🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I love reading Crime fiction. After finishing the first book in the “Rick and Katja,” book series, I was excited to get my hands on the second installment in the series.

In this book, we again meet Rick and Katja, the two main characters. Both of them had many dangerous adventures in the first book and it continues in the second book. The story began with Rick killing the man named Roger. Roger was selling the secrets of his nation in Salzburg. He explained to Rick that he has to pay for his daughter’s college and that’s why he is doing so. Rick didn’t hesitate to kill the man.

Read this story to find out what would be the next adventure for Rick and Katja. Will their relationship stand the test of time? Since the author has served in the US army for many years, he has had great knowledge about the world of espionage, danger, assassinations, etc. The language used in the book is lucid and I enjoyed every bit of it. The author has done fantastic work in this book. I am curious to read more books by Ian in the future.

I’m Still Standing

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: I’m Still Standing 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Clara Eve ✍️

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I’m Still Standing written by the author Clara Eve is a story of strength and hope. In this book, the author has shared her story about the time she was in a dark place and how she isn’t a victim but a survivor.

Clara has been abused physically, mentally and sexually in her life. She was teased in school and abused in the home. Clara didn’t have a safe spot. She doesn’t remember most of the details about her youth. Clara’s mother was herself abused as a child but she passed on the abuse to her children.

I appreciate Clara for being a good mother. She didn’t pass the abuse to her children. It was a miracle for Clara when she got her children back from foster care. Since 2017, she has been raising her two daughters and is very much involved in giving them every opportunity they deserve.

I am grateful to the author for sharing her story with us. The author’s story is an inspiration that tells the readers that even though we are in a dark place at some moment in life, one can see a shimmer of light. The writing of the author is raw and the language is easy to follow. It’s a must read book without any second thoughts.
