Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re all doing well. As some of you may have seen, I have closed up my Twitter/X platform. I’m still keeping the landing page, however I won’t be posting there any longer. I don’t know if I’ll be moving to another SM platform, but I’ll keep you posted. In the mean time you can still find me on Facebook (here), Instagram (here), Goodreads (here), BookBub (here) and YouTube (here).
Now onto some much more fun stuff. This week I’m reviewing another book from the Tales of Tarot Collection; Twisted Fates (find the book here) by Adam J. Ridley (find him here). Let’s get to it.
Blurb:
With his newfound powers, can the new Legacy Wizard save the man he loves, or will a backward turn of the Wheel of Fortune cost him everything?
In a world where the Wheel of Fortune spins their destinies, two souls collide in a whirlwind of magic and desire.
Damian, an ordinary taxi driver, is thrust into an extraordinary fate when a mysterious ring transforms him into a legacy wizard, bound to the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
Owen, a young lawyer, is drawn into Damian's world as he untangles the legacy left by Damian’s predecessor.
When their paths intertwine, a dangerous attraction ignites, threatening to unravel the delicate balance Damian must uphold.
With newfound powers at his command, can Damian protect Owen or will all hope for love and balance be lost to the darkness?
Review:
Another Brilliant novel in the Tales from the Tarot Collection
I couldn’t put this story down. The novel, the characters, and the writing were fantastic. Ridley is a brilliant author who creates such wonderful stories that you don’t want them to end. This was the case with Twisted Fates. I had such a good time getting to know the characters that when the story ended; I was bummed. The secondary characters were equally as enjoyable adding to the brilliance of the story.
I can’t go into too much detail about this novel without giving plot points away. There are a couple of bugaboos I have about this story that I’m going to share. First, I felt that the story was rushed to meet certain beats and plot points, which bothered me. When I enjoy a book, I want the author to dive deep so I can get to know the characters and the world. The other nit I have with this novel is that as much as I understood why things happened the way they did, I felt like the characters didn’t have much of a say in what was emerging around them, which did annoy me. However, that said, I get it and I appreciate why everything occurred the way it did. And despite this critique I really enjoyed the writing and the story. I hope Ridley revisits this world because I would love to know more and see what else these characters get up to.
That’s all I have for today. Until next time have a great week.
