Book: The Exquisite and Timely Death of God

Author: Andrew Shannon

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

The Exquisite and Timely Death of God by the author Andrew Shannon is a story set in 1959. The story is about the life of Four Strangers: Jacob, Ira, Mary and a strange man. Let me introduce you to these characters.

Jacob was a father of a seventeen years old daughter and he was facing so many issues in his life. Ishara had a religious upbringing and had always believed in higher power but when as she grew up, she no longer could have faith in something that doesn’t have any evidence.

Mary has an autistic son Zach and she is trying to make her marriage work. Every character has hope for a better future. Author’s writing style is something I really appreciate. However, the length of the book is much longer and I felt it little stretched. Cover page of the book is simple and title is apt. I recommend it to those who are into physiology.

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

If Stilettos Could Speak is a thriller that is full of suspense, mystery and the investigation about the missing women who leaves fancy high-heeled shoes before disappearing. The story is set in Senoia, Georgia.

In a nightclub, there was a loud pop sound and then the light went off. There was chaos and the crowd was shouting to bring the light black. When light came back, officers and Detective Garrett Sandoval arrived at the club to investigate the case. They noticed a pair of red Stilettos stood upright in centre stage under a solid beam of light.

Whatever happened just now had similarity to the past incidents when women were abducted and in all cases Stilettos were left behind.

Writing style of the author is amazing. The storyline is unique and the blurb itself caught my attention to read this book. Narration is clear and smooth and I was easily able to follow the whole story. I recommend this to mystery lovers and to those readers who have mini detective in them just like me to solve the mystery.

Book: The Franklin Boys’ Story: Blue and White

Author: Dave Mayer

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Blue and White is about the journey of two boys who lives in Aurora with their family. One day his dad came back from work and gave the bad news to the boys that the bank had relocated him to other branch and they have to move to a small town of Franklin in Southern Illinois.

Both the brothers Julio (an elder one) and Jeremy ( a younger one) became sad as they won’t be having any friends at new school to play their favourite game baseball. On moving to Franklin, their initial experience wasn’t good as people were calling them Coons. But Julio decided to ignore all the comments and asked his brother to do the same in school.

Cover page of the book is simple yet decent. The first book in the series is interesting and I have high hopes from the sequel of this now. I would recommend this book to teenagers as story is about many issues that they face.

Julio meeting Alexa and admiring her beauty made the story gripping. Alexa also didn’t belong to Franklin. She moved with her family from California when his dad got promotion. Since author himself has been a baseball coach, so story involves the brother’s love for Baseball.
