Review: Fates Altered

Fates Altered by Jules Barnard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful love story. It's the story of how Theda left her world, after her father is forcing her into a marriage with a man she detests. When she flees into the Human realm she meets Elena's father Alex while hiding in his tool shed. It doesn't take long before they fall in love.
This is a good book to read before Fates Divided. As it give you an insight into Elena's background.

Review: Iniquity

Iniquity by Melody Winter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderful start to an unmissable series. Set in the near future where Demons have come up to live on the surface. To accomplish this the world suffered erupting Volcanoes, less land mass etc. The worst side effect was the darkness across the world. We meet Athena properly just before her 21st birthday dreading the ascension ceremony where all women over 21 are usually sent away to serve the Master Demon. In Athena case the Local demon in charge of the village decides to marry Athena himself.
I was hooked I even grew to like both Paymon and Erebus seeing them through her eyes. Athena is very naïve with what might have happened with a different demon or an ordinary man. Especially with her behaviour after her marriages. Great world building, and could quite put myself in the dark and cold.
I loved this book the adventure, the great world building so you were in the dark with Athena aching for some sunlight, so pleased when she found the Rose Bush with its tiny slither of light. As with all first books, it left me wanting more. I’m ready for book two, and I’ll hopefully one of the first to read it when it’s published. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Review: Tru Blue

Tru Blue by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tru Blue was wonderful uplifting tale of love in its many forms. On the surface Tru has to deal with some very unpleasant and heartbreaking events, but at his core he remains a wonderful man with lots of love to give.
Tru counts his blessings when he meets Gemma, while shopping for baby things late at night. Gemma comes from a completely different background from Tru, she may have had material things, but her parents were very distant.
So Gemma has turned her back on her moneyed background, has moved to Peaceful Harbour and opened a Princess Shop. Which is designed for children’s parties. At first glance you think they would have nothing in common. Both Tru and Gemma have both been let down by their parents in one way or another. Both have so much love to give, and luckily they found each other. I can recommend this story while it has some upsetting scenes, but it’s a joy to read don’t let yourself be put off.

Review: Wear White to your Funeral

Wear White to your Funeral by Lisa Acerbo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At the start we have an unhappy teen having to spend her final year at school staying with her aunt Nora, while her mother is working in Japan. Starting a new school for your final year warrants it’s the end of the world, but moving across country means it is the end as we know it.
So meeting Bowen, and partnering him for a journalism assignment was a saving grace for Rory.
A good book to read at this time of the year, so I was looking for a good Ghost story, which we have to a certain degree. Then we have a murder with some romance.
I enjoyed reading the book, and the angst was perfect. I have to say I was so involved in the story I was cold every time the temperature was mentioned, and I ended up wearing a thick jumper all the time all the time I was reading this story. Overall I would say a good Young adult book. I would let the teens in my house read it. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
