Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #5 Bring Me Sunshine

By ChaoticNinja







Bring Me Sunshine by Wendy Storer (@WendyStorer) is a must read. It's heart-wrenching. It's a reality that's usually unnoticed or even ignored. Wendy evokes a keen sense of sadness and yet uplifts you in the most profound way.


This is the last book review for the month of April.

Deep Down Dead: You may never breathe again

By ChaoticNinja

When you find yourself as tense and as fearful for your life as the characters in the book, then you know the author succeeded in bringing you into her world. Welcome to Deep Down Dead , where you chase after the bad guys who are also chasing after you. Well, of course, when I say “you” I mean Lori Anderson, the headstrong bounty hunter who has one seemingly simple job of finding a fugitive for a massive payday. Nothing to it, yeah? After all, that’s her job.  But nothing is simple when it’s your bounty hunting mentor’s ass you’re hauling back to court. With a sick daughter in tow, the risk multiplies faster than you can flip the pages. When you get to the last 30% of the book, it gets harder and harder to breathe. Add child exploitation ring and the Miami mob into the mix and you may never breathe again. There’s a bit of an issue with the believability of a couple of scenes, but nothing so big that it diminishes the overall impact of the story.   ...

Live For This: Unbreaking the Broken

By ChaoticNinja

I didn’t plan on reading  Live For This   by  Kathryn Biel because in my mind, it’s one of those stories that will make me feel miserable after reading. Surely, a man with a broken body and woman with a shattered soul is a downright depressing combination, yeah? Well, guess what? It’s not that at all. I didn’t feel like the world is crashing down on me. There’s no feeling of heaviness or misery or grief. Nothing of that sort. This is superbly written. It’s hitting the right notes. The jokes are landing. The drama bits are heart-rending and just tug at this ninja’s heartstrings. Perhaps the only problem here is that it has similarities to Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You” . Now, I don’t know if t his was inspired by the book or the similar events are just mere coincidences. It might bother some readers, but it does not bother me all that much because there is a clear divergence in storyline. This is not a story that’s just written for the sake of eliciting ...

The Night Stalker: A Wicked Page-Turner

By ChaoticNinja

The second book in the series usually re-introduces characters only briefly so there’s always a chance of not understanding certain aspects of the character dynamics.  With that said, The Night Stalker by Robert Bryndza brilliantly presented the characters in such a way that I didn’t feel like I’ve missed out on important background details. On to the review… A serial killer is on the loose and it’s up to DCI Erika Foster to find the violent, heartless, totally deranged person who’s killing male victims. The killer operates by stalking the victims first with ninja-like precision then killing them mercilessly. The weapon of choice: Suicide bag . The victims never see the killer coming. I like that the killer is revealed a bit earlier than usual. Some would say it’s easy to guess who the killer is. But one has to realize that it’s the thrill of the chase that makes this book a wicked page-turner. Erika and her team have to outsmart the seemingly untracea...

Welcome to Episode 17 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB .  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in 140 characters. All the EPISODES of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  can be found  HERE .  Or you can just look to your right and you'll find the  Quick Links . In this episode, we feature AUTHOR PS Bartlett ( @ PSBartlett ) . She's the author of ' Fireflies ' and  ' Hope from the Ocean '. Let's get to know PS in more than 140 characters, shall we?
