By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT and @decker_ab for letting me be part of this your and reviewing this book. Flowers from the Black Sea is a crime thriller and is set in Turkey. The main characters where Mark who has been asked by his friend Ben to find someone . Mark is a private investigator, but Mark finds out there a lot more to finding this man, it is to do with Ben sister who was murder by the person Mark is looking for. Mark also meets Amber who helps to uncover what really happened to Susie (Ben sister). The story is a good pace you can keep up with, and it is intriguing read. There were times I was gripping the sofa because I had no clue what was going to happen to Mark and Ben. There are themes in the book, misogyny , gangsters, murder, and politics. There are some great twists and turns I did not see coming and is written exceedingly well. If you want a different read from normal this is your book. There is omniscient narrative which I liked because you saw all the characters perspective and what was going on around them. 4 stars engrossing read. A.B’s Bio A native of Exeter, A.B.

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.

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.

We overcompensate f...
