There are times when you need a book to cure an ailment or just to take your mind off some worry. And there are books that have this thaumaturgical power to explain to us how life works or to reassure us about something. One of them, in my opinion, is A Reservoir Man by L. J. Ambrosio. It wasn't so much the plot that struck me, but the style. A Reservoir Man caught me off guard as I thought I would be faced with something predictable. It is the story of Michael, a man on his way to life, who makes detours through social embarrassment, sexual assault, wars, scandals, and obsession. His existential path lacks a landing place because the use of splitting mechanisms and the disruption of belonging make a lack of the necessary support for a possible integration, in a short circuit where ungovernable anxieties and identity fragility are nourished as he meets the men near a reservoir inspite of the reservations of his family. It is the task of Michael to reinvent himself and the world,

Today I bring you my impressions of The Mind, a novel by Gloria Foster, a game of mirrors where everything can be real or illusory at the same time. For me it has been my first approach with this author and I have had a great time reading this book. It is true that when I got this novel, I was expecting something else, but the path it has taken me has pleased me and above all, it has surprised me. We are going to attend a reading that is not at a frenetic pace, but it is not necessary, since the author combines a plot that puzzles and that you want to know more about. The plot has an atmosphere that will make us relive the childhood of Sheila Leclaire, an investment banker who lives in Sommerville, Virginia. Haunted by voices of events that occurred in her childhood, we find Sheila is a tenacious and we could even say obsessive woman. In Sheila's story real things are mixed, dreams, and a lot of imagination. The same author gives us the key. The book is seasoned with an evening

Roller Rink Starlight is a memoir by William Hart that wistfully recalls the 1960s when he was young. Dominating the book is the passion, in a climate where lies the coolness to let yourself be penetrated by its fragility. And, in this sense, the book becomes a symbol of a society evolving to manage relationships and affections. The book, on the other hand, offers a lucid look at those times gone by. The prismatic characters, the relationships connoted in all their complexity, mean that with the never tragic yet profound ironic touch, William Hart makes us reflect on the institution of the family and monogamy, and prefigure the fragility of some conquests that all epoch seemed imminent, like equality between the sexes. Set in Wichita, Kansas, William Hart traces his relationships with Katy Linsey, at the tender age of fourteen and later with Lauren McCabe, that changes his life later. They were young and at the mercy of their inner world, of shyness, of prudery, of the unspoken, of l

The Society of Necessities by Christopher Bowron is not an easy novel, but it's certainly out of the ordinary. It is not easy to tell you about this book because I think that every word would be trivial compared to its beauty and complexity. Set in breathtakingly beautiful places and narrated with a style capable of captivating the reader, the book is an intense and impossible to forget tale. We are faced with a plot whose outcome is by no means taken for granted and which indeed seems capable of reversing, in the end. Daniel St Croix, the protagonist, will find himself investigating the mystery of his estranged grandfather’s estate-including a gold wedding band holding a powerful secret. Daniel must read Pierre St Croix’s well-kept journals to unravel the puzzle as he finds an obscure secret society in his pursuit. From here Daniel sets out on a journey to unknown and mysterious lands, involving the reader and guiding him along a path that is often full of misunderstandings and

The Scavenger is a new book by Aidan Lucid, author of 'The Lost Son'. There are black and red pages and, most outstandingly, descriptions that reflect key moments in the events. They are great! So if you are a fan of horror, unexplained stories, events that seem straight out of a movie, this book is for you. The plot, in my opinion, is perfectly in line with the theme, and then I fell in love with the cover - even if unfortunately, I only have the digital version. The cover image perfectly represents that that you can find in these pages. I particularly enjoyed this book: it is about friendship, relationships, hopes for the future and family. The protagonists are three kids: Jared Duval, Adrian Cole, and Jessica Barlow. They are friends and after a school’s Halloween dance they live the adventure of finding a runaway lost girl. Without realizing what they are doing, they follow her and comes across an abandoned shack with a well outside. They decide to make a wish and their

This time I bring you the review of The Italian Billionaire's Kidnapped Mistress by Kyra Radcliff. I must confess that the books by this author are perfect results as I always look for light and agile readings. If you know me, you will know that I’m an incurable romantic. Let's change my modus operandi for once. Let's start immediately with: did I like the book? This book has left me dumbfounded, perhaps also due to the fact that the writing was engaging. This novel does not lack the part that makes the reader laugh but also the part that moves it and that in the end we become attached to the main characters and their stories intersected during the story. Going back to the book we have a kidnapper as seductive as is bewitching. A young girl kidnapped for a sisters’ safety. A steamy passion that will make you lose the floor. This is a book that tells us about Tori Parsons, Cesare Moretti, Gabriella Marchese, Alfonso Marchese, all rich, all beautiful, all problematic. T

The Billionaire's Secret by Ravina Hilliard is the book I'm talking about today. Behind the cover lies a novel which has been able to mix eroticism and romance with a truly compelling suspense plot. This romantic and erotic novel with a guaranteed happy ending, and a few problems along the way, chronicles the romance between a young businesswoman and a billionaire. Serena Aisling, the protagonist, is a woman who is as strong in appearance as she is sensitive inside. Serena knew better than anyone what it was to have a painful past, as her millionaire father abandoned her at birth to be raised single-handedly by her mother. After working cleanly and professionally, her life is turned upside down when she is sent to Helsinki to design a production process for a new product at the Mäkelä Group, ruled by the coveted bachelor, Matias Mäkelä. Serena is immediately drawn to the attractive, overbearing CEO, causing internal conflict. It had not been her intention to keep Matias f
