Not Everything Is How It Appears

by N.R. Hall

Do you believe in fate? Well, I didn’t until her green eyes hooked onto mine and everything become technicolour. This woman will undo me, but until my last breath, I will fight for her, keep her safe no matter the cost.


Kimberly has had heartache after losing the one person who helped her through her traumatic past. Now having no-one to stand by her, she gets into a darkness she can see no way out of.


Zac is plodding through life. He has a new job in a high-end jazz bar; he is single, young but something is missing. Zac likes to run along the coast, but one evening he stumbles on someone standing on the edge of the cliff. Hoping it’s not what he thinks, he tries to talk to the person only to find it’s a woman who is very upset. He is unsure on what to do, but once he has her in his arms, he never wants to let her go

About the author

I'm so thankful I have managed to self-publish six books!
I never thought I could write a novel, let alone putting it out there for everyone to see.
I will always have self-doubt; I didn’t do well in school and I could never find my place on what I wanted to do.
I love writing. It fills my heart with so much joy that I get to write all these stories I have had in my head.
My first two books have a lot of sex in them, but that’s Katrina and Ryan’s relationship and I never going to say sorry for that. I get reading sex isn’t everyone's cup of tea. I now have Three other books which are soft romance so go and check them out.

I want to say thank you to my husband; I was scared about showing this. I wrote this for me and no-one else as I was unsure how people would take it. My husband gave me the confidence to put it out there.
I really hope people enjoy it.

Love
N.R.Hall

I love writing and when I get a new story in my head I have to write it down or I start to go mad lol
I have a loving husband and a beautiful three-year-old son. They do drive me mad every-day but I wouldn’t be me without them.
Eating chocolate and watching rubbish on tv is how I spend my evenings if I’m not writing. I’m an awful cook but I have a chef for a husband so I let him take charge lol

The title of N.R. Hall's new book, Not Everything is How it Appears, offers a good insight into sorting out this story. The reader could assume from the start, since we are in first person narrative, that we are in the head of an unreliable narrator and must keep that in mind as we read. Also, we must keep in mind that Kimberly is the first narrator, therefore; Kimberly is the main character. We may not be sure because this is the first addition of a multi book series and already warned things are not as they appear. Then following the ongoing stream of consciousness remuneration in Kimberly's anxiety riddled mind, she leads us on her journey to happiness. We meet Zac who becomes Kimberly's protector against any internal or external threats, and watch their relationship develop. At the end she makes friends with Holly, Paige, and and Abbie who are the characters in upcoming books in the series. We are left to wonder what the future holds. Something unexpected maybe?

Another romance from N R Hall, told this time from the point of view of the male, which makes a refreshing change in such stories. His female love interest, Kimberly, seems a bit OTT with the grief for her Nan at the beginning, but maybe I feel that because I never had such a close family relationship with anyone. The intensity of her feeling, and behaviour, becomes clear later, though, so give the girl a chance and keep reading. A pleasant story, all in all, with the right ending and promise of spin-off stories to come.
