Review: The Divided Twin - M.Billiter and Kyle Thomas

Review: The Divided Twin - Book #2 Divided Series - M.Billiter and Kyle Thomas - June 2020 I had been looking forward to reading this book as I enjoyed Book #1 A Divided Mind is where we learned that one of the twins Branson had schizoaffective disorder and had another personality known as Trevor. The disease caused his family chaos as his mum ended up losing her job and Branson had a mental breakdown and ones he loved most got hurt. In Book #2 we read as the twins Aaron and Branson are at different colleges and that Branson is getting better and hasn't had any breaks since his stint in the hospital. We also read some sad news that the twin's mother has been going through Breast cancer treatments. In The Divided Twin, we read as another personality has evolved - this time his name is David. The Divided Twin shows David deciding to wreak chaos on the world. I have to admit I did not see the twists and turns coming in this book when it was revealed about the other iden...

Review: Beautiful Imperfection - Kathryn J. Blain - September 2013 It wasn't until I started reading that I realized that this book was a Christian fiction novel as due to the content it was quite an edgy read. The book starts with our main character Teddy going out on a blind date with her friends as she has finally been cleared and in remission from her breast cancer after she had a mastectomy. Her friends believe this is what she needs to make herself feel beautiful again. Unfortunately, the night will end in disaster and tragedy as the club they picked ends up being the scene of a mass shooting. Her friend Linda's husband ends up being among the casualties. Teddy and a fellow Marine have been hailed as heroes as they managed to stop the shooter Jack Sprague. It is here that Teddy will meet a blast from her past - Detective Sloan Michaels who was Teddy's first love and the guy whom she never got over after he dumped her without explanation. Sloan has...

Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour. They told me it would be easy—just blend in, observe, and keep to myself. They didn't tell me that failure would cost me everything. Mira Johns is pretty much like any other teenage girl. Which is why it's a shock when she's selected ahead of six hundred other candidates to be the first student ever to travel from the planet Nreim to Earth. Even though she’s only there to observe, she’s given what feels like a million rules that are mostly intended to keep her away from the planet’s primitive males. But after she finds one mysterious boy too irresistible for stupid rules, she realizes they have a connection that transcends their two planets—and puts both their lives in danger. When a series of serious acciden...

Review: It Was Me - Anna Cruise

Review: It Was Me - Book #2 Abby and West - Anna Cruise - July 2013 After a bit of struggling with books this morning as I tried two books before this one and they were both DNF. I felt in the mood to read a book that I knew would not be an automatic DNF for me as I love Anna Cruise's books. It has been a few years since I read the first book in the series, but due to my memory, I remember what happened - well enough anyway. At the end of Book # 1, Abby and West were trying to salvage their relationship as Annika had tricked West into thinking she was Abby. This, of course, caused a rift between the twins and West . Things have been going strong for the pair of them and Abby's annual family trip to Arizona is coming up and this time around they have invited West. With Annika not going, West reluctantly agrees. The pair has fun and Abby's family talks West into trying for the Baseball open tryouts. West goes along to see if he still has it and i...
