Crossing Day by William A. Glass | Book Review ~ Author Guest Post ~ $25 Gift Card Available ~ Excerpt | #AlternateHistory #YoungAdult @GoddessFish @william.glass.50767 @williamasaglass @WilliamAGlass3

Crossing Day by William A. Glass | Book Review ~ Author Guest Post ~ $25 Gi..

"Crossing Day" is a gripping thriller that paints a chillingly plausible picture of a modern South still shackled by its past. The narrative deftly explores the dynamics of power and prejudice, with the Confederacy’s alliance with Nazi Germany adding a dark twist to the tale. The author’s vivid world-building and the stark parallels drawn to our own society underscore the vigilance needed to protect democracy.

Murder at the College by P.H. Turner | Book Review & $20 Gift Card Ava..

True to the spirit of escapism found in many great novels, ‘Murder at the College’ asks readers to indulge in a bit of disbelief suspension. The romance unfolds with haste, and coincidences abound, but isn’t that the joy of reading? To lose oneself in a story’s embrace?

After reviewing Laury A. Egan's previous book, I was pleased to be invited to review her newest release, Jack and I. While the story is sometimes a complex and heart-wrenching tale, it underscores the presence of good people willing to protect the innocent and the urgent need for reforms in the foster care system.

There are themes of physical, sexual, and mental child abuse, rape, grooming, and sexual content. While I would typically avoid a book with these themes, I am so glad I agreed to read Jack and I. Change can never be made, nor situations like Jack's prevented, if we bury our heads in the sand. My heart goes out to young Jack, and I wish him all the best in the future.
