Chrysalis Book Review

Hi all! Today on the blog I am going to be reviewing a book I was given the chance to receive an ARC of. Chrysalis is the newest book by the wonderfully talented author, Angie Martin. This is one book I would recommend to anyone who loves paranormal books. And without making you wait any longer, here's my review:


Chrysalis by Angie martin


This book was AMAZING!!!! I couldn't stop reading once I started. Chrysalis is full of twists and surprises you won't see coming. Angie Martin has a hit with this book.
The story follows Sheriff Peter Holbrook as he tries to save himself and his town from what's hiding in "The Gray". I spent the first part of this book trying to figure out what was happening to the people of Nowhere, but when I finally realized what was invading this small town I was even more intrigued by the story.
This is one book lovers of paranormal will not want to miss out on. I could read it again and again and again...
I RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS BOOK AT NO EXPENSE TO THE AUTHOR.


Hope ya'll get a chance to read this book. You won't be disappointed. Later Days!!!

First Line Friday Prompt - Fiction Cafe Writer's Group

To save his own life, he would have to kill. That was something he had never thought he would have to do. He wasn't even sure he could pull it off.
 If he didn't do this, they would kill him, and then kill them as well. He had been ordered to take out the people he cared for more than anything. His own family.
Brent Sinclair took a deep breath, staring at his children. Gabe was only seven years old, Jacey five. They hadn't even lived their lives, how could he possibly cut them so short?
His gaze moved to his wife. Myra was at the stove making lunch for her family. What was he going to do? He couldn't hurt them, for any reason.
He would have to find a way to protect them from this threat. The only way he could do that was to tell Myra what was going on. He really didn't want to tell her about the trouble he was in.
He had been involved in some things he wasn't proud of. How did anyone tell the people they loved something like that? No, he would have to let that secret die with him.
"Brent?" Myra looked at him.
He swallowed hard, looking at her. She was such a sweet person. She didn't deserve to be murdered for what he had done. None of them did.
"What?" He smiled at her.
"Are you okay?" She handed him a plate.
"I'm fine." Brent took a bite of food.
"Daddy, can we play baseball later?" Gabe asked him.
"Sure buddy." He ruffled his sons hair. "Eat first, okay."
"Okay." The boy took a bite of his sandwich.
"What about me, Daddy?" Jacey scratched her nose.
"You too, Princess." Brent smiled at her.
This was killing him inside. He wanted to take them and hide some place safe. Unfortunately he knew they wouldn't be safe anywhere on the planet. Dimitri Kendrick would always find them.
The man had connections all over the world.

No one ever got away from him, or his goons.

That meant he had no choice but to do what he was told. He would prefer to do it himself, rather than have Dimitri do it. It would be a lot less painful if he did it.

He knew that Dimitri would torture them first. That was his favorite thing to do to the families of the people who betrayed him. He refused to let that happen to his wife and babies.

“Brent, is something wrong?” Myra asked him. “You seem a bit distracted today.”

“Just tired, I guess.” He lied.

He never lied to her, at least when they were face to face. It hadn't been easy to do. They had always been open and honest with one another.

He couldn't believe the things he had kept from her. Telling her would only destroy her. It would destroy all the trust between them. He couldn't hurt her like that.

He watched his children talking rapidly, laughing at each other. They had always meant everything to him. How could he have been such a fool? What he had done was going to get them killed. No father should do something like that to his children.

They were so happy at that exact moment. He had to make all that change in the blink of an eye. After tonight they would no longer feel happiness, or any other emotion. It was an unfair and cruel fate for someone so young.

He looked at his phone on the table. He really didn't want to answer it. He took a deep breath, looking at the number on the caller id.

“I need to get this.” He stood up. “It's work.”

Brent walked out onto the back porch, closing the door behind him. He waited until he was sure no one could hear him before answering it.

“Hello.” He swallowed hard again.

“Brent.” Dimitri's voice came on the line. “I changed my mind. I don't want you to kill your family while they sleep. I want you to do it NOW!”

And there you have it. Most authors choose the songs for their playlists according to things that happen in the story, or that relate to particular characters. I chose these songs by using a different method. The MC in my book named Tammy Perdue is named after and based on my best friend who passed away in 2012. These songs are some of her favorites. Blown Away was her most favorite. I hope ya'll enjoy my playlist. THFA is with the betas and going through some changes. Hopefully it will be published later this year.
Until next time... Keep Writing!!
Later days!!!
