Henry's End by Julie A. Richman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Spoiler-free review
Rating: 5 stars
Title: Henry’s End
Author: Julie A. Richman
Release Date: May 11, 2015
Cliffhanger: No

This second chance m/m romance took my breath away. Julie Richman’s captivating writing style kept me glued to my Kindle from the first page to the last. Henry’s story came to a beautiful end at Henry's End (yes, I know what you’re thinking). BUT you need to find out what I am talking about you pervs ;)

This is not a “pornified” m/m driven story. Please don’t get me wrong. I LOVE crazy hot m/m romance books, and Henry’s End has a satisfying spice factor that is not amplified or overdone. If you're curious and thinking about "dipping your toe" in the m/m gay romance genre, this is absolutely the book to read. If you are a seasoned m/m romance reader, you will be equally enraptured by this beautiful, emotionally driven, sexy story. Henry’s story is believable, real, and full of heartfelt emotion. Julie managed to pull on my heart strings and didn’t let go. I laughed, I cried, I screamed and then I couldn't wait to tell you how much I loved this book.

Henry’s End is a standalone book and based on characters from Julie’s best-selling Moore trilogy. If you haven’t read the Moore series, you will not feel lost. If anything, you will want to read more about Henry’s old friends in the Moore series. Henry’s End was all that and Moore ❤.

FIRST LOOK – Echo (The Black Lotus Series Book #2) - SPOILER FREE REVIEW - FIVE STARS

I feel like I just won the book lottery with Echo. E.K.’s writing is nothing short of brilliant. This unique book series should be made into a cable show or movie. Bravo EK Blair! Check out my review below.

ECHO (Black Lotus, book 2)

Coming May 12

A Psychosexual Thriller

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21860884-echo

Synopsis

It's been said the longest echo ever measured lasted 75 seconds, but I can assure you, this will last much longer. The bang deafened the world around me, muting everything into nullity, allowing the reflection of its destruction to live far beyond its intended life.

It will follow me forever, destroying me—destroying you.

You want answers?

So do I.

Read BANG (Black Lotus, Book # 1) FIRST

Echo by E.K. Blair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
FIRST LOOK – Echo (The Black Lotus Series Book #2)
Rating – Five Stars
Release Date: May 12, 2015
Author: E.K. Blair

I set my expectation level super high for Echo after reading Bang. I am super happy to say that one of my most anticipated book releases of the year surpassed my expectation level. I love when that happens. I feel like I just won the book lottery with Echo.

A few things to note:
1. I highly recommend reading Bang (Book #1) prior to reading Echo (Book #2). I tried to skim Bang and ended up rereading it. I got sucked in all over again.
2. You need to go into reading this book totally blind. This review is spoiler free. I will not even give you a hint about what's to come. I want you to have the same experience as me.
3. Be prepared to pull an all-nighter. You will not be able to put this book down.

In Echo, E.K. Blair continues weaving Nina’s dark and depraved story of vengeance. E.K. spins an unforgettable and intricate web of love, lies, murder and mayhem. Real world monsters with blackened hearts come to life in this psychosexual thriller. Nothing about these characters or this story feels sugar coated. The twisted plot and intense character development made this book absolutely unputdownable. My brain is shredded, and I can’t “wash my eyes out” after reading and envisioning some of the madness. I binge read this book. I had no choice. This fine piece of Kindle Crack was worth the year long wait. E.K.’s writing is nothing short of brilliant. This unique book series should be made into a cable show or movie. Bravo EK Blair!

Kindle Crack Book Reviews - Top pick for 2015
MRMR – Must Read/Must Recommend

This review appears on www.kindlecrack.net, www.facebook.com/kindlecrack , Goodreads, Amazon, Google+ and Twitter. A review copy of this book was kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

E.K. Blair, takes her readers on an emotional roller coaster with her dynamic and intense writing style. Noted for her ability to create fleshed-out characters that will evoke a realm of reactions, you can be assured that her stories will linger with you far beyond the last word.

A former first grade teacher with an imagination that runs wild. Daydreaming and zoning out is how she was often found in high school. Blair tends to drift towards everything dark and moody. Give her a character and she will take pleasure in breaking them down, digging into their core to find what lies underneath.

Aside from writing, E.K. Blair finds pleasure in music, drinking her Starbucks in peace, and spending time with her friends. She’s a thinker, an artist, a wife, a mom, and everything in between.

SPOILER FREE – FIRST LOOK AT AMBER TO ASHES BY Gail McHugh

Amber to Ashes is one of my top picks for 2015. This is a Kindle Crack Book Reviews MRMR (Must Read Must Recommend) 5 stars. June 9th release.

SPOILER FREE – FIRST LOOK AT AMBER TO ASHES BY Gail McHugh. I just finished Amber to Ashes and need to tell you about this book. If it isn’t on your reading list, it needs to be. Gail mentions in her acknowledgments that “Considering Amber to Ashes is 90 percent true-life pieces of myself, made up of fragments of my past and present (the other 10 percent thrown in to make you wonder what it is I’ve really gone through) it was a doozy to write.” This story, Gail’s story, packed an emotional wallop and was unputdownable. Amber to Ashes knocked me on my book loving ass and shook me to my core. This book has consumed my life for a few days, and I can’t get this story and its characters out of my head. Amber to Ashes is different than Gail’s other books, but unequivocally addicting and memorable. Her writing is stunning, hot and haunting. Did I mention that my Kindle was reduced to ashes?
