Merissa (12911 KP) rated Arandora Star in Books
Dec 17, 2018
This is a fictional story set around a factual event and to put it in a few descriptive words, it is poignant, heart-rending, thought provoking and disturbing. I could go on but I won't. What I will do is recommend that you read for yourself this amazing story that certainly sheds a different light on the whole affair.
The story unfolds at a steady pace and you are given time to empathise with the characters in the different situations they find themselves in. This is a gripping and compelling novel that will keep you glued to the pages until the end and will then leave you with a book-hangover as you ponder what you have read. I was filled with "what-ifs, maybes and should haves" for a fictional character but the ending was perfect for the book.
This is an amazing book and I really can't recommend it highly enough. Prepare to be immersed in history.

In return, the Blood family dedicated their lives, and their deaths to the protection of the town of Thorne.For many years, the town of Thorne was nothing more than a picturesque New England village. But in modern day, the town is enjoying a boom in real estate development. To satisfy the developers with enough land, the town has decided to break the Blood Contract.And the Bloods are not pleased.Not at all.Now, as Autumn moves ever on towards winter, the Aldermen and the people of Thorne are going to learn that there is a price for ignorance.And it's higher than they could have ever imagined.

Supernova ( cursed book 3)
By Meg Anne and Jessica Wayne
Love is the only light Skye Giovanni can find during the darkest moments of her life.
Kidnapped, tortured, and cut-off from everyone she loves, it won't be long before even that bright spark burns out.
Detective Lucas MacConnell is not used to losing.
A master at piecing together the clues others often miss, Lucas is backed into a corner when the Druid manages to trick him. Now he's unsure how to keep going when it feels like he's already lost.
The stakes are higher than ever before, and each moment that passes puts their enemy closer to meeting his goal.
Their lives are the only thing standing in his way.
I have loved this trilogy I’m fast becoming a fan of both these authors! We finally see this foursome get an happy ending! It was hard fought for and fantastic to read I think this is the first book Series I’ve read based around druids and gypsies and I really enjoyed it!

I originally started to read this book on my mum's kindle years ago but never got round to progressing past the first few chapters. So when I was going solo on a day trip to London,I needed something light to read on the plane and I decided that it was the perfect time to pick it up again.
A light read is really what this is, it doesn't stretch you very much and not a lot actually happens yet it's written in such a way that it keeps you engaged and wanting to read on.
The ending however, everyone always tells of the ending right? well the ending is annoyingly open ended forcing you to question everything you just read.
I ended up bringing it to America with me as well just so I could finish it which I inevitably did. And when I finished, I guess you could say that I was satisfied, I wasn't left hungering for more or wishing it had ended pages ago so I guess that's just the sign of a good book.
