We Won’t All Survive

By Kate Alice Marshall

 

Summary:

Two years ago, Mercy Gray was hailed as a hero for saving lives during a mall shooting. She still carries souvenirs from that day: the fragment of a bullet lodged in her back, a mountain of medical debt, and guilt for ignoring her sister’s warnings that the sweet boy next door was anything but.

So when billionaire turned TV host Damien Dare recruits Mercy to compete on his new survivalist reality show, she can’t turn down a chance at the whopping cash prize that could send her sister to college. But when she and the other contestants arrive at the off-grid location, something isn’t right. The set is empty. The gates close without warning, trapping them inside. And then one of them turns up dead. What appeared at first to be a tragic accident quickly transforms as more contestants start dropping like flies. With time and resources running low, surviving this show takes on a whole new meaning. Mercy must figure out who to trust. Before she’s next.

 

Review: 5-Stars

This book took me by surprise.  From the summery it felt like it would be just your average tale, but I was wrong. It engages you from the start to where you can’t put it down until you finish it. What a page-turner this book is.

The Characters, the emotions, the setting are all down to perfection. You can picture the story in your mind as you’re reading. And nothing was what I had thought it would be. It shocked me how it ended and I was very pleased that the Author did such an awesome job with all the twists and turns withing the storyline.

Conclusion:

Would I recommend this book to others?  YES

Would I read other books written by this Author? YES

Would I buy this book for others? YES

The Spell to Wake the Dead

By Nicole Lesperance

 

Summary:

When Mazzy and her best friend Nora sneak down to the beach one moonlit night to cast a spell, they don’t expect to find a dead body. But as the tide rolls in, it carries the remains of a woman who is missing her hands and teeth.

The girls know they should leave the investigation to the police, but they can’t shake the weird, supernatural connection they feel with the dead woman. Using spellwork and divination, they set out to find answers of their own. But after they uncover a rash of local disappearances stretching back years—and both girls start having occult visions and hearing ghostly, whispering voices—Mazzy worries that she and Nora are in danger.

Then, Nora finds a second body. And the whispering voice is telling her where to find more. With everything spiraling, Mazzy needs to figure out who to trust and how to sever this supernatural connection—or she and Nora might be the next bodies to wash up on the beach.

 

Review: 5-Stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story. It sounded aright.  Something I’d enjoy and take a day or two to read, feeling it would be just an average story, but was I wrong, oh so wrong.

This story from the first paragraph to the last is what I refer to as a page turner one that you can’t put down and have to continue to read from start to finish in one setting.

It engages the mind, trying to figure out just what’s really going on. The author really knows how to develop characters who are believable and feel real. She also paints a picture of what you’re reading, so it feels like you’re watching a movie, along with capturing the emotions of all the different characters. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read in years, one that I will pick up multi times.
