Book: Death Perception Author: Lee Allen Howard Genre: Supernatural Crime Print Length: 308 pages Age Range: 16+ Tour: Blackthorn Book Tours My Rating: 4.1 / 5 ⭐ Purchase Link:   https://mybook.to/DeathPerception Blurb: “AVENGE US!” Nineteen-year-old Kennet Singleton lives with his invalid mother in a personal care facility, but he wants out. He operates the crematory at the local funeral home, where he discovers he can discern the cause of death of those he cremates—by toasting marshmallows over their ashes.

To save the residents and avenge the dead, Kennet must bring the killers to justice. My Review: Firstly, I want to acknowledge Blackthorn Book Tours for giving a copy of the book & taking me on as a member of this book's tour. OMG! The cover is so hair raising; that in itself is su...

Book: The Meeting Point Author: Olivia Lara Genre: Romantic Comedy Tour: Love Book Tours My Rating: 3.9 / 5 ⭐ Blurb: What if the Lift driver who finds your cheating boyfriend's phone holds the directions to true love? Who are you and why do you have my boyfriend's phone?' 'He left it in my car. You must be the blonde in the red dress? I'm the Lift driver who dropped you two off earlier.' And with these words, the life of the brunette and t-shirt wearing Maya Maas is turned upside down. Having planned to surprise her boyfriend, she finds herself single and stranded in an unknown city on her birthday. So when the mystery driver rescues Maya with the suggestion that she cheers herself up at a nearby beach town, she jumps at the chance to get things back on track. She wasn't expecting a personalized itinerary or the easy companionship that comes from opening up to a stranger via text, let alone the possibility it might grow into something more......

Book: Come Back To Me Author: Jody Hedlund Genre: Historical Fiction, Time Crossing, Romance Format: Mobi No. Of Pages: 352 Tours: Love Books Tours My Rating: 4.2 / 5 ⭐ My Review: It's been a long time since I read historical fiction, including time travel & romance, that's part fantasy & part actual. I usually don't read historical fiction novels, but I noticed the blurb of this one to be interesting, which made me choose it immediately. The conceptualization of the account is unique & powerful. Blending facts with fiction ain't a mean achievement! The writer has done an excellent study on the topic & it clearly shows. Adventure, thriller, magic, medicine, romance, time-travel, what more can one ask for to get weak in the knees. The characters & pictures lay such a roller coaster journey that I couldn't help but be stuck to the novel till the end! Lying in my bedroom, enclosed by all the contemporary facilities, I questioned how it would fe...

Book: What Dreams We Had Author: Phill Featherstone Publisher: Opitus Books Genre: Contemporary Fiction Format: Mobi No. of Pages: 241 Tour: Love Book Tours My Rating: 3.1 / 5 ⭐ Amazon Link:   What Dreams We Had My Review: What are dreams? Do they hold any hidden purpose that can be linked to our continuing experience? If yes, then how do we infer its significance? Can our behaviors/thoughts make any variation in how we think subconsciously through our dreams? After reading the novel, I query how my dreams must have been obtained from my actions (even though I don't retrieve them once I am up). The title was part scary & part long for me. There were some genuinely great high periods & at times, I thought, why is the account getting crawled. A contemporary fiction, encompassing five youngsters barely out of school, was composed during the prevailing pandemic that gives you tiny creeps & a lot to reflect upon. The actors seem real-like as their characteristics are...

Book: The Dark Chorus Author: Ashley Megitt Genre: Horror Suspense, Metaphysical Science Fiction No. of Pages: 241 My Rating: 4.3 / 5 ⭐ Tour: Blackthorn Book Tours Purchase Link:   The Dark Chorus My Review: Trigger Warning: Explicit Violence, Ritual Killing Never have I ever read a work based on soul restoration. I never foresaw that whenever I read one, it would have such an influence on me. The book is just wow! I would surely put it in one of the most enjoyable novels I have read this year. It gets out all the sentiments from its reader, passion, violence, misery, anxiety, joy. The writer has done the ideal amount of study on the subject & it begs attention from the readers. Though the start was a tiny bit sluggish for me (I had to learn & understand various points as it's my first experience in this genre), the narrative later got interesting. I just couldn't part with it & completed it within a day. The novel-writing is bang-on & the few grammatical...

Book: Once Upon A Time In Andaman Author: S Ashvin Genre: Fiction, Thriller, Suspense Format: Kindle My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ / 5 My Review: Once Upon A Time in Andaman is a mystery novel including loads of unknown shocks & builds one's interest with every episode. It's a magnificent story incorporating the time machine as an essential element & its following outcomes on the central protagonist's development. With only 82 pages in length, this fictional tale is action-packed & fact-paced. It has photos at the end of most chapters to give a more precise idea to the readers. The account is based in Andaman & Chennai areas & provides a good measure of information of the places. The past & present situations are explicitly set, which aids in getting the character's performances. I found it fascinating that the writer had me speculating till the end who the offender might be & what really must be occurring. Though the plot is quite different & super eng...
