Escape by J A Davenport

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you, @HeatherJFitt , for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Escape is set in the Mediterranean about John who has lost his wife and is trying to run away from his sadness and Pain but his life starts to change but not for the better. The descriptions in the book were brilliant. It made me feel I was in the Mediterranean with John. I found the story slow at the beginning but after a few chapters the pace sped up and then I could not put it down. I did feel sorry for John due to him seeing happy couples around him. He was surround in greif and drank to get rid of his pain.Then I felt more bad for him when he ended up in the world of drugs. I wanted to shout at him to run. Entertaining story that will keep you gripped to the end. If you like crime mystery this book is for you 4 stars. That is the question John, a trauma doctor, asks himself over and over as he mourns the death of his wife. Lost and alone, he wanders the streets of a glamorous Mediterranean resort trying to escape the pain. He drifts from bar to bar until he meets Jasna, a captivating hostess. She teases him out of his suffering and, against their better judgement, they fall in love. Then tragedy strikes, and John is pitched into a ruthless world of drugs, prostitution and murder, where life is cheap and nothing is as it seems. In this all-new edition, Escape: The Hunter Cut takes the classic tale of L.A. Davenport’s debut novel Escape and retells it through John’s eyes, as he battles with himself and the events that threaten to overwhelm him.

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.

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...
