Enduring

My mind is blown. I have nothing but good things to say about this book and I truly believe the series deserves to be published. I will stand in line to buy the collection for my personal library. That said, Enduring is the equivalent of watching the most depressing scene in a movie, Think of Bambi, or Land Before Time, or a more current movie that made you bawl like a baby. Jacky really did well pulling on the heart strings. I had my theories as to how this third book would work out. In Eternity we are left with Vladimir's untimely death. In my mind, I just knew that the person who died was an illusion and Julia's connection to Juana is they are the same person. In Enduring, I expected Julia to race back in time and somehow get trapped, change her name, and find the count. How wrong I was. There are other theories running through my mind, but I won't list them here. Again this book shows the depth of Jacky's research and intelligence as she weaves historical facts into a captivating fantasy. Do yourself the service and read the Forevermore 45 Chronicles. You won't be disappointed,

There is a place for us.

Where I don't typically read same sex romance books, I enjoyed this story for what is it. I love the how the author touches on homelessness and brings two very different worlds together. It is a unique setting and touched me deeply. My only complain is the blurb is a little long. The back story should be revealed through the characters as they take us on their journey. Shorten it a little and leave a potential reader wondering what is inside the book. Very well done, Continue doing what you are doing.

Ezra Black

This story starts off following a fun stereotypical shy girl that any shy girl can relate to. She is absolutely adorable and you instantly want to root for her The first chapter of the book seems a little long like the author struggled to write a perfect first day of college. Within that chapter really is the perfect meeting of a best friend. The laughing and bonding brings me back to when I met my best friend. The warm feelings are there, but there can be too much of a good thing. Ezra is your typical rich and powerful guy who can't resist the sweet innocent girl. The meeting between the two characters is written in both POV's. Where it is important the know the inner thoughts of the characters, I found it distracting to read the scene twice. I would recommend the scene with Ezra's point of view. Olivia day dreams about that night during class, so that would be a good place to say how she felt about the encounter. Overall, I like the youthfulness of the story. It reminds me of high schoolers instead of college students, but that doesn't hinder the experience of getting to know the characters. Well done :)

TKoT: Bonded

This book was a charming short adventure as a hidden goddess discovers her heritage and begins on a nail biting adventure with new friends. The grammer needs some work. At times the story feels a little rough. Overall I enjoyed this story, and can't wait to see what happens next.

Case of the Bone Freak

I enjoyed reading this little tail. It mixes paranormal occurrences with everyday life and focuses on the city's crime division as the detectives search for the bad guy. This story is fun for anyone, like me, who enjoys the cops and robbers stories. This author has grown exponentially throughout his writing. There are still a few quirks that need to be worked out, but the book was easy to read and I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Forevermore

I absolutely don't have anything negative or helpful to write for you review. I loved this book and I agree with one of your commenters. Why isn't this book published? As I read the book I ran across a couple fragmented sentences, but and editor could iron those out for you. I love the twist of history and fantasy you created. It is definitely flows along with the original vampire. There are so many different variations of them that it is refreshing when something original comes along. You made subtle changes to your vampire, but it doesn't take away from the fundamental monster that is Dracula. Standing ovation to you and a huge five. This is the first book in this platform that I hit the 'heart' button from my freewill. You deserve it!

Mind night blue

This book puts a unique twist on the vampire and creates a Bampire that feeds on the sexual lusts of virgins. I appreciate the imagination and backstory to the creatures, but the plot seems rushed and the story is mostly dialogued unless Ju Ju is watching a sex scene. The author tries to bring his readers in and touch all senses by making the story interactive and gives suggested songs to listen to while reading certain parts of the story. He provides the songs through his Spotify play list. The story has a lot of potential and I did enjoy the creative concept of the story, but the book is not for me.

flower on the riverbank

This story follows and battle worn general who finds an infant in a destroyed village. After the war the general keeps the girl and becomes her teacher until another war ensues. He tries to keep her hidden until he is bedridden and is forced to give his position to another, younger general. The younger general makes a connection with the girl, who is now and adult, and struggles with his feelings. The Author painted a wonderful world and pulls the reader through the story in the young girl's P.O.V. The reader gets to experience her childhood, and I found myself reminiscing on times where I had similar experiences. Tragedy makes it's claim and makes your heart bleed for the girl, but as with life, when one door closes, another door opens. The story continues on and brings a smile to your face. The only recommendation I have is to create more of a dynamic between the characters. You tend to narrate the scene more than allowing the characters to experience it and allow the reader to see what is happening. The Showing vs Telling aspect changes later in the book and the story telling becomes incredible. I enjoy this book and look forward to who your MC will choose as a companion.

Reforged

The author of this story has a vivid imagination. The characters and the world around them are intricately created, bringing the reader into the fantasy as it is being played out. You start out waking up alongside a sleeping goddess as her awareness slowly materializes, and then you are thrust into the beginnings of a war between gods. The chessboard of life is created in this book where you meet the characters who are unknowingly part of the game. It will be interesting to see how the story unfolds in the next volume. The concept of the story is excellent, but the writing style needs some work. The author tends to repeat a description in various different ways within the same paragraph, and the characters can be a little long winded. Overall, Great work! Happy writing! Crixi

Her Familiar Stranger

I like the story so far and the way the story flows. You have me grinning by the end of chapter four and wondering how Ceylan will react to the text message. Great job so far!
