What a jerk.

He got a NDE and tried to sell it off as religious. 

What a load of crap.

His attitude is arrogant and he is full of shit. 

Don't buy this book and give money to jerk.

"The Redemption of Julian Price" by Victorian Vane

My Thoughts....

The author really gives the reader a beautiful historic romantic read that will keep your attention till the end. The read mainly focus with Henrietta Houghton and Julian Price giving one a well developed, defined told story of two people who just needed to be loved in their own special way. What will happen when Julian is faced with what his uncle has done with his inheritance? What did his best friend Henrietta offer to help him in order to help him with his problem? Would these two people be able to 'navigate the world of marriage?' Now, I don't what to tell the story but want you to want to pick up this lovely story and see how well this author brings it all out to her readers.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

he Mill Girls of Albion Lane was a captivating tale of life in the 1930’s and the Mill Industry. Fans of Margaret Dickson and Call the Midwife will definitely enjoy this book.

Set in the Bradford Mill Industry of the 1930’s we meet Lily, the eldest daughter of the Briggs family. Lily has worked in the Mill since she was 14 and is the middle daughter of a mother who tries her best and a drunken father. As well as learning about life during this period, and specifically the industry, we follow Lily and her family through some serious adversity involving health, betrayal, love, fear and the criminal justice system. When things get tough, we see how the mill community comes together to offer support.

I was captivated to the story throughout, crying on many occasion. I highly recommend a big box of tissues toward the later half of the book. At one point I cried so much I had to stop reading! To me that is the sign of a great story-teller.

All the characters are well-developed, making it easier to imagine them and to develop a kind of relationship. You believe everyone you see to be real, feeling anger and hatred to some, and love toward others. Each and everyone of the characters could be someone you know. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Lily and Billy, although that was where most of my tears came from. The not so likable characters like her uncle and cousin really got my hackles up!

I feel the story itself is well enough paced. Although I found the first part of the book a little slow, the pace picks up nicely as you move on, passed the preliminaries. The history is well researched and accurate.

Overall, I think just about anyone would enjoy this book. Enjoy.

NB I Reveived this book free for an honest review

This is a small, odd little middle grade fantasy. It’s set in Wales, which is totally catnip to me. However, I felt a bit distanced from all the characters–it was like emotional beats were set up but not fleshed out enough for me to buy them.

As  part of my fundraising effort, I'm spotlighting some books that deal with illness on the Lantern. First up is an old fave.
