Quigley Tree: A Novel by Linda A Lavid (Plum Barn Press) 4.7 Stars (31 Reviews)    Price verified 41 minutes ago

Quigley Tree drops out of college. At age 23, she's been a complete failure. If she doesn't do something soon, her life will careen into a deep, dark, irrevocable void. Tick Tock. That soon is now. From the publisher: Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite by Lorraine Cobcroft: Quigley Tree, the protagonist of Linda A. Lavid's novel of the same name, is a young woman with an odd name. A college dropout from a dysfunctional home, and recently escaped from a relationship with a narcissist, Quigley needs to find a new place to live, quickly. A unique idea sets her on a path to find accommodation in a motel in exchange for providing marketing help, but she eventually must admit she has no idea what she is doing. She is a complete mess and has no faith in her ability to do anything useful with her life. Yet a kindly couple takes her on, and, with their help, and the help of an elderly lady she befriends, she begins to reshape her life and overcome her self-destructive attitude. Quirky is the best adjective to describe this work by Linda A. Lavid. Quigley Tree is as quirky as the protagonist's name. Q (as Quigley calls herself) grew on me and won me over. I empathized with her deep feelings of insecurity and her struggle to come to terms with a fractured family and a chaotic childhood. As the story progressed, there were poignant moments, and Lavid presented some interesting perspectives on life. There were also touches of whimsy in this tale of resilience and determination. In classic literary fiction style, Lavid focuses her novel on the character and theme rather than the plot. Quigley Tree, the story, ambles along at a leisurely pace, tracking Q's growth and gradual acceptance of herself and adjustment of her attitude toward her defective mother. Pearls of wisdom are scattered in conversations with her elderly friend, her employers, and the man who eventually wins her affection. The ending tempted me to shed a few tears, touched by Quigley's care for her toddler ...

Everyone has their demons. Star has Crow. Star is the client whisperer in Crow's business model. Crow identifies some poor soul, marked for death, and gaining ground in the fight against their own demons. Star finesses the client, breaking the news of their imminent demise. Once they believe her, she gets to know them, their hopes, dreams, and regrets, as they ruminate on the unfairness of it all. Then, she makes the pitch. Would you sell your soul to save your life? How about someone else's soul? That's the deal Star offers their clients. That's the deal Star made with Crow.

His schemes give him power and influence among his peers and draw the ire of powerful enemies. Star is a night shift coroner at the center of a supernatural, corporate battle, one she can't even see without help from the other side. That might be enough to scare her off, on a feeling day. Post-emotional purge, though... ? With enough fresh coffee and indulgent showers, she's pretty sure she's got it all under control.

Black Swan meets Little Fires Everywhere in award-winning author Tammy Greenwood's addictive new novel of suburban noir set in the hyper-competitive world of ballet girls and their mothers as they compete for a prestigious prize... "She had never seen Bea dance like this. Ever sat spellbound as her daughter grew from a little girl into a woman before her eyes... " Ever, Lindsay, and Josie have ushered their daughters -- Bea, Olive, and Savvy -- through years of dance classes in their coastal California town. They've tended bloodied feet, stitched ribbons to countless pairs of pointe shoes, and in the process, forged friendships that seem to transcend rivalry. But now Etienne Bernay, enfant terrible of French ballet, has come to their conservatory. Not only will he direct this year's production of The Nutcracker, but he's brought along a film crew to document his search for one special student who will receive a full scholarship to the Ballet de Paris Academie. For the girls, this is the chance to fulfill lifelong dreams. For Ever, recently widowed and struggling financially, it may be the only way to keep Bea dancing. And Bea is a truly gifted dancer -- poetic and ethereal, breathtaking to watch. Lindsay, meanwhile, frets that Olive is growing tired of the punishing reality of training, while Josie has no such qualms about Savvy, who is a powerhouse of ambition. From auditions to casting to rehearsals, the cameras capture the selection process, with its backstabbing and jealousy, disappointment and triumph. But it's behind the scenes that Bernay's arrival will yield the most shocking revelations, exposing the secrets and lies at the heart of all three families -- and the sacrifices women make for their children, for friendship, and for art.

Zombie Nights (Rays and Nights Book 1) by Tom Lichtenberg 3.3 Stars (44 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"Being a zombie, not so easy". That could have been Dave Connor's six word memoir. "At first he couldn't remember how he'd ended up in that shallow grave; he just knew it was hell to claw his way out, and that the taste of its dirt would remain in his mouth for the rest of his time on this earth"... Expect the unexpected in this existential resurrection thriller. The Book's Review of Itself: This is not really a story about zombies, for of course there are no such creatures,only maybe that some people are more dead than others, and while some people may have all the luck, others have very little of it. This is an absurdist fable at heart, whose moral is that no matter where you go, there you are, even after death.

I killed Bambi (BiBook) by ZEd Lab (0111 Edizioni) 3.3 Stars (8 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Silvia and Deborah are two students like many others. They love music and joints, not so much school and rules. One day, they go into their classroom, at their high school in the heart of Rome, and start shooting on their classmates. The first to fall is Eleonora, punished because she was considered the most brilliant and the most beautiful of the students. Other young people will die with her, according to a very precise list that Silvia and Deborah have been preparing for a long time. A real slaughter like those that occur in American colleges or in northern Europe. Except that, for the first time, the shooters are two girls. "I killed Bambi" is the history of this dramatic episode of female bullying, but it is also a journey inside the mind of a teenager, split between anxiety and anger, without references and prospects for the future, like many young people of her generation. A unique novel in its kind, a novel that "begins with the end"...

The Avengement Series: Sometimes a person gets pushed too far. Book One: Stiletto (A Caddy Rowland Psychological Thriller & Drama) Never underestimate the value of a kick-ass pair of heels.

Inheritance by Thomas Wymark 3.9 Stars (20,020 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Somewhere deep in her mind Christine Marsden is witnessing the murder of young girls. And now she has urges to hurt her own children. After a head injury which left her having nightmares and visions, Christine is convinced that something inside her brain has broken, and that she is slowly sinking into insanity. She is terrified of what she might be capable of. She fears that in losing her mind she will also lose her children and husband. Christine embarks on a desperate fight to try to halt the fracture of her mind before it's too late, and in doing so, discovers the hidden truth behind the dark horrors she is experiencing. Inheritance is one of a loose series of psychological suspense and mystery thrillers in which Thomas Wymark delves into the dark and hidden places of our minds. Q. Why do some of your novels focus on the mind? A. I've always enjoyed fiction that explores our darkest thoughts and potential capabilities. I believe that normal human beings can be capable of absolute wickedness as well as absolute kindness. Q. Is Inheritance part of a series, and if so, what other titles are part of the series? A. Inheritance is part of a loose collection of psychological suspense thrillers that aren't connected by anything other than their examination of the mind. My novel "You Can't Get Them Back" is about a guy who wakes up from a sixteen year coma to discover that his wife has been murdered (along with a mother and baby) - and he is the only suspect. My short story "No More Sunshine" looks at a man who, mentally, just can't take it anymore, but the action he takes leads to unintended consequences. Q. Do you only write psychological suspense thrillers? A. No. I have two series books coming soon, which are more thriller than psychological - although I suspect there will be an element of "mind mess" in there somewhere.
