Review: “Hidden Justice”

I first saw this book on Reedsy, but it was taken by another reviewer before I got the chance. I noticed it was on promotion shortly thereafter, and decided to get it. The Premise After his daughter’s murder and his wife’s suicide, former detective Frank...

Review: “The Forsaken Children”

This book came to me via an ARC program, and I chose it because I was in the mood for something different than my usual genres. The Premise Between 1869-1932, over 100,000 children were sent from the United Kingdom to Canada and other countries through...

Review: “Unforgettable”

This is the third book I’ve read by this author, and the second from this series. After enjoying “Man Candy” and the other one in this series, “Irresistible“, I chose this one when I saw it in a newsletter promotion because I had really enjoyed...

Review: “Left For Dead”

This is the first book in awhile that I didn’t get from an ARC program or personal review request! I saw it in a newsletter and after an excellent thriller I recently read, I was in the mood for another dark thriller so I grabbed this one.

The Premise

Review: “The Silence Of Children”

A sensational thriller about vigilante justice, self-sacrifice, and the ties that bind.

This was my eleventh book I chose via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. This review also appears on Reedsy.

Review: “Inside Outside Part 2 – Black Wings: The Death Angel & A Seraph”

Another exhilarating, swift bloodlust thrill of a futuristic sci-fi romance

This was my tenth book I chose via the Reedsy Discovery program, for which I am the single approved reviewer for this new book. In this case, the author sought me out and asked me to review her trilogy, and after reading the synopsis I was intrigued.… Read more

Review: “Book Marketing Secrets”

Usually non-fiction reference books are not my genre of choice, but as an indie author and also a book reviewer, I took the opportunity to read this from an ARC program as I believed I was the target audience and was hoping to learn something useful.

The Premise

This reference guide offers a recipe for success by using examples from commercial successes by other authors, among other tactics.… Read more

Review: “Imperfect”

I read and reviewed the first in the series “Perfect” and it ended on a cliffhanger, so I decided to keep reading. Both books came to me via a book club.

The Premise

Now pregnant with FBI agent Kieran’s baby and engaged to be married to him, Seryna’s life has taken an unexpected turn.… Read more

Review: “Parvathy’s Well & Other Stories”

I first came across this author after reading her novel “A Quiet Dissonance“, and when I signed up for her newsletter I was directed to review other books she had written. I chose this short-story collection because I was in the mood for something distinctly different from what I had read from her before, but still with the enticing flavour of the cultural Indian backdrop.… Read more
