Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am lost and feel worthless ready to meet my maker but one wrong call changes my life forever, but can we survive long enough for her to piece me back together.

Sam is lost within a world of evil and sacrifice, now that he is within his brother’s love he feels worthless. With their father still on the loose and knowing what pure evil he is Sam is feeling that the best for him is to leave this world and fine peace with his mother as an angel, but as he makes his last phone call to his brother he dials the wrong number changing his life, attitude and will to live to protect this lost soul.

Ellie is broken, her work although rewarding is deeply hurtful also, being the last call for someone who is in need and sometimes not being able to get there is becoming more and more stressful for her, but on New Year’s Eve she receives a random phone call which changed her life and she now can’t let he creep back into the evil world, they need to find a way to play his father at his own game and crush him once and for all.

OMG I have been waiting for this book to read and it did not disappoint, I love this series and all the brothers but Sam’s story nearly broke me. I do have to say that I would not recommend this book if you have not read the others in the series, this is definitely not a stand alone book, with that said this story is what you come to expect from India Kells full of action, twists and a well written story which has you engaged from the first word to the last.

As you only grab glimpses of Sam in the other book’s you know that there is a brilliant story lurching in his past and oh my did this story hit the right spot. Sam was always a lonely soul and getting to understand his darkness was brilliant and well written, the story draws you in and you want to grab Sam and just give him a hug. Ellie’s character is the greatest to compliment Sam, with her broken history also but the inner strength she shows when in situations is a great adventure to read.

Will they escape the evil clutches of his father or will they both be lost in the world Jamieson Finch has created you will have to read to find out, but I will say one thing you will not be disappointed. Can’t wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. Thank you India for allowing my imagination to come alive within your stories.

“Watch your back. Keep your eyes open. And be careful who you trust.
It was exhausting, pretending everything was normal.
Even though I knew I couldn’t drop my guard for even a moment…”

 

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I really am having trouble finding the words to do this book the justice it deserves. This was such a brilliant, twisty, and unpredictable read that I really couldn’t put down till I had read every single last word! Those last few chapters- OMG!!! I did not see that coming, that’s for sure. So well done!! Highly recommended!!! Must read!!!
The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek intrigued me from the moment I laid eyes on it. I quickly snapped up a copy and dove in as psychological thrillers are my favourite genre of all- and this one promised to be great.
As this was my first read from Michele PW, I really didn’t know what to expect going in- but I am soooo happy that I found her, finally- I really don’t know why I haven’t come across her work before now as she has quite a few books to her name- but all is right in the world because now I have a new author to add to my ‘must read’ list. The most exciting thing is that she has so many more books for me to buy and devour!! I love that feeling of discovery! The thrill of knowing that you are about to go on an epic book binge with an author you know won’t disappoint and one who I know I will love whatever it is she chooses to write. For this little ol’ book worm, there is nothing better!
From the moment I opened this book, the intrigue began. Janey receives a letter form her sister who has been missing for eight years. Eight years of not knowing what happened to her. Eight years of wondering why she left. Eight years of not knowing if she was even alive still. Then the letter arrives, and that in itself is a bit of a puzzle- the letter is somewhat disturbing, speaking of danger, and begging for help- but is it already too late? Janey is now desperate to find her sister. And so this amazing puzzle begins.
Janey embarks on her quest that will see her unravelling the mystery of her sister’s disappearance, the secrets and lies that she will have to unwind in order to find the truth. Her journey of discovery had me on the edge of my seat the whole way along- trying to piece everything together before the final reveal. But the ‘big reveal’ left me reeling- I didn’t expect that at all. So well done!!! The last few chapters were intense!!!
This is a gripping psychological thriller, with a stalker, twists and turns, layers, suspense, palpable tension, danger, an unpredictable storyline, secrets, lies, obsession, paranoia, trauma, investigation, emotion, and a quest for answers. There are flashbacks to past events that really help to build the backstory and also adds to the tension of the story. Things are definitely not what they seem on the surface.
Michele PW certainly knows how to instil tension and a chilling, creepy factor to her storyline which made her book unputdownable!
Can’t wait to explore the rest of her books.
#MUSTREAD

Thank you, Michele Pariza Wacek!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have been eagerly waiting for this book to kit my Kindle ever since finishing book four. As I have said so many times before, Ms. Kell’s never fails to deliver an exciting read, and this story certainly delivered on that count. It is becoming harder and harder to choose a favourite from the series as Ms. Kells ups the ante each and every time.
This is a fantastic romantic suspense- full of tension, action, danger, chemistry, intrigue, dramatic developments, gripping and suspenseful details, complex characters, sizzle, romance, emotion, family , hope, love, and plenty more.
As with every one of Ms. Kells’ books so far, I was hooked right from the beginning, I really couldn’t put it down and was glued to the pages- completely devouring it in a couple of hours as I needed to know what happens. As expected, the story is superbly written, with a complex and multi-layered storyline that proved to be not only emotional, but also an exciting and incredibly engrossing read.
This is Sam and Ellie’s story- and OMG did I feel for those two. So much. They have been through so much and I was so happy they found each other- but that’s not to say there weren’t a few anxious moments through the story. I could feel their sadness and the weight of their ‘burdens’. Sam was ready to end it all- but a misdialled number connects him with Ellie- and so the adventure begins.
I love how Ms. Kells is a master of interconnected details- and how the details in this book help to build on the previous ones- building a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father ‘issues’. And even though this book could be read as a standalone, there is much to gain by reading the previous four books first- which really do help to build a ‘bigger picture’. Plus, the other books are superb stories in their own rights!
OMG- I have already pre-ordered the next book, ‘King Bastard’- as it looks set to be amazing!!! Can. Not. Wait!!!

Thank You, India Kells!

This was a very interesting take on body, mind, and health alterations. Makes you second guess what you allow to be put into your body and the effects it will have. Dr. Kite is not what he portrays. It left me feeling kind of freaked out to be honest. The three women are each unique in the help they are hoping to receive but is it worth it in the end? This is a very quick read that will keep you pondering for a while.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Manifested Dreams by Dr Yvonne Johnson is a wonderful complex story and one that will make your heart ache. It is stories of African-American history throughout generations. But it is not just storying it is an education. A lot of passion and heart and soul has gone into this book, and it shows in Yvonne’s writing. It is like leaving a legacy and a record of events to allow word to remain alive for others to keep long into the future. It is original and it is thought provoking that will take you on life’s journey. This inspiring story is short and quick, but it packs a punch. I wish it were longer.

The Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn – Review by Kimberly Shirah

The Myder Bird TattooThe Myder Bird Tattoo by Julia Colbourn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you like fantasy, adventure, and coming of age novels with a dystopian feel then The Myder Bird Tattoo is for you. Julia Colbourn creates an immersive world of Arcadia that you can lose yourself in.

Elfern, an Ellisian, is the youngest daughter of the current queen of Arcadia. She has never wanted to rule and has always had a soft spot for the Cadians, a physically stronger race that the Ellisians keep in check using their special powers, Negaforce. Unfortunately, her mother and sister does not feel the same. They see the Cadians for what they have always used them for: physical laborer’s and nursemaids. Everyone feels the tension beginning to bubble up between the two races.

Arcadia is ruled by woman, all Ellisian males born are sent off to be trained to become the Brethern. They also have the Negaforce ability, though theirs is not as strong as the woman. The Brethern are divided amongst themselves into four sects, each tattooing themselves to define to which they belong.

We follow Elfern as she tries to unravel mysteries of her race and coexistence with the Cadians. After escaping an assassination attempt on herself and finding out that her mother did not escape hers, Elfren starts to think of how things could change. How everyone can live together more harmoniously. Unfortunately she will have to go head to head with her cruel sister to implement her plans.

I sometimes have problems reading Fantasy novels because I get lost in trying to picture the world around them. Thankfully that was not the case thank to Colbourn’s world building. I also like the fact that she ended the book in a way that everything mostly wrapped up. I like that she didn’t leave you in suspense and awaiting a second book that will not come out for months. That being said, I will not say no to reading the next book if this is turned into a series.

I honestly couldn’t put this book down even though my heart was begging me to because it was very difficult to read. No one should have to go through what this author went through. This is a book I think everyone should read at least one time in their life. It was sad, and heartbreaking, and pitiful and absolutely beautiful to see how successful she became. She has got an amazing story and I’m so glad she decided to share it with us all. Thank you so much Jessica Aiken-Hall!

You know you have a good book when you can picture yourself in the story. That is what this book did for me and finding out it was the fourth in the series was surprising. I did not read the first three but still was able to follow along. The characters of Will and Jessica are so relatable and the highs and lows of deciding on a relationship or protecting the heart are I’m sure decisions we’ve all made at one time or another.
There was just enough romance coupled with the suspense that kept me turning the pages through to the end. Always wanting to find out what happened next. Will and Jessica are amid finally following their hearts when trouble comes calling. In the form of letters and pictures demanding money or there would be consequences. At first the letters are ignored as maybe it is just someone intimidating them but as the terrorizing escalates Will must seek refuge with the very person he’s trying to protect. Can Will protect Jessica from some unsavory characters? Will Jessica get the bed and breakfast finished in her own design or will her wandering travel thoughts carry her elsewhere? Can they move on from past hurt or will it tear Will and Jessica apart? You’ll have to read this book to find out what happens next. As for me I am going to read the other novels to see what happened to the other characters that appear in this story.

Talk about complicated. This is a relationship full of challenges, flirting and inuendo. Toss in Finch and the brothers and it’s ripe for another fun chapter in the Dark Sparrow series. Great plot that keeps you reading for more. Well written characters that have such real personalities that jump right off the page. You should give this a try.

The Third NannyThe Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give The Third Nanny: A twisted psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping ending (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek), 5 stars.

I have read books in the past that were supposed to be psychological thrillers and they were, well okay. This book labels itself as a twisted psychological thriller. I was skeptical that it would live up to it, but was still interested enough to see what this book had in store for me. Right off the bat, it’s obvious that there is more going on than what meets the eye. The author has a brilliant way of slipping in more and more as the story goes on. You are left wondering what is really going on. There are so many angles here — I thought I knew what was going on, but no. Insert evil laughter from the author here.

This book was brilliantly written with so many twists and turn, you are left with your head spinning. The story is so good and unique, the characters are precisely written with so many levels to them. You really are left with wondering just who to root for and what the story of the missing girl really is about. If you are a fan of this genre, I so highly recommend it.

He takes us through a journey of his mind and soul. We get an in depth look at how he feels about many aspects of life from the environment that surrounds us to people and places. I had to read this slowly and often put it down for a bit because it triggered some deep thoughts and emotions for me. Along with his beautiful poetry, Leon Stevens also blesses readers with some of his beautiful artwork. It helped the stories to come to life a little more. I will definitely read this again.

Nothing teaches you REAL history like the stories passed down from REAL people. In this book, Dr. Yvonne Johnson compiles letters of real life experiences through generations of one family. It was eye opening and tugged deep down in my soul. There are still many problems in our country when it comes to racism, many problems that have existed for years on end. It’s heartbreaking to know that people still experience today some of what their ancestors experienced all those years ago. These stories also told of the bravery and triumphs of many over the years. This is definitely an eye opening book that everyone should take the time to read!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells – Review by Jaclyn DeTullio

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The word dark is right there in the title, and it certainly fills the inside of the story. Mental health issues, trauma, emotional exhaustion.. it’s all here. The book starts heavy, with Sam coming to the unfortunate conclusion that he’s reached the end of his rope. He doesn’t see a way to keep going, and doesn’t want to be the “weak link”. By chance he calls the wrong number, and that was all the reason he needed to keep going. Even if he thought it was only temporary, to help Ellie.

Ellie was wrung dry from life, her job. Her soul was weary and dark, much like Sam’s. Them finding each other was a blessing and a curse. A curse because of Sam’s awful Father. This book was heavy, but by the ending there was light and I finished with a smile.

The Monster That Ate My MommyThe Monster That Ate My Mommy by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This memoir is definitely not for the faint of heart, it is a story of overcoming a childhood full of haunting memories and harrowing experiences, all viewed through a lens of why not being loved is so damaging and how one child worked through it all to become the woman she is today. The book starts with a quote which also became the title, “I’m not your mommy, I’m the monster who ate your mommy.” As a three year old, most children are inquisitive and start asking questions, but this author’s mother didn’t want to answer them, so she distracted her daughter in other ways she could think of, to the point where the author started to believe that the chaos she existed in was the normality and that everyone else was odd in the way they lived. From the start, her life was one lacking in parental love, but in her grandmother, she found the love she wanted, however, this would not keep the experiences of her childhood and the secrets she had to keep because of it away.

As the author grew up, she lived with her mother and brother, but from a young age, tragedy was never far away and each one detached her further from the love she so desperately wanted and as family moved in and out of her life, trauma of all kinds just kept building up and the feelings of depression and despair kept appearing, especially when told that her mother didn’t love her and that nobody else would either. As a child, she blamed it all on bad luck which she had somehow brought upon herself, however, as she got older, the trauma changed and morphed into something horrific which was used against her in such a manipulative way that no matter how hard she chased, her mother just became more distant, so she searched for love in other places which weren’t healthy or at times, appropriate. The only constants in her life were her grandmother and her friends with whom she found an escape from the life she led and those around her, who supported her, even when she fell back into unhealthy ways of thinking and helped her to face things as an adult that had happened to her as a child.

This is a story of overcoming hardship and trauma to become someone more and learn how to live and how to love and be loved which draws you in and makes you see life in a different light, as well as gain an insight into the lives of those around you and help you learn how to be able to offer your support to people in a similar situation. in an appropriate way.
