AI want to start off by saying that I received book arc. In return for my honest thoughts and my review. I have never read anything from this author. After reading this book definitely will be reading more books from this author. This book honestly took my a long time to read. Not because I didn’t like or it was too much for me. I wanted like most books I read and love. To take my time and get to know the characters. Abby and I were alike. I was in a bad relationship not marriage. Where I didn’t think I could leave or I had a place to go. Or I thought this person would change over time. Just like Abby wanted that change. Abby is not just a character in a book for me. But a friend I can pick a smile that everything worked out for her in the end. Even through she felt that she couldn’t have that ending. Dawson what can I say about you. Everyone needs a Dawson in their lives. I got mine years later. I know I got the paperback but I needed ebook to so I ended up preordering the ebook. For a future reread and notes. This book and the author does amazing job with DV. How Dawson wanted to make sure Abby was okay through all. Even if Abby wanted to do her leave on her own time. He respected that for Abby. Even through it killed him inside. If there is one book I recommend for 2023 this is the book. Yes it does have some spice. But it’s done nicely. About Book: Abby is young art teacher living a secret. Her husband abuses her. Over time it has gotten worse. Since Abby can’t have children. When Abby and her husband are on their way home tragedy strikes. And things change for Abby and her husband. You ever hear a song and you can’t get it out of your head. That’s is Dawson who is out one day with a buddy and he hears the most beautiful laugh and can’t get it out of his head. Dawson is military vet, whose sister tragically died of the hands of her boyfriend. Dawson problem is he is scared to settle down. Until he hears that laugh. These two characters come together in away that the universe had its own plans. Dawson and Abby learn and are both haunted by their past and the what ifs. I highly recommend this book over and over. This book is set to be released May 30, 2023 I am so happy that I had the opportunity to read such a tragic and beautifully done book. (Note how do I pick up another book after reading this.) Thank you to rrbooktours and the author for this opportunity.

Let me start off by saying this book is absolutely amazing. Just like book one this book didn’t disappoint me. The charactabsolutely amazing book!!!!
Let me start off by saying this book is absolutely amazing. Just like book one this book didn’t disappoint me. The characters and the world picked up where book one left off. If you haven’t read book 1. You need to read book 1. I don’t want to give to much away if you haven’t read book one. But you will not be disappointed. I think I said this in my review for book 1. But I usually don’t read fantasy. But these two books took my heart ate it and spit it out. This book took me a little bit long. But I wasn’t rushing through this tragic and heartbreaking story. And the twists and secrets and other things I don’t want to spoil. OMG Each chapter had me saying what the heck. Now I love different POV for each chapter. I have to say there are characters from book one that still have my heart in this book. I think my hold for these characters are super strong and special. Chapter 48 broke me and took me down a dark place. Tears ...more

I want to start off by saying. That I apologize for a late review. I usually don’t waste anytime. In writing my reviews. SecA beautiful written story
I want to start off by saying. That I apologize for a late review. I usually don’t waste anytime. In writing my reviews. Second I was given a complimentary ebook copy. In return for my honest thoughts and review. Third I absolutely love this book so much. That half way through I ordered my own finished ebook copy. I wanted to take my time reading this book. I didn’t want to miss anything while reading. This book is definitely on the favorites of 2023 list for me. The characters and the world development amazing. There were a few times and characters where I thought okay they up to something. I loved that each of the girls personally very opposite of each other. Hannah personality gave me that she doesn’t need anyone and that she a strong person. Which is okay to have. But had a bit of attitude with Cammie and Sabina. I am sure she was never always like with them. I feel maybe she is that way because she lost her mother when she was younger. Only left with her dad. Cammie and Sabina seem very closer to each other. Just by the way Sabina came to Cammie when she needed her. I enjoyed each POV from each of the girls. Caelan was bit of a mystery person. I didn’t expect him to be a big piece of this story. I loved his overprotecting personality. But I also felt very sad for him. Watching so many die around him. This book has so many turn and twists and mystery. It’s definitely a page turner. And I world that you get sucked into. I can’t t wait for book two. And what becomes of these characters. Thank you again to the author and RRbooktours for the opportunity to read such a beautifully written book. Love this world and the characters....more

I want to start off by saying that I received complimentary ebook arc. In return for my honest thoughts and review. This is the second book that I havI want to start off by saying that I received complimentary ebook arc. In return for my honest thoughts and review. This is the second book that I have read from this author. Just like The Vengeance of Samuel this book didn’t disappoint. I always enjoy a short and packed historical fiction and romance. When I do read books about WW2 at times they are hard to get through. I felt like I was down there with Jonas has hearing these people terrible stories. When Jonas was in the his and Ava hiding spot. A little beat up boy comes in and tells Jonas that his father turn him and his mother in. For them being Jewish. The father started a new family. Because the father wasn’t Jewish. That is going to be with this kid forever. I loved Jonas heart and how he was listening to the people being rescued. I felt so sorry for these two Ava who always grew up believing she was always something else. Jonas always believing the people around him. Jonas unaware of the terrible things that were going on in the SS army. He truly believe that he and his father were doing the right thing. How many lies Jonas has suffered through once he realized the truth. This book is amazing but it will pull at your heart. Just has it mine. I am definitely continuing to read more books from this author. Her books are short but they are packed. I highly recommend this book. These characters will be ones I don’t forget. I have end this review by saying that. Ava is a strong woman. She loved Jonas enough to help him. When he thought everything he knew wasnt what it seemed. About Book: Ava and Jonas grew up only believing that they were going to be successful SS. Never knowing each other was different. Until one day Ava goes missing. Before Jonas could surprise her. Years go by and Jonas is still looking for his love. When Jonas is requested to find the Black fox who is rescuing Jews. He uncovers and different world and understanding. That he himself couldn’t believe. Thank you to Henry Roi Booktours and the author for the opportunity to read a heart and tragic story....more

This being my first time reading anything from this author. Definitely wont be the last book. I read from this author. This book is short read but it packed with so much information and heartache. I can say that I ready for the next installment. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres to read. Like many this book didn’t disappoint. Had my heart the whole time while reading. I couldn’t image the heartache Samuel went through hearing what he heard. And to live with those sounds forever. I am sure there are many people who survived the War2 can tell you the things they still see when they close their eyes. I highly recommend this book. Again it’s a short read. About Book; This book is set during the WW2. Samuel is faced with the nightmare of hearing and seeing his family killed. And determined to hunt down the man that killed his family. On his journey to find the man who killed his family. He is take a man to safety. When faced with the man who killed his family does Samuel kill him?

Definitely will be adding more future books from this author. Carly is a 17 year old character who is very relatable to the now times. I really felt bad for her. With her parents always fighting about money and forgetting important things. Leaving Carly to do for herself. Friends who she thought were friends hurting her and making her feel less then. And doing crappy things to her behind her back. She started not caring about or learning not to care of what others thought. Even her mother trying to be this fake person. To please others in the neighbor or community they lived in. I just love Alex and his family and friends are so funny. Friends and people that would love to hang out with all day. I had so much fun reading this book. I would wanted this book to never end.

I felt like I just opened up Lottie joI want to start off by saying that I received a paperback version. In return for my honest thoughts and review. I felt like I just opened up Lottie journal and started reading old friends journal. I could see a lot Lottie in myself. I too loved to write been writing since I was 10 years old too. I too thought the choices I was making were right or I didn’t have a choice in that moment. When you have plans for your future mapped out. Something changes where all your plans are out the window. I couldn’t put this book down. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. When I requested to join this Booktour. The writing and journal format amazing job. Lottie had me in tears too. I wanted to hug her tell her it’s going to be okay and don’t give up yet. Henry is a jewel he never gave up on Lottie at all. When you are met to be you know. That you breathe and sleep that person no matter where you are in life. That was Henry and Lottie. This book is a book that I will definitely be rereading. There characters will be ones I remember. That epilogue was short but had me going to the restroom to cry. Heck this book might just have put me in reading slump. The only and the only character that I wanted to hurt was Danny. OMG I cant believe him. Yes Joe Henry older brother was bad. Danny was such a you know what. I could talk and write about this book all day long. But I am excited to know there will be another book coming out. I highly recommend this book so many times over. Favorite characters and book of 2023 for me. I did end up buying a ebook copy. This author books are definitely auto buys for me.

I must admit that I ended up buying my own copy almost through the first half. Once I got started reading I couldn’t put this book down. Yes this book took me a little bit longer to finish. But I couldn’t just speed read a book like this. While reading feeling so many emotions that I have never read or heard about these women before. I definitely I will be adding more books from this author to my tbr. I love the writing style. And how the author told Catherine story so beautifully. Now knowing that these weren’t just characters these were women fighting for justice. My heartaches reading Catherine story. How much she fight until the end for her children and for others. I couldn’t imagine how her heart felt being so young and going through all this. And no one believing her and her coworkers. I have deep sympathy for Tom her husband. Not listening to his family about marry Catherine. But always stood by Catherine side until the end. This definitely a book I will always remember and hold close because these women fought. And it’s apart of our history. The part of this book I will hold close. Is Christmas reading Catherine listening to the radio of President Roosevelt and the hymns being sang. It’s almost like I was there watching her laying in bed hoping and praying for miracle. There were so many times I had tears in my eyes reading the worst Catherine got. It broke me. Even when she lost friends of the poison that was killing her slowly. Now I feel like I must read more and learn more about these beautiful women. Definitely a book favorite of 2023 for me. Again thank you to the author and coffee and thorns booktours....more

I highly recommend this book. Thanks you the author and tide.Phoenix. Coffee for the opportunity to read such amazing short story. ...more
I want start off by saying that I received a complimentary audiobook. In return for my honest thoughts and review. Hands down to the narrator. AmazingI want start off by saying that I received a complimentary audiobook. In return for my honest thoughts and review. Hands down to the narrator. Amazing I couldn’t stop listening to this book. Usually audiobooks take me awhile to finish or even get through them. So I am so happy that I signed up for this Booktour. The characters and world the author created amazing. Kate losing her job and the man who she is caught messing around. Side note they both of should have gotten fired. The nerve of the company to take credit for all her work. Kate losing her half sister. Now she has to be responsible for her nephew Teague. Who I admire even though he doesn’t speak to people. Just the people he hears and the paintings he does. I love how Kate wanted to find out what the causes of what is wrong with her nephew. Love the family history and family dynamics mystery and drama. And even learning genetics and they are passed down. ( even special abilities) This is set in dual times 1920 to 2003 New York and Ireland. and different POV of views. Which to some get confused reading/listening to books like this. I absolutely love it. All the characters are very relatable. I do however love the talk of mental illness and schizophrenia. Also special visions/ this site. Seeing things or events before they happen. I really had so much fun listening and the unpredictable and mysteries that unfolded. I am definitely going to be adding more books/ audiobooks from this author. Highly recommend this book over and over. Definitely a 2023 favorite.
