Winning battles means Ink honors, prestige, and life itself. …Yet nobody understands what losing truly means.

karenwritesmurder's avatarkarenwritesmurder

On another planet two hundred years in the future, twenty-one-year-old Isla Jane struggles helplessly to figure out who she is and what her world really means.

THECITYJANEHARVEST2.jpgMarked with a forbidden tattoo of the rising sun, she is a natural champion of humanity and a gifted warrior in Heats– lavish battles fought in the conjoined minds of the participants for the morbid amusement of the masses.

Despite Isla’s desire to fade into the background, she emerges as an obvious leader of her people when the senseless assassination of a youth forces her to face the truth. Her volatile world, disguised by its elaborate battles and constant mayhem, is a prison without bars and a coffin, the lid already half-closed, that they must escape.

But when she vows to find a way to bring her people back home, Isla will have to deconstruct consciousness and the very nature of the space time…

Can this whirlwind romance survive the impending tangle of secrets and lies?The Seasons of Our Love Kindle Edition by Angela Gascoigne

October 24, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition
I’ve only recently become a reader of indie authors, my reading was usually king or koontz, topped up with a bit of Coban. Angela Gascoigne is yet another extremely talented author that I have happened to come across. It starts with Rosie running away from her boyfriend armed with only her cat. What follows is something endearing and delightful, as she meets the cat allergic Danny. The characters are very believable, the story goes at a good place and urges you to read on. It’s full of humour and heartache and you just want to race on to see how it all ends. A change of author and genre for me and I’m so glad I did. On a more general note, there is an amazing bundle of indie authors, who…

February 5, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition
To say I love this book is putting it mildly. Very rarely does a book pull me in so completely. I found myself reading it slowly. I savored it, enjoyed it, and did not want to rush through, and yet toward the end I could not put it down and I stayed up way past my bedtime to get to the climatic ending.

The use of dialect was very well done. The character development was exceptional and the author lead me down quite a path as I watched Rhona change from a young person I disliked to a mature woman I admired. My favorite character was the twisted laird himself, Edan. He was a brave and honest man of honor, who did whatever he had to do to take care of his tightly knit little clan. His goals and…

WHAT EVERY GIRL WANTS A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS!!! A FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS DANIELLE LEE ZWISSLER!

karenwritesmurder's avatarkarenwritesmurder

AFAMILYTHISXMASBLURB.jpg519kXy5EseL._SY346_I have been very much enjoying this series of stand alone novellas & short stories. This was no exception. The characters are likeable and misunderstandings relatable. I would love to see Jackson & Ellens story as well.

I have just one recommendation, the names of the characters through the stories are duplicated without relation. I in have now seen Jack, Jackson, O’Reilly and others used multiple times. While the names are good ones, there really are many others to choose from and as a reader, I get confused with the other stories especially when there is no connection between stories. I am someone who, if I really like a story, will remember and read again. The characters names are important in remembering which I am looking for. After all, if a reader connects the way a writer wants, the name becomes a person not just a name.

February 24, 2017

Format: Paperback

I love this book. I am not typically satisfied with novellas, but this one was lovely. The words wrapped me in warmth and I felt as if I was there. It was more than a series of stories, but a homecoming. If you are looking for something to restore you, this is the book.
