Book: The Necklace

Author: Matt Witten

Publisher: Oceanview Publishing

Genre: Fiction, Thriller, Suspense

Format: NetGalley, PDF

My Rating: 4 / 5 star


My Review:

Trigger Warnings: Death of a minor girl, abuse.

To begin with, I must say that this novel actually managed to overwhelm me in bits & pieces. Some transpired to be too interesting, while some didn't make much sense. The end, where all the built-up sentiments were supposed to pop, didn't actually blast for me. The peak simply arrived & left, offering no huge impression at all.

The account is packed with emotions & parents with little kids (particularly daughters) are sure to get extra moved. The protagonist's trip assuredly wasn't easy & I had tears when reading most of the touching pieces. The past-present story-narration was a great concept by the writer & it had me hooked. The novel held a great pace from the start, explaining in detail the surroundings, character's styles & all that's needed in a fiction thriller/suspense.

The book's title is quite apt, representing the crux of the tale. It is not only the lead who's on a ride in quest of truth; the author makes sure that you too are traveling beside her, cruising by all her emotions.

I want to thank NetGalley, publisher Oceanview Publishing & author Matt Witten for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my review.

Book: Breathtaking Author: Courtney Turcotte Bond Publisher: All The Everythings Publishing My Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars "If you donate your organs, you will certainly enhance someone's life, and most likely, you will save someone's life." Review: Breathtaking, Courtney's debut novel is a marvelous piece that is motivated by real-life youngsters (the real heroes), and I am so glad that I got to read this one. Adam, Cara, and Reid, you are the cutest people, and you'll have grown to be my most beloved personalities. I covet we were buddies in actual as well. Breathtaking is regarding the ties of friendship and affection. There is an elegant fabrication of sentiments of joy, melancholy, heartbreaks, neglect, expectations, and recognition. This book, with its story, unquestionably teaches us a lot about life, nothing is constant. If there's a shadow of tribulation, there's also peace, and all take their course to emerge. This book not just m

Book: Thunder On The Moor, #1 Author: Andrea Matthews Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, Time Travel Tour: Love Book Tours Format: Mobi My Rating: 4.2 / 5 ⭐ Blurb: Maggie Armstrong grew up enchanted by her father’s tales of blood feuds and border raids. In fact, she could have easily fallen for the man portrayed in one particular image in his portrait collection. Yet when her father reveals he was himself an infamous Border reiver, she finds it a bit far-fetched—to say the least—especially when he announces his plans to return to his sixteenth century Scottish home with her in tow.

Author: Blake Pierce Rating: 4 / 5 Stars Review: Amidst the cornfields, in the nowhere lands of Nebraska, there is a woman mercilessly assassinated and strung up on a pole, almost naked, with bruises on her body. This case is investigated by Detective Mackenzie White, a 25-year-old woman, who is not only talented, but swift, and with extraordinary zeal and smartness. She is looked down upon and not taken seriously by her co-workers as well as her immediate bosses. She is struggling to keep herself together in her male chauvinist work world, the brutal murders happening around her at an entirely startling rate.

In the quest of finding the killer, Mackenzie realizes that the case is opening up the dark parts of her own personal life that she had shoved deep in her heart; failed bonds with he
