AMAZING

I loved it so much WARNING very very spicy. Loved the plot twist at the end but the epilogue was kind of a bummer (in my opinion)

10/10!!

I absolutely adore this book and I think it’s probs one of my favs of the series other than the brothers Hawthorne which I just love! Jennifer Lynn Barnes is my fav author and I just love her writing! What really makes me love her writing so much is her characters, I get so attached to them and their stories I almost forget that they’re fictional. This is just an absolute masterpiece and an amazing edition to the inheritance games trilogy!

Die storie van Rebekkah-Nou en Rebekkah-Toe

Ek ken nie iemand wat as kind mislei en misbruik is nie. Ek ken nie iemand wat as elfjarige haar pa aan kanker afgestaan het nie. Ek ken nie iemand wat kompulsief opgaar tot op ’n punt wat dit sertifiseerbaar is as ’n siektetoestand nie. Ek ken nie iemand wat op onskuldige kinders jag maak nie. Tog is hierdie feitestelle so realisties aangebied en vervleg in ’n fiktiewe roman, dat dit ontredder en voel soos waarheid. Dit spreek relevante kwessies aan, noem die vergrype by die naam en in ontstellende detail.
Onder water is Rebekkah se verhaal, een wat sy as eerstepersoon verteller aan die leser oordra, “Toe” synde die gebeure wat begin in 2001. Die “Nou” tydsgleuf word aangebied in die derde persoon en skop af vlak voor Kersfees in 2022. Hierdie twee perspektiewe wissel deurgaans af en skets die ontkenning wat Rebekkah se lewe kenmerk en haar kanse op geluk kaap.
’n Koerantberig dwing gebeure uit haar grootwordjare, dinge wat sy onderdruk het, na vore en ontspoor haar grootliks. Ook die gebrekkige verhouding met haar ma word op die keper gedruk wanneer sy weereens haar ma se huis moet opruim. Die skrywer kon dalk iets meer van haar ma se herstel bygewerk het, maar dit is tog ’n positiewe aspek in ’n storielyn wat tot naby die einde, eerder negatief en neerdrukkend was. Dit was juis vanweë die moeilike temas wat dit hanteer, maar tog boeiend en meesleurend.
Onder water is die tweede roman van Henda Olivier, die eerste synde Die goeie suster. Dit boek word uitgegee deur Human & Rousseau, ’n druknaam van NB Uitgewers.

Grief has no timeline

I took a short breather after completing A thousand boy kisses by author, Tillie Cole, simply because the story tore my heart out. Reading the prologue to A Thousand broken pieces, emotion got the better of me right away, as the story picks up at the devastating point where Poppy loses her battle with cancer.
Four years after Poppy’s passing, Savannah, the sensitive and reserved one of the three Litchfield sisters, finds herself handicapped by grief, depression and anxiety. Her parent and younger sister, Ida, persuades her to embark on a therapy journey, visiting five countries of diverse cultures. The group is made up of six teenagers suffering from intense grief, following the loss of loved ones to a variety of traumatic events.
As the teenagers comes to terms with grief, the readers get the opportunity to grasp some of the depth of loss, get to understand just a little better – especially if you have only experienced “normal” loss, in sync with the process of ageing and eventual illness. “A loved one’s death wasn’t a onetime thing that you had to endure. It was an endless cycle.” (p. 58) “Grief was walking through a minefield with no protection or guide.” (p. 60) “If someone judges you for how long it’s taking you to move past a loved one’s death, be happy for them, because it means they’ve never experienced it.” (p.116)
I thought that I had read the ultimate love story in A Thousand boy kisses, but the bittersweet story of Savannah and Cael, the angry, broken boy who had lost his brother, was even more moving, be that possible.
The symbolism used is so touching, like the principle of wabi-sabi which teaches to embrace life’s imperfections, and broken pieces mended with kintsugi to be more beautiful than before. The author follows the same pattern, this time the story being told for the viewpoint of both Cael and Savannah, and the headings of the chapters adding to and even summarizing the story line.
If you have the guts to read a story that is bound to have you in tears, I can totally recommend A thousand broken pieces, and if possible, start with A thousand boys kisses. You can however, read the second one as a stand alone and pick up the main trend of the first story through flashbacks.
The book is published by Penguin Random House UK, and made available in South Africa by Penguin Books SA.

WOW! Amazing Action, Suspense, Drama, and Romance!

This series is set in Alaska and other beautiful places, and WOW, there was so much action that I thought, “My goodness, what else could go on with these characters?” Well, this is Susan May Warren’s book, and I have to remember what I’ve said MANY times . . .

“This author keeps us on the seat of our chairs, gripping the armrest, trying to breathe. In this story, there is action, romance, drama, running for their lives, kidnapping attempts, shootings, pain, Oh, the pains! I’m so glad I’m not one of her characters because of everything she puts them through. WOW! The action is non-stop and jaw-dropping.”
So, I shouldn’t have been surprised that this author would keep that action-packed, high-drama intensity throughout the series to the very end.
In this last book, we are reintroduced to so many of the author's past characters. It was so much fun. At one point, I actually looked back at some of the other series and found characters and the timeline of different events. It’s like reading about family members and seeing what they’re doing now.
Susan May Warren is an author I will always pick up one of her books to read because I know what to expect. Her books are full of amazing adventures, jaw-dropping action, suspense, sweet moments of romance, and tender weavings of God’s love and truths. She is a very skilled writer and an amazing individual.
I HIGHLY recommend that you take an adventure by reading this series and fly off into the sunset of the Alaskan sky!
