Now Live: Chronic by Alice C. Hart



Chronic
Author: Alice C. Hart
Expected Publication Date: October 13, 2017
Cover Art: Katrina




Brooke Jones is struggling with a chronic disease that few understand and even fewer know how to treat. Between hormone therapy, pointless surgeries, and the copious amounts of medication she’s forced to take, Brooke is nothing more than a piss poor shadow of her former self.

Her diagnosis was the domino that toppled her health, her weight, her attitude, and finally, her dreams. It has consumed every aspect of her life, strained her relationships, and jeopardized her career.

She will tell you things you can’t find in the ‘facts’ or ‘statistics’. She will show what it’s like to be torn apart from the inside. You will witness, first hand, the lengths a woman is willing to go to find relief from the pain.

Hell has a new name. It’s Endometriosis. 


***This book contains adult situations and is recommended for readers over 18 years old. My characters are never perfect nor do they try to be.***


Nobody listened to how I actually felt. I was always being dramatic or overreacting. Weird, I wasn't an actress and I never took drama. People, including my own family, had formed opinions about my behavior and me. 

Living with pain has taken its toll on Brooke before she even learned of her actual diagnosis. From the onset of her first period into her adult life, Brooke has come to dread her time of the month. Once correctly diagnosed it isn't a simple fix and she's on her way either-- so begins the journey of many doctors, prescriptions, and the battle of wills.

What really stood out to me about this book was the writing style. It almost felt as if I was reading someone's diary or watching a movie with commentary on. It was real, raw, and darkly comedic. I laughed with Brooke, felt her heartbreak over certain decisions she had to make, and felt her anguish after every surgery or treatment that wasn't the ultimate cure. Despite snarky co-workers or unsympathetic nurses, it would be impossible for the reader not to connect with Brooke or to even blame her at times for being a little b!tchy. #TeamBrooke all the way!

Although I personally have not experienced chronic illness I felt this book was a very accurate portrayal of the struggles one who does faces and a picture into a real life of supportive friends, a caring partner, as well as the struggle within oneself. Although a fictionalized story reading this really opened my eyes to something I didn't really quite know about previously. 

Highly recommended xx 

Love isn't perfect. It's messy and complicated. It's one of the main reasons for murder, aside from money. People act, say and do some of the weirdest sh!t for love.

Banned Book Review ~ The Wild by K. Webster

I brought them to the wilderness because we couldn’t cope with our reality. 
The plan was to make a new life that didn’t include heartache. 
No people. No technology. No interference. 
Just us. 
A chance to piece together what was broken. 
But the wilderness is untamed and harsh. 
Brutal and unforgiving. 
It doesn’t give a damn about your feelings. 
Tragedy lives there too. 
No escaping the truths that won’t let you go. 
All you can do is survive where love, no matter how beastly, is the only thing you can truly count on. 
Confusing. Wrong. Twisted. Beautiful. Sick. 
Love is wild. 
And we’re going to set it free. 

WARNING: 
The Wild is an extremely taboo story. Most will find that the themes in this book will make you incredibly uncomfortable or maybe even offend you. This book is only for the brave, the open-minded, and the ones who crave love in even the most dismal of situations. Extreme sexual themes and violence in certain scenes, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to heavy taboo themes, then this story is not for you. 
Seriously, you’ve been warned. 
Don’t say I didn’t try. 
You’re probably going to cringe many, many, many times. 
Even if you’re on the fence, it’s probably not a good idea to proceed. 
However, if you’re intrigued and fearless and kind of sort of trust me, then carry on. This book is for you.

DeVil ~ Ker Dukey



Evi Devil. 

Yes, that’s really my name.

The irony is not lost on me.

I was created from two evil souls and have the name to prove it. 
Devil worshipers, perverts, murderer. Is all terms used to describe the parents I refuse to remember. My mind won’t allow me to. 

And why would I want to? 

One born of dirty blood running through her veins can never truly be clean from its murky hue. 

No matter what they try to tell me happened in my past, my mind denies me access, therefore how can I know it’s true? 

How can I believe that’s what I’m born from?

Glimpses of my past haunt me, the screams of terror echo in the silent darkness of my memories, trying to remind me that my Mother went from room to room butchering our family. 

I’ve learned from scars that I suffered abuse and that my Father and siblings weren’t my Mother’s only victims. 

Hearing what they tell me.

Reading the words printed in the papers. None of it can prepare me for what’s to come. 

My biggest lesson is learning that some memories we suppress for a reason.
