Cadillac River by Jeff Napolitano Blog Tour!

CadillacRiverBlogTourBanner
Welcome to my stop on the Cadillac River Blog Tour. Cadillac River is written by Jeff Napolitano and published by California Times Publishing. Here's a bit more about the book!
Cadillac River NEW JULY 23
Emily Miller's parents tied her up. They left her in weeping willows alongside a river that was filled with the dead. But when a young boy takes a ride with his father down a deserted path, he has no choice but to find her. The Millers didn’t know he would soon be a friend, and his father was a person of interest, connected to the mob.

As the secrets children keep follow the unknown, they discover the repercussions of growing up with killers against the molds they weren't meant to be. But like the water that breaks when a child is born, the lessons they learn begin from the start.


REVIEW:

The first scene in this book definitely had me confused. Terrain's words were twisting and hard to follow at times, and the relationships were difficult to see straight when viewed from Christian's point of view. Things are certainly different when being viewed by children and it's obvious during most of this book when Christian is the one you follow.

There were definitely several things that weren't expected and were honestly shocking. And sad at the same time. This is certainly not a happy story. I will warn you about that much. 

It was an alright read for me but I'm sure that others might enjoy it more. There wasn't anything really wrong with it, it just wasn't something that I went crazy over it while reading.

Solid Ground by Katherine McIntyre!

(Image found on Goodreads)

Mags Javiks has one day left until she boards a spaceship to start her ambassador training, one day in which to admit her love for her best friend Lex. To do so, she will have to trade the solid ground of a comfortable past relationship for the unknown frontier of a possible future together. Official description from Goodreads.


The writing in Solid Ground was really well done. At no time did I ever feel my reading experience was disrupted or anything less than great. The grammar and whatnot was on point and just the style of how Katherine read was intriguing.

Not to mention she deals with a topic that many face; regrets. And I think the debating of Mags over her regrets and what she would have changed is something that resonated deeply with me. Just that topic was enough for me to think back and find things to think about.

It was painful and sad but a quick read. So the pain doesn't last as long as it could. But Katherine McIntyre has written a marvelous story.
