Review: The Exorcism of Adolf Hitler by Connor Gunnin

~ likelystory18 ~ 1 Comment

Synopsis:

 It is March 1938 and Nazi Germany has plans for war. But it doesn’t have to happen. Can one exorcism change history?

When Werner Stengel entered the Nazi fold, he was a young Catholic priest. World War I had ended in defeat. He was desperate and loyalty to his country pushed his faith aside. It seemed Adolf Hitler had the answers Germany needed. But as Stengel watched Hitler’s rise, his skepticism grew. Was something more than evil at play? Something demonic?

Now, as Minister of the Interior, and with Germany’s plans for an even greater war in motion, he’s reached a critical point. Stengel’s small, loyal team of conspirators has just kidnapped the Nazi leader. They suspect Hitler is demonically possessed, but what they find is darker and more horrifying than they could have imagined.

The Rite of Exorcism may reveal the truth…if they survive. Can their plan actually prevent a second world war? You’ll love this chilling supernatural thriller because the clever melding of horror, historical events, and unholy possibility by Connor Gunnin will keep you hooked until the end. Get it now.

Favorite Lines:

“The weariness and humility sewn into her face made her beauty feel earned.”

“We exorcised a demon but unleashed a monster.”

“Because to him, faith was not about evidence. He taught her that if
people all had proof, there would be no test, no purpose, and ultimately, no redemption.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I must admit that when Gunnin contacted me about this book, I read the title and thought to myself that there was no way this wasn’t going to be satire despite Gunnin reassuring me it was a serous tone – I was quite wrong.

This story explores a creative blend of history and horror, presenting readers with a creepy what-if scenario that I found to be both disturbing and addictive. Without giving any spoilers away, this book is as the title suggests – it presents the possibility that perhaps Hitler was not “human evil” but rather, was demonically possessed.

Gunnin did a great job at both world and character building. I also thought the mix of history with horror was really unique and only added to the world building. I could definitely see reading this around Halloween with the lights dimmed in order to be thoroughly creeped out and I could also most definitely see this being on the big screen someday.

Summary:

Overall, if you are a fan of horror, historical fiction, and thrillers especially of the supernatural variety then this book could be for you. Happy reading!

Review: Goyhood by Reuven Fenton

~ likelystory18 ~ 1 Comment

Synopsis:

Funny, poignant, and revelatory while plumbing the emotional depths of the relationship between estranged brothers, Goyhood examines what happens when one becomes unmoored from a comfortable, spiritual existence and must decide whether coincidence is in fact destiny.

When Mayer (née Marty) Belkin fled small town Georgia for Brooklyn nearly thirty years ago, he thought he’d left his wasted youth behind. Now he’s a Talmud scholar married into one of the greatest rabbinical families in the world – a dirt poor country boy reinvented in the image of God.

But his mother’s untimely death brings a shocking revelation: Mayer and his ne’er-do-well twin brother David aren’t, in fact, Jewish. Traumatized and spiritually bereft, Mayer’s only recourse is to convert to Judaism. But the earliest date he can get is a week from now. What are two estranged brothers to do in the interim?

So begins the Belkins’ Rumspringa through America’s Deep South with Mom’s ashes in tow, plus two tagalongs: an insightful Instagram influencer named Charlayne Valentine and Popeye, a one-eyed dog. As the crew gets tangled up in a series of increasingly surreal adventures, Mayer grapples with a God who betrayed him and an emotionally withdrawn wife in Brooklyn who has yet to learn her husband is a counterfeit Jew.

Favorite Lines:

“He burst into another mercury-popping day, the sun a white disk in the immutable blue, and took his first breath of air since discovering that hell had no bottom.”

“You know how sometimes you don’t appreciate the constants in your life until they’re not there?”

“Goyhood…the state of rebounding from one travesty to the next.”

“I’m giving you the shittiest Yelp review you’ve ever seen.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

When I received the request for a review on this book, I thought it sounded like a cute, slice-of-life story and I was partially incorrect. It does fall into what I would consider the slice-of-life category but it is so much more than that.

This story follows Mayer,  a Almud scholar who is married into a great rabbinical family. When his mother dies, he and his brother, David, find out that they are not even technically Jewish. This somehow turns into David insisting on a road trip where they bond and discover/rediscover who they are as people.

This was an enjoyably funny novel that touched on surprisingly deep topics in a light-hearted way. I am not Jewish myself but Fenton did a great job at writing a story that can resonate with anyone regardless of religious views. I was really impressed and a bit skeptical that this is Fenton’s debut novel! I found this to be amazingly well written, witty, and overall fantastic at capturing what it means to belong. Fenton did an incredible job with this one and I can’t wait to see what he comes out with next!

Summary:

Overall, if you like slice-of-life stories full of humor, heart, family, faith, and so much more, then this book could be for you. Happy reading!

Review: The Collector by Eli Stephens

~ likelystory18 ~ 1 Comment

Synopsis:

“A once believed distant past returns for Collector Karson. With possessing the only license accepted galaxy wide, Karson’s employer, the Solicitor General, forces him back to his memories. Hoping a defined life could be muddled into the grey, he encounters something that shows him just how black and white his world is. Standard routine becomes a complex adventure, men become evil beasts, women become a divine treasure, a simple contract becomes his purpose. Karson must find his Brother of the Forge, before the Fool takes him.”

Dive into the rich world Collector Karson must navigate to fulfill his simple contract. Technology, Empires, Kingdoms, Lovers, Veterans, Warlords, and the Divine, all can be found inside The Collector , a sci-fi action thriller and the debut novel of author Eli Stephens.

Favorite Lines:

“You may know her every move, but I know her every desire, so I suggest you step back before those desires sway against you…friend.”

“‘You walked into my club with a T-seven, what did you expect?’ Karson added, ‘It was two actually.’ ‘Pardon?’ Karson repeated, “It was two, I had two T-sevens.’ ‘Oh shit my bad…you came in with TWO T-sevens, what did you expect?'”

“So, you are blind suddenly?…Nope just oblivious.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a debut novel for Stephens and I thought it was a fantastic first book! It was a really refreshing and creative story concept that I am jealous Stephens was able to pull off and bring to life. Karson’s journey was an interesting one as he finds himself whisked away from the world he thought he knew that was rooted in routine and into a world full of intrigue, action, and adventure.

Stephen’s world building is nothing short of extraordinary, weaving together elements of technology, empires, kingdoms, and the divine to create a tapestry of rich details that keep readers invested throughout the story. Stephens does a great job at blending elements of sci-fi, action, and thriller genres to create a story that is quite unique. 

Summary: 

Overall, with the compelling characters, intricate world-building, and interesting plot, this would be a great read for fans of the genre and newcomers alike. If you like sci-fi, thrillers, action, adventure, and a touch of romance, then this book could be for you. Happy reading!

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I rarely trade in fiction for another genre but when I do, I always hope to be blown away and this book was no exception. My 2024 goals include practicing more mindfulness and I think this book had a lot of tones that resonate with that.

This book is in a workbook format that includes space for readers to write down their thoughts and progress. It focuses on motivation, and planning for success and overall happiness. It helps readers adapt to unanticipated changes and how to work with/through them.

I could see how the structuring is a bit weird to some. As a type A individual, I am pretty rigid with planning etc. so it threw me off at first but I decided to make it a learning exercise in itself and to practice going with the flow of the information that was provided in the structure that it was provided in. Looking at it through that lens made it much easier to just enjoy the information being provided to me.

Summary:

Overall, if you’re looking for a self help book to inspire you to live your best life, then this book could be for you!

Review: Facts are Stubborn Things by Richard A. Danzig

~ likelystory18 ~ 2 Comments

Synopsis:

Facts are Stubborn Things is the story of Chance Cormac, a litigator, boxer and lapsed Catholic who confronts some hard facts about the law and himself when he reluctantly agrees to represent a client in a divorce action as a favor to another attorney. It is a story of corporate intrigue, international money laundering and corruption. Chance is forced to face a professional and personal crisis and learns that pride often goes before a fall.

Favorite Lines:

“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible. Be true to yourself and your beliefs.”

“Facing facts is not an easy thing to do. Some facts are not only stubborn, but they are cold and hard to swallow.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I must admit that I think this is my first legal drama/fiction book. You would think as a law school graduate myself, I would have read more but somehow that is not the case. Facts are Stubborn Things follows Chance Cormac, an attorney accepts a case to represent a client during their divorce but somehow finds his way into something much darker than a marriage that fell apart. 

This was a great legal drama that had me on the edge of my seat. This could be called a suspenseful thriller that just happens to take place in the legal world. This book has it all: New York vibes, the Russian mob, cyber crime, and navy seals. Danzig definitely does a great job at keeping readers from getting bored. I could definitely see this being a movie someday!

I was actually a huge fan of the character writing in this book. Danzig did an amazing job at writing both likeable and unlikeable characters. They had realistic qualities that really brought them to life – which I think is very important – and even when I didn’t like a character, I understood their motives. 

Summary:

Overall, I found this to be a really clever and witty novel. I really enjoyed Danzig’s writing style and tone of voice throughout. If you like legal dramas, fiction, thrillers, and suspense, then this book could be for you!

Review: The Surfacing by Terrance Coffey

~ likelystory18 ~ Leave a comment

Synopsis:

Body snatchers.
Mind control.
An alien invasion almost too clever to be caught.
Read the most chilling sci-fi first contact story in years…

A seemingly normal six-year-old named Kaden is concealing a profound mystery. He possesses an uncanny wisdom beyond his tender age, navigating the world independently, and wielding an eerie influence over those around him, even his parents. Yet Kaden is not alone in his inexplicable nature. In the quiet town of Lynch, Kentucky, peculiar occurrences spiral out of control. Mysterious chasms materialize from thin air, individuals of all ages vanish without a trace, and the populace succumbs to an eerie force, enveloped by an otherworldly blue haze.
Amidst the chaos stands Clay Krutcher, a disenchanted coal miner unwittingly holding the key to unraveling these anomalies. Little does he know, the fate of humanity rests squarely on his shoulders. Can Clay defy his destiny, confront the inhuman force lurking beneath the surface, and save our world from impending annihilation? The countdown to The Surfacing has begun, and time is running out.

Favorite Lines:

“It’s already hard enough out here, honey. This world is cruel and vindictive. People treat you a certain way not because of who you are but because of how you look and who you’re with. Why make your life even harder than it has to be?”

“You always smell like a dog. Stop blamin’ it on the rain.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I grew up watching sci-fi movies with my dad so naturally I’m a fan of the genre and this book sounded right up my alley. Following multiple storylines, this book takes readers on a creepy ride as humans themselves not alone on Earth. Strange things start to happen in the small town of Lynch, Kentucky. People are going missing, voids are appearing in the air, and the citizens of Lynch are being terrorized by an unknown force. Clay Krutcher finds himself in the mix of it as he tries to get to the bottom of the mystery plaguing the town. In a parallel storyline, we also follow along Lily and Frank Astin as they deal with the mysterious disappearance of their autistic child, Jeremy. These stories become intertwined with a disturbingly unusual six year old named Kaden who is in the center of it all.

This book reminded me of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host – I guess only in the body snatcher context – which I always thought needed to be more than one book due to the world and content potential she introduced in that book. I am happy to report that I felt like this book had the perfect amount of information and the pacing felt just right. I didn’t feel rushed but I also didn’t feel bored.

I found this book to be incredibly addictive! Needing to know what happens next, I was turning page after page to see where Coffey was going to take us. Coffey does a great job at both world building and character writing. I often felt like I was right there in the room with the characters throughout the story and I especially loved the plot twist! I think this book would make a fantastic TV show or movie and can’t wait to see it on the big screen!

Summary:

Overall, if you like sci-fi, action, mystery, suspense, and thrillers, then this book could be for you. Happy reading!

Review: You Are My Sunshine by Nabilah Khan

~ likelystory18 ~ Leave a comment

Synopsis:

Diana Dawson, an Abu Dhabi based author, has a rare allergy to sunlight, which makes finding love a struggle.

At least her career is on the rise – that is, until her editor (and best friend) quits as she’s preparing for a writing competition that could skyrocket her to fame.

To add to Diana’s luck, fate throws two men her way. Theo, her gorgeous new editor, is off the cards. Lucas, her sexy neighbor, is the outdoorsy type.

Diana’s love life is turning into one hot mess and the competition is fast approaching. Will she be able to keep her dreams sizzling or is she setting herself up for the worst burn ever?

Fans of romantic comedy will enjoy this novel by Nabilah Khan.

Favorite Lines:

“‘Nah, I just cook for survival,” he says casually as if knowing exactly exactly what I’m thinking. ‘I could teach you,’ he offers. ‘You’d be wasting your time. I can burn ice.'”

“Rosie is right. He is a good editor. She never cooks for me.”

“I’m not adventurous. I don’t just try new things. I think about them first, make a list of the pros and cons of doing said new things; I get anxious, and then I don’t do them.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I’m a huge sucker for romance so when Khan requested a review for this book, I knew I had to read it. The story follows Diana, a woman who is allergic to the sun, who finds herself in an upwards trajectory with her career until her editor has a baby and she has to be replaced. As if her luck hasn’t suffered enough, two men are thrown into her life but neither are a good idea. Her new editor is attractive but out of the question due to their working relationship and the fact that he has a long-distance girlfriend and her neighbor loves the outdoors which might be just a tiny bit of a problem when Diana can’t go out in the sun. We quickly find ourselves living alongside Diana as she gets caught in a love triangle of sorts with the man she does have and the man she finds herself unable to stop thinking about. 

If I had to be nit-picky, I think my one complaint is the lack of descriptions for the characters. Diana would acknowledge someone was attractive but there was no description as to what they looked like for readers to picture them. This may have been an intentional choice by the author so that readers can imagine whatever they wish but it was something that caught me a bit off guard and is definitely not the norm. 

Nonetheless, I thought this was a really cute book and made for a great romantic comedy. I could definitely see this being made into a rom-com movie that I would most certainly watch.

Summary:

Overall, if you like fiction, romance, comedy, and romantic comedies then this book could be for you!

You Are My Sunshine

 

Review: Early Adopter by Drew Harrison

~ likelystory18 ~ 4 Comments

Synopsis:

The Price of Tomorrow, Paid Today

“Early Adopter” is a collection of short stories from the edge of human progress. Eight stories hold dark mirrors to our own world… experience thought-provoking sci-fi, technologic tragedy, and pulse-pounding thrillers.

To Run Again: Dr. Laura Brandie is ready to change the world.
She’s the lead researcher behind the KSE, a revolutionary cure for paralysis and neurodegenerative conditions. And now, by good fortune, she’s found the perfect candidate for her first human trial: a man who suffers from locked-in syndrome.
Brett Harmon’s paralysis is total: he can’t move his arms, legs, torso, neck, or face. To the outside world, he’s little more than a statue that breathes… but Dr. Brandie’s KSE might be the miracle that allows Brett to run again.

Homonoia: The world faces an unprecedented alignment of catastrophes and failing systems, far too intricate and interconnected for any human to solve. Frank Burman joins with seven other volunteers for Project Homonoia–a radical, last-ditch effort to postpone the apocalypse. Separate minds link to form one multidisciplinary consciousness, the world’s first human superorganism… a hive mind. But with the world’s health rapidly failing, can Project Homonoia work out its kinks in time to make a difference?

Early Adopter: A loner enters into a relationship with a new type of partner: an AI agent, programmed to be the “perfect companion.” Sure, it’s all self-deception and a game of pretend, as she’s not actually real… but where simulated consciousness is concerned, maybe the lines between real and real enough can get blurry.

And many more!

Favorite Lines:

“A notification on the bottom corner of your screen shows Larry sent you a link. ‘It’s a list of psychological clinics in your area,’ Larry explains. ‘You should check into the nearest one and explain to the labcoats there that you just did the most braindead thing a man’s ever done, intentionally uglifying your partner.'” 

“…sidestepping outside your own normal head is the best way to acquaint yourself with the lens you see reality through.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

When Harrison requested a review for this book, it was described to me as a collection of short stories with an overall tone similar to Black Mirror. As a fan of Black Mirror, I knew I needed to check it out and I was not disappointed. I am a sucker for a good science fiction with a twist type of story and this collection was a creative collection that touched on a variety of thought provoking topics that hit a bit too close to home and were chilling in how close we are from that type of reality.

This was overall a very well written collection of stories. Harrison does a really good job at world building and I found myself constantly at the edge of my seat torn between wanting to close the book and not being able to turn the page fast enough because of all the suspense and twists and turns.

My two favorite stories in this collection were To Run Again and the name sake of the collection, Early Adopter. To Run Again centers around the story of a researcher who proposes a cutting edge treatment for neurodegenerative conditions. As the first short in the collection, this one really set the tone for how the rest of the series would go. The ending left me thoroughly creeped out but still wanting more. Early Adopter reminded me of the movie Her where the main character has a romantic partner that is programmed to be a romantic companion. This story had me pondering ethics that I haven’t had to really think about before and I found it to be very thought provoking and even a bit sad.

Summary:

Overall, I really enjoyed this collection. Harrison did a fantastic job at shining light on too-close-for-comfort alternate realities that left me thoroughly disturbed in the best way possible. If you’re a fan of fiction, thrillers, suspense, sci-fi, and mirrored realities similar to Black Mirror, then this book could be for you. Happy reading!

Review: A Purely Wrong Story by Laurel Burns

~ likelystory18 ~ Leave a comment

Synopsis:

Life took your innocence, but shame is snatching everything that remains.

Maybe someone took your choice, or perhaps you regret the choices you made, but with dysfunctional sexual incidents on the rise, so are the numbers of women living with the shame incurred from these detrimental experiences increasing as well. Until now, your best options have remained guarding your story and masking your pain–at least, that’s what your shame insisted.

But it’s time to improve your prospects.

Your circumstances might seem too awkward or embarrassing to address, yet author Laurel Burns was once a captive of shame too. Offering discreet support, A Purely Wrong Story halts shame’s infiltration and accompanies your journey to:

  • Acknowledge and accurately assess your experiences and the resulting trauma or guilt
  • Discover motivations and beliefs preventing your healing
  • Demolish barriers keeping you, as a non-believer or even as a believer, from approaching Scripture to access an under-emphasized game-changer
  • Free yourself from self-doubt while ousting shame as the defining word of your life

Why bother trying to hide or erase your life’s details when they’re perfect for writing a purely wrong story?

Given this social issue’s vast reach, A Purely Wrong Story includes reflection/discussion questions as part of its bonus material for additional growth and support. These questions are suitable for an individual’s personal development as well as a social group study. A step toward healing, in any capacity, marks progress toward eradicating sexual shame–one story, one woman, one life at a time.

Favorite Lines:

“I can see other girls and women still in the ocean of life. Some are leisurely bobbing, unaware of the infested waters. Others are exhausted from swimming and barely treading water.”

“You have heard that voice deep down in your heart and mind, whispering, ‘There’s a better way.’ Please, grab hold.”

“A pastor, who holds dual master’s degrees in therapy and counseling, once told me that what we feel follows what we believe. What we believe to be true, what we hold as the truth, directly affects and causes our feelings in response.”

My Opinion:

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

I want to start this review off with a trigger warning. This book discusses heavy topics surrounding sexual assault and may not be suitable for some readers.

It has been awhile since I have read any sort of self-help or advice book and I admit that I have never read one related to sexual shame. As I read, I noticed that while I may not have the same story, I have a similar enough one that what Burns wrote about resonated with me. I imagine that most women have had some experiences or thoughts that are similar to those mentioned in this book and it was, I am going to use the word relieving, to know that we are not alone in how we think and feel about these things. Plus, there is a passage about buffalos and eye sight – you’ll know when you get there – that made me chuckle and is a great example Burns providing some light to illuminate some otherwise dark places.

This book touched on religion and used it as a guide which was unfamiliar to me as a non-religious person. However, I still found it interesting in kind of an “outside person looking in” type of way. Nonetheless, there was more religion/spirituality throughout this book than I was expecting and felt it was important to point out in case that isn’t your vibe as it took me a bit by surprise.

Summary:

Overall, while not a typical read I still found this to be interesting and have points I could relate to. I would describe this as a self-help meets inner reflection meets spiritual counseling book surrounding the topic of sexual shame and how to rid yourself of it in order to heal and live a more fulfilled life. Happy reading!
