Today I finished
reading, A Twist in Time by Julie McElain and my review will be coming soon at
my WordPress. So be sure to be on the
lookout for that. I have lots of interesting things to say about the story.
I’m currently
reading two books!
Roma Amor
(Won in a book giveaway)
Riding
home from the Danube frontier, Marcus Carinna hears a voice whisper, “Your
turn,” as he passes his family tomb. An unseen presence also startles the
Germanic priestess Aurima, whom he is bringing to Rome. But hardheaded Romans
scoff at ghosts, and Marcus can’t believe it’s a warning from his brother, who
killed himself three years earlier.
37 AD: To great acclaim, 25-year-old Caligula Caesar has become Rome’s new master. No one is more pleased than Senator Titus Carinna, who helped him succeed to the throne. It’s a shame the Senator’s older son—Caligula’s closest friend—committed suicide after being charged with treason. But that still leaves Marcus, his second son.
Headstrong and hot-tempered, Marcus would rather prove his courage by fighting Rome's enemies than take his brother’s place. Yet when his father calls him home to befriend and steady the erratic Caligula, he has no choice.
Swept into a labyrinth of deceit, conspiracy, and betrayal reaching from Palatine mansions to the city’s grimy, teeming streets, Marcus will uncover a secret that threatens his family, the woman he desires, even his life… and may bring chaos to the young Roman Empire.

Berlin
Calling (ARC for review) - Pub Date 14 Feb 2017
Germany
1938. While young and old are captivated by the country’s rapid ascent under
the leadership of Adolf Hitler, naive Maggie O’Dea, an American studying
abroad, finds her own fortunes turning after falling in love with a handsome
soldier and landing a job with the Propaganda Ministry. Embodying the
infectious spirit of nationalism sweeping the country, her powerful dispatches
launch her broadcasting career as a champion of the Fatherland.
But as
Germany invades one peaceful neighbor after another and the wheels of World War
II are set in motion, Maggie starts opening her eyes to the grim reality of
Hitler’s intentions. Torn between her successful career rooted in the
allegiance to her adopted land and a growing dread over her role in a tyrant’s
ruthless reign, Maggie—supported by a new love—must fight her own war of
conscience. Will she survive a conflict threatening the world…and her own life?
