Blog Tour: The Greatest Lie Of All By Jillian Cantor

12-02-2024

For this blog tour, we're looking at . For this blog tour, we're looking at The Greatest Lie Of All by Jillian Cantor.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookHype.com / BookBub.com / TheStoryGraph.com / Goodreads.com):

Never Meet Your Heroes - You Might Find Out More Than You Wanted To. Seriously, this book takes that age old saying to heart in its basic premise... and then spins it on its head in the actual execution of the tale at hand and in showing all that has transpired in these characters' lives.

This is one of those inventive enough tales that it seems almost completely implausible... and yet real enough that it feels all too real at the same damn time. Surely, *nothing* could be *this* convoluted, right? (Says the guy whose mother in law is best friends

Blog Tour: The Maui Effect By Sara Ackerman

11-18-2024

For this blog tour, we're looking at an interesting departure for an established author that still reads like a love letter to the author's homeland. For this blog tour, we're looking at The Maui Effect by Sara Ackerman.

First, the review I posted to the book sites (BookHype.com / BookBub.com / TheStoryGraph.com / Goodreads.com):

Interesting Departure, Still A Love Letter To The Author's Homeland. Ackerman, at least in my time reading her works, has been a historical fiction writer before this tale. While there were generally some elements of romance to her tales that have always featured a female lead, that was seemingly almost there for realism and impact as much as trying to add in a romantic subplot.

Here, Ackerman goes instead for a more full-bore romance, still set in her native Hawaii. While not as impactful as some of her more recent historical fic
