The Turning Point: e by W.J. Blackwood

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @litpr and W.J.Blackwood for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The turning point is a good read . I did find the first few chapters hard to get into but after that I really enjoyed the story and plot. I like the characters and it was good to see them develop through the book. This is the first book I have read by W. J Blackwood and I will be looking out for more of his books in the future. It is good read and entertaining to the end. 4 stars. Blurb A young American is stranded in Scotland without any idea of how this has happened. She fights to discover the hidden forces of a shadowy organisation responsible for her abduction. She has been the victim of people trafficking, but her trafficker betrays the organisation due to a hopeless juvenile infatuation with her for which pays with his life. She lands among a group of isolated people, one of whom shows genuine affection for her but which she only at length is able to return. Her new companion, and an eccentric retired policeman, have been forced to recognise what is going on in the world by what has happened to her. Accompanied by her two new companions, the trio takes the fight to California to try to discover the nature of who has done this to her. There they meet up with other rebels and they achieve some success in fighting the organisation, but their progress becomes increasingly violent as their enemy in turn reacts with ever greater fury. When it overplays its hand, it ruthlessly turns on its own to cover its tracks and retreat to obscurity. But only to wait for its next opportunity. About the Author W.J. Blackwood is a consultant meteorologist living in the North East of Scotland.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written. The illustrations are amazing and great fantasy. The story is at a great pace and love adventure running through the book 5 stars. Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory.

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
