Gillian forces herself to trust the cops, people who hurt her, and known criminals. Will it be enough to free Pinkie and save her life?
read an excerpt...
Chapter 14 excerpt
I remember my eighteenth life rule: never make a promise I
can’t keep. “I never promised Pinkie we wouldn’t get involved, only that I’d be
a kick-ass manager for his bars.” I did promise Jon we’d get Pinkie out of this
mess together, and we will.
my review...
This is the first book I have read by Addison Brae. I
thought the author created the strongest character very well, Gillian was her
name. The bar owner that gave her a fresh start on life, Pinkie, was a guy
you’d love from the first page. Young Gillian finds she must save her mentor
which is the kind of plot everyone wants to read in the first place and of
course everyone wants it to turn out as they choose. Sometimes it’s hard to
tell how it will end. I mean this in a good way.
I saw terminology in the
genre description that is new to me. It was a genre called “new adult”. This is
the perfect description for this book. As an adult I enjoyed it with its
suspense and mystery. However as I read, I realized that while it contained the
problems of today and possibly the beginning relationships, it was a refreshingly
clean read. Would really like to hear
back from people what they thought and would even like an opinion from anyone
that has read Brae’s first book in the series, Becker Circle.
Overall a nice read. One that has you holding your breath a
little, hoping that your favorite character will win.

ReplyDeleteGood morning and thank you for the book description and giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAre any of the characters in the book based off of people you know?
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie - Yes, there are a few characters who are more of a mashup of a few people I know with lots of fiction thrown in. What's heartbreaking is that some of these inspirational people work in restaurants or bars. With the closures, many of them are struggling to get by financially and emotionally. I hope everyone supports their local restaurants as much as possible, and don't forget to tip. Thanks for the good question, Bernie, and for being a reader! ~Addison
DeleteSounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rita. The reviews have been good so far, and I certainly enjoyed writing it.
DeleteThank you Kathy for taking the time to read Dark Energy and for sharing your thoughts on Our Town Book Reviews. The story takes place in "my town", which is Dallas Texas. It is a tribute to the hard-working restaurant and hospitality workers in everyone's towns, many of whom are suffering from business closures. They need us, so support your local bars and restaurants, and happy reading! ~Addison
ReplyDeleteAddison, enjoyed posting your book and wish you the best of luck with it. -kathy
DeleteI enjoyed the excerpt, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcomed, Victoria! Thanks for begin a reader!
DeleteLooks great! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAny time, Victoria!
DeleteWould you ever like to see your book turned into a movie or tv show?
ReplyDeleteHi again Bernie. I'm a very visual writer, so I always see the scene before I hear it. I think Becker Circle and Dark Energy would work well as a Netflix or Amazon movie or tv show. It's a setting and story line that hasn't been done yet (that I've seen, at least), so I think a director would have fun with it. I'd love to see the actors who play Gillian and Jon in the Becker Circle trailer (https://youtu.be/Mf-GlfxPzdY) play them. Thanks for the question!
