#BookReview: Poster Girl by Veronica Roth @HodderBooks
Hi everyone. Today I have a book review for you from an author familiar to me, but whom I no longer treat as an auto-buy writer. I’ve loved many books of Veronica Roth’s, but others have left me feeling let down. Here’s my review for a new book of this author’s, which I received as a Christmas present >>>
About the Book:
A fallen regime. A missing child. A chance at freedom.
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, Poster Girl is a haunting adult dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society – an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.
WHAT’S RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan – she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.
Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight’s monitoring, went on with their lives.
Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past – and her family’s dark secrets – than she ever wanted to.
My Review:
Peels back the layers of the rotten onion slowly for the reader to taste bit by bit.
I had this book on my Christmas list, and Santa delivered! … So did the author 
‘When she thinks of the time before, she thinks of the photo shoot.’ ... From this intriguing opening line, the reader is immersed fully into the life of main character Sonya Kantor. Once the darling of the Delegation, she is now imprisoned by the new regime with no way of ever getting out. Until an old enemy pays her a visit and offers a proposition.
This is one of the best dystopian novels I’ve read in a long time. And its message is totally relevant in today’s online, social-media and influencer dominated, information-gathering age. I love that this book is set after the dystopian regime, rather than as it’s happening, and the way it peels back the layers of the rotten onion slowly for the reader to taste bit by bit.
The prose is wonderful and so many lines stood out for me it’s difficult to choose just a few to show here >>>
‘Sonya’s mind often feels, to her, like clay hardened by the sun, left out too long to take a new shape.’
And …
‘The clouds covering the sun are hazy, like smoke swirling across a lit cigarette.’ … I love the imagery and observation in this line.
And …
‘Who cares about a single blade of grass when you’re standing in a field?’
And …
‘… the allure of comfort and safety is like a fishing hook through the lip, dragging a person through life.’
I could so easily have gone on and on with the pull quotes, as the author penned so many fantastic lines. The ending ties up all the threads and is well rounded and satisfying with a twist in the final quarter I did not see coming. Poster Girl by Veronica Roth gets a resounding five stars from me.
***
NOTE ON RATINGS: I consider a 3-star rating a positive review. Picky about which books I give 5 stars to, I reserve this highest rating for the stories I find stunning and which moved me.
5 STARS: IT WAS AMAZING! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! — Highly Recommended.
4 STARS: I WOULD PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER — Go read this book.
3 STARS: IT WAS GOOD! — An okay read. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it.
2 STARS: I MAY HAVE LIKED A FEW THINGS —Lacking in some areas: writing, characterisation, and/or problematic plot lines.
1 STAR: NOT MY CUP OF TEA —Lots of issues with this book.

#NewBook: Menagerie by Joan Hall @JoanHallWrites #shortstories #supernatural
Hi everyone! Today, it gives me great pleasure to host fellow author, blogger, friend, and Story Empire contributor, Joan Hall. Joan has a new book out, and I’m excited to have her over to visit so she can tell you all about it!
Thanks for hosting me today, Harmony. It’s always a pleasure to visit. I’m excited to tell you and your readers about my newest release, Menagerie. It’s a mixed-genre compilation of thirteen short stories. Today, I’ll tell the story behind Ghost Bridge. As you might guess, this one is ghost fiction.
Some of my earliest memories are when my mom would relate true stories that had happened to her or her family. I loved sitting around on a stormy night (or anytime) listening to her. Mom grew up in north Texas. At one time, her family lived near the small town of Leonard on the banks of what’s known as Bois D’Arc Creek.
Mom told of a mysterious sound of a horse pulling a carriage that could be heard at the bridge near the family home. It happened the same time every night. The story goes that many years earlier, a country doctor was killed at the bridge when his horse spooked and threw him from the carriage. Both Mom and her parents heard the sound many times.
Ghost Bridge was based on this story. Noah Stoddard is a doctor in the late 1800s who was summoned to help a young woman, Sarah Bennet, who is in labor. Unfortunately, Noah meets his demise at the bridge. A century later, Kate Moreland and her German Shepherd, Dakota, move to the old Bennett farm. Shortly after arriving, Kate begins hearing the sound of a horse and carriage each evening.
The story takes place in 1978—a time before Internet, cell phones, and instant communication. Kate is a potter who has her own studio on the farm. She meets Mitch Rafferty, who owns the local farm supply store.
Although this is a work of fiction, I drew from real-life events. My brother, who has a master of fine arts and taught for many years, also made pottery. In the late seventies, he gave up teaching for a while, returned to our small town to live, and worked in a local farm and ranch supply store.
During that time, we often had gatherings of friends at our family homeplace, complete with bonfires, cookouts, and yes, a few ghost stories. Music has always been important to me, and I mention several songs that were popular during that time. We also owned two German Shepherds.
Life was simpler then. Writing Ghost Story enabled me to relive some happy moments from those days.
Excerpt:
Kate took a sip of wine, slowly rocking the chair. Dakota lay beside her, his head resting between his front paws. He’d had a full day of exploring the fields near the house. Several minutes passed when a sound came from the direction of Sycamore Creek.
Clip, clop. Clip, clop. Clip, clop.
The creaking of wooden wheels along the gravel road followed. Kate stopped rocking to listen.
Strange. This wasn’t Amish country where people used horses and buggies for transportation. She looked in the direction of the creek. No lights. No voices. She thought anyone out at this time of the evening would have some type of light.
Dakota raised his head. His ears flickered, but he soon lay back down. Kate waited for whoever it was to come closer. A couple of minutes passed. Nothing. The sound stopped at the bridge.
Blurb:
King’s. The Tower of London. Glass. What do these have in common?
Each is a famous menagerie.
While this Menagerie doesn’t focus on exotic animals, it does contain a collection of stories that explore various trials people face and how their reactions shape their worlds.
Survivors of a haunted bridge. Women who wait while their husbands fight a war. Former partners reuniting to solve a cold-case murder.
These are just three of the thirteen stories in this compendium, encompassing past and present, natural and supernatural, legend and reality. The genres and timelines are varied, but there’s a little something for everyone who enjoys reading about simpler times and small-town life.

#BookReview: The Widow by Kaira Rouda @KairaRouda
Hi everyone. Today I have a book review for you from an author new to me, Kaira Rouda. Here’s my review >>>
About the Book:
A husband with secrets. A wife with no limits. A riveting novel of marriage, privilege, and lies by Kaira Rouda, the USA Today bestselling author of The Next Wife.
Jody Asher had a plan. Her charismatic husband, Martin, would be a political icon. She, the charming wife, would fuel his success. For fifteen congressional terms, they were the golden couple on the Hill. Life was good. Until he wasn’t.
Martin’s secret affair with a young staffer doesn’t bother Jody personally. But professionally? It’s a legacy killer. Soon a reporter gets word of this scandal in the making, and Martin’s indiscretions threaten to ruin everything Jody has accomplished.
When Martin suddenly dies, it’s a chance to change the narrative—but the reporter won’t let go of his lead. As the balance of power shifts in the Asher house and on the Hill, it’s time for Jody to take control. And there’s nothing the ruthless widow won’t do to secure the future she’s entitled to. Even if she has a secret of her own.
My Review:
An entertaining read
‘Behind every successful man is a ruthless wife who made it all happen, or so they say.’ … I loved this opening line, together with the promise in the book description of a ruthless woman who would stop at nothing to get what she wants. Unfortunately, I don’t feel the book delivered on this promise. By the end, I felt the main character had lost her way somewhat and the whole thing fell flat.
Jody Asher most certainly was manipulative and selfish, and a character I loved to hate, but once her husband died … which happened well into the story after some great build up … the whole thing unravelled. As people abandoned her and the obstacles mounted, I kept waiting for her to do something big, or at least go out with a bang, but for me, this didn’t happen, and the final quarter of the book became hard going. By the end, I wondered what the point of it all was, other than the obvious and well-known political shenanigans, that is.
All in all, an entertaining read but not one that left me wowed. I give The Widow 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 for rating purposes. If you like political dramas, and a detestable main character who’s sassy, witty, and fun in a bad way, then you’ll enjoy this read.

NOTE ON RATINGS: I consider a 3-star rating a positive review. Picky about which books I give 5 stars to, I reserve this highest rating for the stories I find stunning and which moved me.
5 STARS: IT WAS AMAZING! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! — Highly Recommended.

#BookReview: The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri @christy_lefteri @ZaffreBooks
Hi everyone. Today I have a book review for you from an author new to me, Christy Lefteri, with a heartbreaking novel about refugees fleeing Syria. I will, for sure, be reading more by this outstanding author. Here’s my review >>>
About the Book:
In the midst of war, he found love
In the midst of darkness, he found courage
In the midst of tragedy, he found hope
The Beekeeper of Aleppo
What will you find from his story?
Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo–until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. But what Afra has seen is so terrible she has gone blind, and so they must embark on a perilous journey through Turkey and Greece towards an uncertain future in Britain. On the way, Nuri is sustained by the knowledge that waiting for them is Mustafa, his cousin and business partner, who has started an apiary and is teaching fellow refugees in Yorkshire to keep bees.
As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all–and, perhaps, this is the hardest thing they face–they must journey to find each other again.
Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling.
My Review:
An Incredibly Moving Story of Endurance, Survival, and Triumph
‘I AM SCARED OF MY WIFE’S eyes. She can’t see out and no one can see in.’ … from this powerful and haunting opening line, we live and breathe with Nuri as he and his wife, Afra, embark on a terrible journey, both outwardly and inwardly. The book switches back and forth from a B & B in the south east of England and Aleppo, then various places on this courageous husband and wife’s journey as refugees fleeing the horrors of Syria.
While this is a difficult read at times, it is also beautiful and inspiring. A must read that will stay with me for a long time to come. The book deals with painful issues such as the loss of a child and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, amongst other things. It does so sensitively and balances this with moments of quiet joy and hope, as well as the power of friendship and the kindness of strangers. The writing is superb, and here are some lines which stood out for me …
‘The painting, and its measly river, reminds me of struggling to stay alive.’
And …
‘… the lust and greed that crackled through his phlegm when he spoke, almost hidden, but not quite.’
And …
‘I move back so that I can look at her – sadness and memories, love and loss, blooming from her eyes. I kiss her tears, I taste them, I swallow them. I take in everything that she can see.’
The writing is so moving and beautiful, I struggled to choose just a few pull quotes to share with you. Christy Lefteri did such a fantastic job, I believed I was listening to Nuri tell his tale rather than reading a book written by a female author. I cannot recommend The Beekeeper of Aleppo or Christy Lefteri highly enough. Go and read this book! As you may have guessed, this gets a resounding 5 stars from me, and I would give it 10 stars if I could.

#NewBook: The Last Drive by John Howell @HowellWave #ParanormalFiction #MysteryThriller
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. It gives me immense pleasure to welcome friend, author, blogger, and fellow Story Empire contributor to my place today so he can tell us all about his latest book! Grab your favourite beverage and snack and sink into a comfy seat while John shares his good news …
I am so pleased to be with you today, Harmony. I want to thank you for helping to spread the word about The Last Drive. As a writer, editor, and poet I can imagine you have had some works more or less sneak up on you. This book could be labelled the surprise. I had no intention of writing a sequel to Eternal Road. In fact, I pretty much put the thought out of my head until the characters started calling me collect with story ideas. So, what is an author to do but give in to the demands of those who were created in the author’s imagination in the first place. Yes, I gave in and the end result is what we are discussing today. [Oh, yes! I can sympathise all too well with those pesky characters who refuse to leave you in peace. I have to confess, I’m delighted they pestered you!]
Here is the blurb and then we can get to a short excerpt from the book.
The Blurb:
In the sequel to Eternal Road – The final stop, Sam and James are reunited to look for two souls, Ryan and Eddie. Ryan was killed in Afghanistan, trying to avoid a schoolyard with his crippled plane. Eddie Rickenbacker, Ryan’s hero, is to guide Ryan to his Eternal Home, and now both are missing.
The higher-ups believe that there has been some interference in Ryan and Eddie’s journey by Lucifer, so Sam and James have the task of finding Ryan and Eddie to get them back on the road despite the evil interference. Unfortunately, the machinations designed to prevent Ryan and Eddy from completing their journey take the pair to horrifying testing grounds. The places visited represent the best work of the Devil. They are the trenches of World War I in France, gladiators at the Roman Coliseum, the sinking Titanic in 1912, Hiroshima 45 minutes before the bomb, and the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943.
This book is for you if you like plenty of action, strong characters, time travel, and a touch of spiritual and historical fiction. So, join Sam and James as they try to find the missing souls while staying one step ahead of the Prince of Darkness, who is determined to destroy all that is good.
An Excerpt:
The Archangel waves his hand. “Whatever. The important point is Ryan and the guide disappeared from that game, and we have not heard from either since.”
“That game happened in sixty-seven. It could be the two are still in that year.”
The Archangel folds his hands and lays them on his lap. “I need you to go there, Sam, and try to locate the guide and Captain Sanders.”
“Who’s the guide? Do I know him?”
“I’m not sure you do. His name is Rickenbacker.”
Sam stands. “Eddie Rickenbacker? The famous airman?”
“Yes, I believe so.” The Archangel shuffles through the papers again. “Yes, it is Eddie Rickenbacker. Sanders had a hero-worship thing about Rickenbacker, so we selected him to escort Ryan down the Eternal Road. I hope Eddie is not the problem.”
Sam settles back into her chair. “No, I’m sure he’s not the issue. Eddie would make a good guide. Lucifer is behind this.”
“Really?”
Sam sits forward. “May I speak my mind, Sir?”
“Of course, my child.”
“I’m surprised God and yourself don’t keep track of this kind of thing.”

#BookReview: Well Behaved Wives by Amy Sue Nathan @AmySueNathan
Hi everyone. Today I have a book review for you from an author new to me, Amy Sue Nathan, with a domestic drama set in the 1960s. Here’s my review >>>
About the Book:
Perfect wives, imperfect lives, and upending the rules of behavior in 1960s America.
Law school graduate and newlywed Ruth Applebaum is acclimating to life and marriage in a posh Philadelphia neighborhood. She’ll do almost anything to endear herself to her mother-in-law, who’s already signed up Ruth for etiquette lessons conducted by the impeccably accessorized tutor Lillian Diamond. But Ruth brings something fresh to the small circle of housewives—sharp wit, honesty, and an independent streak that won’t be compromised.
Right away Ruth develops a friendship with the shy Carrie Blum. When Carrie divulges a dark and disturbing secret lurking beneath her seemingly perfect life, Ruth invites Lillian and the Diamond Girls of the etiquette school to finally question the status quo.
Together they form an unbreakable bond and stretch well beyond their comfort zones. For once, they’ll challenge what others expect from them, discover what they expect from themselves, and do whatever it takes to protect one of their own—fine manners be damned.
My Review:
A Historical Issue Still Relevant Today, Sadly
‘Well-behaved women seldom make history.’ — I love this opening book quote by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.
From the blurb and the opening quote, I expected a woman who trail blazed her way to forcing change. This isn’t that kind of story. Rather, it’s a quiet, slow read that shows how effective persistence can be. Late in the book, I loved one of the character’s acts of ‘quiet’ defiance. It was the wife’s job to be the husband’s memory (thank goodness hubby doesn’t have to rely on my memory! ha ha), and instead of feeding him the information as she would normally, this character kept telling him, ‘I don’t know’ until he got the message she wasn’t pleased. Loved it!
The characterisation was a bit flat, and the pacing glacial at times, also the writing tends toward passive with filler and filter words in abundance–hence a soft four stars rather than five. Other than that, there were so many things I loved about this read. This gives an accurate portrayal of life for women in the 60s, and sadly, reflects many issues still prevalent today–especially victim blaming.
Here are some lines that stood out for me …
‘To the neighbors, to family, even to wives who should have known better, life fit Lillian like a beautiful dress all the girls envied—but it itched to high heaven underneath.’
And …
‘Discontent choked her far more than any smoke could.’
And …
‘… if a man says something, people believe him. When a woman says something difficult, she’s hormonal, pregnant, or hysterical.’
If you enjoy historical fiction and domestic dramas, you’ll enjoy this book. I’ll be checking out more novels by this author.
