I have read many blogs, and have often seen the book reviews that other have written about stories they have read. And I can honestly say that I have never been compelled to write one, until now.
I am a really hard reader to capture. When I begin a book, it has to draw me in from the beginning lines. I have started many books, and get bored, or just can’t find the motivation to continue reading. So when I find something I like, it has to be able to not only capture my interest, but keep it throughout the story.
I found this in the novel PINELIGHT, by Jillian Peery.
I downloaded the sample first from Amazon, and was hooked. After I downloaded the complete book, I actually sat down, and read it from beginning to end. (I read very fast) This book sucked me in. The characters come to life, and jump off of the pages, leaving you (the reader…..) wanting more, to find out what happens to Clara, and her Aunt Alice, and Norma, and Finn, and Edmund..…… and the descriptions of the places offered in this book are incredible, I think I want to go to Ireland now……..I could go on and on, but I am afraid if I do I will offer spoilers to the story, which I don’t like to do. I think it is better for you to read, and grasp the story for yourself, so you are able to visualize what this very gifted story teller is able to create for your mind.
The imagery that is created in this book is what dreams are made of. If you try the sample, you will be hooked on the story and will be downloading it, I promise!
This story is a great twist on what a paranormal romance should be (in my humble opinion) You have a strong heroin who doesn’t realize how strong she is. Clara is repeatedly facing unique situations that make her question her past, and her sanity at times. She faces unknown dangers realistically which makes this story believable and enjoyable.
I am afraid if I continue, I am going to give the book away and I really don’t want to do that. I think it is best for you to experience this story yourself, and it’s only .99 at Amazon, and it is well worth your time. You will be happy with this story, and I am really excited to read more from Jillian Peery.
I love it when a book captures your imagination like that! I must say I've read a lot lately that have had the same effect on me. All of which are self-published titles that I've read on my trusty kindle.
ReplyDeletePinelight sounds like it's my kinda thing too... so I'm going to go add it my TBR list!
Thanks Lisa!
Best wishes

Thanks for your comment Suzy! I feel that way about many of the self published titles I have read lately, and I have been reading a lot of them! (mostly for homework to see how my writing compares.....lol) But Pinelight was really a great book to read, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thanks for your comment!
