Echoes of us
By S.H. Timmins
What happens if your life begins on the wrong side of right?
What will you sacrifice when secrets and money are the weapons of choice?
How do you combine memories and dreams to reshape the future?
You place your trust in the innocence of love, embrace the passion it offers, and never let it go.
Jolene and Cruz are childhood friends who were ripped apart by tragedy, tearing Jolene from her home and everything she knew. Now, in their senior year of high school, Cruz finds Jolene in her new life - a life she never wanted and will do anything to escape from. Together, they need to discover the secrets that forced them apart, to save Jolene from the dangers of her new family. Along the way, they find that a friendship born in childhood can become the love of a lifetime.
This is a new author for me and I have to say I enjoyed this book so much! Her writing style is so comfortable to read, the story is really good and you’re rooting for Jolene all the way through! It’s so sweet and endearing. I would definitely love to see another book following these characters!

This book was for a younger audience however I did enjoy it. It was easy reading and reminded me of my days at school. So I would say the intended audience was probably teenagers who are going through school. They would probably be really able to relate. I would recommend this book to this audience.
The blurb grabbed my attention but it was a shame the story didn't end when the book did. I wanted to read the full details of how Ray became disabled as we were only teased with a bit of information about it in this book. The books are only available on Amazon and I have a Kobo so am unable to read them. Kobo do not support Amazon books.
The author's writing helped each character have their own personality which helped distinguish each character. Their personalities shone though.
The character's changed slightly throughout the book. This looks to be all down to Ray but also people change as they go through the school year and when new people come into their friendship group.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

The Familiars is a story about an unlikely friendship. Fleetwood Shuttleworth is from a noble family, she is pregnant with her fourth child and scared. As, to the dissapointment of her husband, she has never carried a baby to term. Alice Grey, is a midwife from a poor background with an impressive knowledge of herbs. A chance encounter in the middle of a wood throws the two women together and intertwines their fate.
Fleetwoods pregnancy progresses further than she’s ever carried before, with the help of Alice. However, in the world of novels, things never quite run smoothly and soon Alice stands accused of witchcraft. As Fleetwood despairs for the fate of her friend she soon finds herself in a desperate situation and the only way for both women to survive is to uncover a few dark secrets.
This was such an easy read, the story flowed so smoothly and the characters were very engaging. I particularly liked how the character of Fleetwoods husband, Richard, was written. As throughout the whole book you’re finding yourself changing your mind as to the type of person he is, and I still don’t really know if he is what I would class as a ‘good’ person.

To think this is a true story...... wow!
I can't believe this is a real story, kinda makes me want to do it with my buddies. We were in the mood for a film like this so we laughed quite often but I think they were quite cheap gags, that were really over the top.
The characters fit well together and I could believe that they probably wouldn't be friends without the game. However, they were supposed to have a good friendship and I'm not sure that was really invoked till right at the end. I think there could have been more work on remembering the good times as they visited lots of places from their teen years.
When I was first introduced to the reporter I thought, oh so you've tried to appeal to a female audience too by adding in a character to explain the plot but actually I think this highlights the true story aspect.
I can't believe some of the subjects that are dealt with. By the end of it you are second guessing everything as no plot is too big for these guys, just to tag one another.
Would recommend if you are fancying a funny, silly light-hearted films.
