Death Unmasked by Rick Sulik #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

The concept of reincarnation has remained a disputed one. While a part of the human race believes in it, the other half rules out its possibility. Whether you are a believer or not, Rick Sulik’s excellent writing in his book, Death Unmasked, would amaze you and force you to reconsider your opinion on the subject. Emil and Laura were deep in love. They were crazy about each other; however, their dreams and hopes of growing old together were shattered by an evil man, who was so blinded by his temporary power that he decided to play God and take away … Continue reading Death Unmasked by Rick Sulik #BookReview

Overland: 16 Total Strangers Traveling through 8 Countries in 1 Broken Down Truck – Welcome to Africa by Pete Mandra #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

Although a cynic would doubt that a book, whose plot is based entirely upon traveling across Africa for six weeks in a truck filled with strangers, would be entertaining enough to actually allow them to immerse in it, the author’s humorous and sarcasm-filled writing with just enough details about the journey would definitely prove to be the most delightful read ever. The humorous take on the adversities and mostly boring drive across Africa is the most refreshing manner of writing. As Paul and Megan decide to fulfill their desire to travel the world, the exotic and wild charm of Africa … Continue reading Overland: 16 Total Strangers Traveling through 8 Countries in 1 Broken Down Truck – Welcome to Africa by Pete Mandra #BookReview

In Conversation with Julie Coons – The Author of This Does Not Leave This House

Mojito With a Twist

This Does Not Leave this House by Julie Coons is very close to my heart for a number of reasons. Although I cannot mention them all here, I would like to mention my top three reasons – This memoir puts forth many disturbing, yet real, aspects of the author’s life, but it never became a sob fest. The author has written about her painful life not to gain sympathy, but to push others, who are in the same boat as she was, to make a change in their lives asap. This Does Not Leave This House is a powerhouse of … Continue reading In Conversation with Julie Coons – The Author of This Does Not Leave This House

Beneath the Lighthouse by Julieanne Lynch #BookReview

Reviewed by me for Reader’s Favorite. Readers’ Favorite Book Award Contest – Enter Today! Although horror is not my genre, the plot of Beneath the Lighthouse by Julieanne Lynch intrigued me enough to read it. I am delighted to report that this is more than a horror story.

Daughter, Undefined by Jackie Ruchti #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

Reviewed by me for Reader’s Favorite. Readers’ Favorite Book Award Contest – Enter Today! Imagine that you were adopted but nobody told you; however, by the behavior of your mom (or the person whom you considered to be your birth mother), you always suspected that you were adopted. Hurtful, right? It’s bad enough to not know for twenty-five long years that you were adopted, but what’s worse is suspecting that you are not living with your biological parents by observing their biased and unkind behavior towards you. Even imagining such a situation gives me goosebumps, but this had been Jackie … Continue reading Daughter, Undefined by Jackie Ruchti #BookReview

First Survivor by Mark Unger #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

Reviewed by me for Reader’s Favorite. We claim to be in charge of our lives until we are forced to go through an alien territory; however, these are the circumstances that push us to explore our strengths and weaknesses. This is what happened when Louis, the three-year-old child of Mark Unger, the author, and his wife, Mary Ellen, was diagnosed with Cancer. If such a small kid is bedridden even for a day, it breaks the hearts of their mom and dad; so nobody can even begin to anticipate the kind of shock and pain that Mary Ellen and Mark … Continue reading First Survivor by Mark Unger #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

Reviewed by me for Reader’s Favorite. Shackled – A Journey From Political Imprisonment To Freedom by Adam Siddiq is his grandfather’s real-life narration of a very dark time in Afghanistan. The sufferings that his grandfather, Mr. Khalid Siddiq, endured are beyond my imagination. I was appalled, moved, inspired, and transformed after reading Mr. Khalid Siddiq’s life story. Khalid was born into an influential family. He lived in a huge house with many servants and all the imaginable riches. His uncles and father were in the most sought-after political positions. When they needed to choose sides for the welfare of the … Continue reading Shackled – A Journey From Political Imprisonment To Freedom by Adam Siddiq #BookReview
