Rethink God is a work of non-fiction focusing on spiritual and religious concepts and was penned by author Nadiez Bahi. It is a complex work with a long and well thought out reasoning; the work focuses on the central question as to whether God exists or not. As we strive to answer this question for ourselves, the author explores ideas from science, philosophy, and atheist reasoning, and puts these alongside ideas of extreme religious enthusiasm and the search for definitive proof. What results is an informative and critical look at both extremes of thought on the existence of God, and one which allows us as a reader to find our own path amongst the myriad of ideas and search for our own truth. Author Nadiez Bahi offers a work that is truly like nothing I have ever read on the topic of religion, faith, and God. As someone who is not particularly religious, the exploration element of the work gave me plenty of space to have my own opinions without being preached to. But the beauty of the work is in this freedom because the narrative style encourages you to question the information presented as well as your own assumptions, and I did form new opinions of my own beliefs during the reading experience. Bahi’s prose is level, unbiased, and clear in its presentation of different ideas, building to a powerful central conclusion that offers great insight towards the central question. Overall, I would recommend Rethink God to readers who are curious about religion and faith and would like to read more without being lectured.

The Sylver Platter: Becoming combines fantasy, mystery, and adventure. The work is intended for young adults but can also be thoroughly enjoyed by adult readers. Penned by J.B. Fitzgerald, in this impressive and immersive opening to an exciting new series, we find ourselves following the initially humdrum life of Sylvia Platt, a young woman who shies away from drama. But when Sylvia is shot multiple times, and her body refuses to die, a unique opportunity arrives in super-heroic proportions. It won’t be easy to transform from pacifist to hero, but her island needs her as a string of deadly murders puts them all on edge. J.B. Fitzgerald has crafted a superb work of superhero drama and fantastic fantasy mystery that will keep fans of either genre engaged from beginning to end. One of the things that most impressed me about this work was its unique approach to crafting an anti-hero who is far from the usual gritty, grumpy renegade archetypes. Sylvia is wonderfully distinctive, with witty, well-spun dialogue that includes quips and big giggles but also really characterizes her perspective on the situation she’s found herself in. She’s deeply reluctant, which makes her all the more endearing to root for as challenge after challenge is thrown her way, and the author’s inventiveness at finding solutions to these issues, which are uniquely Sylvia, is second to none. The Sylver Platter is an incredible start to what promises to be a fantastic, original, and atmospheric new series, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Quandaries of Love is a sizzling hot romance novella penned by author Valerie J Runyan. This quick read romance takes a diverse route to its romantic conclusions, featuring couples of the same gender, age-gap relationships, and romance between differently abled people. In this very different approach, we find that excitement, passion, love, and tenderness still exist for all people, as human nature doesn’t really change despite the configuration of the couple. From the fluid lifestyles of those lust-driven souls who have just met, to the long-lasting connections and impressions which love can make, this modern romantic tale shoots through it all in the blink of an eye. Written in a dialogue-driven style which reads more like a play than a novel, the moments captured during Quandaries of Love sizzle with passion despite the unusual pairings and situations by which people come together. I would have liked a little more depth and slower pacing in certain moments to really understand the characters’ intentions fully, but readers who wish to get right to the point will not be disappointed by Valerie J Runyan’s sharp writing style. There are high points of vivid description and raw emotion, and the diversity presented in both the characters and the different styles of narration and dialogue offer much to enjoy through every page of this quick adventure into the world of modern love. Runyan provides great insight into the world beyond the boy-meets-girl tradition with real love, joy, pain, and passion, and I’d recommend this book to anyone seeking romance with a realistically modern twist.

As Audrey's defiance grows, she becomes entangled in a dangerous game with her increasingly unstable mother, risking everything for her independence. Author Pamela Ungashick utilizes strong narrative confidence to craft a gripping and emotionally charged novel that delves deep into the complexities of family dynamics. Ungashick's vivid storytelling perfectly captures the oppressive atmosphere of Audrey's household, immersing readers in her harrowing journey toward freedom. The detail in the descriptions of people and places also enhances this unsettling feeling, perfectly matching the emotions of the scene. The characters are well-crafted with realistic-sounding dialogue and strong descriptions, each grappling with their demons and motivations, particularly Audrey and Edith, whose tumultuous relationship drives the narrative forward with intensity, suspense, and some dynamic dialogue exchanges. As Audrey confronts her mother's escalating madness, the stakes are raised to a heart-pounding climax that leaves a lasting impact that is surprising and satisfying.

What Lies Buried is a work of fiction in the interpersonal drama, psychological thriller, and emotive writing subgenres, and is a follow-up to the harrowing events of Secrets In The Mirror. Penned by author Leslie Kain, the work is best suited to adult readers owing to the dark and potentially upsetting subject matter. We return to a poignant exploration of the complexities of trauma, family secrets, and the resilience required for healing. Gavin, scarred by a lifetime of abuse, grapples with Complex PTSD. As he confronts his family's mob history, the triggers intensify, putting him in a dangerous situation. His wife, Katie, supports him despite the strain on their marriage, while uncovering her own past and abandoned artistic talents. Author Leslie Kain really knows how to focus a dramatic and engaging lens on the subject of trauma's enduring impact on individuals and relationships. The narrative is suitably close to the action and right on the shoulders of the central characters, navigating this intense psychological landscape and portraying the rawness of their struggles authentically. Kain handles the subject matter of abuse and PTSD with sensitivity, highlighting the challenges of confronting buried pain, and it’s clear that a lot of research and empathy has gone into this element of the work. The novel also beautifully juxtaposes Gavin's journey with Katie's self-discovery, painting a vivid picture of resilience in the face of adversity, and giving those faint strands of hope that help us through the darkest times of the plot. The exploration of art as a means of coping and healing was a unique touch that I’ve never seen in novels of this genre before. Overall, What Lies Buried is a powerful narrative that I would highly recommend to fans of deeply psychological, cathartic, and honest storytelling.
