Infernal Fall

Dear bookstagrammers,

Trust you are well! Thanks to @bookinfluencerscom and @bt_mitchell78 , I had the opportunity to review an exceptional book based on Dante’s Inferno but with a modern twist. Infernal Fall takes you on a journey through hell and beyond and makes you experience something that is beyond thinking. The review here is without any spoilers and is my sole opinion.

Infernal Fall is based on the story of Daniel, a young man that hopes to make a decent proposal on a mountain during a hike. However, a dark cavern ruins his plans and makes a journey downhill toward hell. A demon tells him that the only way to get his freedom back is to negotiate with Satan but Daniel finds himself traversing the Underworld in search of his ultimate wish. Through this, our character had to pass through several levels of hell to return back to Kristine, the woman he loves.

This book was a hell of a journey (excuse my pun). It was worth reading because it makes the experience of Dante’s Inferno in a contemporary world more realistic and appealing. It was interesting to see how the different levels of sins are interpreted throughout the story. It was a fast read and obviously a little bit dark since it is hell-related but very (very) interesting. The book is about an ongoing process of terror and unexpected events. Even if one is not familiar with Dante’s work could enjoy it. The language is to the point and very descriptive. I highly recommend this book! Well done!!

Unleashed

Dear Bookstagrammer,

Another book review is here! Thanks to bookstagrammers.com and the author Amber Swenor I had the opportunity to read non-fiction; a motivational book named Unleashed, A Been-There, Rocked-That Guide to Radical Authenticity in Life and Business. Usually, I don’t read books that are considered motivational or self-help books l but I gave this book a chance and I enjoyed my time reading it. This review is my opinion and spoiler-free.

The book takes the reader on an adventure in the life of a rock star, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, Amber Swenor. The author wants to express how one could claim the rockstar identity and embrace authenticity in life. Despite the fact that people might judge you, the author gives tips and suggestions on how to move away from toxic environments and embrace who are you and what you are meant to be in life. Even if life is sometimes unfair and people might bring you down the book can help in motivating you to search for who you are. I enjoyed how the author wrote her raw stories and many times it hits the nail on its head when it comes to my personal story as well. I admired how Amber had the courage to follow her dreams of forming a rock band, participating in pageant contests, working in foreign countries, and changing jobs even with the risk of losing everything.

I recommend it to those who love a self-help book, especially to those who need to find themselves again. This book is a journey that could help you make the decision to become your true self.

Remy vs Rome

Dear Bookstagrammers,

 

Trust you are well and in good health!

Thanks to bookstagrammers.com and bonniecallahanbooks, I've read this beautiful book, Remy and Rome. I immediately fell in love with it because it is situated in my favorite country, Rome. When I read this book, I was passing through a difficult situation in my life and the book made it easy to escape a little and found myself in the beautiful Eternal City. This review is my opinion and spoiler free.

Remy, the character of our story found herself in Rome, the place where she shared her first kiss.

She was in Rome to rediscover herself when she agrees to go on a date with a total Italian stranger. Little did she know that that stranger was a wanted international criminal. Remy finds herself under house arrest with the protection of charming Lorenzo Rossi, a Sicilian detective in charge of this investigation. She agrees to help and thus, they must solve a series of clues to track down this criminal. In order to do this, she must face Fabio, the international criminal together with a very persistent ex-boyfriend, Eric.

I won't spoil anything else but I highly recommend this book to all those who love the romance genre. It is such a sweet book and it is written in such simplicity yet very descriptive. This book will literally take you around Rome since the site descriptions are very faithful to what one could find in the Eternal City. It is a fast-paced book that will hook you immediately to the story. I spent hours even during my suppose sleep-time reading to uncover what will happen next. I truly loved the characters, especially the main protagonists. I adored how the story progresses. I give this book a solid 4 and a half stars!

Simone LaFray and the Chocolatier's Ball

Hello bookstagrammers,

Trust you are well and that everyone is in good spirits!

Another book review is here! The author S.P. O’Farrell through Bookstagrammers.com chose me to review Simone LaFray and the Chocolatier’s Ball and give my honest opinion about it. Who can refuse a book when there are chocolate and mouth-watering desserts involved? Also, let us not forget that the story is situated in the middle of magnificent France.

The story is about Simone, a twelve-year-old investigator that helps her father to run a family patisserie in the middle of France. She is also a very good investigator through the footsteps of her mother she is trying to decipher the most scandalous thief that returned to Paris for a very devastating event. The problem is that an important ball is coming up and in the French patisserie, not everything is sweet as it seems.

This book is a highly recommended read for middle-school students, especially those students that are learning about France in school. It is ideal for a school book club. The main themes of the book are trust, responsibility, and family. The story is light and fast-paced which makes the reader eager and on edge to see what happens next. The plot is very engaging and the words used are ideal for those students who are learning English as well. Highly recommended book. Can’t wait to read the second book!

Melt

Dear Reader,

Bookstagrammers.com and the author Selene Castorvilla chose me to read ‘Melt’ and give my honest opinion about it. This is a book that I have read in literally in two days and kept me hooked even late at night. It is a book that you love or hate. For me, this book was a love affair. In fact I gave it a five-star which is not the usual rating for me. This review is my unbiased and honest opinion.

The story revolves around two characters, Joey and Dorothy. Both characters are so different from each other and lives in a world that is opposite. Dorothy is this sweet, teenage girl living her life which Joey is this messy, with a very bad reputation in town. Both worlds collided and both of our characters has to make a series of decisions that helps them to survive in their world. Unfortunately, the past is something that haunts the core of Joey and his addictions led to a scary reality.

This book gave me Colleen Hoover vibes without the smut. I was completely hooked by the poetical writing from Joey’s perspective and the fluent, deep narrative of Dorothy. The building of the characters is extraordinary. There are some trigger warning that one must notice including domestic violence and substance abuse. The description of the characters are so deep and poignant. It is extremely real and knowing that the story is based on true facts made me feel more connected to the characters. For me it is a highly recommended read.

Still, The Sky

Thanks to @tompearsonnyc and @bookstagrammerscom , I was given the opportunity to read this work of art. ‘Still, the Sky’, is a poetry composition that delves into the delicate beauty of the Greek Mythology. Already poetry is something elegant and sophisticated, now imagine it intertwined with the most beautiful retelling of Greek Mythology. 

This book makes references to many mythological tales and creatures including Icarus’ Fall, Theseus’ slaying of the Minotaur, Ariadne, Pasiphae, Minos and more. There are various themes in the poetry that I truly enjoyed including life, dedication and love. The elegance of the words composed are truly remarkable.

Apart from the words, Pearson’s books have a lot of artifacts depicted in the book that one could intertwine with what one has just read. My experience with the book is like going to a museum that have an interactive and a holistic experience. 

I highly recommend ‘Still, the Sky’ to those who are familiar with Greek Mythology and are in love with poetry. A good mastery of the English language is very important when reading this book since the author weaves his thoughts with words in a very elegant yet multifaceted manner. I must admit that sometimes, I did get confused and this is one of the reasons why I always insist why poetry is so fluid, sophisticated yet graceful.

A Brighter Tomorrow

Today, is another book review and I think this book is one of my personal favourites. Dr. Lori Schneider, MD through @bookstagrammerscom chose me for the campaign to read this book. The review here is my honest opinion and without any spoilers.

A Brighter Tomorrow is different book from the usual lot that I read. It is a pick-me up, memorial kind of book. It is a book of poems with the inside full of beautiful artworks. I spent a lot of time admiring the work behind each picture.

The book is about a society that is emerging post-Covid-19, a virus that hit us severely during the year of 2019 and 2020. Somehow, everyone was affected by this pandemic and instilled in us, fear.

The author chose that despite everything, see the positive. Despite the Pandemic, difficult political era in her country and racial injustices, she zoned out to express her feeling through poetry. As I was reading her work, I could feel the passion that she was writing with, and I could feel hope, courage and love that emerged from every word she wrote.

The poems are very easy to read and I highly recommend it to those who are moving away from the past and are trying to find a hopeful future.
