Book review: Heir of Ra (Blood of Ra Book One) by M. Sasinowski

Heir of Ra by M. Sasinowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surprisingly interesting book!

I have to confess that I was surprised by this book. The ideas in it are original and interesting. The YA part is realistic and definitely not too much. The characters are nice and far from predictable.
I have to say that this book left me wanting to read the next one in the series.

Book Quotes - quote #1

I want to start a new rubric in this book. It is going to be my favourite topic - book quotes!
Every now and then when I see something worth sharing, I am going to post it here, with its respectable number.
For now, I am going to start with my all-time favourite quote:

“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

Review: Miss Polly had a Dolly

Miss Polly had a Dolly by Willow Rose
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I can't say I like it....

The book is gruesome in so many ways that I can't even begin to list them.
Somewhere I read that this book is like a car crash, and if I have to be honest, I have to totally agree. It is like looking at a crime scene that is despicable and still you cannot take your eyes off it.
It has a lot of unnecessary pervert scenes that it is unpleasant to read in places. Moreover, I could not quite agree with the reasoning of the killer for choosing his specific victims. The writer does explain at some point in the story, why the valiant does what it does, but still... Her reasoning seems shallow and just made up to me.
I don't know if I am going to read the next in the series.
