Genre: Adult | Fiction | Psychological Thriller | Romance

5 out of 5 stars!

Sophia has clearly suffered a traumatic event, her behaviour shows it. Trying to pull herself together through the nightmares while a dark male figure with a blurry face follows her around. She’s doing the exact opposite! Sophia is hiding more and more, running from those around who love her.

Arti has written an enthralling psychological thriller with The Colours of Denial. Arti’s writing is absolutely stunning, so detailed. While reading you can’t only picture the scenes in your mind but you can almost smell the scents as well. My one very minor flaw was the story jumps back and forth between different time settings and I found the transitions to be a bit choppy and confusing. This was a read that I needed minimal interruptions throughout or I would find myself having to go back to see what I missed or where I got lost. Although, the quick transitions and jumping all over the place went really well with Sophia, the character herself. Her mind was all over the place, playing tricks on her, absolutely scrambled. So Arti’s wiring style along with these scenes made you feel as if you were in Sophia’s head and experiencing this confusion yourself. This is why I say it was only a minor flaw for me in the story as it all comes together and puts you in the shoes of the character.

The ending of this story will surprise you. I had my predictions, I was bouncing back and forth between two of them but had no clue which way it would go or if I was even correct until the very end. Arti will also have you wondering who this dark male figure is following Sophia around until the very end. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat needing to know, wanting those answers.

I will be honest while I started reading The Colours of Denial I thought I was going to be giving this read a solid 4 out of 5 stars but with the ending and the Arti’s incredible writing style in the end it was an honest 5 out of 5 stars.

A brilliant psychological thriller!

I look forward to what Arti releases in the future!

COMING THIS MONDAY JULY 27, 2020! MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

I am blown away! Take What You Can is Heather Gavin’s debut novel! This is why I love reading, there is so much talent in the world.

Paige is this well behaved, shy, gullible, keep to herself type of lady. (That is of course until she meets Fredrick).

Fredrick is this mysterious, dark, yet alluring handsome young man that all girls could fall for.

The supporting characters in this story… Josh, Leah, Luke, Dan, Melissa, Connor, Jason, Kelly and Paige’s father are so well done. If you are a reader drawn to character driver stories, Take What You Can is definitely for you. BUT! It doesn’t stop there! Take What You Can is packed full of drama, excitement and action. So…if an exciting story line is your cup of tea, well than Take What You Can is the perfect read for you too!

The splash of romance was just the right amount and every bit mysterious and puzzling. Paige had this gravity pull to Fredrick, she just couldn’t get enough. Yet Fredrick was closed off, guarded and wouldn’t come out honestly to Paige on what his true feelings were or what he wanted from her.

The only reason I removed one star from my rating is when it came to new situations Paige was in, something bad would happen and yet Fredrick was always there to save the day. Although this did highlight Fredrick’s character showing how protective he was over Paige and how mysterious he really was. I found it a little unnatural on how often this scenario would hit. I know so many people would disagree with me and a younger adult would absolutely love this aspect and would tell me that Paige was in some of those situations simply because she got intertwined with Fredrick and his friends. I would 100% agree and I know this was Heather’s meaning for the characters. I just found it a bit repetitive. This was such a SMALL, SMALL thing to me and doesn’t stop the fact that I absolutely LOVED this read and would highly recommend it!

Honestly! If this is Heather’s debut novel, I can’t wait to see what else she brings into the book world and I most definitely can’t wait for book two.

Thank you so much Heather for sending me an ARC to read and review. It means so very much to me.

4 out of 5 stars!

A great young adult fantasy with a unique concept.

Now a days it’s truly difficult for authors especially when writing in a heavily popular genre and reading age. Finding something unique to the story, something to keep the reader engaged and wanting to read on. Almost every story has been written; so what can an author do to set it aside from other fantasy reads, to make sure it’s not just a clone of the book it sits next to on the shelf. M.L. Greye found a way with Of Rioters & Royals.

At first I thought “Hm… eye color determines your abilities?….So blue is this and brown is that…?” Man was I wrong. M.L. went into a bit more detail than just one color. Even the flecks of different colors in your eyes can choose a mix of abilities .. all depending on how many colors you have blended into those eyes of yours. This concept pulled me right in! I couldn’t help but want to know the characters and what abilities they may have been blessed with.

The story started off with destruction; the world felt a lot like what we are dealing with in today’s life. Sickness, disease, isolation, rationing, desperation and more. The only tiny, slight problem I had with this read was the story started out with chaos and than slowed right down until we got closer to the ending where it started to pick up again.

Now I understand world building is crucial for an author! Introducing their readers to this world they have created (especially when its a series, not a stand alone) the first book or two is the authors chance to set the world up, introduce the characters and this can tend to slow the pace of the read down. This being said, it didn’t take away from the read or make it bad in any way. I just wanted a bit more buzz.

Emory and Declan are fantastic characters! I love how Declan is out to betray Emory but finds out that it may not be as easy as he planned and Emory may have an idea of exactly what is going on. Their connection in the story is something to cherish. As the story goes they become closer, more connected and in ways that they could never have expected. Of Rioters & Royals is pretty romance heavy and rightfully so. If romance is not your thing, you may not enjoy this read. Although I say it’s still worth giving it a go since there is so much more to the story and you may just devour it.

Thank you so very much to M.L. Greye for sending me an e-copy to read and review. I look forward to seeing where their story goes from here in book two.

5 out of 5 stars!

Brilliant world building!

I’ll be upfront and say I have not read many books written in a medieval setting and I now know I need to read more! JP Harker’s exciting read Wildcat has brought this to my attention.

Right from the first page I was sucked into this exciting world filled with powerful characters. Wildcat gives you a little taste of everything… from vicious, life sucking battles to love and deceit you never know what will come next. You may even find some taking the lives of their very own loved ones.

JP Harker’s writing is captivating! The battle scenes are so detailed and vivid it really sets the picture in your mind. His characters are so engaging you can’t help but love them all and I’m not just talking about the protagonists, the supporting characters are also intriguing.

Rhia’s story line has a connection to the modern day. She struggles wanting to be fighting along side her people but also with wanting to start a family of her own and keeping her children safe. I saw this as today’s working Mom’s who love the idea of being home with their kids all day but have that urge, that want to be out in the working world. Rhia’s challenged throughout the whole story, she’s put through tick and thin and still she pulls through somehow. Memories and people linger with her, impacting so many of her future life decisions. She truly is a stunning character.

I can’t wait to get my hands on the next two completed books in the saga (#2 Leaping Wolf, #3 Lion Cub). Book #4 is currently in the works!

If you are a fan of medieval type reads with a mix of romance among many other things. I would highly recommend picking up book 1: Wildcat, see what you think.

Thank you very much to JP Harker for sending me a copy to read and review. I am now a new dedicated fan to his work and I am excited to see what else he comes out with in the future.

The Beast of Bodmin was absolutely hair-raising!

Edmondson had me hooked from the very first page.

Thrillers are my jam!… but putting a spin on it like this, man or beast? What a ride! Knowing a murderer was on the loose was nerve wrecking enough. Not knowing if it was human or some hungry animal had you at the edge of your seat.

Not only is Mark’s writing so easily devoured but the story and characters were executed perfectly. Your main character, Jo had already been through so much which only made her stronger, while also showing her vulnerable side. Although Jo is about to go through SO much more! This creates the perfect protagonist for the reader. Someone you can truly relate with and start to gain some type of emotions for, causing you to become a bit anxious to see if Jo survives in the end.

The characters that surrounded and supported Jo were also so lovely. This novel is truly character driven in the best way possible.

I found myself constantly trying to crack the case while reading, getting into the true mindset of a detective. At times I truly felt I had figured out exactly who or what was committing these murders. Just as I got to that point there was a large plot twist! This was the real gem of this story! … The Beast of Bodmin never got boring!

This will be a favourite of mine for years to come.

Thank you so much Mark for sending me a copy.

Mark did not request that I review his book but of course I wanted to! So many great things to say.

Can’t wait to see what Mark Edmondson comes up with next!

10 out of 5 stars! (Yes it’s that good)

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

The Moments Between is positively memorising!

Let me start by saying I have been an enormous fan of Natalie’s work for a couple years now. I have read nearly all of her published pieces and dare I say…I think this is her best yet. That comment alone says it all.

The Moments Between is an incredible concept and Natalie executed it perfectly. Truly gripping, yet notably warming. This is a novel you won’t want to put down but will also be terrified to see how it ends.

We’ve all experienced nightmares before but Claire’s nightmare goes beyond a sleepless night! Claire is constantly living in panic, desperate to find a way to keep her husband alive. This would be torment for anyone, let alone a mom of young kids. You will experience a explosion of multiple emotions throughout. One moment you will be in awe of the charming, incredibly relatable characters and the wonderful life they live. Next you will be holding your breath, pleading that everyone is safe.

If reading about this extraordinary family wasn’t enough, this story is packed full of strong underlining messages. For example; Claire and her sister are extremely different women, one is constantly infuriated by the other while also admiring her beauty. While the other is flat out jealous of the others life in a whole. This is where the message of “the grass is always greener on the other side” comes in. As they work through their differences it creates a stronger bond between the two that is so enjoyable. Claire also experiences such gut wrenching fears that leads her to ask a question that I am sure so many of us had wondered before “if God exists, why does he allow bad things to happen?”

I can’t help but feel that the positive moments throughout this read may be a tiny sneak peak into Natalie’s true life story.

Honestly I could go on and on with my thoughts of this book. You just need to read it! Perhaps this is the perfect read to end 2019 off with.

Thank you so much Natalie for sending me a e-copy to review. I cant help but devour everything you write. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

4 out of 5 stars

At first I wobbled between a 3.5 stars and a 4.

In the end this read struck me in a way and I knew it deserved the 4… and I will tell you why.

Kimi Eisele had a fantastic concept and she executed it perfectly.

This was unlike any post apocalyptic novel I have read before. Please keep in mind I am use to the fast pace, disease wiping out the world, zombies, evil humans struggling to survive and willing to do anything needed to do so….

thumbnail_IMG_2812 The Lightest Objects In The Universe was different. It was a bit of a Showing the power of love even in the darkest of times.

A perfect balance of both plot and character growth throughout this read. The relationships that existed prior to this angry flu and the relationships that grew during the story were memorable. You meet so many different characters, each one unique in their own way.

That being said, while reading this you need to be on the ball. Kimi introduces so many different side characters, while bouncing back and forth between Carson, Beatrix and also some moment glimpses into their lives prior to this epidemic. If you miss an important moment or a character introduction it may confuse you. So pay attention!

If you are a lover of any post apocalyptic, dystopian, science fiction reads than give The Lightest Object In The Universe a go. It may be different then what you are use to but I don’t think it will disappoint.

Aspiring’s premise is extremely intriguing. The moment I read the synopsis I was interested.

Astrid’s writing is very crisp, clean and flows smoothly. Making this a pleasant, easy read. The characters are described perfectly, well rounded and with great back stories. The amount of plot vs dialog is distributed perfectly throughout.

All around, well written

Unfortunately the execution of this story fell short for me.

After reading the synopsis which starts with “A coven of witches plots to over throw a kingdom” I was expecting an action pact read, with a splash of romance…which was not the case.

I found this story was almost confused on whether it was meant to be a fantasy story full of evil witches with one to stand in their way, or a full on light romance.

It started off great with Elisabeth finding out she has powers herself, while her mother was fighting for her life on her unfortunate death bed. Elizabeth knowing she is untrained and needs to learn how to use and control her powers. This had me fully invested as a reader! Until the part where she is receiving the proper training is grazed over and the story becomes her and her crush showing and admitting their lover for each other.

I personally was looking for that witchy adventure and excitement that the synopsis promised… not receiving the true thrill until the end of the book.

Now, that being said. I know this is not a stand alone novel. There will be a sequel and I am sure not only the characters but the plot will thicken as it goes. But with such a strong synopsis tied to this first novel I was expecting more from this story. Which could put off any reader from picking up the second books, expecting the lack-luster of action to be carried on to the sequel.

Please keep in mind these are my own opinions. I am not dragging this lovely author by any means. As mentioned, her all around writing was absolutely fantastic.

Where something may not have been what I was expecting, doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it yourself.

I don’t know how many times I have read or seen a negative book review, still held interested, picked up the book and absolutely adored it.

Aspiring may be your perfect cup of tea!

And of course thank you all for reading.

The Black Orchids is chilling, yet sweet.

Ellie’s past is haunting her! You can feel the terrifying memories radiating off the page. Yet her present is full of positive vibes, with new friends and a potential love.

I am honestly shocked that this is Ishita’s debut novel!

It was fantastic! Covering both your dark and eerie while having a light, fluffy side as well. The writing was crisp and smooth making it a delightfully easy read.

Keeping you on your toes. Wanting to know who or what the figure hiding in the shadows is!

I love supporting indie authors and would most definitely recommend this read!

And of course thank you all for reading.

Jack’s life couldn’t be more ideal. Great job, new home and the perfect fiance.

Anastasia’s been flushed to the dark, hiding from the world in the shadows, after a ghastly accident.

What would happen if these two connected?

The Silhouette has a Phantom of the Opera vibe, which of course I was completely digging.

This Lovecraftian romance will pull you in.

Jack is such a kind-hearted soul. Obviously why he is living his best life possible.

Anastasia was dealt such an unfair hand in life. Again, she has such a soft, loving soul. Seeing her feel the need to hide from the world is heart breaking.

Jack was meant to meet Anastasia. He wouldn’t stop caring, he wouldn’t give up on her. He knows Anastasia needs to stop hiding and start living her life again. The relationship these characters develop is extraordinary and truly inspiring.

The meaning of beauty truly runs deeper then skin.

The Silhouette is a fast, easy read. Packed with love able characters… and some so not love able.

William’s writing is exceptional, you won’t be able to stop reading.

The Silhouette will become a craving. Needing to know exactly what happened to Anastasia and how extensive her injuries are.

Another incredible masterpiece by an indie author.

Looking forward to future work by William Ray Middleton!

And of course thank you all for reading.
