Book: Followives

Author: Irene Perali

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Followives is a novel for me, for you and for everyone especially if you are a techie. Engineers mostly have a moving job. For better career and job they oftenly have to accept opportunities in different cities or countries.

Followives is about the journey of five women who had moved to United States because of their husbands. Their husbands got good career opportunities in US which obviously they can’t deny. So, their women also decided to go to US with them. They have to leave their home in Italy behind. Their partners have different profession and ambitions.

Lonely and jobless in US, lives of these women intersected. The plot of the story is fast pace and gripping. Characters are well developed and there is no confusion between different characters. It is sad that women have to leave everything behind so they can stay with their partners. It must be much difficult for them but they always makes compromises for their loved ones. This is the first book of the author and I am definitely interested in reading the next book by her.

Book: Hungry Hearts

Author: Julie Hoag

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

Hungry Hearts is a contemporary romance fiction and Young Adult novel written by the author Julie Hoag. It is the debut work of the author. The protagonist of the story is a girl named Landra who was suffering from Anorexia i.e. eating disorder. The story is based on the real life experience of the author with this disease in her teen years.

The story is about Landra finding and falling in love in the most unexpected way. It also shows the importance of family and friends in one’s life. It gives a message to readers of not judging others as nobody is perfect.

I recommend it to contemporary romance and young adult genre fans. Cover page of the book is amazing and title is nice and related to the contents of the story. Before reading this book, I wasn’t aware of any disease related to eating disorders. I am glad that this book enriched my knowledge about it.

Book: Introspections From A Clouded Mind

Author: Jeffrey Robb

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Introspections From A Clouded Mind is a collection of poems written by the author Jeffrey Robb. This poetry collection highlights the feelings of someone suffering from trauma. A poem based on nostalgia is my favourite among the collection. Life & Regrets, Untold Stories are also nice.

Treasure these moments
I’m living in the past
Treasure these moments
I know they wont last
Remind me of those days
When dark times arrive
Remind me of those days
Of when I felt alive…

This book shows the in-depth feelings of one’s inner mind. You will feel connected to some poems as we also feel in such a way many times. It was a short read so I was able to finish it in a single sitting. I enjoyed reading these poems while sitting on my front porch with a cup of tea. Highly recommended to poetry lovers.

Cherry Trees is the second book in the Franklin Boys Story series. It takes us on the journey of two brothers Julio and Jermey. Julio is an elder brother and Jermey is a younger one. They both joined Franklin High School after moving to Franklin. Julio is very good at baseball and has a great career in baseball.

Julio’s excitement was at the peak to leave the town of Franklin and have adventures in Salt Lake City. He was called by the Giants Organization. The story is narrated from various viewpoints of Coach Jacobs, Luke Fisher, Pam Thomson, etc.

This is a wonderful book written around the baseball sports and the journey of a baseball player towards a bright career in baseball and at the same time managing his love life. It’s a great story beautifully penned down and I am now curious to read the third book in the series. Grab a copy of this book and go ahead with it.

If you are into military contemporary romance, then this book is for you. Alexander was discharged from Military with full honour and his homecoming was celebrated by his family in Buffalo. But Zander didn’t like being known as the honorable soldier. He was sad after the loss of young warrior brother and he was even wishing that instead of his warrior brother he should have died.

As it comes to his love life, the way he feels for Lily is special. He haven’t ever felt the same for his ex-fiancee Rebecca. He had betrayed Lily in the past, broke her heart. Now he says that all was done to protect Lily. What does Alexander means when he says this? Will Lily accept her again? Will they ever unite?

The plot of the story is intense. I like this part even more than the first one “Painting Her Fate”. I binge read it because I was unable to put down this book with amazing story. Characters are well developed and we witness amazing growth in the characters. It’s a must read buddies.

Tavern is the first installment in the Dargath Chronicles book series by the author Deston J Munden. Xelnath of the Gnarled Root is in multiple occupations to fulfill his goals. He was a tavern owner, healer, information broker and guildmaster of the Blackwind Company. The journey of Xel with his struggles, hope, twists, turns made this story gripping.

Book: The Baptist: Judge’s Genesis

Author: Ryan David Gerard

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Do you love reading Science fiction that has time travel in it?

We all have life that is full of pain and horror at one time, glorious and marvel at the other time. Crime and injustice has increased much. So cops are born into the world. Our protagonist cop’s name is John Revele. From his shift, the different kinds of calls related to domestic disturbance, a suspect with a knife, robbery and so on… overwhelmed him. He is a good cop that are rare these days. He wanted to save the world actually.

Jason Richter also plays an important role in the story. He was working to invent the time travel. He was even interviewed and was asked questions based on his work and time travel. Jason’s dad was proud of him when he realized the true potential of his son.

Narration of the story is smooth and clear. The plot of the story is well built and will hook you. Jason’s obsession to invent time travel is my favorite from the story. The language of the book uses rich vocabulary. This book was worth my time and I must say that I enjoyed this story a lot. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Book: Road of Bones

Author: John Ruber

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

Road of Bones is the second book that I have read from the author John Ruber. His Lavender Blue is too scary and intense. I loved it.

Road of Bones is the story of a serial killer Xander. He kills for love. He kills all the woman he love deeply to fulfill the demands of the demoness. He hated Jocelyn because she is dead and now he can never love her again. But Jocelyn wanted him to show her how much he love her.

The poetry in between the chapters was unexpected but it was nice. Please be advised that this book contains adult and scary content. The storyline is amazing and the characters are also well developed but the length of the book felt a little stretched. I recommend this to my fellow readers.

Book: Inferno Of Silence

Author: Tolu’ A Akinyemi

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Inferno Of Silence is a collection of seven short stories written by the author Tolu’ A Akinyemi. These stories are based on the societal challenges, unspoken truths, mental health, racism, etc.

The first story is “Black Lives Matter”. It is the story about a talented football player who left Nigeria and played football for the European league. He didn’t know he was black until he arrived in Europe. He faced too much discrimination due to his skin color. The ending of the story and the true Victory of the footballers with T-shirts of “Black Lives Matter” inscribed on them in the stadium was a real joy.

The short stories are written well but in some descriptions, I felt the language as hard to follow. These short stories you can enjoy one at a time each day. This is the first time that I am reading Author’s work and I found the stories unique and interesting. I will definitely recommend it to my fellow readers.
