Blurb:

Abducted and taken to a remote cabin in Alaska, Frankie finds herself at the mercy of four feral men, each with his own dark secrets and twisted desires.

With nowhere to run, she must rely on her wits to survive the harsh winter, trapped with them.

As she delves into their mysterious pasts, she uncovers an insidious evil that feeds on loyalty and uses love as a weapon.

Nothing is as it seems.

In this desolate world where the monsters are as beautiful as they are cruel, trust is elusive. They torment her, protect her, and keep her in the dark.

But to have any chance of escape, they must stand together.

Or fall prey to the evil in the hills of shivers and shadows.

BLP REVIEW – Rebecca

What the actual fuck?

In the author note at the beginning of this book Ms Godwin says her aim is to make you uncomfortable, conflicted and morbidly consumed. Well, as I sit here rocking in a corner, trying to find words to convey my emotions on finishing, I am all of the above so Bravo Ms Godwin, Bravo, job well done. Beyond fucking done.

Hills of Shivers and Shadows is a brutally raw, passionate, tragic and destructive story, beauty in all of its scars and broken pieces that fascinated and disturbed me. Disturbed me because I feel wrong that I’ve enjoyed this content, sympathised with characters I feel I shouldn’t have and become completely immersed and invested in a story I would have previously run from screaming “Fuck No” on repeat in my head.

I’d been making choices outside of my normal genre/authors recently, due to finding myself bored and for the first time in 50 years of reading DNF’ing (is that even a word?) multiple books, when Ms Godwin came onto my radar as I was frantically hoping for my reading mojo to return.

In so many ways this book and subject matter should not have worked for me however, it’s incredibly well written, full of twists, turns and unexpected shocking moments, it’s thought provoking, powerful, horrifying yet yes, morbidly consuming. The shocks keep on coming throughout, the feelings I started to develop for a character turn on a dime and the flick of a page, nothing is as it seems, the entire book is in so many ways beyond fucked up yet I find myself desperate for the next one, thinking about what will happen, where will the characters end up, what strands will continue to intersect and change this train wreck of a story that I cannot turn away from?

Reading Mojo back? ☑️

Morbidly Consumed ☑️

Conflicted ☑️

Uncomfortable ☑️

Total Head Fuck ☑️

So to wrap this up…….

Am I going to mention the blurb? No, read it! If it grabs you, buy it, if you think maybe, buy it, if it’s not normally your thing, buy it. That’s how powerful a read this is…..buy it, risk it, you won’t regret it!!

Am I going to mention characters? Hell no. Go in blind!! Enjoy, be disturbed, fucked up and conflicted by a roller coaster of a ride with no clue of what you’re in for.

Am I desperately waiting for the next one? Fuck yeah. And I’m totally nonplussed that that’s how I feel.

Maybe I’m darker than I thought I was. Maybe I’m now going to go in a different direction with my choice of reading material, but 100% I’ll be reading the next 2 in this trilogy (and investigating this authors back catalogue) because a story that makes you think and stays with you after you’ve finished, well that’s one worth the time and money to read.

Bravo Ms Godwin, Bravo

Job Fucking Done ☑️

Author Bio

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.

Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

BLURB

Sandra:
I’m a girl who doesn’t need a man. I’ve tried, but love isn’t in the cards for me. Until one night, one fateful evening—I fell and fell quick. The love that consumes me for Dominic Torano is epic, one of storybook fairy tales. That is until he asks for the one thing I’m unwilling to give him. It had been a decision I’d made, well before we’d met, and as much as I want, I can’t change, even if it is for the man I love with my whole heart.

Dominic:
I’m just a guy in love with a woman who evokes a sense of serenity in my life. It’s a beautiful love story, mine and hers. Until she tells me she won’t give me the one thing I’ve dreamt of my entire life—my own family. Do I walk away, stating we’re not compatible, or do I choose a woman over my future children, children I’ve yet to meet?

EXCERPT

My sister swore a weekend at the lake would be fun, and as the bare-assed man I met last night slides out of my bed, I’d say she was right.
It should be awkward, right? I know his name. I know he’s the brother of Daimen Torano, who is Chicago royalty. He’s hot and likes to tell me what to do in the bedroom. It’s all I know about him, but what more do I really need? When was the last time I had sex before last night? And how many orgasms did I have?
He looks back at me, sliding his jeans up and hiding the excellent view. “I had fun. Same time, same place tonight, Rosso?” It’s what he’s called me since we crossed paths last night. After all, he’s obsessed with my flaming red locks.
This is insane. I love sex, and I’m not a prude, but meeting a man a decade younger than me, only to repeat it tonight—I may be almost forty, but I’m not dead. Nor am I stupid.
“Sounds like a plan,” I answer, and he slips out of the room.
And it was the plan, but in the typical way my life seems to work, nothing goes according to plan, leaving a second night with Dominic Torano to my imagination.

Abraham

I already had my happy ending. Childhood sweethearts, my late wife and I made four beautiful kids together who are now grown and married off themselves. I’m content to be their old dad, tending to my ranch and my tomato plants. Until Emily Carson and her tempting curvy body and her smiles that she hands out like candy, crashes into my life making me want things I have no business wanting.

Emily

I’ve been on my own, more or less, my entire life. So when given the chance to move to the cutest, most quaint small Texas town I’ve ever seen. I’m the newest resident of Saddle Creek and I’m settling in perfectly. I love my new town and everyone seems to love me too. Everyone except, widower and silver fox, Bram Whitmore, who seems to hate me at first sight. Too bad the feeling isn’t mutual. Because that man, with his legit dad bod, is the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen.

He’s a man I could easily fall in love with, but I know I’m not enough to compete with the woman who loved him first.
