REVIEWED BY J.M. NORTHUPSparking Imaginations
This was fun to read with my granddaughters. We enjoyed it equally. It made a nice memory and offered a shared activity of something we love – reading, friendship, and faith.
I liked how it encouraged believing in things even when the odds are against you. I loved the way it not only sparked ones imagination but also faith. It was a positive message kids need to hear; believe in yourself. Have faith in friendship. Don’t give up because someone else has a different view.
Great book for confidence building. I feel this is a warm story that is subtle in context though vibrant in presentation. Well done.

REVIEWED BY SAHARA FOLEYI found myself liking and hating the story
I found this book through a book tour. I’d never heard of the author, but the blurb sounded interesting and it had lots of ‘awards’, it was in Kindle Unlimited, so I thought I’d give it a try.
First off, I really liked the idea of a worm hole being in a conch shell and that’s how travel to our planet was done. Second, I also liked that toward the end, we go to the Grand Canyon and it ties in with the Hopi Ant People.
As with other readers, though, I found myself liking and hating the story. There were times I felt connected to the characters. I did have a tear in my eye at the end. However, mostly there was no connection. There were actions that Skye did I felt most people would’ve questioned. Or in the case of the ex-girlfriend, why did she believe her? I sure didn’t.
And a lot of situations seemed to pat and contrived to advance the storyline. Like in the cave. They had to crawl on hands and knees to get into the cavern, yet, suddenly, there’s all this equipment in there and they leave on an ATV. Really?
It can be an entertaining story if you’re not to analytical. For me, I give it a solid 3 stars.

REVIEWED BY KAREN J. MOSSMANIt left me feeling that I’d missed something.
I saw this advertised on Facebook by Joffe Books. I fancied a crime story and it was in Kindle Unlimited, too. I also noticed it was a brand new book, released less than a month ago.
Although this is the first book of what will be a series, it made several references to a previous murder case and how they dealt with the gang featured in this book before. It left me feeling that I’d missed something.
Dig Two Graves was an entertaining whodunit detective story although I guessed who it was early on. I loved how it was set in Manchester and in places I knew.
The detective team investigated two murders which are discovered at the start of the story. There were other murders along the way so it seemed an odd name for the title.
The main character was Detective Superintendent Hedley Sharpe, who led the case. I didn’t find him very likeable. His side kick didn’t make much of an impression either. Although I quite enjoyed the story, it’s doubtful I will read the next book.
Overall, the plot is good and it will keep you turning the pages. Crime fans will enjoy it and I particularly liked that everything is fully explained at the end.
