First, want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

A Reason to Live A Reason to Love Series: Book One is one of T.K. Chapin’s will be one of his best series yet. I have been a huge fan of T.K. Chapin for a while now and each book he puts out amazes me. Each one gets better than the last one. What is it with single men and young kids put in difficult positions in books that just tug on my heart strings?! Mix in a little bit of what T.K. does best with incorporating his faith into the story and you have an amazing story!

So many times in this book I wanted to jump into the book and hug the characters. So much heartache and pain in many of the characters. However, a chance encounter brings two people together and changes both of their lives for the better. It is a truly amazing story that will make your heart smile!

I must add that I am totally in love with the cover! Even before I knew what the book was about I knew I had to read this book! Kudos to T.K.’s Graphic Designer.

First, I want to thank Ameila Hendrey for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Warning to fellow readers this book is not for everyone. This book has topics such as violence, domestic abuse, verbal abuse, rape, abandonment at age 3, and could be a trigger to many. The material in this book is not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

Ameila Hendrey is one of the bravest and one of the strongest woman I know to share her story in What Nobody Knew.  This is her story of the emotional, mental and most of all the horrid physical pain that was inflicted by her father over and over throughout the years. How her Step Mom just let it happen and how her biological Mom at age 3 abandoned her.

So many times I wanted to jump in the book and rescue her from everything that was going on. 

You cant help but get emotionally attached to this character whom pulls on so many of your heart strings. Infact, there are two times in this book that I literally cried for Amelia! I said this once and I will say it again nobody deserves what Amelia went through. This is one book that will stick with you way after the book ends.

One of the aspect of the books that I really enjoyed were the reports from Social Services. You got their view of what they thought what was really happening to Ameila. Obviously, some personal information to respect the privacy was left out. 

However, In this story you got Ameila’s truth, her father’s lies, and what Social Services.

I seriously think this would make an awesome movie on Lifetime TV or a Netflix Original. 

Cuckoo by Robert Kerins (Lewiston Writers Group)

First, I want to thank Robert Kerins and The Lewiston Writers Group for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Before, I begin my review I want to mention that this book may trigger some readers. This book contains abduction, date rape drug, rape with the intent of getting pregnant, etc. If any of these offend you this book may not be for you.

WOW!!! Robert Keirns really knows how to write a fast paced, jaw dropping, amazing, crime novel that once you start reading you can’t put down. Even if you tried to put it down you just can’t. You need to know how it ends!! Robert wrote a never been written before story line that will just shock you to your core!! As a woman reading this you will feel for these women in the book and what they have gone through. You will be disgusted by the man behind it all. Overall, I now have a new favorite crime author and his name is Robert Keirns. I can’t wait to read his other books.

One thing I really loved about this book was all the references to places in WNY. I smiled at many of the places I go to like Tops, Tim Hortons (my favorite place to get Coffee), Toys-R-Us, Niagara Falls, DiCamillo’s, Leonardo’s Pizza & Subs, etc. I could visualize the places that he was talking about in the book seeing that I was familiar with them. That made me smile and more connected with the book.

This book started out fast and one of the scenes that hooked me in the beginning of the book had me biting my short nails. Having the woman’s body going over the rocks of the Niagara Falls. Being familiar with The Niagara Falls I could picture this woman going over The Falls. Honestly, I could picture myself be that woman and going over The Falls. Granted she was found dead. But WOW the way he described it-I was in pain just reading it.

I am going to be very hesitant next time I go to Tops and interact with their employees.

This is one book that will stay with you with you emotionally and mentally way after you read it. I also feel strongly that this book would be great as a movie on Lifetime TV Channel.
