Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of Truth, Freedom, and Love by Paul DeBlassie lll – Review by Jennifer Reimer

Goddess of EverythingGoddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was well written, and the writing style pulls you into the story right away and holds on till you can’t stop reading. The characters of the story mother and son were interesting to read about, and very real like it makes you wonder if this was a book really written about someone. There was a good originality to these characters and story. This story is twisted and complex which wrote a vividly detailed about how there is a dark side to religion. Between the nun’s ability to hurt you with their thoughts and Gabriel and his wife’s vision, it was a rollercoaster of a read as it kept me guessing till the end. There are moments when I felt chills about what I was reading, and I was on the edge more then once.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III is one of the best psychological horror books I believe I have ever read since Stephen King or Dean Koontz. This author has given me the creepiest case of the wiilies that I have ever had. Gabriel has grown up with “Mom of the Year.” She also happens to be Mother Superior. Oh, and did I mention that she has some creepy supernatural powers that she uses to hurt people, including Gabriel, his wife and child? Through the years, we see Mother Juana pretend to be awesome and use her powers to hurt people. Gabriel has always had the power of light on his side. This story is an intense battle of good and evil. Gabriel and his wife, Consuela, are trying to protect their child and the children from the orphanage. Consuela is the one to show that Mother Juana is a mother-in-law from Hell. You can feel the tension and suspense as you read. I love a good story that leaves me so creeped out, I need a night on. Well-written and well-developed, this is a worthy purchase and must-read for all fans of horror and suspense!!!! Paul DeBlassie III is now one of new favorites. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Phenomenal book!

Silent Gavel (Crawford Mystery #1)Silent Gavel by Merissa Racine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

If you are a fan of mystery and suspense, then look no further than this book Silent Gavel which is the first book in the Crawford Mystery duo by Merissa Racine. This quick read is a cross between is a ‘whodunit’ cozy mystery and thriller. The plot is full of suspense and intrigue, and I was so engrossed that before I knew it, I was at the end. I enjoyed the originality of the story and the characters, well most of them. Merissa incorporates her knowledge of being a court reporter and infused it as part of the story.

Lauren is in a fight for her freedom, but can she solve the case without ruffling too many feathers and landing herself with a life sentence?

Stand Your GroundStand Your Ground by A.J. Ullman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One of my favorite things about reading crime novels is that they often can be very believable and immersible if they are written well. Stand Your Ground by AJ Ullman just happens to be one of the best written crime thrillers that I have read in a long time and it is so believable and relatable to the time that we are all living in that I felt so transported I almost expected to turn on the news and see this crime and the characters on the tv. It was gripping and breathtaking at times how real it felt and I loved every single moment of it. I will be reading this novel again and recommending it to several friends and family members who I know will also be loving this story just as much. Ullman has done a fabulous job of taking a difficult topic, well several, and molded them with deep story lines and well formed characters that are strong and believable that you will be unsure who to root for and who to fall in love with at times. I can’t say enough good things about this book. Go one-click today, you won’t be sad you did!

I enjoyed this suspenseful story. This is my first book by this author which I look forward to seeing what is next for her. I found this book to be well written with characters that not only bring the story to life but also kept it engaging. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the author’s use of details. The twists and turns kept me guessing and wanting to see what would happen next. The characters are not only relatable but how they contributed to the growth of the plot throughout the story. This is a story about Lauren and how she takes a new courtroom job that turns deadly. She is running from the past and goes home to take on this new job. Problem is now, she is faced with being accused of killing the judge. What happens next you will want to read this book. You don’t want to miss this book, it is a great story full of action and hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

Deadly Words (Born Bad Book 1) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Shea Gilkerson

 

Deadly Words (Born Bad, #1)Deadly Words by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Deadly Words by Meghan O’Flynn was a fast paced read, full of twists and turns. It is book 1 in the Born Bad series, and leaves me excited to read book 2. It is in a format that switches between Poppy as a child, living with her father Steven Pratt and Poppy as an adult, a doctor in the chiropractic field. This format allows the element of surprise at several points throughout the book. As a child, Poppy and her father were very close, and he fostered a love of fairies and building them homes, and had a series of relationships that ended abruptly. You can feel how much Poppy looks up to and adores Steven, and envision his wide shoulders and glittering eyes – you can almost hear his booming laugh and understand the depth of love this little girl had for her father. It also allows you a glimpse into the life she led both before and after she made a phone call that changed both of their lives forever.

As an adult, a chiropractor within a practice, you get a taste of being a woman in a male run business as well as meet one of Poppy’s only friends – her coworker, Monique. Monique adds a sense of humanity and warmth that you don’t find in most of the other characters of this book and makes you want to know her. Her love of bright colors and sense of camaraderie with Poppy put a smile on your face – and at the same time, you also get to see inside Poppy’s head while she is interacting with her fellow chiropractors, therapist, Monique and more. I love the first person, internal conversations she has with herself while mid conversation with others – it makes so many parts personally relatable, even if her thoughts are different than mine.

Poppy feels comfortable in her routine until a stranger, author and journalist Carson Price, shows up into her very private life, asking questions she isn’t comfortable answering beyond the information he has already dug up with his sources. There is a draw between the 2 of them that Poppy is unfamiliar with and cannot explain, but doesn’t want to run from. Carson drops a bomb very early on, making Poppy question his sanity – but it brings them closer, trying to solve the mystery he insists is happening and draws Poppy in further.

This book is very fast paced, and keeps you reading to find answers to the questions it keeps introducing, and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Born Bad series. Will Poppy be able to help Carson solve the mystery he brings? Will she figure out the truth about Molly? What connections will she make, what memories will she have that prove to be clues to their past?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good crime Thriller than grips the reader and doesn’t let go. It covers a lot of issues that happen in this world, politics, ‘trial by media’ and racism.

Cady  had her life working to the way she planned it. She had a successful career and was on her way to becoming partner in the law firm she works at. However that all changed in a split second decision.

That decision meant she took the life of a man. Now faced with a possible murder charge she uses her knowledge of the law to put forward a plea of standing her ground.

This plea means that she shot and killed him in self defence but will the police and the public believe that. Should Cady get away with this because of her status in the world or will they look to make an example out of her?
This story is really enjoyable as we watch Cady’s fight to prove her case and save herself from a prison sentence for what she believes was self defense.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a new author to me but after reading the description I was intrigued. I am glad to say that this book did not disappoint at all.
We start off following Poppy which was a little confusing since there were flashbacks to Poppy as a child and some of the atrocities she had to experience. From there it is easy to make assumptions about Poppy especially after being the one to turn her father in. As she goes through this rollercoaster of life, we discover that she is at war within herself for loving her father and yet being the one to turn him in after he killed Shawn. Enter Carson who is writing a book about her dad and has acquired a stalker, that unbeknownst to him has been around for a while. Yet he is not the only one in the stalker’s sight, Poppy is too, and it almost seems like a game of cat and mouse to figure out who this person is. Is it a victim’s family member that her father murdered? What happens when the game finally comes to a head? Who will come out on top? I cannot recommend this book enough, and will do so to every book club I am apart of and every avid reader I come across I just loved this book and am excited to read Ms. O’Flynn’s other books!

There are too many good things I have to say about this book! I was hooked from page 1 and kept wanting more. One of my favorite thrillers of this year by far, so far! Some parts were so creepy and left me with goosebumps, exactly what I have been looking for in a book lately. I love the going back and forth between the past and present, so you really know what’s going on in Poppy’s head and what happened. I heard there’s a second book coming out as well, so I can’t wait to get my hands on that one!

I was intrigued when I read the summary of Deadly Words by Meghan O’Flynn, that I knew I had to check it out. Well written with great character development, however I struggled to get through it. It definitely wasn’t for me, but I don’t want that to be a deterrent for someone else.
Meghan O’Flynn created an interesting world for main character Poppy. Poppy a genius in her own right turn her father in to the police for murder when she was a child. Now someone is stalking her and writer Carson Price with all things starting to point at a link to her past, specifically her father.
It is her father’s doing?
Is it a hallucination?
Is it Poppy herself?
Just because this book wasn’t for me, if you like a book where the main character has a mysterious past that is now coming back to haunt and take over her future. Check it out! It could end up being your new favorite book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this gripping and addictive psychological crime thriller, which is a great start to a new series by the author. Told from the point of view of Poppy Pratt, the daughter of a psychopath we really get to understand this character and get into her mind, thanks to the wonderfully written descriptive narrative. Poppy’s father murdered her boyfriend Shawn in front of her when she was a teenager and it was Poppy who called the Sheriff and helped put him away for life. Eighteen years later and Poppy is a successful chiropractor who has done well for herself, living in suburban New Hampshire.

When a stranger who is writing a book about her father claims that her father is stalking him Poppy blows him off, after all he’s in prison. Then Poppy receives a package, a severed ear, and Poppy realises that someone, if not her father is also watching her. Soon her world which she built is falling apart and the secrets which Poppy has kept start to be discovered. Her stalker knows that Shawn was not her father’s only victim and has evidence to implicate Poppy in those crimes. Poppy’s lifelong fears that she is like her father start to come true, but will she end up with blood on her hands too.

I was hooked from page one and literally could not put this book down. The storyline was very dark and twisted with plenty of twists and turns in the plot that kept me guessing. I could feel the suspense and tension building with each chapter making this a real page turner. Poppy is a very complex character who the author managed to bring to life and make the reader feel empathy for. An enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend and I look forward to the next book in the ‘Born Bad’ series.

PHENOMENAL! This book knocked my socks off. I was not expecting that. This book takes off from the beginning and you just can’t put it down. A legal thriller along the lines of John Grisham’s early books. A plot full of action and twists, slimy characters that you love to hate, even ones you thought you’d love but found out they suck too. This book is worth the read. I can’t tell you anymore. You HAVE to read this. 10 stars if I could give it. You must read this. Highly recommend.

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curling Tale of Truth, Freedom and Love by Paul DeBlassie III is a wild ride. I loved every page of this book. I love psychological thrillers; Goddess of Everything adds in the supernatural that makes it even better! The descriptions were lifelike, I felt like I was there seeing everything around me. The characters were well developed. I want to say they were also relatable, but I didn’t feel like I could trust them. Which made for a better story, because I was constantly turning pages and trying to guess what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to everyone, even if thrillers aren’t your thing. It’s perfect for spooky season. Maybe don’t read it with the lights off! I will say a trigger warning may be needed for scenes depicting child abuse and murder.

4 out of 5 stars

Meghan O’Flynn is an author I’ve read and enjoyed in the past so once I saw Deadly Words I knew I needed to read it. Overall, it did not disappoint. I had a little trouble getting into the book at first, I felt a little lost and as if the storyline was slow to pick up. Despite this, the writing was strong and I could already tell I was invested in Poppy as a character. While the book often felt long, it never got to the point where I found myself bored or disinterested. I feel like Meghan O’Flynn had a unique approach to unraveling plot twists and that
kept me engaged. There were several times I read a line that
really stuck out, whether it was description or metaphor it really
showcased the authors talent on many occasions. I’m addition to the author’s unique writing style I liked Poppy’s sense of humor and really hoped that she would see that while some people do bad things, they aren’t always bad and she too deserves good things. I liked Carsen immediately and was happy to see he played such a big role in the storyline. Even though the book was centered on the daughter of a serial killer, i enjoyed the complexities of the characters and the theme of the story itself, even though people are evil, we still have our version of them and our reasons we love. I am happy that this is the start of a new to
me series and I really look forward to reading more in the future.

Deadly Words is the first book in the Born Bad Series by Meghan O’Flynn and Holy Cow what an intense read. Whew . I was hooked from the first page and was on the edge of my seat throughout the story . I never hesitate to pick up anything by this author and I’m pretty sure this is going to the top of my favorites list. The twists and turns had me turning the pages till the end. This is one of those stories that will stay with you long after you’re finished. I’ve been trying to come up with the best words to describe it for hours and nothing comes close. This author does a phenomenal job at creating these stories that grab ahold of you and don’t let you go. I closed my eyes several times while reading and could picture very vividly what she was describing. This is a fantastic thriller about Poppy. Her had is in prison for the rest of his life. Poppy is now grown and living her best life as a Chiropractor that is until things start happening. A stranger shows up on her door step claiming he’s being stalked. Who is it? Someone is watching her but who can it be and what do they want? I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I already can’t wait for the next book to come out.

This author can write some horrific stories and this one is no exception. We step into the life of a psychotic who is living a normal-ish life. This is written in the past and present and told by his daughter. Both tenses were weaved in to make the stony blend and give us tidbits at a time.

My biggest issue is there were many avenues that were alluded to that just didn’t feel closed at the end of the book. It could be my fault..I might have missed a lot. Its an okay book with twists and turns but not the thrill ride I expected.

4.5 stars

Stand Your Ground by A.J. Ullman is a thriller. This crime story is full of loss and pain, lies and betrayal, and law. It is a fast paced and engaging tale full of action and twists and turns. AJ’s narrative is detailed and engrossing, and as always, I found myself turning page after page devouring every word. This is a complex story where you want to believe that honesty and truth will prevail. But when there is so much against you and the politics and morals of others will be your downfall. Then only by standing strong when true friends and allies come to light do you perhaps have hope.

Cady thought she was up for the one thing she has worked towards but one night changed all that and she is now in for the fight of her life. She knows she is strong, but will she be strong enough to withstand this?
