Cover Reveal: Anissa’s Redemption

Title: Anissa’s Redemption

Author: Zack Love

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance

Cover Design: Ashley Byland

Anissa Toma fled war-torn Syria after narrowly escaping the massacre of her Christian family by Islamists. Fortunate enough to rebuild her shattered life in New York City, the young refugee gained admission to an elite college, where she excelled. Her beauty, brains, and purity soon captured the interest of two powerful men: Michael, an activist working to establish Antioch, the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien, her professor and one of the city’s wealthiest bachelors.

As Anissa’s saga continues, the refugee-turned-rising-star must navigate between Michael and Julien, while trying to help her surviving relatives and other vulnerable Christians in Syria. As she gets closer to both men in a complex and evolving love triangle, can she unlock Julien’s traumatic childhood to open up his heart? Or will Julien find greater solace from his nightmares and other demons in the sessions with his intriguing therapist? What will Michael do for Antioch and for Anissa, and what will Julien’s role be? How far will each person go to help Anissa’s remaining family and other persecuted Christians at risk in Syria? Find out in this stunning sequel to “The Syrian Virgin.

Zack Love graduated from Harvard College, where he studied mostly literature, psychology, philosophy, and film. After college, he moved to New York City and took a corporate consulting job that had absolutely nothing to do with his studies. The attacks of September 11, 2001 inspired him to write a novelette titled “The Doorman” and heightened his interest in the Middle East. A decade later, that interest extended to the Syrian Civil War, which provided the backdrop for his latest work. In late 2013, Zack began releasing his unpublished works of fiction and became a full-time author. He has published comedy, psychological and philosophical fiction, and romance. Zack enjoys confining himself to one genre about as much as he likes trying to sum up his existence in one paragraph.

My June Starters

 

 It’s the third quarter of the year… It’s June!! Time flies so fast, really!!

Yesterday, I went shopping with my family and I had this itch to drop by my favorite bookstore to haul some books. Because I could never have so many books! I want to have all the books in the world, if possible!

Anyway, here are some of my latest book finds that would surely make my June month busy.

More Twisted: Collection of Short Thriller Stories by Jeffery Deaver

A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott – the very same author of the classic Little Women

WhiteOut – an intriguing mystery novel-slash-medical drama by New York Times Bestseller Ken Follet

Elements of Chance – something like a disfunctional family story – family against family – based on the synopsis authored by Barbara Wilkins

Clear and Convincing Proof – another series of courtroom drama starring bigtime lawyer Barbara Holloway – a novel by Kate Wilhelm

Nearer than the Sky – by T. Greenwood – love of Family between sisters…

Yes, different authors, assorted stories.. not much Romance-Love stories this time… (except of course for A Long Fatal Love Chase – which is more on the thriller-suspense-tragic romance-type) trying to steer clear from romantic hush-hush for now…

’tis gonna be a long month ahead… yipee!!

Monday Musings – August

Just another Manic Monday!

Welcome to the first edition of Musing Mondays for August. Wow, where have all those months gone? Time flies so fast when you are enjoying, isn’t it? Anyway, here’s our Musing Monday. This is a weekly meme hosted by MizB from Should be Reading.

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…

• Describe one of your reading habits.

• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).

• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!

• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.

• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!

Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

My Musing for today is about my reading habit. As you all know, I have a habit of reading books with a theme for every month. Last month, July, is the second part or second half of the year, so I read Sequels or the second books of a trilogy..

This week, or should I say, this month of August is all about Angels and Demons! Yes, I have already arranged my shelves to ake sure that I am gonna read books that have angels and demons on them. I am all about Angels, their origins, their kinds, their love lives. Next, I’d love to know more about their counterparts, too. The Demons. The Black angels. The Evil monsters.

Here are my upcoming Books-To-Read this month:

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Death Whispers by Tamara Rose Blodgett
Demon Girl by Penelope Fletcher
Demon Hunter and Baby by Anna Elliott
Fallen by Lauren Kate
Hades by Alexandra Adornetto
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Sandman by Neil Gaiman
Mark of a Demon by Diana Rowland
Undeadly by Michelle Vail
