Ripley was a very complex and unique main character to follow and I was intrigued to walk alongside her throughout these pages. I won’t say much about the plot to avoid any spoilers. But suffice to say if you are at all intrigued by the summary you won’t be disappointed by this piece of fiction. Ullman does a fantastic job developing this story. Another great book by this author.

I'll See You Again (Reigning Hearts, #4)I’ll See You Again by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I will always and forever one click anything Fletcher writes. And this latest book in my library continues to reinforce my opinion on this matter. I love how she weaves her stories with strong main characters, raw emotion, slow burn, and a great soundtrack. This time our male lead is a Scot – oh yeah – and his leading lady is a strong willed gal that immediately had me cheering her on. From start to finish this book drew me in and pulled at my heart strings in the most beautiful of ways. Loved every page!!!

Mellett continues to expand her MC universe with this latest extension of the club into the Utah chapter. I’m never quite sure how Mellett will continue to surprise and thrill but she masterfully engages the reader in this universe and pulls forward characters introduced in previous installments to deepen the relationships forget between the reader and the club. Not giving anything away, I simply devoured this book and cannot wait to see how the series continues. Believe me when I say, when you have one, you’ll want them all!

Heed the description – this book is for mature readers only. Also not one you will want to read in public. Wood is a new author to me and although there is much to be cautioned of from an explicit standpoint there is also genuine emotion at the root with a strong storyline. I found this to be a quick read and one that I enjoyed.

This unexpected delight left me intrigued and wanting more. MacInnis is a new author to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this romp with the paranormal in a tongue in cheek way. It dances a fine line between skepticism and humor and truthfully provides a fun look into the new world our lead character finds herself in following a major life event. The first chapter did a fantastic job setting up the story and the character and simply took off from there. Truly delightful, I look forward to seeing where the series takes me next.

I really enjoy how the characters are tangible, flawed, and downright funny. There is humor even in the dark and twisted. This whodunit isn’t a scare fest but it immediately jumps in and makes you wonder exactly who Rose is and what in the world has happened? If you’ve ever lived in a small town you’ll appreciate how true this rings in situation and dynamic. I have enjoyed each of the books in this series and hope to read more from this author soon.
