Book Review of O N C E : Ask Me Anything, Not Love BY Author Mian Mohsin Zia

Book Review of ONCE Ask Me Anything, Not Love BY Author Mian Mohsin Zia

5 out of 5 Stars *****




Love is a simple word. Yet it directs most of our lives. Without its existence, humanity would be bleak indeed. MorkeI, or better known as M - - No Time for Love is a well-known novelist, whose books are void of women. Now M - -No Time for Love is being requested by his publisher to come up with a love story. At first the idea doesn't appeal to him, but then he travels to Kiev, where he meets the beautiful Maya and everything changes. Now M - No Time for Love finds the idea of writing a love story appealing, as he discovers the beautiful Maya might just be the right woman to teach him about love.

ONCE ASK ME ANYTHING, NOT LOVE by Author Mian Mohsin Zia is a journey of one man's struggle to find love. The sites of Kiev and the Ukrainian people come alive in this lively tale. Morkel's visit to unknown funerals and weddings was interesting and often amusing. Maya was refreshing and likable.

An enjoyable read by a talented author.

Book Review of Hewhay Hall By Author by Susan Roebuck






 
 
Hope. It’s such a simple word. Yet it’s what drives most of us. Hope for a brighter future. Hope for wealth, happiness, health. So when firefighter Jude Elliot loses a leg due to a bomb explosion, he has a hard time adjusting and suffers from traumatic stress disorder. But hope flairs anew in Jude as he discovers there is a place called Hewhay Hall – a place with innovative medicine and refined rehabilitation. It might just be able to turn Jude’s life around. So begins Jude’s quest to find the elusive Hewhay Hall. But all is not what it seems. For Hewhay Hall holds a dark seductive mistress and birdlike creatures. So what begins as a hopeful journey into the dark English swampland quickly turns to survival against evil.


HEWHAY HALL by Sue Roebuck is a true page turner. It held my attention from page one with its distinctive characters and unique setting. Then came the horror of Hewhay Hall and I was hooked till the very end. Jude Elliot was as likable as they come. Equally compelling was Tess as she tries desperately to find Jude. Miss Verity Slater was vile and fascinating. I couldn’t wait to see what made her tick and was not disappointed in the find.

HEWHAY HALL was a fascinating read that made me squirm a bit. I really enjoyed this horrific tale and would like to see more works from this talented author. Wonderful read!
