Featured Book: Dead Cat, Run by Annabelle Lewis

Posted on September 4, 2022 by Sahara Foley

You’re where you’re meant to be. Run, if you can.

High school senior Jenny Gallagher’s psychic abilities have made life in her small New England town rocky. Her premonitions and déjà vu have given her a reputation, one she’s not happy with. Tragedy is about to strike, however, and oddly, this time, she doesn’t see it coming. Is her gift betraying her?

Not far from Jenny, Wellesley Professor Maximus Dyer also has a gift—a painful and useless one. His ability to see the past has brought him insight into history, but otherwise, he’s never known what to make of it. The psychic shocks he receives through his unprotected hands have made any genuine human relationships beyond his grasp. Then someone who doesn’t trigger a vision enters his life—a dog?

Sidrah Keeling runs determinedly optimistic throughout her life, trying hard not to ask the big questions about why. Her foresight, her ability to see glimpses of the future in her dreams, often drives her to follow a path she doesn’t understand. Alert and listening, with the guardrails of security she’s erected in place, she’s forced again to follow her dreams. This time to a man. Who is he?

Lurking deep in his sensory deprivation tank, Turner Black sees it all. Born out of the great chaos of time, he once again feels the forces of good gathering to move against him. Not in this life. This time, his darkness will reign supreme. The hunt for his antithesis will begin again now. He can’t wait to feel his opponent in destiny bleed.

A fast-paced contemporary mystery thriller with a supernatural hierarchy, Dead Cat, Run will keep you up all night, glued to your seat.

Sahara’s Book Review of Eternity’s Mirror (Eternal Chronicles Book 2) by Zachary Hagen

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Sahara Foley

DESCRIPTION:

Flip the coin and find a whole new world on the other side.

The Circle is uniting the countries of Lux Terra. Elior, Nyx, and Opal are finding that some things have changed as the result of their adventures with Michael. Yrahkaz has been tasked with squashing the growing obsession with Michael.

When an important clue to finding Eliam and fixing Nyx’s and Opal’s problems is given to them, they recruit the help of a disgraced magi-technician to get to him, but their initial success is more then they bargained for.

The other side of the Mirror of Eternity is filled with wonders and dangers they never imagined. Will they still be able to prevail against an evil that is bent on devouring them whole, or will they fall prey to its cunning pursuit?

Eternity’s Mirror is the thrilling continuation of The Eternal Chronicles picking up where Eternity’s Well left off.

MY REVIEW:

I wanted to read this series after I did a #ReadOutLoudChapter for book two and it sounded intriguing.  I started with Eternity’s Well but it didn’t upload to my kindle correctly and was unreadable.  I contacted Amazon, but we all know how THEY work.  Crickets.  So I just jumped into book two hoping I’d figure it out as I went along. 

Zachary has created two different realities on the flip side of a coin.  The non-magical side reminded me of Steampunk.  The other reality was very epic and fantastical and his descriptions of that world were lovely.  Something that readers of The Chronicles of Narnia would enjoy. 

I’m not sure who the main POV is supposed to be, as there is head-hopping between all the different characters, but I think it’s Elior.  Though I could relate to his plight, I felt for Opal the most.  She had a kingdom to take back and she was the strongest of them in her faith of accomplishing that goal.  I also related to Yrahkaz.  Maybe he did choose the wrong path but is it too late for him to redeem himself and get his sons back?  I hope not.

What I didn’t like was the lack of editing.  Every time I’d get settled into the tale, up popped either a wrong word like stocked for stalked, or read for red,  which pulled me right out of the story.  There were even a few times when the wrong name was used.  Sigh.  Each time that happened, I’d roll my eyes and try to melt back into the tale. 

Readers who love mythical creatures, epic quests, fellowships, and good against bad, will enjoy this story.  I give it 3.5 stars rounded to 4.

#SaharasMusings – Returning eBooks

Posted on August 24, 2022 by Sahara Foley

17 Little Things You're Doing That Annoy The Hell Out Of Hotel Workers

I have never been a person to return items for a refund.  I think it’s because as a kid, my mom used to drag us down to the Philips Store and we’d wait in line which sometimes seemed like hours.  With 4 kids and being lower middle class, I understand why she did.  But it built a hatred in me for that practice.  Even today, if I order something online and it doesn’t fit or ended up being not what I expected, I never return it.  Some of that reason is it’s such a hassle when you’re a non-driver.

Nothing New GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

But lately, and it’s not a new trend, just new on Tik Tok, readers are encouraging each other to ask for refunds on ebooks they’ve bought and read. 

What In The Hell GIFs | Tenor

Out of the hundreds of hardbacks, paperbacks, or eBooks I’ve bought, I would never ask for a refund. Even ones I couldn’t finish.  The problem is Amazon has made it too easy to just push a button, and Vola, refund initiated. 

Push Button GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

Asking for a refund on an eBook, especially from indie authors, is like buying cookies at your kid’s school bake sale and then asking for a refund after you’ve eaten them all.  Do you like working for nothing?  ‘Cuz that’s exactly what you expect from authors.  Even if the book hasn’t seen a proper editor, you don’t know how much time and money was spent just to get it published.  And then you read it and demand a refund? 

Nope, not kosher.

You know there are TONS, I mean THOUSANDS of free ebooks out there.  And not all on Amazon.  Yes, I know most of them are a first in series.  So what?  If you like the story and characters enough to want to read the next one, then save your money and buy it.  Add it to your collection. 

And then there are author’s newsletters, like MINE or NORNS where we offer you a FREE eBook just for joining.  Yeah, I know, you don’t want all those stupid emails.  Well, some of the newsletters, like ours, have features and one of them are links to Free eBooks.  You don’t even have to do the searching yourself. 

Boom GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

Boom, right there in your inbox and only twice a month. 

And then there are places like AuthorsXP, NetGalley, or Readers’ Favorite that offer you free books to read.  The catch is, you have to read and review the books you’ve been given.  Oh No!  That’s too much work!  

Nothing Is Free GIFs | Tenor

Honey, ain’t nothin in life is FREE.  If you think that, you done gone to the wrong school.  🤣😂 Until next time.
