I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

The author or somebody on behalf of the author contacted my sister through her book reviewing blog asking her to review this book. She said to the person send me two copies and l will pass one on to my sister who reviews books.

First of all l would like to say a big thank you to Frank Cavallo for sending me this book and giving me the chance to read it.

I would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio even if you do not read books like this.

I normally do not read books of this genre but l stepped outside my comfort zone l am so glad l did because l have read so many great books and come across some great authors.

I highly recommend this book.

This book has 404 pages and 64 chapters in it and this book also has 6 parts in it.

Book Dedication: as always, deepest thanks to my family and friends, for your unwaving support. Special thanks to PD coffee gang, for keeping me sane all these years and to Kitty, for giving me this idea a chance to grow and place to settle.

Lastly, I owe a debt to everyone in mongolia crew, especially Suvdaa for showing me your wonderful, wild, beautiful country and Kitty, who made me tell her this entire story in a Russian UAZ-452 on a very long drive through the gobi desert. This one is for all of you – my fellow wanderers of the steppe.

Synopsis: on a research mssion in one of the most remote regions of the world, former navy seal Eric slade and Dr Anna fayne are caught in a mysterious storm. Catapulted through a rift in space – time, they are marooned on a lost world. Struggling to survive and desperate to find a way home, they must confront the dangers of this savage land – a dark wizard and his army of undead – a warrior queen and her horde of fierce neanderthals that stands against him – and a legendary treasure with power to open the gateway between worlds, or to destroy them all: the eye of the storm.

Review: I found this book really easy to get in to and harder to put down once l started reading it. I was hooked on this book after reading the first page. When l was reading this book l would put some essential oils in my humidifier and put the lights on my humidifier on and chill on my bed and listening to magic or spotify, or something on television or netflix. I sometimes light a candle when l was reading this book. It is good to chill reading a good book when you are not well or in pain. It did not take me long to read this book. I like that the author dedicated to all his family and friends and all the other people who helped him and showed him around different countries. I was sad to read about all the people who lost their lives in this story. I was sad to read that threya's father Chernos passed away. I was sad to read that Dr Anna fayne was hurt, I was also sad to read that all the people on the plane with Dr Anna fayne, Mark vaughn and Eric R slade all died and I was sad that Mark vaughn passed away. It was nice that Kerr helped Anna and Eric and saved them from being sold as slaves. I hope Dr Anna fayne survives being shot with arrows. I can not put in to words how great this book is I would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great it really is. This book is a great read and this book will take you away when you are reading it. It is nice that Threya's father wanted her to take over for him because he knew he was dying. Some people were happy about it and some were very upset about having a woman as a boss. I was very sad to read that Kerr's father passed away but was happy to read that Threya's father took him in and looked after him until he passed away even though they was enemy. I was sad that Dr Anna fayne passed away due to her injuries and slade was the only survivor. I am wondering what's going to happen to slade when they get to the place where they are going and what Kerr going to do and if he saves slade. Dr Anna fayne had all her blood drained out of her body and some sort of liquid put back in her body so she become undead. Threya sounds like a strong girl still going on with things after the passing of her father. I wondered what happened to her mother. I was really sad to read both Kerr's mother and father passed away at the same time. It was nice that slade tried to return something to Threya after it fell off her wagon. Kerr sounds like a strong guy after losing both his parents at the same time. I am wondering if Anna and slade see each other again or get back to their own world. I was sad to finish reading this book l would happily read this book again. I wish this book would not finish. I also wish there was a follow on from this book. I would love to read more from this author. I was sad to read that Eric slade was going to be killed and Kerr was going to lose the friend he made. I understand why he was angry about it and I understand why Kerr could not tell him. I was sad that Threya's guard was not going to protect her and that he was going to kill her. I hope slade helps Kerr save her and then she asks slade to become her guard because he was strong and he did take on her guard and toad-men who attacked them and sadly killed Dr Anna fayne. I reviewed this book on goodreads, my blog and amazon UK and US and l also took a picture of this book and shared it on my Instagram that l made just for pictures of my books it is called donnareviewsbooks. I was sad to read that all the slaves was stabbed and cut from the neck down when they was still alive and it was horrible that their hearts were ripped out and their bodies was eaten by some sort of animal it also ate their bones. I wonder what happened to their hearts and l wonder if slade helps Kerr and saves Threya and stops her being killed. It sounds like they want to kill threya because they do not want a women to be their queen and her bodyguard is suppose to protect her not kill her. I really enjoyed reading this book I could not get enough of this book and story I wish there was a follow on to this storyline I would happily read this book again. I have this book in paperback but it is also available in kindle edition. I can not put in to words how great this book is l would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great it really is. I was happy that slade saved threya life and l was sad to read that they was going to war after loads of people died. I am glad threya has slade and Kerr by her side. I think threya has fallen in love with slade but I think Kerr likes threya more than just a boss. I hope threya, Kerr and slade win the battle. This book will leave you wanting more this book is really addicting. This book has lots of pages I would tell people to give this book a go. Do not judge the book by it cover ( I love the cover). My sister has also read and reviewed this book and she loved it too. I was sad to read that loads of people was dying. It was weird that tarquin come to by the black storm like everybody else that ended up there. Everybody who arrived with tarquin died and now tarquin is half human and half cyborg he can not remove the framework as it would kill him. I hope Kerr and slade stay friends because they sound like great friends they should not let threya come between them. I have honestly really enjoyed reading this book and how tarquin drains the blood from people's bodies to make them undead when the undead went to war with threya's people they just turned in to dust or bones but l found it sad that some of the people will never make it home to their loved ones or to be buried by their loved ones. I was really sad to read that Azreth turned against threya and pushed Kerr off a cliff I hope he survives and they can stop Azreth before he does too much damage. I wonder why tarquin thought threya, Azreth, slade and Kerr was died. It was nice of tarquin to help threya and slade after Dr Anna fayne took them to the place she had been staying since she was injured by the toad-men when she was helping Kerr get the ghost stone after threya's father told him to get it before he passed away. I hope Azreth can be stopped. This book is really a great read and I was sad that tarquin died and Dr Anna fayne took over the machine / robot to help with the fight against Azreth. I was glad Kerr won the war against Azreth but l was sad he had to be sent away. I was happy slade stayed with Threya and Dr Anna fayne because he could not face leaving them.

Book Dedication: For M., my soulmate and the love of my life, to my sisters, to our families and friends, including my sisters who mean the world to me, and especially to the one I have known all my life who has been my friend and confidante. I dedicate the song by Francis Cabrel, Je T'aimais, Je T'aime, Et Je T'aimerai which means I have loved you, I love you, and I will always love you. For my special sibling who will remain nameless because of privacy reasons, she has always offered encouragement and support and been my cheering section. I do not know how I would have made it with her R, O, C, and E,. his daughter Katy, a friend who died of suicide, M's kind family and friends who have been great, who first along with M saw this book and heard me read it to them and were supportive about it. For R, my aunts, uncles, and cousins. This book is dedicated to all of you with love. Thanks to Nazareth college of rochester, NY, and all the staff and students that l knew; to rochester, NY, liverpool high school, syracuse, NY, the people at church watertown, NY, New York city and Rennes frances, and the friends l made there in 1993 – 1994. for 12 step groups everywhere such as Alanon for friends and family of alcoholics. God bless you all.

Synopsis: How I suicided not is a story about the author's life and experiences, from birth until her early thirties. It tells about how she went from mostly happy childhood and young adulthood to depression, anxiety, and poverty, which did not help – her mother nearly died when the author was nine, and the 1979 swine shot was the culprit. Mary Weldon put herself through college, got a scholarship, studied in france, and developed depression and a eating disorder. Ultimately, self help books and the local clinic as well as a few hospital stays helped her to choose life. Some relationships faltered and did not succeed, but she kept her chin up and kept her faith in god.

Review: I found this book really easy to get in to and hard to put down once l started reading. I was hooked on this book after reading the first page I was sad to read that mary's mother nearly died after having the swine flu shot when mary was nine years old I am glad she survived. I was sad that Mary's mother and father split up when Mary and her sister was younger. The family that mary stay with when she was in france sounds like a great second family I was sad to finish reading this book. I was sad to read that mary lost family members on both her mother's side and her father's side. It did not take me long to finish reading this book. I can not put in to words how great this book really is l would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great this book really is. I like that Mary and her sister finished school and went to college. I love that Mary went travelling I was sad to read that a lady that Mary was staying with passed away it was nice of mary to go to her funeral. It was very sad to read that one of Mary' housemates mother passed away due to cancer. Mary was there for her housemate and went to her funeral. I would love to read more about Mary, her family and friends and her life. I was sad to read that Mary's mother passed away at the age of 70. Mary's father always sent his two beloved daughters money to help with stuff for school, college, clothes or food. I was sad to read that Mary tried to commit suicide twice I am glad she is still alive. I am in love with this book. I was sad Mary's now ex – boyfriend was stalking her. I was happy that Mary's mother got married again and l was happy Mary's sister finished college. I am happy that Mary found someone to look after her and they are engaged to each other. I hope Mary and her fiancee have children once they are married. This book is truly amazing I wish to read more from Mary Weldon. I was sad to read what happened to poet when he was younger. I was happy that Mary got a job but her ex – boyfriend and his girlfriend was there in the place where Mary was working. I am glad Mary hid so he could not see her. It was nice to read that Mary wrote that if poet's daughters wanted to know anything about their father or need help to contact her publishers and Mary would try to help them the best she could. I was sad to read that poet's daughter's mother passed away and his daughters where left with somebody that was not their father I think his daughters should have been given to their father. Poet sounds like a great father. He also sounds like he writes some great poetry. I wish I could read some of his poems. I really enjoyed reading this book. When l was reading this book I would put some essential oils in my humidifier and put the lights on and chill on my bed listening to magic or something on TV or netflix.

God bless you and thanks for reading the books.

I wish l could rate this book more than five stars because it is worth more than the five stars l rated it.

Book Review: Lee Olds: The composer

The Composer

Author:   Lee Olds


Title:  The Composer

Genre:  Contemporary fiction, fiction, nonfiction,

Synopsis:  Contemporarily set between San Francisco and Paris in diary-like narration a musically gifted young girl makes her way through the classical tradition to achieve startling success in both performance and competition at an early age. Struggling to grow up among the paradoxes presented by her family and acquaintances she gropes to understand the metaphysical parallels that occur randomly between them and her music. In a tragic but accomplished endeavor fate seems to take her much like it appears to have made her what she has become. Similar to the Magister in "Magister Ludi' or Juan in 'Don Juan' she discovers life's meanings along the way as far as they allow, it would seem too awkward to say truths, while our blurred philosophy of the sixties becomes virtually transparent.

Review:  l highly recommended it to anyone and even if you are not in to this type of book it's good to read outside your favourite genre and try something new and improved your reading to different types of books and genre and authors. I rated this book 5 star on amazon and goodreads. I was sent this book for review and l really enjoyed reading it and l found it hard to put down once l started reading it and l found the storyline a good one and it was a great read and l am glad l have it on my shelf and in my library.

Book Review: T.Ellery hodges: The Never Hero

The Never Hero 

Author:  T.ellery Hodges

Title:  The Never Hero

Genre:  Science fiction and fantasy, fantasy, superheroes, literature and fiction, action and adventure, science fiction,


Synopsis: 
At the gates between worlds...
In a war outside of time...
He fights for us.
Reclusive college student Jonathan Tibbs wakes in a pool of blood, not a scratch on him. His life is about to undergo a massive shift. A violent and merciless otherworldly enemy unleashes slaughter in the streets, calling out in a language only he understands.
And it is seeking its challenger.
In order to defeat the threat, Jonathan must become a temporal weapon, while remaining completely anonymous. Unfortunately, harnessing off-world powers has its own special challenges...The Never Hero is the first installment in The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs -- a mind-bending, genre crossing, action-adventure trilogy.
"I have a feeling I will be mulling over the philosophical ideas presented in this book for a very long time. Interesting, thought "The Never Hero is a book I wish I hadn't read -- so I could read it for the first time. Hodges has crafted a superb story about a hero who isn't. But he is. Even though he isn't. He has created a literary landscape equal to the task; a story that comes upon you slowly, then grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. I can highly recommend both this title and author. If you enjoy scifi, this will thrill you. If you enjoy being surprised, this will catch you completely off guard. I was upset it was over. I want more!"
"Say Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer got together with Christopher Nolan's Inception and made a baby. Then, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable got together with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and made a baby. Then those two babies grew up, eloped and had a love child, who they put up for adoption, and was raised by the surrogate parents of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky and the Wachowski Brother's Matrix, but had a crazy Uncle they all called The Karate Kid... Then you might get something as awesome as The Never Hero."
"I think it's only a matter of time before 'The Never Hero' becomes a Sci-Fi bestseller and a blockbusting movie. The story is more than gripping, it's throat clutching."


 Review:  l really enjoyed reading this book and it was hard to put down once l started reading it and l was sent this book for review and it comes in 2 different format l read it on iBook and it makes a enjoyable book and I highly recommend this book to anybody and l rated this book on amazon and goodreads.
