Blitz : My August

Synopsis:

August and I have been inseparable since childhood, but one kiss changed everything. Suddenly, I began to see things in a new light – not just about myself, but about him as well. It was as if he had morphed into a different person right before my eyes.

Sick, deviant, twisted – words I never would have associated with us before, now seem to fit like a glove.

Despite the fact that he slowly chipped away at my sanity and made me see the ugliest parts of himself, I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving his side. Even as things grew increasingly dark and twisted between us, I remained fiercely loyal to the boy I had once called my best friend.

Blitz : Stars like Gasoline

 Synopsis:

When Celia, a Florida art curator, purchases the haunted house of her brother’s deceased fiancé, the spirits threaten her life and her career. To rid the home of the malevolent ghosts, she enlists the help of her brother, Oscar, and Adrian, the best friend of Oscar’s late fiancé, who’d been killed as an Afghanistan veteran. The three are about to be thrown into a chasm of events involving a dead French artist, a Dutch aerospace heiress, and a missing Japanese painter who is presumed to be dead. Not to mention a stalker that begins to threaten Celia and Oscar.

The link between these events appears to be a hidden journal from the 1980s Celia discovers in the home, belonging to a dead, but revered French artist. As Adrian helps decipher the clues, an attraction burns between him and Celia, raising the stakes of the game someone is playing. A game that no one might make it out of alive.

 Synopsis:

A magical dragonfly. A science-focused society. Only one can bring the land and her people from the brink of death.

Sixteen-year-old Governor’s daughter Etoiny longs to throw off her upper-class responsibilities and become the first female scientist of Taachat. When she accidentally wounds a thought-extinct dragonfly, she must race to find a bygone cure in order to present it to the Science Society for admission.

While she researches remedies for the dragonfly, she and the creature form a bond that can’t be explained by science. The dragonfly also revives dying blooms all Taachat’s citizens need to stay alive for the next three-year cycle. Her dead mother’s missing journal could offer insight if only Etoiny could find it.

She soon realizes two powerful people are on the hunt for the dragonfly and its healing ability. Just as Etoiny finds a way to save her dragonfly, she discovers horrors her father has allowed in the underbelly of Taachat and it makes her question who she wants to be.

Etoiny must decide whether to claim her place as a renowned scientist by offering the creature for experimentation or sacrifice her dream, team up with her animal friend, and fulfill their magical destiny.

Blitz : We are Villians

Synopsis:

From the author of the DARK FAE comes this *dark slasher romance* in vein of our beloved 90s Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Sailors Bay has a bit of a problem… a serial killer problem.

What should be a sleepy old fishing town—a place so silent and forgotten that it slips off the map—has murder in the air and secrets poisoning the heart of the town.
Here… no one is safe when a masked killer starts terrorising the town.

Blood Hood is coming after them: Billie—from the wrong side of the tracks—and her friends… The ones who have a deadly secret of their own, one they kept for seven years… a dark secret that Blood Hood seems to know all about.

One by one, Blood Hood hunts them down to avenge the murder that started it all.

And Billie finds herself running from Blood Hood as well as the love of her life and ex, Dalton.

With slashed-up bodies piling up all over, Billie flees more than a masked killer… Dalton hunts her to every corner of Sailors Bay, intent on stealing her back… whether she wants him to or not.

Love is meant to flourish. Poison corrupts.
Poison is all I know.

We are all villains here….

Book review : Miserable Lies

Book review :

This book had suspense, intrigue, action and well plotted characters. The storyline kept me intrigued and flowed nicely throughout. The rollercoaster ride of twists and turns makes the reader on the edge of their seats. 

 The story is very well written, fast-paced, the circumstances are believable, and the culprit is caught in the end but not before causing more damage. Danica devoted her life to helping people and finding the truth about her own family, and that will almost cost her life and whatever resemblance of familial ties she had with the one that was nearest to her.

In short, a thriller that behind the typical serial killer story hides a complex and decidedly unusual plot. The author has well penned the plot with intriguing storyline narrated in a vivid manner. 

I highly recommend reading this book! Its well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for Providing me this book in return of an honest review. Do grab this book if you like reading thriller books.

Happy Reading!

Book review : Mixed Lives

 Book review :

Mixed lives is a blend of small stories compiled in one. These stories are narrated as per author 's experience as a common day to day routine. The motive behind sharing these incidents is to pour light on the real humanity and spirituality that is somewhere lacking these days.

In one of the story , the author shares the devastation caused in the growing years of a boy because of becoming a part of swag in college and got addicted to alcohol that his prestigious time and honour of parents were at risk at one point of time. The journey of that boy and how he received help from his loved ones being a single child to recover from his deadly habit of drinking to become a sensible and responsible person. 

Quote from the book that intrigued me :

🍎 " Our origin is the soul and acknowledging it leads us back to purity, Peacefulness and Bliss".

🍎 " Marriage is an institution where we live together. We learn togetherness, cooperation, unity, binding and over all love".

The author has well tried to bring in light some incidents of her life that become an example for living and if stuck in some bad habits then no regrets. Time is the biggest healer. To stop fighting with circumstances is not a solution but to fight and win them is a victory. 

Overall, Mixed Lives is a book that depicts vividly the intertwingling of relations and how one can suffer because of mistake of his near ones. It also teaches about some basic concepts of life that are true but hard to accept at times. 

Do grab this book if you are fond of short stories with a tinge of life changing lessons.
