My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a fantastic portrayal of PTSD and fhr devastating effects it can have, not just on the individual but tydif immediate family too. The author does an incredible job of highlighting the struggles the main character goes through.
The Book had a slow and intense pace to it, really lending to the emotional aspect of the story. I couldn’t help but be drawn into it. This is an incredible boom and is one I think more people should read.

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13, #4)Burned by Fire by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a pretty enjoyable short story. It is quite a quick paced book due to its length but it was easy enough to get in to. The boom lacked a little bit of depth, which at times I felt could have easily been added without losing the novel feel to it, however it soon picked back up again.
The characters were easy to connect with and fit with the story well. I liked that we got to see things from the dual perspective and for me that made the book. This is a quick and easy read that is enjoyable from staff to finish.

I really like how this book had a unique and refreshing view of a shifter story. It is a genre that is over done so to find something with a fresh take is always good. I enjoyed the writing style of the book. I really connected with the characters, especially Nolen. I felt his journey and everything he went through. The book has so much going on it was definitely exciting to read. I would highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew this book was going to be emotional going into it, and I wasn’t wrong! This tale is both heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. I really felt like you went on the journey with the author, experiencing things with her. Although the book is quite fast paced, it doesn’t shy away from any aspect of what the author went through.
This is the kind of book that will resonate with so many people as it is an experience many will go through. Having someone brave enough to tell their story, and really highlight what it all means, can really go a long way to helping someone else. This is a brilliant book and I applaud the author for writing it.

What a truly lovely and heart-warming story. This is such a great way highlighting the feelings adoption can bring up.

What a story about determination and the ability to rise above. Grace is one of those characters that you can’t seem to help but root for. There is something about her that has you connecting instantly. I enjoyed the fact that we got to see a bit of her history and how everything started.

The overall storyline was well written and showed some great development. This was a great book that is definitely worth reading.
