Health is one of the most talked about subjects at any point in time on a society, and ironically the most ignored subject when it comes to personal decisions.

Let us be honest, we ALL could eat better, and we can all eat better food, we can all improve our diets and we can all live longer, healthier lives. But why don’t we all do it? THAT’S the question. I mean, we all want to live past the 100 years, and we all know that this is possible, there are many live examples of this, thousands, so it’s not far-fetched. We all want to live without worrying about hospital bills, cancers, and all those nasty and expensive diseases, and we all know how easy it is to change a little ingredient here and there, so WHY don’t we do it? After reading this amazing book, I figured the answer to that: we don’t have the right motivation to do it. Crazy? Let me explain:

You see, fast-food is easy to acquire, it’s cheap on our pockets, but in the end it costs us our lives. Yet, just the deliciousness of those fatty, tasty meals, is enough to motivate us to continue eating. So here’s the question I have for you: What if every label of fast-food, every single package of fast-food came with the amount of hours, or days, that is taking away from your life? Would you eat it still? Exactly! What does this has to do with this AMAZING book by Tricia Silverman? It’s exactly the opposite! You see, the genius behind this book is that Tricia Silverman was able to CLEARLY show the dividends of eating healthy food by concretely relating it on how much longer, and better we can live! THAT’S WHY we love this book! And THAT’s why we are sure that this book will make you realize how important your daily diet is, and here’s the trick, Tricia Silverman doesn’t go all wandery and vague on what you should or shouldn’t eat, she ACTUALLY tells the difference that each element on your diet affects you and your body, and yes, you will stop eating lots of salt and realize how important it is to put waaaay more vegetables on your diets, and yes, you will start looking twice at those burgers and cereals.

FINALLY we get to read the second book of this AMAZING and romantic series about vampires and “werewolves”, of the AMAZING, Anna J Walner. OK. On the review of the first book, we told you guys that Garkain had best-selling potential and should become a best-seller. Well then, we were ABSOLUTELY correct, because Garkain, not long after we published that review, actually became an Amazon Best-selling book on its category! Yes! That’s correct, Garkain is an Amazon Best-selling book. Yes. And yes, you want to read the review and get yourself the first book before you read this one. Hehehe.

Larougo.

Anna J Walner starts off the book with a lightning fast and effective recap of everything that happened in the previous book and “just like that” we are back into the present book, back into the series that is rolling off with the current events and the current worries of the couple, Amelia and Roan. It’s subtle and effective. Why are we putting this into relevance? Because, it takes some good amount of skill to do a recap that keeps the reader interested, doesn’t spoil the book, makes the reading of the current book feel like a stand-alone while relaying all the information needed in order for the reader to continue without having to worry. It’s impressive indeed. Love it!

The romance scenes and dynamics are top tier, specially between Amelia and Roan, as they flawlessly blend into a unit as couple and you can just feel the love they have for each other, and that lights up the novel a lot allowing Anna J Walner space to use this “lighting” in her favour when she wants to make the novel darker, which is something very smart on her part and very well thought.

JP McLean is definitely one of our favourite writers of romance, not only for her amazing ability to create intriguing and complex stories that challenge us readers, but because of her skill when it comes to narrative and character creation, structuring realistic dynamics between the characters, which always give them a more realistic, solid and palpable feel, and this time is no different with this great title: Blood Mark.

Before we start off with this review though, we invite you to check her previous book reviewed by us, that is one of the most original paranormal books that we have this year, with some serious dark  humor, Secret Sky.

So, Blood Mark. Here we have our main character, Jane Walker, trying to live a normal, inconspicuous life, only to find that at every turn, her past comes back to her and her irremovable blood red marks remind her on how they can be a hindrance to everything she calls normal or sane. Then there are the dreams that show her bits of reality, another person’s reality and experiences in a third-person perspective, these inescapable, paralyzing dreams that cling to her everyday, growing stronger and more vivid in details and sensation while letting her know nothing about what she needs to do about them, or any other clue that will help her help these people, or herself.

She starts to dream about a psychic yard, a woman called Rebbeca, that is taken there and apparently has visions about people as well, and a doctor that is still trying to understand her as a patient thinking that the visions are not real, and yet, a bigger question looms: What does this Doctor have to do with our main character?

One of the greatest things an author can make in order to connect with the reader is to tell the truth, and Natasha Deen does exactly that, by showing a “watered down” reality when it comes to the discrimination, emotional bullying of “Brown” girls in school driven by ignorance, narcissism and white-privilege, and how it affects them both emotionally and academically, while also, letting us know that many times, this is but a reflection of the perception of people towards themselves and their own worth and Natasha Deen does so in a non-violent, hilarious and well put narrative filled with sarcasm, and nuggets of wisdom in each page.

The humour is EXCEPTIONAL all the way and it only gets better as the book progresses, stealing hard and long laughters and amused eye-rolls from us readers with the abundant and witty remarks that sometimes boarder the dramatic and many times touch the hyperbole standards.

“But the sandwich squishes in my mouth. Mom hasn’t figured out the correct ratio of mayo to tuna. It’s either dry enough to use as a desiccant or so wet, I think it could bring the fish back to life.”

It’s fantastic to read this book.

The emotional display of anxiety and sometimes despair on our main character as she is facing the “white-dominated” environment of school and the feeling of isolation and unimportance is palpable and very well portrait by the author, and that’s important because it allows us to better understand these situations and grow in compassion and alliance towards the struggles of other “Brown” girls and people, allowing us to check ourselves and the consequences of our behaviours towards other people in general.

We have been talking about “brown” girls, but our main character is, and this is a very interesting fact, Guyanese! YES! She is Guyanese, and that onto itself reveals a lot and makes this book very interesting into itself, adding a layer of diversity and taking off a layer of the expected story. I mean, how many times do you read about the Guyanese culture and their people? Super cool.

” I am:

With power, confidence and grit, we are introduce to the first words of Zaira Pirzada that are simply beautiful and motivating, on the first poem “The Magnificent”, and our eyes are openly and abundantly gifted with the beauty of her words and wording. Rhymes that make us appreciate ourselves a little more, telling us that even though we may not feel great about ourselves we will always be miracles of nature, in Nature.

Zaira Pirzada has a way of reinforcing her meanings on the rhymes, stressing the imagery and the gravity of the meaning that is so graceful, so beautiful that it leaves you curious to why the choosing of words, to the point that we, readers have to read again those same little lines in order to appreciate those same lines once again, simply because of their beauty and witty structure, it’s very impressive indeed.

Breath-taking poems with EXCELLENT verses created with such tenderness that we get the sense that IF we read it wrong, we might scrap and break the poem, if that makes sense.

As we read, we are blown away by the sheer genius of Zaira when it comes to convey beauty, be it light or dark in so few lines!

“Longing drew by twilight an illusion in my bed:

This is poetry written by a very experienced hand, no doubt, because in order to convey so much in so few words is a skill that only the best writers can do with such ease, and I have to take my hat off to Zaira Pirzada on this book. AMAZING!

From the dedication, we can already feel the magic that awaits us in the book, and it hold an exciting promise of discovery which pulls us to continue reading the book at once, nice touch there, and the book starts off GREAT with powerful lessons that hit us full force with their depth and practicality, which sells us immediately towards the rest of the book and makes an AMAZING first impression. VERY well done.

The lessons keep coming and coming, simple lessons that enrich us and clear our minds with their poignant messages and truths in this AMAZING tale about a young man that is forced to ask the help of a witch that sends him on a voyage with a crow in order to be able to save his dad, but things aren’t as simple as they seem and it may be dangerous to trust a witch filled with darkness in her heart.

Although this a short and magical tale, Spellbound Under The Spanish Moss, is empowering to the core and I love how the authors use the soft narrative to deliver the plot while almost caressing us with the utter beauty of words. I cannot express how beautiful this book is! You feel LOVED and understood, you feel powerful and motivated, you feel like there is someone looking over you and pushing you. THIS IS AMAZING!

The chapters short, intense, gripping and full of soul, the imagery is solid, colourful and detailed, and I have to admit that this is one of best books I’ve read on the subject of magical things and fantasy, and the adventures and humour is always a bonus.

Kids will love this, adults will love this, teens will love this because this is soooo well written.

The book starts off great, with a little bit of humour and sarcasm on the first story, with a very good progression and implications.

The dry humour and sarcasm is definitely a GREAT trait of this book, Kevin Revolinski should get the award for the most sarcastic writer in the planet. It’s just flawless, and the way it makes you want to read the story while listening some jazz on the background is something very nice. You don’t get in this day and age, many writers with this “non-challans“, better yet, totally uninterested vibe of narrative. It’s very cool, and the fact that Kevin Revolinski could keep the reading experience light and amusing, slightly gripping,  is impressive.

The first story, Stealing Away, is about two youngsters that run away from their houses, Bony and Clyde* style, and try to survive by making petty crimes. What’s interesting about this story is that it shows a LOT of the reality of most americans live and it’s not passed on the media. They both lived under financially struggling parents, with low education, one of them lived with a single parent after a “run-for-it” from the house, and both apparently didn’t have much of an education. So, here we have two youngsters, distressed by lack of money, and leaving a track of crimes on their wake while naively hanging to the certainty that everything will be fine.

There’s so much skill in the writings of Kevin that one can only notice if paid very close attention, like when he says: “There was anger, sure, but it faltered like a fluorescent bulb flickering as it couldn’t hold the light. I saw anxiety and fear in the darkness between”, I mean, HOLY MONOPOLY, THAT, is something that takes a lot to get right. Breath-taking! Stealing away, the short story, is very emotional on the sense of family and the despair of slowly losing those who you love, or growing up to realize that they aren’t the heroes, you thought they were, in a sense, yet, in the end, realizing that you should’ve listened to them, because life isn’t as easy as they thought it would be

The diversity and reach of these stories are amazing both in wide as in depth. Stories about bullies and dealing with them, the power of preparedness, the cost of silly mistakes and harshness and the power of regret, all of it told in a cool, dark, straight-up and almost lyrical style of this amazing writer that is Kevin Revolinski.

Sex, drugs and more sex and some more drugs. This is the starting point of this memoir as Donna D. Conrad tells us her experiences throughout the sixties on her early teens, narrated in a objective manner with very well detailed acts that lacked responsibility, or care, on her part, where her choices led her, many times into deep trouble.

From chapter one, we can see that there was a lot going on. She was young, and with sexual instincts running high, looking for adventure and thrills but most of all, a way out of the hell she was living in for most of her life because, apparently, the sixties were much wilder than we think.

The tick-to-tack narrative of Donna D. Conrad helps lot in the reading, as memories are told in a “this is all you need to know for now” manner, light, humorous, sometimes dry and factual and always to the point, and gives the book a pleasant casual atmosphere while we learn about her upbringing with the violent father that beat up her drunk mother, her need to be protected from danger, which created the lack of belief in her own actions/choices. Domestic violence is something that marks the book, and we as reader can see the effects, on the long run, on the kids that see that as they are growing up, something that many parents don’t even consider.

This is a great example of a book, because it lets young girls see the power of choosing, depending and not taking responsibility, and the consequences of it and actually choosing a better path, as the author did, in order to get to where they want to get, and have the life they dream to have.
