One Fluttering Heartbeat (A Prairie Tale #1)One Fluttering Heartbeat by Lisa Sorbe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One Fluttering Heartbeat is book one in the A Prairie Tale series by Lisa Sorbe and a sweet and heartfelt story. It’s about trying to find happiness and moving on from loss. Trying to find yourself after you no longer know who you truly are after being half of a whole. It’s about loving yourself and giving yourself permission to live again. Lisa has written a beautiful story that you will enjoy right to the end and the emotions evoked from this story with tug at your heartstrings.

Elise’s life has been on hold, she doesn’t know how to move on, she doesn’t know what to feel. Her friend June is getting married, so she returns to her hometown with the hope of starting over, of finding herself again and re-evaluating the life she had and what she wants now. What she needs to do for herself but that is easier said than done when someone from your past maybe the one thing you shouldn’t have.

I loved the characters and the story line was well written and I enjoyed watching our main character grow and rediscover herself. This is one read you need to put on your list.

The House at 758The House at 758 by Kathryn Berla
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The House at 758 by Kathryn Berla is a story about a young girl Krista who has been struggling with living since the death of her mother. As anyone knows dealing with grief is hard to deal with at any time but being a teenager and struggling to know who you are on top of that is a double whammy.

Everyone seems to have moved on but Krista doesn’t know how and the one person in her life who is supposed to understand her is the one person she no longer knows how to communicate with. She finds herself with an obsession she can seem to get past, one that could see her land in hot water. When her grandpa comes to visit she starts to see things in a different light. Learning to reconnect with him is helping her reconnect to life.

It’s a quick and easy read. It is about second chances and finally find that inner peace that allows you to move on.

Race the Darkness (Fatal Dreams, #1)Race the Darkness by Abbie Roads
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Race the Darkness is the first book in the Fatal Dreams series. Thankfully this is not a cliff hanger and the story is wrapped up well.

Everything changed for Xander when he was struck by lightning. With increased hearing abilities and the ability to read thoughts, he often helps out authorities as a special consultant. It’s difficult sometimes to manage all of the input, especially in regard to one voice he keeps hearing over and over again. It’s happened for years and his solution has been to drink it away.

On one occasion he finally lets the voice lead him and he ends up finding a girl and her grandmother trapped in a trailer with a mentally ill woman who has been abusing them. After rescuing them, he discovers an unusual connection between himself and the victim, Isleen.

As they spend more time together, Xander learns that Isleen has been having traumatic dreams that foretell the future. And, interestingly, Isleen is the only one that can help him manage his powers. The more they are around each other, the more their bond grows. But then, just as things seem to be going well, someone murders Isleen’s grandmother and then kidnaps Isleen.

This book is full of family drama, a religious cult, twists and turns, and the strange actions that some people take out of a twisted sense of love.

The Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall

5 Awesomely Amazing Heartbreaking Stars

I am an avid reader and have read since I was very young, I’m not so young anymore and can confidently say I’ve read more books in my lifetime than most normal readers that read for pleasure. I without even a second thought can say that there is not another book I’ve read that has touched me the way this book has. This author has taken a heartbreaking story and filled it with so much courage and hope making me feel so many emotions while reading it that I’ve had to take a few hours to sit and get my thoughts together before being able to even think of writing this review.

I am in complete awe of this author. The strength and courage it had to have taken to write this and while writing having to relive it all is far beyond my thought process. What is also beyond what I can imagine is that this is real, and is happening right now all over the world, this author proves that it can be happening right next door to us and we have no clue.

She is a brave survivor. Ive wanted to meet many authors in person but never as much as I’d love to meet this one if only to lay my eyes on such strength and beauty. I absolutely loved how this book was written, the words formed her emotions even when those emotions were hard to feel.

I truly just don’t know what else to say, reviewing this book feels wrong because this wasn’t just a book, this was a life put into words brilliantly!! I will recommend to every person I know that they read this story!!

Have followed this author and will one click anything and everything.

Common Ground: Kayla and Taylor’s Story by Alice Rachel – Review by Jana Teppih

Common Ground: Kayla and Taylor's StoryCommon Ground: Kayla and Taylor’s Story by Alice Rachel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Common Ground: Kayla and Taylor’s Story by Alice Rachel is part of her Underground series and you should really read them in an order. I know, it might be a bit confusing having had read the main first book and then reading the novella but in some ways it makes total sense! All these novellas/short stories that Alice is gracing us with give deeper insight into her dystopian world and helps you to understand some of the characters’ motivation and background better.
As the title says, this is the story of Kayla and Taylor who we know are leaders of the Resistance from reading the first book. I loved to learn about how they first met and how they built the trust between them and how experience of loss cemented their relationship further. Apart from Kayla and Taylor we learn more also about other characters we have come across the series …
This novella is another amazing example of the chilling world that the writer has created, it leaves us feeling disturbed especially considering the political environment we are living in! I was telling to a stranger today about the-forced-sterilization-of-lower-classes-law and permission-to-kill-the-homosexuals-at-sight law and she was blown away … is that the future awaiting for us? Keep writing Ms Rachel!

Race the Darkness (Fatal Dreams, #1) by Abbie Roads – Review by Jenni Bishop

Race the Darkness (Fatal Dreams, #1)Race the Darkness by Abbie Roads
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Race to Darkness is the first book in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads and is a paranormal romance. I enjoy reading Abbie’s books and this one did not disappoint me. This dark story has tales of legends, people with powers and a religious cult that you just want to see the same happen to them. You will find yourself going through a myriad of emotions as you walk along this path with these characters.

Isleen Walker has given up on ever being found. She has endured 8 years of hell and no longer has the will to live and she had made peace that death but event that seems to elude her. Nothing will take her away from her living nightmare. The only thing that has kept her alive this long is the belief in her dreams. Dreams that seem so real and yet so far away.

Xander Stone has a gift but if you ask him it is a curse, but if you want information then he is your man. He uses his gift to help catch criminals but the only way for him to survive is by drowning out the noise in his head. Now he doesn’t know why but he is being pulled towards something and can not stop himself. What he finds at his destination breaks his heart and is at a loss for who could have done such a thing.

When the two connect the world is set to right. Being apart is not an option. Is it madness or something much deeper than either of them suspect?

OMG the men in this story need a good slap but they get there in the end and there is a lot of crazy goings on that keeps you glued to the story to see what was going to happen next. I am waiting with baited breath to see what Abbie comes up with next for her next book.

This is a 5 star crazy read.
