"The rawness is what perked me up when I heard this first - and I've never forgotten that. You know, I've gotten a lot of her albums since, but that first one... There's an American singer called Nancy Wilson and the tone of their voices is very similar. When they first played it, I was driving back down to London from the north of England - it came on the radio and I thought, 'Thank God, Nancy Wilson has gone back to church.' You know what I mean, Nancy Wilson has got more soul, because the tones of their voices are very similar. But then they said 'this new singer, Aretha Franklin...' so I went out and bought the record in London. Meeting her for the first time [Franklin appeared on This Is Tom Jones], Aretha was very quiet - unbelievably quiet. I mean you'd go 'Hello' and she'd say 'Hello.' 'How are you?' 'Fine thank you.' 'Great!' And that's it. And when we were doing the rehearsal, and she'd open her mouth to sing, the volume that came from this woman - how can a girl who's so shy and quiet - all of a sudden BOOM - burst?"

Mirror Sacrifice ( Dark Legacy book 2)
By Margo Ryerkerk
⭐️⭐️⭐️

After escaping a serial killer, Sierra travels to London, ready to embrace her supernatural heritage.

In addition to training, she has to assert her place among the snobbish elite and decide what to do about Gavin as he grows more distant and teams up on a mission with his charming ex.

To claim her spot in the supernatural world, Sierra trains harder than ever with Cooper who tasked with protecting her soon becomes more.

But matters of the heart will have to wait as the Culpatus returns with unexpected allies and the intention to fulfill a dark prophecy that spells the end of the world.


It was good it picks up with Gavin and sierra arriving in London so she can start her training. Her and Gavin are separated as he has to go hunting for killers with his ex and she’s left with Cooper learning her powers. Safe to say all hell breaks lose and a lot of things become clear. It was decent and well written.
