Book: The Patient from Silvertree
Author: Marian Dribus
Book Series: Silvertree Series Book 1
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommended For...: Horror, quick reads
Publication Date: July 31, 2020
Publisher: Indie Published
Pages: 275
Recommended Age: 17+ (Mental health, Death, Suicide, Kidnapping, Language, slight romance)
Synopsis: Lisa is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in Silvertree, a town where an illegal medical experiment was conducted many years ago by a man named Peterson. Lisa’s parents are drifting apart: her father works long hours as a doctor, and her mother is stuck in the past. A dying woman arrives at Lisa’s house and demands to be treated with the drug Peterson invented. Lisa expects her father to refuse, but he agrees, and Lisa’s whole life is turned upside down. When an inquisitive stranger appears in Silvertree and starts asking questions, Lisa realizes her family is in danger. Desperate to protect her father, she finds herself keeping secrets from everyone except the boy of her dreams—but can he be trusted?
Review: Overall I liked how this book turned out. It was a fun and fast paced read. The plot was intriguing and it was entertaining.
However, I did feel like the characterization of mental health wasn't the best and that the characters were flat and there wasn't much separating them.
Verdict: It was a good book, but I'm concerned.

Rating: 4/5
Recommended For...: Mystery, thriller
Publication Date: February 1, 2021
Publisher: Irresistible Publishing
Pages: 305
Recommended Age: 17+ (Language, Gore, and Violence)
Synopsis: Home from college for the summer, Connor is upstairs, listening to his parents argue, when a windowless van pulls up on the front yard and a masked man charges into the house. He knocks out Connor's father, tasers his mother, and then, as quick as he came, he is gone.
The police quickly exhaust their leads. No ransom call comes. And Connor takes it upon himself to find his parents before it is too late. That quest, however, is complicated when he crosses paths with a group of anarchists bent on causing chaos in New York City. And their plan, Connor learns, is not only related to the abductions, it will also upend everything he thought he knew about his family.
Review: For the most part this was a good book. I really like the premise of it, I found it really intriguing. I thought that the book did good with the world building and character development as well.
However, I did feel like the book had a bit of a pacing problem. I felt like the book was way too slow for what it was and I felt like the writing got a bit wonky in the middle and I didn't find myself enjoying it towards the end.
Verdict: It was good.

Synopsis: In a distant future… A world divided… A wasteland at war…
In trouble with the Jackroller crime syndicate, and with the warlords of The Black Mulga on her tail, Ari must confront her past when she sets out across the war-torn wasteland to rescue Starla from the clutches of the infamous Bone Pointer.
Review: For the most part I really like this sequel. I thought that it was a very good with green and I noticed throughout the reading that this book can be read as a standalone which is always a plus to any reader I really like the world building of this book and I also really enjoyed the pacing.
However, I do feel like the book is a bit repetitious in its story. I felt like but kind of repeated some of the same events from the first book and I also felt like we didn't really get to see any substantial character development especially from Starla.

Book: The Mermaids Melt at Dawn: A Collection of Kindred Yarns
Author: Grendolyn Peach Soleil
Book Series: Standalone
Rating: 3/5
Recommended For...: mermaid lovers, fantasy, historical fiction
Publication Date: July 19, 2020
Genre: Fantasy
Recommended Age: 18+ (romance, slight violence)
Publisher: Indie Published
Pages: 75
Synopsis: Faraway, on the edge of a sapphire sea, there’s a fabled island where Cajun folklore meets Greek mythology, where the bayou meets the sea, and where humans meet mermaids.
On the surface, The Mermaids Melt at Dawn appears innocent enough, but the swamp hags and sea witches of old remind us that appearances can be deceiving. Filled with fascinating characters, a touch of romance, some wicked twists, and a dash of magic, The Mermaids Melt at Dawn is a captivating voyage for fans of historical fiction, fairy tales, and mythology.
From the Louisiana swamps to the wild waters of Barbiche Island, Rok Lejeune embarks on a nautical adventure to the mystic island of mermaids, but Rok is not the only creature with a story to tell. Barbiche Island is home to a pair of warring mermaid sisters, power-hungry Poseidon, petulant gods, and other mysterious monsters. The mermaids of Barbiche Island sing of love, survival, and betrayal, but will they answer the burning question? Why do the mermaids melt at dawn?
Review: That's what was pretty good. I felt like there was a lot of good character development and that the world building was very well done. The book overall is pretty well written.
However, I do feel like that the book has some issues. There is more than one there in the back and that we came really confusing from me because of the amount of pages after we're in this book. I also didn't expect this to be an adult book, but I also don't read blurbs so maybe that was my fault. I also felt like painting was a little bit too fast and that maybe the story needs more written to be fully flushed out.
Verdict: It was ok!

Synopsis: The truth is all around you
Thomas P- is exhausted. He's been travelling for work so much he barely knows where he is. And then, while waiting for a table at a restaurant, he sees someone from his past. Exactly as she was twenty years ago, when they first knew each other. Deeply shaken, he tries to carry on as if nothing happened.
But when it happens again, in a different restaurant, in a different city, Thomas's world begins to unravel. Haunted by a magnificent black parrot and a past he wants to forget, he becomes paranoid, unsure whether he can trust himself and the world around him.
After he sees another friend he thought he had forgotten, he realises he is lost and alone, and afraid of his own mind. Then an enigmatic woman tells him he is not seeing things but rather his memory has been mined to create life-like androids that are replacing the human race one by one.
And then he is arrested.
Will Thomas resist the mysterious woman and get his life back? Or will he join her cult and take up arms in the fight to save us all?
Review: I had to DNF this book at 20%. I couldn’t stand reading this book. It had an unreliable narrator, the story didn’t flow, and it was hard to follow along.

Synopsis: Nobody appreciates Cosmin von Brandt’s genius in magitech weapon designs. As a low-level employee at the Magitech Development and Caster Regulation Bureau, and the only surviving son of a disgraced politician still living at home with his parents, Cosmin is determined to make a name for himself. Soon, everyone will understand that he is a luxury few can afford. At least, until he makes one catastrophic mistake too many . . .
After being kicked out by his exes, no one is left to help him get back on his feet. With nowhere left to go, Cosmin winds up on the lower levels of Euria, in a sordid casino with nothing but the suit on his back. On the verge of ruination, he falls into the crosshairs of a shrewd market analyst, and the man she works for—the most powerful businessman you’ve never heard of, a man who could use someone like the young Cosmin von Brandt.
At first, Cosmin is willing to give, and do, whatever is necessary to get back into the good graces of those looming above him. But as he spirals deeper into the underground world of Euria, where the limits of his magic are pushed, and his magitech designs are put to the ultimate test, Cosmin begins to realize the ugly truth behind those he admires the most. Questions rise, and Cosmin begins to wonder exactly what it is he wants, what he desires. The answers Cosmin unearths will rock Euria to its foundation.
