Review: Beyond the Mist

Beyond the Mist Beyond the Mist by Casi McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book two in the Lake Lanier Mysteries series.

A secret portal hidden in Atlanta’s Lake Lanier has Nick tempting fate and goes back in years. Can he change the future?

I really liked Piper and Nicks story. It’s not an easy read, not one of those I could blitz through but I thought it was a great read.

Beyond the Mist is a time travel novel. Not my usual kinda read but I enjoyed it anyway.

The Rules of Burken - new release



NEW RELEASE

“This book captured me from the start! The Rules of Burken reveals the chilling secrets behind a childhood game, and I’ve never been more disturbed by what the human mind can do.”
--Colleen Hoover, New York Timesbestselling author


The Rules of Burken, an all-new thriller packed with secrets, lies and a dangerous game from Traci Finlay, is available now!

Twenty-four-year-old Charlotte Stahl would do anything for her older brother, Ian. After all, he’d done everything for her growing up.

He played Burken with her—a hide-and-seek game they made up as kids.

He comforted her when their mom deserted them.

He raised her when their dad went to prison for murder.

To Charlotte, Ian is the only reason she’s still alive—he’s her rock. So when Ian asks her to play Burken in the isolated woods of Cadillac, Michigan, Charlotte feels she could use the nostalgia and agrees. Besides, they haven’t played this game since childhood. Burken—it’s the one thing that never changes …

…until Ian threatens to kill her in the middle of the game.

More than the rules have changed as Brother turns to Predator, Sister turns to Prey, and she’s navigating the forests of Northern Michigan on foot with nothing but the clothes—and a target—on her back.

If Charlotte wants to stay alive, she knows she has to untangle the web of her haunting past to find out where things went wrong, and at what point she lost sight of reality. With no other choice but to reopen old wounds—and with Ian hot on her trail—Charlotte learns that sometimes evil has to manifest in order for good to succeed. Which makes her wonder…

Is Ian really a monster? Or her savior?

MY REVIEW

Wow. What a story. I’m really not sure how to write a review on this story. 

As children Charlotte and her brother made up a game called Burken. Grown up now Ian wants to play the game again. Charlotte now finds herself running from him in. A dangerous game of Burken. 

This is an intriguing twisted fast paced read that I highly recommend. 

I rarely re read as there is so much books out there but I’ll certainly be re reading this gem. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Review: Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus

Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus by Sue Wickstead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My friends five year old daughter absolutely loved this book. When it arrived I read it through with her. We talked about the pictures as we went along. A few days later when she was visiting again she asked my seventeen year old son to read it with her. Again the story was read to her while she gave feedback on the pictures.

Since then my friends daughter has picked the book up every time she has been over. She has been doing well spelling out the words for herself. In fact I had a real proud moment when I heard her trying to read and explain the story to a two year old ( she actually did very well).

This was and still is a great read. I doubt it will stay long on my bookcase as it seems to be read quite a bit and enjoyed. Good storyline that catches children’s attentions. The illustrations are very good. Highly recommend this read for your little ones.

Review: Dark Sky Island

Dark Sky Island Dark Sky Island by Lara Dearman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve not read book one of this series but I’ll definitely wanna go back and read it as I really enjoyed this story.

This story is based on an island called Sark, a dark island where there are no street lights or cars.

Detective Michael Gilbert and journalist Jennifer Dorey find themselves on Sark with Micheal investigating a skeleton been found and Jennifer getting the story.

I’ve got to admit I was fascinated about this island and actually googled it. Yes it’s a real place. Am looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Although I thought this was slow to start with I found this to be a well written murder mystery.

Review: Praying for Rain

Praying for Rain Praying for Rain by B.B. Easton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a brilliant start to the Praying for Rain Trilogy.

Wes and Rain. What a story. Three days until the predicted apocalypse Rain isn’t afraid of dying. Wes on the other hand looks at it differently.

This author has a real talented flair for words. Her description in the story is so good it brings the story to life.

This is a genre I don’t read. I’m not even sure what I was thinking when I joined this tour. All I can say is this authors name speaks for itself hence I read this story.

I’m so looking forward to reading more of this trilogy.

Wrong Way Home - new release



NEW RELEASE

Exclusive to Amazon and Available to Borrow with Kindle Unlimited

Length: 70,000 words approx.

Cover Design: Natasha Snow

Blurb

— ONE WRONG TURN. ONE RIGHT MAN. —

Colin. Rule-follower. Future doctor. Witness to murder. Captive.
Taron. Survivalist. Mute. Murderer. Captor.

Like every other weekend, Colin is on his way home from university, but he’s taunted by the notion that he never takes risks in life and always follows the beaten path. On impulse, he decides to take a different route. Just this one time. What he doesn’t realize is that it’s the last time he has a choice.
He ends up taking a detour into the darkest pit of horror, abducted by a silent, imposing man with a blood-stained axe. But what seems like his worst nightmare might just prove to be a path to the kind of freedom Colin never knew existed.

Taron has lived alone for years. His land, his rules. He’d given up on company long ago. After all, attachment is a liability. He deals with his problems on his own, but the night he needs to dispose of an enemy, he ends up with a witness to his crime.

The last thing Taron needs is a nuisance of a captive. Colin doesn’t deserve death for setting foot on Taron’s land, but keeping him isn’t optimal either. It’s only when he finds out the city boy is gay that an altogether different option arises. One that isn’t right, yet tempts him every time Colin’s pretty eyes glare at him from the cage.

*

“When Taron looped the heavy metal collar around the slender neck and closed the padlock, his body throbbed with the excitement of knowing he owned this boy.
Was it wrong? Yes, yes it was.
Was it so, so good? Definitely.”

Gluttony - new release



NEW RELEASE

Money is my legacy, but I want something money can’t buy.
I am Baxter Samuel Goddard V.
I am Gluttony. 


GLUTTONY BY K. WEBSTER
AN ELITE SEVEN IS LIVE!
Keep reading to grab your copy & to enter to win a $20 gift card!!! 

My life has been served to me on a gold platter to be devoured by my silver spoon. 

Money, money, and more money. It’s the backbone of the Goddard name. I’m the only son, so it’s all mine for the taking. 

But sometimes money isn’t enough. I always want more, yet nothing seems to satisfy me.

My father has made sure I become a part of The Elite Seven. Where most candidates are chosen, I was given my place. Everything comes at a price, though. Luckily, I can afford any price—no one has more money than God. 

The Elite Seven have their initiations. My assignment is personal and beneath me: steal a car and send a warning. It’ll hurt my best friend in the process, but we both made a pact going into this. There’s no line we won’t cross.

My task makes an ugly turn and I nearly take a life. Such a small, unimportant person—someone no one would even notice was gone. She’s a problem my money and power can easily sweep under the rug. 

It’s what my father wants. It’s what my brothers want. But when she finally opens those big, innocent brown eyes, I realize I’ve found what I’ve been searching for my entire life. I don’t want my little problem to disappear…I want to keep her. 

Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak—they’re for The Elite. 

Money is my legacy, but I want something money can’t buy.
I am Baxter Samuel Goddard V.
I am Gluttony. 

MY REVIEW


Gluttony is book five in The Elite Seven series. Make sure you read the stories in order. This series is a must read.

The Elite Seven
7 AUTHORS.
7 STORIES.
7 DEADLY SINS.



Since 1942, The Elite Seven Society have created and guided influential leaders, molding the country into something better. This society was birthed by Malcolm Benedict, II who wanted more for Americans.  More wealth. More influence. More power. Some leaders have the skills, but not the influence, and that simply wasn’t fair according to Mr. Benedict. He invested his own money and time to construct a society that bred the best of the best, year after year.
But to be the best, you must be ruthless.
Good leaders make sacrifices.  Sometimes the sacrifices are hard, but the rewards are plentiful.  Mr. Benedict made sure to indulge these leaders with their utmost desires.  A devout Catholic himself, he designed a society that rewarded his leaders with the sins that were frowned upon.  If they were giving up love and happiness and joy for the betterment of the country, they deserved something in its stead.
Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
Choosing leaders for this society means that it takes intense focus.  Only seven are to be selected, and the investments and time are showered upon the new seven chosen every four years.  The predecessors of each group of seven choose people who fit the sin that will mold them into who they are needed to be in the future—what America needs them to be.  This is after a detailed study of many potential candidates. The university’s acting dean behaves as a liaison for the society bringing the college applicants to the predecessors so that the selection may begin.  The society members who are going out will bring forth a candidate that the society votes on and approves.
After they are chosen, the initiates are given a token and an invitation to initiation.  The initiation will be a test to their character and ability to do what’s right for the betterment of the society.  Once the initiates pass their test, they are discreetly branded with the mark of the society and are groomed through challenges during the course of their elite education to breed them into the influential people they were meant to be.
Once in The Elite Seven, there is no getting out. The money and power are their rewards. Should they choose to stray or break the rules, the society strips them of everything.  Anything they once had will be removed. Opportunities will never arise. They will no longer have the support of the society. To this day, there have been no known occurrences of anyone from the society having to be banished.  This elite group of people is what every young man and woman aspire to be a part of. While the group is a secret society, they are whispered about amongst the privileged folks in the country. Anyone who is anyone knows of the group and secretly hopes it’s their son or daughter who is selected, for good fortune is showered on the family for decades to come.

📚Blurb📚
Don’t cry, little girl. Daddy will forgive you.

The job was meant to be impossible, even for the Cavalieri Della Morte.
Kill Adelmo Lange, the reclusive crime boss who murdered my brother.

Until her. Adelmo's daughter.

Branwen has taken a vow of silence to atone for her sins, but I don’t need her to say a word.
She’s the bait that’s going to draw my target out.

Now she’s going to swear another vow. A vow of obedience. To me.

Together, we’re going to take down her father. If she does exactly what I tell her, she may even escape with her life.

Do as daddy says.

MY REVIEW

This is book two in the Cavalieri Della Morte series. These are interconnected standalone. I do recommend you read them as they are so good. Book one Beautifully Brutal is already out and we don’t have to wait too long for the other books. 

Geraint is a fabulous character. Don’t get me wrong.. he’s dark and bad but I loved some of the stuff that came out of his mouth lol 
His next job is to kill Adelmo Lange. Not too hard of a job for him except he hadn’t taken into consideration who his daughter is.

Branwen is a great character. Although she’s taken a vow of silence she is still portrayed as a strong character which I liked. 

This was a super good read. Not a read for everyone but I do love my taboo reads. Can’t wait to read more of this series and I’ll definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
