I am a little in shock about these two novellas. Zarina Macha writing was full of webs that are woven around the main characters of the stories. Her characters fully support the story but I honestly had a hard time making it through the novellas. I could not get the visions of the main characters out of my mind. I think what bothered me the most is that this can happen and how upsetting this can be not only for the person but also the family members. These stories are definitely for young adults over the age of 14. In both stories, the main characters have skeletons (demons) in their closet. The stories are horrid and hard to read, but I am glad I did finish the stories. I recommend this book. It is an eye opener when you start to think that this could happen in the real world.

This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I love the writing style and the flow of these stories. These were seriously tough stories to read, but written so well and although I don’t have a lot of knowledge about these subjects I feel as though I understand them just a bit more after reading more about them. I imagine these two young women suffer from things that are a reality to people around the world, and my emotions were all over the place while reading.
The first novella dealt with a young girl Tess, who is dealing with Schizophrenia brought on by the death of her brother. My heart broke for Tess, she went through so much to deal with everything going on in her mind, tried everything to make it all go away. The guy she loves doesnt love her in quite the same way and bad decisions lead to something horrible happening.
I found myself pulling so hard for Tess, she truly was amazing and I wanted her so badly to find her way. I LOVED Ed and Monique in this story. They both genuinely loved Tess and she was so blessed to have great parents and a huge support system. I feel weird saying I loved this story but I did, it was very heartfelt and written with so much care.
The second Novella was even harder than the first, I had a really hard time with it and that stems I think from just not understanding the disease. My emotions struggled a lot during this one and although it ended as it should have it still made me really sad.
I will absolutely be looking for more books by this author. Although the subjects were tough they were written very well.

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Two Novellas by Zarina Macha is YA fiction- with darker elements, drama, sensitive subjects, and emotion. I loved the cover, and thought the premise of this book sounded quite intriguing, so I snapped up a copy to explore. The book contains two novellas, “Every Last Thought” which follows Tess- and “Psycho Girl”which focuses on Evelyn. The stories are a little darker than I anticipated- which should have been right up my alley- but because they were such short stories, I think they fell short of the initial promise that they held. In my opinion, I really think the ‘topics’ needed to be ‘fleshed out more’- the darker elements needed more time to ‘simmer’ and garner the depth and impact they might have otherwise had- but instead fell a little short due to trying to make the stories ‘fit’ in a smaller amount of space. I would love to see what they could become given more room to ‘grow’. Will definitely check out her next book/s though.

Lucifer’s Emblem is the first book in the new Celestial Academy series by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk. This is definitely my favourite of their books, so far- and I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. It is a fantastic YA series with angels- Fallen and Archangels- as well as adventure, mystery, action, suspense, friendship, discoveries, danger, and so much more. Zuri is the eighteen year-old daughter of Lucifer, the Ruler of Hell, and has been groomed to take over the kingdom one day. Here we discover that there is a lot more to Lucifer than we’ve been ‘told’. (Which is an intriguing take on the whole ‘Lucifer’ story). Anyway, Lucifer’s Emblem is their family heirloom and their only defence against the Archangels- so when it disappears Zuri is determined to hunt it down and return it to hell. She tracks the Emblem to the Celestial Academy, and in order to gain access there she assumes a new identity- so she can continue her search. She is accepted, and then discovers that her new roommate is none other than Archangel Michael’s daughter, Miryam. This should be interesting. As things evolve, she and Miryam begin to form a bond- but can Zuri really trust her? She soon discovers that there is a lot more to the emblem than she knew, and now there is so much more at stake- the missing emblem is just the beginning. This is an exciting and very original story and I loved following along on the adventure! Book two can’t come soon enough!!!

Lucifer’s Emblem: A Paranormal Academy Romance by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is the first book in the Celestial Academy series. This is a great collaboration between two authors. This book was definitely an interesting one. It felt like it had a fresh take on the whole Lucifer story which was nice. It meant it didn’t get boring and slow. The characters were enjoyable too. They were entertaining and both different from each other. That story was quite fast paced, it felt like I read it fairly quickly. This is an overall good story and I am looking forward to book 2.

This is a young adult story that deals with real teen issues. This is a well written story that kept me turning pages to the end. It is a fast paced, engaging story that I read in one sitting. In this book Leda is in love with Nico who is a bad boy. Is she ready to trust him but the question remains that if she isn’t ready will he wait for her? Can she really change him? This author did a great job of depicting real life teenage problems that they face. The characters go through alot and I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the book. They are serious but they bring humor to the story too. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet. It is a paranormal romance story that I had a hard time putting down once I started it. I was pulled right into the story by the characters. I found that I could easily connect to them. They made the story feel real. The story is about an emblem that was stolen that must be found before it unleashes Armageddon. There is only one person’s blood who can stop it, Zuri’s but will she learn to trust Miryam before it is too late? I really enjoyed this story and the mystery it brought. Watching their bond grow throughout the story was great and the connections they made with each other. I highly recommend reading about these Fallen and Archangels and if they find the emblem before it is too late

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, novel 2, The Italian Saga) By Gaia B. Amman 5 out of 5 stars
The story Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, novel 2, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman is a book that I enjoyed reading. It is a story that had me interested right from the start and I found myself not wanting to put it down. It is the story of Leda. It is the 1990’s in Italy. Leda is in high school and like other teenage girls has thoughts about boys and if she should hold off until marriage. Leda has so many thoughts and emotions going on in her head. What does the future hold for her? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down with Leda’s. I like Leda and you can’t help but want her to be happy. Teenage years can be very tough and when hormones and emotions are involved life can become complicated. I also enjoyed many of the additional characters that interact with Leda. Some are true friends to her and then others that make me wonder what they are truly about. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Leda. Heartbreaking moments, confusion, and honesty are all part of this tale. It is a book I would recommend reading.

I loved reading the story Lucifer’s Emblem: A Paranormal Academy Novel (Celestial Academy Book 1) by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk. It is a book that is entertaining and hard to put down once I had started reading it. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Zuri and Miryam. Zuri is trying to recover a stolen relic. Zuri is someone who is independent and takes chances. She finds herself at the Celestial Academy and meets Miryam. Miryam is the daughter of the Archangel Michael. She is a girl who wants attention and can be needy. There is bad blood between Fallen and Archangels. Can Zuri and Miryam work together to find out the true motives of the thief and get the relic back? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action and danger. I enjoyed reading the bantering that goes back and forth between Zuri, Miryam, and the other characters that are introduced in the book. The authors have done a wonderful job in world-building. This is a book that had me wondering what was going to happen next and how it all would end. I highly recommend reading it.

When Lucifer’s Emblem—his one defense against the Archangels who banished him from Heaven—is stolen, his daughter, Zuri tracks the thief to Celestial Academy. As the child of a Fallen, she’d never be allowed entry to the school for the descendants of angels and saints. Instead, she dons a fake identity, leading her right into the path of Miryam bat-Michael.
Miryam may be the daughter of the Archangel Michael, but she’s far from perfect. Craving the love of a father who is barely around, she seeks admiration and affection wherever she can find it. Even if that means throwing in with Zuri, the girl who doesn’t fit in.
A tentative alliance blooms as the girls uncover the thief’s true motives: Lucifer’s emblem can unleash Armageddon and Zuri’s blood breaks the seal. Zuri’s only hope of averting the apocalypse and escaping death is to trust Miryam. But is their growing bond strong enough to overcome eons of bad blood between Fallen and Archangels?

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Twi Novella’s by Zarina Macha are two stories with compelling characters and complex subject matters. Each one is completely different from the other but has the same deep feeling about them. These books have to be some of the best young adult books I have read recently. This author has a great way of creating characters that are intriguing with a storyline to match them. I really connect with each of these girls but for entirely different reasons. Both novellas are well written and really made me think about the subject involved. This is a great collection and I would definitely recommend it for fans of this genre!

Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion Book 2) by Winnifred Tataw was an interesting read. I enjoyed the premise of the story but had trouble settling into it in the beginning but it soon picked up. The story didn’t flow as seamlessly as I would have liked but that aside it is an intriguing story. Winnifred certainly has the creativeness and the story is full of lies and heartache, hatred and fear, action and drama, broken dreams and promises, greed and war. I enjoyed the main characters and the world Winnifred has created and the uniqueness of it all.
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I should have started with the first book but did not realise that it was the second book until after I had started. I look forward to going back to the first book and continuing on from here.

It has been a year since the Reign of Ryton, the Demon king, came to a dramatic end. Leaving Rodrick to face the burdens, yet this time he is not alone. After foreseeing all the massive deaths on the horizon, Lady Death seeks out the twenty year old prince’s aid in stopping what seems like an unavoidable war.
Roderick agrees to take on this mammoth task with the help of his brother Rayden, which is also his companion, the princess Arcelia and the Queen Riva for support. But they are in for a fierce ride when they meet a tyrant and a terrorist fighting for control of a country that has suffered under their father’s reign. And here they will find betrayal and intrigue, where secrets are revealed, promises broken and trust is questioned.
What a wonderful book, it had me gripped from the beginning and the story was brilliantly addictive. The characters within the story are very unique, creating a setting that is woven beautifully within the magical and fantasy elements, but a lot of detail has been put into this, which makes it even more interesting. I loved the relationship of the brothers, you see them going through every emotion trying to stop this war, and it certainly does put their relationship to the test.
I would 100% recommend this book, it has action, fantasy, magic, betrayal’s and secrets. It has you gripped from the very beginning.

Descendants of Time and Death is the second book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw. This is my first book by Ms. Tataw, and I am regretting not reading the first book before diving into this one. While the story does make sense without having read book one- I think my reading experience would have been better if I’d known what had taken place in the first story. This is an action- packed adventure/fantasy with interesting world building and characters. Ms. Tataw has created an intricate world with unique characters, lore, culture, and beliefs. There are magic and fantasy elements, all woven around things we are more familiar with- making the story more relatable and believable. An interesting read!

Descendants of Time and Death (The God’s Scion Book Two) by Winnifred Tataw, was an interesting book. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect it sounded like a fantasy, but then there were planes in it and cell phones, but it is a fantasy but not quite what we’re used to. Usually in a fantasy the scenario is a save-the-world kind of thing and this was more like a mystery a very interesting mystery. The characters were all very compelling well described and the world was well built, it was a well-written book and the story flows along nicely. It does take a minute to become familiar with the different points of view. The story is written from the point of view of several of the characters, so it takes a bit to get used to that. Since the characters are so well described you very quickly catch on to who is speaking. Just a real good little story I can’t wait to read more of them. It’s not only a mystery it’s also a story about a dysfunctional family and forgiveness and overcoming, it’s a story makes you feel kind of good in the end.

5-Stars
Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion) by Winnifred Tataw was an excellent and exciting read. I loved the creativity behind the characters and the various settings. It was so easy for me to lose myself in this novel that several hours had gone by before I even realized it! I was amazed! I loved Rodrick’s character the most. He had so much on his plate already but seemed to handle more with ease. Having only read this book, I am curious to read book one now. I was not confused at all with this book despite it being second in the series. The author makes it easy for readers to get lost in without having read book one. The storyline had an excellent flow that kept me reading and it had great organization. It was easy to tell which character was speaking and when or when a complete section was on someone different. I loved this book and can’t wait to go back and read book one. Highly recommend it!

Big round of applause to Winnifred Tataw for another great book. Her characters are fully developed, not to mention brave and strong.The plot line keeps you wanting more and more. I did find myself screaming at my kindle. Rodrick is left to pick up the burden after the Demon King comes to an end. He is finding it quite difficult. He also is learning valuable lessons along the road. Will this be more that he can handle? What is next for Rodrick’s journey? I highly recommend this story. It is full of twists and turns and will keep you turning the pages quickly.

I really enjoyed this story. I havent read the first one and i would recommed reading the first one before this one. However it was easy enough to follow and get into even without reading the first one.
Its a great adventure of two brothers trying to stop a civil war. They need to get both sides of the story from the King and Queen and also the leader of the rebellion.
Which side will they choose and will they be able to stop the war before i even starts?
The author is great at building worlds and images of the magical characters and the worlds they live in. Very well written and gripping

5 Star Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion) by Winnifred Tataw
Descendants of Time and Death is the second book in The Gods’ Scion series by Winnifred Tataw . I’m going to be real honest I had my doubts about this book going in but man was I wrong. This book blew me out of the water and once I got started reading I couldn’t put it down till the end. Its very creative and packed full of action, secrets, broken promises, and lies. There are a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book trying to figure out what happens next. Rodrick and his brother have been sent to try and stop a war. Can these two succeed in stopping the war? There are moments I caught myself shaking my head while holding my breath. Find out what happens next in this wonderfully written story that has family ties ,secrets , some betrayal and instances where trust is broken. I highly recommend this book.i can’t wait to read more from this Author .

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw is the second book in The Gods’ Scion series. The story is jammed packed with action and adventure as we follow Rodrick and his brother in their quest to stop a monumental war. There is a great story with lots of character development and world building. Don’t worry about getting bogged down in details. The author keeps everything moving but stays on a clear path with descriptions without being confusing. A lot of thought and work went into this and it shows. Tataw has kept me reading and wanting more after finishing this adventure.

I won’t lie, this is not my usual first choice for a novel genre, but this one just seriously drew me in with this cover and a few fascinating teasers I came across for it. I decided to give it a go and I am glad that I did. This book doesn’t bog you down with an overabundance of details and drama; it keeps things actually moving fast and understandable. I loved that I was able to really enjoy the novel in a way I may not have had the chance to do so if it was overladen in details. I really enjoyed reading all about Rodrick and his sweet brother. These two will face a lot in order to stop a war and protect the ones they love. Will they make it through everything and come out safe and sound? I think this is one that I would definitely read again sometime and may check out some of the authors other novels available!

Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Two Novellas By Zarina Macha 5 out of 5 stars
The book Every Last Psycho: A Collection of Two Novellas are two tales with two very interesting main characters. The first one is Tess Davis. She is in the story Every Last Thought. Tess is a young girl who has schizophrenia triggered by the death of her twin brother. She is trying to survive, and this story tells about her downward spiral after living through a horrible trauma, as well as discovering that her best friend, Ed, who she is in love with, has a new girlfriend. Will she be able to stop the spiral? Tess is a character that I grew to like. I also liked her friend Ed. He does his best to try to help Tess no matter what. In the second story, you meet Evelyn Baxter. She is a young girl who I found to be independent, confident, and always seems to get her way. What will happen when she is not accepted into the University of Cambridge and another girl is? What is really behind the perfect mask that Evelyn wears? This is a dark tale that had me turning pages. Both of these stories take you on a journey that you will not soon forget. I know I thought about them even after I had finished the last page. This author does an amazing job of creating both storylines and characters that are unforgettable. This is a book that I would recommend reading.

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw was a good novel. It didn’t grab me like I thought it would. This is the first novel I’ve read by this author, and the reason it probably didn’t grab my attention like I wanted and confused me was probably because I haven’t read the first book in the series. I did enjoy reading this novel, I just probably should have read the first installment before I read this one. There was a great storyline and characters, just again I wasn’t pulled in like I thought I would be from the synopsis I read. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

This is a young-adult thriller book that has two short stories about two different girls. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite for sure. They are both great stories that have characters that took me on twists and turns that kept me turning pages just waiting to see what would happen next. First, Tess is a girl that suffers from schizophrenia who falls in love but she learns that her love is not reciprocated. She loses control of her life and drug induced delusions take her to another place. Will she get a grip on her life before it is too late? Then you have Evelyn who is loved by everyone. She applies for university but what happens when she doesn’t get in but another girl does will keep you turning pages to the end. Will everyone see the monster she truly is? Both stories had me sitting on the edge of my seat and had me engaged to the end. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw a five-star read worth your worship. This is number two in the Gods Scion series and I would say pick up number one if you can, but if you cant then give it a go as the author does a great job with world building and character development in this story and you really do feel part of the story, there is so much going on in this story, and I don’t want to give the secrets away so I am keeping this short and sweet, as the author does a great job of this story and you would be sorry to miss it.

A young-adult psychological drama. Suitable for ages fourteen and over.
‘Every Last Psycho’ contains two tales of two girls; ‘Every Last Thought’ and ‘Psycho Girl.’
One girl hears voices screaming in the shadows; the other burns with self-absorbed hunger.
Every Last Thought:
‘Rocking backwards and forwards; deep breaths in and out’
Sixteen year old Tess Davis suffers from schizophrenia, triggered six years ago by the onset of her twin brother’s death. She’s felt broken ever since. But when new guy Ed moved to her school two years ago, life gave her a reason to live joyously. Ed made her happy, becoming the friend she needed. But she didn’t plan to fall in love with him, and love isn’t always requited.
Distraught by Ed’s new girlfriend and a horrific trauma Tess endures, she finds herself spiraling out of control and into cocaine-fueled delusions. Will she be able to regain a grip on life?
Psycho Girl:
‘Deep inside, I feel nothing. I am nothing.’
Eighteen year old Evelyn Baxter is beautiful, confident, popular and well off. Everyone loves her; her friends, her family, her boyfriend. She is all set to apply to the University of Cambridge to study Law.
But when another girl in her year gets accepted into Cambridge and she doesn’t, Evelyn’s perfect mask starts to peel away. Murder, deceit and manipulation show Evelyn to be the monster she truly is. But will those around her realize it?
One is the victim of cruelty, the other creates it. One lives in the concrete jungle of London, the other in the suburban town of Bletchfield. Both novellas are in one binding, echoing the dark horrors within.
