The Hurt Inside by Taylor Sherran Young
When I first saw the cover , I was captivated by the hurt on the woman ' s face . I could tell right away that this was going to be a very emotional story . The title and cover both went together perfectly .
From the first page of the book , the introduction of the characters pulled you further into the story . As more and more characters were introduced , the story got better , more intriguing , more grasping . The word play in this book was out of this world . Combined with the excellent editing , this was a story that I honestly enjoyed . Rarely do you find books that are edited and formatted correctly throughout the whole story .
The plot of the story was one that will leave your mind racing . Imagine having a wonderful life with a wonderful husband and great children . You have everything that you could want in life but one day your deepest secret comes to surface . That ' s what Libra has to deal with when she is unexpectedly arrested . From that point on the story goes back in time to her childhood . As the story drifted from present day to the past , the story took over as Libra told of the nightmare she lived . This book had my emotions all over the place as I read about the hell that she went through as a child .
Love Changes by Eartha Watt Hicks
Wow !!! This book really blew me away . Starting with the cover , I was iffy about reading this book . It was the little things about the cover ( i . e . three versions of the same woman , etc .) that had me wondering what was the connection to the story . The cover made it seem like ' Life Changes ' was a more appropriate title but when I jumped into the story , I realized how perfect the cover was for the book .
In the story , the main character went through many ups and downs just as we all do in life . The plot kept me on edge wondering what Mia was going to do next and who she was going to end up with . Many women can relate to dealing with a man that was presumed to be the " one ", only to end up realizing he wasn ' t any better than the rest . Initially , Mia was weak . She allowed her love for a man to negatively change her and what she wanted for herself . Even after a decade , all she wanted was a marriage . Doing this caused her be caught with egg on her face . This story will hit home for many women who often times give in to be accepted in love . I loved how Mia grew throughout the story , which made me anticipate turning the pages . The book was perfectly edited with no issues found at all .
Overall , I could actually put myself in the shoes of the main character , which is always a plus . I experienced so many emotions throughout reading this book . There were so many life lessons found within pages of this book . This book was relatable in so many ways and I found myself reflecting several times on events that
Fallen II ( Capabale Volme II ) by T . S . Brumsey
Book II was interesting because as a teen , you ' re more susceptible to fall for things you know to be a facade because it ' s called " growing up ". For this book cover , I liked the eye ' s because they seem mysterious as to what they ' ve seen . Yet the college in the backdrop paints the imagery that this book is situated on a college campus . In previous books in the series , many things that have transpired between this group of friends as they began college . It picked up when Fallen I ended and I appreciated that .
The plot was believable because of the stressors that all college students and teenagers face in life daily . I was able to connect with all the characters because each one displayed a different reason for their purpose to this book . In terms of editing , it was great . No mistakes seen . This book is a page anticipator ! The flow of the storyline kept me aware of who , what , where , when , and why . But all readers must to start from the beginning of series to keep up .
The author outdid herself for this book . I love how this series truly shows how the stressors in life can sometimes overwhelm your thought process and alter your decisions . We are all human , and there are times when we make bad decisions and fall short to lust , temptation , Jealousy , and anger . However , believe it or not there are repercussions to those bad choices . I can ' t wait to read Fallen III and see just what develops within this group ! If you love a good tale of love , emotion , trust , betrayal , lies , and lust then you ’ re going to love this story .
