And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   It doesn’t feel like any time at all since my last review, but here I am with my next… “And Then There Were None”  by Agatha Christie was surprisingly really captivating! It’s a closed room murder mystery, where 10 unsuspecting people are invited to an island. We start on the train with them in separate cabins not knowing each other, and one is killed every few days or hours in some cases when they get to the island. Who kills them and why, I don’t want to spoil here, but I was captivated by/addicted to the story and I finished it in about 24 hours! 4.5 stars!  (If you don’t want to know who the murderer is don’t read the last pages of the book until you finish)!   I read  “And Then Then Were None”  for a few readathons. They were: Reading Rivalry - Dammit Janet!  - murders on an island certainly make me think of the word “dammit,” and worse… Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge - A locked room mystery -  “And Then Th...

Blood & Steel by Helen Scheuerer (The Legends Of Thezmarr #1) Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished  “Blood & Steel”  by Helen Scheuerer and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! It had everything I love and more!  In  “Blood & Steel, ”   we follow our FMC, a 24 year old girl, Thea who wants to become a Warsword warrior in the lands of Thezmarr. Only men are allowed to wield weapons, so they’re the only ones that become Warswords, however. Of course, Thea hates this rule and thinks it’s unfair and sexist, which it is! Why shouldn’t she be able to wield a weapon? She goes on a plight to the king to get permission to train as an apprentice Warsword with our MMC, Wilder Hawthorne. She gets permission from the king and starts training with a group of young men, some of whom she befriends and some of whom she hates. Seb is the main antagonist as well as the demons that slip through the veil. Of course, Wilder is our love interest. He thinks Thea is a pain at first. Does this change t...

The Coven (Sweep #2) by Cait Tiernan Quick Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished my reread of The Coven, book 2 in the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan and I LOVED it!  5 Stars!  We start with Morgan, our protagonist or FMC who has just discovered she’s a witch at the end of Book Of Shadows, book 1. Magic is a thing in this version of the world. It’s a paranormal book.    What Morgan has to work out is her place in the world and how her magick works. She relies on her boyfriend, Cal, who she meets in #1. Is he all he seems? I’ll let you read for yourself!  The coven is a short read at only 185 pages so I won’t spoil the whole plot but I highly enjoy this series and it’s perfect for this time of year!  I read The Coven for a few readathons. They were:  Spoilers below… “I am a blood witch, and Cal loves me, and I love Cal. And that’s the way it is.           The night before, I had my first kiss, and found my first lov...

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store (Dream Harbor #2) by Laurie Gilmore Review

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” and I LOVED it! This will be a short review as “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” is a quick and easy read.  4.5 Stars!  “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” follows our FMC, Hazel who had a small part in “The Pumpkin Spice Cafe,” book 1 in the “Dream Harbor” series. She’s the book shop owner of the town. This book store changes its name frequently but for now it’s the Cinnamon Bun Book Store. She discovers clues in some of her books…to what though? Noah, the younger MMC of the story helps her work out what they mean and all before her 30th birthday! She doesn’t feel like she’s had much of a life and regrets that. Can Noah help her see that her life is still worth living?  I read this for a couple of readathons. They were:  Reading Rivalry - Let’s Do The Time Warp Again -  The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is the second book in the Dream Harbor series so ...

The Well of Ascension (The Final Empire #2) by Brandon Sanderson Review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished  “The Well Of Ascension”  by Brandon Sanderson and I really enjoyed it!    5 Stars!  We follow our same heroine from The Final Empire, Vin as she tries to make sense of the problems facing the residents of her city, Luthadel. The old band of characters from The Final Empire are present, as well as Vin. I enjoyed all of our characters if I’m being honest. Everyone had something different to offer the plot, which kept me intrigued.  I read  “The Well Of Ascension”  for one readathon -  Reading Rivalry - Madness Takes Its Toll - some of the characters are mad/crazy in the plot of  “The Well Of Ascension.”  Spoilers below… “I belong with those who love me,” Vin said.         Zane shook his head. “We don’t belong with them, Vin. We don’t belong in their world. We belong here, in the mists.” Vin is unsure for a lot of this book. She doesn’t know who she can truly rely ...
