Winning battles means Ink honors, prestige, and life itself. …Yet nobody understands what losing truly means.
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. Marked 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 continuum to unravel good from evil, truth from lies, and survival from true love.
Welcome to the City–where it takes lives to save lives…
My Favorite, So Far
Matthew Oliver Cannon was a rich, handsome man who had a wild and wicked sense of humor and an insatiable appetite for the fairer sex. Matthew loved women so much he didn’t want to settle for just one; not until he’d gotten his fair share of bedding ‘his fair share’ as well as removing the pain of a family member’s past indiscretion out of his system. If ever…Tracy Arnett – Reviewer for Spunky N Sassy Blog

Mmm….. Matthew Oliver Cannon, can’t get enough!!!!
The M Series: Matthew which is book five of this series. This book covers Matthew Cannon’s story, we learned in the previous book The M Series: Madison that Matthew met and fell hard for Madison as did she for him, but what happened during those years that Madison struggled without Matthew.
Matthew was the one Cannon brother that everyone thought would be a bachelor and would never find “the one”. Then Madison King walked into his life and turned everything upside down. She was incredibly beautiful, smart and his match in every way. She is the one woman he couldn’t get off his mind no matter what.
Follow Matthew as he lets Madison slip through his fingers and into the arms of another man. Matthew has a past and insecurities that he tries to hide. In this book, we see a side of Matthew that we don’t expect. We follow how he felt losing the only woman that truly touched his heart to family tragedies that he is right in the middle of.
This book touched me in so many ways. In the previous books, we saw a different side of Matthew and personally, I loved seeing into his mind and how meeting Madison the first time affected him. We see this book through his Point of View and I loved every moment of this book until I got to the end of it.
Ryanne Anthony left me wanting more Matthew Cannon. I cannot wait until the next book in the series comes out so that I can see more of him. I love how reading this book felt like catching up with an old friend. I felt like I was right next to Matthew through his journey of heartbreak, loss, turmoil, lies, and deceit. I don’t know if we truly know all of what makes Matthew tick but we learn what makes his heartbeat.
Another hit for Ms. Anthony. This book took me to places that I loved and makes me want to go back as soon as I can. You will not be disappointed in this book. So sit down with the sexy Matthew Cannon and see the world through his eyes, trust me you won’t regret it as he definitely raises the temperature in any room.
I give this book 10+++++++++++ stars and I am more in love with the writing style of Ryanne Anthony than ever before.

Life & Society as we know it can take a twisted terrible path
Marta Moran Bishop has penned a fascinating what-if dystopian sequence of two novels available as book one and two or as a boxed set. I was fortunate to get the boxed set from Audible.com and listen to together with my family in lockdown to Darkness Descends (the prequel) and The Between Times (the sequel). I ‘ll not rehash the details of the story as this is a review and not a report. The intensity and brutality of the people in power in these novels, the sheer level of cruelty has Bishop vying with serial killer novelists and TV shows like Criminal Minds and CSI. Bishop sets the stage well, uses props masterfully, and the story unfolds to the ear like a Broadway rendition of 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 with a goodly dose of Brave New World. Still, while the dark side of the power brokers is genuinely executed and in places hard to stomach due to the attention to detail and the interplay of dialogue and character, there is the bright hope of Jewell herself, like a shining beacon on the lost hill. This is an American dystopia played out in Chicago, and the author’s obvious knowledge of the city struck me hard as I grew up in Chicago and have used the same city for many of my own writings. The novel here reminded me of just how long people have been declaring the men and women made the richest BY Chicago and Chicagoans have done badly in supporting the most vulnerable among us. In 1893 a visiting Englishman, a reporter who died on the Titanic, William Stead wrote of this crisis of Chicago in great detail in his book entitled If Christ Came to Chicago. And so, yes Bishops two titles in a boxed set on audible (ebook as well) moved me to deep thought about the crisis of Chicago in 1893 and today in 2020 with the pandemic that has hit the poorest and oldest among us the hardest, and yet we must always maintain hope and light.

Wow!! You have to get this!!
I love finding new books and Authors and this Anthology was amazing. Very talented Authors and the stories, just wow!! At first, I only wanted this because I had to read the Date by T Elizabeth Guthrie, but all the stories were wonderful. Everyone has sacrificed something for love in their own lives. Ladies and gentlemen you have to get this book, there is definitely something for everyone.
Very entertaining read!
Very entertaining read (it’s steamy at times too). The plot has developed well and takes the story in a really satisfying direction. There are lots of great character interactions, lots of good scenes and some highly explosive moments. Griffin is becoming something highly dangerous; the question is, will he be able to be a G.O.D and stay human enough for his and Tassta’s love to survive? I’m eager to find out as the series progresses. It’s a 5 from me 🙂

I colored the pages like a big girl!
What a magnificent grayscale coloring book for adults and children. I marveled as my coloring brought forth live images in my mind of colors and shapes I could only dream about. What a fantastic folly it was to go through each page to find the one I wanted to color next. Enjoy, I did and I am positive you will too.
