Rune of Revenge

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Rune of Revenge 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Bjorn Leesson ✍️

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Rune of Revenge by Bjorn Leesson is the fourth installment in the Outside the Thalsparr series. The story opens with Ingrid Stone-Splitter forced to witness the bodies of her dearest friend, Myrgjol the Dokkrsdottir, and Myrgjol’s daughter Hildr, tossed carelessly into a pile.

Now in her late fifties, Ingrid longs to continue pursuing the peaceful life envisioned by Myrgjol—both for herself and in honor of her fallen friend. She is stunned to discover Myrgjol’s son, Hralf. Memories surface of her father, Harald, who once ruled Dyrhagi as Jarl alongside his brother Orin. Their lives changed when Halvar, a man from another part of Scandinavia, arrived—bringing with him an unsettling darkness that spread through their village. Harald was slain by unknown assailants, Orin was left blinded and crippled, and Halvar seized the throne.

Determined to find her own path, Ingrid considers traveling north. Her plan is to blend in with the Vikings and secure passage elsewhere. Hralf shares with her a striking revelation: on his deathbed, Brother Bildwyne spoke of Myrgjol living in another place and another time.

Leesson’s writing style is clear and engaging, making this book a joy to read. Ingrid’s character is beautifully developed, and the storyline kept me hooked from beginning to end. I am eager to see where the series goes next.

The I Lie

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The I Lie 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Babe’s life shifted dramatically—from feeling empty and purposeless to being caught up in one dramatic event after another. Trinity, however, is firm: she doesn’t want Babe bringing home any more children.

Lachlan Taylor had just graduated, and her father gifted her a celebratory week at the Isla Bella Resort in the Florida Keys. She was joined by her friend Chandler, who unfortunately had a knack for causing trouble and attracting danger with her reckless behavior.

When Lachlan’s family didn’t hear from her for two days during the trip, her uncle Jarvis grew deeply concerned about his niece. As night fell, Lachlan and Chandler found themselves lost at sea. Thankfully, with Babe’s help, Javier was able to bring Lachlan home safely. Still, many wondered how Lachlan could remain friends with someone like Chandler. Her worries only grew when Chandler disappeared with a man from the resort’s front desk.

The story truly gained momentum once children began going missing. The author’s descriptive style and smooth narration kept the tension high while introducing us to even more engaging characters. Through it all, Babe stood out as my favorite character in the series. The author has done a remarkable job—this series is well worth continuing without hesitation.

The Impostor Lie

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Impostor Lie 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Corinne Arrowood ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
The Impostor Lie by Corinne Arrowood is an intense read from beginning to end. The story follows Babe and Trinity, with Chancée making a striking presence. At eight pounds eleven ounces, Chancée is a big baby for tiny Trinity. Trinity has no memory of her past life. Babe often visits the hospital to spend time with Chancée.

Trinity remembers fragments, and for what she cannot recall, Babe steps in to fill the gaps. Yet, this is painful for him—this Trinity is not the woman he once fell in love with. She doesn’t know about Babe’s boys and even calls him Vic instead of Babe. The weight of this change takes its toll on him. Still, he remains steadfast, holding true to his vow to stand by Trinity in sickness and in health, until death separates them.

The storyline kept me hooked throughout. It was wonderful to meet Babe again in this book. Corinne Arrowood’s stories always leave a lasting impression, with her characters staying in my thoughts long after the final page. I’m already eager to get my hands on the next installment in this series.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Hello, I Am Here” by Candace MacPhie is the third book in the Back in a Year series. We follow Candace once again on her travels, accompanied by her trusty purple backpack, Barney. Her complicated past with Josh resurfaces when she runs into him in Prague—her mind may have moved on, but her heart clearly hadn’t.

In Budapest, Candace meets Lyndsay from Seattle, and the two quickly bond over laughter and good times. Candace’s around-the-world ticket stops in LA. In Prague, Czech Republic, Josh confesses he wants to be with her—yet admits he doesn’t love her. Despite the heavy moment, they continue traveling together, even sharing a quirky breakfast at Tatiana’s Erotica strip club.

The stories of her adventures across Munich, Amman, Cairo, etc stirred my own wanderlust, making me want to pack a backpack and set off abroad.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Candace’s courage to step away from a conventional life, purchase an around-the-world ticket, and fully embrace new places and connections is truly inspiring. Her vibrant experiences and heartfelt encounters make this an exceptional and memorable read.

It’s Time

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: It’s Time 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Gail Lynn ✍️

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
In this book, the author invites us to take responsibility for the world we are co-creating. It serves as a call to those who feel, deep within, that they are here for a greater purpose. The insights shared offer both practical tools and a deeper understanding to help readers release limiting beliefs, reconnect with nature’s wisdom, and harness our collective power to heal and co-create a world that uplifts everyone.

Through Penny’s chapter, Gail encourages us to embrace change, question assumptions, and take small, consistent steps toward a healthier and more conscious way of living. Steven’s chapter highlights the importance of not outsourcing our health, reminding us that we are far more capable than we’ve been led to believe. This chapter personally inspired me to dig deeper into the root cause of my frequent headaches.

Healing, as the book emphasizes, is a journey that requires courage, experimentation, and trust in our inner wisdom. The perspectives on health, purpose, power, and sovereignty make this work truly impactful.

Overall, this book provides readers with the tools to navigate uncertainty, reclaim their inner authority, and reconnect with the deeper reasons for our existence. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it—it’s a powerful, thought-provoking work that I wholeheartedly recommend.

The Division

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: The Division 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Cristina Mia ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
The Division by Cristina Mia is a captivating tale set in Hargrave Meadow, a land once rich with green pastures and golden abundance. Now, however, it lies suffocated under a heavy fog known as The Division.

At the helm is Baxter, a basset hound, who, along with his council of foxes, holds endless meetings that only worsen the situation. Their decisions lead to an unequal distribution of resources, leaving many animals struggling. Among them, Felix, a falcon, begins to question his leaders’ commands. When new restrictions are announced—granting more to the peacocks and less to everyone else—Felix was reminded of a time when falcons once protected all the creatures of the meadow.

Will others rise beside Felix to uncover the peacocks’ deception and dismantle the false divisions imposed upon them?

This story carries a powerful message about how division can be manipulated by those seeking advantage. It reminds us that even when confusion clouds our vision, the truth is always within reach. Readers who enjoy richly layered stories with diverse characters will find themselves immersed in this book. Ultimately, it is a story of resilience, unity, and hope in the face of turmoil.
