Hello and welcome to my blog of wonders. Here you can find book reviews of books of all origins and genres. I will always be honest when it comes to reviewing any book. I try and keep my blog up to date and filled with truthful and fun reviews. So, let's get started, shall we?
           
  I was sent a copy for review purposes by the author herself, Tamara Palmer. I’ve never heard of this author before and I’m thankful I was given this opportunity. “Missing Tyler” is her debut novel that follows Katrina Carlin as she heals and copes with losing someone special. Kit has to bury her twin brother, Tyler and put her life back together. She has to learn to cope and grieve with the loss of her best friend. She finds support, love, and laughter in unexpected places. 

This book was an easy and quick read and I enjoyed watching Kit grow and cope with her loss. Kit is a strong and smart character who has learned that the world does go on when someone close to you passes on. Unlike her mother and father who can’t seem to cope with the loss of their child. Her father was probably my least favorite character in the book only because of how he treated his family in the beginning. 

I personally don’t know how I would cope if I ever lost someone that close to me. I give a lot of credit to Kit for maturing at such a young age. The story started out on a negative note and ended with such an uplifting feeling. I really enjoyed this read and I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I want to thank the author again for taking your time and sending me your book.

            Hello and welcome to my blog of wonders. Here you can find book reviews of books of all origins and genres. I will always be honest when it comes to reviewing any book. I try and keep my blog up to date and filled with truthful and fun reviews. So, let's get started, shall we?

            This book was sent to me by the author herself, Kyla Ross. I've reviewed one of her previous works before, "
A Trinity of Wicked Tales: Jilted Love” and it was a 4 star read. When I read her previous book, I did enjoy the concept and where she took the twisted tales. But, the only negative thing I had to say about the book wasn’t even about how it was written; it was the length. So, when she reached out to me to review her newest work it was an automatic yes for me. Since I enjoyed her other work I was bound (pun intended) to enjoy this book. So it wasn’t a surprise when I fell in love with "When We Swing" 

"When We Swing" synopsis on Goodreads states “Friends have a way of breaking a person out of their comfort zone . . . Mark has always felt like an outsider. Growing up, being bullied and teased, he doubted his life would ever get better. Then he meets his new college roommate, Blain Prazzel.
            Blain is the opposite of Mark, popular and oozing a sex appeal women can’t resist. Mark would kill to live in Blain’s world and gets his chance when Blain invites him and their roommate, John Motley, to a party.
            After college, they go into business together and quickly become an overnight success. But when they each find their mates; their friendship is put to the test.
Will these women interfere with their bond or will they find a new adventure awaits each of them? Where darkness and light sing their own forbidden melody of taboo? Where words, when spoken, have the power to change their lives forever?
           
            The thing I loved most about this book was that the synopsis didn’t give away the entire plot like some books do. I was honestly surprised when I started reading this book.  I had an open mind and I enjoyed not knowing what the entire book was about. The funny thing is by time I received the book in the mail, I totally forgot what it was about.  But, the deeper I got into the book, the more intrigued I was to continue reading. I thought the characters were pretty developed for the most part. There were characters that got under my skin most of the book.

            This book had the ability to keep me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover. It had suspenseful and wtf moments throughout the book. There were no dull moments and everything flowed pretty well for the most part. There were few moments where I became lost with whether it was the past or present for a specific character. But even those small hiccups I strongly believe this is a 5 star read. Again, as I said in the beginning this is purely my own opinion. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers mixed with erotic moments.

            I want to thank you, Kyla Ross for sending me your work and believing in my opinion.   I am always thankful for any authors that sent me their work in past, as well as the future authors. This read is definitely a recommended read. Especially for someone that wants a great read and enjoys anything horror or suspense related.
