Strong as Death, Born From Death book 1
Ilona discovers what it means to have a mother who is a modern woman and a father who is a 19th-century gentleman ghost.


After being hit by a car and taken to the hospital, Ilona starts to realize she’s different from other people, and that her mother has hidden the truth from her. She sneaks out of the hospital in order to discover the truth.
A mysterious boy named Archer guides her through Brooklyn and introduces her to Hendrick, the man who claims to be her father—though he died in 1890.
Ilona must discover not only what she must do to rid the city of Soll, a sadistic and powerful spirit, but also what it means to be half ghost. She proves what her mother told her—love is stronger than death.
Sneak Peek at Awaken from Death:
The blond boy didn’t walk up to a urinal or into one of the stalls, or even up to the mirror. He stood in the middle of the room.
Invisible, Lettie watched curiously.
Something moved backward away from him. Out of him.
She recognized Archer’s shiny black hair and strong frame even before she could see his face.
She gasped. But ghosts can’t inhabit people.
The blond boy shook his head and looked around. “Fuck.”
“I’m sorry,” Archer murmured so the boy wouldn’t hear.
Lettie stared at both of them.
The blond boy turned, leaned his hands on the counter, and looked at himself in the mirror…not the way people usually looked at themselves. It was more like he was trying to see something more than was in the reflection.
Archer watched him, as if waiting for him to see something.
Then Lettie understood. Archer hadn’t merely inhabited the boy—he’d possessed him. But there were only a couple ways that’d be possible—if he were half ghost, or if he…
A memory struck Lettie like a horse galloping across a battlefield. An ancient memory. Lettie had been around since the beginning of time on Earth, but most of those thousands of years she let slink around the crevices of her mind. It was mostly just walking the bridge with the newly deceased. There were a few memories, though, that burned into her every time she let herself pull them forward. And burned was precisely the right word.
She knew—or rather, remembered—why Archer would never leave Ilona.

Book Review (LIV) Endless as the Rain

Endless as the Rain

by M.S. Kaye

For Adriane Graham, the real question comes down to this: “Am I Alec Kaden’s guest…Or his prisoner?”
If she’s a guest in the Kaden mansion, then it means Alec has freed himself from his family ties to organized crime. It means he’s telling the truth when he says he’s protecting Adriane from dangerous men and they can shake off the shackles of haunted pasts.
…But…
If Adriane Graham is Alec Kaden’s prisoner, it means his tenderness is simply a ruse to keep her under control; his kindness is just poisoned hypocrisy. It means Alec is a cruel liar, and that somehow, by some desperate way, she’s got to get out of this charming man’s well-guarded house before it’s too late.
Is she Alec’s treasured guest? Or merely a pretty bird, trapped in his gilded cage? The troubling questions pour like fountains…flowing…
Endless as the Rain.





My Review


Endless as the Rain is narrated in Adriane’s Graham first person voice, mostly, and also in Alec’s third POV.
The author built well defined and likeable characters and thus easy to connect with.
We slowly come to know Adriane, a bookkeeper. She says about herself, after the death of both her parents: “My routine was how I got through my days, my life.” A smart young woman, she proves much smarter than people at her office would have liked. She gets into trouble because of things she discovers regarding a high official.
Is Alec what he pretends to be, her protector? He claims he does it because “Our fathers were…associates.” Yet, there seem to be many secrets behind his friendly façade.
Well, I won’t tell more. This was just a teaser from the story.
The naturalness of the prose, the spot-on temperament of the drama, and the organic interactions of 9/10 of the story impressed me. Once I started it, I was installed in the story till the end.
Plotting was excellent and well executed.
I also appreciated that I couldn't and didn't figure everything out by page ten. Far from it. The story will hook you and then you will enjoy the various characters as well.
If you enjoy a good story and interesting characters who have their own individual stories, you will enjoy this book. Order "Endless as the Rain" today, as it’s a good read for anyone who loves romantic suspense.
