An amazing woman

I have read countless books on childhood abuse and survivorship but this is a story not to be pushed aside. Erin's spirit and courage is beyond explanation and where she continued to get her drive will astound you. Erin is so modest and honestly so that you will never forget her after reading this.

I received this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This was such an amazing but heartbreaking read!

This book is a memoir. It details Erin Cole’s childhood told through short vignettes. What she went through growing up was so sad and intense. When you’re reading it, you keep thinking that her situation might get better, but it doesn’t until the very end.

On the flip side, it was still inspiring. The fact that she was able to persevere and become successful is so incredible.

I really like how the book was written because it had a nice balance between the good and the bad. There were a lot of sad stories but also some more humorous ones. Additionally, I enjoyed the writing style. It was very easy to read and flowed nicely. Using a co-author seemed to help in that regard.

I also liked how honest the book was. It never felt like the author was ever overly harsh or exaggerating. Going back to the balancing aspect, she even highlights a few nice memories/incidents with some of the people who hurt her in the past (like her dad’s girlfriend). She showed her situation as truthfully as possible.

Lastly, I also loved that she included some of her mom’s journal entries throughout the book. It gave a glimpse into her mind and an overall better understanding of why her mom was the way she was. The inclusion of the letters also goes back to the honesty of the book.

All in all, this book broke my heart but was so worth reading. I hope she continues to tell her life story in another book.

This was a very enjoyable murder mystery. I always know it is good when I never can guess who the murderer is and that happened with Grave Echoes. I kept thinking the killer was one person then another then another. I also wasn’t sure who Kate should trust. Very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait to read the next installment.

I thank the author for my signed copy in return for an honest review.

Mysterious keys, the occult, murder, a volcano on the brink of explosion, apparitions... Kate is surrounded by death, pain and black magic, she doesn't know who she can trust. This story is packed with suspense and intrigue, but this isn't what made the book for me. The author was able to reach into her characters and bare their souls. I often get impatient with mystery/suspense because of cookie cutter characters; this book has anything but. The characters were fantastically written, and the plot kicks A$$. I can't wait for the next Kate Waters mystery. Step aside Chelsea Cain, there's a new girl in town!… (més)
