Review for Sister by The Sea by Wanda E Brunstetter

   
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Barbour Publishing for sending me this FREE Copy to promote and review for them as part of their Review Crew last month. 

Even tho ive read other Novels by Wanda before i have to say i really enjoyed this one cause it reminded me alot of The Praire State Friends Series but i'd love to see a series about The Lambright Sisters. 

The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. It was hard to pick just one as my favorite since i seemed to like all The Lambright Characters. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Clare Michigan, Indiana and Sarasota Florida while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Amish Fiction about 4 Sisters who vacationed in Sarasota Florida. Can't wait to read more by Wanda in the futrue!!

Review for If The Tide Turns by Rachel Rueckert

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Kensington Publishing for picking  me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on their website earlier this year. 

This was My First Time reading a Historical Fiction Novel by Rachel so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one even though im not a big reader of Pirate Novels. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. It was hard to pick just one as My Favorite since i seemed to like all 5 Different Groups of Characters. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1715 to 1716 Massachusetts while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Historical Fiction!! Can't wait to read more by Rachel in the future!!

Review for Pocketful of Poseys by Thomas Reed

  
Rating: 3 Stars!!
Review: 
Thank you to Beaufort Books for sending me this FREE ARC Copy to promote and review for them as part of their Book Influencers Program. 

This was my first time reading a Contemporary Novel by Thomas so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really liked this book at first BUT it quickly got boring with too long chapters and nonsense storylines surrounding Cinny's Children and Grandchildren which took away from what the book was about especially when there were political jokes about a former president in that i felt werent necessary and it didnt relate to the main storyline. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Grace, Cinny, Chelsea and Brian were definately my favorites but i felt like they're backgrounds could of been built up a little more. 

The Setting was OK but could of been better more descriptive especially since Grace and Brian had to travel to other countries to spread their parents ashes. 

Overall an OK Contemporary Novel but could have been so much better!! I will read more by Thomas in the future BUT I hope his other books arent like this one was.

Review for The Fury by Alex Michaelides

  
Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Celadon Books for picking me to review this FREE ARC Copy as part of their Book Club Promotion earlier this month. 

This was My First time reading a Thriller by Alex so i wasnt sure what to expect even tho ALOT  of reviews say this one is a good one similar to The Silent Patient and others not so much but overall i did enjoy this one from Chapter 4 on but i felt like The Prologue to Chapter 4 was boring with very little happening. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about about. Elliot and Lana were definately my favorites which broke my heart when said Character was murdered. I did not care for Kate at all she came off as a spoiled brat so i wasnt too surprised when the truth came out about her in the middle to the end of the book. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Greece while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Thriller!! Can't wait to read more by Alex in the future but i just hope his other books dont start off like this one did.

Review for Mercury by Amy Jo Burns

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to BookishFirst for picking me to win this FREE ARC Copy in a Raffle on their website earlier this year. 

This was my first time reading a Novel by Amy Jo so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i enjoyed this one more then i thought i would. This book was about The Jacobs Family who own a Roofing Company in Mercury Pennsylvania in 1990 while they go through Trials of Life.

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Marley and Waylon were my favorites i really shipped them by the middle of the book. I didnt care for Ruth because she came off as PUSHY especially when Marley told her about her Pregnancy but im glad Marley made her decision about it on her own. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Mercury while reading, especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Contemporary Fiction. Can't wait to read more by Amy Jo in the future!!

Thank you to Authors Marketing for inviting me to join this Book Tour last month and to Raemi for sending this FREE Physical Copy to promote and review for her for The Tour this week along with the goodies she included with the book. 

This was my first time reading a Thriller by Raemi so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one especially since i could relate to Kyra and the feeling of Grief she was experiencing after losing her Father since i lost mine in November 2021. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Kyra and Grace were definately my favorites especially their determination to find out what happened to Ed and The Senator the night of The Boat Accident. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Martha's Vineyard while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Book 1 in this Thriller Series!! Can't wait to read Book 2 this Summer!!

Review for The 5 Minute Visual Guide to The Bible by Michael Wittmer

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Barbour Publishing for sending me this FREE COPY to promote and review for them as part of their Review Crew a few years ago. 

I started this Devotional in January as a "Reread" of The Bible and i have to say i really enjoyed this one specifically because of how in depth the background and Verses were from Creation to The 2nd Coming. 

If you're looking for a Guide to go with your Daily Bible Study then i HIGHLY Recommend this one. 

Can't wait to read more by Michael in the future!!

Tender Loving Care by Susan Mallery

  
Rating: 3 Stars!! 
Review: 
I think this was only the 3rd Novel ive read by Susan, Number 2 of this year and i have to say i expected so much more then what was given especially after how funny Chapter 1 was.

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Melissa was definately my favorite especially with how caring she was to her patients as A Nurse. 

The Setting was OK but wasnt very descriptive especially since i found myself going back to previous pages to see where the scenes were set in. 

Overall an OK Contemporary Novel but ive read better. I will read more by Susan in the future but i hope her other books arent like this one was.

Review for Garden of The Midnights by Hannah Linder

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Barbour Publishing for sending me this FREE Complimentary Paperback Copy to promote and review for Hannah as part of their Review Crew. 

This was My First Time reading a Historical Regency Novel by Hannah so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i enjoyed this one so much more then i thought i would especially with The History of Northumberland and Sharottewood Manor that was mentioned throughout the book which i think helped bring the story to life. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. William and Isabella were definately my favorites especially with their connection to each other and the way they succumbed to Grief which i could really relate to. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1787 to 1814 England while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenal Historical Fiction!! Cant wait to read more by Hannah in the future!! 

Review for The Return by Nicholas Sparks

   
Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this was The 13th Novel ive read by Nicholas i have to say i would of liked it abit more if The Prologue to Chapter 4 werent so descriptive and dragged out with Trevor's Background Story. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Trevor and Natalie were definately my favorites, i even shipped them by the end of the book. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 2019 Afghanistan and 2014 New Bern North Carolina while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall A Good Contemporary Novel!! Can't wait to read more by Nicholas in the future!!

Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this was The 4th Novel ive read by Fern but i have to say this one is My 2nd Favorite by her with "To Have and To Hold" being My First. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Josie was definately my favorite especially because of how determined and spunky she is. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in New Orleans while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Good Contemporary Novel!! Can't wait to read more by Fern in the future!!

Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Mark A Gibson for sending me this FREE Physical Copy to promote and Review for him as part of Book 2's Book Tour this month. 

This was My First time reading a Historical Fiction Novel by Mark so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i really enjoyed this one more then i thought i would especially since there was 3 Different Time Eras in it. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. I felt bad for The Hamilton Family throughout the book because it felt like everything that could go wrong for them did and No Good seemed to come from it. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in 1967 Vietnam and 1937 to 1967 South Carolina especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Wonderfully Written Book 1 in this Historical Fiction Series!! Can't wait to read Bok 2 soon!!
