*REVIEW*Silencing Joy By Amy Rachiele

Silencing Joy
By Amy Rachiele

I scream. I couldn’t help it. I jump up and whack my head on the bottom of a bleacher. My hand flies immediately to the lump forming. I start running while bent in half. I try to get out. 
I don’t. 
Suddenly, my hair is yanked back. I shriek as my hands automatically go to the back of my head. My heart races in terror. I bend backwards from the yank and then fall to my knees. 
~Joy, Silencing Joy 

Joy is the type of person that goes about her business, stays out of people’s way, and keeps to herself. Everything changes one night at a football game. 
Have you ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time? 
Follow Joy as she discovers what wrong place and wrong time actually mean. 

Kara shifted in her seat and her foot slipped. Something pulled on it. 
A hand came around her mouth and she was falling. Kara found herself flat on the ground in the dirt and trash under the bleachers. 
A cloth was slipped over her mouth and tied behind her head. Someone flipped her over like a hog, tying and dressing it for a roast over a spit. Kara’s hands were yanked and bound behind her back with thick rope. 
~Kara, Silencing Joy

REVIEW
5 STARS

I received an ARC for an honest review of Silencing Joy.

  This was quite the action packed story.Joy minds her Ps and Qs and worries only about herself.While at a football game something goes horrible wrong.Joy is at the wrong place at the wrong time.She witnesses something brutal happen not once but twice. Unfortunately that puts her right into the middle of Witness Protection.
  I enjoyed reading this.The writing was great!I had some issues with Joy.I've read every book Amy has written and Joy just wasnt up there with her other characters.Im not sure why.We just didn't click.Does this make a bad book?NO.It just means Joy and I need to have a talk.I digress.Silencing Joy was action packed and very well written.The story flowed extremely well.I enjoyed the secondary characters as well.As always I love the way Amy writes.Be sure to check out Silencing Joy on Amazon and Smashwords!!!

*REVIEW* Frosted Over By Amy Rachiele

  

 FROSTED OVER
BY AMY RACHIELE
RELEASE DATE:May 2013

 My recent turmoil is nothing compared to the shocking state I am in now. I pull in an icy breath that scratches my throat where a scream sits waiting for my brain to allow it to escape. Droplets of moisture pool at the edges of my eyes. My nose stings with the bitter wind and the urge to cry. In my lifetime, I could never imagine such a horrible and grotesque fate as the one standing menacingly in front of me. My jumbled thoughts wonder why this wolf wants to attack me.
~ Libby

Without the forewarning of the noise and earth trembling like before, snow barrels into Cassie and rips her away. I can’t believe it, one second she was there reaching for me with her fur collar caressing her cheek, the next she was gone.
~Kyle

Freezing temperatures.
Blinding snow.
Trapped with people you barely know.

Libby, Allie, and Cassie go skiing every year. This year is different. They decide to try cross country skiing, but they get run off of the road. In the near accident, they meet Randy, Kyle, and Alex. Can their new friendships survive a hostile blizzard? People aren't always what they seem
Teen/Young adult (YA) A Survival Romance.

I was given an ARC for a Honest Review.

  Well Amy has done it again..Only this time with a totally different type of book!This is nothing like Amy's Mobster series.There are new characters,new romance,survival,Avalanches.Be prepared to fall in love with this Novella.Libby,Jill and Cassie set out on their yearly weekend snow adventure and literally run into Kyle,Randy and Alex.During an outing a storm blows in stranding them.Find out how they overcome the cold,the weather,found romance and throw in a crazy person lurking around.Will they survive this?
  Amy has had me entrenched in her Mobster series so I was so excited to be able to review Frosted Over for her.Which is definitely not a mobster book.The characters reacted better then I would have had I been stranded. Amy has a way of writing that entrenches you in a story and keeps you begging for more.I want more Frosted over!Amy is such a wonderful author,I hope everyone enjoys Frosted Over as much as I have.I as always look forward to reading everything Amy writes!

Young adult (YA) A Survival Romance.

Coming April 2013

 Exclusive Excerpt:

A survival novella

Randy never got a chance to answer me because the snow came and rained down on us from everywhere. Up and over the boulder, down the sides, and around to where we are crowded together. My eyes are squeezed firmly shut and tears leak out the sides. Randy’s grip is strained and tight, forcing the breath out of me.
“It’s okay. It’s okay,” Randy reassures me in my ear as the snow keeps coming.
The crashing and thudding echoes in the riot of the unnatural blizzard that surrounds us. The waves of snow continue on and on, violently.
When it appears to have stopped, I finally looked out at our buried surroundings. Luckily, the boulder had created a barrier. In the small area below it, we survived. The rock didn’t crush us, and the snow didn’t bury us.
I notice though that snow is still coming, thick and fluffy. The sky has become very dark, confusing daytime and evening.
“Is that residual from the avalanche?” I ask Randy with an unsteady voice.
“No, I think it’s starting to snow.” He peaks around the boulder checking out the area.
Fear from the avalanche is still lodged in my veins. I rub my hands over my arms hugging myself.
“Dirk told me they were expecting a bad snow to storm tonight.”
“Well,” Randy says looking at the sky. “It didn’t wait for tonight.”

Mobster's Vendetta

Antonio and Megan have a timeless issue. They were told to stay away from each other. They try, they really do. But they are drawn to each other.
Antonio is eighteen and the up and coming mob boss of Palmetto, New Jersey. Megan is a girl uprooted from the grassy plains of Ireland at the age of five. Now she’s seventeen and faced with horrors she never thought existed.

-------------------------------------
Wow,What a very wonderful read.I was expecting to enjoy it..but totally and utterly fell in love with it.This story is about the somewhat forbidden romance between Megan and Antonio. Megan is a Irish girl in an Italian neighborhood and Antonio is the son of a mob boss.They are both attracted to each other and for a short while are able to date before Megan's Parent's do something unthinkable.Without giving to much of the ending away lets just say its left at a nail biting cliffhanger.
 I was blown away by just how easily I was able to immerse myself in this book.I wish it was longer and not a series as I really disliked that it ended.But that is a sign of a great book.It was a quick read for myself so I hope book 2 is slightly longer.I see great things coming from Amy Rachiele.I am anxiously awaiting ..throw in some nail biting as well for book 2 and hoping to see how Megan and Antonio's relationship plays out.
