Latest Review: Sooner Secrets by Shelley L. Levisay

Post by Kibet Hillary »

Courage and teamwork are important, essential lessons in life. I am happy that Rreme's parents eventually allowed him to pursue his ambition, instead of forcing him to take over the farm. The fact that the book is packed with twists and turns makes it suspenseful. Undoubtedly, I will enjoy reading this. Thanks for the review.

Hi @ Alida Spies, I keep getting emails that inform me that someone has just responded to the official review.

Thank you. I learn from other posts and therefore improve my future posts. @Mrlefty0706

I can already picture this intriguing storyline in my head. The courage of one pursuing their own dreams even if it means dissapointing the people we love. Science fiction is among my favourite reads and I am looking forward to get to this book and have my mind racing as well.
I appreciate this review.

I like sci-fi racing stories. The protagonist of classic farm boy with a “good heart”, Reme was the guide to an interplanetary world that featured pod racing. This was merely the beginning of this universe, and I am excited to watch it grow. Congrats on #BOTD

I've come to love sci-fi, so no doubt I'd enjoy this book. I can already tell from the storyline that it has a complex plot and would love to untangle the web and mystery that is David's death. And it sounds like young adult so it might even include some coming of age themes.

In a world ravaged by war and pandemic, Mira is searching for hope. She finds it in an unlikely place - a community of survivors working to rebuild society. But as Mira's understanding of the world expands, she realizes that the truth may be more dangerous than the lies. Filled with action, suspense, and heart-wrenching emotion, Afterburn will keep you turning the pages until the end.

What that so big that Reme's father and mother would not agree on at first to let his son chase after dreams. I would definitely read the novel to find out.

R.K. Higgins skillfully introduces readers to the racing world of Andora in "Afterburn." The character dynamics, especially Reme's journey, and the unexpected plot twists create a captivating narrative that left me eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series. Congrats on the BOTD.

Some science fiction books aren't for me, but this one sounds interesting. I love an unexpected plot twist so for that reason alone I'm going to read this one, thanks.
