My Review of HIDING HANNAH

HIDING HANNAH
A Broken Girl Collection Novel
Written by Marnie Cate



Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass IncidentHIDING HANNAH by Marnie Cate
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intense & Dark Though Hopeful & Moving

This entire A Broken Girl Collection has been incredible.  It is powerful and thought-provoking while remaining engaging and entertaining.  It is dark fiction but at its very best!

Hiding Hannah explores the hypocrisy of people, specifically people who try to use their religion to control or condemn others.  However, that isn't what this tale is about.  No, the plot of this story is how a broken girl finds how to be a mended woman, if that is even possible.  It takes you through the life of a woman as she tries to piece herself together as she struggles to understand who she really is.

This book has something to offer everyone mature reader.  It has dynamic and complex characters with real relationships.  You'll find romance and hope, yet heartbreak and tragedy in this read.  It also has scandals twisted enough to tantalize and shock.  Even when I suspect what might be coming, true to her style, Marnie always leaves me in awe. 

This is a contemporary story that will resonate with many.  It is well-written and incredibly moving.  I am honored to have been asked to edit this manuscript.  The storytelling is amazing!

My Book Review of FORGIVING GINGER

Book 2 in A Broken Girl Collection
by Marnie Cate



The Perfect Sequel to CHASING CAITLYN

We met the jaded wife in book one.  Now, we are meeting the mistress.

FORGIVING GINGER is as intense as its predecessor and just as provoking.  Just as Caitlyn was searching for herself, Ginger is trying to forgive herself for missteps she has made.

Something I love about Marnie Cate is that she writes in a way that help you see the core of a character.  She wants us to understand how a person would accept being in the positions Ginger finds herself.  In doing so, you gain a deeper understanding and connection to the story, as well as the protagonist.

This is a work in WOMENS FICTION, but it's definitely an enjoyable read for any gender.  Though it can be considered a Contemporary Romance, this book is not romantic.  It is powerful, emotional, and honest.  Despite the darkness and intensity in the tale, this is an entertaining read that will captivate you from the beginning to the end!

FORGIVING GINGER

What makes a mistress?
Add the following ingredients:
Destroyed Home
Monstrous Foster Mom
Tainted First Love
California Strip Club
Conniving Dream Man
Simmer over hot flames and watch the pot boil over!
I never planned to be the other woman.  The lies trapped me before I recognized them and, by then, it was too late.  My heart was already his.

MAZY Reviews

MAZY
written by Marnie Cate

Direct Purchase Link - http://mybook.to/Mazy_MarnieCate

UPDATED REVIEW
5.0 out of 5 stars

When I first read MAZY, the Protectors of the Elemental Magic series was completely new to me.  Still, I fell in love with the story and the characters.  It was very reminiscent of the WICKED LOVELY series by Melissa Marr.  However, I truly feel these are better written, as well as being a move endearing story.

Having read MAZY as a standalone novel was thrilling enough, but when re-read it after enjoying it within the series, it was magical!  Each book is an aspect of a larger story that builds this rich end enchanting world - worlds!  I just seem to become more entranced with each tale, especially since each book has been detailed, driving, adventurous, and emotional.  Revisting MAZY was even more exciting than my first read of the book.  And, my tears were multiplied!

This book pulled me in, surprising and thrilling me.  I cannot wait to continue the series.  It only gets better and I HIGHLY recommend it!
