Betrayal
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️
Aiden O'Hara has been head of the family since he was a kid, and he's going to keep it that way.
Jade Dixon watches his back. Mother of his son, she's the one who makes him invincible.
But Jade's been in the game a lot longer than Aiden. She knows no one's indestructible.
And when you're at the top, that's when you've got to watch the hardest.
Especially the ones closest to you . . .
I usually love a Cole book but this one just didn’t do anything for me! I found it kinda repetitive and predictable. Which is such a shame as I was so looking forward to it. I had no care for any of the characters at all I think it was kind of a cop out with Agnes and her part in this story I thought she could have been a bit more than she was. Overall it was just an ok read.

Leo is a highly regarded businesswoman that has fought tooth and nail for what she has. She has done things she's not proud of to protect the ones she loves, her mother - who is in a maximum security prison - ends up in a coma through an overdose of an illegal substance. It's up to Leo and the few people she trusts to get to the bottom of what happened.
This book is not for the faint-hearted there is quite a bit of dark stuff in here that could be a trigger for some people as there is abuse mentioned. I did enjoy the story once I got into it. I just found it a bit backward and forward to start with but then you travel farther into the story and it gets easier to comprehend.
A recommendation by me.

That forms an early part of this graphic novel, up to about - roughly- the half way mark.
As I said before when I read and reviewed book 1 Frank Herbert's DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 1, my only exposure to the Dune tale beforehand was that 2021 film (although I knew the broad strokes: desert planet, Spice, giant Sandworms), so I do feel it will be interesting to see, when part 2 of the movie series comes out, just how close it sticks to this graphic novel. Especially as, apparently (and as the foreword says), the authors and illustrators of this have tried to stick as close as possible to Frank Herbert 's original text as possible ...

Bound ( Destine Academy book 6)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As Caroline embarks on year eleven at magical Destine Academy, she’s more determined than ever to find out what has happened to her mother and brother
...even if it means taking down her aunt, headmistress for the academy, Marguerite Destine.
Her feelings towards Aldrick and Corbin are more complicated than ever, as both gentlemen keep their distance, leaving Caroline confused.
While the headmistress denies that Tempeste and The Entiere pose any imminent threat, Caroline is still haunted by her encounter and is determined to master the POWERS of the four factions; Magicks, Surnaturals, Metamorphes and Voyantes.
With the help of her friends, Caroline’s strength grows as she learns what it means to harness her destiny—but will it be too late?
I love this little series I look forward to each book. They are quick read that always packs a punch!
