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.

Welcome to Episode 19 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting members of 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 TAMIE DEAREN ( @TamieDearen ) She's the author of ' ALORA ' and ' The Best Girls ' books. She's a member of the RRBC Tweet Support Team (TST). Her re-tweeting power is LEGENDARY!  Let's get to know Tamie in more than 140 characters, shall we? KINDLE NINJA (KN):   Welcome to Conversations over Milk and Cookies . How do you like...

Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #3

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #3  featuring Untethered by Katie Hayoz ' Untethered ' by Katie Hayoz   5 / 5 ★★★★ ★ Awkward teenager. Popular cliques. Outcasts. Raging hormones. Dysfunctional families. Typical setup for a story under the much revered Young Adult genre. That’s what Untethered  is in a nutshell. That is until you actually read it through to the end. Author Katie Hayoz takes “typical” by the horns, grapples with it, and lets it know who’s boss! When Sylvie Sydell realises she can astral project, she uses it to set in motion a sinister scheme that could change the course of her life (and perhaps the lives of those affected). She does this out of her love for one boy. Then all hell breaks loose when things don’t go according to plan. The story wouldn’t be as engaging if not for Hayoz’s impeccable writing. She writes in different levels of sophistication and simplicity at just the right moments, enough to stir up all ki...

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #7  featuring The Reunion, Dangled Carat, and It Lives In the Basement The Reunion (Beneath the Trap Door) by A.A. Pencil 4 / 5 ★★★★ The first chapter of the book introduces the characters – a whole lot of them. Although author A.A. Pencil created quite an ensemble, it’s a struggle to remember them all (but this is more of a reader’s shortcoming rather than a story flaw). It’s a bit of a slow start, but the personality clashes and banters are enough to keep my interest. It’s not established who the core characters are so you’d be in the dark about 90% of the time, which means you’re speculating most of the time (a good thing!). What started as shallow bickerings and embarrassing trips down memory lane, quickly turned into a gruesome murder spree from an unknown assailant. And this is where it gets maddeningly twisted. It’s reminiscent of slasher films of decades past, but more violent and bizarre.  What...

SUBMERGED: Read if you can handle the truth

By ChaoticNinja

SUBMERGED by Katie Hayoz Melusine Dor é is back and she’s badder than ever. Slaying monsters is sweeter this time around because Levi is by her side with a little less bickering and wrangling. While Mel ( yeah we’re tight like that ) has had her “happily ever after” in book 1 ( Immersed ), it seems to be short-lived when doubts cripple their relationship. The fear of the curse returning hangs heavily over Mel’s head and it’s causing a rift. Add a seductive vixen into the mix and you get a volatile love triangle of some sort. But enough about the shaky relationship.  Submerged is much more than that.  This is Mel’s unravelling. There’s this part of her that’s come undone because there’s this nagging fear that seems to be magnified the closer she gets to the truth about herself. I am completely in awe of how the character is presented – a strong female on the outside, but on the verge of falling apart on the inside. “What if everything you knew abo...

Two Reviewers, One Book: The Winged Turban

By ChaoticNinja

  Welcome to TWO REVIEWERS, ONE BOOK.  Once in a while, I invite a reviewer, a blogger, an author, or a random character to sit with me in this very comfortable couch and share our views (opposing or otherwise) on a chosen book that caught our fancy. My review partner for today is   Leisl Kaberry .  She’s the author of the Titanian Chronicles Series . The book that intrigued us is   ' The Winged Turban '  by  J oshua Grasso . Synopsis Beatrice is the victim of an arranged match to the Duke of Saffredento, who hastily abandons her to an estate full of forgotten traditions and curses. When the portrait of a strange woman begins turning up in the house, she summons the great sorcerer, Hildigrim Blackbeard, to investigate. The portrait, it seems, has traveled through time to find her—and bring her back by any means necessary. For she can no longer be Beatrice of Saffredento, but a young woman who died two-hundred yea...
