BOOK REVIEW: ELISSA BLUE by Tk Perry

Tell me how many times as kids or even  as adults you've debated over the existence of unicorns🦄 , but deep down in your heart  atleast once you've wanted to see one such unicorn?
Well,you  know that no matter how old you get you can never get over this fandom ;-p. But off lately I've found myself buried in a new fandom, now get surprised because  it's *Human butterfly hybrids *. All thanks to the book Elissa blue by tk perry.  So folks,
 Are you looking out for a fresh,new and a mind blowing fantasy read?  Well then,your at the right place!  I've got one such suggestion for you  today ! So let's take a look at it.
Language: English
Publisher: Scarlet note publishing
Published: 19 January, 2017
Pages: 396(paperback)/ 405 (kindle)
Genre : YA,FANTASY ROMANCE.
Standalone? : Nope,duology
PLOT/SUMMARY*before starting with the plot,I'd like to clear it out once again that is story is nowhere related to fairies and witches but human butterfly hybrids *
So, this story begins with the introduction as to how the human - butterfly hybrids came into existence and how it's their world now .
 This story revolves around Elissa(a human butterfly hybrid obviously) who has just gotten her wings and to fly to the mating mountain and find her mate before her season ends. If she doesn't manage to do so she'll be stranded there as a life servant all her life, and even if she finds a wrong mate, her life might get even more miserable. So will she ever be successful in finding the right mate for her ?
OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION:  well firstly, I would like to  appreciate this author's creativity  . She has expanded the horizons of her imagination and creativity to a whole new and an unbelievable level. I mean, come on ..who could even think of human - butterfly hybrids!
This story has a wonderful and fresh approach, I was gripped to the core while reading this, trust me I just couldn't put this book down.
It's interesting right from page 1. My thirst  grew deeper, page by page. There was not even a single page that I disliked or felt bored while reading it.
This story was really very well written and presented. There was no kind of info dumping in it which was great (for me;-p because I find it too irritating) everything was described vividly and just in the perfect way. I learnt so many life lessons from this book which I'll be carrying ahead in my life. This book just did so much to me, it made me cry, laugh, and most importantly it made me fall for it!  I could connect with the protagonist Elissa blue very well as she too finds it difficult to make decisions just like me;-p also during  the times  she has made stupid decisions and regretted them,so me ;-p.  Also this was my very first fantasy read that I actually completed, fantasies  were never really my kinda reads but this book really made me love this genre.
Her journey to the mating mountain and her  adventures there make this book a perfect fun filled  read . If your looking out for a fantasy read and are new to this genre just like I was, then this book is a perfect read for you
Even if you love fantasies this book will never disappoint you.
If there's one word in which I was told to describe this book I'd say, it's effervescent!
I'm really awaited for book 2 which is coming up by the end of summer. I hope I  can get  my  hands on it and be able to make a review over it as well.
MY RATING: 5/5
I'm pretty sure that you'd like to give this book a try now,so just go for it,  ⬇

POEM

Hey guys, Today is an extremely bittersweet day for me as it's been six months since my maternal grandmother passed away.  Being with her through out my entire childhood,her sudden death has left a deep scar on my heart . The reason why I'm saying bittersweet is because of the bitter taste of emptiness that she has left behind in my life and sweet because I know she's in a very good place,under the arms of the almighty now.
This poem is something that bleeds directly from my heart onto paper. To be honest,initially I just wanted to keep this poem to myself,however I changed my decision after coming to a conclusion that somebody who maybe in a similar situation like I am might find this poem healing him/her or the sweet memories with them might be enlightened once again.  Because we leave back nothing that's as precious as our  memories with people.  And for me,the most happiest plight would be if someone finds refuge/solace through/in my poems. On this day I wanted to do something  that's really special for my granny & the only thing that I am good at and the only thing that I  do with utmost dedication and all my might is writing! And hence this poem is for her❤. I won't ask you today if u liked it or not...because I think this poem is something that needs to  be felt.
The title of my poem is indeed true, she bid farewell to earth, but not my heart, she's  yet living in me! And yea! part of me has gone with you nana❤.



                                     You bid farewell to EARTH,not my HEART


                 You always made us glad,
                 With your love so pure and beautifully clad,

                  You made every day bright,
                  Even on my darkest night,

                   With your never ending support,
                  You taught me the way, my hurdles to abort.

                  It's been 6 months since your gone,
                 Your memories both soothe & haunt me from dusk to dawn.

                   You caressed  us With your soft and loving hands,
                   Just as, the waves caress the sand.

                   Will we ever be able to be an example of you,
                 whose love for everyone was as deep as the sea,
                 Often asks a crumb of me.

                An unceasing pain you left back in my heart,
                The day you chose to depart.

                 Unquenched shall remain my Thirst,
                 Because I know, I  shall never find  you again in the infinite universe.



*Your love taught me to conquer all odds,excepting to live in your absence.
Miss you  love❤,rest easy.*

BOOK REVIEW: UNDER THE INFLUENCE by Jacquelyn Lee

Have you ever been into a situation where you find no option but crying  .... crying out so quietly and alone in the silence of the night because you are stabbed by the knife several times in your chest by so many people that you prefer building up walls around yourself with the sole aim of not allowing anyone to enter in and ever hurt you again? You lay still and motionless , but your heart throbs faster than usual, your blood rushes within,thoughts jumble up in your mind
and you feel absolutely burdened and blame yourself for everything you've been through,but it's not just you who blames yourself but also your peers. Until you decide to stand and fight for yourself and you no longer blame yourself for what you've been through,nor do you allow others to do so.
But what next? You need to get your sorrows out of your chest but don't find it comfortable to speak it out in front of your peers/pals/loved ones.  It's then when some people decide to pen down their sorrows/hardships.  Believe me it's not easy but definitely not impossible.  As we all know paper is more patient than people. So today I get to you with one  such true story written by the victim herself in her book UNDER THE INFLUENCE by Jacquelyn Lee .

 LANGUAGE: English
PUBLISHER: SELF PUBLISHED(by createspace independent publishing platform )
PUBLISHED: 6 May 2018
PAGES:   150
GENRE:   NON- FICTION,MEMOIR
PLOT/SUMMARY  : This story revolves around the life of Jacquelyn a teenager and her 3 siblings  who have faced a lot of hardships and problems along with domestic violence and abuse. They were raised in the absence of a mother and under the influence of an alcoholic father and his toxic family.  Jacquelyn has faced abuse in many ways such as emotional,verbal and
Physical.  It was only when they were rescued by her mother's sister that they could live a so called normal life . It was then when her loved ones asked her to write down her story and she did.
OVERVIEW/MY OPINION: To be honest, this book has left me in tears. The author has expressed her sorrows deeply and beautifully in the form of Poetry and verses. This book left me speechless and in awe of her, I felt  a very deep and emotional connection with her. I could relate to so much of her feelings, anxiety and other problems. The writing style of this author is pretty impressive.  This book is a must read for everyone, even if you haven't been a victim of domestic violence/abuse because it gives you an insight into their world and life.
MY RATING: 5/5

But will she ever manage to get him back?
3:OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION:  I was distracted/confused many a times while reading this book because there are so many characters who play such a crucial role in this story.  Also the book was particularly a bit weak during the start. However I really loved the writing style of this author and this book was very impressive in terms of the descriptions of the characters and the notorious and emotional Side  of each one of them .

             OH WHISTLING WOODS!

        As I come here back today,in the forest of whistling woods,
     it refreshes back my memories of childhood.

    Our afternoons  would always be cheerful in the backwoods,
   letting happiness flow in the neighbourhood.
 
    Their offering brotherhood,
    would be a major part of our livelihood.

  And oh! How can i forget our evenings by the bay?
They would be the best part of may.

I still remember those days when,
They told me repeatedly,
"You know,its difficult to find love,it's there,don't throw it away,

But my thirst for city life,took me miles away,
never knowing that I might go astray.

But even today,returning back after years oh woods!
You'll accepted me saying that I am yet part of the same clay.
