Book Review
of Secrets
Choices blurb:
Hearts break. Loved ones are
lost. Life keeps moving.Olivia Martin’s afterlife was more dangerous and confusing than her life ever was. She thought she was ready to come back, to forget about Holden and to let go of the rage consuming her. Fulfilling her destiny as a guardian was all that mattered—the past could stay hidden in the crevices of her mind. However, when guardians are murdered and the evidence points towards jinn, she has to do something. To save anyone’s future, Olivia will have to confront the one person from her past she is terrified to see.
Holden waited for Olivia with the hope he would see her one more time. But when she didn’t return, he found salvation in darkness. The black and twisted road made it easier to forget what he lost than to live with the memory of what he had. An unexpected promotion shoves him into a world of intoxicating power and influence. Holden will have to choose between his new life and the woman he thought was gone forever.
From the ashes of Secrets, Choices are born that will change everything.
This book will be available for review at the end of March.
Secrets Blurb:
While Olivia Martin observed life
through her camera, the abyss gazed back at her. She discovers mysterious men
follow her around, people close to her are dying, and her dreams are no longer
her own as she falls head over heels for a perfect stranger.
A chance encounter
leads to an obsession that could destroy everything she has ever known or
loved. Olivia is about to find out there is a lot she doesn't know and
sometimes what you don't know can kill you.
Excerpts From Choices :
Philip Pemberton come on down, you’re the next
contestant on Sorry I Destroyed Your Life.
Damn it all to hell, I felt bad for
old Phil. He made his deal with the demon and was well on his way to avenging his
family and becoming cursed to this cruel and Godforsaken existence. And because
of yours truly. What did she ever see in
me?
I walked away from the warehouse
where I’d taken Phil to meet his destiny. All hope was gone for him now. I
glanced at my watch, not even 11:00 pm—the night was just getting started. What
else could I do this fine evening? Anything that could possibly squash this
surge of humanity, I was up for trying.
It hit me like a tidal wave. One
moment I was walking down the street, planning on having a little fun and the
next moment I was nearly knocked over by a crushing light that washed over my
mind and blinded me to anything in front of me. I staggered, fought to gain
some sort of control, then I heard her voice. She said my name—I tried to
reply, but she was gone as quickly as she came. It was like I’d been struck by
lightning. Her voice rang in my ears.
I’d warred to forget the sound and
timber of her voice. I’d battled to obliterate the memories of the smell of her
skin and the taste of her lips. This one word from her and all that I tried to
forget flooded back.
Could Olivia be alive? Was it a
fluke, a coincidence? Did I finally reach her on the other side? Or had I lost
all grip with reality? Instead of going out, I caught a cab home. I walked into
my empty apartment and stripped the sheets from my bed before collapsing onto
it. I searched my mind for any change, any clue that she was really there, and
I wasn’t just losing my sanity.
Please don’t let this be a
hallucination, I
begged the universe.
Author Bio:
Liz Schulte:
Many authors claim to have known their calling from a young age.
Liz Schulte, however, didn't always want to be an author. In fact, she had no
clue. Liz wanted to be a veterinarian, then she wanted to be a lawyer, then she
wanted to be a criminal profiler. In a valiant effort to keep from becoming
Walter Mitty, Liz put pen to paper and began writing her first novel. It was at
that moment she realized this is what she was meant to do. As a scribe she
could be all of those things and so much more.
When Liz isn’t writing or on social
networks she is inflicting movie quotes and trivia on people, reading,
traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. Liz is a Midwest girl
through and through, though she would be perfectly happy never having to shovel
her driveway again. She has a love for all things spooky, supernatural, and
snarky. Her favorite authors range from Edgar Allen Poe to Joseph Heller to
Jane Austen to Jim Butcher and everything in between.

Book Review:
So a human, a jinni, a guardian
angel, and a demon walk into a bar…. Actually that would be the beginning of a
bad joke. But all those characters are
in this book. The basic premis of this
story is what would happen if a Jinni (person who made a deal for their soul
with a demon) who was cursed to do the bidding of hell for eternity fell in
love with a human born to be a powerful
guardian angel when they died.
In the book Secrets, Olivia
falls in love with tall, dark, and brooding Holden, who turns out to be a kind
of demi-demon. Because of her destiny to
choose or not choose to be a guardian, her ex-boyfriend is killed for planning
to do her harm and then her best friend is killed. All these killings are to keep her from
becoming a guardian, but Olivia refuses to choose.
This book is really intense at
times. It’s sad to see Olivia torn
between love and her “destiny”. Even
after death she is incapable of choosing.
I can’t wait to read Choices to find out what happens next.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
A good read.
