Review for Blood and Shattered Glass by Tyffani Clark Kemp


Title- Blood and Shattered Glass
By- Tyffani Clark Kemp
Genre- Adult Psychological Romantic Thriller
Expected Publication Date- January 5th, 2015


Blurb-

Four months ago, a traumatic accident put Trista in the psych ward. They were supposed to help her deal with the events that transpired, but something happened to her in there. Something changed her and Jeremi Lloyd can’t figure out what it is. As her guardian, it’s Jeremi’s job to make sure Trista is taken care of. During the day, Trista is happy and content with the best fiancé in the world, but at night, horrible nightmares plague her sleep.
But Jeremi has a huge secret, one the doctors say Trista isn’t ready to handle. It’s a secret that could shatter what little bit of happiness and stability Trista has been able to find.
When Jeremi learns that strange things are happening at the psych ward where Trista was being helped, he starts to wonder if her nightmares and her mental instability aren’t really her fault. And he wonders if the secrets he’s keeping are worth it.
As the answers begin to surface in ways neither Trista or Jeremi could have imagined, so does a level of danger that could be the end of them and their friends. Can they figure out the truth before they’re both committed?






My 4 Star review


Trista is a very troubled women who is deeply in love with her fiancé Damien. He is her everything and she is not herself without him. I mean if she could she would eat, sleep, and drink him up. The thing about her that is odd so to speak is the fact that he is only with her in their home and in her dreams, or shall I say nightmares.

Jeremi is Damien's brother and he is the one that is taking care of Trista but he may or may not have special feelings for her. Now you all know me and my book boyfriends...so yes he is now added to my list, but there is just something about this one ladies and gentlemen. I am so liking him!

Blood Shattered Glass was not what I was expecting at all. There is definitely some twist and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat, while yelling at your kindle. This author had me thinking one thing and then come to find out I was completely wrong and it was something entirely different.
I gave this book 4 stars only because I really didn't feel connected to the book until I was about 30% into it. Blood Shattered Glass really is good and I loved the ending, it just had a rough start that didn't quite catch me at page one or even chapter one. But I stuck it out and am glad I did. This book really gives a new meaning to the saying “we see and hear what we want to see and hear”.

So go and one-click this book when you can...because you will go on one crazy twisty-turny ride! And sometimes it’s the crazy in life that makes everything a lot less crazy. You will enjoy this read I am for sure. So don’t fret the ending makes up for what the beginning gives us.

About the Author-


Tyffani Clark Kemp might be the quietest person in the room, but that just means she’s probably the biggest freak too. She is a multi-genre author with a gift for the written word and a desire to help all Indies reach their full potential. In 2012, she and her best friend Kimberly Fudge started SideStreet Cookie Publishing for authors who want to remain independent, but don’t have the time or the knowledge to do it all themselves. From the age of eleven she dedicated her life to writing and making sure she was good at her craft. Now, she passes that knowledge on to others. Her friends would describe her as determined and giving. She may be quite, but she always has a story to tell.

About Author

Tricia Daniels lives in a small town in Southern Ontario, Canada, where she raised three kids as a single parent. Creativity and imagination is something there is never a short supply of in her home. Between her quick wit and wicked sense of humor she found that she has a passion for writing steamy romance novels. Her goal is simple, tell her story, warm a few hearts, shed a few tears, share a silent chuckle, and occasionally, make people blush.

That's the official version. But the simple truth is... I'm not an author. My friends laugh when I say that. I have never aspired to write the next great love story or take the literary world by storm. I'm just a normal woman, struggling to pay the bills and trying to raise my kids in a home where they feel empowered, supported and loved. 


Love inspires me to write. The same way you all feel when you connect with a fictional character and you feel their emotions, their angst... when you're body gets all warm and squeezy at the good parts. An author experiences those things too when they're writing. I love when the characters take over the story and plot twists develop that I hadn't planned. I love the journey to the HEA even though sometimes that road has a lot of bends in it. I love how two imperfect characters can love each other perfectly. My reward, my inspiration is experiencing through them, a love so deep that I feel it in my own heart.

Review for Ever, Sarah by C.E. Hansen




Ever, Sarah

by

C.E. Hansen


Sarah Williamson wakes up in the hospital with no memory of how she came to be there, or of the handsome stranger standing before her claiming to be her fiancé.

In fact, she doesn't even remember her own name. Every once in a while, she gets these feelings of familiarity, but what scares her the most are the flashes of something horrific happening. These visions haunt her and she finds it difficult to separate the dreams from reality.

Although she learns she has a mother who claims to love her dearly, she feels alone, not knowing who she can trust, or if people are who they claim to be.

Bradley Hunter struggles with the possibility that his fiancé may never remember who he is or the life they were building together. He wants nothing more than to pick up where they left off, but can he protect her from her lack of memory before her accident and the uncertainty and doubt she is feeling?

She finds a diary, evidently written by her and begins to put some of the pieces together, and what she discovers is not only shocking, but it also puts her directly in the path of danger...again. Her fierce determination to know what happened to her and why, sets her on a course that will forever change her life and unlocks some memories that are difficult for her to overcome.

Sarah may never remember everything that happened to her before the 'accident', but she does learn enough to know that she nearly died, and it wasn't an accident.

My 4 star review

All it took was reading the first page of Ever, Sarah for me to know that this book was going to be extremely good. I absolutely did not want to put this book down. I just had to find out what the hell was going on...

What do I mean? Well first off, you learn that Sarah was engaged to this super-hot amazing guy Bradley. But then there was an accident that left her in a coma. When she woke up, she couldn't remember anything. Not even her own name, broke my heart reading that part. But this corny, strong-willed woman pushed forward. Yes...she had some flash backs of little things here and there but what we come to find out is that none of them are true memories.

However, once she gets released from the hospital and goes home...to the home that her and Bradley share, that’s where everything starts to get good. I mean real good as it will literally have you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more. If I were to judge the spot in the book where this happens, I would have to say it is the second half of the book. Not saying the first half was bad but the second half, let me tell you, I was biting my nails reading the rest of Ever, Sarah. It had me on pins and needles all the way up to the end.

C.E. Hansen did an amazing job intertwining romance, lust, passion, love, twists and turns, secrets, craziness, madness, and a bunch of other goodies in this book. And she did a fantastic job giving me...I mean readers, you’re not so typical ending. AND... I loved every minute of it, even though she almost gave me a heart-attack in certain parts.

Oh...and I really want Bradley! Like really want him...

It was coming, the twist of fate that would bring me to my knees. It was up to me, Skye the Skillet, to decide whether to bow down and surrender to its will, or fight back, to fight for what I had left.
To fight for my survival…

5-Star Reviews on amazon.com...

"Rebecca Sherwin is an amazingly talented writer who can convey character's true to life emotions and make the reader experience every moment of a story as he flips frantically through the pages till the wee hours of the night."

"This is an intense novel. It pulls no punches, so to speak. But it is also full of beautiful, tender moments, intense sexuality that will leave you breathless, and heartbreak that will make you sob. You may even have to put the book down and allow yourself some time to experience, with Skye, the impact of what just happened. There is only one phrase that comes to mind for me ... Survival is a total eclipse of the heart."

"The writing makes you experience the events of Skye's life as if you were in her skin. This book is a must read, it’s different, unexpected and the story will stay with you long after you’ve put it down."

With explosive suspense and dark sensuality, Revival, book #2 in the Twisted series, is a passionate, riveting tale of power, conflict and dangerous desire, told by Cut Throat Curtis Mason.
I was a failure. An orphan. A quitter. A heartbreaker. A screw-up. A criminal. A monster.

Beep, beep, beep.
Alone, away from home and emotionally desolate, I was propelled into a life of greed, control and crime when fate played a hand and forced mine into the clutches of Charlie Alexander Tattersell. My vixen. My poison. My villainous addiction.
Beep, beep, beep.
I fought for and against the life that held me captive, but one painful reminder returned to haunt me.
I was the only one who knew the truth.
Skye’s truth. My love. My driving force. My life’s obsession.
Beep, beep, beep.
After enlisting the help of my protégé, Jesse ‘the Gentleman’ Kennedy, the mission began.
I had to find answers, retribution and the spark that would release me from the claws of the abyss and bring me one step closer to the Skillet.
Beep, beep, beep.
With new secrets waiting around every corner, a vicious Charlie waiting to bury me and the haunting memories of every mistake I’d ever made hanging over me, I missed one vital clue.
The key to my revival…
