I thought this book was fantastic and I was hooked to the story and could not put it down. I was sad it ended because I loved the characters.

Image
Thank you @rararesources and @emmaburstall for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Beneath The Lemon Tree is about new beginnings and romance. The front cover is gorgeous, it made me want to live at that Villa. I would defiantly pick this book up in bookshop for its front cover alone and then once I read the blurb I would be very excited to read it even more.

Wolf-Boy by David Fitzpatrick

Image
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookreview #LBTYAHorror #LBTThriller #LBTLGBTQ for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Wolf Boy is a LGBTQ genre and is about Danny who is 16 teen years old. Danny is the main narrator the story. The story does go to past and present a few times and I liked how it jumps to this due to you understanding more what happened to Danny and why he was where he was in the present. I found it was easy to follow the story all the way through. It's about the summer of 1979 that changes his life not in a good way but that's just my opinion. I found Wolf Boy to me hard read due to the events that happened to Danny and felt for him emotionally and was sad by his struggles that happen to him due to people he thought where his friends Liam and Gracie. The story is written well and David Fitzpatrick has done his research well due to the topics that are mention in the book and tackle th...
