HOT LOVE INFERNO. (Book review)



NAME: HOT LOVE INFERNO
BOOK SERIES: PROPHECY ALLOCATION SERIES
AUTHOR: NICKY BLUE
GENRE: DARK COMEDY, FANTASY 
PAGES: 171
RATE: 4/5

.
The story of this dark comic fantasy book is narrated by a dog, a basset hound, called Keith. Sold yet? Also it is a talking dog that has super powers of time travelling through any dimensions of the multi-verse and is also the savior in this story. Got your attention I am sure!
So the story is about Barry who lives with his mother Molly and is a trained ninja, in the disguise of a gardener. His father and sister went missing a while ago, and the police could find no trace of them but Barry was sure this wasn't a normal missing case. When Barry is out on a movie date with his mother's friend Merril's niece Joanne, three huge and ruthless Samurai attack the theatre and cause havoc there looking for Barry. Though he escapes, they kidnap Jo and keep her in an illegal sex toy factory, Barry now has 3 days to find and save her before she dies due to lack of medication for her seizures. His mother also believed these events were somehow connected to his father and sister's sudden missing.
Thus start a series of crazy and also hilarious events and how Keith, the basset hound enters this story makes it a great fun read. The samurai also hint towards some prophecy that they want to know more about which gets Barry confused. I do not want to give away anymore in this review as that would completely destroy the mystery and thrill of reading the book. So get it on kindle as soon as possible! 
The ending seemed like the book would have a next part and I am pretty excited!
.
The book has great and interesting characters with crazy situations and ninjas, samurai, a talking dog with special powers, a fearsome fairy-ish creature, and a lot more, which definitely makes it an exciting read. Would recommend it if you are fantasy story fans or into dark comedy!

THE CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE. (Book Review)


NAME: The Children Of Blood and Bone.
AUTHOR: Tomi Adeyemi.
SERIES: Legacy of Orisha.

PUBLISHER: Henry Holt and Company.
PAGES: 525
GENRE: Fantasy.
RATE: 4.5/5


Well this was one book I was extremely excited to receive from a book box subscription, and as expected it did not disappoint at all!
.
The story is about a Maji (or diviner) girl Zélie, her Kosidan brother Tzain, and the prince and princess of Odisha, Amara and Inan. All of these characters are young, vibrant and debutante writer Tomi Adeyemi presents them beautifully, taking you into the journey of their lives, and describes the contrasts and differences in their conditions in such realistic and emotional manner, that you get attached to each of them and she does not let you lose interest or connection with them throughout, even though it is quite a long story.

Coming to the plot, I won't get into the details because I'm afraid I might give away too much but the story-line is basically about a clan with great magical powers, which gets stripped off its magic and thus gets dominated and even enslaved by the normal or magic-less people who were earlier terrified of them. Zélie is a girl born with the magical powers of her mother and by help of the princess, she revitalizes her magic. Therefore, they set in a journey to free the magical people of Odisha while facing opposition from prince Inan who despises magic immensely. The forbidden romance between the leads though is kinda cliched, but yet is sizzling for sure. The plot keeps you engaged and for a debut fantasy novel, the writer has done a marvelous job.
.
I loved the novel greatly and can't wait to watch the film which is probably being made already.(I hope they do justice to the book!)
I would also recommend this book to the readers who aren't afraid of a lengthier read, as this deserves your time for sure!❤
(Books like these make long boring flights easier and even fun!)
