It Hurts Every Time by L.P. Mills

About It Hurts Every Time:

“Death is not the end, sir,

No, sir, not the end of the line,

Just remember what I say to you;

It hurts, baby,

It hurts every time.”

Pluto Garcia is a lieutenant in the Community Militia of Morrisette, a post-communist city-state where a miracle drug has advanced enough to allow the dying a second chance at life by launching them into the nearest available universe in which they are still alive.

In his latest incarnation, Pluto is tasked with investigating the death of Krishna Klein, a brilliant but troubled philanthropist who has been found with a bullet in his head following a week-long bender. With the aid of his assigned partner, Esther Dupont, Pluto uncovers a techno-fascistic plot to plunge the flawed Utopia of Morrissette into authoritarian control once and for all.

My Review:

It Hurts Every Time is a exceptionally written scifi novel. I loved the idea of reincarnation in a new universe upon pending death of a character. The pharmaceutical advancement of a drug capable of saving a dying person by launching them into an alternate universe is interesting. The author did a wonderful job plotting this story and fleshing out his multiverse concept. The added mystery and political implications Pluto unravels bring even more excitement to this book.

I enjoyed the author's writing style and creativity. The character development was done well, as was the world-building. I found myself immersed in the story, attempting to solve the murder mystery and reasons behind the assassination. It Hurts Every Time is a great speculative fiction story with great writing, characters, and settings. 

I was provided a copy of this book.

About the Book:

Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr. Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure.

This time, the pair are visiting the tombs of the ancient feline kings in Egypt when they discover that a precious mask has been stolen. They have to interview tourists from around the world – including a cowardly lion, a spoiled hippo and two secretive pandas – to discover who is guilty. But the mystery is not as straightforward as it first seems.

It will take the pair on a thrilling adventure deep inside the Egyptian tombs and require all of Bones and Catson’s skills to solve the crime. The second book in Buster’s brand-new Sherlock Bones fiction series features puzzles – including search games, logical conundrums and shadow matches – that are woven into the action, so the reader feels immersed in the exciting detective plot.

My Review:

Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Mask is the second book in the Sherlock Bones Puzzle Quest series. Sherlock Bones and his trusty sidekick, Jane Catson, are visiting the Egyptian Pyramids when a valuable mask is stolen. Filled with puzzles and games, this book is a delight for all ages, but is specifically for middle grade readers.

I love the spin on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Loves of anything Sherlock Holmes will find this series fun, full of adventure, and entertaining.

#Review ~ Claus and Effect by Piper Rayne ~ @PiperRayneRocks #HolidayRomance #Romance @valentine_pr_

Claus and Effect by Piper Rayne is now live!

Two strangers who couldn’t be more opposite find themselves on an unexpected cross-country road trip days before Christmas where whatever can go wrong, does.

He’s an Army Ranger.

She’s a baker.

He’s organized and rigid.

She’s messy and carefree.

He doesn’t do relationships.

She’s following her heart.

His family chat blows up his phone.

She just buried her last living relative.

The holiday season doesn’t seem so jolly as they venture from one mode of transportation to the next. But, they have to become friends and rely on each other if they’re going to survive all the obstacles thrown their way.

As the miles grow shorter, vulnerabilities are shared, and by the time they reach their destination, neither one of them is sure what they really want for Christmas anymore.

My Review:

Military and down-on-her-luck collide during a trip across the country.

Claus and Effect takes the reader on a wild ride across the country involving two strangers on a plane, in a car, and via train. Tessa is chasing love across the country and Tre is going home after being on active duty. Enter one disaster after another as both try to go from the east coast to the west coast. Forced together due to several unfortunate events, this couple of opposites find themselves traveling together to get to their destinations before Christmas.

This book is a stand-alone novel but ties back to Single and Ready to Jingle. We get to see the two main characters from SaRtJ, one of whom just happens to be Tessa’s bestie, but the interaction is light.

I love the opposites attract trope. Tessa and Tre were clearly not right for each other upon first meeting. Everything about them screamed oil and water. However, that’s the beauty of this story. Tessa and Tre were in a forced proximity scenario, without a lot of input from people they knew (which we all know can be good sometimes, but also causes a lot of problems), allowing them to really open up to one another (eventually). When they are forced to share modes of transportation, they find they are more compatible than they first though.

Tessa and Tre are fun to get to know. Coming from different familiar structures, I wasn’t sure how things would pan out, but the authors did a wonderful job creating, developing, and drawing them out. While the timespan of the story is short, they both grow and develop throughout the pages, and I love seeing them together. The chemistry between them is off the charts.

#Review ~ THE ULTIMATE BRAG BOOK ABOUT YOURSELF: A hundred questions about how awesome you are! by Marla J. Albertie

ASIN: ‎ B0BT25JW93
Publisher: ‎ Self Publishing 
Publication date: ‎ January 24, 2023
Print length: ‎ 131 pages
Amazon: https://amzn.to/46x4Fzp
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54761376-the-ultimate-brag-book-about-yourself

Can you imagine all the things you like, love, and adore in one book?

Let’s be honest. We tend to forget how amazing we really are. It is easy to see it in others, but when it comes to seeing ourselves, we tend to have bad vision.

This is why I wrote this book! All your favorites are captured at one time with space to write more. How often do we brag about ourselves, take time to think about what makes us happy, or do the things we like? If I had to guess, not as often as you would like. You deserve to brag about yourself, so why not? Not only is this a bragging book, but it is a book of ideas you can use to start your next project, business, career move, or anything your heart desires.

In this book, you will learn:

How to vision board your next big career move
How to inspire yourself by simply bragging about yourself
That you are worthy

This book is for everyone who wants to see themselves as the person they are. You deserve to be your own cheerleader. Grab this book today and start bragging on yourself!

My Review:

The Ultimate Brag Book About Yourself is less about bragging and more about confidence-building, reflection, and goal-setting. Some of the questions are motivational, some are reminders of accomplishments, others are likes, loves, and needs. There are questions that don't pertain to me and will be left blank, but those are few and far between. 

All hundred questions require thought and your ability to go outside your comfort zone and really embrace who you are, your accomplishments, and where you see yourself in the future. Go ahead - buy the paperback, and for the one and only time I'll advise this - write in your book to your heart's content. Talk about yourself, pull information from the recesses of your mind, remember what you've done in your life, and have fun with those memories. 

You can do anything, and maybe you have. You can be anything, and maybe you are. There's always room to change and grow. If you find, after filling out this book, you haven't accomplished everything you've set out to do in your life, you can add to your bragging book later. If you're like me, many of my answers to the questions in the book (such as favorite artists, closest friends, and things that make me smile) change with the stages of my life. And that's okay. 

The paperback copy of the book I used was graciously provided to me.
