It expands both psychologically and emotionally beyond the story, with Frank and Nadala key players in it. #BookReview https://medium.com/@AngieMangino/night-sirens-39921b51e2af?sk=7d530cc64681a7633518beae2617b712
In the note to the reader at the end the author writes: “When you write reality-based fiction you’re taking a gamble — cause reality takes discontinuous jumps. I do not advocate violence. I never set out to write a book about insurrection, I simply went where the characters took me. You might call this novel a cautionary tale. An alternate future to spur discussion and debate.” #BookReview https://medium.com/feedium/book-review-shout-the-battle-cry-of-freedom-by-k-m-breakey-f49e8df0ae1c?sk=4230a0fa9552f6f701ad2bed54d63133
Just posted - review of Liars by James O'Loghlin
Don't be put off by LIARS by James O'Loghlin. It's a biggish book at 464 pages, but it fills that size admirably. Engaging, addictive, and intriguing, it's small town setting is used to build a complex story, with personalities, connections, backgrounds and people that are anything but.

Steven Manchester shows us three generations following the customary roles with each other arriving at the point of needing to make tough decisions at the same time.

I review The City in Glass by Nghi Vo. A beautiful story of a city, a demon who loves it, and an angel who loves the demon.
