Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Two Novellas by Zarina Macha
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Extremely well written collection discussing extremely difficult topics. This was a hard read for me because of the subject and the pure emotion that I had to process while reading. But the difficulty truly helped impress how authentic these stories were penned to be. The author does a beautiful job with a topic many don’t approach or treat with appropriate levels of realism. Extremely well done. This is a sensitive subject and will be difficult to read for some. However the synopsis appropriately warns the reader. Definitely recommended reading for mature readers over 14.

For this to be a debut novel…oh the greatness we should expect from Gluhm is making me breathless with anticipation. From beginning to end this novel held me transfixed.

I love a good suspense filled story steeped in historical context. This book hit all the notes for me. Loved every page.

If you are looking for a feel good, romantic series with southern charm, tons of heat, sassy heroines, and hunky men… pick this up now!!!! I don’t know if I can pick my favorite of these books.

Gio and Serena – holy smokes! The chemistry between this two will scorch your eye balls! Via Mari is truly a gifted writer with the ability to write an emotionally charged romance that is filled with complex characters, a layered plot (that continues several stories from previous books)… it stands on its own well but is more fully appreciated in the context of Mari’s entire universe. Loved every page. One click this one ASAP!

For full enjoyment this book should be read in series order. But Gilmore’s literary skill would allow someone to pick up this book and enjoy it thoroughly without reading the first. A fantastic adventure. I cannot wait to pick up book three!
