Thank you @hayleypricebook @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #LGBT #IndieAuthor #TheVermillionRibbon for letting be me part of this tour and reviewing this book. he Vermilion Cross book 2 in the series. It was so lovely to be back with Jorinda and Deineike and find out there next instalments of the danger they both are in. I dived straight into the book and was back where I last was left with the two main characters. It was great to see Jorinda and Deilneike develop and grow through the second book. I did feel for them both due to people wanted to kill them, and it was lovely to follow there romance while this was happening to them. The story full of adventure and will leave you hooked to the book to the end. The story is engaging and easy to get into. I strongly recommend this series . The Vermillion Cross is a fantastic read 5 stars. Blurb Love and death intertwine as the fates that are written for Jorinda draw her ever deeper into their embrace. Jorinda and Deineike may have escaped the clutches of the clandestine killers who seek them, but before long they are drawn back into a dangerous world where the only way to stay alive is to kill those who threaten you. When a stranger’s life is endangered, an unlikely ally requests Jorinda’s help, and her intervention leads to more revelations about the schemes of Styrrach, the man who longs to place her under his blade. Jorinda sets out to bring Styrrach down, determined to expose the corruption he has fostered in Dur’s corridors of power and extract her own vengeance on him. Characterised by meticulous world-building and visceral, detailed action scenes, The Vermilion Cross is a gripping story of power, corruption, deceit, and revenge. With every person Jorinda kills, her mental anguish deepens, and when allies become complications, Jorinda is compelled to make difficult decisions. Living with those decisions may be the hardest thing of all. Following immediately on from the events of The Vermilion Ribbon, The Vermilion Cross is the second book of The Vermilion Saga, a secondary-world sapphic low fantasy series with sprinklings of other genres such as romance, mystery and adventure that add to its complexity. Content advisory – Violence, Mild sex, Suicide ideation Author Bio: Hayley Price has always been a storyteller. Throughout her life, she has told her story through songs as the principal songwriter in several bands, most recently Adventures With Alice, whose songs feature in many of her books. In 2023, Hayley brings her creative talent to bear on her debut novel, The Vermilion Ribbon. This moody sapphic novel blends elements of fantasy, romance and adventure into a gripping tale of betrayal, vengeance and love with a thrilling climax that will leave you breathless. As book one of The Vermilion Saga, The Vermilion Ribbon serves as the entrĂ©e for an epic journey through a scintillating plot that takes us throughout the land of Dur and far beyond. Greed, political corruption and complex social issues all disrupt the peaceful life that Corelle, the central character, enjoys in her early years. A New Zealander, Hayley currently lives in Canberra, Australia with her long-time partner and a grumpy, bossy cat called Rosie. She loves baseball and suffers eternal torture as a fan of the San Francisco Giants. Music has been a major part of her life, and outside of her own compositions, she is an enormous fan of Christopher Cross as well as Daryl Hall & John Oates and underrated 80s UK prog-rock band Voyager, who once named her their #1 fan Author's Website: www.hayleyprice.net

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.

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...
