Beneath a Copper Sky

 Fantastic novel 

My Review

I read most of Valerie Poore's memoirs and I wouldn't like to
miss this novel based on the author's life in South Africa. 
I must say, "Beneath a Copper Sky" didn't let me down. 

It was a very lively novel, which took the reader on a journey to
South Africa. Through the characters, but also through the storyline,
I had the feeling of being there. Val Poore appealed to all my emotions
as well as my senses.

I highly recommend this book to all people who love reading memoirs/
novels and I give without any doubt a five star rating for
Beneath a Copper Sky.

I really hope that Val Poore continues writing such lovely stories!

Bits, Bytes and Barrels

 What an interesting book!

My review

The book Bits, Bytes and Barrels draws my attention immediately, 
although it sometimes is a dry business subject.

The author did his job very well, by explaining the subject in a 
clear way. It also was handy to have a summary at the end of each
chapter. 

All those things made the book a must-read for
everyone involved in the Oil & Gas industry and the digitalisation
as well!

I give with lots of pleasure a five star rating for this very interesting
book and I hope to read more books from this author.

The offering

A heavy read

Summary

Is it possible to hold onto hope when you lose everything else?

Tariq Abbassi, hospitalized and disoriented, has trouble reconciling
the life he imagined with the one that greets him upon waking in a
trauma center. Soon enough, he realizes the reason behind his current
condition: both of his beloved sons died after a horrific act of negligence.
Struggling to face the dark truth, no matter the cost, he must sift through
his confused memories to resolve how he got here.

My Review

I enjoyed reading this book, although it didn't draw my attention
immediately, due to the flashbacks.

However, the Offering had lots of plots, a very interesting main
character and an open ending. 

I liked the writing style and the story, although it was a very heavy

read.

I would recommend the Offering to all who like to read, fiction and
thrillers told in a novel.

I give a 5 star rating, because the end made me very curious.

The Book: Murder City - review

 a lot of suspense

My Review

I enjoyed reading the book Murder City written by Dan Martin very much.
From the book cover, the location of the story, the characters and the story
itself, everything was well thought and well written.

I'm not sure this is a young adult book due to some violent scenes. However
it's a wonderful mystery with lots of suspense.

I recommend the book to everyone who likes to read an exciting story. 

Of course, I give without any doubt a 5 star rating for this fantastic writing.

It's always nice to get to know the author of the book a bit better.

That's the short biography of Dan Martin. 

About the author

Dan Martin provides novels and short stories that feature complex
characters and archetypes that will resonate with readers from a
wide back ground of interests.

Wilderness settings are frequently featured in Dan's work. They are
places he has known and terrain he has explored. He grew up in a
family of guides and outfitters in Northern Alberta and worked several
years as a field officer with Alberta Forestry Lands and Wildlife.

Dan is a semi-retired psychotherapist. Characters in his novels are
often a projection of personalities he has known during many years
of counselling offenders, people with personality disorders, victims
of abuse and oppression, or simply those dealing with life
adjustment issues.

The Game With no Name

 A lot of suspense!

My review

It's a very good point, I didn't realise this book is part of a series. But since I've
read "The Game With No Name", I defenitely wanted to read more books of the 
series. 

I liked the cover very much, as well as the plot and the family. There is a lot
of suspense and even a twist.

I would recommend this book for all who like to read adventurous stories.

Without a doubt I give "The Game With No Name" a 5 star rating.

The author

LG Cunningham loves to write scary, spine-chilling, monster filled, ‘
my-child-is-not-able-to-sleep’ stories. This term of endearment could
be as a result of growing up in an Irish town filled with ghosts, being
able to communicate with (and actually see) the dead or more than
likely because his family used to rent him horror movies (pre-Netflix
and pre-DVDs) when he was very little which had the affect of twisting
his brain to the extent that he was - and still is - afraid of his own shadow.

Booktasters

I thank Booktasters and the author for giving me a free copy of the ebook
in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion. 

The Game With No Name was published on August 23rd. 2020 and contains
142 pages. 

Stolid

 Third in the wheel of light series

An excellent Novel!

Summary

Stolid is a man who remembers being young and doesn't tell even his

best friends his real name because he has the ambition to be Stolid -
calm and showing little emotion.

But when he grows older and tragedy strikes the world becomes too
much. One evening he runs away, hitchhikes and is picked up by a
man who claims to know him. 

He's taken to an empty place at night. He can escape but chooses not to.
The stranger's motives are obscure but it turns out Stolid is his own
worst enemy. 

The man convinces Stolid he does know him as they exchange
memories and the evening grows mysterious.

My review

I previously read and reviewed Damon Ich, but this book fellt like a 
new excellent story. I enjoyed the thread and the characters of the book
very much, as well as the cover. I hope there will be new books of
Aaron D. Key soon.  

If you like to read wonderful literary novels, don't hesitate to take this
book about Stolid. 

Without no doubt I want to give Stolid a 5 star rating! 

Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man's Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement

 A tough story

Summary

From shootouts and robberies to riding in cars with pimps and prostitutes,
Frederick Reynolds' early manhood experiences in Detroit, Michigan in the
1960s foretold a future on the wrong side of the prison bars. Frederick
grew up a creative and sensitive child but found himself lured down the same
path as many Black youth in that era. No one would have guessed he would
have a future as a cop in one of the most dangerous cities in America in the
1980s---Compton, California. From recruit to detective, Frederick
experienced a successful career marked by commendations and awards.
The traumatic and highly demanding nature of the work, however, took
its toll on both his family and personal life---something Frederick was
able to conquer but only after years of distress and regret.

My Review

What a tough story! It took so long because I wanted to read the complete
story to have a better idea of the book. However it grabs you and it takes you
into a journey of man. 

The book is fluently written and it has a fantastic character. I like the book
cover too. It also is very detailed, which I enjoy a lot. 

I recommend to read Black, White, and Gray All Over: A Black Man's
Odyssey in Life and Law Enforcement because it's an interesting piece of
work and very well written! 

I give the book 5 stars but if I could I would give even more!

Bookreview: Masked Intent: A Modern-Day Morality Play

Wonderful read

Summary

Set in the not-so-distant future, Masked Intent follows the new, shaky romance
between a divorced mom with three sons and a younger college professor. When
ghosts from their pasts reappear, they come face-to-face with the emotional
wreckage that was locked down and lay dormant inside them both for years.
As it turns out, the ghosts aren't the biggest threats to their budding love. It's
the lies they've lived and accepted for themselves as truth that have
the potential to break them apart.

Told through a series of seemingly disconnected vignettes narrated by Truth
personified, Masked Intent examines our relationship with the truth and each
other in a world where honesty and authenticity take back seat to the
power of influence.

My review

A different story which took my attention immediately and it really was a
wonderful read.

The characters were all developed well, however I'm not sure in what
kind of category this book fell.

I would recommend this book to all who like to read well developed,
fiction plays with interesting characters.

I give a 5 star rating for this wonderful read.

The author

From narrating school plays to writing melodramatic short stories,
Kim Greer has always enjoyed telling stories that entertain and enlighten.

of her life. A journalist by training, she earned her BA in English Language and
Literature from the University of Virginia and an MS in Journalism from
Columbia University.

For nearly three decades, she’s helped corporations, nonprofits, and others tell
their stories and build their brands. Kim lives in northern Virginia with her

father, and their Rottweiler, Oba.

Bookreview: Tionsphere

Intriguing! 

Summary

For a million years, the human population was less than 26,000 people.
By the year 2060, ten billion individuals crowded the planet.

As humanity faced its greatest challenge, two global corporations merge to
deliver a radical solution: the construction of concentric spheres encircling the
world. For almost a thousand years, the new world was astonishingly empty,
but as the tionsphere approaches capacity, its universal processing service starts
to fail, threatening the lives of the obsessively-connected people.

Caitlyn and her small team of contract theorists accept the impossible task of
understanding why. They discover individuals who seemingly pre-date the
tionsphere, including one who plans to destroy everything within Tion’s spheres.
Pazel is intent on killing thousands of billions of people to preserve an elite
population tailored to his own desires.

Set on an immense scale, Tionsphere follows ordinary workers surviving in a
world overflowing with people distracted by their technology and threatened
by a life without it.

My Review

This heavy book takes the reader into the future and especially the overpopulation.

The author introduces you to several main characters. The story really intrigued me
and I couldn't decide whether it was a thriller or a science fictions story.

Overall I enjoyed this book very much and I would recommend it to readers who
are interested in the future.

I give this with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating!

Bookreview: Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud.

 A good adventure story

Summary

Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud is book one of a trilogy and introduces
Ela Green, a fourteen-year-old girl. Her first adventure reveals the mysterious
bond she shares with Mother Nature and her encounter with Yggdrasil,
the wise-tree, charting her own self-discovery along the way. 

With the help of her best friend, Jo, and her loving Uncle Archibald, who
unwillingly has to lay bare an unbelievable secret, Ela summons all her courage
to face the many dangers along the road.

The adventure starts in the present day at Waldegg Boarding School on the
shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. As Mrs. Green drives her daughter back
after the summer holidays, Ela has no idea that the discovery of an ancient bracelet
and a scroll she found in an antique desk will change her life forever.

The formidable school is the connecting link in an adventure that will time-travel
the reader through continents and centuries in search of the mysterious kingdom
and the magical Book of Name, the most powerful manuscript ever written...

And for a prophecy that must be fulfilled...

My Review

My expectations of this book started very high due to the amazing, beautiful book
cover and the story as well. However, it was written a bit too chaotic.

The main character took the readers with her on her trip to the Kingdom of 
Abud. The trip is full of adventures. The writing style is chaotic, but well detailed
and clear. 

I'm very happy, I started reading the first book of the trilogy for once and I hope
there will follow more books of this author.

I would recommend Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud to all who like to read
fantasy & adventures stories.

I want to give a 4 star rating for this wonderful, chaotic story. 

The author

Sylvia Greif is a Swiss writer and animal advocate. In 2014 she released a children's
book, Lester's Planet. Ela Green and The Kingdom of Abud is her first novel in a trilogy.

A real nature lover, she is at her happiest in the great outdoors, playing sports.
Sylvia enjoys skiing, swimming, horseback riding, athletics and hiking.
She recently walked part of the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela.

Always up for a physical or a creative challenge, she hopes to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro in the near future.

Her passion for the environment and wildlife started when she was a child.
She grew up surrounded by pets and since a young age, animals have shaped
her more than people. As an animal advocate she works alongside non-profit
organisations to protect animal rights and fight animal cruelty.

Sylvia has three dogs, Bv, Shea and Lola.

Her other passion alongside writing is music and travelling. She has globe-trotted
around the world and is fluent in five languages.

For Sylvia, moments of inspiration are often found in unexpected places.
Her best writing happens on board a train but also from her home. Sylvia is
an early morning writer. She likes to take advantage of the first hours of the
day when she feels the most creative, surrounded by her three dogs.
She finds it to be a fruitful work environment when, as if by magic, a crazy
idea turns into the right turn of phrase. It allows her to get an amount of
uninterrupted writing done, a beautiful antidote to life's stresses.

I received a free copy via Booktasters in return for my honest review. Although I
gave a 4 star rating, I'm curious enough to follow Ela's adventures and character.

My Review

I always enjoy the crime thrillers of Carolyn M Bowen. This story is as all
her books really tensive. While reading, I sat on the edge of my chair.

The cover, the short chapters, the clear writing and lots of twists made the book 
very good. I hope the sequels will follow soon.

I will recommend this book to all who want to read  thrillers and especially
crime thrillers.

Of course I give a five star rating for this tensive, good written book.

Bookreview: Lakshmi and the River of Truth

 A beautiful fairytale for adults that makes you think

Summary

“Find the River of Truth,” said Virtuous Liar. Heeding his admonition, Lakshmi
packed a few provisions, bid farewell to her friends from The Book of Bob, climbed
into her little boat, and “much like a more illustrious literary character in a more
greatly acclaimed sequel, Lakshmi Jackson lit out.”

Join Lakshmi on her epic quest as she checks into the Hospital for the
Ironically Challenged; sleeps in Metaphor Hotel; encounters upside-down
people in an upside-down world; and is befriended by a very special talking dog.

My Review

From the beginning I liked the layout very much, the style continued during the 
whole story.

I also enjoyed the rather small chapters and the way they were built up. The story
itself was very thoughtful and I learned interesting things by reading this
fairytale for adults. The author has an humorous and a fluent writing style.

I would recommend this book to all who like to read the deeper, interesting
fairytales. 

With lots of pleasure I want to give a five star rating for this beautiful book.

The author

Lakshmi and the River of Truth is written by Paul Chasman. I hope more books
of him will follow!

Paul Chasman is a lifelong guitarist and composer with 20 albums to his credit. 

Shortly after George W. Bush “liberated” Iraq, Paul began writing
“Letters of Advice and Constructive Criticism to the Famous, the Infamous,
and the Current Administration” under the alias of Carl Estrada.  

The morning after the 2004 presidential election, The Book of Bob was
revealed to Paul and took form as a novel tackling the taboo issues of politics,
religion, and talking dogs.  Lakshmi and the River of Truth is the long-awaited
sequel to The Book of Bob.  It also features a talking dog.

Paul Chasman lives in an undisclosed location with his adored wife,
Anna, two cats, and two dogs, both of whom talk, although not in English.
