Divided LivesDivided Lives by K.R. Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book as I hadn’t realise that, although this story was fictional, it had a basis in true facts. I thought the author did a fantastic job of capturing the era and what it would be like for the heroine. I could easily imagine the scenes been depicted and found the story to be engaging.
The storyline was definitely intriguing. There was a lot going on which created a fast paced story. I loved the mix of characters in the book too. I really felt you experienced their lives and the way of life in 1912. This is a well written and interesting story that I would recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the perfect example of a time travel story done right. The author has created an amazing story, detailed and intricate from the start. It draws you in and without noticing yoh just can’t put this book down. The characters were such an interesting mix. I enjoyed the fact that then author didn’t paint a picture of them being ‘perfect’ and think I liked reading about them more because of this.
I thought this book was well writing and exciting. I hope there will be more to come!

Unveiling Beulah Audiobook by Dana Wayne – Review by Kerry Baker

This book is one of those that took me by surprise. I was sure that I would enjoy it but I didn’t expect to be drawn into the story the way I was. As I listened to the story being narrated I could so easily imagine everything that was happening. I was really interested in the main character as well. She was so strong and really seemed to carry the story.

I definitely became more invested in this story than I expected and I through it was a great book. I am looking forward to more work from  this author.

As soon as I saw another book by this author I knew I had to start it straight away as all her books are so good. And this series is clearly going to be no exception. I was pulled into this book so easily. The story, the characters, it really does have it all. The book is full of suspense. I didn’t know which way it would go at any point, but I couldn’t wait to find out. I had too see how everything would turn out.
I loved the characters too. Their connection as intense and so real. I was drawn into them and it was like I couldn’t look away. Even after the book had finished I wanted to know more about them. If the rest of the series is as good as this book then I think we will be in for a serious ride, and I can’t wait to see what else is in store.

This book is all about the characters from the moment they are introduced. The connection between them is instantaneous and you can feel it in every page.
