Publication Date: August 22nd, 2024

Genre: Adult Comedy / Contemporary Romance / Sports

Book Description:

What do an entitled billionaire and small-town ice-skating coach have in common?

Ellie

My life is not turning out like I thought it would.

My mom’s arthritis has gotten so bad that I had to move in with her. I’m making ends meet by giving ice skating lessons at the arena in Maple Falls. I’d be in serious trouble had the Harts not given me that job.

Which makes it impossible to say no when they ask me to let Troy’s obnoxious billionaire brother stay in the cabin on my mom’s property during the charity hockey event they’re running.

Zach

First the tabloids call me out for being a cheapskate and then Yolanda Simms takes to national television to tell everyone what a vicious heartbreaker I am?

Yeah, my life has been better.

My brother thinks I can fix my bad press by coming to Maple Falls and donating big to his new charity endeavor. Too bad he didn’t mention the woman who owns the cottage I’ll be staying at hates me with a passion.

He also didn’t mention she’s everything I’ve ever looked for in a woman…

BOOK REVIEW: Sky High by Christy Breedlove

Sky High

Author: Christy Breedlove
Publication Date: 30 July 2024
Genre: YA Dystopian

Book Description:

In a post apocalypse world, a group of teenage orphans are determined to escape the tortures of a mile-high city government—a literal platform-city in the sky. They seek the refuge of a utopian society they believe is rumored to exist.

However, all is not well when they reach terra firma. They escape a communist dictatorship only to land in a world of rogue tribes and hybrid monsters.

Buy Links:

Amazon US | UK

SUMMARY

The story is set over 800 years into the future, where humanity’s catastrophic past has led to a world divided between those who live in towering cities above the clouds and those who remain on the devastated earth below. The society within these sky-high cities is rigid, with strict rules, assigned roles and harsh penalties for those who step out of line. Four teenagers—Toby, Maria, Justice and Remy—decide to defy the oppressive system of Cloud’s Rest, their airborne city, by escaping to the ground, a place they’ve only heard about in whispers and rumours. Their journey is fraught with danger as they are relentlessly pursued by the city’s security forces, led by the determined Lieutenant Branson Newman. On the ground, the teens encounter strange creatures, unpredictable tribes and a world vastly different from the one they fled, challenging their perceptions and testing their resolve.

MY THOUGHTS

Sky High presents an intriguing concept of a dystopian future where humanity has split between the skies and the earth. The setting, with its towering city and the desolate ground below, immediately draws readers into a world where survival is dictated by strict societal rules. However, while the escape from Cloud’s Rest is the catalyst for the plot, the majority of the story centres around the teens' struggles and encounters after their descent from the sky-high city.

The plot is engaging, with a well-paced journey that introduces various challenges and adversaries as the teens navigate this unfamiliar terrain. The contrast between the regimented life in Cloud’s Rest and the wild, unpredictable nature of the ground is compelling, though it could have benefited from deeper exploration of both worlds. The tribes and creatures the group encounters are intriguing, but there’s a sense that much more could be uncovered in future installments or with more detailed storytelling.

When it comes to character development, the teens are defined more by their roles and physical descriptions than by distinct personalities or growth throughout the narrative. Toby, as the de facto leader, shows some initiative, but the rest of the group—especially Maria and Justice—could have been fleshed out more fully to create a stronger emotional connection with the reader. Branson, on the other hand, stands out as a character with more depth, particularly as his role evolves towards the end of the story.

Dialogue within the book reflects the formal upbringing of the teens in their rigid society, but at times it felt stilted and could have used more variety to better differentiate the characters. The writing is accessible, with minimal graphic content, making it a suitable read for the YA audience. The action scenes are well-executed, and the inventive use of the teens’ makeshift weapons adds a layer of excitement to their encounters.

Overall, while Sky High delivers a solid dystopian adventure with an interesting premise, it leaves some areas underdeveloped. The world Breedlove has created is rich with potential, but I found myself wanting more—more exploration of the sky-high cities, more insight into the various tribes and more depth in the characters’ personal journeys. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable read that set the stage for what could be a much larger and more complex story in future books.

Book Blitz & Giveaway - Mr. Absolutely Not! by Alina Jacobs

Mr. Absolutely Not!

(The Seattle Svenssons, #1)

Author: Alina Jacobs

Publication Date: August 6th, 2024

Genre: Adult Comedy / Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

Armed with comfy pants, overpriced coffee, and a highly anxious emotional-support corgi, I prepare to face him.

Corporate boss.

Villain.

I step into his office. His perfect mouth twists into a sneer.

There is no heart of gold beneath that suit, just a big black pit. He’s a shark in the frothy waters of high-stakes finance.

He might be the quintessential asshole CEO, causing all in his path to quake in fear, but he’s never had to face down a basic bitch in her thirties.

I am exactly like the other girls—I adore Starbucks, greige home decor, and making snarky jokes with my bestie. I’ve even inherited a stalker from an ill-advised singles party.

Yeah, the stalker is… a problem, one I’m hoping will just go away if I ignore it.

I can’t ignore him, though.

He’s all broad shoulders and snide comments, picking apart everything about me as he circles me, going for the kill.

He would never fire me, though. There’s no fun in that. He wants me to quit, to have a mental breakdown.

Well, he can get in line behind my crazy gold-digging sister, my guilt-tripping mother, and the aforementioned stalker.

He pins me with his gaze.

I brace myself, waiting for the verbal blow to come…

Instead, he says, “I need a date tonight, and unfortunately, it has to be you.”

This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, complete with smokin’ hot-but-morally gray heroes, a smidge of suspense, and of course the perfect happily ever after!

REVIEW

SUMMARY

The Groundworld Heroes by Adrian So is an engaging adventure set in the imaginative underground realm of Soiland. The story follows Benjamin Mole, a Junior Digger who has experienced significant personal loss. His mother died during childbirth, and his father was killed by humans, leaving Benjamin to navigate life as a shy and lonely mole, struggling with his job and social interactions.

Soiland, a vibrant subterranean world inhabited by diverse animal species, faces an existential threat from vengeful humans who previously had their crops harvested by the Groundworld vegetable collectors. As the human invasion begins to cause catastrophic damage to Soiland, President Hare orders an evacuation to save the inhabitants. Benjamin, who was initially left behind, witnesses his friend Connor Meerkat being kidnapped by the invaders. Determined and courageous, Benjamin embarks on a daring mission to rescue Connor and defend his homeland. The narrative is rich with clever names and titling that reflect the characteristics and lifestyles of the animal characters, adding a layer of charm to the storytelling.

MY THOUGHTS

This book is a delightful and heartwarming read, perfectly suited for fans of middle-grade adventure stories, reminiscent of the works of Kate DiCamillo and Roald Dahl. Adrian So has crafted a world that feels both fantastical and relatable, with Soiland serving as a compelling backdrop for the tale of bravery and friendship.

Benjamin Mole is a well-developed protagonist whose journey from a timid and isolated mole to a brave hero is both inspiring and endearing. His personal struggles and growth make him a character that young readers can easily connect with. The supporting cast, including President Hare and the loyal Connor Meerkat, add depth and diversity to the story, making the underground world of Soiland come alive.

The book's clever use of names and titles to reflect the species and characteristics of the animal inhabitants is a charming touch that adds to the overall appeal. The themes of courage, unity and the fight against extinction are handled with sensitivity and imagination, making the story both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Overall, The Groundworld Heroes is a beautifully written adventure that captures the essence of bravery and the importance of standing up for one's community. It's a perfect read for children and anyone who enjoys a heartwarming adventure with memorable characters and a richly imagined world. This book fits comfortably into the middle-grade fantasy adventure genre and is a testament to Adrian So's storytelling prowess.

VERDICT

Rating: 5 Stars

Author Interview

1. Tell a little about yourself. What you do when youíre not writing? What are your aspirations for the future?

My name is Adrian So, and I'm from Winnipeg, a mid-sized, freezing city smack dab in the middle of the Canadian prairies. When I'm not writing, you will probably find me either playing soccer (or football, not to offend the British audience), grinding on a video game, or goofing around with my friends. As for aspirations for my future, I actually don't want to be a full-time author because a) it doesn't look like I can sustain myself just by being an author and b) I'm not that kind of guy who can be locked up in a room, typing on a laptop for hours on end. So I think I want to be a lawyer instead when I'm older.

2. Who are your favourite authors of all time?

There are many authors that I'm a fan of, but there are only a handful that I consider as my favourites. They are Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Alan Gratz, Andy Stanton, Gordon Korman, Kenneth Oppel, and Eric Walters. 

3. When and why did you start writing?

I developed an interest in stories a long time ago, when my brother used to make them up and tell me about them. I would do the same, and we'd go back and forth, and it became a habit that we followed for years. I believe that was what spurred my love for storytelling. But I haven't really gotten into writing until 5th/6th grade. That was when the pandemic hit and schools were shut down, sending all of us back home. I grew bored of online learning and had nothing to do, so every day I would write a short story on a piece of loose leaf, until I got an entire folder full of loose leaves. 

4. Give us some backstory behind The Groundworld Heroes. Where and when did you write it?

In 7th grade was when I wrote my first complete book, THE GROUNDWORLD HEROES, which I spent 3 months writing, and I did that by committing to write 200 words every day (which is a very low word count to a lot of writers). I got the idea for it when I was doing some yard work with my dad and my brother. I wondered, How many animals live under our patches of lawn and what if I wrote a book about underground animals? So I just took the ball and ran with it and cranked out a couple chapters. 

5. What was your favourite part of writing The Groundworld Heroes?

My favourite part of writing THE GROUNDWORLD HEROES must be writing about the villains. I find writing them more enjoyable than writing my protagonists. This is because I have the freedom to make them as evil, as hideous, as clumsy as I want. There is no limit when it comes to writing them and it feels oddly satisfying.

6. Can you see yourself in any of your characters?

I do see myself in my characters and there are a few character traits that we have in common. For example, I have felt uncertainty, like Benjamin Mole, I have a bit of insanity, like the villains, and I sometimes eat carrots, like Mr. Hare. But I don't base my characters off of myself, at least not intentionally. But subconsciously, I might have incorporated pieces of myself when I'm crafting these characters.

7. If you could have any superpower what would you choose and why?

If I could choose a superpower, I would choose to be able to teleport. I'm basically invincible if I have that ability, I can go anywhere at any time I want, without ever having to pay a penny or having to sit in a plane or a car. 

8. Which fictional character would you like to take to dinner and why?

If I could meet any fictional character, if you're including TV shows/Movies, I'd love to have dinner with Stewie Griffin from Family Guy because he seems funny and dangerous and intelligent.

9. Do you write as you go or do you have the book planned before you start the first draft?

I write as I go. I can't write with a plan because it looks like I can never follow it, and I don't feel motivated enough to write knowing that I'm confined to my own plans. So many of my greatest scenes wouldn't ever be written if I'm a plotter, so I'm sure I'm not plotter material, and will most likely remain a pantser for the rest of my author career.

10. What advice do you have for beginning writers?

My advice for beginning writers is to write, no matter how bad your manuscript is. My first manuscript is absolute crap, and it took me upwards of eighty revisions to get it into the final draft. Also, don't worry about how much time it takes for you to get it into the final draft, it took me about two years to get to that stage, and some authors take even longer as well.

Book Blitz & Giveaway - The Echo on the Water by JA Huss

The Echo on the Water

Author: JA Huss

Publication Date: July 25th, 2024

Genre: Adult Romance / Suspense

Book Description:

Rosie Harlow is desperately seeking… well, she’s not sure. A romance would be nice but so would a dinner conversation with her pre-teen son. Too bad her boy is way too busy growing up to pay his mama any attention. Rosie never meant to swear off men and she’s not frigid—you don’t become a single mom at fifteen by being frigid—but this dry spell of hers has gotten out of hand and something must be done.

Enter Amon Parrish. Back in high school Amon was voted most likely to get caught with his pants down. He was a trouble maker. The quintessential bad boy. But twelve years away from home, traveling the world and working with Collin Creed doing super-secret (and somewhat illegal) things, changed all that. These days Amon Parrish is a brand-new, stand-up man.

And, to Rosie’s surprise, a romantic man as well. Because he has decided to court her. And this is not just any ordinary courting, either. It’s… well, a page ripped right out of a bodice ripper.

But everyone in Disciple, West Virginia has a secret in their past.

Even the cheerful, perpetually optimistic, and seemingly innocent, Rosie Harlow.

The Echo on the Water is a swooning plate of small-town fiction served up with a side of spice. It honors the themes of friends to lovers, found family, and is filled with bigger-than-life, morally-grey characters against a backdrop of the weird and wonderful.
