January Reads & Reviews

Hello my faithful readers! Tis I, Marie, your reviewer of indie books, here to give you another list of interesting books I read in January. So without further ado, here are the indies I enjoyed last month.

Undressed
by Karina Kantas

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
This book delivers on everything the blurb promises: introductions to a couple novels that leave you wanting more, flash fiction, and poetry. Well written and full of emotion, this was certainly an enjoyable read. 

Pretty Guilty
by K.L. Cottrell

Rating: 5 Stars

Review:
A perfectly beautiful story.
K.L. Cottrell has such an amazing way with words. Her characters instantly jump off the page and the story immediately draws you in. She makes it so easy to fall in love with her characters, to feel their joy and sadness as your own. This story is laden with life lessons and really tugs at the heartstrings. 10 stars!




The Guardians
by Gina Moray

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
Equal parts thriller and murder mystery, this book will take you to dark places. I was reminded of Needful Things by Stephen King, with the way a demon drove into town and made deals, for a price. In the end, the price was too steep. Corpses and fields overflowing with blood were all that was left.
Gina Moray certainly puts you in the middle of all the action and horror. A creepy read that is not for weak stomachs!


Lunatic Justice
by Garrison Kelly

Rating: 5 Stars

Review:
This collection of poetry and songs will keep you on your toes and leave you shaking your head at the world at large. Garrison Kelly not only exposes the sad truths of mankind but puts them on display. The results are sometimes hard to swallow, or hard to read, but will elicit an emotional reaction from you. Whether that emotion is fear, anger, sadness, or disgust depends on the reader.
My favorites of the collection were "I Apologize," "My Body," "Thank You," "Rise and Shine," "Shadow Hawk," "Coasting," "I Still Remember," "Screaming Into the Abyss," and "STEM Sell."



All four and five star reviews last month! Woohoo, that's some entertaining reads! I hope you find a title from this list that sparks your interest. Always remember to tip your waitresses and review the indie products you enjoy. 
Happy reading!
