Bruinn Genre: Fiction, Family, Domestic Life Pages: 111 Rating: 4.5/5 I just finished reading this book and sat down to review immediately because I couldn't wait to share my thoughts with all of you!   Defending Rebecca  is a true story with little fiction thrown in and, might I add, it is absolutely interesting, funny and thoroughly enjoyable.

She hires an au pair, Rebecca, for help for a time period of five weeks. Rebecca is actually a part of a reality show. The show records the au pair's experience with Emma's family; moments, interviews et

Book Review: Shadows Of The Northlands

Buy from Amazon.in Title:  Shadows of the Northlands Author: Vishwesh Desai Genre: Fantasy, Historical Pages: 512 Publisher: Estrade Publishers Rating: 4/5 Shadows of the Northlands   is a historical fantasy by Vishwesh Desai . The author is a 14 year old, yes you read that right! I cannot begin to tell you how surprised I was when I read the book and connected the effort to that of a 14 year old. It is just truly exceptional! More on my thoughts later. First, let's get to the summary. Salisar is a mighty empire, attacks on which have been ceased centuries ago. But recent events of destruction tell a different story. Merin, a bounty hunter and Rikkard, the courtier mage, are given the responsibility to find the root cause of it all. Together they travel the empire and encounter shocking mysteries, not to mention the secret Merin discovers, related to his past. They also have to unravel the mystery of the dark forces that threaten the empire. I am not revealing much

Book Excerpt : Sin and Cider

Excerpt Sin and Cider, Copyright © 2017 by K. Reese Shaking the lust from my mind, I decide to turn my focus to the inside of the barn now that I’ve finished the thankless task of clearing out weeds. I had pulled out some of the rubbish inside already but still have a lot of work to do. I pull one of the doors to the side, the gentle creaking sound washing over me in a wave of nostalgia. I make my way inside and step over dried leaves and debris, each step kicking up a layer of dust.

I survey the space and take in the old tanks where we used to make cider and the empty jugs, some whole and some broken, lining the walls on shelves covered in cobwebs.

I take a deep breath a
